The entire auction hall fell into an eerie silence. Everyone's eyes fell on the man and woman on the stage, secretly speculating about the relationship between Su Wan and the Emperor's son.
The spotlight flickered, and Jiang Xuecheng walked towards Su Wan step by step with calm steps.
The powerful footsteps seemed to be stepping on Su Wan's heart, making her feel exceptionally safe.
But how did Jiang Xuecheng find her? !
After a moment of unbelievable joy, Su Wan's heart was filled with panic, making her at a loss.
Su Wan lowered her head timidly. A strand of hair stuck to the corner of her mouth, feeling sticky and a little uncomfortable.
She didn't dare to look at Jiang Xuecheng at all!
Su Wan let out a bitter smile. Her hands, which were bound by ropes, tightened slightly, and her fingertips turned pale.
—Although she has always longed for this man to appear and save her like a god.
But when it really happened, Su Wan realized what it meant to be embarrassed!
The embarrassment cannot be concealed!
Her most unbearable side was seen by this man. Su Wan felt so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole to bury herself!
No one can see the best.
Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan lowering her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling, with a bit of paleness, a bit of fragility, and a bit of avoidance towards him...
A hint of darkness flashed across Jiang Xuecheng's eyes. He slowly lowered his head, forcing Su Wan to look at him.
In an instant, their eyes met.
The two were very close to each other, and Su Wan could even smell the exceptionally clear scent coming from Jiang Xuecheng.
The expression on Su Wan's face turned a little sour, and a thin mist unconsciously formed in his eyes.
This feeling is extremely familiar, yet it seems like a lifetime ago.
"Are you that afraid of me?"
Jiang Xuecheng's face was extremely gloomy, like the sky in June that was about to rain.
Jiang Xuecheng said this very close to Su Wan's ear, with his voice only loud enough for Su Wan to hear. If someone who didn't know saw the two of them standing so close to each other, they would think they were saying some sweet words to each other!
When Su Wan heard Jiang Xuecheng's questioning, she was suddenly stunned!
Are you afraid of him
Su Wan couldn't help but frown. In fact, she was a little afraid of this man from the bottom of her heart.
But seeing Jiang Xuecheng's murderous look, Su Wan could only shake her head against her will.
"How... How could this be..."
Su Wan lowered her voice, but no matter how she pretended, she still looked extremely flustered, and even looked away.
In Jiang Xuecheng's opinion, such behavior is not only guilty, but also perfunctory.
Jiang Xuecheng looked down at Su Wan with mixed feelings.
—
Sometimes he really felt that Su Wan was an ungrateful person, and would stab him from time to time.
But if I really want to let go, I just can't bear to do it.
During the days that Su Wan disappeared, he had trouble sleeping and eating. When he tried to sleep, he would think of his second personality, so he only dared to doze off for a few dozen minutes intermittently, but did not dare to really fall asleep!
Because of Su Wan, he didn't even get enough rest!
But he clearly saved Su Wan, so why could this woman still be so heartless and never dare to face his sincerity.
Being stared at by Jiang Xuecheng with such a direct gaze, Su Wan couldn't help but feel even more guilty.
Thinking that although there seemed to be no one here, there were actually guests everywhere, Su Wan's cheeks turned slightly red, and she felt even more embarrassed.
She looked at Jiang Xuecheng somewhat earnestly and began to make a serious proposal.
"There are too many people watching here. Can you help me untie the rope and take me away from here, please?"
The bright light shone into Su Wan's eyes, which were like glass, so pitiful that it made people feel soft-hearted.
Seeing that Jiang Xuecheng didn't say anything, Su Wan became even more frightened. Her eyes gradually turned red and she couldn't even speak clearly.
"I... I'll explain it to you later... okay?"
Jiang Xuecheng couldn't help but snort coldly when he saw Su Wan's docile and gullible appearance like a sheep.
Anyone who believes Su Wan is suspicious. This girl may appear submissive on the surface, but in fact, she won’t appreciate your kindness at all!
Jiang Xuecheng was sulking in his heart, but he stretched out his long arms and pulled Su Wan into his arms very forcefully.
Su Wan was suddenly dragged out of the iron cage by a huge force. His whole body trembled and he subconsciously let out a cry of surprise.
Jiang Xuecheng's action was so sudden that Su Wan felt like her arm was about to be broken by him.
Su Wan glanced at Jiang Xuecheng with some resentment, but she also knew that this man must still be angry. After all, Jiang Xuecheng would never forgive her for "running away from home".
Thinking of this, Su Wan's resentment disappeared, and she could only stare at Jiang Xuecheng with her black and white eyes.
There was a hint of flattery in his expression.
Jiang Xuecheng's eyes swept over Su Wan. He saw that Su Wan spoke word by word with a tone of gnashing teeth.
"If you dare to run away again, I will break your legs!"
As he spoke, Jiang Xuecheng's dark eyes narrowed, looking extremely dangerous.
Jiang Xuecheng said this close to Su Wan's ear, his voice was very soft and low, without any warmth.
There was heat lingering on the tips of Su Wan's ears, like the whispers between lovers, but full of threats and cruelty.
Su Wan's heart trembled. The situation was stronger than the person. Su Wan did not dare to express any opinions. He decisively and obediently put his head on his shoulder.
She remained silent, as well-behaved and harmless as she was on Earth, even with a hint of attachment.
Seeing Su Wan's submissive look, Jiang Xuecheng finally felt better. He simply picked up Su Wan forcefully and walked directly off the stage.
Manager Fan had been waiting for a long time in the audience. When Jiang Xuecheng passed by holding Su Wan, Manager Fan thought for two seconds, then gritted his teeth and went to greet him.
"Your Highness, what should we do with the people here?"
The term "people" here is a broad concept, such as Master Keller who tried to take advantage of Su Wan before, and those who captured Su Wan and sold her...
As for other guests who come to buy "goods", they will probably be in trouble as well. However, the punishment can be big or small, depending on the decision of the prince. He dare not overstep his authority.
Jiang Xuecheng was tall and slender. Although he was holding Su Wan in his arms, his posture was extremely dignified, as if Su Wan, a living person, did not account for any of his weight.
He glanced at Manager Fan coldly, his voice was cold, deep, and decisive.
"Those who came to participate in the auction can leave directly and go back to reflect! The rest of you should be locked up first! Do you need me to teach you how to interrogate them?!"
Manager Fan shuddered when he heard this. He now understood what His Highness meant.
It seems that Master Keller escaped with a broken arm, but he did not completely offend the DeFei family.
The other guests were fine, but the people who organized the auction were probably in trouble...
Your Highness will definitely not let them go...
