Xin Qing couldn't understand why foreigners were so enthusiastic about masquerade parties.
An auction was like a masquerade party. Every guest couldn't show their faces, and the number on the bidding board was their only proof of identity. As the auctioneer, Xin Qing had a special magnetic card. As long as she carried the magnetic card with her, her identity would be revealed when she walked through the machine at the entrance.
Because she didn't want to dress up, Xin Qing simply disguised herself as an Arabian woman. She was covered from head to toe in a light golden robe, only revealing her eyes. Before she set off, she thought for a while and decided to wear a teardrop-shaped ruby necklace on her forehead as a head ornament. It looked bright and fresh, making the originally rigid robe look mysterious and sexy.
Dressed as a Greek warrior, Rang stood behind her. His short and fat figure made him look particularly funny. He didn't care at all. He proudly introduced that other than the pink diamond, there were three other diamonds in today's auction that were produced by their mine.
When the auction was about to start, Xin Qing saw a man in a prince's suit walk in. For some reason, Xin Qing recognized the man at first glance. It was hard to tell if that person had glanced at Xin Qing intentionally or unintentionally.
The pink diamond was the last to be auctioned. Just as it was about to be auctioned off, another man walked in. He was wearing a black tuxedo and a silver mask on his face. His eyes fell on Xin Qing unscrupulously. Xin Qing stared at him with her eyes wide open.
Ying Qingcang!! Why was he here?
After the auctioneer announced the start of the auction, Xin Qing held her forehead as she watched Ying Qingcang and William argue with each other. William was the man who had disguised himself as a prince at the beginning. Xin Qing didn't know why she could recognize him at first glance. She thought it was because of his temperament. That man's temperament was like that of a prince in ancient times, gentle and calm. As the saying went, a prince was like jade, which was the best description. Unlike a certain someone …
Xin Qing stared at Ying Qingcang, who had raised his card again. Was he crazy? Spending so much money on a diamond? Why didn't he just say what he wanted? That was his to begin with. Xin Qing tried not to let herself think that he wanted that diamond to propose to Jasmine.
Neither of the two men agreed. Beside them, Rang kept shaking his big belly in excitement. "Miss Xin, it seems that our diamond is going to surpass the blue diamond from a few years ago. It's not a big deal. Although ours are a little small, jewelry is usually bought for women. Women definitely like romantic pink, "he said to himself." I wonder who those two gentlemen are going to give it to! "
"Can't she keep it for herself?" Xin Qing said angrily.
She didn't notice that there was something wrong with her tone and even explained kindly, "Miss Xin, that's impossible! In the aristocratic circle, a man wearing a pink diamond is not a good symbol! "
"What do you mean?" Xin Qing didn't know there was such a thing.
Jean whispered, "That means he's a kept man of a noble."
Xin Qing said, "Ah." She felt that the aristocratic circle was really messy.
The hammer fell, and the auctioneer's voice sounded excitedly. "Congratulations to Mr. 99 for winning the diamond with 14 million!"
Xin Qing's face darkened. Number 99 was Ying Qingcang.
"I'm not feeling well. I'll go back first. You can deal with the rest yourself!" Xin Qing stood up and left after saying that.
The west side of the castle had been converted into a hotel. Most of the guests who came to participate in the auction stayed here. Xin Qing went back and waited for Ying Qingcang anxiously.
She waited until it was dark, but he still didn't show up. She was a little overwhelmed. Did he leave after buying the diamond? He didn't even want to see her? But why did he want to see her? It didn't matter anymore.
Xin Qing tried hard to convince herself, but she still couldn't hold back. She covered her face and cried. When she was tired from crying, she took a shower and prepared to go to the restaurant for dinner.
"Miss Xin!" As soon as she sat down, she saw the people at the table next to her greeting her. William sat there and looked at her with a smile. He gestured for her to take a seat. Xin Qing walked over and sat down. "It's a pity that you didn't win the diamond. You can't give it to the girl in your heart."
William smiled. "How did you recognize me?"
"Intuition." Xin Qing spread her hands. "Or should I say … a woman's intuition?"
"Haha! Can your intuition tell you who was the one who competed with me for the diamond today? "
Xin Qing was stunned. Did he know that it was Ying Qingcang who won the diamond?
Seeing her like this, William's lips curled up even wider. "Okay, okay. I'm just kidding!"
"Haha!" Xin Qing laughed dryly and changed the topic. "By the way, I'll treat you to this meal. Consider it as repayment for your help." Xin Qing felt very embarrassed. William had asked CK to give in. Although he said that it wasn't for her sake, he didn't win the diamond either.
… Especially when the one who competed with him for the diamond was Ying Qingcang. Xin Qing felt as if she had snatched it from him.
"Sure!" William didn't stand on ceremony. He called the waiter over to order. The two of them chatted as they ate, just like old friends. Xin Qing realized that William was very familiar with Chinese culture, but he had never been to China.
"If you have time in the future, I'll be your tour guide!" Xin Qing raised her wine glass.
