Munni's delicate features subtly exuded an elusive charm. Upon hearing Liang Jiuchen's complaint, she gently raised an eyebrow, teasing him with a hint of allure in her gaze.
"The two auction items you d!" Liang Jiuchen was exasperated by her feigned ignorance.
He almost wanted to bang his head against the wall when he saw the auction items Munni d, feeling as though Munni was playing a joke on him!
However, in contrast to his agitation, Munni remained calm and indifferent, "Mm, you're welcome to be the finale."
You're welcome? Liang Jiuchen felt Munni had misunderstood him! This girl had clearly caused trouble for him, yet she acted as if it was no big deal, with a look of generous nonchalance.
Seeing his frustrated expression, Munni slightly curved her lips with a trace of delight. With the arc of her smile, her eyes brimmed with captivating brilliance.
She gently patted him on the shoulder and chuckled softly, "Don't worry, he won't do anything to you!"
With that said, she withdrew her hand, passed by Liang Jiuchen, and was led by staff to her seat marked with her name.
Munni had just sat down for a moment when the auction began. As the organizer, Liang Jiuchen had no time to persuade her further. He nervously took the stage, pretended to stay calm, expressed some words of gratitude, and then left the proceedings to the host.
Munni was seated in the second row on the left, while Xu Yisen was placed in the first row on the right. From Munni's angle, she could clearly see Xu Yisen's profile and the smiling woman beside him.
Munni recognized the woman—on the day of her father's death, she received a message showing her elegantly dancing with Xu Yisen—the supermodel promoted by Xu Yisen, Xia Yuge.
Speaking of Xia Yuge, she was also an inspiring figure. Despite her modest family background, through her efforts, she quickly rose to the top of the entertainment industry.
As for how she worked hard, outsiders and Munni had different views.
Munni had disliked Xia Yuge since she first met her many years ago, and as time passed, the reasons for her dislike gradually changed.
Previously, she disliked her because Xia Yuge monopolized the softest spot in Xu Yisen's heart.
Now she disliked her... Perhaps it's just a deep-rooted habitual prejudice, she's purely indifferent to her now.
While lost in thought, the first auction item was presented on stage, with a VCR playing its introduction.
After the VCR ended, the auctioneer announced the starting and incremental price of the item.
Out of the corner of her eye, Munni saw Xia Yuge whisper softly into Xu Yisen's ear, leading to a faint smile gracing Xu Yisen's lips.
Retracting her gaze, Munni no longer paid attention to the dazzling couple, calmly focusing on the auction item on stage, a subtle mischievous smile flickering at the corners of her red lips.
The auction items comprised predominantly of name brand jewelry, renowned calligraphy, oil paintings by famous artists, antique vases, and other collectible treasures.
To show support, Munni raised her paddle several times, eventually purchasing an early oil painting by a renowned United States artist for one million.
As time passed, the auction neared its end. Liang Ziyuan, the organizer, walked steadily onto the stage. Standing at the podium, his eyes scanned the guests below, finally resting on Munni for three seconds.
Munni could clearly feel that when he looked at her, there was a teasing smile in his eyes.
