Chauffeur

As they were about to leave the house, Li Na paused and spun around to face Ning Yu.  "Ning Yu, I have a gift for you," Li Na said, her voice tender and sincere.

She reached into her purse and gently pulled out a small jewelry box. She opened it slowly, revealing a set of stunning accessories. A pearl necklace and matching earrings glowed in the soft light, radiating elegance and grace. She smiled warmly and offered the box to Ning Yu.

"I saw this pearl set and I thought of you. It suits you so well. It captures your natural beauty and enhances your refined style."

Ning Yu's eyes widened in delight as she accepted the gift. She held the pearl necklace in her hands, feeling the smooth texture and admiring the lustrous glow. "Li Na, thank you so much. I feel like a princess wearing these pearls," she exclaimed, her excitement contagious.

The jewelry Li Na and Ning Yu wore that evening was not just any ordinary adornment; it was a part of her secret collection. Each piece held a story, a memory, and a hidden significance that only she knew.

Li Na smiled warmly, her eyes sparkling with satisfaction. She then carefully selected a simple yet elegant red necklace for herself, knowing it would complement her skin tone and outfit. As she fastened it around her neck, the necklace enhanced her overall appearance.

As Ning Yu and Li Na stepped out of the house, they realized with a mix of surprise and amusement that they had overlooked a crucial detail—transportation to the venue. In this highly restricted residential area, there were no private vehicles allowed, and they would have to make their way to the security gate on foot.

Ning Yu exclaimed, her voice laced with playful self-deprecation, "How could we forget something so important? We were so caught up in getting ready that we neglected the means to actually get there!"

Li Na smiled, she was calm and unshaken by the unexpected situation.

Ning Yu, feeling unsatisfied with their current situation, exclaimed, "This won't do! Why don't I call my big brother?" Li Na quickly interjected, urging Ning Yu not to bother her brother. However, Ning Yu retorted, "What's the use of having a brother if he can't be of assistance when we need him?"

Ning Yu grabbed her phone and dialed her older brother Ning An's number.

As the call connected, Ning Yu put on her mischievous grin. "Hey, Big Bro! It's your favorite little sister. Guess what? We need a ride to a banquet. Can you handle the responsibility?"

Ning An sighed on the other end of the line. "Ah, my dear little troublemaker. Of course, I'll be there to chauffeur you. "

"Hurry up, brother. The event is about to start, and we can't be fashionably late," 

On the other end of the line, Ning An chuckled, fully aware of his sister's nature. "Madam, I am on my way," he replied playfully, teasing Ning Yu with a touch of affectionate sarcasm.

As Li Na listened to the siblings' lively conversation through the phone, she couldn't help but be reminded of the stark contrast between their harmonious relationship and her own family dynamics.

It was a stark reminder of what she yearned for—a family that would support her, instead of constantly trying to bring her down.

In her family, it often felt like a pack of wolves, each member vying for their own interests. Their actions and words were sharp, laced with hidden agendas and the desire to undermine one another. The atmosphere at home was tense, lacking the sense of security and love that she craved.

As Li Na closed her eyes, a bittersweet sigh escaped her lips.

As Ning Yu ended the call with her brother, she turned to Li Na and exclaimed, "Our chauffeur is coming!"

Her playful comment snapped Li Na out of her thoughts, and a giggle escaped her lips. She couldn't help but wonder how Ning Yu's brother would react if he ever heard her say that.

Ning Yu's brother, Ning An, soon arrived at their house to pick them up for the event. As the girls stepped out of the house, Ning An couldn't help but tease his sister as he stepped out of the car.

However, his words came to a halt as his gaze fell upon Li Na, who stood before him looking breathtakingly beautiful.

A momentary silence enveloped Ning An as he found himself captivated by Li Na's radiant presence. Her aura exuded elegance and confidence, making it impossible for him to look away.
