Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue. The words that he was about to say turned into concern.

“Qianxue, Luo Cheng is up to no good. I have a feeling that he must have some ulterior motive.”

He felt that something was not right when he came looking for her like this. How could Li Qianxue not know that Luo Cheng’s motives were impure? She did not think that she needed Su Chenghui to remind her.

“Su Chenghui, I’m not a three-year-old child. I don’t need you to teach me how to do things, and I certainly don’t need you to teach me how to judge people.”

“…” There was silence. Su Chenghui looked at her cold and elegant side profile, and his voice was gentle as he said, “I didn’t mean to teach you. I’m just concerned about you.”

“Thank you.” Li Qianxue opened the name list again. “But I don’t need it.”

Especially since she didn’t need Su Chenghui’s concern.

The auction began very soon. Li Qianxue didn’t look atT Su Chenghui. Although she wasn’t very interested in the items on the stage, she focused all her attention on them.

Finally, it was the Jade Buddha that she had taken a fancy to and wanted to buy for the aunt of the Li family.

Although the Jade Buddha was modern, the Jade was not bad and the carving skill was good. The starting price was not expensive either. It was one million. Each bid was increased by 100,000.

After someone raised the sign once, Li Qianxue also raised it once.

The price of a modern Jade Buddha was not considered expensive. However, when Li Qianxue raised it for the third time, Su Chenghui followed her bid.

Li Qianxue could not help but look at him. After being married for so many years, she could almost see what Su Chenghui was thinking at a glance.

Her brows were tightly knitted, and Li Qianxue raised her card again. At this time, the price of the Jade Buddha had already reached 1.8 million.

This price was about right. However, just as Li Qianxue put down her card, someone behind her directly bid 2 million.

The voice was a little familiar. Li Qianxue looked behind her. There weren’t many people participating today.

She immediately saw Luo Cheng behind her. If this was what he liked, then she would let him have it. Since it was just a gift, she could change it.

She did not raise her paddle, but Su Chenghui raised it again. This time, it was 2.3 million.

Luo Cheng immediately followed up with a bid of 2.4 million. Su Chenghui did not bat an eye and directly bid 2.6 million.

Wave of whispers had already begun to ring out in the hall. Many people watched as the two people competed for a jade Buddha that was not considered to be of high value, and were momentarily confused.

Some people, thinking that they had missed something, looked at the name list again.

“2.8 million.” Luo Cheng also followed up with a bid of 200,000.

“3 million.”

When Su Chenghui raised the paddle again, Li Qianxue could not hold it in any longer and turned to look at him. “What are you doing?”

“Don’t you like it it? I will buy it for you.”

Out of anger, Li Qianxue almost laughed. This man was really too overbearing. “Who wants you to give it to me? Do you think I can’t afford it?”

“No.” Su Chenghui shook his head. “I just want to make you happy.”

The hall rang with the sound of 3.2 million yuan. Su Chenghui still wanted to raise his paddle, but Li Qianxue grabbed his hand.

“Su Chenghui, that’s enough.”

She only wanted to buy and give him a gift. She didn’t really like him that much. She didn’t need him to give her a gift.

“Wait a moment.”

Su Chenghui avoided her hand and raised his card again. “3.6 million yuan.”

“Su Chenghui.” Li Qianxue was almost speechless. What was this person trying to do? Did he think that she would be moved by his actions?

Luo Cheng, who was behind her, raised the bid again. “3.8 million.”

When Su Chenghui raised his hand again, Li Qianxue pressed it back forcefully. “That’s enough. Don’t bid anymore. Even if you bid, I won’t accept it.”

This was not what she wanted to begin with. Su Chenghui did not raise his paddle again. Looking at Li Qianxue’s enlarged face in front of him, he saw that there was a hint of anger in her eyes. There was also a hint of emotion that he could not see clearly for a moment.

He was not in a hurry to investigate. Instead, he glanced at the hand that Li Qianxue placed on his hand.

Unlike the sleeve that she pulled on him earlier, Li Qianxue’s entire hand was placed on the back of his hand.

He could feel that her soft and slender palm was exerting force. He raised his head and met Li Qianxue’s gaze.

The two of them were very close, so close that Su Chenghui could not help but tilt his face slightly

Realizing that she had been taken advantage of, the anger in Li Qianxue’s eyes became even more obvious. A flash of cunningness flashed across Su Chenghui’s face.

“En. Since Qianxue tells me not to buy it, then I won’t buy it.”

It was just a Jade Buddha. If Li Qianxue liked it, he would find a better one for her next time.

“Su Chenghui –”

Li Qianxue gritted her teeth. This bastard, he actually dared to do such an outrageous thing to her in such a place and on such an occasion?

“Yes.” Su Chenghui smiled and moved his face closer. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Behind him, Luo Cheng had already bought the Jade Buddha for 3.8 million.

“There are still a lot of treasures down there. Qianxue, why don’t you see what’s good? If you say so, I’ll buy it, how about it?”

Su Chenghui didn’t mean to flatter Li Qianxue at all. Li Qianxue came from a rich family. She was very familiar with the value of collectibles.

“Su Chenghui, just you wait.”

Li Qianxue was not as thick-skinned as him, and she could not act out in public like this. She could only let it go.

“Okay, I’ll wait.”

Su Chenghui smiled, and there was obvious joy in his eyes. Although it was just a touch, it was still a touch, right?

There was progress. Not bad. He would keep up the good work.

Next, another auction item was put up. Li Qianxue resisted the urge to leave and no longer looking at Su Chenghui, she retreated.

Until the end of the auction, Li Qianxue did not see anything that she wanted.

Almost as soon as the auction was over, she stood up impatiently, wanting to leave. However, she was blocked at the exit.

Luo Cheng looked at Li Qianxue with a bright smile on his face. “President Li, are you leaving?”

“Yes.” Li Qianxue nodded. She was indeed planning to leave.

“Since President Li is leaving, please take this with you.” As he spoke, Luo Cheng raised the box in his hand.

Li Qianxue already knew what he was talking about and what was in it.

“President Luo, what do you mean?”

“Nothing much. I bought it for you because you like it. It’s not a valuable toy. Just take it and play with it.”

Li Qianxue didn’t take the box from him. She took a small step back. “President Luo, I think you might have misunderstood. I don’t like this Jade Buddha that much. President Luo, if you need my help with anything, or if you need the help of the Li Corporation, you can make an appointment with my secretary tomorrow morning. How about that?”

“President Li, don’t misunderstand. I really didn’t mean anything by it. I just saw that you seemed to like it, so I wanted to buy it and send it to you.”

“President Luo, you’re welcome. I really don’t need it. Thank you.”

After saying that, Li Qianxue was about to leave. However, Luo Cheng didn’t give up. He took another step forward and just happened to block Li Qianxue’s path.

This kind of action made Li Qianxue extremely unhappy. It had been a long time since someone dared to do this.
