Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue. The words that he was about to say turned into concern.
"Qianxue, Luo Cheng doesn't have good intentions. I have a feeling that he must have some ulterior motive."
It made him feel that something was not right for them to come knocking on his door. How could Li Qianxue not know that Luo Cheng's motives were not pure? She didn't think she needed Su Chenghui to remind her.
"Su Chenghui, I'm not a three-year-old. I don't need you to teach me how to do things, let alone how to look at people."
"…" Silence. Su Chenghui looked at her cold profile and said in a soft voice, "I don't mean to teach you. I just care about you. "
"Thank you." Li Qianxue reopened the register. "But I don't need it."
She didn't need Su Chenghui's care.
The auction soon began. Li Qianxue didn't look at Su Chenghui. Although he wasn't very interested in the items on the stage, he focused all his attention on them.
Finally, it was the jade Buddha that she wanted to buy for Aunt Li.
Although the jade Buddha was from the modern era, the jade was not bad, and the carving skills were good. The starting bid was not expensive either, starting at one million. Every time he added a hundred thousand.
Li Qianxue raised the sign after someone raised it once.
The price of a modern Jade Buddha statue was not considered expensive. However, when Li Qianxue raised it for the third time, Su Chenghui followed suit.
Li Qianxue couldn't help but glance at him. After being married for so many years, she could almost tell what Su Chenghui was thinking.
With her brows furrowed tightly, Li Qianxue raised her card again. At this time, the price of the Jade Buddha had already reached 1.8 million.
This price is about right. However, as soon as Li Qianxue put down the sign, someone behind her directly offered two million yuan.
The voice was a little familiar. Li Qianxue looked behind her. There weren't many people who came to participate today.
She saw Luo Cheng behind her at a glance. If this was what he liked, then she would give it to him. After all, she was just buying it as a gift. She could change it.
She stopped raising her placard, but Su Chenghui raised it again. This time, it was 2.3 million.
Luo Cheng immediately followed and bid 2.4 million. Without batting an eyelid, Su Chenghui made a bid of 2.6 million.
Whispers could be heard in the hall. Many people saw the two of them fighting over a jade Buddha statue that wasn't worth much, and they didn't know what was going on.
Someone looked at the roster again, thinking that he had missed something.
"2.8 million." Luo Cheng also raised the price by 200,000.
"Three million."
When Su Chenghui raised the paddle again, Li Qianxue couldn't help but turn around to look at him. "What are you doing?"
"Don't you like it? I'll buy it and give it to you."
Li Qianxue was so angry that she almost laughed. This man was really enough. "Who needs you to send me off? Do you think I can't afford it? "
"No." Su Chenghui shook his head. "I just want to make you happy."
Su Chenghui was about to raise his paddle when Li Qianxue grabbed his hand.
"Su Chenghui, that's enough."
She only wanted to buy it as a gift. She didn't really like it that much. She didn't need him to send her off.
"Wait a moment."
Su Chenghui avoided her hand and raised his card again. "3.6 million."
"Su Chenghui." Li Qianxue was speechless. What on earth was this man trying to do? Did he think that she would be touched by him doing this?
Luo Cheng, who was behind her, raised the price again. "3.8 million."
When Su Chenghui raised his hand again, Li Qianxue pressed it back hard. "That's enough. Don't bid anymore. I won't take it even if you bid. "
This wasn't what she wanted. Su Chenghui didn't raise his paddle again. He looked at Li Qianxue's enlarged face in front of him. There was a hint of anger in her eyes, as well as some emotions that he couldn't see clearly for a moment.
He wasn't in a hurry to investigate. Instead, he glanced at Li Qianxue's hand that was on his hand.
Unlike when she was tugging at his sleeve just now, Li Qianxue's entire hand was on the back of his hand.
He could feel her soft and slender palm exerting force. He raised his head and met Li Qianxue's gaze.
The distance between the two of them was very close, so close that Su Chenghui couldn't 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 cunning flashed across Su Chenghui's face.
