I'm A Baller - Chapter 140
Chapter 140: A Roomful of Ugly Tangerines
Meanwhile, San Wan put her feet on the edge of the table and shouted like a mafia boss, “Sisters?”
Lin Weiwei, Nawu, Wang Xue and a few other cheeky girls looked at each other and shouted in unison, “Here, Big Sister Li!”
They were in perfect sync.
Wang Yan watched their antics and his eyeballs almost fell out.
Other people would step on a chair to show off. For the slim girls who learned dance, if they didn’t step on a table and or even on a wall, they wouldn’t be able to put on this imposing posture at all.
He Luoluo realized that something was wrong and started to tremble.
Liu Li placed her hands on her hips and continued to ask, “If someone wants to be my little mother, what should I do?”
Everyone answered in unison, “Get her!”
Nawu and Chu Hong rolled up their sleeves on the spot and couldn’t suppress their excitement, showing that they were usually the victims of this game. Hence, whenever there was a chance for revenge, they would rush to the front and take the lead.
He Luoluo was so frightened that she begged for mercy. “Look at the gifts, look at the gifts; there’s still a box of Cartier!”
She just did not beg Liu Li.
“HMPH!” Liu Li laughed evilly and looked He Luoluo up and down. “There are boys present, but brace yourself for tonight. You were mean to my Wang Wang today and I’ll be ten times meaner to you!”
Sigh!
Don’t worry about me; just do what you need to do.
Wang Yan felt that it was such a pity that he couldn’t witness it.
…
“Look at the Cartier! Look at the Cartier!”
For the time being, they let He Luoluo go. The girls stopped playing and immediately urged Liu Li again.
Then, Liu Li picked up the box of chocolates.
“Oh my God! I knew it…”
Everyone rolled their eyes, but they still leaned over curiously and stared at the box of unmarked chocolates.
“Fau-chon’s handmade chocolates, right?”
“Eh? They’re placed at the bottom of the box in such a grand manner. Could it be that Gouzi made them personally?”
Liu Li’s eyes lit up, and she turned her head to verify it with Lin Weiwei.
Pingzhi nodded proudly, as if it had something to do with her. Emmm..
“It’s a very nice gesture, huh?”
“That’s right! Although we can’t eat too much chocolate, how romantic is that?”
“Quickly open it and take a look!”
Liu Li pursed her lips tightly. Her small face was very solemn as she carefully opened the box.
After opening it and taking a look…
She was petrified.
Her expression instantly froze, and then her pupils dilated bit by bit..
Two seconds later, she placed the box on the table and turned around to burst out laughing.
“Hahahaha…”
Eh? !
What kind of reaction was that?
The girls were dumbfounded, and Wang Yan was even more dumbfounded.
Then, Nawu quickly took off the lid of the box completely. Everyone widened their eyes and looked…
All of them burst out into laughter.
“Wahahaha!”
“Isn’t this too funny?”
“Doggie, you’re going to make me laugh to death!”
Wang Yan knew that something unexpected had happened, so he braced himself for the worst. He pretended to be calm as he walked over to take a look…
His pupils dilated.
How should he describe it… it was quite tragic.
It was originally bonbons which didn’t look too good and weren’t evenly sized, but they still had shapes.
Now, it was a lump… a lump… a pile..
In any case, it looked like a pile of raw material that hadn’t completely solidified yet after repeatedly melting and solidifying in the small cubicles.
Wang Yan looked at Lin Weiwei in shock, and she turned her head away guiltily.
Well, the two idiots who lacked life experience had completely forgot one thing in their excitement — chocolates hated high temperatures!
It was summer and the box had been stored in the trunk of her car, so how could it look good?
Sigh!
Wang Yan knew that it was his fault, not Lin Weiwei’s. He sighed silently, and a feeling of discomfort suddenly welled up in his heart.
This was the first time that he made a gift with his own hands, and he had messed up..
Right at this moment, Liu Li suddenly stretched out her index finger and gently dug into the half-melted chocolate. She immediately scoop out a large piece.
Then, she put her finger into her mouth and sucked it clean. Her face instantly lit up.
“Wow! It’s very delicious!”
He Luoluo finally found an opportunity to retaliate. She snorted disdainfully. “Tck…”
Liu Li ignored her and turned to Wang Yan. She raised her head and smiled happily. “Wang Wang, it’s really delicious! Come and try it!”
“Okay.”
