Huang Jian's gaze was fixed intently on the entrance of the auction house, anxious that he might miss the sight of Sheng Yanzhou if he let his attention wander for even a moment. After waiting for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up. He stepped forward, suppressing his excitement and feeling somewhat uneasy.
"Mr. Sheng, I—"
Sheng Yanzhou was turned slightly to the side, speaking with Ruan Fuxi when he heard the voice and glanced at Huang Jian.
"I don't recognize you."
His expression was indifferent, and his voice low.
"Who are you?"
Huang Jian lowered his head respectfully and replied, "Mr. Sheng, I am Huang Jian from Huang Mining. I had the fortune of meeting you at a banquet once."
Sheng Yanzhou nodded slightly, still not recognizing him. Huang Jian understood that his identity was not enough for Sheng Yanzhou to remember him. Before Sheng Yanzhou could show any impatience, he quickly stated his purpose.
"Mr. Sheng, I didn't realize that was your private box at the auction earlier. I regret missing your chance to bid on the gem you desired; it was entirely my fault."
Upon hearing this, a flicker of understanding crossed Sheng Yanzhou's mind. So it was him who had been competing with Xiao Xi for the bid just now.
As a result, Sheng Yanzhou's demeanor appeared even more detached. Huang Jian noticed his silence and felt increasingly anxious. After a moment of thought, he added hastily, "If you like yellow gemstones, I can gather some for you later."
Sheng Yanzhou replied curtly, "There's no need."
Xiao Xi had already acquired the gem she liked; Huang Jian hadn't meant any harm, so this matter could be set aside.
As soon as Huang Jian finished speaking, he realized he might have said something inappropriate. The Sheng family held a prestigious status; if they liked something, it certainly wasn't up to him to present it as a gift. The items he could find might not even be worthy of their attention.
Huang Jian could only nod in agreement, unsure whether the matter of bidding for the yellow gemstone had been resolved or not with Mr. Sheng. He wondered if his own company would be affected.
Noticing that Sheng Yanzhou had not spoken further, he took Ruan Fuxi's hand, preparing to leave. It was then that Huang Jian noticed Ruan Fuxi trailing a step behind Sheng Yanzhou, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes. After sensing Sheng Yanzhou's cold gaze, she quickly lowered her head.
He recognized Ruan Fuxi. She had come to the auction today for Mr. Sheng's sake. Reflecting on the fleeting glimpse he had just caught, he couldn't help but marvel at how stunning Mr. Sheng's girlfriend truly was; seeing her in person was far more impressive than on screen. No wonder Mr. Sheng was willing to temporarily set aside his corporate duties to chase after her on a variety show, boldly declaring his feelings.
If it were him, he would certainly go to great lengths to win her over, reaching for the stars if necessary. However, Huang Jian knew he didn't have the audacity to covet Sheng Yanzhou's woman.
As Ruan Fuxi passed by Huang Jian, she paused for a moment, prompting Sheng Yanzhou to stop and ask with concern, "Xiao Xi, what's wrong?"
Huang Jian watched in amazement; it seemed Mr. Sheng genuinely cared for Miss Ruan. The tenderness in his voice was a stark contrast to how he treated others.
Ruan Fuxi smiled at Sheng Yanzhou, signaling him not to worry, then turned to Huang Jian and said, "This gentleman has recently encountered some good fortune."
Huang Jian wasn't much into online trends and had only heard about Sheng Yanzhou's appearance on the variety show from others. He had also heard that Ruan Fuxi could tell fortunes. Given her current status, he felt pleasantly surprised that she was speaking directly to him.
