When Xiao Fei, accompanied by Yuxin, sat in the seat specially reserved for them by the organizers of the auction event at the Peace Hotel.
The person sitting next to Xiao Fei imdiately gave a friendly smile.
“Hello, are you… Mr. Xiao?”
“Xiao Fei, Boss Ma, just call Xiao Fei.”
Although Xiao Fei wasn’t particularly taken with Boss Ma, who initiated the conversation, he managed to put on an impeccable front.
Under the gentle light, Xiao Fei’s eyes, containing a hint of a smile within their calmness, made Boss Ma’s heart skip a beat.
He had t many people.
Ordinary office workers, elite professionals, company executives, governnt officials, and even heads of state.
He once traveled abroad with Yanxia’s elder statesman.
After encountering so many types of people, Boss Ma thought there wouldn’t be anyone in the world who could surprise him anymore.
But Xiao Fei’s presence shattered Boss Ma’s perception.
He is a very young man.
Very young and very handso, perfectly fitting all won’s aesthetic appreciation worldwide, whether East or West.
Even as a man, Boss Ma couldn’t help but marvel at Xiao Fei’s appearance, which was so perfect it was almost unbelievable he was human.
He seed like a noble prince from ancient tis, just sitting there, slightly turning to nod and smile, making Boss Ma feel as though he was in the presence of a lofty deity.
“Mr. Xiao, you truly have an extraordinary presence. I’ve admired you for a long ti. Shall we have a drink together after the auction tonight?”
Boss Ma extended his invitation.
He was very curious about Xiao Fei.
How did this young man manage to beco so pivotal in both Yanxia and the world, amassing a wealth of over 200 billion in his twenties in just a few years?
Especially when it ca to JPMorgan and Spacey, places he couldn’t penetrate no matter how hard he tried.
Hearing Boss Ma’s invitation, Xiao Fei smiled slightly and shook his head.
“I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint Boss Ma.”
“The kids at ho are young and rely on us. After the auction, I need to go ho and soothe the children.”
As he said this, Xiao Fei turned back to exchange a smile with Yuxin.
The deep affection visible in their eye contact left Boss Ma and others who had been observing Xiao Fei montarily stunned.
Looking after…
Looking after children?
People at their level would decline an invitation from soone of equal status for such a reason?
This unprecedented situation left Boss Ma montarily bewildered.
However, having experienced many ups and downs, he quickly regained his composure, a dignified smile appearing on his face, and said, “No worries. Mr. Xiao, it’s impressive that with such capabilities, you still focus on family. I’m quite envious.”
“Speaking of which, it has been a long ti since I properly spent ti with my family.”
After speaking, Boss Ma nodded towards Yuxin sitting next to Xiao Fei, “This must be Mrs. Xiao? Mrs. Xiao is very fortunate.”
Regardless of the truth behind Xiao Fei’s reason for refusal, Boss Ma gave him face.
In the brief mont of interaction, Boss Ma also sensed that if he couldn’t make headway with Mr. Xiao, approaching through his wife might be the best choice.
Boss Ma was old and wise.
With a glance, he could tell he was looking at a deeply loving couple who were extrely fond of each other.
“Thank you, Boss Ma…”
A little bashfully, Yuxin replied.
She still felt a bit giddy.
That was Boss Ma!
Yet he was speaking so gently to her!
With sparkling eyes, Yuxin gazed at Xiao Fei, knowing it was all because of the man beside her.
She quietly leaned against Xiao Fei, watching as her husband cheerfully conversed with these esteed figures she had only seen in the news.
Whether it was Boss Ma or the other tycoons, her husband chatted with them seamlessly.
Any topic from anywhere flowed effortlessly, showcasing refined manners, attending to everyone without neglecting anyone, yet without showing special favor.
anwhile.
Yuxin keenly sensed several pairs of eyes in the auction hall focusing intensely on her.
Among those looks, many were from n, eyes sparkling with amazent and even obsession, seemingly captivated by her beauty and charm.
However, more notably, there was a familiarity in the envious stares from won.
Their eyes held subtle dissatisfaction and admiration, seemingly jealous of her being with an outstanding man like Xiao Fei.
Feeling those gazes, a proud smile gradually appeared on Yuxin’s face.
This is…
Her man, Tang Yuxin’s man!
The man dominating the business world yet showering her with the utmost tenderness.
Thinking of this, she unconsciously leaned closer to Xiao Fei, her heart brimming with happiness and pride.
After a short while, the auction finally comnced amidst everyone’s anticipation.
As the lights in the entire hall slowly dimd, a few bright spotlights, like magical elves on stage, shone precisely on the platform.
Then, a woman in a qipao, walking gracefully, stepped onto the stage.
The qipao outlined her alluring silhouette, every gesture exuding the charm of an Oriental woman.
Smiling, she introduced herself with a lodious voice, saying her na was Yun Kejia, the host of this auction.
As she eloquently outlined the auction’s rules and highlights, the staff smoothly distributed auction docunts to everyone.
The beautifully crafted docunts detailed all items to be auctioned, ranging from rare artifacts to famous paintings, a dazzling array.
Xiao Fei glanced casually through the docunt in his hand, noting that most items were artifacts and calligraphy.
He wasn’t particularly interested in these.
After skimming, he handed the docunt to Yuxin, saying softly, “Honey, see if there’s anything you’re interested in?”
Though she assud she wouldn’t be too interested in these items, Yuxin obediently took the docunt.
Her gaze calmly moved over the pages.
Suddenly, her hand paused, her eyes fixed on an auction item description.
Gold Filigree Incense Pendant.
That was the na of the auction item.
In the image, the fist-sized golden pendant resembling an incense burner was incredibly beautiful!
The hollowed-out design, intricate filigree work, especially the lifelike twin phoenixes seemingly ready to soar into flight.
As a woman, Yuxin naturally had a keen sense for beautiful things.
At a glance.
She was deeply captivated by this auction item.
Ever-observant of Yuxin’s expressions, Xiao Fei imdiately sensed his wife really liked this item and gently asked:
“Do you like this one?”
“Hmm…”
Yuxin glanced at Xiao Fei, lightly nodding, a hint of longing lingering in her gaze at the exquisite piece.
“Then I’ll buy it for you later.”
Xiao Fei stated without hesitation.
For him, as long as it made Yuxin happy, spending any amount was worthwhile.
“…Better not.”
After so hesitation, Yuxin gently shook her head.
There was a flicker of reluctance in her eyes, but much more rationality.
She thought it was too extravagant.
After all, at such a high-end auction, the prices of items must be significant.
She wasn’t soone who sought luxurious indulgence.
Though well aware her husband had plenty of money, Yuxin still didn’t want to spend unnecessarily on things neither edible nor wearable.
Rather than spending money on this, she’d prefer focusing on discovering fun places and planning a warm family vacation with her husband and their adorable children.