Wang Yan’s heart melted. He nodded and was about to dig for the chocolate.
However, Liu Li threw her arms around his neck. “There’s no need to go through so much trouble…”
Then…
It was so sweet!
Chocolate was sweet, but he felt sweeter in his heart.
Wang Yan held her waist obediently, afraid that the kitten would fall without his support. Then, he heard a burst of laughter beside them.
“Wow… So romantic!” Chu Hong’s eyes were full of stars.
“F*ck! What kind of sin did I commit to endure such torture?!” Lu Yuanyuan was so angry that she slammed the table.
“Ah! I really want a boyfriend! I really want to fall in love!”
Needless to say, it was Nawu again.
“F*ck, are you going to let me eat or not? Why are you showing off you love in front of us? Today is my birthday party! Don’t you understand?!”
It was rare for Fu Yushi to get so angry. She was usually very calm, but today she was fed up with this couple’s display of love.
Lin Weiwei didn’t say anything. She smiled like an amiable aunt, and her eyes were unreadable.
As to Han Luzhou and Guo Zihao, one knocked on the table and cheered while the other whistled, as if they were in a wedding.
In the midst of the bustle, Chang Kai sat alone in a corner, looking particularly lonely.
He was very unhappy with Wang Yan, but at this moment, he couldn’t hide the envy in his eyes.
If only it were Shishi and me…
Why can’t I do it?
He thought hard but could not understand, so he continued to sit alone in the corner.
After a long while, the two separated. Liu Li smiled sweetly and asked in a soft voice, “Isn’t it very sweet?”
“Sweet.”
Wang Yan nodded. Before he could say anything, he was pushed aside by the girls.
“Eh… Get lost, get lost!”
“Are you two done?”
“Doggie, if you show off like this again, we might want to eat dog meat tonight…”
“From now on, if the two of them do this again, we’ll break the guy’s leg. Everyone will supervise them!”
“Okay!”
The girls agreed loudly.
Wang Yan didn’t want to surrender so easily, so he tried to enlist Wang Xue as his ally and said to her earnestly.
“Sister Xue, you have Old Han. Why do you have to hang out with a group of single girls? Come…”
“Get lost!”
Before his inciting words were finished, he received several punches ran away covering his head with his hands.
Wang Yan fled back to his seat. Facing old Han and Guo Zihao’s teasing gazes, he smiled indifferently and sat down calmly. Immediately, he looked like a Prince Charming with a dignified bearing.
Wow, amazing…
Old Han and Guo Zihao looked at him in a new light. They had never seen such a brazen person in their peers… And he was even a rich second generation. Unbelievable!
The girls quickly finished their argument. Na Wu, a foodie, scooped out some chocolate with her finger as Liu Li had done, just to taste it. But she was scolded by Wang Xue.
“You have to taste everything? Do you still have an appetite after watching their disgusting display of love?”
Liu Li giggled and carefully closed the box of chocolate. She put it away and did not show any intention of sharing it with others.
If the chocolate was intact, she would be very generous.
However, now that half of it had melting, in her eyes, it was more like a signal from the Fate. It had an exceptionally bright color.
It is all mine!
How nice.
When she put it away, she saw a note stuck between the box cover and the outer packaging.
The B*tch pulled it out. After taking a look, she was dumbfounded.
“What the hell? !”
She knew each of the six characters but when they were put together, she was dumbfounded.
Mina exclaimed as if she had just discovered a new continent, “Wow! What beautiful calligraphy! Could it be written by Doggie?”
Liu Li did not know that Wang Yan had such skills. She could not put down the note and read it over and over again.
“What does it mean?”
Lu Yuanyuan asked anxiously, but Liu Li only smiled shyly and did not say a word.
They got impatient…
In the end, Fu Yushi said faintly, “You inspire me like the spring grass dream”. It was a line from a poem written by Xin Qiji. I don’t remember the details, but there was a line in it, ‘for I love the emerald lake (pronounced as Liu Li in Chinese), which is as vast as 30,000 (pronounced as San Wan in Chinese)hectares.’ Liu Li, I finally know where you got your nickname…”
Fu Yushi had always been composed. Even though Chang Kai had messed up her birthday party for a while, and then Liu Li and Wang Yan had stolen the thunder, she had remained calm. She just laughed and let everyone fool around, knowing they were just joking.
But at this moment, her expression turned unusually complicated.
