When Gu Xie and Lin Xiaojuan entered, they received cheers from the audience. It was rare to see Movie King Gu attend such an event so publicly. The girls were heartbroken. The film actor took Lin Xiaojuan’s hand, and their ten fingers were clasped, showing their love. Although he was cool and expressionless, he always smiled at Lin Xiaojuan warmly when he looked at her. There was a clear difference between how he treated his fiancée and how he did for the masses.
“Movie King is so hot.”
“My favorite is Tong Hua. Nothing can change that.”
“Lin Xiaojuan is so pretty too. She is so compatible with Movie King.”
“Actually, I feel that Movie King would be more compatible with Shen Qianshu because of Tong Hua. This way, my two favorite men would be of the same family. How envious would that make others feel?”
“They are like family now anyway. Lin Xiaojuan and Tong Hua’s relationship is almost like mother and son.”
Tong Hua ignored the gossip, and he waved at Movie King Gu and Li Zhiyuan. He left some seats for them, and they sat on the balcony. Li Zhiyuan and Chen Wanwan sat near them. They took up the seats that offered better views.
This was the first time Lin Xiaojuan had done PDA with Gu Xie. She did not feel very comfortable about that.
She felt as if she would be torn to bits by Gu Xie’s female fans.
Gu Xie said calmly, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
Tong Hua chimed in. “Although I have been living well without any PDA lately, the two of you don’t have to behave like that.”
I don’t need to see any of that.
The contest began.
The emcee on stage exclaimed. “At the stone gambling contest today, we have a total of 86 contestants from all around the world. There are over 300 pieces of jade here. Let us invite the presenters to showcase the jewels. A round of applause, please.”
Thunderous applause filled up the hall.
This was a circular competition hall.
There were people looking from every corner.
The hall was really huge.
Not long after, the staff carried the pieces of jade out. Some of the pieces were as big as a fist while some of them were as big as a soccer ball. The biggest stone was as tall as an adult man; it was like an elephant. Large and small pieces were presented for a full twenty minutes before they were finally done.
Chen Wanwan said, “This time, the jade came from Myanmar. There are so many, and there are all sorts of them.”
“Yeah, it’s really eye-catching.”
After they were done showcasing the pieces of jade, the appraisers begin to pick gems.
There were two rounds to the contest.
In the first round, each appraiser chose a gem. At the first round, ten appraisers would be chosen, and they would compete. The winning players could re-select jades or use the one from the first round to compete.
This time, many of the appraisers were familiar faces. Lu Mengxi, Yunan, and several foreign appraisers who she had dealt with were all familiar. Yun An was not in a good state this time. His face was pale, and his eyes looked tired. It was as if he had gone through some tragic stuff.
In the hall, the appraisers had plenty of time to choose stones, and they could talk to one another. Shen Qianshu could not help but ask, “Yun An, what’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing much. I haven’t had a good rest lately.” He smiled forcedly. He did not seem very energized. Shen Qianshu could see bite marks by his collar from the corner of her eyes. She suddenly thought of the bite marks she would have on her neck sometimes.
Oh, they’re love bites.
Oh… Yun An’s girl must be really passionate.
Could they have been doing stuff up to a very late time, so he doesn’t have enough energy now?
The little angel smiled at Yun An with a suggestive look.
Yun An was confused. “What’s up?”
Why is Miss Shen looking at me with such suggestive eyes?
