Chapter 504: Miss Ning is Hard to Catch Up With

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The man’s deep and languid voice rang out in the quiet banquet hall, instantly shocking everyone!

At that moment, everyone looked at him in disbelief.

What did Lu Huaiyu just say?!

His girlfriend?!

Ning Li… was his girlfriend?!

This sentence was like throwing a huge rock on the calm surface of the lake, causing huge waves!

Countless people’s eyes kept wandering back and forth between Ning Li and Lu Huaiyu, finally landing on their joined hands.

Ever since Lu Huaiyu had come in and put the watch on Ning Li, he had not let go of her hand.

Previously, people had thought that he was merely interested in Ning Li, but who knew…

Girlfriend?!

Sheng Yan and the others were all dumbfounded.

His mind went blank for a moment before he quickly remembered what he had said to Lu Huaiyu, which made his eyelids twitch.

What the hell had he said?!

He had only thought that Second Master Lu had impulsively developed an interest in Miss Ning, but in actuality, she was actually his girlfriend?!

Sheng Yan almost wanted to die.

With great difficulty, he said, “Lu… Second Master Lu… Miss Ning is… is your… girlfriend?”

He stumbled over this short question.

Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows and answered with a smile.

“Of course, my woman is the most beautiful.”

Sheng Yan’s brain felt like it was about to explode.

He had asked Lu Huaiyu directly if he was interested in Ning Li…

However, she was a serious girlfriend! She was his favorite!

The people around him did not react much better.

The impact of this news was too great.

Who would have thought that Second Master Lu, who had always behaved in a cool and ascetic manner, actually had a girlfriend?

Then, a thought seemed to come to Lu Huaiyu’s mind. He tilted his head slightly, looked at one of them, and said with a smile, “What you said just now was accurate. Our Ah Li did indeed do exceptionally well in the college entrance examination.”

We, our, Ah Li.

Just these few words were enough to explain everything.

The staff member who was being praised did not know how to react for a moment. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

At the moment, he was secretly glad that he had praised Ning Li just now and not said anything else!

Sheng Yan finally found his reason and forced himself to adjust his state of mind as quickly as possible. He laughed dryly.

“… So, it turns out that Second Master Lu’s trip to Hong Kong City was to bid for this watch and give it to Miss Ning. Second Master Lu is truly devoted to Miss Ning…”

Lu Huaiyu’s thin lips curved slightly. He nodded casually and smiled.

“Yes, Ah Li likes to look at the stars.”

Sheng Yan, “…”

Everyone, “…”

The watch was also known as– The Night of the Milky Way.

His thoughts were crystal clear.

After the shock, everyone present had complicated expressions on their faces.

Those who still harbored some hopes over Lu Huaiyu did not know what to say, now that they had seen this scene.

It was because Ning Li liked to look at the stars that he had specially come to Hong Kong City to bid for this watch and present her with the Night of the Milky Way.

At the same time, he had also given her the starry lollipop.

If she wanted to eat it, he would give it to her. If she did not eat it, he would carry it around with him.

He had given her a priceless collector’s item, as well as a sweet candy.

What was this…? How much did he like her that he was willing to do this?

In the crowd, someone muttered under his breath.

“So… did Second Master Lu target Zhong Haoqi in that way because he had offended Ning Li?”

This voice immediately woke many people up, and they were all shocked.

That’s right!

In the afternoon’s auction, Lu Huaiyu had bid 100 million twice just to ensure that he had an unpleasant experience.

Many people had wondered in what way Zhong Haoqi had offended him.

Now it seemed… all of it had been was for Ning Li?

At that time, Zhong Haoqi wanted to use his money to suppress Ning Li and force her to sell Qingfeng to him.

Therefore, the first thing Lu Huaiyu had done after his arrival in Hong Kong City was to double back on Zhong Haoqi with even more forceful means.

In terms of money, the Lu family naturally was much better off than the Zhong family.

“But didn’t Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu already stand up for Ning Li at that time… ?”

Someone murmured softly, but he did not finish his words.

Even though these two had already supported Ning Li, Lu Huaiyu had still felt that it was not enough.

The Second Master of the Lu family in the Capital City was arrogant, aloof, and noble. He had always been extremely picky and difficult to serve.

He had also always been tough and unyielding in the business world.

Now, it was the same for his girlfriend.

What he had wanted was to completely humiliate Zhong Haoqi in public!

Yan Zhen held her handbag tightly. She felt depressed when she heard people mention Zhong Haoqi again. However, she still felt a burst of pleasure when she saw Yan Fei’s pale face.

She sneered.

“I see. This whole time, Second Master Lu had been doing this for his girlfriend… I really don’t know how some people had no shame and took themselves so seriously.”

Many people overheard what she said. Who didn’t know that she was mocking Yan Fei? Then, all of them looked at Yan Fei with various expressions.

“Second Master Lu was in a hurry to give his girlfriend a gift, but there was someone who was so blind that she wanted to block the way.” Yan Zhen ridiculed even further, “I’m afraid that Second Master Lu doesn’t even know your name, right? !”

Yan Fei gritted her teeth and her shoulders trembled slightly.

She had impulsively taken the initiative to take that step just now, but who would have known that she would become the laughing stock of everyone in the blink of an eye!

In fact… several people had even encouraged her in front of Ning Li earlier.

Now that she thought about it, in Ning Li’s eyes, were they not any different from clowns?

Clearly, she had deliberately allowed them to make fools of themselves!

She could not help but glance at Ning Li.

How proud was she, knowing that Lu Huaiyu was in love with her?

Thinking of this, she forced a smile.

“So, Miss Ning Li is Second Master Lu’s girlfriend… Miss Ning is truly enviable to have Second Master Lu like her so much.”

Ning Li raised her eyebrows slightly.

These words…

“There’s no need to be envious.

Lu Huaiyu suddenly laughed.

“You don’t know how hard it was to chase after Miss Ning.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he said with a slow smile, “I definitely faced a hard time trying to catch up to her.”
