C30 Chapter 30

The final auction item was the crystal wine glass that Xia Tinghan had taken a fancy to. Whether it was the material or the cutting, it was perfect beyond words. Xia Tinghan felt that only such a perfect piece of art was worthy of the person he was giving it to.

"The last item of the night is the Blood Crystal Cup, which has an ancient legend that the angel fell in love with the vampiric Andre, and Andre is drawn to the purity of the angel, but Andre needs a lot of blood every day to keep himself alive, and the angel's mission is to protect the living."

"But the angel did not give up. Every day he offered his blood in a crystal cup to the demon king, and the demon king never drank any more of anyone's blood."

"They have never been apart since, so there is a deeper story to this cup, and it requires the other half of the cup to be told by its future owner."

"Then let's start the bidding now. The price is five hundred thousand, and the increment is one hundred and fifty thousand."

Xue Aofeng turned the ring on his little finger and said in a cold voice, "This cup is very interesting."

"Is that so? I don't like it. It's too bloody."

The corner of Xue Aofeng's mouth curled up, but he did not answer.

"Six hundred and fifty thousand." "Eight hundred thousand."

The competition for the bid was very intense, but most of the reason was because of the donor of the cup, Xiao Nan.

"Aren't you very interested? Not bidding?"

"I'm interested in a lot of things, so I don't need to keep all of them with me."

"Aren't you tired of hiding?"

"Then why are you sticking to me?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. It's hard to disobey my father's orders!"

"Same here. I'm just trying to make a living."

"One million five hundred thousand."

Xia Tinghan raised the price after them. The corner of his mouth raised, and he was full of confidence. He was determined to get this cup.

"One million seven hundred thousand."

Ji Siwan's lazy voice rang out, causing the entire auction hall to explode into an uproar. Everyone was trying to guess who this woman who was opposing Young Master Sun of the Xia family was.

"I advise you to stop."

"What's the matter? You've only met her once and you're already thinking about her?"

"You can't afford to offend the Young Master Sun of the Xia family."

"I really can't afford to offend him, but I'm just doing it for fun. It's hard to explain if we don't talk about it."

"Two million."

"Two million going once, two million going twice, is there anyone else who would like to raise the bid? No, I'm going to call for the last time. Two million going thrice, congratulations, Mr. Xia Tinghan."

"This is the first time I've seen you so interested in something."

"Because it's worth it. When I bring him back, you will definitely like him. Maybe you will even let him in."

"Go away. He is not serious at all. What are you going to do with him?"

Xia Zhentian whispered the last sentence in Xia Tinghan's ear. Xia Tinghan smiled and turned his head to look, then turned back again. "Of course, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. That would be interesting."

"You be careful. Porcelain is different from crockery. Don't hurt yourself."

"I won't, Grandfather."

After the auction, it would be socializing. However, in the eyes of those business elites, that was the real business. The auction was just a way to attract more attention.

This was the first time that Xia Tinghan had officially appeared in the public eye, so he naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

Xia Zhentian held Xia Tinghan's hand all the way. Anyone who saw him would know that he was the person Xia Zhentian loved the most.

Lian Muqing tactfully followed behind Xia Tinghan without saying a word, but everyone would still notice him, because those who could follow behind him could be considered to be people of status.

Therefore, Lian Muqing naturally received a lot of attention and a lot of business cards.

"Grandpa, I'll go out with Muqing for a walk. I'll come back to find you later, okay?"

Xia Tinghan smiled and acted coquettishly. Xia Zhentian helplessly patted Xia Tinghan's hand, his face full of love. "Go, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Did you get anything today? I saw that you got to know a lot of people."

"Yes, thank you for helping me."

"What are you thanking me for? Didn't you say that we used to love each other? Although I don't remember, it was nothing."

"Tinghan."

The two of them walked to a big tree beside the garden, and Lian Muqing held Xia Tinghan's hand.

"Are you still angry?"

"What's there to be angry about?"

"Just this afternoon."

"That person? What do you think?"

"He is just my colleague, Wang Yao said. If he was my lover, why would he leave without crying?"

"Really? Then why did he close the door when he saw me? Wasn't he going to discuss with you?"

"Tinghan, he's naked, and you're a stranger. Naturally, he won't let you in."

"Oh, I'm a stranger. So he's your wife?"

"Tinghan. "I... Lian Muqing frowned. He had never known Xia Tinghan to be such a sharp-tongued person. In the past, even if he had done something wrong, Xia Tinghan would immediately forgive him. But now, Xia Tinghan had changed. He would not let go of anything.

"I gave you a chance to woo me, but you'd better not waste it. I don't know why you came to me, I don't know whether you really love me or want to use me. "

"I don't want you to get too close to anyone but me. You can have friends, you can go out and socialize, but I think it would be best to avoid letting people stay naked. "

Xia Tinghan's sour tone dispelled Lian Muqing's doubts, and he was acting like a jealous child.

Lian Muqing smiled and pinched Xia Tinghan's cheek. "I was wrong, okay? The key will be made for you tomorrow. You can come and look at me at any time."

Xia Tinghan took a step forward and wrapped his arms around Lian Muqing's neck. With a light tap of his toes, he raised his head and looked up at Lian Muqing. In the eyes of others, this posture was like a gift to them, and from another angle, it was like a kiss.

Coincidentally, this angle was where Xue Aofeng was standing.

Xue Aofeng stood on the balcony on the second floor, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, watching Xia Tinghan cling onto Lian Muqing like a cat.

Xue Aofeng drank the red wine in one gulp and felt that it was boring. He thought it was a pure daisy, but he didn't expect it to be an experienced lover. Boring.

"You finished it so quickly? I thought you were going to drink for a while, so I even helped you get some food."

"I just suddenly lost my mood."

"That was really sudden. Let me guess what I saw?"

Ji Siwan walked towards the window, expecting to see something interesting, but she did not expect to see flowers all over the courtyard.

"He really is a man who does whatever he wants. It's so hard to control him."
