Before she could react, Qiao Wanwan quickly covered her left cheek with her hair before looking at the man who had entered. "What's wrong?"
It wasn't that she wanted to deliberately hide anything, but she felt that if she didn't have this scar, Zhan Jingting would be even less likely to let her go.
Zhan Jingting held a tray in his hand, "I brought you some food."
"I'm not hungry."
“You have to eat even if you’re not hungry. You were exhausted the other day and haven’t recovered yet.”
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
Her face flushed involuntarily. "Zhan Jingting, can we move on from what happened that day?"
"Why turn the page on something that actually happened?" the man retorted.
I can't argue with you!
Zhan Jingting placed the tray on the bedside table and suddenly noticed the things on it. "What's this?"
Qiao Wanwan turned her head and saw that it was her fake scar!
She quickly took it, saying, "It's nothing, just something a girl would use."
Zhan Jingting didn't press further. "Drink the bird's nest soup and get some rest. There's an auction tomorrow, and you'll have to come with me."
"I don't want to," Qiao Wanwan refused outright. "I don't like those kinds of occasions. You should find someone else to go with you."
"Miss Qiao, as a girlfriend, accompanying your boyfriend to an auction shouldn't be a problem, right?" Zhan Jingting looked at her. "Besides, I heard that Gu Xulin and Qiao Yuqi will also be there. Don't you want to go and meet them?"
Qiao Wanwan wanted to, but she didn't have the strength to fight them right now, and going would only make her unhappy.
"I'm not interested, I'm not going."
"It's fine if you don't want to go, I'll take more pictures in your name."
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
"Zhan Jingting, you did this on purpose, didn't you? You used my name to film this, trying to make me famous!"
"Isn't fire good?"
Qiao Wanwan was furious. "Fine, I'll go, but you have to promise me you'll keep a low profile!"
"Okay." Zhan Jingting handed her the soup bowl. "Eat up."
"I already told you I'm not hungry!"
"Eat me before you leave."
Qiao Wanwan glared at him, took the soup bowl, and tasted the bird's nest.
Surprisingly, it tasted pretty good.
She finished her meal in a few bites. "Can we go now?"
"Goodnight, sweetie."
After Zhan Jingting left, Qiao Wanwan got out of bed and locked the door from the inside.
It looks like the next month won't be easy!
......
The following evening, a black Bentley was parked in front of the villa.
The villa gate opened, and Zhan Jingting turned his head to see a girl wearing a hat, mask, and sunglasses, almost fully armed, sitting in a wheelchair and awkwardly maneuvering it out.
Zhan Jingting: "......???"
Qiao Wanwan walked to the car and stood up from her wheelchair.
The driver stepped forward and folded up her wheelchair.
"Thank you. Could you please put it in the trunk for me? I'll need it when I get out of the car later."
Zhan Jingting: "......"
"Qiao Wanwan, what do you want to do?"
"I want to keep a low profile. My feet are easily recognizable, but when I'm in a wheelchair, no one notices me."
"......"
Is it really necessary?
"That's really going too far!"
Zhan Jingting didn't say much and instructed the driver to start the car.
When Qiao Wanwan arrived at the auction, she realized she had been overthinking things.
They went upstairs in a very secluded elevator, and they sat in a private room where no one could see her.
She immediately felt cheated. "Why didn't you say so sooner? I even used a wheelchair."
"You didn't even ask me."
Qiao Wanwan got up and stretched her limbs. This was the VIP area on the second floor; there were also regular seats downstairs.
The auction officially began, and Zhan Jingting handed her a specially made remote control, saying, "Bid on whatever you like."
"Thank you, but I'm not interested in these things." Qiao Wanwan looked down through her binoculars. "Didn't you say Gu Xulin and Qiao Yuqi were here too? Where are they?"
"Room number six."
"oh."
Qiao Wanwan wasn't really interested in the items being auctioned, but when she heard people in room number six bidding on a blue and white porcelain vase, Zhan Jingting next to her immediately picked up the remote control and raised the price.
"What are you doing?" Qiao Wanwan asked in shock.
"like."
"Oh." She thought he was deliberately trying to steal Gu Xulin's things.
Gu Xulin's mother loves antiques, especially blue and white porcelain.
As expected, Gu Xulin raised the price again.
But Zhan Jingting caught up immediately.
After several rounds of bidding, Gu Xulin gave up, and Zhan Jingting spent seven figures to buy the blue and white porcelain vase.
Qiao Wanwan turned her head and glanced at the man beside her. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Zhan Jingting's lips curled into a cold, triumphant smile.
It is extremely faint, yet impossible to ignore.
Why did she feel like this man was deliberately trying to steal Gu Xulin from her?
But then I thought, she must be overthinking it.
The next item up for auction was a set of rare Phoebe zhennan wood furniture, with a starting price of six figures.
Gu Xulin clearly liked it and snapped another picture.
Zhan Jingting raised the price again.
Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but say, "Zhan Jingting, this set of furniture doesn't seem to match your home's decorating style."
“I also own other properties.”
Qiao Wanwan: "......" This big shot is indeed inhumanly rich!
A powerful figure acted ruthlessly, snatching the furniture from Gu Xulin once again.
For the next item up for auction, Zhan Jingting would definitely bid higher to win it if it came from room number six.
Stunned, Qiao Wanwan was absolutely certain that she hadn't been overthinking it; Zhan Jingting was indeed trying to steal Gu Xulin away!
All she could say to this childish behavior was... Well done!
