Reborn: The Lion To Hunt The Wolf - Chapter 190

Yang Zhen shook his head, not giving her an ounce of the face. He had seen many tricks over the years of women trying to get closer to his boss, but he had never seen a woman who didn’t blush or stammer before his boss.

‘She is really professional!’

“Next time I will remember that, I just thought it was better to hand it to you personally,” Mei Ling smirked inside as her objective was done. Inside her palm, she was grasping something tightly.

She turned around, but not before peeking at Assistant Yang with a sneer. He was currently holding a file named ‘Empire project’.

Yue Xiang rolled down the window and snapped his fingers. “Keep an eye.”

Yang Zhen nodded his head in understanding.

—-The Next Day—–

Yue Wan agreed to meet Madam Shen at WAX Pearl Complex and asked Dong Yi to drive her there.

When Yue Wan reached the front of the complex, Mrs. Shen was already there, waiting for her.

Madam Shen had a sweet smile on her face. “Little Wan, you’re here!”

Yue Wan matched her smile and replied with apologetic face, “Aunt Shen, sorry to make you wait!”

Madam Shen looked at her with such kindness and a broad smile, playing the perfect role of a calm and loving mother. “I’ve only just arrived as well, and I just realized that I never brought you anything special after you took care of those naughty brats of mine.”

“It’s okay Aunt Shen. Are the Twins not here?” Yue Wan asked, looking around. She was debating on how to make the twin keep distance from, but seeing them not around made her feel sad.

Madam Shen’s lips rose with a smug smile as she patted Yue Wan’s hand. “They went to attend the Teenage International Quiz Competition in France. That’s why I planned this surprise outing.”

Inside she sneered to herself: ‘Now I can have Little WanWan all to myself. No brats of mine will disturb us today!’

Madam Shen nudged her with a sneaky smile, “I hear from my honey that Master Yue has been really busy finding you a fiancé. Is it true?”

Yue Wan looked at Madam Shen flustered and stuttered in embarrassment by waving her hand: “No…No! Aunt Shen! that…”

‘Baka Daddy! Are you planning to let the whole world know!?’

Quickly Yue Wan changed the subject and asked: “By the way, I heard that Xiao’s new shop Zircon is quite popular. Let’s go check it out.”

“But before that,” Madam Shen grabbed Yue Wan close and took an intimate selfie of the two of them, their faces touching each other.

Grinning like a Cheshire cat, Madam Shen held her phone and her body trembling in happiness. ‘Those dumb dogs will be crying on the floor after seeing my Instagram post!’

‘Huh!’ Yue Wan tilted her head with a dumbfounded expression.  Why do I feel that I will suffer later?!

….

After some time.

“I’m lost!” Yue Wan sighed.

“Haha! Zircon is the world’s leading brand for jewelry created by the Xiao Corporation. The diamonds here are all imported and oh so beautiful. It’s only natural for you to be at a loss of which one to choose. Why don’t I help you pick one?” Madam Shen suggested.

Hearing her words, Yue Wan’s face beamed with happiness. “Aunt Shen! You’re the best.”

However, she regretted saying as Aunt Shen made her wear every piece of diamond jewelry that the store hand and took hundreds of photos.

Soon, Madam Shen was also troubled trying to select the perfect piece. With Yue Wan’s peerless skin, everything fits her perfectly.

The shop ȧssistant suddenly had a suggestion after looking at their confusion.

“Madam, may I know what you’re looking for? Is it for yourself or for someone else? I can give you some opinions as a reference.?”

Yue Wan said touching her ear: “Earrings for me, please.”

“Of course. Please call me Sis Feng.”

“Earrings are among the world’s most beautiful forms of jewelry. In Zircon, we have numerous expensive and luxurious pairs of earrings that are designed for many royal muses.”

She opened the box: “These are the world’s most expensive earrings which were designed quite recently. Take a look at it.”

Within moments, Yue Wan picked a superb pair of pear-shaped Artemis Pink earrings. The fancy intensely pink diamond was graded at the center while a silver-white tail with beads of diamonds extended from the ear to the auricle. It was unique and spectacular.

The saleswoman name Sis Feng smiled in satisfaction:

“This is the most chemically pure type of diamond drop earrings. They are currently worth $5 million as the occurrence of pink diamonds are very rare. This particular set has a brother pair with the rare purple diamond.”

Yue Wan looked up with astonishment: “Purple Diamond!?”

Sis Feng opened another big crystal box and carefully laid it before Yue Wan wearing gloves: “It just arrived from the States. The 14.54 carat, pear-shaped Apollo Purple was the big prize of the pair. It is estimated at $50 million with an additional $29 million for the matching necklace. It was named as First Love. It’s nor for sale as it was pre-booked by someone else.”

Madam Shen was incensed: “That much! Who bought this?”

Sis Feng laid the earrings carefully into a glass case and locked it.

“Sorry Ma’am, we can’t reveal our buyer information, however, I heard that it was for his wife.”

Yue Wan’s eyes lingered over the purple earrings with an urge to snatch it. The shop employee said with a smile: “You can try the pink one, Miss.”

However, Yue Wan looked away painstakingly and shifted her eyes from a pair of purple earrings to her hand and frowned her brows.

Needless to say, Madam Shen could tell that she was actually looking at the pair of earrings with no heart part apart. “Little Wan, that piece was picked by someone else, so we can fight for it with money.”

Touching the pink diamond, Yue Wan’s face was downcast in disappointment.

What she didn’t know was a man was looking at her expression through a camera with profound happiness: “Little Liar! You do miss me a lot.”

Looking at her slightly squinting eyes as gorgeous as luxuriant foliage, as her eyes gradually blossomed when it passes the purple diamond.

Without words, he could read her eyes.

“I miss you too, my wild cub!” He saw longingness extending from her eyes. He stretched out his hand and touched her lips on the screen.

Right at the moment, a voice exploded inside the screen.
