232 The One and Only Ring (1/2)

Gu Mohan's magnetic voice resonated through the phone.

At this moment, Tang Mo'er fell onto the floor, hugging both her knees as she collapsed on the soft woolen carpet. The bright lights from outside the window reflected onto her pale face, which was covered in tears. Wiping away her tears, she gave a bitter smile that he couldn't see. ”Mr Gu, where are you now?”

Gu Mohan lowered his voice and said in a gentler tone, ”I'm a little busy today. You'd better eat your meals and rest well, okay?”

”Oh, then are you coming home tonight?”

Gu Mohan was silent for a few seconds before answering, ”Why? Do you miss me? I need to work overtime tonight. I'll accompany you tomorrow, hm?”

Oh, I suppose that means you're not coming home tonight.

Of course. It was Lu Qi'er and his wedding engagement celebration that night. Considering the guest list Qi Xi seemed to be raving about, there must be an exclusive engagement banquet.

Tang Mo'er stretched out her hands with the diamond ring etched on her creamy skin. ”Sure, okay. I'll let you go then. I'm tired, I'll sleep first.”

She hung up immediately after speaking.

At this moment, the maid walked over and asked hesitantly, ”Miss Tang, are you finished with the call?”

”Yes, thank you.” Tang Mo'er passed the cell phone back to the maid.

The maid left the room and closed the door. Tang Mo'er sat alone, hugging her knees in a child-like manner as she rocked back and forth. As she buried her face into her arms, her arms starting to tremble, silent sobs wracking through her body as her heart throbbed in pain. There was a silent and desperate cry in the empty room.

…

At the engagement banquet.
