Chapter 1525: Chapter 1530: Buying a Woman at a Sky-high Price 6
Gu Qingxin bit her lip, a suffocating feeling washing over her as she glanced at the earnest man beside her. There was a sense of helplessness within her. Beiming Han was outstanding in every aspect except for his stubbornness to listen to others’ opinions, which sotis distressed her.
She constantly reminded herself that nobody is perfect; was there anyone who had no flaws at all?
If she loved him, she needed to accept his flaws. Besides, apart from his stubbornness, he was nearly perfect in every other way.
However…
“For once, can you listen to ? I don’t like it here. I really don’t! It’s my birthday today, so can you please grant my wish for once? You wouldn’t want to be upset, right?” Gu Qingxin didn’t know why, but she had a strong feeling that if they stayed, sothing she wasn’t comfortable to handle would take place.
“How about we leave in an hour?” Beiming Han said, hugging her as he observed her uncomfortable expression.
“Now, we leave now!” Gu Qingxin firmly grasped his hand.
“Xin’er, what’s wrong?” Beiming Han frowned, looking at her. Her eyes revealed an obvious fear. What was she afraid of?
“I don’t know! But if you’re not leaving, I am!” Gu Qingxin stood up, preparing to leave. However, Beiming Han swiftly pulled her into his lap.
“We’re just bidding for an object. I promise as soon as we get your birthday gift, we’ll leave.” Beiming Han’s voice was firm.
Gu Qingxin felt powerless. Why was it so hard for him to listen to her?
“Fine, as long as you won’t regret this.” Struggling free from his grip, she moved to the furthest seat from him. The pain in her shoulder made her face pale.
“How are you? Does the injury hurt?” Beiming Han felt a little helpless, but rembering the birthday gift he was about to give her tonight, he had to be stern with her for now.
He was confident that she would love the gift.
The auction began. Gu Qingxin knew their private box had the best view of the entire auction.
The first item was an antique. Beiming Han arrived beside Gu Qingxin and held her in his arms. They watched as one after another exquisite item was auctioned off, each of high value.
However, as ti went on, Gu Qingxin’s complexion grew worse. She didn’t know what was wrong with herself, yet she was aware that it was not solely due her past experience of being auctioned off…
Sothing else was wrong.
When the eleventh item appeared, a rectangular object slowly descended from above, covered with a black cloth.
As it descended, Gu Qingxin’s heart skipped a beat.
“Let’s leave. I don’t want to wait any longer.” Gu Qingxin begged Beiming Han.
“…”
“Can we leave? I don’t care about the auction anymore!” Gu Qingxin was on the verge of tears.
“Xin’er…”
“Is that not acceptable?”
“Okay…”
As soon as Beiming Han finished speaking, Gu Qingxin’s heart soared with relief. But as the presenter lifted the cloth, Beiming Han, who had been standing to leave, slowly sank back into his seat…
Gu Qingxin watched him. She could clearly sense the change in Beiming Han’s expression. He stared straight ahead, his body tense and his breath uneven…
Ye Qi, who had been as inconspicuous as the air in the room, also reacted subtly.
Gu Qingxin knew their reactions were because of the item being auctioned…
She slowly turned her head. As she recognized the item on the stage, it felt as if ti had completely frozen at that mont.
