Their eye contact was like a standoff.

Yet, Xia Yangyang did not back off.

Compared to Gu Qichen’s icy rage, Xia Yangyang’s face was more composed.

It was as if Gu Qichen’s presence no longer held any significance to her.

Gu Qichen couldn’t read the emotions concealed in Xia Yangyang’s eyes.

How could this woman be so calm?

Gu Qichen suddenly turned, heading towards the auction area.

Xia Weiwei glanced at Xia Yangyang before quickly following Gu Qichen.

She reached out intending to grasp Gu Qichen’s arm.

Gu Qichen turned his head to look at her, his eyebrows furrowing.

In the end, Xia Weiwei withdrew her hand and stopped in her tracks.

It had been such a long time.

Although Gu Qichen would occasionally gaze at her,

They never had any intimate physical contact.

Xia Weiwei, unlike before, did not dare to get too close to him on her own initiative.

Feeling disheartened that they hadn’t even held hands yet, Xia Weiwei was especially disappointed.

The things she told Xia Yangyang were nearly all figments of her own imagination.

Just how unwilling she was in her heart, only she herself knew.

The auction had already begun on the other end.

The first item on auction was a silver bracelet.

The auctioneer began the introduction, “This is a silver bracelet Miss Xia has worn since she was a child. Symbolizing safety and smooth sailing. Although this bracelet is silver, it was personally designed and made by Master Silversmith Lu Yi. The starting bid is ten thousand.”

To those present at this birthday auction, ten thousand was a drop in the ocean.

Everyone knew that this silver bracelet was just the opening act.

Even though it was designed by Mr. Lu Yi, it was still made of silver after all.

It didn’t hold much collectible value.

However, today was the birthday banquet for the second Miss.

Everyone was willing to do her the favor.

People began to raise their bidding signs.

“Twenty thousand!”

“Thirty thousand!”

“Fifty thousand!”

“Fifty-five thousand!”

The price of the bracelet slowly climbed up.

In the end, it settled at one hundred thousand.

The auctioneer began calling out the price, “One hundred thousand once, one hundred thousand twice…”

The fact that an old-fashioned silver bracelet could fetch a hundred thousand.

Already showed that the guests were trying to show their support.

Xia Weiwei, standing on the side, looked tense.

All her attention was on Gu Qichen.

This bracelet wasn’t hers, but Xia Yangyang’s.

Xia Weiwei had already told Gu Qichen about it.

Gu Qichen came today for this bracelet.

But somewhere in her heart, Xia Weiwei hoped that Gu Qichen wouldn’t buy the bracelet.

Until now, Gu Qichen hadn’t bid.

Maybe he wasn’t interested in the bracelet, and attending her birthday banquet was his sincere way of celebrating?

Or perhaps Xia Yangyang was already in front of him, and he didn’t need to purchase a worthless bracelet to reminisce?

“One hundred three thousand…”

“Two million!” Gu Qichen suddenly uttered.

With his words, the venue abruptly fell silent.

Everyone was taken aback as they looked at each other as if they couldn’t grasp what had just happened.

Even the auctioneer was stunned for a second.

A look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

But a second later, he professionally announced, “This gentleman has bid two million. Does anyone offer more than two million? Two million once, two million twice, two million thrice, congratulations to this gentleman for purchasing Miss Xia’s silver bracelet for two million.”

Everyone was shocked.

The auction had just begun and already there was a bombshell.

Someone was willing to buy a bracelet of little value for two million. What did this imply?
