Mother Yuan laughed when she heard that. "I say, aren't you and your brother worrying too much? He said the same thing. How can a tourist city be so chaotic?"
Yuan Xi tightened her grip on Mother Yuan's hand. She did not expect Yuan Hen to say something like that. "What else did Yuan Hen say to you?"
"He did not say much. He just gave me a card and told me to choose my New Year's gift when I go abroad." Mother Yuan's gaze softened. She sighed. "Although Yuan Hen is not my biological son, he does have a heart."
"What heart does he have? He doesn't have any good intentions! Mom, you've been deceived by him! "Yuan Xi could not help but mock her mother when she heard that.
When Mother Yuan saw that her daughter's tone had become sharp, she could not help but recall that she had suddenly become prejudiced against Yuan Huan since a few years ago. She could not help but subconsciously speak up for Yuan Huan, "Xiao Xi, your eldest brother is not that kind of person. Have you misunderstood him in some way? I think you should … "
Yuan Xi retracted her hand sadly and looked away. She did not wait for Mother Yuan to finish and interrupted her. "Mom, I want to be alone for a while."
Mother Yuan opened her mouth, but in the end, she only let out a soft sigh. She stood up and pulled the coat around her. "Alright then."
The door closed. Yuan Xi laid on the table weakly. She buried her head under her arms, feeling helpless and lost.
Yuan Hen gave her a choice that she could not choose from.
It was a painful choice no matter how she chose.
It would be great if she could be free. She would not have to face anything.
Yuan Xi thought to herself.
Mother Yuan had just walked out of Yuan Xi's room and went downstairs. She bumped into Yuan Hen who had just returned.
Yuan Hen looked at her worried face and pondered for a while. He then asked, "Aunty, what happened?"
Mother Yuan pursed her lips and forced a smile. "It's Xiao Xi. She has been locked in her room for the whole day. I don't know what mood she's in. I'm having a headache."
Yuan Hen glanced at the second floor and twirled the black ring on his finger. "Maybe she's under a lot of pressure from her studies. Don't worry too much."
Mother Yuan sighed.
"I'll go up and take a look at her." Yuan Huan's voice was gentle. He was a cultured man and didn't seem to have any ill intentions.
Mother Yuan initially thought that her daughter was prejudiced against him and wanted to say no, but when she saw how concerned Yuan Huan was, she finally nodded and said, "Alright, help Auntie talk to her."
Yuan Hen nodded slightly and agreed. Then, he walked up the stairs unhurriedly.

In the auction house.
Zhuo Yun ordered some snacks and placed them on the table next to Huo Yao. Since they were now friends, he took out the auction list and handed it to her.
"These are the auction items for today. Take a look and if there's anything you like, you can bid for it."
Huo Yao raised her brow and slowly flipped through the items on the list. She marveled inwardly at how valuable they were.
Apart from a few antiques that only existed in history books, there were also priceless diamonds and jades. However, when Huo Yao saw the last item, which was also the finale of the auction, a strange look appeared on her face.
She tilted her head to look at Zhuo Yun and pointed at the last item. She asked in astonishment, "Is this medicine more valuable than antiques?"
