Chapter 391: You’re Worth It
The sapphire and pure silver shone brightly. As Mo Rao looked at them, she didn’t dare to accept them.
She didn’t understand why Gu Ci was doing this. If he gave her a gift in front of so many people, wouldn’t many people suspect their relationship?
Gu Ci seemed to have seen through Mo Rao’s thoughts and added, “Miss Mo was my good friend when she was overseas and helped me a lot. It’s just that she never knew that I was Mr. K. This is my return gift to her.”
Although Gu Ci explained this, many people still didn’t believe that Gu Ci and Mo Rao were just friends.
Amidst the discussion, Fu Ying stood in the corner and watched all of this with a cold expression.
Was Gu Ci trying to snatch Mo Rao from him? Was that why he returned to the country this time? He actually used a banquet to make people link him and Mo Rao together?
Fu Ying clenched his fists while feeling that he had encountered a formidable opponent.
Mo Rao could feel Fu Ying’s sharp gaze. If not for the fact that everyone was watching, Mo Rao felt that Fu Ying would have rushed over and snatched this set of jewelry away, not letting Mo Rao accept it.
“Mo Rao, accept it. Treat it as a gift from me,” Gu Ci said as he looked at Mo Rao.
“That’s right. Mo Rao, just accept it.”
“Only a fool would refuse!”
“Don’t let Mr. K down…”
…
The people at the side hurriedly advised her—after all, this was a treasure that others couldn’t obtain even if they spent hundreds of millions!
Mo Rao didn’t want Gu Ci to be too embarrassed, so she could only bite the bullet and accept Gu Ci’s kindness. She accepted the set of jewelry and said, “Thank you. I-I’m really too surprised…”
Faced with Mo Rao’s gratitude, Gu Ci only smiled and said, “You’re worth it.”
The protagonist of this banquet wasn’t only Mr. K, but also Mo Rao.
Mo Rao could already imagine the next day’s trending topic.
As expected, before the banquet even ended, someone had already spread this matter on Weibo. Mo Rao quickly became the topic of discussion.
“Oh my god, Mo Rao is so popular with men! I’ve decided to treat Mo Rao as a goddess. This way, I might be able to rub off on her luck!”
“Mo Rao is really popular! Mr. K is so good to Mo Rao! I think Fu Ying is history by now.”
“Uh… Am I the only one who thinks Mo Rao is sort of a b*tch? She’s involved with her ex-husband, but also has an ambiguous relationship with another man.”
…
Mo Yuan was the happiest about this matter.
Before Mo Rao even left Gu Ci’s villa, she received a call from Mo Yuan.
“Rao Rao! Mr. K is actually Gu Ci?!” Mo Yuan’s excited voice came from the phone. “That’s great. You don’t have to worry about your fashion resources in the future.”
Mo Rao said, “Don’t rejoice too early. Go deal with the press first. Otherwise, I’ll be linked to another man.”
“What’s wrong with that?!” Mo Yuan seemed to feel that regarding this matter, the bigger, the better. “Gu Ci is not bad. You can consider him. He’s much better than Fu Ying.”
He mentioned Fu Ying again.
Sometimes, Mo Rao felt that Mo Yuan was so desperate for her to get rid of Fu Ying that he accepted every man who pursued her.
They didn’t know Gu Ci well at all, so Mo Rao couldn’t figure out what kind of person he was. She only felt that he was sometimes cold and sometimes friendly. Now that he suddenly gave her a big gift in front of so many people, she didn’t understand what Gu Ci wanted to do.
Was it because Gu Ci liked her?
But when she was overseas, Mo Rao didn’t feel that Gu Ci liked her.
Mo Rao’s mind was a mess and the jewelry box in her hand was like a hot potato.
“Don’t worry about the press. I’ll handle it.” Since Mo Rao didn’t speak, Mo Yuan comforted her. “As for Gu Ci… spend more time with him first.”
Mo Rao looked at Gu Ci, who was exchanging pleasantries with guests not far away. He was wearing a formal suit and had a distant yet polite smile on his face.
If it were any other woman, she would have fallen for him, wouldn’t she?
However, ever since she separated from Fu Ying, Mo Rao seemed to have lost her ability to fall in love.
“Mo Rao, you’re really lucky.” At this moment, Lin Xia suddenly appeared in front of Mo Rao and looked at her jealously.
