"Elder Lan, Miss Lan, we've arrived."
Liu Gongxi said respectfully, giving a slight bow.
"Thank you, Lord Liu," Lan Yingying replied, her tone placid and faintly distant.
"It's no trouble at all! It's my duty," Liu Gongxi said with a smile. "It is my honor to be of service to Elder Lan and Miss Lan!"
Lan Yingying gave a slight nod and, without further pleasantries, stepped into the private box before them. Lan Yingjun followed close behind.
"The auction will last three days. I hope you both acquire many wonderful treasures!"
At the door to the box, Liu Gongxi offered a couple more compliments, then clasped his hands and took his leave.
