Jian Yixue was startled by Ye Mohan's sudden action and was about to reprimand him.

Ye Mohan's hands then began to move restlessly.

A surge of uncontrollable emotion welled up within Jian Yixue, and she collapsed into Ye Mohan's arms.

Her eyes even became glazed over.

When emotions run deep, they sometimes utter words that are difficult to explain.

Ye Mohan naturally noticed Jian Yixue's emotional change, and upon seeing this, he became even more excited, as if he had taken a stimulant.

Hearing the unconscious sounds coming from Jian Yixue's mouth, the corners of her mouth turned up, her smile became even brighter, and the emotions in her eyes burned fiercely, as if they could burn the entire plain to ashes.

Overwhelmed by passion, Ye Mohan buried his head in Jian Yixue's neck. His barely audible breathing completely shattered Jian Yixue's will, and the expression on her face revealed that she thoroughly enjoyed the moment.

Ye Mohan, who had initially maintained some rationality, gradually lost control of his willpower after receiving Jian Yixue's cooperation and response, and only wanted to succumb to Jian Yixue's gentle embrace.

At this moment, he finally understood why so many men would rather spend a lot of time on women. This experience opened up a new world for Ye Mohan.

Ye Mohan became increasingly unable to control himself, his mouth close to Jian Yixue's neck, kissing her snow-white skin little by little, leaving some obvious hickeys wherever he went.

Even so, Ye Mohan still felt it wasn't enough. The strange sensation in a certain part of his body revealed the uncontrollable desire in his heart, burning his blood fiercely.

The hand that was holding Jian Yixue's full breasts seemed no longer satisfied with staying there, and one hand quietly explored into the hem of Jian Yixue's skirt.

Her hand reached the hem of the skirt and pulled Jian Yixue's skirt up slightly.

The intense heat on Jian Yixue's thighs further fueled Ye Mohan's adrenaline surge.

Jian Yixue was like a melted block of ice, leaning softly against Ye Mohan, her willpower growing weaker and weaker.

When Jian Yixue sensed Ye Mohan's actions, she suddenly regained a sliver of her lost rationality, immediately clamping her legs together and pleading for mercy with a mixture of lust and a dazed look.

"No, Mo Han."

Upon hearing Jian Yixue's voice, Ye Mohan regained his senses, withdrew his hand, and placed it back on Jian Yixue's high breasts... Realizing his loss of control, he felt somewhat regretful.

He almost regretted it for the rest of his life if Jian Yixue hadn't spoken up to stop him.

Even if he were to take care of Jian Yixue ahead of schedule, he wouldn't want to be here.

He hoped that when the two of them recalled their first time, it would be a beautiful memory!

"I'm sorry," Ye Mohan said.

Jian Yixue shook her head, regaining some composure. "Mo Han, there's no need to apologize. I'm your wife, and I appreciate what you're doing, but I don't want our first time to happen here."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements when we get back."

Ye Mohan hugged Jian Yixue even tighter.

After a long while, the two calmed their restless desires before getting up and heading to Ye Mohan's private room.

——

On the other side, Jiang Xuanjin, who had just finished negotiating with Ye Mohan, stepped out of the private room and heard his subordinates report that Jian Yixue was missing.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuanjin immediately left Ye Mohan's private room and returned to his own.

Upon entering the private room and seeing that it was empty, Jiang Xuanjin realized that she had indeed run away.

He sat down on the sofa where the two of them had previously sat together, his eyes fixed on the bodyguard with icy anger.

"What happened?"

The bodyguard, already worried that Jiang Xuanjin would kill him when he learned that Jian Yixue was missing, stood there motionless in fear.

Upon hearing Jiang Xuanjin speak again, she immediately knelt down in fright and begged for mercy, explaining, "Not long after you left, Miss Yi Xue opened the door and said that she had an upset stomach and needed to go to the bathroom."

So my subordinates followed Miss Yi Xue to the restroom. I stood guard at the door. Miss Yi Xue went in and didn't come out for a long time. When I rushed in, Miss Yi Xue was gone. I immediately came back and asked the brothers to look for her.

"Mr. Jin, I'm so sorry, it's my fault."

Jiang Xuanjin's expression grew increasingly displeased upon hearing this, and the suppressed anger in his eyes made him appear extremely irritable.

"And then what happened?"

The bodyguard lowered his head even further, filled with fear and anxiety. "We haven't found it yet. The brothers are searching all over the auction house, but manpower is limited..."

The bodyguards behind him didn't say it aloud, but Jiang Xuanjin knew what it meant.

After hearing the bodyguard's words, Jiang Xuanjin picked up the expensive teacup on the table next to him and threw it at the bodyguard.

"You good-for-nothing, get out of here! Go back and receive your punishment!"

At this moment, he showed none of the gentle tenderness he displayed in front of Jian Yixue; instead, he was cold-blooded, ruthless, and cruel.

Upon hearing this, the bodyguard's face turned completely pale, but he dared not say anything more to plead for mercy.

He knew that this was the true Jin Ye, only in front of Miss Yi Xue did Jin Ye hide all his gloom and cold-bloodedness.

The bodyguard got up and left the private room, returning to the door to wait for orders. He would have to finish his business here before going back to receive his punishment.

Inside the private room, Jiang Xuanjin waved to someone behind him.

Upon seeing this, the trusted aide immediately approached Jiang Xuanjin respectfully, "Master Jin, what are your orders?"

"Liu Nian, do you think I shouldn't go looking for her anymore? She wanted to escape from me so much. If I kept her by my side, would she really be that unhappy?"

Jiang Xuanjin looked ahead, and asked with some anxiety.

At that moment, he truly didn't know what to do and felt somewhat lost.

Jiang Xuanjin, who had been suppressing his anger with a gloomy expression, now looked dejected, like a discarded plaything.

Liu Nian, who was standing to the side, was clearly taken aback by the question.

He was an orphan whom Master Jin picked up from the streets, and he was prepared to spend his whole life by Master Jin's side, serving him with his life.

In this precarious life, surrounded by enemies, he never even considered matters of the heart.

He also dared not have any romantic relationships, fearing that the tragedy that had befallen him would repeat itself.

If he hadn't met Master Jin, he probably would have frozen to death in that cold winter without anyone noticing.

For a moment, Liu Nian didn't know how to comfort the dejected Master Jin, so she could only speak her mind.

"I've never been in a relationship, but if it were me, I would definitely fight for it. Who knows what will happen in the end? At least I won't have any regrets when I think about it later."

Jiang Xuanjin looked utterly dejected. In a daze, he heard Liu Nian's words and, like a drowning person grasping at a straw, his previously dim eyes seemed to have gained some newfound determination.

His eyes lit up, and hope appeared on his face!

It's not the final step yet, so nobody knows the outcome!

Don't give up easily!
