Gu Wenjuan’s heart warmed as she admired the watch. She tried it on her wrist and then fastened it in place.
She had worn watches before; her grandmother had given her one as a coming-of-age gift.
But then, during a part-time job, it was stolen from her locker. Since then, she had never worn a watch again.
It looked so beautiful.
Ji Nan stepped out and immediately ran into Yu Chen.
Yu Chen looked at her with a smile. Ji Nan gave him a cold glance and tried to walk past him, but Yu Chen blocked her way.
With a smile on his face, Yu Chen said, "Princess just fired a gun, and I’m afraid it might have injured her arm. She could have Dr. Wu take a look at it."
Ji Nan’s face grew even darker as she asked, "Was that your idea or Young Master Yu’s?"
Yu Chen replied, "Young Master Yu said it was my idea."
Ji Nan’s expression softened a bit. "Understood."
She tried to walk past him again, but Yu Chen stopped her once more, saying, "Young Master Yu, although he might sometimes speak harshly, still cares about Princess Mo."
Ji Nan glanced at him coldly. "It’s only for the sake of his child."
Yu Chen looked at the clearly upset Ji Nan and paused, then chuckled softly, "If Young Master Yu wanted children, there are plenty of women willing to bear them for him. Why would he be so intent on having Princess Mo’s?"
Without a second thought, Ji Nan retorted, "Isn’t it because Princess Mo has good genes!"
Yu Chen was taken aback.
It seemed to make sense.
Ji Nan continued, "Princess Mo is beautiful, smart, talented, filial, and what’s more, she comes from a wealthy family with excellent upbringing and taste. Which other woman can match our Princess?" Her face grew even more displeased, "Don’t compare any Tom, Dick, or Harry to our Princess. People are not all on the same level; Young Master Yu doesn’t realize how precious she is, and he will regret it sooner or later!" Content originally comes from NoveI[F]ire.net
After saying that, Ji Nan stormed off.
Yu Chen didn’t have time to react and could only watch her furious departure.
It wasn’t until she vanished at the end of the corridor that Yu Chen finally chuckled, "This girl..."
She really was as hot-tempered as Princess Mo.
However, he wondered what face Princess Mo would make if she knew that the gift was personally selected by Young Master Yu.
Mo Shu was woken up by Ji Nan when it was almost time for dinner.
Ji Nan said, "It’s five o’clock now, and the auction starts at seven."
Mo Shu really didn’t want to get up; every cell in her body was languid, "I know."
"Your clothes and jewelry are all prepared. Also, Mr. Wu has been waiting for you. He will come to check your pulse in a moment."
Mo Shu yawned, "I know."
After freshening up, Mo Shu let Mr. Wu Senior come up directly.
Grandpa Wu stroked his goatee and squinted his eyes, "Your grandpa was worried you wouldn’t be able to handle it, but it seems your constitution is getting stronger and stronger." As he spoke, he placed his hand on her arm.
Mo Shu had been jolted by the damn gun in the afternoon, and it still felt a bit sore.
Grandpa Wu massaged it for a while and then cautioned, "Don’t drink alcohol, don’t drink coffee. If I find out, be careful, or next time I’ll prescribe you some bitter medicine."
Mo Shu retracted her hand with an aggrieved look, "You’ve picked up bad habits!"
Grandpa Wu laughed heartily and left soon after.
The evening auction was an exclusive event, only accessible to Purple Gold Card VIPs.
Rumor had it that they sold all sorts of bizarre items—slaves, organs, playthings, or prohibited goods, and other items that couldn’t be traded openly on the market were all available there.
