Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage

Chapter 253: Chapter 254: A Cloud of Mystery Translator: 549690339 |

The host’s face changed.

He felt there was something odd about the situation.

But since Mo YinFeng had stepped forward, there likely wasn’t any suspicion from the higher-ups.

The fact was that before the Heart of the Kingdom had been auctioned, this gemstone necklace belonged to the MoShi Group.

And MoShi was the host of this exhibition, so essentially the top boss.

If the ultimate boss declared this was a misunderstanding, then it was indeed a misunderstanding.

The host quickly composed himself, and passed the Heart of the Kingdom to Gu Qichen with appeasement, “Turns out it was a misunderstanding. We deeply apologize to Mrs. Gu, and now the gem is back to its rightful owner. Mr. Gu, please put it on for Mrs. Gu personally.”

Gu Qichen took the necklace.

He walked in Xia Yangyang’s direction step by step.

Xia Yangyang was bewildered.

She had absolutely no idea what was going on.

Could it be that Gu Qichen bought this necklace specifically for her?

But it didn’t feel like something Gu Qichen would do at all.

There seemed to be a tangled knot in her mind, yet she couldn’t unravel it.

Under everyone’s gaze, Gu Qichen walked in Xia Yangyang’s direction.

With the necklace in his hand, he walked to her back.

And then, he put the necklace on her and said, “My dear, I’m sorry. I was planning to surprise you. I didn’t expect it would cause you such a misunderstanding – my bad.”

The gentleness in Gu Qjchen’s voice caused jealousy to itch in the hearts of all the socialites present.

What made this woman worthy of Mr. Gu’s affection like this?

In that moment, Xia Yangyang was also touched.

She lowered her head, looked at the ruby necklace around her neck, her eyes turned red and she said, “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

Someone in the crowd yelled out, “Kiss her, kiss her!”

Then almost everyone started chiming in.

The chants for a kiss echoed back and forth.

Gu Qichen tucked up a slight smile, cradled Xia Yangyang’s face with his hand, and leaned in for a deep kiss…

Shen Manbing saw all of this, her fingers clenched, and she finally turned around and left.

For the rest of the time, Xia Yangyang endured everyone’s envy and compliments.

She went from being a thief deserving of a severe punishment to the most envied woman on the planet in an instant.

But Xia Yangyang didn’t see Shen Manbing anywhere.

When she left the exhibition hall, it was already ten o’clock.

Xia Yangyang had many questions but didn’t know where to start.

Just as they were about to get into the car, Shen Manbing suddenly appeared.

Her car was parked next to Gu Qichen’s.

Shen Manbing approached, shot Xia Yangyang a look of disgust as well as the ruby necklace around her neck.

Then, she said to Gu Qichen in a calm voice, “Ah Chen, I need to talk to you.”

Gu Qichen replied, “Just go ahead.”

Shen Manbing said, “Even if we’re not lovers, are we not allowed to talk privately? Gu Qichen, the more cautious you are, the more it shows you two lack basic trust.”

Xia Yangyang said, “Go, I’ll wait for you in the car.”

Gu Qichen left with Shen Manbing.

But Xia Yangyang got out of the car and followed them as soon as they turned around.

Actually, Xia Yangyang still felt something was off about the events of that night.

She knew it was not right to eavesdrop, yet she was strangely compelled to follow them.

Shen Manbing and Gu Qichen stopped in a garden outside the exhibition hall.

There was a decorative rockery in the garden.

For the sake of moving silently, Xia Yangyang took off her high heels.

She walked barefoot on the stones until she arrived behind the rockery.

She then clearly heard Shen Manbing’s voice coming from the other side, “What’s the deal with the necklace?”
