The phone rang twice before it was connected, and Gu Ningyi’s uniquely cool voice came through, interwoven with threads of softness, "Xinyan."
Not sure if the shock in her heart had passed yet, Dong Xin Yan listened to his voice, her heart skipped a beat, she swallowed, and then softly spoke, "Mr. Gu, um... I received the things you had Secretary Lin send over."
Gu Ningyi did not respond immediately, Dong Xin Yan heard him say something on the other end, as if pausing some meeting. Dong Xin Yan hadn’t expected he would be in a meeting, hurriedly saying, "Mr. Gu, if you’re in a meeting, I won’t disturb you. I’ll call you later."
Gu Ningyi replied lightly. Then Dong Xin Yan heard the sound of a chair moving, the rustle of clothes, and finally the faint sound of footsteps.
He seemed to have walked to a quieter place before continuing, "The gift, do you like it?"
Of course, she liked it.
Which woman wouldn’t like glamorous jewelry, beautiful clothes, and shoes?
Only, given the relationship between her and Gu Ningyi, how could she accept such an expensive gift from him?
So, even though she was a bit reluctant, she still replied with difficulty, word by word, "I do like it, but it’s too valuable, I can’t accept it. However... if you just want to lend it to me for an evening, I could accept that. I’ll be careful not to damage it."
Gu Ningyi chuckled softly, "It’s already yours, no need to borrow it."
"Xinyan, you gave me a gift, this is a return gift, you can accept it."
Gu Ningyi decisively interrupted Dong Xin Yan, his voice gentle, calm, yet with an undeniable tone.
These four words struck Dong Xin Yan right in the heart, making her momentarily dizzy.
Oh my, is this the privilege of being friends with someone wealthy?
She only gave Gu Ningyi a coat, and he returned with such an extravagantly expensive gift... the price wasn’t even comparable!
Dong Xin Yan was dizzy for a while before she could gather her thoughts and weakly said, "The price of the gift I gave you doesn’t even come close to a fraction of what you gave me...
"In my heart, it’s very precious."
This was the first gift she had given him, and it was also her heartfelt intention. This intention was more precious than anything in the world, something no amount of money could compare to.
Gu Ningyi’s few words left Dong Xin Yan speechless.
She never thought Gu Ningyi would place so much importance on her gift, and yet it was a mistakenly sent gift, really... making her feel flattered and even subtly moved, leaving her slightly embarrassed not to accept his return gift.
But the dress and shoes, she could grit her teeth and accept, however, the Heart of the Ocean, she absolutely could not accept. For more chapters visit novel⦿fire.net
But at this moment, she couldn’t directly refuse, only hoping to find a way to return it after tonight.
Dong Xin Yan lightly bit her lower lip, smiled softly, her voice gentle, "Mr. Gu, thank you, I will perform well tonight and not embarrass you."
"Hmm, I’ll be waiting."
Gu Ningyi’s voice carried a hint of laughter, "In the evening, I’ll come back to pick you up."
Gu Ningyi paused for a moment, his voice tenderly sounded, "Xinyan, stop calling me Mr. Gu, from now on... call me by my name."
