Chapter 260 Show of Affection
Cheng Yi stepped out of the antique shop and was dazzled by the scorching sun above his head.
He raised his face and squinted his eyes at the sun.
The old man should be asked to go out and get some sun more often.
Qi Huang stepped forward and said to Cheng Yi, "Master, the people sent to deal with Klein have returned to report."
Cheng Yi withdrew his gaze, put the pipe in his pocket, and twisted his wrist.
"Dealt with it?"
Qi Huang lowered his posture even more. "It's been handled. The Wolf Hunter Team One is cleaning up the remaining members."
"That's perfect," Cheng Yi patted the remaining tobacco on his hands and replied casually, "There's an auction tomorrow. I'll sell the things I copied so I don't have to worry about looking at them."
As soon as his power showed signs of slipping, these people couldn't wait to break away from Tavia and set up their own business. It seemed that he was too gentle to these lackeys on a daily basis.
"Are there any other moves from the black market traders?"
Ling Shuo took over the conversation: "Master, there are some people who are ready to make a move. I have already sent people to warn them."
"Just deal with anything that seems useless," Cheng Yi lifted the hem of his windbreaker and walked away casually with long strides. "You don't need to ask me, just do it yourself."
Qi Huang and Ling Shuo stood there and answered at the same time: "Yes."

Water villa.
Lu Qian had just sent Vanessa away and was thinking of taking a break to change clothes. Before he lay down on the bed, he heard the door being knocked.
"Xiao Qian, are you done cleaning up?"
Before she could agree, Qu Le's impatient voice came from outside.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Are you trying to kill me?"
Lu Qian complained as he walked to the door and opened it for her.
As soon as the door opened, Qu Le leaned against the door frame, looking unhappy. "We can only play for half a day, and tomorrow we have to go to the underground auction house. How can I not be anxious?"
"Besides, Bai Yao also ran away, so we can only go out and play by ourselves."
Lu Qian was quite interested in the news. He opened the door, leaned against the door frame opposite Qu Le, and started chatting with her: "Where is Bai Yao?"
Judging from the way Bai Yao had been hanging around Cheng Yi these past few days, finding excuses to annoy him, Lu Qian felt that he must have discovered something.
However, Lu Qian was not sure what Bai Yao was trying to do.
"I don't know. It seems like someone from the auction went to look for him," Qu Le pursed his lips and shook his head, pulling Lu Qian's arm. "Forget him, let's go out and play."
Lu Qian was dragged by Qu Le and had no room to resist, so he had to follow her downstairs.
Qi Huang also followed Cheng Yi away, leaving Zhuxiachun alone here, so the three left-behind girls decided to go out together to have some fun.
Lu Qian sat at the bow of the boat, lifted the brim of his straw hat, and looked at the merchants coming and going on both sides of the floating market.
I have seen Venice's floating market countless times in books, but experiencing it up close gives you a different kind of experience.
Her eyes fell on a stall selling porcelain, and suddenly she remembered something. She turned to ask Qu Le, "Oh, right, aren't there a lot of antique markets in Venice?"
Qu Le nodded. "Although I've never been here, the market here is very famous, and there are many medieval markets. Why, do you want to go shopping?"
Qu Le is not interested in shopping, but if it is a second-hand market, there will probably be a lot of novel things, which is just what she wants to go and take a look.
Lu Qian replied, "Shopping is secondary. I want to choose a gift for someone."
"Choose a gift?" Qu Le looked puzzled. "For whom? For my brother?"
Lu Qian shook his head. "Remember Louis, the one you met in the cathedral last time?"
Qu Le was shocked when he heard the name: "Ah?! Are you really having a relationship with him?"
When Lu Qian heard Qu Le's nonsense, she became furious. She took off her hat and threw it at her.
"Bullshit!"
Qu Le was quick-witted and grabbed the weapon thrown by Lu Qian. "Then what gift are you going to buy him..."
Lu Qian rolled his eyes at Qu Le in annoyance. "Last time, your brother came to look for me, but he was scared away. I wanted to buy him something to apologize."
At least Louis helped Lu Qian feel relieved. Louis was so kind to her, but Cheng Yi wanted to kill him as soon as he arrived. Lu Qian felt bad about it.
As soon as Qu Le heard Lu Qian's explanation, he immediately lost interest.
"Oh...that's boring."
“…” Lu Qian was speechless for a while.
This was the first time she had seen someone who wanted to see her brother being cuckolded so much.
Under the introduction of the boatman, several people came to an antique market.
Lu Qian chose a handmade ornament of the Milan Cathedral for Louis. It was five or six centimeters square and very small and exquisite. Lu Qian thought he would definitely like it.
She also asked the store to pack it more delicately, and planned to take the gift to apologize to Louis when she returned to Milan.
When they returned to the villa, it was already dark. Cheng Yi and Bai Yao had already returned.
Cheng Yi sat on the sofa in the living room, holding the black and gold-inlaid auction list in his hand, half-closed his eyes, and looked at it lazily.
Vanessa was standing beside Cheng Yi. When she saw Lu Qian walk in from the door, her expression instantly turned not so good.
Lu Qian couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart. This woman was really becoming more and more impatient.
In the game of gambling, whoever acts on impulse first will lose, no matter how many chips they hold.
Cheng Yi heard the sound and looked towards the door.
Lu Qian still looked well-behaved. She walked to Cheng Yi and leaned tenderly into his arms.
Cheng Yi took her in his arms and said, as domineeringly as ever, "Where have you been?"
Lu Qian raised her hand and gently drew circles on Cheng Yi's chest muscles. Her tone was sticky and sweet, as if complaining and acting coquettishly: "Since all of you are not here, Lele and Achun can only go out and play by ourselves."
The way they showed off their affection made Vanessa so angry that she gritted her teeth.
In the past, Lu Qian refused to interact with Cheng Yi like this in public.
But now, firstly, time has passed, and under Cheng Yi's influence, she is not so shameless anymore. Secondly, it is also for show, to act for Vanessa.
But having said that, Lu Qian found that he was enjoying the performance these days, especially when he saw Vanessa's ugly face, which made him feel even better.
As expected, when it comes to fighting a love rival, you have to experience it yourself to understand what it feels like.
Cheng Yi grabbed Lu Qian's hand that was randomly lighting a fire on him, brought it to his mouth and bit it twice, "Blame me, how do you want me to compensate you?"
His voice was full of temptation, and his desire was so strong that one could hear it immediately.
Lu Qian avoided his gaze, her pretty face instantly flushed. She raised her hand and gently pushed Cheng Yi's face, "Hate... There's someone else here..."
Someone, haha, of course it’s Vanessa who is almost biting her teeth next to Cheng Yi.
"That's easy," Cheng Yi picked up Lu Qian by the waist and kissed her on the lips. "Let's go back to the room. There will be no one here."
Cheng Yi held Lu Qian and passed by Vanessa.
Lu Qian grabbed Cheng Yi's shoulders, turned to look at Vanessa, and gave her a bitchy smile.
Vanessa's already angry face became distorted in an instant. If Cheng Yi hadn't been there, she would have exploded and yelled.
Seeing the reaction he expected, Lu Qian turned back with a smug look on his face.
Seeing Lu Qian's little appearance, Cheng Yi pulled a very evil smile from the corner of his mouth, "Little thing, why are you so mean?"
Lu Qian tilted her head innocently, blinked her big eyes at Cheng Yi, and smiled.
"Same here."
