Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 49: Chapter 47: Gifts and Elves

"Hey, Tao Yun, who was that guy wearing the gold glasses just now? He looks so mature; he can't be from our school, right?"

In the brightly lit and colorful private room, a dozen or so young men and women were naturally having a great time, singing, drinking, and playing dice. The group was not too big, yet it couldn't be considered small either.

Despite being just over ten people, they somewhat divided into different cliques, and among them was Tao Yun, the birthday girl of the night, who had the most people gathered around her.

Seeing that Tao Yun occasionally glanced at the handsome youth in the corner, Su Xiaoya, her closest girlfriend, asked with a face full of curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Tao Yun quickly adjusted her mentality, showing a flash of complexity in her eyes before replying nonchalantly:

"He's Chu Xiner's cousin. We've had dinner together before; he's a really nice guy."

Tao Yun did not provide a detailed introduction, but Su Xiaoya, her recent confidante, knew that her friend with a childlike face and a graceful figure was most interested in mature and stable men. With a mischievous smile flashing in her eyes, Su Xiaoya immediately teased:

"I bet it's not that simple. Just now, when you saw that handsome guy, who was it that was jumping up and down, with the corners of her mouth practically reaching her ears!

Let's be honest, are you interested in him? But, he does indeed look very handsome and mature; I'm getting flustered just looking at him!"

Seeing her girlfriend's teasing, Tao Yun helplessly replied with another glance towards the corner:

"Chu Mo is Xin'er's cousin. We've only met once; I don't even know if he has a girlfriend!"

Seeing the wistful look on Tao Yun's face, Su Xiaoya's interest was piqued. With a smile that brought out cute little dimples on her cheeks, Su Xiaoya immediately raised her eyebrows and said:

"That's easy to solve. If you want to know, just boldly ask himself. If you're too shy, I'll ask for you!

Oh, and if you want to know if he's interested in you, just look at the gift he prepared. If he's interested in you, he definitely would have carefully picked out a birthday gift, trying hard to please you. If not, he probably just got you some random gift to get it over with."

Upon hearing this, Tao Yun casually glanced at the small gift box in her hand, a palm-sized, neatly cube-shaped box with some weight to it. However, judging by its size, it was probably something quite small.

"What's the matter, can't bear to open it? Need me to help?"

Seeing her girlfriend Su Xiaoya making a move to snatch it, Tao Yun promptly shielded the little box at her chest. At that moment, the two girls singing on stage just finished their song and, after passing the microphone to a bespectacled youth, walked over as well!

The two girls became curious upon seeing Tao Yun's careful demeanor and immediately asked:

"What's going on? Su Xiaoya, are you bullying our little birthday girl again?"

With a mischievous smile, Su Xiaoya rolled her eyes and replied to the two girls:

"Tao Yun here is all lovesick. She's holding a gift from that handsome guy from just now and doesn't want to open it. I bet it's probably a love token between the two of them."

"Ah! Xiaoya, you're making wild guesses—I'm going to tear your mouth!"

Tao Yun, with eyes widened in indignation and puffed-up cheeks, looked even more like a child throwing a tantrum due to her youthful face.

At this point, the short-haired girl who had just spoken also became curious and said:

"Ah... We didn't see this little girl so nervous about our gifts, but she won't let anyone see the present from the handsome guy? There must be something fishy going on. Girls, prepare the torture!"

Several girls immediately rushed over and started to tease her, forcing Tao Yun to concede breathlessly:

"I surrender, I surrender, alright! I'll show you!"

Once the girls, with smirks on their faces, stopped their playful torment, Tao Yun, with cheeks blushing, gently opened the small box, revealing an old-fashioned solid wood square box. Taking a deep breath, Tao Yun, equally curious, opened the box. Instantly, a dazzling bracelet appeared inside.

The three girls, previously full of teasing, suddenly widened their eyes. After pausing, Su Xiaoya's mouth dropped open in shock and exclaimed:

"It's Tiffany T."

"Oh my gosh, Tao Yun, you're aiming for the stars! The princess square cut diamond bracelet, I've seen this on the internet. it can't be real, can it?"

"Come on, Tao Yun, tell me the truth. Is this a high imitation? The genuine one costs over four hundred thousand, you know!"

Several girls huddled together, chattering nonstop, their eyes filled with complicated emotions. Tao Yun took another deep look at the man in the corner, bit her red lip, and said softly,

"This... I'm not so sure myself, it should be...!"

"Definitely a fake. I saw one just like this online for ninety-nine RMB, with free shipping. Tao Yun, this friend of yours is shady, giving imitations as birthday gifts. It shows the intentions aren't pure."

Taking a deep breath and carefully placing the bracelet back in the gift box, Tao Yun hesitated for a moment, and without planning to explain more to her close friends, firmly opted to remain silent.

At this moment, Tao Yun suddenly noticed two gazes on herself. When she looked up, she saw the roommates Song Xiaoxi and Zhou Yuanyuan looking at her with half-smiles.

Others might not know, but these two were definitely aware that the bracelet in her possession, valued at four hundred fifty thousand, was absolutely genuine!

A guy living in a billion-dollar mansion, whose casual meals cost millions, how could he possibly give fakes as a gift to a friend?

But, isn't this item a little too valuable?

While Tao Yun's face was filled with a dilemma, the always cool Zhou Yuanyuan suddenly curled her lips into a mischievous smile.

Scanning the luxurious young man nearby from the corner of her eye, Zhou Yuanyuan suddenly stood up and walked towards the man in the corner!

"Chu Mo, your gift might keep Tao Yun up all night long!"

Zhou Yuanyuan, with a pair of legs nearly perfect in golden ratio, crossed her arms and her usually distant eyes twinkled with teasing.

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo, adjusting his golden glasses on his nose, chuckled and shook his head casually, saying,

"Originally, I had planned to select a lipstick for Tao Yun, but I got unexpectedly held up with something on the way and couldn't do it all, so I had to ask the butler to prepare a gift for me. Honestly, even now, I don't know what's inside the box!"

The young man with a look of helplessness on his face spread his hands. At that moment, Zhou Yuanyuan suddenly thought of that stern and serious middle-aged butler in the villa.

Recalling how the man had been worriedly preparing a birthday gift for a young girl, a smile flashed in her beautiful eyes.

This smile quickly spread across her bewitching face, and then, the girl with a devilish beauty finally revealed a radiant and sincere smile!

"Pfft!"

The clear sound of laughter instantly spread throughout the room. In a lounge bustling with life, except for the young man singing passionately in glasses, suddenly, became deathly silent.

And everyone's gaze converged on that fairy-like girl.

The colorful lights above shone on the girl's cheeks, giving her flawless complexion a slight, warm glow.

The girl's originally icy-cold face was now replaced by a bright and radiant smile, a genuine laughter from the heart that could disperse any shadow or darkness within someone's heart. Perhaps it was the stark contrast from before that made it feel so startlingly moving.

At that moment, the air conditioning vent above was blowing right on the girl, and with the fluttering of her light hair, the girl seemed like a sprite misplaced in the world.

Like a dream, like a fantasy!
