Chapter 4

The on-stage auction officially begins.

Routine some antique jewelry.

Shen Yiyan couldn't help but look at Yue Wanxia's back. It was too similar, so similar that he just looked at her from a distance, as if she was still alive and had not left him.

"The next necklace is a set of ice blue jade jewelry. It came from abroad in the 80th century and has the title of Star of the Deep Sea..."

Yue Wanxia raised her hand.

This is her first auction.

Shen Yiyan's heart trembled suddenly. It was Chu Xue's seventy-eighth birthday and her mother bought her as a coming-of-age gift.

She has said countless times that it is her most precious jewelry.

Shen Yiyan immediately raised his hand and followed the price.

"Fifteen million."

Yue Wanxia continued to follow without hesitation.

The price increases all the way to 50 million.

Yue Yifan suddenly raised his hand.

"Ninety million!"

Everyone was in an uproar. This jewelry was not worth the price at all!
  Yue Yifan smiled heartily: "It's hard to buy something that my sister likes. If my sister likes something, I will have to buy it if I have to spend all my money on it."

Shen Yiyan raised his sign again.

"Ninety-eight million."

In an instant, the whole place was boiling.

Yue Wanxia looked sideways and happened to meet Shen Yiyan's eyes.

Shen Yiyan: "This necklace is very important to me. I will buy it no matter how high the price is."

Yue Wanxia narrowed her eyes: "As far as I know, this necklace seems to have been auctioned by Mr. Shen on his own initiative. If it is really so important, how could it be so?"

Shen Yiyan narrowed his narrow eyes.

He didn't know if he was overthinking it, but he felt that Yue Wanxia's words seemed to be insinuating something else.

He said meaningfully: "I just want to use a better way to get this necklace back."

Yue Wanxia twitched the corner of her mouth with a bit of sarcasm.

She carelessly rubbed her knuckles over and over again, as if she didn't even realize it.

Shen Yiyan took a deep breath.

This is a little trick that Chu Xueqi would do.

When she was enduring displeasure, she would always rub her knuckles to relieve the depression in her heart.

He raised his hand again.

"One hundred million."

Everyone was in an uproar and looked at Shen Yiyan in disbelief.

This amount is far beyond the value of this necklace.

Yue Yifan rolled up his sleeves and said unruly and unconvinced: "I'm trying to grab things with my sister without even seeing if I have the ability. I'm going to keep doing it!"

Yue Wanxia took Yue Yifan's arm.

"No need, Fifth Brother, there is no need to spend so much money on this necklace."

Yue Yifan shook his head and said worriedly: "But aren't you just here for this necklace?"

Yue Wanxia's eyes were dark, but she knew Shen Yiyan too well.

What he wants, he will do whatever it takes to get it.

Just like this necklace.

Although Yue Yifan dotes on her, she doesn't want the Yue family to spend a lot of money on her and pay for her past memories.

"It's all according to what you said, Xiao Xia'er."

Yue Yifan took back his cards and did not continue to follow the price.

The Heart of the Deep Sea was snapped up by Shen Yiyan for 100 million.

After that, Yue Wanxia did not hold up the sign again. Instead, Yue Yifan seemed to take pictures of other valuable jewelry for the sake of her sister's happiness.

The auction has reached intermission.

Yue Wanxia was still sitting there elegantly and dignifiedly. She lightly hooked her fingers in her hair, smiled distantly but enchantingly, and chatted and laughed happily with other wealthy young men who came to chat with her.

Even though her smile didn't reach her eyes, it was cold and distant. This kind of interaction still made Shen Yiyan filled with endless anger.

He is waiting.

Wait until she takes the initiative to find him and ask about the Deep Sea Star.

But she just sat there calmly, as if the auction just now was just a whim of fun for her.

That necklace was not as important to her as he thought.

Mania stains the brow.

After all, Shen Yiyan couldn't keep calm, threw down the wine glass, strode towards Yue Wanxia, ​​and forcibly dragged her to the side hall of the banquet in front of everyone.

He closed the side hall door with his backhand.

His tall figure shrouded Yue Wanxia.

Yue Wanxia still held the wine glass in her hand, shaking it slightly, so casually that she didn't seem to care at all.

This lack of care made the irritability in Shen Yiyan's heart even more intense.

The dark pupils were filled with deep meaning.

His bony fingers pinched Yue Wanxia's chin: "I know you are Chu Xueqi, why don't you admit your identity?"

After a pause, his Adam's apple rolled.

"Are you complaining about what happened to me back then?"

"But that's what your mother owes me. A life is worth a life. I never asked you to leave. Why are you retaliating against me like this!"

Yue Wan Xia's beautiful eyes raised slightly and met those out-of-control yet frantically restrained pupils.

Her dark and bright eyes were the same as Chu Xue's, and even the way she looked at him at this moment was very similar to before.

Silent, his dark eyes only focused on him.

Just this glance was enough to sink Yi Yan's defense line.

Those nightmare moments that had haunted him for three years, those drunken and confused thoughts, all came to his mind at this moment.

He took the wine from her hand and drank it in one gulp.

Yue Wanxia still smiled and said nothing, as if she was a bystander, watching his defense break.

Finally he couldn't hold it any longer.

Shen Yiyan lowered his head, clasped the back of her head with one hand, and kissed her deeply.

Chu Xueqi's lips were always warm.

Because before the kiss, she was already blushing with embarrassment.

But her lips were cold, just like the coldness and alienation in her movements, the coldness of the flower on the high mountain.

It seemed to be reminding him, and it didn't make his heart beat red.

The next second, the woman raised her hand and slapped that handsome face hard.

She wiped her red lips with her slender fingers and squinted her beautiful almond eyes, her dark pupils flashing dangerously.

"Mr. Shen, you are quite rude."

"If this is the way Shen treats people, then I may have to reconsider our cooperation with Shen on the SR project."

Her tone was businesslike and seemed devoid of emotion.

There was a heavy knock on the locked side door.

She turned a deaf ear and just looked at Shen Yiyan coldly.

Shen Yiyan's jaw tightened and his eyes were reddish: "Chu Xueqi, how long are you going to pretend?"

Obviously everything is so similar.

"Mr. Shen, you are really crazy. You should investigate me carefully. Your unfortunate ex-wife and I are very different."

"Or are you just using the name of your ex-wife to chat with me in this unique, self-righteous and affectionate way?"

"Then your calculation is wrong. I have no interest in people like you."

Shen Yiyan tensed his jaw, violent emotions flashing in his pupils.

The air pressure around him also dropped, making people afraid to breathe.

The door on the side was still being knocked hard, and the cell phone rang at an inappropriate time.

He took a deep breath and let out all the anger in his chest. The call came from his cousin Bai Ningning.
