When Huo Xuanzhou turned his head back, Ling Sheng’s haughty smile was completely noticeable. She even pointed her middle finger, angering him so much that he punched the surface of the water.
He let out a low, venomous curse, the expression in his eyes becoming more and more menacing.
That little slut!
He wouldn’t be called Huo Xuanzhou if he didn’t torture her to death!
Meanwhile, people were filming the whole incident on the deck and discussing it.
The auction was about to start.
An Yan had already made the crowd disperse.
At that point in time, only Ling Sheng and Jun Shiyan were left on the deck.
Ling Sheng bent down before him, raising her head as she gave him a soft, delightful smile and thanked him in a sweet voice. “Thank you, Third Master.”
When he saw the gentle smile of the girl, Jun Shiyan’s heart softened. His voice was slightly hoarse when he spoke again. “Do you have anything to do tonight?”
Ling Sheng shook her head. With a sweet, obedient look, she replied, “No, I can keep you company tonight.”
“Okay.” Jun Shiyan nodded his head.
He wanted to pat her head.
How could she be so adorable and obedient?
“I’ll give this back to you. Sorry!” Ling Sheng removed the ring and returned it to him.
So he was the private collector!
She was hardly surprised that the Third Master had such a valuable ring.
Jun Shiyan lowered his eyes as he took the ring from her. At that moment, he could clearly feel the girl’s hesitance and reluctance to part with it. Then, a smile appeared in his orbs.
She liked the ring a lot.
Ling Sheng felt slightly crestfallen to return it. After all, it was a very valuable and beautiful ring. Any woman would want to own it wholeheartedly.
She was no exception.
However, she would never have an unrealistic thought of keeping someone else’s possession.
While she was in a trance, her hand was lifted.
There was a slightly cold touch that was akin to the texture of jade, followed by the sudden arrhythmic palpitation of her heart.
Ling Sheng lowered her head, her eyes widening in disbelief.
The man was holding her hand in one hand while holding onto Palpitate with the other. Then, with a serious demeanor, he slipped the ring on her finger, as solemnly as though he was completing a serious task of the utmost gravity.
Ling Sheng hesitated for two seconds.
She was struggling internally.
Should she take it or not?
Ahhh!
If she accepted it, would the Third Master think she was a vain, materialistic woman?
If she did not accept it, would the Third Master find her too ostentatious?
Should she pretend to decline the offer despite her desire to do the contrary, or should she tempt him by pretending to reject the offer, only to accept it later when he let his guard down?
Jun Shiyan, who was suddenly scared that she would say no, hurriedly explained in a deep voice. “I’m only reciprocating your kindness.”
Ling Sheng followed the man’s line of sight and saw his tie, which was a gift from her. She smiled sweetly at him. “Thank you, Third Master.”
Jun Shiyan heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like he had been worried for no reason. His voice also softened as he replied, “I’m glad that you like it.”
“I do!” Ling Sheng was immensely worked up.
Of course she liked it!
She liked it too much!
Such a pricey diamond ring was the ultimate dream of every woman!
If she had known that a Palpitate ring could be exchanged for a tie, she would have gifted him ten ties!
Had she managed to hook up with the Third Master successfully?
Slyness flashed across her eyes.
She suddenly moved forward and hugged him.
Jun Shiyan’s body tensed, the tenseness causing his hand to halt in mid-air, creating and maintaining a strange posture.
The surrounding area was very quiet.
He could even hear the sound of his urgent, ragged breathing clearly as his heart was racing wildly at that moment!
Ling Sheng only hugged him for a short while before she retreated immediately with a red face. Her heart was beating at an uncontrollably-fast pace, as though her blood had rushed to her head.
Thankfully, he did not push her away, or it would have been very awkward!
