Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The maid hesitated for a little while, but since Tang Mo’er had behaved well for the past few days and she was the young master’s beloved, the maid handed over her cell phone to Tang Mo’er. “Miss Tang, I’ll lend you my cell phone.”

“Thank you.”

With a few swipes and taps, Tang Mo’er dialed Qi Xi’s phone number.

The ringtone sounded and Qi Xi picked up the phone, “Hello, who is this?”

“Hello, Qi Xi, it’s me.”

“Ah, Mo’er!” Qi Xi shrieked into the phone, “What are you doing now? Why haven’t you contacted me! You just disappeared into thin air! I’ve been so worried since I couldn’t get a hold of you. Gu Mohan and Lu Qi’er are getting engaged tonight!”

Tang Mo’er was stunned.

What?

“Mo’er, the internet is covering the marriage between the Gu’s and Lu’s. The engagement tonight has an impressive guest list, all the wealthiest and most influential members of high society will be present and I’m not exaggerating when I saw this will be the greatest event in Karghalik to date. Gu Mohan’s father, Gu Tianling and Lu Qi’er’s father, Lu Jinwen will both appear at the same time in Karghalik. Give me a second, I’ll send you the details.”

Ding. Within moments, she received Qi Xi’s video.

Tang Mo’er used her fingertips to click open the video, it was the headline news of both the financial and entertainment news. The host excitedly reported—-

“According to our sources, the Capital’s wealthiest businessman, Gu Mohan is going to hold an engagement ceremony with the beloved daughter of the Lu family, Lu Qi’er. This luxurious engagement ceremony is the first stage of the long-awaited marriage between the Gu’s and Lu’s. Not only does Gu Mohan have a prestigious family background, he has also maintained a lifestyle free from any sort of scandal all these years and has taken the hearts of many socialites and eligible women to date. Lu Qi’er, the future Mrs Gu, has definitely invited a lot of envy from many women—-”

The camera spun around to focus on the sparkling marble floors. Gu Mohan wore a custom-made pinstriped suit and strode over with the confidence and charisma of a God on earth. Dressed sophisticatedly in a crisp suit, his short hair was styled upwards, revealing his perfect forehead and handsome face. The aura he exuded was one of refined elegance and a cold arrogance.

He was followed by a large number of crew, like a king with his faithful entourage at his heels, ready to do his bidding. The rays of the sun passed through the tall windows and fell on his face, highlighting his features in a soft golden glow.

The reporters charged in front and surrounded him. “President Gu, will you please reveal more details about the marriage between the Gu’s and the Lu’s?”

“After the engagement, will you and Miss Lu Qi’er be getting married soon after?”

“No further comments.”

The bodyguards dressed in black blocked off the reporters behind the line as Yan Dong stepped forward to respond on behalf of Gu Mohan. As Gu Mohan got on the luxurious business car, he had no expression.

The entire time, he did not spare even a glance at the cameras.

“Mo’er, are you still there? What on earth happened between you and Gu Mohan? Why did he suddenly get engaged to Lu Qi’er? Hello, Mo’er? Are you still there? Helloー”

Tang Mo’er had hung up the phone on the other end.

Seeing Tang Mo’er’s strange expression, the maid seemed to realize that there was something amiss. “Miss Tang...”

In mere seconds, Tang Mo’er’s tiny face drained of all color and went pale, as pale as a sheet of white paper. Her beautiful eyes went blank and emotionless, all she could hear was a voice telling her about Gu Mohan and Lu Qi’er’s engagement, and then a million different voices telling her the same thing.

But, it wasn’t supposed to happen like that.

How would this be?

Only yesterday, he had gifted her with a diamond ring, he had confessed his love to her and proposed. She... she had only just agreed to his proposal...

How?

No...

Something wasn’t right. Drawing on her memory, she recalled that he gave her a diamond ring, but he didn’t kneel down or even mention anything about a proposal.

The proposal was mentioned by her, and the thing about being a fiancé was also mentioned by her. Gu Mohan... he hadn’t said a thing. She had said it all herself.

He had given her half of a proposal.

But she had imagined the other half by her own.

“Ha, haha.” Letting out a coarse laugh, it felt rough and sarcastic, even to her own ears. Looking up out of habit, she couldn’t stop the caustic laugh that erupted out from her lips. All she could feel was the wetness of her cheeks, as hot tears fell from her eyes.

With her fingertips trembling, she dialed a familiar number, the melodious ringtone sounded once before the phone call was picked up.

“Hello.”
