"Don’t laugh at me!" Ye Wanwan said, feeling embarrassed as she glared at Shen Yi.
Shen Yi nodded, subdued his smile, and then took Ye Wanwan’s hand. "It’s about time, we should go."
Ye Wanwan trailed a step behind, watching Shen Yi’s back, her heart filled with regret. Why hadn’t she thought to control herself while she was eating just now?
It was too late to say anything now, so Ye Wanwan could only keep sucking in her breath and hold in her stomach.
By the time they arrived at the auction venue, quite a few people were already there. The auction hadn’t officially started yet, so most of the attendees were walking around, greeting each other.
When Shen Yi arrived with Ye Wanwan, they still caused a small commotion.
However, Ye Wanwan was quite composed in the face of such occasions, showing no sign of timidity at all.
Before she married Shen Yi, she had been the Ye Family’s only daughter, pampered and cherished, accustomed to all sorts of social events from a young age.
There were those in attendance who had partnerships with Jinghong Group, and naturally, they came over to greet Shen Yi, seeing that he had brought his wife.
Ye Wanwan was responsible for being a quiet trophy wife, standing beside Shen Yi, quietly listening to him talk.
Fortunately, the auction soon officially began, the auctioneer took to the stage, and the event got underway.
Shen Yi leaned closer to Ye Wanwan and whispered in her ear, "Bid on anything you like."
Ye Wanwan felt her ear tickle when Shen Yi whispered to her, she instinctively shrank back, then softly responded, "Okay."
However, Ye Wanwan didn’t end up bidding on anything throughout the auction, until, at the very end, her long-awaited perfume appeared, and her eyes lit up.
The bidding went smoothly, Shen Yi raised his paddle three times, and secured the perfume for 1.2 million yuan.
After the auction ended, Ye Wanwan couldn’t wait to collect her perfume.
The staff had it prepared in advance; Ye Wanwan took it gingerly, brought it up to smell, and was immediately captivated by the scent.
It was indeed her most treasured perfume.
Shen Yi couldn’t help but smile at the look of satisfaction on her face.
After collecting the perfume and preparing to leave, Ye Wanwan handed the bag with the perfume to Shen Yi and said earnestly, "Please hold this for me for a moment, I’m going to the bathroom and will be right back!"
"Go ahead." Shen Yi sighed helplessly. How much did she love that perfume that she couldn’t even rest easy while going to the bathroom?
"Please, take good care of it!" Ye Wanwan called out a few steps away, unable to resist looking back at Shen Yi and reminding him again.
Only after seeing Shen Yi nod did she head quickly to the restroom.
Shen Yi shook his head helplessly and stood waiting for Ye Wanwan at the corner of the corridor.
After ten minutes had passed, Shen Yi wasn’t particularly concerned, as it typically took women a bit longer in the restroom.
Some more time went by, and Shen Yi checked his watch. Ye Wanwan had been in the bathroom for nearly twenty minutes.
Shen Yi frowned, unable to contain his concern. Why was she taking so long to come out?
Without hesitating even a few seconds, Shen Yi walked toward the restroom while trying to call Ye Wanwan on his phone.
The call went through but no one answered, and as Shen Yi arrived outside the ladies’ room and still couldn’t get a response, he raised his voice and called out, "Wanwan!"