William clinked it with her and said with a deep smile, "That day will definitely come!"
Xin Qing unintentionally turned her head when she put down her wine glass. Then she froze. Ying Qingcang had been sitting on their left for a long time. She couldn't tell if he was happy or angry, but his eyes looked as if he was going to pounce on them at any moment.
Xin Qing even had the illusion that she was going to be torn apart. She shivered. William noticed that her face had suddenly turned pale. He followed her gaze and saw that Ying Qingcang had already walked over.
"You are …" William thought for a moment and stood up. "You're Miss Xin's husband?" He tilted his head and said jokingly to Xin Qing, "Why do you look like you've seen a ghost every time you see your husband?"
Xin Qing's heart raced for a long time before she calmed herself down. Why was she so nervous? Thinking about it, she looked much better. She sat still and said, "Mr. William, you've misunderstood. We're not husband and wife."
"You're not?" William said in surprise. "Then you have … children?"
Ying Qingcang interrupted Xin Qing, who was about to explain. He looked at her coldly and said, "You don't want Asha anymore, do you?"
Xin Qing's face darkened and she didn't say anything.
"I'm sorry you had to see that. She's just throwing a tantrum with me!" Ying Qingcang said in a relaxed tone. He pulled out a chair and sat down.
William shook his head and smiled. "I finally understand why … Oh, I still don't know your surname."
"My surname is Ying." Ying Qingcang's attitude was very cooperative. He was completely different from his usual impatient attitude.
"Mr. Ying, I'm William. Nice to meet you!" William reached out and shook Ying Qingcang's hand. He continued, "No wonder Mr. Ying was willing to spend 14 million to buy the diamond. It turns out that he wanted to make Miss Xin happy!"
"How did you know it was him?" Xin Qing regretted her words as soon as she finished speaking. It was obvious that she had exposed herself.
William blinked. "A man's intuition!"
"Your intuition is really accurate." Ying Qingcang raised the corner of his mouth and squinted at Xin Qing. "Honey, are you full?"
Xin Qing stammered nervously, "What … What?"
"If you're full, go back to your room. I even gave you the diamond. Don't be angry with me." After saying that, he pulled Xin Qing up without waiting for her reply. He turned to William and said, "Then we'll go first!"
William stood up and saw them out. "Let's have dinner together if we have the chance."
"There will definitely be a chance." Ying Qingcang smiled meaningfully. For some reason, Xin Qing felt that there was something wrong with these two men before.
As soon as they entered the room, Xin Qing looked at Ying Qingcang's cold face. Suddenly, she thought of something and rushed into the bedroom. She searched the wall by the bed for a long time. Ying Qingcang walked in slowly and leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed. "Are you looking for something? The hotels here don't have this kind of service. Besides … even if there is, it's not suitable for us to use it now. "
Xin Qing glared at him. "What on earth do you want?"
"I don't want to do anything." Ying Qingcang walked to the bed and sat down. Xin Qing took a few steps back vigilantly. "Then why did you come to bid for the diamond?"
Ying Qingcang leaned against the head of the bed casually. "I want to give a necklace to someone. I happen to lack a diamond, so I came here."
"If you want it, you can just take it. You don't have to spend so much money to buy it. It's yours." Xin Qing felt a little sour in her heart and clenched her fists.
Ying Qingcang glanced at her. "How can I do that? That's too insincere." After that, he took out a box from his pocket and threw it on the bed. "Here, the diamond is for you."
"I don't want it!" Xin Qing yelled. "Don't you want to give it to someone?"
Ying Qingcang stood up and looked at her. "What are you thinking? I asked you to design a necklace for me. Do you want me to give a naked diamond to someone? "
Not only did he gift a necklace to another woman, he even asked her to design it? Xin Qing's brain was about to explode. She picked up the box and threw it at Ying Qingcang. "Go to hell. I won't design it for you." After that, she picked up her luggage and ran out. She wanted to get out of here. She didn't want to stay with this man for another minute.
Xin Qing took a taxi back to the city. On the way, she opened the window and blew hard, for fear that her tears would fall. She was in a daze and didn't notice that a car had been following her.
"Young Master, something seems wrong with Miss." Ah Chul slowly parked the car by the side of the road. He watched Xin Qing get out of the taxi and then stand in front of the door for a long time without moving. It was completely dark, and he couldn't see what she was doing there.
Ying Qingcang frowned. When he was thinking about whether to get out of the car to check on Xin Qing, he saw that her body suddenly went soft and she fell to the ground. Before Ah Chul had time to say anything, Ying Qingcang had rushed out of the car. He ran across the road in a few steps and picked her up. Ah Chul quickly followed him and opened the door.
"Go buy some medicine. She has a fever." Ying Qingcang's face was cold. He touched Xin Qing's forehead and said, "You are really troublesome. You bragged all the way. Look at what happened now …"
In a daze, Xin Qing felt that someone was taking off her clothes. She wanted to struggle, but she didn't have the strength. Then she suddenly cried and shouted incoherently.
"Ying Qingcang, help … me."
