189: Feeling resentful

After the transaction was completed, Liang Lejia instructed one of his subordinates to stay here.

He then took Giuseppe Castiglione's oil painting, got into the car, and left.

Although he said he wouldn't look out for his new friend Qin Yun, he still left a person to monitor the situation here.

Everyone was surprised that Boss Liang actually agreed to Qin Yun's suggestion.

They were all stunned.

"Holy cow, Qin Yun has some nerve!"

"Is this a case of fools having good fortune? How could such an unreasonable request be approved by Boss Liang!"

"Do you think this kid is truly foolish or incredibly capable? The two most valuable warehouses here fell into his hands, and he even humiliated Young Master Liu!"

"If you call that luck, it's ridiculously good. Qin Yun must have some skill, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to befriend Boss Liang in just a few minutes."

"You're right. Boss Liang is a major figure with immense influence; his judgment must be accurate."

...While everyone was discussing, Qin Yun had already called a ride-sharing car.

And left with Julia.

Seeing this situation, everyone felt even more confused.

"Damn, this kid just simply called a ride-share car and left?"

"Didn't he just earn almost four million? Why is he so casual?"

"Are we really unable to understand the young man nowadays?"

"Exactly. The money he earned in an hour is more than my entire net worth, yet he's still so frugal?"

"I'm sure of it, Qin Yun must be an exceptional person!"

...Seeing Qin Yun leave just like that, Liu Yuanhua's face turned green.

He really wanted his subordinates to step in and teach Qin Yun a lesson.

But with Boss Liang's people present, he truly dared not cause trouble at the risk of offending his God of Wealth.

If Boss Liang became unhappy and kicked him out of the East City District renovation project.

It would be very difficult for Liu Yuanhua to survive in this circle.

"Young Master Liu, should we catch that kid and beat him up?"

A subordinate, seeing Liu Yuanhua's fluctuating expression, suggested quietly.

"I'll hit your head!" Liu Yuanhua suddenly erupted in anger.

He slapped the clueless subordinate onto the ground.

The beaten subordinate didn't know how he had angered Young Master Liu, and lay on the ground covering his face, daring not to speak.

"You drive and follow him. See what his background is and where he's staying. I have my own plans for this matter."

Liu Yuanhua didn't want to let Qin Yun off the hook just like that.

Not only did he lose nearly three million because of that kid.

More importantly, the face he valued most was publicly slapped by that kid.

How could Liu Yuanhua possibly give up on revenge?

He decided to contact the most powerful appraisal Expert in the collecting circle, for the auction mentioned by Boss Liang.

He would get it back, principal and interest!

And also prove to Boss Liang that he was much stronger than Qin Yun!

When they returned to the guesthouse, Julia kept holding the Landscape Jadeite Ornament tightly.

Qin Yun felt like laughing just watching her.

Women find it very hard to resist the temptation of shiny things.

Julia hadn't shown such intense interest in all the treasures they had found before.

Instead, she treated this Jadeite Ornament, worth fifty or sixty thousand dollars, whose material and carving weren't particularly outstanding, like a treasure.

"Your hobby is comparable to Empress Dowager Cixi's; your eyes are practically sinking into it."

"Don't worry too much about this ornament; I'll find you something better."

Qin Yun waved his hand in front of Julia's eyes and couldn't help but tease her.

Julia's face flushed slightly.

She looked a little nervous, but inside, she was overjoyed.

She had never understood the ancient people's obsession with jade.

Only after seeing the Jadeite Ornament did Julia understand the charm of jadeite.

Gentle as jade, a noble gentleman.

This perfectly summarized the uniqueness of jade.

It wasn't as dazzling as diamonds, but it gave people a feeling of gentle elegance.

Just like Qin Yun's personality—humble yet very charming.

Therefore, the moment she saw the jadeite, Julia completely fell in love with it.

Hearing Qin Yun say this, she was incredibly moved.

"I am truly so happy."

"I believe you. I will always believe you."

Putting down the ornament in her hand, Julia excitedly threw herself into Qin Yun's embrace.

Murmuring words only she could understand.

Qin Yun had always understood Julia's feelings.

He felt that Julia was even more beautiful and moving at this moment.

He held Julia tightly in his arms.

The two of them quietly enjoyed this silence and tenderness.

Liu Yuanhua's subordinate followed Qin Yun's taxi from a distance.

Seeing the two enter a state-level guesthouse.

His eyes widened, and he immediately understood that Qin Yun's identity was not as simple as it seemed.

"Young Master Liu, they entered the guesthouse specifically for state guests. Should I continue monitoring?"

Hearing his subordinate's report, Liu Yuanhua was so angry he wanted to kill someone!

"You brainless trash! If you want to die, don't drag me into it."

"That's not a place you can monitor! Hurry up and get back here!"

Liu Yuanhua hung up the phone after angrily cursing him out.

He paced back and forth restlessly.

He realized in his heart that the kid's background was extraordinary.

This was why Qin Yun wasn't afraid of him.

It seemed that any petty actions against Qin Yun had to stop.

Having suffered so many losses to Qin Yun, Liu Yuanhua was truly unwilling to give up just like that!

Thinking of the auction.

A flash went through his mind, and he made a decision.

It seemed that only at the auction could he openly retaliate against Qin Yun.

Qin Yun and Julia spent a romantic night in the guesthouse.

They tried everything several times, except for the final home run.

They both liked each other, and in this unfamiliar place, they completely let loose.

They lingered for a long time, only waking up at ten in the morning.

Julia was still a little shy during breakfast.

But she quickly let go of her embarrassment.

They had spent so much time together and experienced so many magnificent events that their relationship was more intimate than that of mere boyfriend and girlfriend.

Last night was just a natural reaction when feelings ran deep.

While touring the scenic spots in Kyoto, Julia naturally hooked her arm around Qin Yun's.

It was very harmonious.

Like a couple who had been married for many years.

Qin Yun had never properly explored Kyoto.

It was a good opportunity to slowly enjoy the sights with Julia.

They satisfied their craving for beautiful sights.

They saw magnificent ancient buildings, beautiful natural scenery, and the essence of Xia Country's five millennia in the Forbidden City.

His heart felt as if it had been baptized.

He gained a new understanding of the greatness of Xia Country.

His resolve to retrieve more lost treasures for Xia Country became even stronger.

The two visited four scenic spots and then played around in Kyoto's night market until past ten.

Only then did they set off back to the guesthouse.

In the car, Julia showed little sign of fatigue.

She was completely excited.

"Qin, Kyoto is so much fun, much more interesting than Borton City. Why don't we just live here?"

After only two days of fun, Julia was already captivated by the beauty of Kyoto.

Qin Yun pondered for a moment before saying, "We will, but not right now."

Kyoto is a place of pride and longing for all Xia Country people, and Qin Yun was no exception.

He was currently in the ascent phase of his career.

He needed to make a bigger mark in the US and find more Xia Country treasures.

Only then could he settle down in Kyoto with peace of mind.

For now, it was still a bit too early.

Julia had only made a passing comment, but she hadn't expected Qin Yun to take it to heart.

Happily, she snuggled against Qin Yun.

"Mhm, I know."
