Lin Zheng noticed that Gu Lin's gaze was on his wrist, and when he saw Gu Lin's face, he was surprised, but also a little scary.

Gu Lin usually likes to speak in front of him with a teasing tone, but now, his voice doesn't sound like a joke at all.

Lin Zheng suddenly remembered that Gu Lin's possessiveness was terribly strong. After he agreed to that ridiculous condition, now Gu Lin probably acquiesced that he became his property.

It's not an exaggeration for Gu Lin to be angry if someone touches his own things, but, logically, he shouldn't be so angry.

"Zhao Qi." Lin Zheng unconsciously tightened his grip on the wine glass.

Although he was not the one who did the wrong thing, the invisible pressure on Gu Lin still made Lin Zheng feel that the space around him was compressed a bit.

Lin Zheng's hand hanging by his side was held. Unlike the oppressive atmosphere, the hand holding his wrist gently stroked the skin on his wrist.

Gu Lin frowned slightly.

Very upset.

After a while, Lin Zheng couldn't bear it, and took the initiative to speak, "Well, the first auction will start soon."

Although the location of the two is slightly off, there will still be people passing by from time to time. If someone is interested in taking a photo of the two holding hands, it will probably increase a lot of trouble.

Only then did he loosen his hand slightly, and when the two hands were completely separated, the expression on Gu Lin's face returned to normal.

"I still have something to do, you go first." Gu Lin walked in the opposite direction.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Lin Zheng felt that there was something strange that he couldn't tell.

The item auction was at another venue, and the first auction would start soon, and the crowd started to walk towards that venue.

Lin Zheng was busy thinking about what was wrong with Gu Lin. He didn't notice the people around him. He was accidentally knocked down from behind. The thread behind his ears loosened, and the mask on his face fell off and fell to the ground.

Just as he was about to reach out to pick it up, countless eyes shot towards him.

Lin Zheng became the focus of the field.

"Isn't this the abandoned adopted son of the Zhao family?"

"I said I saw him in the hotel corridor just now."

"How did he get in? Was there an invitation?"

"Could it be fish in troubled waters who sneaked in?"

"Wait a minute, does that mask of his look familiar?"

A pair of chubby hands picked up the mask made of peacock feathers on the ground, and with a sweet smile on his face, he handed it to the person in front of him, "Brother, here, your mask."

Lin Zheng took the mask and touched her head with a smile, "Thank you Yingying."

Just as the little girl wanted to say you're welcome, she was quickly taken aside by her mother, as if she would be infected with some terrible disease if she got too close to Lin Zheng.

Although it was more than an hour ago, Lin Zheng had just rescued her child in a crisis.

As long as you take a closer look, you will find that everyone else is staring at him with probing eyes.

The dance only lasted half the time, and the mask would have to be removed sooner or later. Lin Zheng had already been mentally prepared for such a situation.

But unexpectedly, this scene was bigger than he imagined.

Fine.

Lin Zheng shrugged, let's be big.

Lin Zheng took the mask and walked into the venue.

The discussion behind him continued.

"The mask in his hand, do you think it looks like the young master next to Mr. Gu?"

"Impossible, it's probably just like."

"There are many similar masks."

Then they saw that Lin Zheng sat on the partner's seat with Gu Lin's nameplate.

Everyone: "...!!!"

Only the invited person will put the nameplate, and the companion brought by the inviter will set up the same seat next to it, but without the nameplate.

For a long while, everyone was still immersed in the fact that the abandoned adopted son of the Zhao family was actually Gu Lin's partner, and Lin Zheng was already sitting in the front row boredly counting the handmade feathers on his mask.

Lin Zheng leaned back on the back of the chair, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a line of sight diagonally behind him.

Looking back, hey, I actually saw a scumbag.

The seats of the guests are divided, the more important guests are the closer to the front.

Lin Zheng saw Zhao Qi looking at him with a ghostly expression. If Zhao Qi saw him just now, he seemed to have seen a ghost, but now Zhao Qi looked at him as if he saw a ghost.

Zhao Qi looked at Lin Zheng who was sitting in front of him with unbelievable eyes, seeing Gu Lin's nameplate next to Lin Zheng, he couldn't believe that Lin Zheng's position would be there.

The person who had been stepped on by him all this time actually sat in the seat in front of him.

Zhao Qi's hands on the table unconsciously clenched into fists.

Lin Zheng saw it, snorted, and gave him the middle finger backwards.

