After getting into the car, Zhao Siqing kept turning her head to look out of the window, not daring to look at Huo Jingchen again.
His gaze was too hot, making her unable to withstand it.
She knew that he had a deep sense of unease and fear, so she did not mind admitting that she was his, as long as it would make him feel more at ease.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the Imperial Hotel.
Huo Jingchen was the first to get out of the car. He then opened the car door for Zhao Siqing, covering the edge of the car to prevent her from bumping into it.
Zhao Siqing looked up at him. Perhaps it was because she remembered what she had just said, but her face turned slightly red.
Huo Jingchen smiled and led Zhao Siqing upstairs to change.
When they got out, the auction guests had already entered the venue.
Huo Jingchen and Jiang Jingming met. They seemed to have something to say, so Zhao Siqing went into the auction hall alone.
After receiving the list of items for today's auction, Zhao Siqing was about to turn around to find a seat, but she did not expect to run into this 'familiar' person.
Gu Anhui was wearing a black evening gown with exquisite Pearl earrings and a necklace, which made her look elegant.
The moment she saw Zhao Siqing, she raised her chin slightly and revealed a smile. "I didn't expect to run into Dr. Zhao here. You and I are really fated. "
"indeed, " Zhao Siqing replied gently, without much intention of greeting her.
She and Gu Anhui could not be friends to begin with, so it would be too fake to be overly friendly and greet each other.
"Jing... Huo Jingchen isn't with you? " Gu Anhui asked again, her beautiful eyes falling behind Zhao Siqing as she looked around.
"He's outside with his friends. He'll come over later, " Zhao Siqing said gently. She didn't have much of a reaction to Gu Anhui's excessive attention on Huo Jingchen.
After all, everyone knew Sima Zhao's intentions. She would lose face if she was too calculative at this time.
"I told you, if it wasn't for Huo Jingchen's help, Doctor Zhao wouldn't have been invited to such a banquet, " Gu Anhui said with a smile. If it wasn't for the fact that her words were laced with sarcasm.. From Afar, it looked like she was chatting with Zhao Siqing.
Hearing the undisguised sarcasm and contempt in her tone, Zhao Siqing smiled and looked straight at Gu Anhui with her almond-shaped eyes.
"there is indeed a threshold for the auction, but the original intention is to differentiate people's purchasing ability, not to divide people into three, six, and nine grades. "Miss Gu is indeed from a noble background, but that doesn't mean that you are superior to others. There is a threshold for the auction, but there is no threshold for charity. "
Hearing her words, Gu Anhui's eyes darkened.
The woman in front of her was dressed in a smoky blue Muslin dress. Her temperament was cold, and her snow-white skin and light brows gave her an otherworldly aura. She was so beautiful that there was no aggression to speak of.
Her beauty was not that stunning, and her entire person was neither hot nor cold.
However, standing in front of her made people feel an invisible sense of inferiority.
Yes, inferiority.
Gu Anhui thought that she had lived a luxurious life since she was young, and her looks were outstanding. She had never felt inferior in front of any woman.
However, in front of Zhao Siqing, who was nothing compared to her, she always felt that she could not compare to him.
Zhao Siqing saw her expression, and seeing that she had no intention of speaking, she said again, "if there's nothing else, Miss Gu, I'll take my leave first. Please help yourself. "
With that, Zhao Siqing turned around to see where Huo Jingchen was.
"Zhao Siqing! " Gu Anhui stood behind her and called out to her again.
