Lin Wanwan was slightly startled, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Really? That's a pity. I didn't expect my painting style to be similar to that of famous painters."

Huo Jingchen looked at her gently and smiled: "Well, your paintings are very contagious, just like this landscape painting, which makes people feel as if they are in the world in the painting."

After hearing Huo Jingchen's praise, Lin Wanwan felt a surge of joy in her heart.

She looked at the painting on the stage and felt more and more familiar with it. "Maybe I have seen her paintings somewhere before, but I just don't remember it."

Huo Jingchen held her hand and said softly, "It's okay. When we have a chance, we can learn more about the painter's works. Maybe we will find more."

At this time, the auction was still going on and the prices of landscape paintings continued to rise.

Lin Wanwan and Huo Jingchen's attention was also attracted by the auction.

"Do you like this painting?" Huo Jingchen suddenly asked.

Lin Wanwan nodded slightly, "Yeah, I like it."

"Then how about we buy it?" Huo Jingchen raised the corners of his lips.

Hearing this, Lin Wanwan's eyes lit up, "Is it really possible?"

Huo Jingchen reached out and touched her head, smiling indulgently, "Of course, as long as it's what Madam likes, I can give it to you."

Seeing that the painting had been auctioned for one million, Lin Wanwan shook her head subconsciously and said, "It's too expensive. Forget it. Let's not spend the money."

Huo Jingchen leaned close to her ear and whispered to her, "It's okay, don't forget, your husband and I have plenty of money."

Not far away, Yu Wanyin and Yu Yao looked at the intimacy between Huo Jingchen and Lin Wanwan, their hearts filled with jealousy and resentment.

Yu Yao couldn't help but say, "Sister, look at that Lin Wanwan, she only knows how to pretend in front of Brother Jing Chen and seduce him."

Yu Wanyin bit her lip, her face turning slightly pale, “Yaoyao, stop talking.”

At this time, Huo Jingchen took the number plate and started bidding directly, "Two million."

Huo Jingchen's bid caused a small sensation.

Everyone looked at him and Lin Wanwan, their eyes filled with surprise and envy.

Lin Wanwan was also startled by Huo Jingchen's behavior. She gently pulled the corner of Huo Jingchen's clothes and whispered, "Jingchen, it's too expensive. There's no need to spend so much money."

Huo Jingchen disagreed. He looked at Lin Wanwan tenderly and said, "As long as you like it, it's worth it."

Huo Ruilin on the side hummed and smiled softly, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to save money with my brother, just think of it as charity! My brother has plenty of money."

The host on the stage was so excited that he shouted loudly: "Mr. Huo bid 200 million, is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"

There was a sudden silence and no one dared to raise the price anymore.

After all, no matter how wealthy they are, they are not as wealthy as the Huo family, right?

"Two million once, two million twice, two million..."

Just when the host was about to announce the price, suddenly, the door of the venue was pushed open.

A man in a black suit suddenly appeared at the door, followed by two bodyguards.

The man faced the light, the man faced the light, as if he had walked out of a painting.

He is tall and straight, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and the suit perfectly outlines his slender and powerful figure.

His facial features are delicate and his short, neat black hair makes him look even more handsome and capable.

The man wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and the look behind the lenses revealed a hint of unruliness and cynicism, giving people the feeling of a gentlemanly villain.

He raised his chin slightly, with an innate arrogance.

The man shouted, "I'll give you three million."

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the man at the door.

Lin Wanwan and Huo Jingchen also turned their heads to look, with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

Huo Jingchen frowned slightly. He didn't know this man, but his appearance was obviously a provocation.

The host shouted excitedly: "This gentleman bid three million! Is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"

Huo Jingchen's face darkened and he was about to make another bid when Lin Wanwan grabbed his hand.

"Jing Chen, forget it, it's too expensive. And it's not necessary to buy this painting."

Huo Jingchen looked at Lin Wanwan, his eyes full of tenderness. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The man looked at Huo Jingchen proudly, walked up to the stage, paid and received the landscape painting.

Huo Ruilin said angrily: "Who is this person? Why is he so arrogant? How dare he snatch things from my brother?"

Lin Wanwan shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe he likes this painting too."

Huo Jingchen remained silent. He always felt that the appearance of this man was not simple and seemed to be well prepared. But he couldn't figure out what this man's purpose was.

The man handed the painting in his hand to the bodyguard behind him, and then walked to the row where Lin Wanwan and the others were.

The seat to Lin Wanwan's left was still empty, and the man walked straight towards her step by step.

Huo Jingchen frowned and looked at the man with a hint of vigilance.

"Miss, may I sit here?" His tone was gentle and his every move was gentlemanly.

For a moment, Lin Wanwan couldn't find a reason to refuse, so she could only nod slightly, "Sir, please."

After getting Lin Wanwan's permission, the man sat next to her and introduced himself, "Excuse me, what is your name, Miss?"

"My name is Lin Wanwan." Lin Wanwan smiled politely.

The man extended his hand, a smile on his handsome face, "Hello, Miss Lin! My name is Ye Sinian."

Lin Wanwan looked at the hand Ye Sinian extended to her, hesitated for a moment, and then gently shook it. "Hello, Mr. Ye."

Huo Jingchen looked at the scene of them shaking hands, and a feeling of displeasure welled up in his heart.

He slightly turned sideways, pulled Lin Wanwan towards him, and looked at Ye Sinian with cold eyes. "Mr. Ye, this seat is taken, please leave."

Ye Sinian was not moved at all. He pushed his glasses on his nose and raised a playful smile. "Mr. Huo, why are you so stingy? I just want to make friends with Miss Lin."

"Do you know me?" Huo Jingchen's face became even uglier. He knew that this man came prepared.

"Master Huo is the prince of the Beijing circle. Who doesn't know it?"

There was a faint smile on Ye Sinian's lips, but the look behind the lenses was unpredictable.

Huo Jingchen snorted coldly, "Since you know my identity, you still dare to provoke me. Mr. Ye is quite courageous."

Ye Sinian shrugged, "Mr. Huo, you are too kind. I just felt a sense of familiarity with Miss Lin at first sight and wanted to make friends with her."

Huo Jingchen held Lin Wanwan's hand tightly, declaring his sovereignty, "My wife doesn't need a friend like you."

Lin Wanwan looked at the tense atmosphere between the two and said helplessly, "Jing Chen, don't be so serious. Mr. Ye may just be being polite."

Huo Jingchen turned his head and looked at Lin Wanwan, frowning, and couldn't help but say: "Wanwan, you are not experienced in the world, you don't know that people are treacherous, and some people are not as simple as they seem on the surface."
