substitute

After showing the invitation card to the ceremony officer at the door, I entered the venue with three bodyguards including the knight.

Although I have confirmed that the knight is the man I met in Linka City, but now I don't know how to speak.

Obviously, he mistook me for another girl at that time, and she was also called "Xiaosha", a girl who looked similar to me, if he told me that "Xiaosha" was his ex-girlfriend or Current girlfriend, I'm not sure I can still smile at people.

After much deliberation, I decided that it would be better to keep this matter in my heart first.

Before the auction started, a small banquet was held first.

In a trance, I didn't know how many people I had to drink with. I rubbed the stiff smile on my face and stayed in the corner of the venue to take a rest.

The knight came to my side, handed me a glass of water, and said, "Drink some water, miss."

He is such a sensible person who naturally knows what appellation to use on which occasions, I took a few sips from the water glass to moisten my throat, and then I heard him say: "Miss, is there anything you like in this auction? "

"Well, the eyeballs of a subskeletal dragon."

He smiled knowingly: "Gem."

"Well," I glanced at his smiling face, and looked around to see if no one noticed our side, so I whispered, "Not only because it is a gemstone, but the color of the eyeballs of this suborthopedic dragon... ...is very similar to your eye color."

"...That's right."

He took a step forward, took the water glass in my hand, and brushed the broken hair around my ear again, and said: "Miss, I have something to leave temporarily, Kadan and the others are nearby, if you are in any danger, they will come first." You'll find out in no time, so don't worry."

I didn't expect him to show any emotional expression because of what I said just now, but it's too much for him to calmly say that he wants to leave?

I pouted, and said with a sigh of relief: "Go, let's go, don't come back at all, anyway, Kadan and the others are protecting me, it doesn't matter if you are missing."

"That can't be done," he chuckled softly, "If it wasn't for me to protect the lady myself, I would be very disturbed."

"I'll go back as soon as I go, the lady just enjoys the banquet."

After finishing speaking, he bowed slightly to me as a gesture, then turned and left.

"What is more important than me?"

I was gripping my skirt in dissatisfaction and complaining softly when I heard a voice behind me saying, "Long time no see, Miss Linsa."

I turned around, and Arman Keith, who was wearing a white suit, came towards me with a red wine glass in his hand. Out of politeness, I smiled back and said, "Long time no see, Mr Case."

"Don't call me 'Mr. Keith', our relationship can be more intimate, you can call me Arman, or..." His gaze crossed my chest, deepening the smile on his face, "Future husband."

Today's dress is a tube top and small foreign dress. Feeling his malicious and lewd gaze, I couldn't help feeling a strong nausea rising from my stomach, so I turned slightly sideways and said coldly: "This is impossible , and please stop thinking about it, Mr. Keith."

As if he didn't expect me to be so shameless, Arman's face was a little ugly, and even the hand holding the red wine glass trembled: "Stinky girl, don't be ignorant, if you don't like your beautiful Face, just because you hold the Stola family can't compare to the Keith family, sooner or later I will let you lie on the bed like a prostitute and beg me to fuck you."

"you……"

I was shocked by his uneducated and shameless remarks. I used to think that although this person was indifferent, at least he was well-bred, and I was blind.

A waiter happened to pass by with a wine tray, so I took a glass of red wine and poured it on Alman in a fit of anger.

He was proud of himself, but I doused him head-on, the red wine stains smeared on his elegant white suit, and he was in countless embarrassments.

Because of the commotion on our side, the venue caused a lot of commotion. I don't need to look to know that although the group of family representatives around me who are darker than Mo have expressions of surprise on their faces, they may actually be secretly Le wants to see our jokes.

Alman, who reacted, was almost mad. He smashed the wine glass in his hand on the ground, and he was about to slap me when he rounded his arms: "You bitch! Look, I won't deal with you today!"

