Although the man was wearing a pure black mask that only covered half of his face, his pure and flawless purple eyes still allowed people to tell who the person was at a glance. Jiang Nuan was so scared that she hid in Fu Yanci's arms.
Fu Yanci, who was chatting with others, was a little confused, but still cooperated and hugged Jiang Nuan in his arms.
"What's wrong?"
Everyone who had been chatting with Fu Yanci smiled knowingly, then started jokingly saying, "It seems like Mr. Fu is very lucky. He has such a beautiful and clingy girlfriend. He's really blessed."
Jiang Nuan did not answer Fu Yanci's question, but cautiously stuck her head out of Fu Yanci's arms to steal a peek at Gu Shiqing's figure.
Why did Gu Shiqing come to Country Z? Was he here to arrest me again? Wait, why should I be afraid of Gu Shiqing? I'm in Country Z now. Can Gu Shiqing arrest me like he did in Country M? Country Z is a society ruled by law.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nuan relaxed and her expression was no longer so stiff.
She even glared at Gu Shiqing, who had been staring at her with smiling eyes. Gu Shiqing raised his eyebrows and made a clear mouth gesture to Jiang Nuan: Fiancée, I'm here to find you.
Fu Yanci followed her gaze, but Gu Shiqing had already disappeared from that place, so Fu Yanci thought that Jiang Nuan saw Mo Wanning.
"Nuannuan, I didn't know she was coming. I didn't see her name on the invitation list. I guess my mom brought her here. If you mind, let's leave here now."
"ah?"
Jiang Nuan looked at Fu Yanci with a confused expression. She didn't quite understand what Fu Yanci was saying.
It wasn't until Mo Wanning walked up to them and greeted them with a smile that Jiang Nuan realized that Fu Yanci had misunderstood.
"Yanci, Nuannuan, you are here too?"
"Um."
Fu Yanci ignored Mo Wanning indifferently. Jiang Nuan looked at Mo Wanning's stiff expression and didn't want to make the situation too awkward, so she nodded in response.
Mo Wanning glanced at Fu Yanci unwillingly, wanting to say something more, but Fu Yanci had already lowered his head and said to Jiang Nuan, "The auction is about to start. Let's go over and sit down."
"good."
Xu Jinhe, who was standing not far away, couldn't bear it anymore, so he walked over and pulled Mo Wanning to sit not far from Fu Yanci and Jiang Nuan, then patted Mo Wanning's hand and comforted her.
"Wan Ning, calm down. Yan Ci will be yours sooner or later. He's just been blinded by a demon, just like his father was. In the end, wasn't it me who became the wife of the Fu family? The same goes for you. Do you understand?"
"I, I understand, Auntie."
"It's best to know."
Xu Jinhe nodded with satisfaction and handed the auction brochure in his hand to Mo Wanning.
"These are the items that will be auctioned tonight. Pick one you like and I'll give it to you as compensation for Yan Ci making you angry just now."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Mo Wanning thanked him.
The auction has begun.
Fu Yanci discussed the items to be auctioned tonight in a low voice with Jiang Nuan.
"Nuannuan, is there anything you like here?"
Jiang Nuan was bored as she flipped through the photo album that Fu Yanci handed to her. It was not until she turned to the last page that her expression changed.
"As expected of my girlfriend, your vision is very consistent with mine."
"So this necklace is why you came here this time?"
"Well, I thought it should belong to you, so I came."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Jiang Nuan glared at Fu Yanci coquettishly, and a hint of crimson appeared on her earlobe.
All of this was seen by Mo Wanning and Xu Jinhe who were sitting not far away. In addition—
"Feng Qing, do you think that villain Fu Yanci is taking advantage of my fiancée? Look at his dirty hands, where are they going? He's touching my fiancée in public, how disrespectful!"
Xia Fengqing couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. He raised his hand to wipe away the non-existent sweat on his forehead and didn't dare to answer Gu Shiqing's question.
"Feng Qing, I'm talking to you, why don't you reply me?"
"Boss, that's not how you use your hands. You're mistaken."
"Really? Then what does it mean to use it? How do you use it?"
With Xia Fengqing's evasive answer, Gu Shiqing's attention was quickly diverted and he began to learn four-character idioms from Xia Fengqing.
"Please welcome our last exhibit of the night, the Brilliant Galaxy!"
"This is a diamond necklace worn by the Eucalyptus Queen of the European royal family two hundred years ago. Its most striking feature is the five-carat natural, uncut pink diamond in the center. Even the surrounding diamonds cannot overshadow its brilliance."
"Legend has it that Emperor Eucalyptus sought out designers from all over Europe to collaborate on the design, and the necklace was crafted by the best craftsmen in the royal family as a proposal gift for Queen Eucalyptus. Queen Eucalyptus accepted Eucalyptus's proposal because of this necklace."
"So this necklace also symbolizes happiness and perfection."
"Now, the bidding begins, and the starting price is one million yuan!"
Under the auctioneer's passionate explanation, many people couldn't help but raise their hands to bid.
"Number 5, bid two million."
"Number 12, three million."
"Number 1, three and a half million."
......
"Number 5, six million."
"Anyone else want to raise the price?"
The auctioneer glanced at the people below and asked.
Mo Wanning guessed that no one would raise the price anymore, so she raised the bidding sign in her hand.
"Number 10, six and a half million."
"Number 10, six and a half million! Anyone else want to bid?"
"Number 5, seven million!"
"Number 10, seven and a half million!"
Just as Mo Wanning was bidding back and forth with No. 5, a pleasant male voice came from upstairs.
"One hundred million."
Everyone below looked up in shock at the person upstairs who suddenly spoke up to bid, a young man in a Tang suit.
"One hundred million! Is there anyone willing to bid one hundred million?!"
The auctioneer's hands began to tremble slightly. This was just a charity auction, and it was thanks to this brilliant galaxy that so many dignitaries were attracted to the scene.
In fact, it can be seen from the starting price that the estimated price of this necklace is not that high. After all, no matter how sweet his words are, what is being auctioned is ultimately just an ordinary diamond necklace with no actual value.
But now it has been raised to 100 million!
This means that as soon as this auction is over, his net worth will soar along with this 100 million yuan feat!
Jiang Nuan was also attracted by the familiar voice. She looked up and saw that it was indeed the eldest senior brother.
The moment he saw Xia Fengqing, Fu Yanci also understood why Jiang Nuan had behaved strangely just now. It turned out that Gu Shiqing had come.
Fu Yanci's eyes grew dark, he pursed his lips and said nothing.
