Chapter 16 Brother Ayan
Suddenly, the entire audience fell silent, and the host mysteriously announced the final item to be auctioned that evening.
"It is the flame of pigeon blood."
The crowd below the stage were immediately intrigued and began to whisper among themselves.
A dazzling necklace rests quietly in a velvet jewelry box.
The necklace's centerpiece is a rare pigeon blood ruby, its intense color resembling a drop of solidified flame.
Just one glance is enough to tell it's a treasure among treasures.
Li Yanzhou glanced at it lazily, showing little interest in such a thing.
However, Pei Tingyu's voice appeared in his ear, sounding deep and sexy.
"Do you like it, baby? If you do, I'll take a picture and send it to you."
These words were spoken to Song Lixian.
"like……"
Song Lixian was immediately flattered and looked shy like a little woman. "No girl would refuse such a beautiful necklace."
No girl could refuse?
These words made Li Yanzhou take another look at the necklace.
He remembered that in a few days it would be that woman's birthday.
Li Yanzhou looked at the listless woman in the surveillance footage and curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
Pei Tingyu's auction plan was ultimately ruined by him.
Every time he made a bid, Li Yanzhou would immediately try to lower it by offering an even higher price.
Pei Tingyu, "..."
He knew very well that continuing like this would lead nowhere.
Seeing this, Song Lixian quickly stepped in to mediate, jokingly saying,
"Never mind, honey, you've already bought me enough jewelry. Let's give this one to Young Master Li. He probably needs it more and is eager to take it home to appease someone."
With Song Lixian's words, Pei Tingyu stopped arguing with him and readily gave up.
When Li Yanzhou returned to the villa in Black City by helicopter, Luo Tingwei was still sitting blankly on the bed, with Teletubbies playing on the TV.
"Baby milkshake, baby milkshake, Xiao Bo wants to drink baby milk..."
Suddenly, the TV went black.
Luo Tingwei finally reacted, frowning as she looked at the man beside her, "What are you doing?"
Li Yanzhou walked over and touched her forehead. "You don't have a fever."
Luo Tingwei shook off his hand, turned her gaze elsewhere, and refused to look at him.
She knew that asking him to let her go would be futile, so she decided to ignore him.
Are you angry?
He followed her gaze and forced her to look at him.
"Okay, don't be angry. I know it was wrong of me to lock you in the bed."
He tried to soften his tone, speaking in a coaxing manner, "How about this, smile at me, and I'll help you untie it, okay?"
Luo Tingwei turned her head away, continuing to ignore him.
Li Yanzhou patiently coaxed her a few more times, but finally ran out of patience and grabbed her chin.
"Luo Tingwei, smile, do you hear me?"
Thinking of her father, Luo Tingwei finally gave in, looked him straight in the eye, and forced a cold smile.
Li Yanzhou knew when to stop, so he took out his key and helped her untie the ropes.
The shocking red marks on his hands startled him, standing out starkly against his fair skin.
He hadn't expected it to be so tight, even though he had chosen the softest material.
Luo Tingwei was suddenly untied. She moved her wrist and instinctively hissed in pain.
She had never suffered such injustice in her entire life!
This man is a real pervert, a madman, a psychopath!
Li Yanzhou walked to the side and pressed the intercom, "Bring a basin of hot water."
After a while, the maid came in with a basin of water, put it down, and left.
Li Yanzhou walked over, wrung out the towel, and began to apply a hot compress to her.
Luo Tingwei was fairly cooperative.
Perhaps because of the hot water, she felt a little better.
However, when her gaze inadvertently fell upon the leather rope that had been removed from the side, she still felt a jolt in her heart.
Anyway, he'll be tied up again soon, so what's the point of him pretending?
After Li Yanzhou finished applying the hot compress to her wrist, he lifted it up and kissed it, as if he were kissing some precious treasure.
Luo Tingwei rolled her eyes. "You can continue tying her up."
Li Yanzhou pinched her cheek. "I won't tie you up anymore."
Hearing this, she was taken aback. What? They were letting her go?
Seeing her listless appearance, the man couldn't help but say, "It must be boring in this house, right? Say something nice, and I'll take you out for a walk, how about it?"
The phrase "go out for a stroll" piqued her interest.
"What sounds good?" Her voice was a little more angry.
Li Yanzhou thought for a moment, then leaned closer to her and pressed his earlobe against hers. "How about this, you call me Brother Yan, but make it sound soft."
Luo Tingwei got goosebumps all over.
Was he deliberately trying to disgust her? So he tried every possible way to embarrass her?
But……
But she really wanted to go out.
Seeing her hesitation, Li Yanzhou's expression darkened. He glanced at his watch and deliberately said,
"The driver is almost here. If you don't want to go out, then stay here."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Just as he reached the door, a faint voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Don't……"
Turning around, she saw Luo Tingwei looking flustered, her face flushed red.
He turned half his face to the side, looking down at her embarrassment with a rather condescending air. "Hmm?"
"Brother Ayan..."
The woman's red lips parted and closed as she whispered.
"What did you say? I can't hear you."
Luo Tingwei had no choice but to call out a little louder.
“Brother Ayan.”
The pronunciation was very stiff.
Even so, a pixel appeared on Li Yanzhou's lips, "Yes, I heard you."
Then, a maid came to help her change her clothes, and she followed Li Yanzhou out the door.
**
The club was brightly lit by evening.
Li Yanzhou turned and glanced at her. "Stay close to me and don't wander off."
Luo Tingwei glanced at the four bodyguards closely following behind her, "..."
He led her to a private room, and as soon as she sat down on the sofa, someone came to serve her.
She could clearly sense that the focus of the entire private room had shifted to him.
Everyone else in the private room, regardless of gender, had their eyes fixed on her with curiosity.
"Oh, Young Master Li, is this your girlfriend?" a man asked ingratiatingly.
Li Yanzhou took a sip of wine, pulled Luo Tingwei into his arms, and smiled noncommittally.
Luo Tingwei felt embarrassed.
She glanced to the side and saw a circle of men, each with a scantily clad hostess in their arms.
By treating her like this, isn't he putting her on the same level as those bar hostesses?
Do you drink alcohol?
Li Yanzhou asked her.
Luo Tingwei shook her head, about to say something, when she saw Li Yanzhou turn his head away.
It turned out that the waiter was lighting his cigarette.
Gradually, the air became filled with smoke.
Luo Tingwei felt a string in her mind tighten.
The men in the private room chatted about everything under the sun, from sports and entertainment to financial news.
She found it a bit noisy, and the smell of smoke made her throat very dry.
A cough was heard, and Li Yanzhou paused, glanced at the woman beside him, and casually put out his cigarette.
Luo Tingwei picked up the hot water in front of her and took a sip. After pausing for a moment, she finally mustered up the courage to speak to him while his gaze lingered on her.
"I...don't want to stay here."