Kadan and the others sensed something was wrong and rushed to my side and stopped Yarman. The people around knew that no matter where it was, especially at this kind of high-end banquet, it would not look good for a big man to beat a little girl with his hands, so they all pretended Persuade peace and pull him away.

"Linsa Nestola, you wait for me."

Arman left this sentence viciously, and went to the locker room.

I was also full of anger, trying to calm down while panting for breath, when the bodyguard Kadan laughed and said, "Miss, why are you so angry when Mr. Knight leaves?"

"It doesn't matter to him, he will still throw that hooligan when I am here."

Kadan shook his head with a smile. Although he is tall and strong, his mind is very delicate: "Maybe the lady can't notice it. In my opinion, as long as Mr. Knight is by your side, your voice will be soft unconsciously." many."

Not long after, we were ushered into the hall where the auction was held by the waiter. The bidding families are allowed to bring a bodyguard to enter the venue. I have already greeted Kadan. When the knight comes back, let him enter the venue directly. .

There were still 5 minutes before the official start, and the knight hurriedly appeared and sat beside me.

I whispered dissatisfied: "Where have you been?"

He winked at me, narrowed his eyes and smiled very cutely: "I won't tell you."

I puffed up my cheeks and was about to ask, but the host had already entered the venue.

He is a bit short in stature, wearing a black suit with a red bow at the neckline, and a beautiful face under his navy blue hair, but he should be a man in this attire.

I couldn't help admiring: "This host is too good-looking, isn't he? She's more delicate than a girl."

Unexpectedly, the knight laughed out loud: "Yes, he is very delicate. If he hears this, he will probably be chopped off."

"Huh?" I looked at Xia Ke strangely, "Do you know him?"

"Well, it is."

I don't know if it's my illusion, I always feel that the beautiful host looked at us several times intentionally or unintentionally, and then said blankly: "Everyone, everyone, welcome to this auction. , Today we have a total of ten auction items, let me introduce them to you one by one."

Although the host looks good, but the hosting skills are really bad, the tone is cold, and even the introduction of the items is just a few words, is it really good to be perfunctory?

I don't know if it was because the atmosphere was not heated up, but the whole auction was extremely boring, and some items seemed to be booked without bidding.

I waited and waited and finally arrived at the last product, the eyeball of the subosteosaur.

"The starting price of this product is 5000 million."

I immediately signaled the knight to hold up a sign: "8000 million."

I deliberately raised the price by 3000 million directly, just to tell other people that I am determined to win this thing.

"8000 million once, 8000 million twice..."

Then, a voice that I hate so much sounded: "9000 million!"

I turned my head and saw that bastard Yarman was smiling at me triumphantly in a purple suit.

Before the host repeated it for the first time, I said, "[-] million!"

"One hundred million times..."

"One hundred and sixty million!"

Yarman estimated that he was determined to make it difficult for me. The market value of the eyeballs of the Yagukelong will not exceed [-] million. He is willing to make a loss-making business and fight against me. The limit my father gave me this time is that the upper limit of each product is [-] million ...

I looked at the knight next to me, and he happened to be looking at me with the usual smile on his face.

I no longer hesitate in my heart, this is also the first time I have violated my father's wishes in matters related to money: "Double!"

[-] million is the highest price I can give, and if it goes up further, my father will really be angry.

There were exclamations from all around, obviously feeling that my decision was very impulsive and not in line with the way of doing business at all, but so what, I just want to get what I want.

Yarman obviously also began to hesitate. Although he is the only son in the family, he is not the head of the family after all, and there are some things that cannot be done arbitrarily.

Then the host's cold voice sounded: "One time for [-] million, two times for [-] million..."

I looked at Yarman as if he was determined to raise the card again, but the host seemed to have not seen it and continued: "Three hundred million times, deal, congratulations to this lady, the eyeball of the suborthopedic dragon belongs to Yours."

"……Um?"

In the polite applause, I said to the knight: "Is this host deliberately biased toward us?"

"Of course," he smiled, "Miss, you are so cute, even the gods will favor you."
