Chapter 256 - Everyone Has A Past (2)
Rong Yan put down his spoon, wiped his mouth with a napkin and slowly left the dining hall.
The servants slit the package open with a knife and handed it to Rong Yan.
There was a dark blue velvet box in the package which puzzled Rong Yan. He grazed his fingers across the box and opened it.
At the next second, he squinted and an icy cold gaze formed in his eyes.
It was a necklace that was embellished with rare pink diamonds from South Africa. The exquisite chain and extravagant daisy pendant shimmered beneath the dazzling light.
Laurent was clearly not the sender of the package!
That was the first thing that came to Rong Yan’s mind.
The necklace had a special and poetic name called ‘Bring Peace To My Life’.
The minimum bid for it in the original French auction was 10 million U.S. dollars and it was later auctioned off to a mysterious man for 73 million U.S. dollars.
Yet, the same necklace was now in his hands, and was a gift for Luo Anning.
All of a sudden, Rong Yan flew into a rage!
Picking up the necklace and shoving it back into the box, Rong Yan suddenly caught sight of a small, square card and picked it up with a sullen expression. “Dear Ann, remember what you promised me.”
Rong Yan was beyond infuriated to see the message!
Dear? Ann? ‘Bring Peace To My Life’?
Rong Yan wished he could kill the sender!
Who is this person and what did Luo Anning promise him?
How are the two of them related and why did he address her as Ann, in such an affectionate manner?
All kinds of questions popped up in Rong Yan’s mind and he suddenly realized that he did not understand her well at all. How much more did he not know about her!?!
Rong Yan threw the velvet box away and turned around coldly to go upstairs. The servants fearfully picked up the box and placed it back onto the coffee table.
Standing by the bed and looking down at Luo Anning, Rong Yan’s frown remained creased tightly and he wondered, was Du Xiaoran the person who sent the necklace?
What did she promise Du Xiaoran?
To rekindle their feelings for each other? Or wait for the right time to divorce me so that she can elope with him?
Rong Yan would never allow either of that to happen!
…
On the following day, Luo Anning opened her eyes, only to be greeted with a shocking sight that made her spring up in terror.
Wasn’t I in Momo’s apartment? When did I return to Luxury Mansion?
Her exaggerated movements alarmed Rong Yan who squinted and asked, “What’s the matter? Are you that unwilling to be back here?”
Luo Anning stared at him in bewilderment while he rubbed his temples and slowly grabbed his suit from the closet. He then removed his pajamas and put the suit on without hesitation.
Luo Anning turned red and looked away. The thought of his attitude towards her made her heart sink to rock bottom.
Noticing that her mobile phone was on the bedside table, she grabbed it and lifted the duvet before getting out of bed.
Rong Yan grabbed her and asked with a frown, “Where are you going!?!”
“You don’t seem to be in any place to care.” Luo Anning glared at him, not planning to let him speak.
“You’re extremely upset to be staying here and you want to do everything to leave, eh?”
Unable to understand why he was acting up early in the morning, Luo Anning said calmly, “Yeah, I don’t want to stay in places where you are present.”
“Where do you want to go then? England? Or would you like to elope with your old flame!?!” he barked coldly.
Luo Anning hollered, “Shut up! We don’t know who the person who wants to elope with his old flame is!”
