After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88: Chapter 88 The Continuous Face-Slapping Begins (3)

[Great Hall]

Lu Sheng heard a cool voice calling her from not far away and looked up to see Gu Zhi approaching her.

Gu Zhi first glanced at her, then at Li Muchen in front of her, seemingly taking a deep breath.

"...Ellison brother?" Lu Sheng raised her head, "How come you’re here, are you looking for me?"

"A friend gave me a ticket to the piano competition, so I drove over, and it happens that I also have something I want to give you."

The man beside the girl emits a strong presence, radiating the pressure of a superior as he looks at Gu Zhi with a deep and scrutinizing gaze.

However, Gu Zhi’s gaze didn’t linger too much on him and remained on the girl: "Can I have a talk with you?"

"Sure," Lu Sheng turned to Li Muchen and said, "Then you go into the venue first, I’ll come to find you in a bit."

The moment their eyes met, the man’s cold expression suddenly softened, responding in a low voice: "Okay."

After Li Muchen left, Gu Zhi took out a small black velvet gift box from his trouser pocket and handed it to Lu Sheng: "...This is for you."

"For me?... What’s this?" Lu Sheng took the box and opened it, discovering inside was an exquisitely crafted chest pin.

Beneath the vivid, nearly dripping natural rose, hung three tassel fine chains of rose gold of varying lengths.

On the fine chains hung several round small pearls, among them, the longest one was crowned with a Baroque Pearl at the end, vintage yet elegant.

Gu Zhi stared straight at Lu Sheng, from the moment she opened the small gift box, he was secretly observing her reaction.

Lu Sheng’s eyes flickered slightly.

Not because of the chest pin. But because she didn’t expect that after only meeting once, Gu Zhi had somehow realized something and wanted to use this pin to test her.

This chest pin was designed by Gu Zhi for her once upon a time.

[Romance hidden within the rose, pin it close to my heart. With every heartbeat, I’ll think of you.]

She had seen Gu Zhi wearing this chest pin before.

"...This is a chest pin?" The girl’s clear eyes brightened, undisguised surprise in her eyes, she exclaimed, "It’s so beautiful."

The girl clearly saw the chest pin for the first time.

Seeing Lu Sheng’s reaction, Gu Zhi’s eyes dimmed a bit. It seemed he was originally expecting some kind of answer, but the anticipation had dissipated in a flash.

After all, what was he thinking?

His sister indeed had left, and there had been no news up to now, but she was not dead. Moreover, his sister was thirty-three this year, and the girl in front of him was only seventeen, they couldn’t possibly be the same person.

Suddenly, Gu Zhi felt that his indescribable intuition was really illogical and even a bit neurotic, so he took a deep breath: "It’s a chest pin."

"I noticed your uniform jacket looked a bit plain. This chest pin very much suits your temperament; wearing it on your chest will greatly enhance your overall look, so I am giving it to you."

"For me?" The girl hesitated for a moment, wanting to refuse, "Thank you for the kind intent, brother, but this pin looks quite expensive, I..."

"Take it," Gu Zhi’s tone was cool, looking at Lu Sheng, "If you don’t mind, I’ll help you put it on now."

Lu Sheng understood Gu Zhi.

After verifying she was not the person he imagined, Gu Zhi would not have any other intentions towards her. His offer to put on the chest pin for her was merely out of professional etiquette and consideration for the overall aesthetic.

So she stood up straight: "Alright then, thank you, brother."

Gu Zhi pinned the rose at the collar of Lu Sheng’s shirt; the longest chain’s pearl was pinned to the right, eight centimeters away from and slightly lower than the rose. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
