On the day of her return to China, she was tied up and coaxed by the richest man to get her marriage

Auction hall.

The guests were eagerly awaiting the auction of the Sea Star, whispering and discussing among themselves.

Upon seeing the figures of Si Qing, Bo Si, Bai Yu, and Jin Zhao, they seemed to be frozen in place, instantly falling silent.

What's going on tonight?

Not only did they see the aloof Bo Sibai, but even the elusive Master Si came.

Bo Sibai frowned and looked at Si Qing, his eyes narrowing coldly. "Si Qing, is there something you need?"

He remembered that Si Qing was a clean freak, liked quiet, and didn't like noisy environments like this.

His gaze swept over Yu Jinzhao, and realizing a certain possibility, his eyes gradually turned cold.

He and Yu Jinzhao sat side by side, while the surrounding seats for other guests were moved to the back.

Si Qing bent his long legs slightly, gripped the leather seat in front of him with one hand, turned around, and sat down upright, facing Yu Jinzhao squarely.

"Of course, I want to take a look at that jewel, the brightest and most dazzling Star of the Sea, which is known as the Queen of Jewelry."

The words sounded familiar.

Yu Jinzhao glanced at him.

The golden light of the hall shone on him, as if it were gilding him.

Despite being bathed in intense light, he appeared even colder, as if no amount of light could illuminate the icy darkness in his eyes.

Suddenly, I sensed that he seemed to be in a very bad mood.

The others, seeing Si Qing's actions, couldn't help but cover their mouths, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Master Si actually moved within a meter of the woman...

Moreover, they were sitting face-to-face. Was he not paying attention, or was he interested in Miss Yu?

Bo Sibai watched as he casually adopted a posture that was actually meticulously planned with every step. His legs were slightly open, facing Yu Jinzhao, and his hands were placed on his knees, as if he was making an invisible declaration of sovereignty.

His suspicions grew stronger, and his tone became increasingly cold and aloof.

“I remember you weren’t interested in jewelry.”

Si Qing flicked his fingers to push up his glasses, tilted his head slightly, and gave an unfathomable smile. "Oh, you're interested now."

Bo Sibai's breath hitched, and he wanted to remind him, but after glancing at Yu Jinzhao out of the corner of his eye, he held back.

Yu Jinzhao already regretted agreeing to let Bo Sibai come to see the Sea Star.

Who would have thought that Si Qing, who always hated noise, would come along!

As soon as she looked up, she was forced to meet his wild, broad, deep eyes, like a beast of the night staring at her, its prey.

Too dangerous!

She lowered her eyes, her gaze falling upon his gleaming leather boots, just half a meter from her toes, as if they might press against her at any moment, just like they had in the private room, leaving her with no way out.

The familiar sense of oppression returned, and the once abundant air seemed to become even more suffocating.

Suddenly, a box of macarons appeared in her line of sight.

It was handed to me by Bo Sibai.

He turned his head to look at her, his eyes shimmering like the scenery of a lake and mountains, his facial features soft and gentle, and his voice as pleasant as ever, "I heard that girls like to eat sweets. This is what I asked my assistant to prepare. Would you like to try some?"

Yu Jinzhao couldn't help but admire how considerate Bo Sibai was!

His every move was so much like her brother from back then!

When he spoke, she felt as if her brother hadn't changed, still the brother who used to pamper her.

She gave a soft "hmm," took a macaron from the box, and said gently, "Thank you, Young Master Bo."

Bo Sibai chuckled, looking completely relaxed. "We're friends now, so if you don't mind, call me Brother Sibai."

Yu Jinzhao said frankly, "Brother Sibai."

Bo Sibai's fingers tightened around the macaron box; that one word, "brother," made him feel completely disoriented.

It's as if through her, one can imagine that if her unborn younger sister hadn't died, she would be her age now, and would she also call him "brother" like this...

Yu Jinzhao caught a glimpse of sadness in Bo Sibai's eyes, and was about to speak when Si Qing's deep voice reached her ears.

"Sberge".

Yu Jinzhao almost choked on his saliva and looked at him in surprise.

Bo Sibai's thoughts were instantly interrupted, his eyes revealing an indescribable complexity, "Why are you calling me 'brother'?"

"Aren't you two months older than me?" Si Qing twirled the hairpin in his fingers, his knuckles white and strong, exuding a powerful and assertive aura.

Looking at him, one gets the strange feeling that when he calls Bo Sibai "brother," he seems to be placing himself below Bo Sibai, yet there's a sense of warning in his tone.

Yu Jinzhao's heart skipped a beat.

Was he warning Bo Sibai, or warning her?

Bo Sibai pursed his lips, but before he could speak, Si Qing leaned over, took a macaron from his hand, bit into his thin lips, and slowly began to chew.

Finally, he said meaningfully, "It tastes good, Brother Sibai."

Yu Jinzhao, “???”

what's the situation?

Isn't he the one who hates sweets the most?

Bo Sibai curled his lips, looked into the icy darkness in his eyes, realized the turbulent intentions behind his words, and said calmly.

"Eat more if you like."

Si Qing shook his head, his tone indifferent.

"What belongs to someone else, no matter how much you like it, you have to know when to stop."

These words sounded ordinary, but the underlying meaning was profound, and Bo Sibai understood.

As expected, Si Qing had ulterior motives towards Yu Jinzhao. He had a new wife, yet he still harbored inappropriate thoughts about other women.

They even had the nerve to warn him.

He wouldn't meddle with other women, but Yu Jinzhao was different. She resembled his aunt too much, and he couldn't let Si Qing hurt her.

Bo Sibai remained silent, his icy expression mirroring Si Qing's, as if he were about to strike at any moment.

