Chapter 369: Pei Moyan's Orientation

Looking at the auction invitation in her hand, Su Yuanshuang seemed deep in thought.

Could she have really misunderstood Zheng Qian?

Although he appeared playboy-ish, as if he didn't care about anything, he had prepared so thoroughly. He had even found out about the auction item that Pei Moyan had hidden so deeply, and had even prepared an evening gown for her in advance...

Thinking of this, her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Hey, Zheng Qian, let me ask you."

She lowered her voice, leaned into Zheng Qian's ear, and bit her lip as she asked, "You... how did you determine my... um, body proportions? And... damn it, why are the measurements so accurate? Were you a tailor in the past?"

Zheng Qian almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He awkwardly wiped the sweat from his forehead, fearing the misunderstanding would deepen and make Su Yuanshuang think he was a pervert.

But thinking about it, if one could determine body measurements just by looking, they would probably be either a pervert or a seasoned lecher; at the very least, they would need a solid theoretical foundation and extensive practical experience.

"You had a record of custom-made clothing in Subei, so I spent a little money and got it sorted out."

Hearing this, Su Yuanshuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hmm... It's not like I was worried about him finding out I used padding; I'm naturally well-endowed.

She realized that Mr. Ye's schedule was very full and usually required a long wait. Yet, Zheng Qian had managed to get it done in just a few short days; he must have spent quite a lot of money.

From securing Mr. Ye's schedule to bribing various auction insiders, and to the necklace he gave her... adding it all up, Zheng Qian must have paid a significant price. Was he doing this because he was interested in her, or was he really that desperate to take over the Su Family?

Suddenly, a groundbreaking thought popped into Su Yuanshuang's mind.

Actually, Zheng Qian didn't need to do things so complexly. If he just captured her heart, why would he need to go through so much trouble to take over the Su Family? Wouldn't the entire Su Family... be his anyway?

Thinking of this, Su Yuanshuang's cheeks couldn't help but flush.

Pah, pah, pah, what am I thinking about!

Zheng Qian had indeed spent quite a lot of money on this series of processes, over eight million in total. Just to secure Mr. Ye and have him push aside other appointments cost Zheng Qian two million; money really does make the mare go.

And precisely because this money was spent on Su Yuanshuang, Zheng Qian received over eighty million in return.

Hmm... He realized that spending money on these young ladies was the way to maximize profits. Their standard of living—clothing, food, housing, and transportation—was absolute top-tier. It was much faster to make money this way than by spending on ordinary girls.

Meanwhile, the auction was proceeding in an orderly fashion.

Earlier, there were some antique blue and white porcelain, works by famous foreign painters, and so on. But most didn't cause much of a stir; the transaction prices were basically around a few hundred thousand, with the highest not exceeding six hundred thousand. More often, they were jewelry, bags, and such that were clearly used by young ladies, priced at around a few tens of thousands.

Finally, it was time for Pei Moyan's ring.

"This auction item is very important to its owner and holds many precious memories. This time, to raise funds for welfare organizations, she has painfully parted with it to bring it to auction! For this spirit, I express my heartfelt gratitude on behalf of those in need! Now, it is time for you entrepreneurs to make your move."

"The starting bid is two hundred thousand, and each increment must be at least ten thousand. Now... it officially begins!" the beautiful host said excitedly.

"How much should we bid to secure it?" Su Yuanshuang asked hesitantly.

"Let's see how it goes. If no one bids against us, we'll just drop one million on it," Zheng Qian shrugged.

Su Yuanshuang nodded slightly.

One million wasn't a huge amount, but it certainly wasn't small either. She had secretly made a decision. Although she hadn't known Zheng Qian for very long, he had spent a lot of money on her. Not to mention this outfit, just the last time he slapped Young Master Su Zhenghe in the face in Subei, it cost over ten million.

This time, no matter what, she had to buy it herself. She absolutely couldn't let Zheng Qian spend any more money.

And it was just a ring... surely no one would fight her for it, right?

She looked around and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she didn't see any rival families from the same liquor industry. It shouldn't be the case that anyone would show off here just to curry favor with Pei Moyan.

"Three hundred thousand." Just then, a man raised the paddle in his hand.

"It's Number 18! Number 18 bids three hundred thousand, going once!" the host said excitedly.

Huh? Su Yuanshuang looked in the direction of the voice and discovered it was a young master who looked like a playboy. He must have received the news that this ring came from Pei Moyan. And as soon as he made a move, he increased the bid by one hundred thousand directly.

"Young Master Xu is really willing to spend money!"

"I wonder whose ring this is; could it be something rare?"

"Don't talk nonsense, he probably already found out who the owner is..."

Hearing the whispers around her, she roughly understood the person's identity. This person was named Xu Yehan, the young master of this hotel The Group and the first-in-line heir.

He owned quite a few high-end hotels throughout Shenzhen.

He was worth a fortune.

Since Pei Moyan was also from Shenzhen, his motive was basically self-evident; he was going after her. This made Su Yuanshuang clench her fists; if things went wrong, she might really have to suffer a major financial loss.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand." Su Yuanshuang hesitated for a moment, then also raised her paddle.

"Number 153! Number 153 bids three hundred and fifty thousand, going once!" Everyone immediately turned their gaze over.

Originally, Xu Yehan's eyes were full of coldness, thinking about who dared to challenge him. But when he turned back, he discovered it was a gorgeous girl, and such a top-tier beauty at that.

Her evening gown was especially eye-catching; he even hesitated for a moment.

Should he... stop pursuing Pei Moyan and pursue her instead?

Hmm... No, sigh, this is a family marriage alliance. For the sake of future development, he had to win over Pei Moyan. Thinking of this, he raised the paddle in his hand again, "Four hundred thousand."

"Number 18 bids four hundred thousand!"

"Number 153 bids five hundred thousand!"

"Number 18 bids six hundred thousand!"

"Number 153 bids seven hundred thousand!"

The bidding sounds rose and fell.

Everyone present suddenly sensed an unusual atmosphere. It felt like a good show was about to unfold.

Pei Moyan frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the voice, discovering it was Su Yuanshuang. They had met each other, so she naturally knew why Su Yuanshuang was bidding so desperately for this ring.

After thinking for a moment, the corners of her mouth actually curled up slightly.

It had an indescribable nuance.

This angle was captured by the idle Zheng Qian.

He immediately felt a chill, and a terrifying thought suddenly popped into his mind—could it be that she had issues with her orientation?

Could it be that she was interested in girls?

No way, right?