Her long eyelashes fluttered from time to time All kinds of emotions were flickering in her eyes. Occasionally, there was a hint of envy, but the rest of her emotions were hidden very well.
No one else noticed it but Nawu suddenly felt suspicious.
What did the Little Princess tell me?
Uh… I didn’t remember..
Na Wu’s thoughts quickly became chaotic, because everyone was shouting in envy.
“Wow! San Wan… how romantic… No, no, I really can’t have more of it today!”
“Doggie’s handwriting is actually so good?! He hid it very well, huh?”
“Although it’s only six characters, I don’t know why, but it reminds me of a love poem…”
“Which one?”
“Ah! The sea, you’re all water! Ah! Liu Li, why are you so beautiful…”
“Hahahaha!”
“What do you guys think of it?”
“That’s rubbish. You just don’t understand it. It is clearly a secret code!”
“Code for what?”
“You have to tear apart the characters first!”
He Luoluo was so angry that she turned livid, which couldn’t concealed by her makeup. She wanted to grab her silly bestie’s shoulder strap and shout, “Why did you call me B*tch?”
Fine, I am a little b*tchy, but I not only lost to Little Liu Li, but was also beaten up by you guys in all kinds of fancy ways. How f*cking sad is that?!
You guys still want to step on me!
However, she could do nothing but grit her teeth and endure their provocations. Otherwise, they would really deal with her at night. In the dance academy, the girls hung out with each other every day and knew nothing about mercy.
Everyone read the short love note and had another bout of envy. Finally, they could not hold back their curiosity and turned their eyes to the ultimate gift.
Liu Li did not waste any time. She picked it up and opened the box.
It was clear that she did not care about luxury watch, which was the most expensive gift among the others.
Just as she was untying the ribbon, Nawu suddenly remembered something and asked Wang Yan curiously, “Hey, Wang Wang, how much did you spend on that sea of flowers?”
“Ah?” Wang Yan was caught by surprise and replied vaguely, “Not much.”
“How much is not much?!”
The girls were particularly dissatisfied.
“Give me a number! Why do you still keep it a secret?”
Hearing this, not only Han Luzhou and Guo Zihao’s curiosity was roused, even Chang Kai, who had been listless all this time, pricked up his ears.
Meeing their fierce eyes, Wang Yan shook his head. “It’s the same price as the gift in the box. You guys can see for yourselves.”
Director Wang smirked like a naughty child.
Not telling oyu is for your own good. Since you are so curious, then fine, I’ll do some showing up!
Meanwhile, Lin Weiwei, Fu Yushi, and the others were very puzzled — what was going on? A sea of flowers and a Cartier gift were of the same price?
Then, how cheap was the Cartier gift?
Or there was another possibility… how expensive was the sea of flowers?!
Liu Li was inexplicably surprised when she finally opened the gift box. When the watch covered with diamonds was displayed in front of everyone, all the girls covered their mouths.
No woman could resist the temptation of gemstones!
If there was one, please take her to be tested!
“Wow…” Mina exclaimed for the umpteenth time today.
“Sob, sob, sob… I’m not joking–I really want to fall in love!”
“If you’re looking for this, the standard might be a little high…”
Lin Weiwei rubbed Nana’s head, cursing silently.
Of course, she was cursing the guy Doggie.
Fu Yushi had just righteously rejected Chang Kai’s gift for being too expensive, but now she kept urging, “Liu Li, try it on!”
“Yes, put it on and let us see it!”
While Liu Li put on the watch, he Luoluo quietly took out the receipt, glanced at it, and quietly hid it behind her.
Lu Yuanyuan’s eyes were sharp. She grabbed it and took a glance at it. With a click of her tongue, she was almost choked by her own saliva.
“F*ck, Doggie, you’re extravagant!”
“How much, how much?”
Everyone pricked up their ears like rabbits. They did not even look at the watch and only stared at the receipt in Lu Yuanyuan’s hand.
“260,000!”
Everyone was stunned.
It was not just because the watch was expensive. Cartier’s full diamond watch was indeed expensive.
What was even more terrifying was actually another matter
Wang Yan, you prodigal. You actually spent 260,000 on a room of flowers?!
Oh, the sourness I feel is too much for my teeth!
Wang Yan realized that the room had suddenly quieted down. When he looked up, he saw that the girls were all grimacing. Their facial features were all squeezed together, looking like a roomful of ugly oranges.
