With a forced, cute smile, Ouyang Rao prepared to step forward and reach out to take Liu Nian's arm.
"Brother Liunian".
As soon as Liu Nian walked up to Ouyang Rao, he noticed Ouyang Rao's outstretched hand and immediately stopped it.
Ouyang Rao was momentarily stunned, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Then, as if remembering something, he raised a wronged look on his face and pointed to the security personnel standing not far away.
"He won't let me go up. Please teach him a lesson."
Everyone was astonished to see the woman's expression change faster than turning the pages of a book.
There are actually women like this in the world, who even turn the tables on their victims.
Good heavens! This man in front of us doesn't look like someone to be trifled with. This security guard is probably in for a rough time.
The auction house owner probably wouldn't risk offending someone with such a powerful background just for the sake of a security guard; the security guard has no choice but to accept his fate this time!
Everyone silently mourned for the security guard, because they really couldn't afford to offend someone of that status.
Liu Nian glanced at the security personnel beside her, then said to Ouyang Rao, "Stop making a scene, Master Jin is upstairs, come upstairs with me."
No need to think, everyone knows what's going on.
This young lady is a tyrannical figure in the dungeon; anyone who offends her is either killed or crippled.
Only in front of Master Jin will she be obedient and adorable.
That's why he invoked Master Jin's name.
As expected, Ouyang Rao immediately stopped caring about Jiang Xuanjin upon hearing his name.
"Yeah, he's lucky today. Let's go, Brother Liunian."
Liu Nian nodded slightly, stepped forward to lead the way, and the two left together.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, marveling at the security personnel's good fortune in escaping unscathed.
The security guard's face remained expressionless, but his back, unseen by others, was soaked with cold sweat.
He had seen the man who came down earlier while patrolling upstairs. The man and another man with an even colder demeanor had come out of the young master's office.
As they passed each other, they could sense an aura emanating from the two people that was different from that of ordinary people.

Ouyang Rao followed Liu Nian to Jiang Xuanjin's private room. Liu Nian knocked on the door and then led Ouyang Rao inside.
Upon entering the room, Ouyang Rao saw that Jiang Xuanjin was the only one on the sofa, and her face immediately lit up with a smile.
She knew that Jin-gege was just playing around with that woman.
Brother Jin still has his own feelings for him.
Just as Liu Nian was about to step forward to report to Jiang Xuanjin, before she could even speak, Ouyang Rao quickly walked over to Jiang Xuanjin and sat down beside him, trying to take his arm.
With a happy and content smile, she said, "Brother Jin, I've missed you so much these past few days!"
Jiang Xuanjin was intently watching the screen and bidding when, without noticing, Ouyang Rao grabbed his arm.
His handsome brows immediately furrowed into a deep frown. He pulled his hand away from Ouyang Rao's phone and said calmly, "Why are you here?"
Ouyang Rao was initially saddened and disappointed when Jiang Xuanjin took me away.
Upon hearing Jiang Xuanjin's question, she immediately felt happy again.
She knew that Brother Jin cared about her.
"Oh, I came with a friend, but she had to leave at the last minute."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuanjin didn't say anything more, keeping his eyes fixed on the bidding on the screen.
Ouyang Rao was used to this; she knew Jiang Xuanjin's personality—he always had an expression that kept everyone at arm's length.
Ouyang Rao followed Jiang Xuanjin's gaze to the television screen, and when she saw that it was still the same pink diamond, her eyes lit up and her face lit up with joy.
"Brother Jin, it really was you who photographed this pink diamond! I love it so much."
Upon hearing this, Liu Nian at the door felt a bit overwhelmed.
Judging by this pink diamond, it's clear that Master Jin didn't intend it for Ouyang Rao.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuanjin frowned, seemingly displeased with Ouyang Rao's words, but said nothing and continued clapping with Ye Mohan's side.
Seeing that Jiang Xuanjin ignored her, Ouyang Rao tried her best to probe, "Brother Jin, I really love this pink diamond. Did you buy it for me?"
"no."
Jiang Xuanjin replied without the slightest hesitation.
Liu Nian, standing at the door, shook his head helplessly.
Why does Miss Ouyang always like to climb the ladder of success?
Over the years, her master has never given her a second glance, let alone given her anything.
Even for gifts on ordinary days, the master is willing to write her a check.
She couldn't even see such an obvious attempt to draw a line!
If it weren't for the fact that Master Jin was able to successfully take control of the underground city, Ouyang Rao's father, Ouyang Duan, would have been of great help.
Based on what Ouyang Rao has done behind the scenes, it's impossible for Master Jin to have indulged her for so many years and let her do whatever she wants.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Rao, who was standing to the side, looked at Jiang Xuanjin's profile with deep affection, and a hint of hurt flashed in her eyes. She then concealed her hurt, pouted, and reached out to take Jiang Xuanjin's arm again.
Jiang Xuanjin noticed Ouyang Rao's actions out of the corner of his eye, so he immediately moved to the side, gave Ouyang Rao a displeased look, and then continued bidding.
Seeing this, Ouyang Rao's disappointment, which she had managed to suppress, was starting to crumble.
Unable to hold back any longer, Ouyang Rao looked distressed, her eyes filled with tears, and she sobbed.
"Brother Jin, we've known each other for so many years, and you've never given me any gifts. I really, really love this pink diamond. Could you give it to me?"
Hearing Ouyang Rao's sobs, Jiang Xuanjin frowned, his patience vanished, and he felt increasingly irritated.
In that instant, I felt the pink diamond had been tainted, and I lost all interest in bidding.
Jiang Xuanjin stopped bidding, his expression extremely displeased, suppressing his anger as he leaned back on the sofa, lost in thought.
If it weren't for the fact that she was Uncle Duan's daughter, he would have loved to throw her out.
Then he waved towards the door.
Liu Nian had been paying attention to Jiang Xuanjin's situation, and when she saw the look Jiang Xuanjin gave her, she resignedly stepped forward.
Jiang Xuanjin placed the bidding tool in his hand on the table, then stood up. "Liu Nian, take her back."
Upon hearing Jiang Xuanjin's words, Ouyang Rao immediately stopped crying and stood up. "Brother Jin, where are you going?"
"If you need anything, let Liunian take you back."
Jiang Xuanjin left the private room without looking back.
Ouyang Rao wanted to follow and say something, but Liu Nian stopped her and kindly advised, "Miss Ouyang, you know Master Jin's temper. Do you really want to completely anger him?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Rao's face turned pale instantly.
She seemed to have really overstepped her bounds today, whether it was because of that woman's appearance, or because of this pink diamond, or something else entirely.
Ouyang Rao lowered her head, looking pitiful. "Brother Liunian, can I wait here for Brother Jin? I promise I'll behave myself and won't do anything. I want to wait for Brother Jin to leave together, okay?"
