Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The exchange session began, but Zheng Zeyi and Qiao Sisi did not intend to stay in the auction house anymore.
At this moment, a staff member knocked on the door of the private room.
“Come in,” Zheng Zeyi said calmly as he sat on the sofa.
When the staff member heard this, he slowly pushed the door open and entered. He was holding an open black-gold box with two boxes inside.
In one box was the sapphire set jewelry that he had just bought, and in the other was the previous Light Smoke bracelet.
The staff smiled obsequiously at Zheng Zeyi and said, “Young Master Zheng, this is yours.”
Zheng Zeyi nodded and handed him a gold card. “Leave it here. Take this card.”
“Alright.” The staff member was all smiles as he quickly took the gold card from Zheng Zeyi. His actions were cautious as he was afraid of damaging the card.
Qiao Sisi’s eyes twitched as she sighed inwardly.
Zheng Ze had spent a lot of money on these two items at the auction. The two items cost almost 30 million yuan.
The staff member swiped the card on the card machine and successfully received more than 30 million yuan. He returned the card to Zheng Zeyi.
After paying, Zheng Zeyi held the two boxes that had been placed in a bag and got ready to leave. He took big strides and walked quickly away.
Before Qiao Sisi could react, he had already left the private room.
“Hey… Wait for me!” Qiao Sisi quickly stood up, picked up her things, and walked briskly after him.
There were many people participating in the exchange. Only Qiao Sisi and Zheng Zeyi were preparing to leave.
A big table was placed in the auction hall again. There was something that had been auctioned off previously, as well as other auction jewelry.
Everyone could freely exchange items at this time. It sounded like a good idea.
As soon as Zheng Zeyi walked out of the private room, he saw a man in a white shirt. It was Young Master Liu, who had fought with him over the sapphire jewelry set.
“Young Master Zheng? It’s you.” Young Master Liu was surprised to see him coming out of Room 1.
The two of them faced each other and did not speak until Qiao Sisi followed them out of the private room.
“Zheng Zeyi, you’re really fast.” Qiao Sisi took two steps forward, but she was still panting. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.
Looking at Zheng Zeyi’s stiff posture, Qiao Sisi was a little puzzled. She took two steps forward and her pupils constricted when she saw Young Master Liu.
“Isn’t this the man who was vying for the jewelry set just now? Why is he here now?”
Qiao Sisi pursed her lips and stole a glance at Zheng Zeyi. She tugged at his sleeve. Her intention was obvious.
When Zheng Zeyi noticed this, he turned around and glanced at him with smiling eyes.
Seeing this gaze, Qiao Sisi immediately let go of her hand and looked away, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Young Master Liu’s eyes darted between the two of them. After taking a few glances, he stopped looking at them. He smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to buy it, Young Master Zheng. If I had known, I wouldn’t have participated in the bidding.”
Hearing this, Zheng Zeyi smiled. “You’re welcome.”
“In that case, Young Master Zheng, I’ll take my leave first. Since my mother was not fated to have this sapphire jewelry set, I won’t insist on it.” Young Master Liu shook his head helplessly and prepared to leave.
Before Zheng Zeyi could speak, Qiao Sisi spoke first. “Bye now.”
Young Master Liu stopped in his tracks. With his back to Qiao Sisi and Zheng Zeyi, his expression was a little dark. He sped up and walked towards the main door of the auction house.
“He looks like he’s in a bad mood.” Qiao Sisi stretched her neck to look. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that this Young Master Liu was smiling insincerely.
“Good to know, baby.”
Zheng Zeyi added, “How should I put it? I can only say that he’s quite smart.
“Huh?”
“Zheng Zeyi! What nonsense are you talking about!” Qiao Sisi glared and said angrily. Indeed, I should not have treated this person too well, she thought.
“Let’s go.” Zheng Ze raised his eyebrows and walked towards the main door of the auction house. Qiao Sisi heaved a sigh of relief.
The two of them walked side by side. From the back, they looked like an enviable couple.
…
She was at the auction house for almost two hours.
After coming out, Qiao Sisi took a breath of fresh air and felt much better.
“Zheng Zeyi, I’ve attended the auction with you. Can you let me go back to work now?” Qiao Sisi said with some anticipation.
When he heard this, Zheng Zeyi smiled evilly. His eyes seemed to be shining brightly. “Don’t be anxious. Go somewhere with me again.”
“Hey, I’m not going.”
This time, Qiao Sisi had made up her mind not to agree. However, how could she beat Zheng Zeyi? She was practically dragged away. She wanted to cry.
After walking for more than 10 minutes, they were out of the range of Jade Street.
This place was very spacious and empty. Not only were there fewer people, but it even felt a little eerie.
“Where is this?” Qiao Sisi could not help hugging her clothes as she asked.
Zheng Ze had no intention of stopping. “Just follow me. Let’s go.”
With that, he held Qiao Sisi’s hand without explanation. A warm touch came from his hand, causing Qiao Sisi to be stunned and her face to turn red.
She lowered her head slightly to hide her awkwardness.
Fortunately, the weather was cool today and the breeze brought with it a refreshing smell. Not long after, the heat on Qiao Sisi’s face dissipated.
Finally, the two of them stopped in front of a building.
It was a small building about seven or eight stories high. It did not look shabby, but it was definitely not a new house. It was quite ordinary.
This place did not look like the kind of place Zheng Zeyi would visit.
“Zheng Zeyi, why did you bring me here? Just tell me.” Qiao Sisi stopped in her tracks. She looked like she would not move a step as long as Zheng Zeyi did not answer her.
Zheng Ze held her small hand tightly and watched as Qiao Sisi took a few steps forward. Their faces were so close that her lips were almost touching his.
This color…
Qiao Sisi swallowed her saliva and blushed shamelessly again.
Qiao Sisi really wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. She was extremely ashamed. Her heart was beating rapidly, at least several times faster than normal.
It was very quiet here. Qiao Sisi was worried that Zheng Zeyi would hear her rapid heartbeat.
As expected, Zheng Zeyi saw Qiao Sisi blushing. His thin lips parted as he said, “I think you will like it here. Are you coming now?”
His tone was slightly raised and simply enticing.