"Yes. Since Qianxue said that she won't let me buy it, then I won't buy it. "
It was just a jade Buddha statue. If Li Qianxue liked it, he would find a better one for her next time.
"Su Chenghui –"
Li Qianxue gritted her teeth. This bastard, how dare he 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. "Okay, I'll listen to you." “
Luo Cheng, who was behind him, had already bought the jade Buddha statue for 3.8 million yuan.
"There are still many treasures below. Qianxue, why don't you see what's good? I'll buy it if you say so. How about that? "
Su Chenghui didn't mean to flatter Li Qianxue at all. Li Qianxue came from a well-educated family and was extremely wealthy. She knew the value of collectibles and the trend of appreciation very well.
"Su Chenghui, just you wait."
Li Qianxue wasn't as thick-skinned as him, and it was impossible for her to lose her temper in public. 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 kiss, right?
There was progress. Not bad. Continue to work hard.
Next, another auction item was auctioned. Li Qianxue resisted the urge to leave. She retreated and stopped looking at Su Chenghui.
Until the end of the auction, Li Qianxue didn't see anything else she wanted.
She couldn't wait to stand up and leave as soon as the auction ended. However, she was blocked by someone 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 inside.
"President Luo, what do you mean?"
"Nothing much. Since you like it, I bought it for you. It wasn't something valuable either. Just accept it for fun. "
Li Qianxue didn't take the box he handed over. She took a small step back. "President Luo, I think you might have misunderstood. I don't like this jade Buddha that much. If President Luo needs any help from me or the Li Corporation, you can make an appointment with my secretary tomorrow morning. What do you think? "
"President Li, don't misunderstand. I really don't mean anything else. I just saw that you seemed to like it, so I wanted to buy it for you."
"President Luo, you're too polite. I really don't need it. Thank you."
Li Qianxue was about to leave after saying that. Luo Cheng didn't give up. He took another step forward and blocked Li Qianxue's path.
This action made Li Qianxue extremely unhappy. It had been a long time since anyone dared to do this.
Before she could react, a hand suddenly appeared on her shoulder.
Su Chenghui had arrived at some point and was standing beside her. His hand was holding her shoulder.
Li Qianxue's body stiffened for a moment. She wanted to break free from his hand. However, Su Chenghui hugged her shoulder even tighter.
"Qianxue, didn't you say that you're going to eat Japanese food tonight? I've already booked the place. Let's go. "
When he spoke, his entire body was facing Li Qianxue. The distance between the two of them was very close.
It gave people the feeling that he wanted to kiss her. Li Qianxue didn't expect him to dare to come again. Her expression was very ugly. From the corner of her eye, she saw the figures walking around. She didn't flare up on the spot. However, the gaze she looked at Su Chenghui could almost kill.
Su Chenghui wasn't anxious when he saw the anger in her eyes. Instead, he turned to look at President Luo. "What a coincidence, President Luo is here too? I'm sorry, I didn't see you just now. "
"It's okay." How could Luo Cheng not see that Su Chenghui did it on purpose? He forced himself to calm down. "President Su, this is –"
"I made an appointment with Qianxue to eat Japanese food together. By the way, President Luo, is there anything you need? If there's nothing else, then we'll take our leave first. "
Luo Cheng knew that he had already lost the best opportunity today. He took a step back and looked at Su Chenghui with an unclear expression.
"It's nothing, President Su."
"Okay. Then we'll leave first. "
Su Chenghui held Li Qianxue's shoulder and walked out. Just as Li Qianxue was about to break free, he moved his face closer to her.
"One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions. Or would you rather go back and pester him? "
"It has nothing to do with you, Su Chenghui. Let go. "
"My heart will ache." Su Chenghui led her all the way outside. "That kind of person isn't worth your trouble. Tomorrow, I'll get someone to investigate what he's thinking. "
Li Qianxue was actually thinking about this problem. Luo Cheng was fine, but he gave her ginseng and jade Buddha statues. What was he trying to do?
While she was thinking seriously, she didn't notice that she had already been led away by Su Chenghui.
