Chapter 161 Love Token
After primly seating herself next to the most honorable firstdy of thend, Ang listened to her chat
with Nicole silently. After some time, never mind how long exactly, the firstdy turned to Ang and
said, "I heard a rumor that you were recently given a South Sea Pearl, the world''s most famous one,
and I had to ask, really?"
Her words drew the attention of innumerable people; now all eyes were on Ang, waiting to hear what
she would say in return.
"Is the pearl in her hand?"
"It''s nothing extraordinary, after all she is the heir to Chengyang Hospital!"
"But I heard that the South Sea Pearl had been acquired by a very powerful figure in J city."
......
The baby fist-sized South Sea white buttercup pearl, whether in C country or in the Shine Empire, or in
A country, had been the hottest topic ofte.
Ang, after a spell, nodded with honesty in her look. She really did not expect the president''s wife to
know this information, much less to ask her outright about it.
The president''s wife nodded and said nothing more.
Instead, ady beside her, who had observed Ang for the longest time, now spoke, and asked the
question which had been on the lips of all the people who knew about the South Sea Pearl. "Does
Ang have a mind to sell the pearl at some stage? Money is not the obstacle......"
''Money? Why did you talk to her about money?'' Jughed sarcastically while eating sunflower
seeds.
Ang was also a straightforward person, not some hypocritical bozo who''s used to beating around
the bush; immediately, she responded to her. "I''m sorry, this pearl was given to me by someone who is
very important to me. I like it so much that I will never sell it."
How could she give it to someone else? It is a gift from Arvin.
The fairdy did not expect Ang to reject her offer, her face colored a little out of embarrassment.
She forced herself to say, "Mr. President''s wife seems to like it too... "Can Miss Ang give it up?"
The president''s wife looked at thedy reproachfully. "Well, Miss Ang has said that she likes it very
much, and that means we can''t impose..."
A look of reproach, but a tone of conciliation.

How could Ang not see the situation between them? As she indifferently put a piece of Plum Meat
into her mouth, slowly chewing it down into her stomach, she responded, "Well...... Surely our Lady is
sensible, unlike you. I''ve said that I will never part with the pearl, but yet you still asked me to. I know
you have no vicious meanings, at least none that I know of, still, some people would think you are
intentionally here to dimode me!"
"How do I dare to do that?" Thedy was red in the face when she was told this by Ang, who was
also the precious princess of the Si family. She could only hold her discontent in her heart while the
mes rasped against her every fiber.
Nicole''s eyes swept over several people before looking at Ang with a cautionary smile. "Ang, Ms.
Duan was just asking. She didn''t mean anything else, I assure you. The South Sea pearl has been
given to you by a man of great prestige, no doubt. It''s yours, and no one can take it away from you!"
Nicole sounded her words out slowly to be understood perfectly by Ang. The fairdy''s meaning had
to be elucidated clearly to Ang so that she could understand, but her words also served to protect
Ang. The meaning of her words directly and indirectly dered what''s hers was hers, nobody could
take it away!
J spit out a sunflower seed skin, then said to Ang, "Ang, your boyfriend really loves you!
Taking a South Sea pearl valued a few billion dors...as a love token! You must cherish it with all your
heart!"
Love token? People who heard these two words grumbled enviously to themselves, and the one
recurrent thought among them was, ''Who gave her the pearl? Is a token worth billions?"
Money was not the point, the point was that in the contest involved ten thousand men, it ended up in
his hands.
So, this showed that this person was not only rich, but also... Powerful!
Some people jealously said, "Miss Ang, was this South Sea pearl sent to you by Dr. Si, or by your
boyfriend? Can you confirm for everybody?"
"Yeah, we''re all curious about this!" "Who is Miss Ang''s boyfriend?" There were a small number of
distinguished fellows in C Country who had the capability to earn enough money to give such a thing
away as a love token.
"In C Country, rich and powerful families include only Harry''s, Chuck''s, Eason''s and Samuel''s families,
the princes in Harry''s and Eason''s families have been married. So does hee from Samuel''s
family?" Scott''s name came to their mind.
Scott was studying for a master''s degree in the United States. Such a student was dependent on the
family money. So perhaps he wasn''t the likely candidate to go around sshing cash on a pearl. If that
was the case, Ang was the apple of someone else''s eye.
......
More and more were talking about such outrageous things. Scott was innocent of any involvement at
all. As the owner of the city of Rose, J patted off the crumbs from herp, "Why do you women
have so many opinions and judgments? This is only a pearl! Ang''s boyfriend gave it to her out of
love; is that so very abnormal?"
After J said these words, nine out of ten of the women in vapid but animated discussion shut their
mouthspletely. At the expense of Ang''s sense of privacy, a person at the bottom of the table, a
lubber, continued to ask anyway, "Who is Ang''s boyfriend, say it out loud and let everybody know!"
When one man dared to speak, many followed him. "Well...... We are all curious and envious!" "Please,
Miss Ang, satisfy our curiosity and speak your truth!"
If Ang didn''t speak out, there would be a new topic for discussion on the table, namely a "Hat but no
cattle" discussion, about the mysterious but non-existent boyfriend she kept mentioning, the
authenticity of his existence would be brought into question. Did she dare make up such a scandalous
story in the presence of the firstdy of thend?
Ang really regretteding to this women-only banquet. She gave a sideways nce at the
President''s wife seated in the chair of honor. The firstdy smiled with grace all the time, and
whispered to the people sitting closest to her, as if she didn''t care about what was going on on the
other side of the table.
When Nicole was about to speak, there were exmations and screams, one by one,ing from the
door.
The noise was so loud that people could not help looking toward the door.
"Who is he? What a handsome man! But look, how familiar!"
"Such a handsome man, I certainly know, he is Arvin, the Shine Empire''s most brilliant doctor!"
"My god, how could he be so handsome!" "Oh!" "My heart is going to jump out of my chest!"
"He must havee to look for someone he knows, oh but who?" "Who is he looking for?" "Me?"
......
Hundreds of women like these, secluded from any sort of true sense of love from their bitter husbands,
immediately made way for the man in a suit. Ang, drinking a Long Ind Ice tea, suddenly choked.
Out of emotion for this stunning man, it was assumed.
After intense coughing, her face became red...
She rubbed her eyes in disbelief. It was hard to imagine that the man who was supposed to be in J City
at that exact moment, had just appeared suddenly before her eyes.
Arvin, with two aides, finally stood at the firstdy''s round table.
He stared at the women in front of him one by one and then said politely, "I''m so frightfully sorry to
bother youdies, and please excuse the intrusion, Mrs. President, I''m here to find someone I know."
She knew Arvin, because of a trip to the Shine Empire for an interview. She had had a sudden illness,
and Arvin was the one who gave her the treatment she needed to live a full and beautiful life.
Arvin had a face that was so handsome, too handsome to forget easily.
The President''s wife, who was a middle-aged woman, almost indulged in the man''s handsomeness
before she snapped out of it when someone whispered to her. She said to Arvin with a smile. "Dr. Gu!
You''re so polite, but how would I know who you''re looking for. Is it somedy here?"
