Wen Ruoshui took a look and nodded. âYes.â
It was normal for Huo Ci to appear here. He was the biggest tyrant in the capital, so he would definitely come to participate in such an auction.
âNo, look over there.â Dongfang Chu tugged at her again. âYuâer, Yuâer is with him!â
âHe must have threatened Yuâer to come over.â When Wen Ruoshui saw Nangong Lengyu, her brows furrowed and her eyes were filled with worry.
âIâll go over and take a look.â Dongfang Chu was worried. When she had found out that Yuâer wanted to break off the engagement but had to live with Huo Ci, she had strongly objected once. However, her objection was invalid in the end.
âSit down.â Wen Ruoshui pulled her and did not let her go. âYuâer must have her own plans. Donât ruin her plan.â
Dongfang Chu took a few more glances worriedly and muttered softly, âWhy did Yuâer come here so late at night? She didnât even tell us.â
âShe was probably afraid that you would be worried and object. We came over late at night and didnât tell her.â Wen Ruoshui comforted her. âWhen itâs over, weâll ask again.â
Dongfang Chu stared at Huo Ci unhappily for a while. She really could not think of anything good about being with him.
She felt that Yuâer must have been bullied by him a lot when she was with him. She was afraid that they would worry, so she did not tell them anything.
Soon, the auction house was filled.
Dongfang Chu moved closer to Wen Ruoshui. âDo you think the âTiger Mountain Paintingâ will appear today?â
This damn auction was quite mysterious and had many tricks up its sleeves. Not only did it start in the middle of the night, but there was also no list of items for auction.
âLetâs wait and see. Weâre all here. If thereâs nothing else, weâll buy something else.â Wen Ruoshui was very open-minded and calm. She did not have to buy anything. As long as it was something Grandpa Dongfang liked, it was fine.
Dongfang Chu and Wen Ruoshui did not specially get an invitation. They sat in the most ordinary seat, near the back on the right.
The two of them whispered to each other, discussing the items that would appear at this auction. If they did not have the âTiger Mountain Paintingâ that they were determined to get, what would they buy from the auction?
Someone walked in from the entrance.
Dongfang Chu only took a glance and could not look away anymore.
The man was dressed in an exquisitely tailored black suit that wrapped around his perfect figure. He stood there quietly like an immortal who had descended to the mortal world. He was clear and refined, and his noble and abstinent aura made one kneel at his feet and worship him.
For a moment, she felt like she was possessed. Her heart was beating violently in her chest, and she was overjoyed. It was as if it was about to jump out of her chest and no longer belonged to her.
When the man walked to their side, he stopped in his tracks and nodded slightly at them. A polite and warm smile appeared on his cold and handsome face.
Wen Ruoshui looked at the man who greeted them and thought that Dongfang Chu knew him. He didnât look bad, but his temperament was a little cold.
Dongfang Chu thought that it was someone Wen Ruoshui knew and tried her best to calm down. She nodded and smiled at him elegantly, thinking that when the man left, she would ask him who he was.
Oh my god!
When she heard Shui Shui talk about love at first sight, it was not that she did not believe her. It was just that she had always felt that this kind of thing required the right time, place, and people. She had not been fated to meet the person who could make her fall in love at first sight in her life.
However, at this moment,
She believed her.
It turned out that love at first sight really existed in the world. The moment you saw that person, you were sure. Your heart was telling you that it was him!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âShui Shui, who is he?â Dongfang Chu asked Wen Ruoshui excitedly when she saw the man leave.
During the time she had been back, thanks to her grandfather, she had seen at least half of the young masters in the capital, but she had never seen this man.
Her mother and the aunties at home often showed her photos. Last night, her mother had even taken out a photo to show her. It was said to be a personal summary of the most well-off children in China.
She had also been forced by her mother to look at the men from head to toe and was sure that she had not seen them before.
One look at his outstanding looks and one would never forget him.
âYou donât know him?â Wen Ruoshui looked at her strangely. âI thought he knew you!â
That man was also strange. He did not know the two of them and greeted them. However, now that she thought about it, he looked very familiar.
âI donât know him.â Dongfang Chu was also curious. She asked softly, âDo you think he likes you?â
âHe must have taken a liking to you!â Wen Ruoshui was amused by her. She was the one who couldnât take her eyes off him just now, yet she was still joking with her.
Dongfang Chu covered her heart. âI hope he likes me.â
âNo way, you really like him?â Wen Ruoshuiâs voice became louder. When she realized what was going on, she lowered her voice. âLove at first sight?â
Dongfang Chu had nothing to hide from her. She nodded, her eyes full of happiness, some shyness and nervousness. âShui Shui, what should I do? I think Iâm about to fall in love.â
She had really taken a liking to that man.
âIf you like this person, then go after him. Isnât that what you said?â Wen Ruoshui smiled gently. âMy Chu Chu is such an outstanding person. He canât find someone like you elsewhere. He definitely wonât reject you.â
Dongfang Chu was emboldened by her words. She took a deep breath and looked at the man sitting in the front row, not far from Huo Ci and the rest. âThen when itâs over, Iâll go find him and ask for his contact details, alright?â
Wen Ruoshui shook her head. âNo, you already said that girls canât be too proactive. He just smiled at you. Heâll definitely take the initiative to look for you.â
âAre you serious? Donât lie to me.â Dongfang Chu had always been very confident in herself, but she was afraid now. âIf he doesnât have any feelings for me, how embarrassing would that be?â
Wen Ruoshui could not judge this kind of thing. She was not the person involved. âIf you like him and he likes you, there will be a magical connection between the two of you.â
Dongfang Chu looked at her nervously. âWhat do you mean?â
Wen Ruoshui thought for a moment. How could she describe it to her? âI canât say for sure. Itâs just a feeling. You can feel that heâs paying attention to you and he cares about you.â
Dongfang Chu shook her head like a deflated ball. âI canât feel him paying attention to me. I think heâs smiling at you, not me.â
Wen Ruoshui actually didnât care much about him just now. She really couldnât tell who he was smiling at. âChu Chu, you have to be confident in yourself. If you really like him, donât miss this chance.â
