After three days of recovery and rest, Shen Linyue's health has improved significantly.
The auction was held in the afternoon, and the makeup and styling team that He Liyu had contacted arrived at her home very early. Shen Linyue sat in front of the mirror for two or three hours at a time.
This includes choosing the dress and style to wear.
Finally, a girl in a pink lace dress and high heels appeared before everyone. Her thick, slightly wavy long hair was draped behind her, and her small face with delicate makeup made her look like a princess from a fairy tale, which was a sight to behold.
"Miss Lin Yue is simply like a goddess descended to earth! Your beauty has illuminated the entire living room," Butler Xiao Bo exclaimed exaggeratedly.
Shen Linyue smiled shyly and was about to thank him when a discordant voice rang out from the right front.
"Your face is painted so white, it's whiter than a dead person who's been dead for three days. Uncle Xiao, you should pay special attention to your eyes during your next physical exam." The boy leaned lazily against the wall, lifted his eyelids and glanced at the girl's face, paused almost imperceptibly, and then snorted with disgust.
Shen Linyue: "..." Can't this brat even speak properly? It's just that we didn't take him to the auction, is it really necessary to throw such a tantrum?
She took a deep breath to suppress the urge to rush up and give He Xiao a good beating.
"Oh, oh, oh, now you know how to throw a tantrum like a young master? Who was it that refused to attend with us in the first place?" Shen Linyue crossed her arms, unable to maintain her elegance in the slightest.
She perfectly mimicked the sour expression He Xiao had given her the day before yesterday when he rejected her.
"An auction? What a boring thing. I have an appointment, so I won't get involved." The young man was playing around and didn't even look up.
Shen Linyue never mentioned it again, but who would have thought that when he learned she was going today, he immediately changed his mind.
He Xiao listened to her repeating what he had said yesterday in a sarcastic tone: "..."
"Bullshit, that's not how I look!" the boy retorted angrily.
Shen Linyue wasn't about to back down either, so she put her hands on her hips and said aggressively, "Fine, then look at my face and say it again, am I ugly or beautiful?"
He Xiao pursed his lips, his gaze falling on Shen Linyue's tense, defiant face. In the end, he gave in and mumbled, "...So-so."
Ms. Shen is undoubtedly the most beautiful person. If she weren't beautiful, how could she have given birth to someone as handsome as him in the future?
He Xiao was slightly annoyed, but also regretted saying those unlucky things without thinking.
After thinking for a moment, he lowered his voice, turned his face away, and said more clearly and quickly than before: "You have a good foundation to begin with, you don't need to use these external things to show it off..."
He glanced at her again before finally saying what was on his mind: "I'm sorry, you're very beautiful."
Shen Linyue was amused by his cautious manner, and he kept observing her expression as he spoke, afraid that she might be dissatisfied.
However, Shen Linyue had no intention of letting him off so easily. With a cold face, she walked forward without saying a word. Under the increasingly uneasy gaze of the boy, she raised an eyebrow and said in a serious tone.
"Okay, then you say 'Pui pui pui' three times first."
He Xiao was puzzled, but hesitantly followed suit.
Then, as soon as she finished speaking, the girl who had been serious immediately broke into a smile, like a flower blooming brightly and beautifully.
"Alright, what you said earlier doesn't count anymore," she said, standing on tiptoe and forcefully ruffling the boy's head, as if venting her dissatisfaction. She ruffled his hair so hard that it became a mess. "You're not allowed to say things you don't mean anymore, understand? When you see me, you have to tell me I'm good-looking!"
He Xiao: "..."
Although I don't understand, she must have her reasons for saying that.
The moment she withdrew her hand, the boy frowned, his eyes noticing a few strands of his hair on her slender fingers hidden behind her back!
"I understand." The boy pursed his lips, deciding to pretend nothing had happened.
Shen Linyue coughed lightly, looked away, and reminded him, "Don't forget to protect yourself when you're out with friends."
"Hmm..." The boy couldn't help but rub his head.
The butler, who witnessed the two arguing and then making up, was speechless. :)
...
He Liyu wasn't home, so Shen Linyue arrived at the banquet venue alone in his Rolls-Royce.
As soon as he got out of the car, He Liyu, dressed in a sharp black suit, appeared outside. His hair was all styled with hair gel, revealing a smooth and full forehead. His features were handsome and deep, with distinct contours. Compared to his usual self, he had a more serious and aloof demeanor.
Shen Linyue saw him pause for a moment, then her surprise was immediately apparent: "I thought I'd have to wait for you for a while!"
He Liyu's gaze swept over her quickly, and his cool and aloof eyes gradually softened with a gentle smile. His demeanor changed abruptly, becoming elegant and refined.
He naturally took her outstretched hand and helped her out of the car.
"Yes, I came straight over as soon as I finished taking care of it. I didn't keep you waiting long," he said with a faint smile.
Shen Linyue was almost dazzled by his smile, so she quickly looked away to steady herself and placed her hand on his arm.
"Did things go smoothly?" The girl smiled, her smile as bright as the sun.
He Liyu's eyes darkened slightly, and he nodded gently.
While the two were chatting, they were led into the auction venue by a waiter.
There is a free period before the auction begins, during which you can tour the surrounding collection.
He Liyu would run into someone he knew every few steps, and acquaintances would come up to chat with him, all about business matters, which Shen Linyue couldn't understand.
While she was feeling bored, a familiar, slender figure came into her view.
Before she could react, her vision was blocked by two figures, one tall and one thin.
"Mr. He, I've long admired your name." The man's voice was low, husky, and magnetic.
Shen Linyue's eyelashes trembled slightly as her gaze rose to meet the beautiful woman and the handsome stranger.
She didn't know the man, but she knew the woman.
She's a very popular female celebrity recently, and I've even watched her dramas!
However, she remained reserved when she was with He Liyu, and did not lose her composure to call out the woman's name. However, the excited smile on her face betrayed her true feelings.
The man smiled kindly at her, "It seems Miss Lin is quite the fan of Xiao Yu."
Hearing the man mention her, Shen Linyue reluctantly turned her gaze back to the man's smiling face. For some reason, this face always felt familiar to her, yet she couldn't quite place it.
"Has the address for Mr. Wen's company been chosen?" He Liyu said with a faint smile, "If needed, you can contact my assistant. Most of the office buildings in the bustling downtown area belong to the He Group. I might be able to help."
Upon hearing the surname Wen, Shen Linyue's brow twitched, and she immediately remembered where she had seen this face before.
Those distinctive fox-like eyes were unforgettable; he was from Jiang Jinyu's family.
Once she understood, Shen Linyue's gaze changed, and she suppressed her doubts only after watching He Liyu and the Wen family interact happily.
"Ms. Lin, may we take a photo together?" Actress Zhu Yu asked gently with a smile.