When Gu Lin arrived, there were only 5 minutes left before the auction started.

Lin Zheng asked him, "Where did you go just now?"

Gu Lin: "I went to do something."

The auction host's voice came from the front, interrupting Lin Zheng's subsequent questioning.

The host began to introduce the first lot on stage, a landscape painting...

Time passed very slowly, and the auction was halfway through. Gu Lin didn't seem to be interested in anything, and Lin Zheng was also a little drowsy.

"Next, it's our finale collection tonight, the first one,..."

Lin Zheng vaguely heard what kind of antique it was.

"The second piece is a collection inherited from the royal family in the 17th century in Europe, an emerald necklace..."

The starting price is 200 million.

There were voices of asking prices at the venue one after another, and the price was raised to almost 1000 million.

Suddenly, a calm and familiar voice came from my ear, "2000 million."

Lin Zheng woke up suddenly.

It was Gu Lin who just bid.

He looked at Gu Lin, "2000 million???"

He knew that this thing was worth a lot, but calling 2000 million was too high.

Gu Lin smiled at him, "Didn't you say that? This collection is very commemorative."

Lin Zheng: "!!"

What the hell, because of his words?

The price was called 500 million.

Lin Zheng looked at the price increase of the people beside him without changing expression: "3000 million."

Currently, Gu Lin has the highest bid on the field.

Seeing that the 3000 million yuan was almost settled, suddenly, a person appeared out of nowhere and began to bid with Gu Lin.

Listening to the rising numbers, Lin Zheng moved closer to Gu Lin, and persuaded in a low voice: "Mr. Gu, although that necklace is very commemorative, but the other party seems to have made up his mind to want this, there is no need for us to continue to lose to the other party." Use it up, or give it to them."

Gu Lin continued to bid: "4000 million."

Lin Zheng: "..."

It's over, this person can't listen to what others are saying at all.

In the end, Gu Lin got the necklace at the highest price of 5000 million.

Now, if Lin Zheng were asked to summarize Gu Lin, it would probably be - rich and self-willed!

After the auction was over, Lin Zheng saw Zhao Qi leaving in a hurry, as if something important had happened.

Gu Lin's voice came from behind him, "Let's go."

Lin Zheng nodded.

The driver drove the car out of the hotel. Lin Zheng and Gu Lin sat in the back row. The car was very quiet along the way. Gu Lin seemed to be lost in thought. Lin Zheng couldn't talk alone, so he simply closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I don't know how much time has passed. When he opened his eyes again, the car had already stopped. Lin Zheng looked around and saw the familiar old street lights, only to realize that the car was parked downstairs of his house.

Beside him, Gu Lin was facing the fluorescent laptop screen, as if he was busy with work.

Hearing the movement, Gu Lin stopped his hands and looked at him, "Are you awake?"

Lin Zheng straightened up and rubbed his eyes, "Why didn't you call me when we arrived? Huh? When did the driver leave?"

Gu Lin closed the notebook, "Half an hour ago."

"Half an hour? Then how long have I been asleep?"

"Let's think about it, about an hour and a half."

"..."

Lin Zheng quickly opened the door and got out of the car, "Then, go and rest."

Gu Lin raised his eyebrows, "It's already downstairs at your house, why don't you invite me to sit up?"

Lin Zheng blinked his eyes and said hesitantly, "Ah...it's so late, isn't it too..."

Lin Zheng was muttering, when a box appeared in front of him.

He recognized it in a second.

Because in this box, there is an emerald necklace worth 5000 million.

He looked at the box in front of him, then looked up at Gu Lin, with a puzzled look on his face: "?"

Gu Lin put the box into his hands, and a little bit of starlight shone in his eyes, "Next time, remember to finish telling me the story."

Lin Zheng's eyes slowly opened wide.

On the balcony, Gu Lin asked him to tell him a story, and he asked Gu Lin jokingly if he would pay more.

But that was just a joke.

Gu Lin's fingers followed the box to his wrist, and his fingertips slid across the circle of skin that had turned from red to blue with pity.

The scorching heat spread from Gu Lin's fingertips to Lin Zheng's beating pulse, causing his heart to beat too.

Lin Zheng wanted to withdraw his hand, but was held even tighter.

"Gu Lin..."

"Lin Zheng," Gu Lin raised his eyes slightly and looked at him, "Is it time for us to start the next step of the treatment?"
