Chapter 171 Definitely next time
Gu Xiqing wanted to pull her hand back, but his bony fingers held it tightly.
"Lin Qingxuan, you hurt me."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the interlocked fingers loosened a little.
"You're not wearing a wedding ring." Lin Qingxuan lifted her hand and looked at the fair and delicate fingers clasped with his own. The empty ring finger made him upset.
Gu Xiqing turned away guiltily, "Next time I will definitely..."
Although she had just worn her wedding ring two days ago, she had forgotten where she put it. She had clearly cherished it very much before, but now if she were asked to look for it, she might not be able to find it among the pile of jewelry.
"Next time?" Lin Qingxuan narrowed his eyes, and the heat in his eyes seemed to burn her hand through.
Gu Xiqing touched her nose and smiled awkwardly, "I will wear it on important occasions, don't worry."
Now she is still the granddaughter-in-law of the Lin family. In some occasions with elders, she will dig out her wedding ring and put it on to avoid people from gossiping behind her.
But in private occasions like this, such as going to an auction with Shen Xiang to buy a favorite item, there is no need to wear a wedding ring.
Lin Qingxuan looked at her deeply, feeling mixed emotions and an overwhelming sense of discomfort.
The two walked side by side along the corridor, and when they passed by the previous room, Gu Xiqing couldn't help but take another look.
The door that was half-open before has been closed, and the sound insulation effect is very good. Now no one outside can hear what happens inside.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qingxuan asked curiously when he saw her looking at the closed door all the way.
Gu Xiqing shook her head gently, "Nothing."
Lin Qingxuan followed her gaze and looked back. This door was no different from any other door.
Is it someone she knows who lives behind this door?
A sour taste of jealousy suddenly rose in my heart, and I grabbed her hand tightly, "Let's go, don't you have an appointment with Shen Xiang at eleven o'clock?"
It is now ten fifty-five. After walking through the corridor, I have to take the elevator down and then pass through several entertainment areas before I can reach the door of the auction house.
Five minutes was obviously not enough.
Seeing that there were only five minutes left, Gu Xiqing quickly sent a message to Shen Xiang, saying that she would probably be a few minutes late.
Shen Xiang looked at the message and a bad premonition came to her mind.
Someone who usually arrives on time is suddenly late? Something went wrong?
"Mr. Shen, this is the list of items you requested."
While he was thinking, a staff member came up with a thick list. Shen Xiang stared at the information for two seconds, put down his phone and carefully looked through these rare items.
At the same time, Gu Xiqing and Lin Qingxuan walked through the corridor and took the elevator downstairs.
……
At the entrance of the auction hall, Shen Xiang saw Lin Qingxuan, and her gentle face instantly darkened. She crossed her arms and glanced at him unhappily, "Why are you here too?"
Then he glared at Gu Xiqing in dissatisfaction and complained, "Why is he here?"
Gu Xiqing was also helpless. She couldn't tie Lin Qingxuan's hands and feet, so she couldn't do anything if he wanted to come.
"Why can't I come?" Lin Qingxuan sneered unhappily upon hearing this. He raised his big hand and pulled Gu Xiqing into his arms, holding her waist. He looked down at her with gentle tenderness and affection. "Just take pictures of whatever you want later. I'll pay."
"Eh..." Shen Xiang got goosebumps when she heard this, "Lin Qingxuan, you're so disgusting."
Gu Xiqing's scalp tingled at his words. She pushed him away repeatedly, rubbing the goose bumps on her body. The corners of her mouth twitched as she muttered softly, "Be normal."
