Chapter 785: Late Present
Shengxi Town in A Land.
After Yuan Meng returned to the Anderson Family safely, she fulfilled her promise and told Gu Siting about the birthday present Gu Weiwei left for him.
The present was at an ancient high-end, handcraft store in Shengxi Town. After Gu Siting returned from Barcelona, he went straight to Shengxi Town.
He followed the address Yuan Meng gave him and found the store, where he gave Gu Weiwei’s name and contact information.
The staff checked the records and said, “This item has been here all this time. Miss Gu did not come when she was supposed to pick it up, and we could not reach her, so we kept it.”
“Please give it to me.” Gu Siting’s voice sounded a bit nervous and hoarse.
“Please wait.”
Having said these words, the staff member called her colleague into the storeroom and found the present that had been stored inside for over a year.
After cleaning off the dust, she gave it to Gu Siting.
“I am sorry, Miss. Gu made it herself but it looks a little old after being left here for so long.”
“It’s okay.” Gu Siting took the box, thanked the staff and left. He carefully held the gift with both hands.
Kuroda Shio, who was waiting outside, opened the door when he saw him coming out.
Gu Siting got into the car and slowly opened the faded wrapping paper.
He put aside the wrapping paper and carefully opened the box.
Inside the box was a hand-made porcelain cup. The color was clear and soft, and the drawing on the cup was also very vivid and interesting.
When he took it out and saw the shape and pattern of the cup, his eyes showed bitterness.
During a summer vacation, when she was in middle school, he had made such a cup with her. He designed the shape and she designed the patterns.
They had made two cups, but only one was completed successfully.
The one successful cup was still in the Gu Family home, but after so many years, she had successfully made the cup again by herself.
It was only after she had been gone for such a long time that he found the present that should have been delivered to him.
Kuroda Shio sat in the driver’s seat and glanced at the man behind him through the rear-view mirror.
“President Gu, are we leaving now?”
A long while later, Gu Siting carefully put away the cup and held the box with both hands, as if it were a very precious treasure.
“Let’s go.”
All the way back to the Gu Family’s mansion, from Shengxi Town, he held the gift and did not let anyone else touch it.
Kuroda Shio suddenly heard Gu Siting ask from behind him, “Kuroda, if everything could be redone, would things be different to the way they are today?”
Kuroda Shio thought for a while and said, “There will be news about Miss Weiwei soon, right? There is still a chance.”
He thought that even if they could start over, he and Miss Weiwei would still end up like this.
He was stubborn and conceited. It was not until he lost Miss Weiwei that he realized that he could not let her go.
Therefore, if Miss Weiwei had not died, he would not have realized his true feelings, even if she was living next to him.
Because of Miss Weiwei’s arrival, he had lost his father who he deeply respected.
And because of his dead father, he had distanced himself from Miss Weiwei and eventually lost her too.
As for the Nine-Eyed Pearl, he did not know if it could find Miss Weiwei, but even if it did, after experiencing life and death, how could she possibly return to him?
With the last present in his arms, Gu Siting mumbled, “Yes, there is still a chance.”
They would have a chance to meet again, and he would have a chance to bring her back to him.
