Yun Chuchu watched her departing back and seethed with anger secretly. Why was it different from what she had expected?
Wen Sining came out of the restroom and saw Lu Luochen still standing there waiting for her. She walked towards him.
Lu Luochen watched her approaching. "Why did you take so long?"
"It's just too troublesome to go to the toilet in this dress." Wen Sining didn't tell him what had happened to her in the restroom just now because she thought it was completely unnecessary.
Lu Luochen smiled. "The auction is about to start. Let's go now."
Wen Sining nodded. They took their number tags and took their seats in the corresponding positions.
The others also entered the venue one after another. As soon as Yun Chuchu came in, she saw the seats where Wen Sining and Lu Luochen were sitting.
She hooked the corner of her mouth maliciously. This time, she had come specifically to trip Lu Luochen up.
She could see the two of them very clearly from this position, which she had deliberately chosen.
The auction started soon. The items presented at the beginning were not very important. It wasn't until the end that the item Lu Luochen wanted finally made its appearance.
The auctioneer introduced it on the stage, and the appearance of the auction item also appeared on the big screen.
"Next, I'd like to introduce to you this product, a necklace called the Heart of Eternity. The designer's concept is to be your beloved for a lifetime. In the middle of the necklace is a one - carat Pink Star diamond. This kind of diamond is very precious and also represents the hearts of two lovers."
"The starting price is 20 million. Now, the bidding begins."
The others raised their bidding cards one after another. Lu Luochen also picked up the card in his hand and waved it. "30 million," he called out directly.
"You're going to bid for this?" Wen Sining asked after hearing Lu Luochen's voice.
Lu Luochen nodded.
"I'll add another 10 million. 40 million," someone behind him started bidding against Lu Luochen.
"45 million."
"50 million."
"60 million."
"80 million."
Lu Luochen directly added 20 million. After hearing his voice, the others put down their bidding cards one after another.
"90 million." Yun Chuchu picked up the card in her hand, said a number, and then put it down.
"95 million." Lu Luochen continued to bid.
"100 million." Yun Chuchu called out again.
"150 million." Lu Luochen continued to bid against her.
"200 million." Yun Chuchu kept on bidding.
The people on the scene weren't stupid. They could tell that Yun Chuchu was deliberately provoking Lu Luochen.
Wen Sining, sitting beside Lu Luochen, also looked in the direction of the sound. Yun Chuchu happened to look over too and gave a provocative smile.
Wen Sining frowned unhappily. Lu Luochen picked up the card and was about to continue bidding. He was determined to get this necklace tonight.
Just as he was about to raise the number tag into the air, Wen Sining pressed his hand down. "Don't bid anymore. Can't you see that she's deliberately provoking you?"
"I know, but I came here for this necklace tonight." Lu Luochen didn't want to give up like this. Wen Sining thought that this necklace wasn't worth the price. Although the Pink Star diamond was very precious, it wasn't necessary to bid so high.
"I know you wanted to give this necklace to me, but I don't need it. Take my advice. Since Yun Chuchu likes it, let's just give it to her."
Lu Luochen looked at the stubborn look on Wen Sining's face, thought for a while, and then put down the number tag in his hand.
The auctioneer saw that no one was bidding anymore and said, "200 million for the first time."
Yun Chuchu was waiting for Lu Luochen to bid against her again, but he didn't say a word for a long time. Moreover, Mr. X had only prepared 150 million for her. Now the price had reached 200 million, and she would have to make up the remaining 50 million herself. It was really not worth it.
"200 million for the second time."
"200 million for the third time."
"Sold! Let's congratulate this young lady."
Applause rang out on the scene.
In the end, Yun Chuchu won the bid for this necklace.
The auction ended like this. They walked out of the venue. Lu Luochen was a bit unhappy. He couldn't understand why Wen Sining had asked him to stop just now.
Wen Sining also felt the low - pressure atmosphere around this person and asked, "What's wrong? Are you angry?"
Lu Luochen looked at her, didn't hide it, and nodded.
"What's there to be angry about? I saved you a fortune. You don't even praise me." Wen Sining deliberately said in a half - joking tone.
Just as Lu Luochen was about to answer, he saw Yun Chuchu coming out. She looked at Lu Luochen and said, "Isn't this our President Lu? Do you want this necklace? If you do, beg me and maybe I'll give it to you."
"I don't need it." After saying that, Wen Sining took Lu Luochen's arm and walked forward.
Failing in her two attempts to provoke them made Yun Chuchu feel very uncomfortable. She didn't have any sense of accomplishment at all.
Wen Sining and Lu Luochen got into the car. Since they had both drunk a little wine, they asked the driver to drive while they sat in the back seat.
"Are you still angry?" Wen Sining asked.
Lu Luochen shook his head. "I'm not angry anymore. Actually, I wasn't really angry. I originally wanted to bid for this necklace for you, but unexpectedly, Yun Chuchu snatched it away."
"It doesn't matter." Actually, Wen Sining didn't really care about these things. All she cared about was being able to be with Lu Luochen.
Seeing Wen Sining being so understanding, Lu Luochen tightly held her hand.
It was already ten o'clock when they got home. Wen Sining hadn't eaten much at the auction. She took off her evening dress first because it was a bit inconvenient to move around in it.
"Do you want something to eat?" Lu Luochen asked. Wen Sining hadn't eaten well all day.
Wen Sining got up from the bed and looked at him. "Yes. What are you going to cook? Do you need my help?"
"No. Just have a good rest. I'll just simply cook some noodles." After wearing high - heels for so long and standing with him for a while, she must be tired.
Wen Sining nodded cheerfully. "Then I'll trouble you."
Lu Luochen smiled and turned to go to the kitchen.
Wen Sining watched Lu Luochen leave. She picked up her phone and found that Qiao Xi had called her at nine o'clock. She took this opportunity to call back.
Qiao Xi answered the phone.
"Xixi, I was busy when you called me just now. What's up?"
"Feng Jingcheng and I are going on our honeymoon abroad. I just wanted to ask if you and Lu Luochen would like to go with us?" Qiao Xi said.
Wen Sining glanced at Lu Luochen who was still busy in the kitchen. They definitely didn't have the time, so she declined. "We'd better not disturb you and Feng Jingcheng."
"That's okay. Then Feng Jingcheng and I will go."
