Everyone in Beijing knows that Xiao XueZheng, the heir to a wealthy family, is pure-hearted and self-disciplined. At twenty-eight, he has never had a woman by his side, leading many to question his...
Chapter 432: Dad, did you make Mom angry?
He walked to the door, and his deep dark eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses stared at the two of them.
He raised his hand and pulled Shi Runrun to his side.
The man's voice was cold as he asked, "What are you doing?"
The calm words were filled with a chill that made one's heart tremble.
Shi Runrun staggered as he pulled her, and barely managed to steady herself by holding onto the wall. Before she could react, she suddenly heard this cold question.
Shi Runrun was stunned and reacted slowly for a moment.
Could it be that Xiao Xue Zheng is doubting her?
She clenched her hands tightly, took a deep breath, and said in a calm tone, her voice trembling slightly, "It was just an accident."
Xiao Xuezheng, do you believe me?
She raised her head, her eyes fixed on the tall and handsome man, with a glimmer of hope amidst her burning anger.
Xiao Xuezheng sighed helplessly, "Let's go."
He took Shi Runrun away from the scene and went to a private room. As soon as the door opened, Yanyan threw herself into Shi Runrun's arms holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Mom, Yanyan misses you so much."
Soon after, Fengfeng and Weilai also came over.
Shi Runrun has been busy with school and work during this period, and she really can't take care of the children. Coupled with the grievances she just suffered, under the double blow, her eyes couldn't help but become moist.
Yanyan held her hand and asked softly, "Mom, are you sad?"
Fengfeng looked at Xiao Xuezheng behind him, "Dad, did you make Mom unhappy?"
Wei Li snorted coldly, "Dad, as a punishment, you can't go home today."
"That won't work."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xuezhen and Shi Runrun said the same thing.
The two looked at each other, and finally burst into laughter.
Xiao Xuezheng took Shi Runrun's hand and said, "Wife, I'm sorry for neglecting you during this period. Tell me, how should I punish you?"
Shi Runrun curled her lips and said, "Transfer money."
"Okay, I'll turn around right away. I'll take you guys out for something delicious when you're done, okay?"
"Great, great! Time to eat something delicious!"
In the evening, Shi Runrun dressed up a little and went to a charity dinner with Xiao Xuezhen.
The dinner was decorated in a luxurious and elegant manner. Many celebrities gathered there, and flashing lights were flashing everywhere in the hall.
Seeing Xiao Xuezhen and Shi Runrun arriving together, everyone was filled with surprise, and flash cameras went off one after another.
Afterwards, people kept coming up to greet Xiao Xuezhen and Shi Runrun.
Xiao Xue Zheng handled it with ease, and Shi Runrun nodded with a smile on her face. This went on for a while, and by the time the auction started, her face was almost stiff from smiling.
"How do you feel?" After entering the inner venue and sitting in the front row, Xiao Xue Zheng moved slightly closer to her and handed her the auction brochure to read.
Shi Runrun took it, looked down at it, and replied insincerely, "Not bad."
Seeing this, Xiao Xuezheng's eyes flashed with joy, and he asked, "Is there anything you like? I'll give it to you."
Shi Runrun didn't want anything. "Just buy that vase for your aunt. I don't need anything..."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at the auction book and suddenly paused.
It was a necklace carved with lilies, exquisitely crafted and elegant.
Shi Runrun liked it at first sight, but after glancing at the price, she silently turned the page.
Xiao Xuezheng had been watching, and when he saw this, his eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he called out to Shi Runrun, "The auction has begun."
Shi Runrun collected the auction book and looked at the auction table with him seriously and attentively.
There were some small gadgets in the front to liven up the atmosphere, and they were quickly snapped up.
It was not until halftime that the entire auction became a little lively, and often one auction item would attract competition from at least ten people.
As soon as the celadon official kiln vase that Xiao Shujing wanted came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the entire audience.
Shi Runrun sat aside, quietly watching the vase being bought by Xiao Xuezheng at a high price, and then he said softly to Xiao Xuezheng, "Shall we go?"
Xiao Xuezheng glanced at her and replied, "Wait a moment, there's another item I want to buy."
"Huh?" Shi Runrun was slightly stunned, recalling the auction catalogue just now. He didn't expect that there would be anything that would interest him.
At this moment, Xiao Xuezheng suddenly smiled and raised his chin to signal the stage, "Here we come."
Shi Runrun turned his head and was stunned.
Because the item being auctioned this time happened to be the necklace she had her eyes on!
The host spoke in a flurry of praise, and finally said, "The starting price is one million, and each increment must be no less than two hundred thousand!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xuezheng raised his sign and said, "Two million!"
The price increase was one million at a time, which clearly showed his determination to win.
Shi Runrun stared blankly, and suddenly a vague guess came to her mind that the necklace was taken for her.
But how could this be possible? She hadn't said it out loud, but he had noticed it?
Does this mean that he has actually been secretly paying attention to me?
For a moment, her heart was filled with complex emotions, and she couldn't even tell whether she was happy or not...
When Shi Runrun came to her senses, the necklace had been bid up to three million. Her face tensed slightly, and she hurriedly pulled him, "Xiao Xuezheng, stop bidding..."
Xiao Xuezheng lowered his eyes to look at her, his expression somewhat gentle, and said slowly, "It's okay."
Seeing that persuasion didn't work, Shi Runrun had no choice but to give up.
Then she thought, maybe she was just overthinking it, and he didn't give it to her?
But in the end, this necklace, which was bought at an extremely high price, was handed to Shi Runrun by Xiao Xuezhen himself.
Looking at the beautifully packaged box in front of her, Shi Runrun's mind went blank.
Xiao Xuezheng stared at her deeply, "Shi Runrun, this is for you."
Flashes of light flashed all around, and many media reporters looked over here, wondering what would be the headlines for tomorrow.
After Xiao Xue Zheng took the picture of the necklace, he did not stay any longer and pulled Shi Runrun away in front of everyone.
In the car, Shi Runrun took the box containing the necklace and wanted to give it to Xiao Xuezhen.
Xiao Xuezheng's face darkened slightly, and he didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Why? You don't like it?"
Shi Runrun looked at him deeply and shook her head gently, "Don't get me wrong, I like it very much, but this thing is too valuable, you don't have to give it to me..."
"You are my wife, my wife!" Before she could finish, the man interrupted her in a low voice, even a little overbearing, "If I don't give it to you, who else can I give it to?"
"If you like it, just keep it, okay?" He picked up the gift box and opened it, revealing the necklace inside. His tone softened. He had finally found something that could please her, so how could he let her return it?
Shi Runrun's eyes flickered and she avoided his gentle gaze.
Xiao Xuezheng took out the necklace and leaned towards her. "How about I put it on for you and try it out?"
