“Hang on!” Li Shengxia called out hurriedly.

Mo Nianchen turned a little to his side.

Her intention was to prevent him from calling out another ridiculous bid. In order to do so, she pecked him on the cheek quickly.

The unexpected kiss, although just a light peck, was witnessed by most of the people present in the same room. Did someone just kiss the crown prince in the middle of an auction? That was definitely a bold move. Everyone around them began gossiping, stealing quick glances at the woman from time to time.

They began clapping enthusiastically, thinking she was elated for being pampered by the crown prince!

The woman was uneasy about being put under the spotlight. She lowered her head, her face turning red with embarrassment. She must have lost her mind!

On the other hand, the man smiled, evidently satisfied. “Don’t worry, I wasn’t thinking of raising the bid. Who would spend so much on an ordinary necklace?”

Not to mention that she did not even like it!

He was just trying to infuriate Yin Tangyi.

It gave him a sense of accomplishment to see the other man upset.

The old Mo Nianchen would definitely “purge” a presence such as Yin Tangyi without hesitation so he would not have another chance to appear in her life again, but… His efforts in trying to declare full ownership of her in the past were only returned with her disgust. 

He did not want to do that again this time.

It was better to just fulfill all of her demands! He was curious to see if nothing in the world could soften her heart of steel.

The applause continued…

Simultaneously, Yin Tangyi’s face was overcast.

“Thirty million going once, going twice, sold! Congratulations, Young Master Yin!”

It was only then that people shifted their attention to the latter while still clapping their hands…

He was the winning bidder but there was an inexplicable emptiness that filled his heart.

A gift that cost him thirty million probably worth nothing in her eyes.

She actually kissed Mo Nianchen in public!

The furthest he had gone with her was hand holding!

It was unsure if the applause was to suck up to the crown prince or to mock his lavish spending.

Yin Tangyi must have lost his mind to be unable to forget about her. That must be the case…

The man’s face went pale when she did not even look in his direction. The applause began to fade away as if they were coming from another universe.

“The next item is a red diamond named The Star of Eternity, which also starts at three million.”

Li Shengxia was astonished by the sight of that red diamond ring.

How beautiful!

The crystal clear blood-red diamond reminded her of the idea of an everlasting promise. 

The little spark of inspiration hurried her into putting that idea onto paper.

A ring was normally worn on the fourth finger since it was said that the ring finger was connected to the heart. There was even a saying that described how the red thread wrapped around the finger held the lovers together. 

She suddenly found the inspiration for the upcoming fashion show!

Her fingers began to sketch rapidly across the paper. The adrenaline rush drowned out the commotion happening in the auction hall so much that she had no idea Mo Nianchen was the winning bidder of this ring.

Soon, the idea appeared on the white paper in its embryonic form.

The bright red long dress was marvelous. Its most distinguishing design was the couple of silk ribbons coming out from the left sleeve, which could be tied around the model’s left ring finger.

She named this work Ten Miles of Red. 

An intense joy filled her heart. She believed this creation would really stand out after some meticulous touching-up!

She had lost track of time completely. The charity auction already ended by the time she completed the sketch. She and Mo Nianchen were the only people left in the hall.

The staff came in numerous times to check if there were still guests lingering around thus they could finally start packing down the place. However, no matter how many times they checked, the crown prince and his companion never left.

They dared not confront the crown prince, thus they left without a word.

Simultaneously, the man was patiently waiting for her to finish sketching. A faint smile hung on her face. The woman, absorbed in her work, appeared quiet and serene as if nothing from the outside could steal her attention.

This was her dedication toward designing. He became invisible when she was engrossed in her work. He used to get furious about being neglected and tried numerous ways to make his presence known.

However, he decided not to behave stubbornly today. Not only was he not upset about being ignored, he thought the focused woman was extremely adorable and waited patiently on the side.

When she was finally brought back to reality at the completion of her work, the sight of the empty hall startled her.

“Where’s everyone?”

He replied simply, “They’re long gone.”

She was evidently surprised when she realized the time. “Sorry, I was too engrossed in my creation. You must have waited for a long time?” It was out of her expectations that he did not hurry her. This hot and cold treatment made it more difficult for her to completely detach from him. 

He raised an eyebrow playfully. “What do you think?”

“Sorry,” she said sincerely.

He replied lazily, “What’s the point of apologizing? You should try to please me instead.”

“Well, what do you want me to do then?” She was prepared to receive any sort of punishment.

Surprisingly, he answered with a short reply. “Put this on.” Then, he pushed a delicate box toward her.

“What’s this?” She opened it finally, only to find out it was the red diamond ring being auctioned just now.

Upon remembering its price and the special meaning behind it, she refused out of instinct. “I… I can’t take this.”

She rejected him!

His voice suddenly turned indifferent. “Just accept the gift! You don’t have a ring anyway.”

They did not exchange rings at the marriage registry.

“But we’re only acting…”

His cold voice rang in the air once more before she could finish speaking, “Wear it so you’ll not go around seducing other men.”

“…”

Indeed, he had a sharp tongue!

She did like this ring, so she wore it on her ring finger.

The woman did not realize the person was standing outside of the hall. He had waited a long time but to no avail, thus he decided to look for her inside. He froze in his tracks by the time he reached the door. The man intended to give her the black diamond necklace but he suddenly found out she had put on the ring given to her by someone else…
