Yi Qingcheng held her a bit tighter and chuckled, "I'm just teasing you. Play along with me, I don't want other women bothering me anymore."
Su Yan, looking surprised and a bit skeptical, looked up and met his eyes, which held a teasing glint, and she chose to believe him.
She had just witnessed it herself; whenever those women saw him alone, they would swarm around to make his acquaintance.
He had indeed spent quite some time dealing with those women.
Perhaps he was genuinely bothered, which explained his affectionate behavior towards her.
After realizing this, Su Yan felt less nervous and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Now she was still somewhat confused, so she asked not to be overwhelmed and to be given some time to think things over…
About an hour into the social event came the auction.
The auction was held on the fifth floor of the building.
Everyone moved from the dining room on the third floor to the fifth floor, where a large auction hall awaited.
