Han Yue is a round-faced girl. To be honest, Bian Xiao was a little shocked at first glance because Han Yue didn't resemble Allen at all.

However, Bian Xiao didn't care about Allen's affairs. She thought Han Yue was a nice person and liked her quite a bit. She was a very innocent girl and was two months younger than Bian Xiao.

Moreover, she could sense the contempt Anne and her siblings held for Han Yue. After all, most people couldn't accept that an ordinary person like Han Yue was on equal footing with them—a common problem among the old foreign aristocracy.

Therefore, Bian Xiao inevitably had to take care of Han Yue.

The necklace has a simple design, and the pink diamonds are cute and lively, which suits Han Yue very well. Bian Xiao intentionally brought her into the conversation.

"Then I'll write this down." Allen nodded in agreement.

Before Han Yue could react, she instinctively shook her head, wanting to refuse—it was too expensive.

She wasn't stupid. What could be so bad about a gathering of this caliber? The crown worn by the crown princess at her wedding, the emperor's collection—these were all rare treasures of the time. If she earned ten thousand a month, she'd probably have to start working from the Tang Dynasty to afford the jewels on the necklace.

Fried patted his sister's hand, giving her a look that signaled her not to go too far. After all, she was Allen's date. Even if she was jealous, it wasn't a reason for her to act recklessly.

Anne knew when to stop, but not out of consideration for Allen; she didn't believe this playboy could stay with this ordinary Chinese girl forever. She only ended her subtle aversion because of Della's attitude towards the girl.

"I like this one!" Bian Xiao spotted an incense bottle with blue gemstones adorning its white and gold body, making it ornate and elaborate.

When Norris heard that his daughter had finally found a bottle she liked, his mood brightened, and he smiled slightly, turning the ring on his hand that matched Bian Yin's.

Han Yue saw the people in the room casually assigning ownership to these exquisite and expensive items, just like elementary school students dividing up apples.

"What about all of these that you don't like?" Han Yue asked Bian Xiao quietly, somewhat curious.

“These will be auctioned off by the auction house,” Bian Xiao replied.

She thought Allen would be like the CEOs in TV dramas and novels, taking her to the mall and saying things like he'd book the whole place for her.

As it turns out, she never even set foot in any luxury shopping malls.

Han Yue told Bian Xiao about her previous thoughts, which made Bian Xiao laugh and wave his hand repeatedly, "There are no good things in the mall. Apart from going out with friends, if we really want something good, we have to find someone to deliver it to our door."

"Yes," Han Yue thought to herself. Just like Alan and Della, they always pick the best things first, and only after they've chosen are they sent to the auction house. What the world sees are the leftovers that they don't like.

If Allen hadn't brought her here, she would never have known that these treasures were just ordinary things in their collection room, meant to be admired only occasionally when they had some free time.

As the banquet ended, Han Yue, arm in arm with Allen, watched the girl happily talking to her father before getting into the car.

"Della is such a nice person." Han Yue looked at the girl, feeling a little reluctant to part with her.

She hadn't been this happy in a long time; there were hardly any people around her to talk to.

"She's like a little sun, a little angel," Han Yue heard Allen say softly.

Han Yue mustered her courage, looked up at Allen, and said, "I've found it."

Allen nodded casually with his eyes closed. "Found something?"

“Della and I have somewhat similar eyes,” Han Yue said, looking down. “It’s not obvious now, but I’ve seen her before, right when we first met…”

Allen opened his eyes.

... (The storyline of Allen has completely ended; there will be a side story later.)

In the second half, Bian Xiao picked out a lot of good items. "Daddy, what's going on with the Medler family?" Tonight was practically a division of their entire collection.

Norris poured Bian Xiao a glass of water. "Slow down, baby." His cheeks were flushed from the wine, like little apples.

"Okay~" Bian Xiao gulped it down, then stared at his father with wide, bright eyes.

"Didn't your brother go to Mivaro before? He was with Walter and the others. There was no one to carry on the family business, so they declared bankruptcy and had to sell off their assets to pay off their debts."

Oh, Bian Xiao understands now. No wonder the stuff tonight was "worthless." Since it was used to pay off debts after bankruptcy, that makes sense.

"It's okay, anyway I got something good~" Then she happily started singing, "Tina!"

Bian Xiao suddenly remembered something, "You have a Greek laurel wreath, have Rachel make a small one for Nuannuan."

“Yes, Miss.” Tina noted it down.

Back home, Bian Xiao abandoned his father, took a bath for a while, and then quickly went back to his bedroom.

The antiques I was just admiring are now completely forgotten.

I dialed Bian Yin's video call, and his face took up the entire screen.

He grins broadly whenever he sees his mother, "Mommy!" He's full of energy after his bath.

"Hey baby! Mommy's here!" Bian Yin put down her work as soon as she received her daughter's video call, and looked at her daughter with a smile. "Did you have fun with Daddy today? I heard him say you picked out a lot of things."

"I'm so happy!" Bian Xiao nodded. "And today I met a girl. She's Allen's new girlfriend, blah blah blah." Just like when he was a child, Bian Xiao would share any new things with his mother.

Bian Yin listened attentively, not finding it boring or meaningless at all. Compared to the hundreds of millions of documents at her side, Bian Yin felt that her daughter's desire to share was the most crucial thing. She would occasionally exaggerate and praise her precious daughter, for example, "Wow! Our baby is so amazing! She even noticed this. Mommy kisses her."

Then Bian Yin could see his daughter smiling with her eyes narrowed, waving her hand modestly, but the upturned corners of her mouth could not hide her little pride.

Bian Yin couldn't get enough of looking at her adorable face.

After saying a few words to Han Yue, Bian Xiao moved on to the next topic. The mother and daughter chatted for an hour and a half, being all lovey-dovey, before Bian Xiao finally ended the video call.

After watching Blue Whale Video for a while and even using a secondary account to browse Lai Lai's live stream, Bian Xiao suddenly remembered the persimmon novel that Lai Lai had mentioned.

Since she had nothing else to do, she decided to download it and take a look.

This download count is quite high?

Hey, Dou? It's the same company as Blue Whale!

No, doesn't that mean it's still ours?

Bian Xiao said there are too many industries for her to remember!

After registering, she was on the familiar page again. Bian Xiao decisively chose the female-oriented section and entered the part she hated the most.

I'm so fed up with having to name every app. Bian Xiao couldn't think of a name, so he just called it "User" and then entered the female-oriented main page.
