The little rabbit is obedient and is forcibly embraced by the villain

The auctioneer was stunned for a moment. After seeing the room number where the sky lantern was, a respectful expression immediately appeared on his face. He said loudly: "Dear guests, Mr. Xiao Wu, the number one, has lit the sky lantern."

As soon as the words fell, everyone present was in an uproar.

Although most of the people who came to the Shuntian Auction today came for the mermaids, they were surprised that Master Xiao Wu actually lit a sky lantern for a mermaid.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Master Xiao Wu had some reason to take a picture of the mermaid?

They unconsciously thought of Old Man Xiao from the Xiao family in North City.

I heard that Mr. Xiao has been ill recently. Could it be that Mr. Xiao Wu took the photo of this mermaid just for the old man?

Curiosity and exploration surged like a tide, but no one dared to really look at Xiao Chen with a scrutinizing eye.

Everyone in the room was also shocked, and the most shocked was Xiao Yi.

Shuntian Auction House has a rule that once a sky lantern is lit, it means that the bidder is willing to bid at a price twice as high as the current bid.

The previous bidder bid 50 yuan, and Master Xiao Wu lit a sky lantern, which meant that Master Xiao Wu was willing to bid 100 million yuan for the mermaid.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but look at Xiao Chen cautiously.

He wondered in his heart, where did Xiao Chen get so much money?

And what is the significance of him taking pictures of the mermaid?

Could it be? Is it for the old man?

Thinking of this, his expression froze, and the unpleasantness of being bullied just now rushed to his head.

His status in the family has been getting lower and lower, and there is no way he would let Xiao Chen steal the limelight from the old man.

Just as he was thinking about this, he also shouted to the people outside: "I, Xiao Liu from Beicheng, light the sky lantern."

These people were even more surprised.

Xiao Liu? Isn't he Xiao Wuye's younger brother?

What's going on? Family members are fighting over things?

Finally, West City's Huo Shao was also confused. How did they snatch the merman? Didn't they come here today to bring Xiao Chen down? Was this another part of the plan?

Xiao Chen, who was at the center of the storm, still had an indifferent expression. He leaned lazily on the soft backrest of the sofa, with his eyes lowered in dignity.

So, throughout the entire auction, the only sound was Xiao Yi's every bid, and Xiao Chen's slender knuckles tapping lightly, his thin lips uttering a single word: "Add."

In the end, the mermaid was sold at a sky-high price of 50 million oceans.

Just when everyone thought Xiao Chen would raise the price, Xiao Chen remained silent.

This is? No more?

Xiao Chen lifted his eyelids and glanced at Xiao Yi, looking at him with a half-smile, and said in a cold voice: "Since Sixth Young Master Xiao likes it, then I'll give it to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the puzzled gaze of the mermaid beside him.

Xiao Chen gently held the little mermaid's neck and squeezed it, as if to comfort her.

Although Bai Zitu didn't understand Xiao Chen's actions, she chose to believe him and lowered her head obediently.

But I was sighing in my heart, is this the irresistible force of the plot?

The plot said that the heroine would be rescued by the hero, but I didn’t expect it to be true.

Xiao Chen watched the little mermaid with her head down, her long neck exposed, looking slender and thin.

He was very satisfied with the mermaid's obedience. His fingers gently tapped the mermaid's delicate neck from time to time and said softly, "But, can the Xiao family of North City come up with 5000 million yuan?"

Xiao Yi came to his senses and started to panic.

5000 million oceans!

Where is he going to get 5000 million?

The looks from all around made him feel uneasy, but he could only bite the bullet and say, "Of course."

As soon as the words fell, a light sneer was heard.

He turned his head and saw his nominal brother staring at him with dark eyes full of mockery.

There was a sudden snap in his mind, as if a string had broken.

He is only six years younger than his brother. He has been the most favored one in the family since he was young. The constant flattery from his family has made him rotten from the inside out.

Since childhood, Xiao Chen, the unfavored bastard, has been bullied by him a lot.

But why?

But after just three years out there, why does he act so superior?

Isn’t he just relying on the reputation of the Xiao family in North City?

In the end, Xiao Yi had no choice but to send people to North City as quickly as possible to collect the money.

After the auction, Shuntian Auction House prepared a dinner as usual, which is a customary arrangement after every auction.

"What are you thinking about?" The man spoke in a calm tone, leaning slightly sideways, his movements natural and dignified.

"No, nothing." Bai Zitu answered absentmindedly, still thinking about how to rescue her little sisters later.

The cold hand brought the little mermaid back to her senses. She felt someone gently lift her chin. Bai Zitu turned her head curiously and met a pair of deep eyes.

"Don't worry, trust me."

Xiao Chen naturally understood what Bai Zitu was worried about. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but find it a little funny.

Is it possible that in her eyes, I am someone who can't even handle such a small matter?

Noticing the change in Xiao Chen's expression, Bai Zitu reached out and grasped the leather-gloved hand. The warmth passed through the leather, and the girl's clear voice rang out, "I believe it."

Hearing this, the fierce aura on Xiao Chen's body quietly dissipated.

Although his expression remained as calm as before, Wang Hong, who was standing behind him, keenly noticed that the slight curve of his Fifth Master's mouth was becoming more and more obvious.

At this time, the servants came and knocked on the door, respectfully inviting the distinguished guests to the hall for dinner.

After sending the servants away, Xiao Chen bent down, gently picked up Bai Zitu from the sofa, placed him in a wheelchair beside him, and then slowly pushed the wheelchair out of the room.

Everyone present noticed Xiao Chen's unusual attitude towards the disabled girl, but no one dared to ask.

They originally thought that this was just a female companion that Xiao Chen found, but when they saw how cautious and caring Xiao Chen was, they felt that she was definitely not just an ordinary female companion.

With this thought in mind, everyone followed Xiao Chen out of the room.

The first floor had already been decorated magnificently, with Western musical instruments playing soothing music.

The tense atmosphere of scrambling for the auction items just now at the venue has disappeared, replaced by hypocritical faces and chatting with each other.

When they saw Xiao Chen appear with Bai Zitu, everyone gathered around them enthusiastically to chat.

Bai Zitu was not interested in the hypocritical way of communication of humans. She looked around curiously, but found that more and more eyes were falling on her.

She felt a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly, a sharp scent of sandalwood came, and the man's cloak covered her body, invisibly blocking out the gazes lingering on her.

Bai Zitu looked up subconsciously.

Xiao Chen seemed to be talking to the people around him. Bai Zitu looked up and saw golden tassels swaying on his broad and powerful shoulders, adding a bit of nobility to him.

He seemed to be born for this kind of occasion. During interpersonal interactions, his invisible aura and oppressive feeling made him the focus of everyone's attention. He firmly controlled the whole scene and made people unconsciously want to surrender.

No matter how noisy the surroundings are or how crowded the crowd is, you can recognize him and distinguish his voice at a glance.

Seeing Xiao Chen protecting his child, everyone present was also attracted by the petite girl in the wheelchair.

Her thin body was hidden in the wide cloak. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, she just smiled faintly.

Then, someone in the crowd cautiously asked, "Who is this?"
