Lu Mian took a glance and immediately looked away. “It’s good that you like it.”
“Really? I wore this on purpose!” Ning Lan tugged at the hem of her skirt shyly, her ears tinged with a touch of crimson.
Cheng Yi watched from behind, clutching his forehead and sighing. Such was the passion of a successful man. Ning Lan’s personality had not changed at all. Ever since she was young, she had only liked Lu Mian.
“Brother Lu Mian, you wish to break into the entertainment industry, right?” Ning Lan looked at the person beside her who towered over her and lowered her head in embarrassment. “I’ve talked to my family and I plan to come here to take a look.”
Lu Mian frowned. “What does that have to do with me?”
Ning Lan did not care about Lu Mian’s attitude at all. She continued happily, “Then, can I learn from you? Brother Lu Mian, I’ll be able to see you every day when I stay here.”
“No need.” Lu Mian continued walking with a cold face. His footsteps also quickened a little.
Ning Lan had to jog to catch up. There was some hurt in her eyes, but she quickly regained her enthusiasm.
“Miss Ning, the auction is about to start. We have to hurry.” Cheng Yi nudged Lu Mian with his elbow and used his eyes to tell him that Ning Lan was falling behind.
Lu Mian understood but it did not concern him.
Cheng Yi’s head hurt. How could he serve these two big shots!?
“Brother Lu Mian, wait for me!” Ning Lan took the initiative to hold Lu Mian’s arm.
Lu Mian looked at the annoying hand and said, “Ning Lan, I don’t like people touching me. Let go.”
Ning Lan clenched her other hand and let go. She smiled again and said, “Okay, since brother Lu Mian doesn’t like it, I won’t touch it.”
While caught up in the interaction between the two people, Cheng Yi heard something in the distance…
“The auction is starting!”Cheng Yi wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at the auction that was finally starting. This was the straw that saved his life.
The charity event was starting!
The third item was a diamond necklace called “True Love”. It was inlaid with the largest diamond ever found in South Africa, also known as the stone of true love. The diamond gave off a colorful glow under the lights, it was as if whoever had it would have the love of their life.
Ning Lan looked at Lu Mian expectantly, her eyes focused on the diamond necklace on the stage.
The starting bid was seven million!
Eight million! Nine million!
Countless people were bidding below. It was every woman’s dream to wear this necklace, and it was also a chance for those men to showcase themselves.
“True Love?” Lu Mian spat out two words from his lips. He seemed to have thought of something and smiled. He raised his sign and showed the highest price on the stage, “Twenty million.”
For a moment, no one moved. It was not only because the price difference was too big, but also because of this person’s identity.
There were very few people in the entire circle who could casually bid 20 million. Even if they were rich, they would not spend such a large sum to buy a necklace.
For a moment, everyone’s eyes were on the three of them. The women looked at Ning Lan with envy and jealousy.
“The owner of this necklace is so lucky to be willing to pay such a high price to give her the love of her life.”
“There’s only one female companion, so of course it’s hers… I wonder what her background is.”
The people around were discussing. Ning Lan nervously tugged at the edge of her skirt, blushing. The little girl’s embarrassment was reflected. The blush on her face never faded. She was waiting for Lu Mian to put it on her.
Cheng Yi watched from behind and sighed deeply…
Sure enough, Lu Mian left after taking the necklace.. He did not even want to stay for another second.
