When Aoi Hong was about to accept the glass of wine from the waiter, the system in her head warned her.
{Aphrodisiac spotted.}
{“What? Where?”}
{Inside of the glass of wine.}
Refusing the drink, Aoi Hong tried to trace down the culprit unsuccessfully. While she was walking to Li Jie’s table, someone hit her shoulder, causing her to flip the plate, and the cakes to drop on the floor. Her cakes! She looked up with murderous intent at the woman’s sharp jawline, big eyes, and full plump lips as if any second, she too, would drop the woman on the floor.
The woman wore a revealing dress that really emphasized her huge implants stuck to her chest and heavy make up. This woman had to be the actress who confessed her love to Quin Yu inside the private jet but was coldly turned down for breaching a contract.
.....
Seeing Aoi Hong’s confused expression, the woman hissed in hatred, “You think Quin Yu will continue boosting your career forever? You’re just a plaything he’ll get rid of as soon as he gets what he wants like he did of me!”
Aoi Hong pointed her finger at the woman in realization, “Oh, it’s you! I almost couldn’t recognize you. What happened to your chin, cheeks, lips, and... eyes? Are you alright? You don’t look very healthy. Should I call a doctor for you?”
“You!” Glaring at Aoi Hong unbelievably, the woman quickly looked around to hide her shame, “Aoi Hong, don’t be too confident!” Full of contempt, she pointed at the entrance, at Quin Yu and Silika Lin who appeared together, “Look. He just found new prey!”
Aoi Hong was not the same silly girl she was before. Her presence was very strong when she showed her face that depicted cynicism. In addition, her voice was laced with laziness as if she wasn’t a bit affected, “She is married.”
“Yes, but to whom?” The woman sneered in mirth, “How could a puny scientist, a complete nobody, compare to the irresistible Quin Yu?”
This hotel belonged to the Quins. Aoi Hong was genuinely surprised when Quin Yu occupied the top floor exclusively for himself. As expected of the most powerful villain in the world. He fulfilled every woman’s fantasy about men. An epitome of masculinity, a walking pheromone! It was only a matter of time before Silika got attracted to him too!
Aoi Hong walked up to Quin Yu, hooking her arm around his, she made an effort to press her lips against his cheek, “Honey, what took you so long? I was getting bored.”
Aoi Hong thought Silika was bothering Quin Yu. Quin Yu often used her as a repellent against other women. For the sake of the best food, she had to endure this villain’s dictatorship! What was love? Could she eat it?
Because of being bedridden in her past life, Aoi Hong now promised herself to visit every place and try every delicacy in the world! As a renowned actress, she should have the money to afford it, right? No, because she somehow owed this big bad guy too much money!
Moreover, why did this villain keep chasing after Aoi Hong? And why did her face turn red, and her mouth drool in hunger whenever she faced him? Shoo, shoo! She finished her mission, and was no longer interested in being contracted!
Quin Yu was taken by surprise by Aoi Hong’s sudden move. She was getting bolder day by day.
Suddenly the lights dimmed and a person walked over to the stage to announce that the auction was starting. What could turn a fun gala into an exciting one? A live auction! The community looked forward all year to bid on the industry’s biggest names from the worlds of sport, entertainment, and more.
Bing Shi walked around soundlessly, quietly waiting for her turn. One by one, the celebrities were blinded by the stage light as the auctioneer kept the donors engaged with an unforgettable night. She couldn’t believe how bright that darn thing was until she was attacked by one during her theater play.
The auctioneer created a sense of anticipation and excitement for all the contestants. Drawing on the celebrities’ boundless charisma and force of personality, the auctioneer set the stage for an all-out bidding war to emerge, “Silika Lin, a singer, songwriter, actress, model, entrepreneur, and a proud graduate of Pujing State University!”
The light guy had a hell of a hard time spotting the next victim of his flashbang. He just saw Silika Lin there a second ago? Where did she disappear?! “...”
The auctioneer couldn’t waste any more time as he tried to lure that woman by force, “She collaborated with one of the world’s most famous producers, Li Jie. In addition to her highly successful career, she is also a noted philanthropist. Don’t let this experience stop there. She is offering more than a self-defense class with you. She also wants to invite YOU for an intimate lunch in the heart of Pujing City!”
The guests’ eyes followed the flustered stage light with laughter tumbling out their mouths as they raised their cards to bid on the concealed actress. When the light finally stopped on Silika Lin, their insides spiraled in frantic eddies of suspense. Something inside their stomach clenched at the overwhelming sense of power emanating from that unfamiliar man by her side. His ruthless beauty of masculine visage loomed over them.
“Wife.” A thin line of impatience stretched his mouth. The man’s voice was deep. It was obvious he was a bit annoyed. There was a subtle hint of mint and sandalwood scent that wafted from him courtesy of a slight breeze, “What if someone outbids me?” he asked softly while raising Bing Shi’s card, quiet yet enough to puncture everyone’s senses, waking the auctioneer from a stunned stupor, “Would you still love me?”
“Ehm...Mister... It’s prohibited to bid on oneself... you can’t use Mrs. Lin’s card.” The auctioneer reminded him. Didn’t Silika’s husband have blue eyes? This one had black. His features were very similar though. Contact lenses? How shameless could he get? Was he really going to use his wife’s money to bid on his wife? Hm? Wasn’t the person who ran over to give that mysterious man a card... Binfinity’s representative? Oh. No. Did he just insult someone he shouldn’t?!
Tight, yet exquisitely gentle, large and strong hands around her waist. The hold alone told Bing Shi everything in the span of a few seconds. He was slightly taller than her, so it was necessary that one tilt their head when meeting his gaze.
The warmth in her eyes flared higher than the blinding stage light that was currently blazing at them, “We’re helping a worthy cause, the well-being of children across the whole world, so be sure to win me or we’re getting a... divorce.”
Sounding a bit playful, she lifted a photo before his eyes, so only he could see. The photo was something she kept as a memento from the conversation with Quin Yu.
“One million,” Quin Yu raised his cards as soon as Silika Lin finished her sentence. She had to be really affected by those pictures, to threaten her husband in front of everyone. If he outbid Lu Kai, they would divorce. If not, then this would surely weaken Lu Kai’s standing in Binfinity.
“Two million,” Mo Luwei raised his card. This was a win-win situation. He wanted to see if that woman would still be so cocky if her man fell before everyone’s eyes.
Ouch! Everyone felt their hearts bleeding for Silika Lin’s husband.
Xuan Mu swallowed a growl of amused frustration, holding onto her narrow waist, caging her tightly. She was a coincidence. His beautiful coincidence. His wild eyes turned somber, drifting with purpose from her and landing on Quin Yu, fully disregarding Mo Luwei, “Ten million.”
Bing Shi forced all the three men to bid on her for reasons unknown, but there was this thing one could be sure of and that was: none of them did it because they took interest in her nor because they wanted to obtain her for themselves.
