Lu Qinshang turned around and rolled his eyes at her. “Why are you everywhere?!”

“You’re not the only Chinese celebrity invited to the red carpet this time!” Luo Tianxue’s pink lips curled up as she said proudly, “And I’m sorry, I stole your number one spot on the trending chart again!!”

“Tsk!” Lu Qinshang scoffed. “Don’t think that I don’t know that you’ve spent money to appear on the trending chart again.”

Luo Tianxue stuck out her pink tongue. “I have money and nowhere to spend it. Are you green with envy?”

Just as the two of them were about to fight, Lin Qingqian stopped them. “Hurry up and return the clothes to me. Then, go find your Moms and go back home.”

Luo Tianxue walked in front of her and held her arm intimately before saying happily, “Qingqian, your style this time is very successful! I’ll buy this cheongsam! I have a party tonight. Can you come with me?”

“No.” Lu Qinshang refused immediately. “She’s attending my party tonight.”

Luo Tianxue glared at him with watery eyes. “Lu Qinshang, do you have to fight with me?”

Lu Qinshang raised his chin. “So what if I do? If you have the ability, call Lu Dongcheng to beat me up.”

Luo Tianxue rolled her eyes at him. “Lu Dongcheng isn’t as childish as you.” “I’m childish? I’m so mature and charming…”

Without waiting for Lu Qinshang to finish speaking, Lin Qingqian raised her hand to interrupt him, then pulled her arm out of Luo Tianxue’s hand.

“The two of you can argue slowly. I won’t participate in your parties since you all already know how to have fun. I still have something to do, so I’ll leave first. ”

“Wait.” Luo Tianxue pulled her back, “What’s the matter?”

Lu Qinshang also looked at her curiously.

Both of them stared at her, as if they were not going to let her go until she told the truth.

Lin Qingqian sighed helplessly. “I’m going to participate in a charity auction.”

Luo Tianxue was even more curious, “Charity auction? Qingqian, you have too much money to spend?”

Lin Qingqian: “…No.”

What a heart-wrenching statement!

Lu Qinshang: “Then why are you going to the charity auction?”

Lin Qingqian was held back by the two of them so she had no choice but to tell them the truth.

Designer L has donated a male outfit to charity and it will be auctioned tonight.

The money from the auction would be donated to children with heart disease so that they could have money for surgery.

After finding out, Luo Tianxue and Lu Qinshang found it meaningful. Most importantly, they also wanted to see Designer L’s work.

Hence, the two of them decided to not attend the party and attend the charity auction with Lin Qingqian.

The auction venue was not far from the show venue. It was a mere twenty-minute anve.

When Lin Qingqian and the rest arrived, the auction was about to start and there were already many people sitting in the venue.

When Xu Wanlan, who was sitting in the first row, saw Lin Qingqian, she turned her head and whispered a few words to the person beside her. After a while, a man in a suit walked over and invited them to sit in the first row.

“Secretary Xu.” Lin Qingqian greeted her.

Xu Wanlan smiled. “I didn’t expect President Lin to be interested in doing charity at such a young age.”

Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. “I’m ashamed to say this. I came to see Designer L’s work. I heard that his work will be auctioned tonight.”

Xu Wanlan nodded. “Our President has always had the habit of doing charity. He hopes that he can help more people this way.”

Lin Qingqian’s admiration for L increased. “He must be a kind and gentle person.”

Xu Wanlan smiled. The emcee on stage walked to the microphone and began tonight’s charity auction.

The first few pieces were all jewelry, and there were also some calligraphy paintings. They were bought one after another at a low price.

Luo Tianxue and Lu Qinshang were about to fall asleep when the staff finally pushed out an exhibition cabinet.

There was a black suit jacket hanging in the transparent glass cabinet. It looked no different from an ordinary suit, but the designer was said to have taken three months to make it.

Both the needlework and the cufflinks had been done in the most unique way. There was no way for it to be imitated by machines or people.

Lin Qingqian’s calm eyes lit up when she saw the suit.

These were the clothes that the Master had designed and personally made!!

The auctioneer first introduced Xu Wanlan and then the clothes. Soon, he announced the starting price of 100,000 yuan. Every bid thereafter was an increase of a further 100,000.

Lin Qingqian raised the first sign for tonight without hesitation.

Lu Qinshang stroked his chin. “The clothes look good, but spending hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy a piece of clothing is really painful.”

Luo Tianxue: “What do you know? This is called charity. Besides, are these clothes made by ordinary people? They were made by Master L!” Lu Qinshang glared at her as if mocking her lack of knowledge.

In retaliation, Luo Tianxue raised her chin. “It’s necessary.”

Lu Qinshang:

While the two of them were bickering, two people had already raised their cards and drove the bid to 400,000 yuan.

Lin Qingqian then raised her card for the third time. It was expensive, but it was worth it for her idol and charity.

A man in a black top hat raised his sign again—500,ooo.

Lin Qingqian’s hand that was holding the sign tightened involuntarily. Another bid would be 600,000 yuan.

Seeing that she was hesitating, Lu Qinshang turned his head and whispered, “Is your budget not enough? I can think of a way for you!”

Lin Qingqian turned in his direction and heard him say, “Call Ah Yan and say that you want to buy him clothes. I guarantee that I’ll be able to transfer money to you in minutes.”