In that instant, the already tense atmosphere in the auction hall, shrouded in their powerful aura, became even heavier.

Yu Jinzhao was completely confused, not understanding why the two of them suddenly became at odds during their conversation...

Aren't they good brothers?

They're like plastic brothers!

She glanced at Bo Sibai, then at Si Qing.

Both men were equally outstanding and the same height, but one was cold and the other ruthless, yet their auras were equally matched.

Don't panic, it's not a big problem.

As long as it has nothing to do with her, she can still handle it.

But the people around him, especially Bo Sibai's assistant and Yin Zhuo, who was with Si Qing.

Caught in a magnetic field where neither side was easy to mess with, the two deputies exchanged a glance; one's legs went weak, and the other's back broke out in a sweat.

This feeling is like walking on thin ice!

Fortunately, at that moment, a loud thud sounded from the auction stage, signaling the start of the Sea Star auction.

Everyone instinctively looked towards the stage, where the host presented the legendary "Sea Star," also known as the "Queen of Jewels."

The 30-carat blue gemstone, under the light, revealed a deep and beautiful ocean-like brilliance, sparkling and absolutely stunning.

With a starting bid of ten million, everyone began to bid vying for the prize.

Yu Jinzhao looked at Hai Zhixing with great affection. In the past, she would have spent all her pocket money to buy it without hesitation.

Such a pure sapphire is only seen once every two thousand years. Who wouldn't want to take it home to cherish and admire? It would be so prestigious to talk about it with others.

But she has a heavy workload right now, and she has to be careful with her money, so she can only suppress the urge to cut off her hands.

"Take a picture if you like it," Bo Sibai's gentle voice rang out.

She reluctantly withdrew her gaze, shaking her head slightly. "I like it, but it's unnecessary."

At this moment, thanks to the support of the guests, the Sea Star has already reached a bid of 20 million.

Suddenly, Bo Sibai raised his bidding paddle, and his cool, gentle voice rang out.

"thirty million."

The moment he spoke, everyone stopped abruptly and stared at him in astonishment.

Wasn't the Sea Star auctioned off by the Bo family? How come Bo Shao, as the organizer, ended up bidding on it himself?

Yu Jinzhao was also somewhat puzzled by Bo Sibai's actions. He turned to her with a gentle smile, and his warm, jade-like voice reached everyone's ears, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

Swish!

Everyone was shocked. Was Young Master Bo's affection for Miss Yu really that genuine?

He just casually gave away the priceless Ocean Star?

"Oh my god! I wish I could be Miss Yu!" A socialite couldn't help but scream softly, her envy and jealousy of Yu Jinzhao reaching its peak at this moment.

Yu Jinzhao was stunned for a few seconds, then met Bo Sibai Qianxia's gentle smile, which made him feel comfortable and warm.

She was flattered and hurriedly tried to refuse, but Bo Sibai knew what she was going to say and, without giving her a chance, continued,

"This is how I treat my friends. If you refuse, it means you don't want to be friends with me."

As he spoke, his eyelashes drooped, revealing a touch of red at the corner of his eye, making him look incredibly alluring, yet his tone was very low, "Then I will be very sad..."

she,"???"

So, is Bo Sibai so generous to his friends?

She awkwardly crossed her legs and said instinctively, "But we just met, this gift is too expensive..."

"This is my personal habit, and I hope you can accept it."

Bo Sibai's expression was extremely sincere, so sincere that it seemed as if refusing him would be an utterly immoral thing to do.

The others watching were already screaming in their hearts!

Using friends as an excuse to send gifts, Mr. Bo is really something else!

What kind of friend would give you such an expensive sapphire? Mr. Bo, you're too enamored with it!

But only Yu Jinzhao understood that Bo Sibai had no other thoughts about her. His clear and bright eyes could not lie. He genuinely wanted to befriend her, and it had nothing to do with romantic feelings.

She didn't want to miss the opportunity to get to know him, not only for the sake of her career, but also because of the older brother feeling he gave her.

It really was like meeting an old friend at first sight.

She thought for a moment and said seriously, "I didn't prepare a gift for our meeting today. Next time I prepare one, you can't refuse it."

No reward for no merit.

Even if Bo Sibai was genuinely giving her a gift as a token of their meeting, she wouldn't take advantage of it.

Between friends, it's a give-and-take relationship.

Seeing how serious she was, Bo Sibai couldn't help but smile more deeply. The gentle light in his eyes became even more tender, with a kind of broken beauty. Those lights made him seem even more incredibly gentle.

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Yu Jinzhao was stunned by his smile. How could he be so gentle?

Suddenly, I felt that Bo Sibai looked a lot like her mother...

Bo Sibai breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that Yu Jinzhao believed him.

He knew very well that this gift was too valuable and was afraid that she would think he had ulterior motives.

He didn't want to scare her or make her wary of him.

However, seeing the way she looked at Hai Zhixing with such affection, he completely lost control, and the only time he ever lost his composure in his life was for her.

Perhaps it was because she resembled his aunt; her age always reminded him of his unborn sister whom he had longed to see grow up but never had the chance to be with.

Therefore, he had a strange and special feeling for her. He always felt that she was a sister from a parallel universe, a gift from heaven, so that he could make amends and repay her.

Being kind to her is a form of emotional support.

Seeing this, Yin Zhuo's entire back was soaked with sweat.

No one dared to look at Si Qing, except for him, who could feel an indescribable sense of danger emanating from Si Qing at close range.

He turned pale with fright, and the little voice inside him was frantically shaking Yu Jinzhao's arm, shouting, "Madam, you're playing with fire!"

Sure enough, the next second, Si Qing's deep voice rang out.

"Fifty million."

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire venue seemed to be pushed to the forefront, creating a magnificent and turbulent scene!
