Inside, Gu Mang turned around and saw Lu Chengzhou with one hand in his pocket. He pointed his chin to the door. “Who gave it to you?”
“Nobody,” she said casually.
He annoyed her and sent something to her door.
Lu Chengzhou smiled lightly and asked in a deep voice, “Are chocolates or flowers better?”
His eyes were very black and in this languidness there was some seriousness.
“Chocolate.” Without even thinking about the question, she walked towards the bedroom with droopy eyelids. She walked past him and added, “You can’t eat flowers.”
Lu Chengzhou was speechless. He didn’t know how to describe his present emotions. It was just like a roller-coaster. He stared at the girl’s slender and tall back profile. He chuckled softly.
…
The courier left Seal Palace looking confused, staring at the flowers and gifts in his hand.
He thought for a moment, took out his phone, and dialed the first number in the call record.
“Hello, Mr. Huo.” He said politely. “I just tried to deliver the flowers and the gift and Ms. Gu signed for them but she didn’t take the items and said she was giving them to me.”
He stuttered a little in the last sentence, feeling incredulous.
The other party was silent for a few seconds before speaking, “If she said it’s yours, it’s yours.”
With that said, the call ended.
The courier froze there, looking like he was in a daze at what was in his hand. He blinked his eyes and opened the gift box. Inside was a diamond necklace. The diamond was in the shape of a hexagram. It was lustrous and glistening. It was absolutely impossible for anyone who could live in Seal Palace to deal with fake items.
Because he had never imagined he would get rich overnight, the courier was left in a daze for some time.
…
Gu Mang had just sat on the bed when the cell phone rang. She picked it up.
“If it’s about you, it’s my concern.”
Gu Mang’s eyes narrowed upon seeing those words. Was that to mean that he would continue interfering in her private life?
Her eyes were chilly. She typed slowly, “Are you so idle? I’ll find you something to do.”
She got up, walked languidly to the table, sat down on the chair, and turned on the computer.
Her ten fingers typed dazzlingly on the keyboard as complex codes appeared line by line on the screen. The green light shone onto her pretty face. She cocked her head with a languid expression.
After twenty minutes, Gu Mang’s phone rang again. It was a call. When she answered it, neither of them said anything.
After a long while, the other party started talking. She was almost gritting her teeth as she said, “Little Sister Gu, you just intercepted something that cost tens of billions and gave it to Lu Chengzhou for free?”
F*ck! That’s tens of billions, not a few million!
Was Shadow League not deserving of it?!
Gu Mang didn’t reply. She continued to type and the noise of the keyboard reached Lin Shuang.
“What are you still doing? Intercepting the goods is not enough? You’re planning to destroy the other party’s nest?” Lin Shuang sat in front of the computer, watching the dense red and green dots on the computer screen.
Both sides watched intensely.
Suddenly, a bunch of blue points appeared on the map.
Just then, the typing noises stopped. Gu Mang piped up and sneered, “Do you really think I’m someone you can mess with?”
The gifts were delivered to Seal Palace. What was he trying to say? That he knew her location? Lin Shuang was speechless.
Big boss! Who would dare to think that you’re someone to be messed with?! It was tens of billions and the virus was infecting the internal data.
Interpol had been called.
Just what did these people do to offend the big boss?
The message symbol appeared at the bottom right hand corner of the screen, followed by a line of words.
“Stop it, Gu Mang, that’s enough.”
Gu Mang’s phoenix eyes were wild and prideful. She leaned back in her chair, her legs resting on the table as she said slowly and lightly, “Do you still have nothing better to do?”
