“I’m sorry.” Mo Yan lowered her head and apologized, her eyes drooping.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I, Su Hai, am not such a stingy person. Moreover, you are so cute. A beautiful woman should have some privileges.”

“Su Hai?” Mo Yan was stunned. She had heard of Su Hai’s name before. Although his family had a big business, he was flirtatious. It seemed like the rumors were true.

Coincidentally, the company had a business deal to discuss with the Su family.

“Mr. Su, we have a collaboration—” Before Mo Yan could finish her words, Su Hai stopped her and winked while smiling.

“Little beauty, I only want to dance now. I don’t want to talk about business.” Although Su Hai’s words were said in a little jest, his meaning was very clear. Mo Yan understood it. Despite feeling aggrieved, she did not make Su Hai unhappy anymore, and the two of them would finish the dance very quickly.

“Little beauty, it was very happy to dance with you. I will personally take off your mask. Just you wait.” Su Hai left the dance floor with those words.

After all, his main purpose for going to the charity gala was for the Su family’s business, not to pursue a beauty.

Very soon, it was the last segment of the charity gala – the unveiling segment. First, the men went up on stage to take off their masks. Perhaps it was nothing much, but there were only one or two people bidding. The venue was very awkward.

When it was time for the ladies to go on stage, the host was especially alert. Mo Lian adjusted her golden mask and looked around arrogantly, her eyes looking disdainful.

“You can decide later. My price for taking off my mask must be the highest in the entire venue,” Mo Lian said arrogantly and looked at Mo Yan from the corner of her eyes. “As for her, we’ll think of a way to make her fail to have a matching bid or make a fool of herself later. Anyway, with her poor appearance, no one will take her.”

Although Mo Lian said that, she felt unsettled. Mo Yan’s outfit was too beautiful. Maybe some rich and capricious young master would spend money on her.

Mo Lian wanted to give her a few more words of advice, but the host was already calling her to go on stage. The host was obviously counting on her to go up and make the first shot.

“What a proud peacock.” Su Hai went to Mo Yan’s side at some point. He sat down sideways with half of his body leaning close to her.

Mo Yan took a step to the side and said, “Mr. Su, men and women should not be unnecessarily intimate. It’s better for us to keep a distance.”

Su Hai had already taken off his mask. His frivolous personality aside, he was as handsome as a movie star. A few girls had bid up the price to compete for his final unveiling, and his final bid ended at five million.

It was an astronomical figure that Mo Yan had never dreamed of. The money was enough to pay for her mother’s medicine for a long time.

“You can’t say that. I’m going to spend a lot of money on you later. I’m already going to pay so much. Can’t I sit closer?” Su Hai clutched his chest and said with great sadness.

Su Hai’s ability to act coquettishly was his weapon in the field of love. He had won the hearts of countless girls that way. Unfortunately, Mo Yan didn’t fall for it. She silently glanced at Su Hai, then quietly moved to the side and looked around.

It was probably her imagination, but she felt that someone was silently watching her.

Meanwhile, Su Hai still didn’t give up. He audaciously moved closer and almost pressed himself on Mo Yan. “Little beauty, I’ve warned you. When you’re with me, you can’t think about other men.”

Mo Yan sighed and straightened her body slightly. “Mr. Su, you must have misunderstood. I’m not with you. At most, we just danced together. I’m not interested in participating in the unveiling later, and it’s not worth you spending so much money to unveil me.”

Mo Yan was very regretful. If she had known that the charity gala would be so boring, she would have stayed at home and read books or watched dramas. At the very least, she would have had more freedom.

The venue was very quiet, so many people had heard what Mo Yan had just said. Meanwhile, Mo Lian stood on the stage. Her unveiling had been auctioned off for 10 million. Before she could be happy about her bid, she heard Mo Yan’s nonchalant words. As for the guests, they looked at each other. All their eyes were then focused on Mo Yan. How could they still remember that the main character at that moment was Mo Lian?

“That’s Su Hai. He’s the most willing to spend money on women. I think the highest bidder tonight is him!”

“But it’s only tens of millions. Who would care for that amount?”

Mo Lian, standing stiffly on the stage, felt that she had been greatly humiliated.
