Chapter 151 So you're agreeing to let me be a co-guardian of the baby?
After completing the task assigned by Madam Jin, Sang Qian spent the rest of her time admiring the treasures.
Having finally managed to push his grandmother away, Jin Changyu shoved the sign back into her hand, saying, "Don't just look at it; if you like something, raise your sign and take a picture."
Sang Qian handed the sign back to him, saying, "I don't need it."
The starting bids for the following auctions are all in the tens of millions; she's not going to spend that kind of money.
Just enjoy the view for now.
Jin Changyu could tell that she was worried about her own savings. "I'll pay for it, and you can keep the stuff."
Upon hearing this, Sang Qian threw the sign back at him, saying, "I don't want it, don't buy it for me."
Seeing the woman who was afraid of being associated with him if she accepted his gift, Jin Changyu sighed inwardly but didn't force her to say anything.
"OK."
The two watched quietly as the two items were sold.
The next item to be displayed was a white jade goddess statue, a piece from the imperial court.
Starting bid: 12 million.
From the moment this jade statue, with its translucent white jade texture and exquisite carving, was displayed, Sang Qian's gaze never left it.
People started raising their placards one after another.
The price jumped from 12 million to 26 million.
When the host asked a second time if there were any more bids, Sang Qian couldn't help but look at the bidder who had offered 26 million.
There sat a couple in their thirties over there; judging from their appearance, they were a married couple.
The man was holding up a sign, and next to him sat a noble and dignified woman who was smiling at him with happiness in her eyes. She even leaned in and gave him a kiss as a reward.
Sang Qian felt that the happiness in her eyes was not because she was about to receive such an expensive treasure, but because the man was willing to bid a high price for her.
After all, 26 million is a very high price for this jade statue.
If it weren't for loving the other person, why would you be willing to spend this money?
"26 million for the third time..."
Before the host could finish speaking, a calm and magnetic voice rang out, "30 million."
Sang Qian's pupils dilated, and she suddenly looked at Jin Changyu, who was holding up the sign, "You've also taken a liking to this jade statue?"
"Um."
Sang Qian was surprised, "You also like collecting this type of antique?"
Jin Changyu looked at her and said, "I plan to buy it as a gift for my baby."
His baby?
Sang Qian looked down at her belly, then looked at him with great confusion, "You bought an antique for... the baby?"
"Um."
"..."
Sang Qian really didn't know what he was thinking.
Babies only like toys, right?
He gave a little baby a piece of jade antique??
Is it okay for a baby to throw things while playing, or to bite things while teething?
After asking the price three times, the host on stage announced, "Sold for 30 million."
Sang Qian glanced at the stage, then at Jin Changyu, "Jin Changyu, the child isn't even born yet, you, you really are..."
I have too much money and nowhere to spend it.
"So, you now own this jade statue."
Sang Qian paused for a moment, then looked at him inquisitively. "What do you mean?"
"You are the baby's guardian. The baby hasn't been born yet, so of course their things belong to you, the mother."
Sang Qian frowned slightly, "Jin Changyu, don't be like this."
Saying it's for the baby, isn't this just a disguised way of giving it to her?
Jin Changyu looked completely innocent. "What did I do wrong?"
Sang Qian stared at him for a moment with a stern face, "Fine, since you said it's for the baby, then you can keep it for the baby yourself."
Jin Changyu raised an eyebrow. "So you're agreeing to let me be a co-guardian of the baby?"
Sang Qian's expression changed, and she said urgently, "You wish."
"Then you want me to inherit the baby's property?"
"I……"
Sang Qian couldn't argue with him, so she turned her face away and said, "In short, I won't accept it."
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to accept it, I'll keep it for the baby, is that alright?"
Jin Changyu gently tugged at her hand, turning her face back. "Don't be angry, okay?"
Sang Qian: "I'm not angry."
only……
Her mind was still a mess, and she hadn't figured out how they should get along in the days to come, so she instinctively wanted to reject his advances.
Fearing she would be unhappy, Jin Changyu behaved himself afterward and didn't hold up a sign to bid on other items.
*
The two left the auction around 5 p.m.
“It’s almost dinner time. How about we go to that Chinese restaurant in the central square for dinner? We can stroll around the square afterwards,” Jin Changyu suggested.
"I'm not going."
That place is usually where couples go on dates, why did he ask her to go there again?
Thinking of this, Sang Qian suddenly realized something.
Jin Changyu took her to a restaurant with such an atmosphere that time, and afterwards he took her to stroll around the square. Isn't that the usual routine for a couple's date?
"Why not go? Didn't you say last time that the restaurant had a great atmosphere and good food?"
After Jin Changyu finished speaking, he noticed that the woman had stopped and was looking at him with a strange expression.
"What's wrong? Why...why are you looking at me like that?"
Sang Qian didn't answer his question. She collected her thoughts, took a deep breath, and continued walking forward, only saying, "I don't want to eat at that restaurant today."
“Then we can go to other restaurants to eat.” Jin Changyu strode after him, still trying to catch up. “There are many restaurants over there with a good atmosphere and good food.”
"I don't want to eat, I want to go home."
"...Okay, let's go home."
The two walked towards the parking lot, the man following beside the woman, tentatively asking, "How about I cook tonight? What would you like to eat?"
"I only want to eat the food that Aunt Li cooks."
"……oh."
The man's voice was filled with deep disappointment.
Sang Qian pretended not to see it and didn't look at his expression.
Finally, the two got into the car and went home.
That night, Sang Qian couldn't fall asleep. Her mind was filled with memories of the past two years she had spent with Jin Changyu, as well as the changes he had undergone in the months since they started living together after their divorce.
Actually... during those two years, although he was busy and indifferent, Sang Qian still felt that he... liked her to some extent.
Even though he lacked time to spend with her, he never mistreated her in any other way.
Especially the intense, unwavering look in his eyes whenever he kissed her or lost control in bed…
That intense heat was completely different from his calm and self-possessed demeanor during the day.
But after hearing him say he would choose Zhou Yunshuang that day, her self-esteem, along with her hopes for him, were shattered.
She felt she was just imagining things; his attraction to her was at most based on physical attraction.
Sang Qian closed her eyes and pulled herself out of her thoughts.
If what Madam Jin said today is true, then what he is doing now is a genuine attempt to salvage their marriage.
This man is really something.
She finally managed to cut ties with the past and start anew.
Why did he have to try to re-enter her world after she had made new plans for her new life?
Sang Qian felt increasingly confused as she thought about it.
I simply pulled the blanket over my head, forced myself to sleep, and tried not to think about it.
