"She came over early today, and without her, I wouldn't have been able to handle it a lot of the time."

Jiang Youning's meaningful eyes made Lu Ke laugh a little helplessly, "Mom, what are you hinting at?" ”

Jiang Youning's eyes widened, and he said with an innocent face, "I didn't hint at anything, what can I hint at?" I'm just stating the facts, you don't have to be so sensitive/sensitive, I'm not one of those old antiques, remember? I've lived in the U.S. for almost two decades, and I know what's going on here. ”

Lu Ke didn't say anything, and was about to "pretend" that nothing happened.

But Jiang Youning just took a breath and continued, "I just said, you should have gone home last night, and you shouldn't leave Tangtang at home alone, it's really not good." Did you guys quarrel? You owe an apology to Sugar Candy. Sugar Candy pushed all the work for you and came back to accompany you to the playoffs, you should know that she didn't have to do it at all, but she did it anyway, and came over early today to help out - even if you guys had a fight......"

"Mom, we didn't quarrel." Lu Ke had to interrupt his mother's words, if the misunderstanding continued like this, I am afraid it would not be explained clearly.

Jiang Youning was stunned, and his eyes showed incomprehension, "Then why did you come back alone last night?" ”

"I drank, remember? I don't remember very well, but I just took it for granted that after the game day, I would go back to my original home and be with you. I don't know which address I said when I got into the taxi, or if it was the address Logan had reported. I really forgot. Lu Ke was a little helpless, but he still patiently explained.

"Forgot?" Jiang Youning shook his head slightly, "This is not a good excuse. Even if you forget it when you get in a taxi, you shouldn't forget it when you get home. Sugar Candy didn't call you, which means she's angry. ”

"Mom, Tangtang didn't call me, that's because she understands me......" Lu Ke also tried to resist.

But Jiang Youning immediately cut off Lu Ke's words again, "You can't do whatever you want because Tangtang understands you, you know that any emotion starts to become alienated because of such and such negligence, you must know the seriousness of the problem." Even if last night was really fine, what about this morning? You made a special trip to visit Miles and forgot about Sugar Candy? She drove by herself, which shouldn't have been. ”

Lu Ke completely gave up his intention to defend himself, and just looked at Jiang Youning with a serious face, "Mom, if I'm not mistaken, I'm your own child, right?" ”

"Nonsense!" Jiang Youning raised his hand and slapped Lu Ke's back heavily, which made Lu Ke's facial features all gather, and used his expression to express his pain, "I just said, you should face Tangtang squarely, don't take those things for granted, only when both parties pay for each other, the relationship can be complete." ”

"Mom, to be honest, are you worried that I won't be able to find a girlfriend except for Tangtang?" Lu Ke gave an unexpected answer without warning.

Jiang Youning was stunned, but looked left and said to him, "You kid, what are you talking nonsense." "There is no denial, in fact, it is admitted, she didn't dare to say it directly, when she learned that Lu Ke and Candace were dating, she and Lu Zhengze were surprised, they thought that Lu Ke had been immersed in the training ground for a long time, and he might not be able to find a partner for the rest of his life - it was because Lu Ke was still young and didn't need to worry about lifelong events for the time being, so he didn't talk too much.

Lu Ke looked at Jiang Youning, who was slightly awkward, and could only smile bitterly: It was really biological.

Then, Candace noticed Lu Ke and Jiang Youning, and took the initiative to come over to say hello, "Bambi, hurry up and come over to help, I still need people here." ”

Lu Ke made an "obedient" gesture to Jiang Youning, "Then I will go over now to consolidate this relationship and avoid the fate of your son being abandoned." ”

In Jiang Youning's eyes, Lu Ke rushed out as soon as he slipped away, and gave Candace a big hug head-on, "How is it, is everything going well?" I mean, is there anything I can help with? I've been free all day today, at the disposal of Ms. Candace. ”

"Hah! Of course...... Of course! Candace was obviously sarcastic, and a grin slowly fell between her eyebrows.

She knew that Lu Ke still had a plan for the afternoon, even though it was a rest day, and he had to start preparing for the next decisive battle, starting with watching the game footage and studying tactics. This morning, I made a special trip to the auction, which is already very rare, because it may take three to four hours to delay, and because in fact, Lu Ke does not attend and has no effect-

He only needs to hand over the auction item to Jiang Youning, which is enough, relying on Lu Ke's fame, the auction item can be sold at a good price.

