Pei Yanqing really wanted to pull the person into his arms and comfort them, but he couldn't, because the person over there was still here.

He could only let Xie Xingchen gently and softly comfort Yun Yao in front of him.

At this moment, Xie Xingchen held Yun Yao in his arms, and seeing her pitiful and completely dependent on him, the jealousy that had just risen in his heart vanished instantly.

It doesn't matter whether Yun Yao likes Pei Yanqing, Jiang Yufeng, or someone else, as long as he can be by her side.

Although Pei Yanqing couldn't say anything to flatter Yun Yao in person, he could still send her messages.

[There's an auction tomorrow. Tell me what you want, okay?]

This sentence is followed by the jewelry page from the auction catalog.

Yun Yao was somewhat surprised that Pei Yanqing actually asked her what she wanted to buy. Is this how a male lead should treat a female supporting character?

But whatever, she just needs to maintain her persona.

I want them all.

[good. ]

Yun Yao turned her head to look at Pei Yanqing. Her bright eyes were clear and pure, and even her doubts and surprises were overshadowed by her pitiful and aggrieved expression.

Pei Yanqing's throat tightened.

[If you're a good girl, I'll give you whatever you want.]

Upon seeing Pei Yanqing's message, Xie Xingchen confiscated Yun Yao's phone and stuffed it into his own pocket.

"Don't use your phone while eating."

Wen Yuhan found the meal utterly tasteless.

He originally wanted to show off in front of Yun Yao and Xie Xingchen.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yanqing and Xie Xingchen's eyes were both on Yun Yao in the end.

Speaking of which, Wen Yuhan thought about tomorrow's auction.

Then she thought of the aphrodisiac Pei Er had given her.

If she didn't have a chance to drug Pei Yanqing, wouldn't she have a chance to drug Yun Yao?

They can still pamper and coax Yun Yao now.

But once she becomes a whore slept with by thousands and ridden by tens of thousands, they probably won't even bother to look at her.

"Yun Yao, Yan Qing is taking me to an auction tomorrow afternoon. Why don't you and Xing Chen come too? It would be good for you to broaden your horizons."

Before Yun Yao could speak, Xie Xingchen agreed, "Okay."

He doesn't need Pei Yanqing to coax him.

He could give her anything she wanted.

-

Before going to the auction the next day...

Yun Yao stared blankly at the various luxury brand dresses in the room for a long time.

Good heavens, did Xie Xingchen win the lottery? He's so rich!

"The company I co-founded with my classmates is now on track, and the projects I invested in have started to turn a profit."

Yun Yao knew Xie Xingchen was capable, but she didn't expect him to be this capable.

In fact, Xie Xingchen now possesses far more than he just mentioned.

Whether as an investor or an entrepreneur, he is a well-known rising star in the industry.

He ranks first on the list of young billionaires.

He also received an invitation to that auction, but he hadn't planned to go yet. After all, given his current status, there were all sorts of people trying to curry favor with him, which was really annoying.

This was the first time Yun Yao had ever seen Xie Xingchen wearing a tie; his youthful spirit and mature masculinity blended seamlessly with his appearance.

However, when Xie Xingchen saw Yun Yao's clothes, he raised an eyebrow and had some objections, "Isn't the neckline of your clothes a bit too low?"

"Low? It's alright."

Xie Xingchen picked and chose among the other clothes, and finally selected a slightly conservative black sleeveless fitted dress. "This one is better."

"..."

Xie Xingchen glanced down at his watch. "It'll start in ten minutes. Changing will only take five minutes at most."

"..." In the end, Yun Yao couldn't resist and changed into the one he suggested.

When Yun Yao came out after changing her clothes, Xie Xingchen pursed his lips.

Tsk, maybe it's not the clothes...

Yun Yao was a little confused when she saw Xie Xingchen still staring at her. "This one isn't okay either?"

Xie Xingchen took off his coat and draped it over Yun Yao. "...Okay, let's go."

Yun Yao: "..."

We arrived at the auction hall.

Wen Yuhan spotted Xie Xingchen at the door, walked over, greeted the waiter, and invited them in.

But the waiter completely ignored her.

Upon seeing the black and gold invitation in the visitors' hands, the waiter immediately ordered someone to welcome them inside.

Everyone else around assumed that Wen Yuhan wanted to get close to Xie Xingchen.

At first glance, judging from her haughty demeanor, one might really think she was quite familiar with that nouveau riche.

Unexpectedly, they completely ignored her.

"These days, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can sneak in."

"Exactly, judging by how she's all dressed up, she's probably eager to snag a rich husband."

"That's hilarious, they completely ignored her."

"Hmph, look at yourself. The people she's with are way better than her in terms of temperament, figure, and appearance."

Hearing the gossip around her, Wen Yuhan's face flushed red and then turned pale.

She never expected that Xie Xingchen would have an invitation... and a black and gold invitation that only someone of a very high status could have.

He used to be so down on his luck that he could only fight in underground boxing matches.

Pei Yanqing, who was discussing a project with someone on the other side, was not surprised at all when he saw this scene.

Xie Xingchen is a well-known name in the industry now.

Only someone like Wen Yuhan, who doesn't know how to utilize resources and only knows how to squander her savings, would be unaware of the situation within the industry.

The auction began, and everyone took their seats according to the locations assigned by the invitation.

Coincidentally, Pei Yanqing and Xie Xingchen were seated together.

When it came time for the jewelry auction, Pei Yanqing gestured to his assistant to raise his paddle.

Given Pei Yanqing's status, no one present would dare to take anything he wanted from him.

Xie Xingchen was the only one who kept raising the price.

Yun Yao couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed Xie Xingchen's hand just as he was about to raise the sign, saying, "Are you trying to get yourself ripped off by raising the price so high!"

Xie Xingchen smiled, his narrow eyes crinkling with a mischievous grin. "You don't mean you want him to buy it for you, do you?"

“…Are you crazy?” Yun Yao was afraid that Xie Xingchen would still fight with Pei Yanqing for it, so she pulled him away from the scene.

Pei Yanqing is a sworn fool; his family fortune is so vast that it could be squandered for generations.

Besides, capitalists don't really have anything to feel sorry for.

But Xie Xingchen is different.

Not long after Yun Yao pulled Xie Xingchen off the field, she suddenly felt hot all over.

At this moment, Wen Yuhan walked over and told Xie Xingchen that Pei Yanqing had something to discuss with him.

"Don't go."

Wen Yuhan glanced at Yun Yao, then leaned closer to Xie Xingchen and whispered, "It's about Yun Yao."

Xie Xingchen raised an eyebrow, and at that moment Pei Yanqing turned around and met his gaze.

"There's nothing to talk about."

"What?" Wen Yuhan didn't expect Xie Xingchen to say that. Wasn't he just fighting Pei Yanqing to the death with a strong competitive spirit?

At this moment, Yun Yao felt hot all over and couldn't help but tug at Xie Xingchen's sleeve.

Xie Xingchen sensed something was wrong, picked the person up by the waist, and headed towards the VIP passage.

Wen Yuhan wanted to follow, but was stopped by someone.

"Sorry, only VIP guests can use this route."

Yun Yao arched her head uncomfortably, her pink lips slightly parted as she breathed heavily, her eyes hazy, and her hands restlessly slipped inside Xie Xingchen's clothes.
