The auction came to an end, the lights in the venue gradually dimmed, the crowd dispersed, and only the faint scent of perfume remained in the air.

Xiaona, Xie Junyi and Xie Junlan were also preparing to leave. They walked out of the venue side by side. Shangguan Rong stood in a corner behind them, silently watching their backs, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He knew that his cousin's repeated provocations had made him feel so ashamed that he could hardly face them anymore.

He felt heartbroken and helpless. In fact, he liked Qiu Xiaona very much and wanted to accept her as his sister.

The three of them got in the car. Qiu Xiaona saw that today's driver was Assistant Liu, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Assistant Liu, why are you driving today?"

Assistant Liu sat in the driver's seat, turned around, and explained with a gentle smile on his face: "The driver asked for leave today, so I will temporarily replace him."

After hearing this, Qiu Xiaona smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Assistant Liu. You are doing the work of two professions at the same time. I will give you a raise."

When Assistant Liu heard this, he showed a pleasant surprise on his face and quickly thanked her: "Thank you, Madam! You are so considerate. This is what I should do."

After all three of them got in the car, it started slowly and drove towards Biboyuan.

Qiu Xiaona threw all the items she bought at the auction to Xie Junlan and said, "Take a look and pick whatever you like."

When Xie Junlan heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, as if he had seen a treasure.

She couldn't wait to start looking through these exquisite objects, exclaiming in amazement from time to time.

She picked out a few items that she particularly liked without hesitation, with a satisfied smile on her face, as if she already had all the happiness in the world.

Suddenly, Qiu Xiaona said to Xie Junlan: "You still remember the bet, right? I won, but you have to promise me one thing."

Xie Junlan's face, which was originally filled with a satisfied smile, suddenly became bitter after hearing Qiu Xiaona's words, as if he had eaten a bitter melon.

She pouted and said reluctantly, "Sister-in-law, why do you bring this up at this time? I was still immersed in the joy of choosing treasures, but now that you mentioned this, I can't be happy anymore."

Xie Junyi, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but smile when watching the interaction between his sister and sister-in-law.

Xie Junlan noticed her brother's smile. She frowned in dissatisfaction and asked, "Brother, have you colluded with my sister-in-law? Otherwise, why would you suddenly come to the auction?"

In her opinion, it was very strange that her brother suddenly appeared at the auction, as he rarely participated in these auctions before.

Xie Junyi shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't collude with your sister-in-law. I just happened to know that you were coming to the auction, so I came to take a look."

His tone was relaxed, and he didn't seem to care about his sister's doubts.

However, Xie Junlan did not intend to give up. She continued to ask: "How did you know we were at the auction?"

In her opinion, there must be something fishy going on.

Xie Junyi glanced at Assistant Liu who was concentrating on driving, and a smile flashed in his eyes, "Assistant Liu told me."

When Xie Junlan heard this, she immediately pointed the finger at Assistant Liu. She turned her head, glared at Assistant Liu, and asked, "Assistant Liu, why did you betray me? Didn't I specifically tell you not to tell my brother? Why did you still tell me?"

When Assistant Liu Liu heard Xie Junlan's question, he sighed helplessly.

He explained: "Miss, you did tell me not to tell the president, but..."

He paused, as if looking for the right words, "My salary is paid by the president, so of course I have to listen to the president. After all, I am just a humble worker."

There was a hint of helplessness and embarrassment in his tone, and he obviously didn't want to get involved in this dispute between siblings.

After listening to Assistant Liu's explanation, Xie Junlan was suddenly speechless.

Although she felt somewhat unwilling, she also knew that what Assistant Liu said was true.

Qiu Xiaona looked at Xie Junlan's aggrieved look, and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pinch her cheek, with a mischievous smile on her lips: "Okay, if you lose, you lose. You don't want to cheat, do you?"

Xie Junlan was pinched by Qiu Xiaona and it hurt a little, but she was not angry. Instead, she quickly shook her head and denied it: "Sister-in-law, tell me, what do you want me to promise you?"

There was a hint of curiosity and anticipation on her face, and she seemed to be very interested in what Qiu Xiaona would say next.

Qiu Xiaona smiled and said, "Actually, I've always known that you are very talented in image design, so I want you to come to work in my company and specialize in image design for the company's actors."

After hearing what Qiu Xiaona said, Xie Junlan showed a surprised expression on his face.

She didn't expect that what Qiu Xiaona said coincided with her thoughts. It was as if they were in sync with each other.

She happily hugged Qiu Xiaona and said, "Sister-in-law, you really understand me! I was thinking that if I won, I would ask you to agree to let me work in your company. I didn't expect you to think so too."

Qiu Xiaona was hugged a little tightly by Xie Junlan, but she did not push her away. Instead, she gently touched her head and said with a smile: "That's really fate."

Xie Junyi, who was sitting nearby, looked over to the two people who were being intimate over there from time to time.

Seeing his sister Xie Junlan hugging his wife Qiu Xiaona tightly, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and an inexplicable jealousy surged in his heart.

He couldn't help but speak, with a hint of dissatisfaction and ridicule in his voice: "Just hug me, why are you holding me for so long! This is my wife!"

As he spoke, he pried open Xie Junlan's hands that were tightly hugging Qiu Xiaona.

When Xie Junlan heard his brother's words, he turned around and looked at him provocatively, and said, "What's wrong with me hugging my sister-in-law? Are you so stingy? So what if she's your wife? She's still my sister-in-law!"

There was a hint of pride and provocation in her tone, and she didn't seem to care about her brother's jealousy.

After saying that, she hugged Qiu Xiaona tightly again, as if telling her brother with her actions that the close relationship between her and her sister-in-law could not be broken.

Her cheek was pressed against Qiu Xiaona's shoulder, with a smug smile on her lips, as if she was showing off her victory to her brother.

Xie Junyi felt even more jealous when he saw his sister's provocative look.

He knew clearly in his heart that this little girl was deliberately trying to irritate him.

He sighed and did not try to pry her hand away. Instead, he turned around and looked at Qiu Xiaona aggrievedly.

Qiu Xiaona was caught between the two people, feeling both amused and helpless.

"Okay, you two, stop making trouble. Xie Junyi, don't be jealous, Jun Lan is just too happy."

She patted Xie Junlan's hand gently, signaling her to let go.

Only then did Xie Junlan let go of his hand and sat back in his seat.
