Chapter 43: Domineering Assertion of Sovereignty
"Wanwan? What are you doing" The sudden connection of the phone made Lu Ci a little flustered, but he quickly reacted.
"Hmm...... Just finished taking a shower and was wiping his hair" Hearing Lu Ci's answer, this did not give Gu Wanwan the slightest suspicion.
"Wanwan, I just saw a news article about you and Jiang Chenxu......" Lu Ci returned to the topic and began to ask her.
"Jiang Chenxu! He was my college classmate, and after you had a fight with him last time, he helped me find a house, but I don't know how it got a photo and posted it on the Internet, it's really hard to do. Originally, he replied very seriously, but after thinking about it, he found that the drunkard did not mean to drink.
"Ahem, ahem, Wanwan, in this way, since we have reconciled, we don't want the house, let's find a time to go back, by the way, you must come to be my female companion at the banquet tomorrow night." Lu Ci was a little embarrassed and hurriedly changed the topic. It just so happened that someone invited me, which was a coincidence.
"Hmm...... Tomorrow night, I will definitely let you see a different me" The banquet naturally can't be casual, it's the one who needs to dress up for this, not to mention for Lu Ci's face.
"Wanwan, in that case, I'll send someone to send you the clothes you need to wear tomorrow, and I'll pick you up in the evening, okay?" Hearing Gu Wanwan's promise, this made Lu Ci feel happy, and immediately began to arrange the next things, but this matter still needs Gu Wanwan's consent.
"Well, okay! Just do as you say, hang up first, see you tomorrow night" Seeing that Lu Ci had been arranged properly, Gu Wanwan smiled inadvertently, it seems that the man he chose was really not wrong.
At the banquet
"Wanwan, if you're tired, go and sit on the sofa over there, I'll go over to accompany you later" Seeing that his beloved was socializing with so many people, his legs were estimated to be sore. This made Lu Ci feel distressed, and hurriedly asked Gu Wanwan to sit there.
"Well, then I'll go, call me if you have something" The misfit of the shoes really made Gu Wanwan feel pain, but he still had to maintain his demeanor, and after saying goodbye to Lu Ci, he walked to the sofa.
"Isn't this Young Master Lu, hello! I am Jiang Chenxu" Not long after Gu Wanwan left, Jiang Chenxu appeared, and he shook hands with Lu Ci with a smile.
"Young Master Jiang, hello, may I ask if you came to me for something?" Looking at Jiang Chenxu, who suddenly appeared, Lu Ci was a little guarded. He didn't know what this person was thinking, and he didn't want to know.
"Young Master Lu, don't be so guarded, I won't do anything to you" Looking at Lu Ci's appearance, Jiang Chenxu smiled inadvertently, "I'm just coming to see you, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first"
Seeing that the "rival in love" despised himself so much, Lu Ci angrily crushed the cup in his hand. After crushing it, he thought about it and felt that he just didn't deserve it! How can it be because of this little thing, if you are angry, then Wan Wan will definitely feel distressed, this is not worth it.
Lu Ci thought about it like this, and he didn't get angry. So he beckoned the waiter not far away, "I just accidentally broke the wine glass, please clean it up"
"Mr. Lu, your hand is ......" The waiter who was called over was a little flattered, but she didn't expect that she actually talked to Lu Ci, which made her feel a little unreal.
"Oh...... Thank you, I'm fine, just wipe it with a paper towel later" As he spoke, he took out a paper towel from his pocket, wiped his hands, and threw it into the trash can next to him, "The glass on the ground will trouble you, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first" After wiping his hands, he said goodbye to the waiter.
"Mr. Lu, goodbye" The waiter was a little excited, and he could show off with his little sister when he went back.
"Lu Ci? Why did you come to me, don't you need to socialize over there? Looking at Lu Ci who was walking towards him, Gu Wanwan was puzzled.
"Hmm...... Come and see you, I'm afraid that no one will talk to you, does your leg still hurt now" Lu Ci looked at Gu Wanwan's leg and asked a little distressed.
"It's okay, my leg doesn't hurt now. You see, it's much better" Seeing Lu Ci feel so sorry for himself, this made Gu Wanwan feel happy. She stood up and spun around in front of Lu Ci to prove that her leg didn't hurt anymore.
"It's good if it doesn't hurt...... There will be an auction after the banquet in a while, I'll take you to see it" Looking at the beautiful person in front of him, Lu Ci wanted to protect her from the bottom of his heart, and didn't want her to be hurt.
When the banquet was over, Lu Ci took Gu Wanwan to the auction venue.
When he sat down, he found that Jiang Chenxu was sitting next to Gu Wanwan, which made him feel a very strange feeling. I just don't want Jiang Chenxu and Gu Wanwan to sit together.
"Wanwan, you're here......" Jiang Chenxu saw Gu Wanwan sitting next to him, which made him a little excited, and he just wanted to talk to her, but was interrupted by Lu Ci.
"Wanwan, get up, let's change seats," Lu Ci stood up and looked at Gu Wanwan and said.
"Huh? What's wrong, I'm sorry Jiang Chenxu. Why are you suddenly going to change seats with me" After listening to what Lu Ci said, Gu Wanwan stood up and apologized to Jiang Chenxu, and then changed seats with Lu Ci.
"Hmm...... Not much, I just think that my seat is more obvious in the stands" Lu Ci looked at Gu Wanwan softly and said, ignoring Jiang Chenxu at all.
"Uh...... Okay" Hearing Lu Ci's perfunctory explanation, this made Gu Wanwan feel a little helpless. She guessed that Lu Ci was eighty percent because she was with Jiang Chenxu, so she asked to change her seat.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the item we are auctioning off now is a necklace made of tears of the ocean, this necklace is a testimony of love, and the most suitable ...... for the woman you like," the host on the stage said to Heart of the Ocean.
"Wanwan, this Heart of the Ocean is very good-looking, do you like it or not" Lu Ci found that Gu Wanwan on the side was staring at the Heart of the Ocean on the stage, and he was secretly happy in his heart. So he approached Gu Wanwan and pretended to ask unintentionally, but in fact, he had planned to buy this item for her
"Hmm...... I like it a little" Seeing Lu Ci ask herself, Gu Wanwan was a little hesitant, but she still nodded and said that she liked it.
"The starting price of Heart of the Ocean is now 10 million! After listening to the starting price of the host, the audience in the audience was ready to move, and they couldn't bear their own thoughts, and they all wanted to win for the beauty.
"Fifteen million"
"Sixteen million"
……
"Good! Forty million once! Million...... Mr. Jiang over there increased the price by another 50 million! Is there any, is there any? Oh! Mr. Lu here sold for 60 million! There is no one left! ......" The host shouted fiercely on the stage, and now only Jiang Chenxu and Lu Ci were left in the audience, and they did not give in to each other.
"Eighty million once! Eighty million twice! Eighty million three times! Good! Deal! The last Heart of the Ocean was finally snatched by Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu, please go backstage to pick up your items after you are over" The Heart of the Ocean was finally taken away by Lu Ci in Jiang Chenxu's lack of funds.