But considering that this was Jiang Youning's first time organizing a large-scale event, Lu Ke still hoped to be able to attend in person to cheer for his mother, so he changed his mind.

Lu Ke hurriedly defended, "I'm serious. If there is any work now, just assign it to me, and I will be your little staff next. ”

Candace frowned slightly, and looked at Lu Ke with doubt, "Something is not quite right with you?" Why do I smell fishy? What the hell is going on? ”

Lu Ke and Candace have known each other for too long, and the other party's abnormality can always be sensitively detected, and after the relationship is confirmed, it becomes more and more intimate, Candace can see at a glance that Lu Ke's movements and demeanor are somewhat different from usual, and she debunked it without hesitation.

Lu Ke raised his hands to show his surrender, but he was still holding the gift bag in his right hand, and his movements were a little funny, "I didn't go back last night, and I didn't call you; Then, I did not escort you to the venue this morning, and I must formally apologize. I shouldn't take everything for granted, I should still show that I care. ”

Candace still looked at Lu Ke with a confused face, looked up and down, and for a long time, then held back a sentence, "Are you stimulated?" ”

Lu Ke's head was full of black lines.

Candace snorted and laughed, "Bambi, you know I don't care about that. At the end of each game day, you'll go back to your parents' house, I know; Before this morning's auction, you're going to visit Miles, and you've told me before. I know what's going on, I'm not worried, I'm not sad, you should believe that I'm an independent girl and I can handle things. ”

Lu Ke nodded, took Candace into his arms, and lightly imprinted a kiss on her forehead, "That's why I like you so much." ”

Candace lifted her chin from Lu Ke's embrace, "Very good, can you tell me now, what the hell is going on?" ”

“…… Mother is worried that you will turn away from me, and then I may be single forever. Lu Ke said honestly.

After two seconds of silence, Candace's eyes were full of smiles, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily raised, "Now, you're out of luck." Remember to slap me in the future, otherwise I will sue Anne and say that you are bullying me, and then let Anne clean you up. ”

Lu Ke's face was full of helplessness, he retracted his jaw, and looked at Candace in his arms, "Why do you need your mother to appear?" As long as Queen Sugar issues an order, I will definitely not disobey it, and I believe that we can 'settle it well' between us." ”

Lu Ke's voice deliberately accented a specific word, as if it was hinting at something, which made Candace's cheeks immediately fly with two blushes, and her whole expression became extremely shy, and then her eyes caught the surrounding figures, and then she realized that they were in public, and now was definitely not the best time to whisper.

"Bambi! We're in the middle of the first round of auctions, and now the whole house is busy, so please help out. Candace raised her head and said to Lu Ke, but found that Lu Ke was still not moving, she could only slap Lu Ke's chest twice, "I'm serious, don't you see that the whole audience is busy?" ”

"Hmph." Lu Ke let out a muffled snort, as if he was seriously injured.

This made Candace laugh helplessly, gritted her teeth, and said word by word, "This is not an occasion for jokes. Having said that, the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and in the end, Candace simply ignored Lu Ke, turned around and walked away "uncooperatively", and even deliberately smiled back at Lu Ke, with a sly light flashing in her eyes.

Lu Ke stood in place and spread out his hands, and could only show a "great white shark" smile towards Candace's bared teeth, and Candace couldn't help but laugh brightly.

Lu Ke quickly chased after him, "Tangtang, wait, I'm serious, this gift ......" Lu Ke raised the gift bag in his hand and explained, "...... From Miles Scott, this is an auction item that he donated exclusively, how about it, did you reserve a spot in advance? But do we need to get the word out a little bit now? Or do you want to be informed? Miles and I are looking forward to a great deal price. ”

Candace paused, "Yes, we reserved a seat ahead of time," and as she spoke, she pulled out the gift Miles had prepared from her gift bag, "Oh! It's actually a bat boy suit! How did he donate this? Isn't this a souvenir of special significance? ”

"Hmm. I know. I said the same thing, but he insisted. He's such a boy who can surprise people time and time again. I also invited him to the Super Bowl, so you can get to know him up close. ”

"Heck, we need to get the word out, it's going to be very, very popular, and even I'd love to be able to participate in the auction."

……

As Candace said, the first round of the auction is now underway, and at the same time the first round of bidding that everyone can participate in collectively.

Because there are so many donated items received in this auction, there are more than 300 pieces, and if each one is auctioned one by one, I don't know how much time it will take; In addition, the value of each auction item is also high and low, and the meaning is naturally different, so in order to distinguish between them, the auction is divided into two rounds.
