Rebirth Of The Rich And Wealthy

127

The perfectly fine banquet became a total mess and it was not until evening that everything was cleaned up. Lu Anran sat by the window pane in her room, gazing at the clear sky. In her hands were the small gift box from Young Master Long.

When her mind recalled back to the figure of Young Master Long she saw that day, Lu Anran felt a little unhappy. She did not have a good impression of that flirtatious man. In contrast, that V…. Lu Anran’s knitted eyebrows relaxed. She then stood up to take out the mask that she had carefully kept in her drawers to gently place it on her face.

V…. Why was he called V? Lu Anran did not understand. As she recalled that man’s affectionate brown eyes, she felt that pair of eyes were akin to a vortex, and could make her sink and drown in it anytime…. Lu Anran could not help feeling a little afraid.

At this time, her phone rang. Picking up her phone, she saw a string of unknown numbers. After accepting the call, Lu Anran asked, “Hello, who is this?”

“It’s me. V.” A deep beautiful voice of a man sounded from the other end of the phone.

“….” Lu Anran was stunned. Her heart seemed to have skipped a beat. “How did you get my phone number?”

“I asked from a friend.” Sitting by the bed, V gazed out of the window at the sunset. A hint of a smile seemed to appear on his lips at times, “I heard there was a lot of trouble at the Lu Corporation’s banquet today?”

“It’s nothing much.” Lu Anran replied. “Just a bit of trouble.”

“Help me wish Aunty a very Happy Birthday.” V felt very relieved after hearing Lu Anran’s voice.

“Thank you.” Lu Anran smiled. She really liked the sound of V’s voice. It was deep and melodious and there was trace of laziness, as though it was a narration of a love story or an intimate pillow talk between two lovers. As she thought of this, Lu Anran blushed. Really, what on earth was she thinking ah……

“This is my personal phone number. I usually switch it on at night. If you have any troubles, feel free to chat with me.” V said. “I will always be here!”

“….” Lu Anran was startled and could not help recalling the similar words that Long Yuxing had uttered previously. It was only after a long while that Lu Anran smiled and replied. “Thank you.”

“Hearing your voice, it sounds like you are troubled by something right now.” V asked.

“Mm… There is indeed a troublesome matter.” She was not sure why, but Lu Anran felt that this V person could be trusted. “I received a gift from Young Master Long today. It’s quite troubling.”

“You don’t like it?” V asked.

“I like the present.” Lu Anran opened the gift box to take out the necklace. “The swan pendant is really beautiful. My name is even engraved on its wings. The crown on the swan’s head is also very pretty and the diamond also sparkles beautifully under the light.”

“Then what is the problem?” V asked confused. Hearing her words, it seems that she was quite satisfied with the present ah.

“I’m troubled by the person who gave the gift.” Lu Anran replied. “I don’t have any relationship with Young Master Long and has not even exchanged more than a few sentences. Why did he send such an ambiguous gift to me?” Lu Anran frowned. “Somehow it feels like I have poked the hornet’s nest.”