Lin Qingqian rolled her eyes at him. “If you come up with such a bad idea again, I’ll make you walk the red carpet naked next time. Do you believe me?”

Lu Qinshang immediately shut up!

“700,000.” Luo Tianxue suddenly raised the sign.

Lin Qingqian and Lu Qinshang looked at her at the same time.

Lin Qingqian looked up at the clothes on the stage, her eyes filled with reluctance and struggle. She really wanted to buy them, but it was also true that she couldn’t afford them.

The person who had just raised the sign raised it again—800,ooo yuan.

When Luo Tianxue wanted to raise her card again, Lin Qingqian said indifferently, “If you raise it again, it will reach 900,000 yuan.”

“900,000 yuan it is.” Luo Tianxue said disapprovingly, “It’s not like I don’t have money.”

Lin Qingqian didn’t want to give her a blow, but she didn’t want to be detained by the auction house when she couldn’t swipe her card later. Therefore, she kindly reminded her, “It’s in British Pounds.”

Luo Tianxue came back to her senses immediately and took a deep breath. “How much is 900,000 Pounds?”

Lu Qinshang, who was enjoying the show, chuckled and said, “Not much, not much. Just over eight million yuan.”

“Pa!” The sign in Luo Tianxue’s hand broke. “I’m sorry to disrupt everyone.”

If she spent more than eight million yuan to buy a piece of clothing, she might lose her legs when she returned.

The auctioneer struck the hammer twice and was about to place it for the third time when someone raised the sign behind her— The auctioneer shouted excitedly, “900,000.”

There was an uproar. Everyone turned around at the same time to look at the person holding the sign.

The other party was in a very dark corner. The lighting was not good, so his facial features couldn’t be seen clearly.

The man who had been competing with Lin Qingqian held the sign and hesitated a few times before giving up.

Just like that, the item now belonged to an unknown person.

Lin Qingqian was a little disappointed. She stood up and greeted Xu Wanlan before leaving with Lu Qinshang and Luo Tianxue.

Lu Qinshang couldn’t help but tease, “It actually cost 8 million yuan to buy a piece of clothing. What kind of halfwit pea-brain would spend like this?”

Luo Tianxue rolled her eyes at him. “Maybe he just wants to do charity.”

After saying that, he comforted Lin Qingqian, “Qingqian, don’t be unhappy. I’ll treat you to a feast.”

Lin Qingqian moved the corners of her lips. “No need. I’m a little tired and want to go back to the hotel to rest.”

“No!” Luo Tianxue hugged her arm and wheedled, “I accompanied you to the charity auction and didn’t even attend the party. Just accompany me to eat something.”

Lin Qingqian really wanted to say that she hadn’t asked for her companionship, but in the end, she couldn’t resist her coaxing and pestering.

Lu Qinshang also wanted to freeload, but he was ruthlessly rejected by Luo Tianxue.

Luo Tianxue used the room card to unlock the room. As she turned on the lights, she said, “Qingqian, take a seat. I’ll go to the cafeteria to order food and get them to send it to the room for us to eat.”

Lin Qingqian was puzzled. “Can’t we just order food over the phone?”

Luo Tianxue rolled her eyes and smiled. “How can I tell if the food will taste good without seeing the pictures? I prefer to order in the cafeteria and eat in my room. Wait for me here.”

Just as she was about to close the door, she thought of something and turned around. “If you’re tired, go to bed and rest for a while.”

Lin Qingqian didn’t know what she was up to and couldn’t be bothered to guess. Thus, she walked to the sofa and sat down.

Due to the time difference and the fact that she had been busy with work recently, her entire body tense. At this moment, She finally able to relax a little. She leaned against the sofa and closed her eyes to rest, only to fall asleep unknowingly.

She was in a daze when she heard rustling sounds. It seemed like someone was talking. Right on the heels of that, she felt as if she was floating in the air.

She wanted to open her eyes, but she was too tired. Her eyelids couldn’t open, and she fell asleep again after a while.

Lin Qingqian woke up from her sleep. When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on a comfortable bed.

The curtains were not closed tightly, and a golden light shone out from the gap.

She slowly got up, and her muddled mind gradually cleared up. She looked down and saw that she was not wearing the clothes from yesterday, but… a man’s shirt.

Instantly, all the hairs on her body stood on end. Without thinking, she lifted the blanket and got out of bed. She did not even have time to put on her slippers before she pushed open the door.

“Luo Tian…”

Her voice stopped abruptly, and she was dumbfounded.

There were several foreign men sitting on the sofa in the living room, and Jiang Yanshen was sitting on the armchair opposite.

He was wearing a black shirt that was buttoned up to his neck. The cufflinks were neatly buttoned, accentuating the lines of his arm muscles.

The men looked at Lin Qingqian and then at Jiang Yanshen. Their blue eyes widened as if they had discovered something extraordinary.

Jiang Yanshen’s expression darkened when he saw her running out in just a shirt and shoes.

The meeting was adjourned, and everyone left immediately.

When there were only the two of them left in the room, Lin Qingqian’s mind was still in a daze.

Jiang Yanshen brought over a pair of slippers and placed them by her feet. “Put on your shoes.”

Lin Qingqian finally came back to her senses. “Where is this? Why am I here? And why are you here?”

“What happened last night?”

She remembered that she had fallen asleep in Luo Tianxue’s room..