Su Chenghui took her all the way to the place where he parked his car, opened the door, and let her get in.
"Alright. Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it. I believe that there will be a time when he reveals a flaw. "
That was true, but Li Qianxue didn't like this feeling. She had always liked to control everything in her own hands, no matter what it was.
"I said, I'll get someone to investigate tomorrow. Find out what his purpose is. Don't worry too much. For the time being, I believe that he won't dare to do anything. "
Who was worried? Who was she? She was Li Qianxue. She wasn't worried.
Li Qianxue was just about to refute when she realized that she was actually sitting in Su Chenghui's car.
"You –" When did she get in?
"Let's go." A smile flashed across Su Chenghui's eyes. "Let's go eat."
"Su Chenghui." Li Qianxue glared at him. "Who wants to eat with you?"
"Didn't we just agree? To eat Japanese food? "
"That's what you said, not what I said."
"Yes. I said it. "Su Chenghui didn't deny it." But, you didn't refuse. "
"You –"
"Alright, this shop is not bad. The boss's Japanese food is very authentic. I really made a reservation. Let's go. "
Li Qianxue looked at his side profile, who was focused on driving, and suddenly snorted.
"Su Chenghui, what are you doing? Do you think that if you do this, I will soften my heart and accept you? You think too little of me. "
"No. I didn't mean that. "
There happened to be a red light ahead. Su Chenghui turned his face to look at her, his expression focused and serious.
"I just want to have a meal with you. I just think that the Japanese restaurant is good and want to invite you to try it. "
Of course, he did have a purpose. First, he didn't have the chance to see Li Qianxue recently. He really wanted to be with her.
Second, he wanted to appear in front of her from time to time and make his presence known in front of her. He would work hard to let her slowly get used to him and accept him again.
The latter one was a long road ahead. However, the former one could be achieved first.
"It's just a meal, Qianxue. That Japanese restaurant is really good. Believe me. "
Li Qianxue didn't say anything. What else could she say now? She was already in Su Chenghui's car. However, she made a mental note of Su Chenghui.
Half an hour later, Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui arrived at the Japanese restaurant he mentioned.
It was a very Japanese style storefront. Li Qianxue thought that Su Chenghui was just saying that he wanted to book a seat, but she didn't expect it to be true.
They entered the private room and sat down on the tatami. The waiter in a kimono came over with the menu. He gestured for the two of them to order.
"Today's caviar is very fresh. Do you want one?"
Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue with a solicitous gaze. "Their sashimi is also very good. You can try it."
Li Qianxue didn't respond to him, but Su Chenghui wasn't annoyed. He ordered the meal according to her usual habits and preferences.
During the whole process, Li Qianxue sat there without moving at all.
After the waiter left, she finally looked at Su Chenghui.
"You said that Luo Cheng was unaccountably solicitous, so he must have ulterior motives. What about you? Su Chenghui? "
"Qianxue …"
"He has ulterior motives. You're not much different."
"No, I don't have a motive."
"You don't have a motive? If you don't have a motive, you brought me here against my will? "
"Is treating you to a meal considered a motive? Is letting you taste delicious food considered a motive? "
"Otherwise?" Li Qianxue was quite impolite. "Su Chenghui, in my opinion, you're the same as Luo Cheng."
"It's different." Su Chenghui shook his head. "I'm more sincere than him."
"Unfortunately, I don't believe it."
"Qianxue, I know you won't believe me, but it doesn't matter. One day, I believe you will believe me. “
It didn't matter if you didn't believe it. Time would prove everything.
Li Qianxue sat motionless. Her expression was quite cold, and her whole person revealed an aura that rejected him a thousand miles away.
Today's events were not within her expectations.
Su Chenghui had kissed her and brought her here.
She should be angry, and she had the right to be angry. But now, she realized that apart from being angry, she did feel a trace of unspeakable gratitude towards him.
After all, compared to Luo Cheng, it was much easier to endure being with Su Chenghui.
Of course, she wouldn't be with Luo Cheng. But just now, she really didn't want to tolerate Luo Cheng anymore.
