Chimu Jiu's face instantly flushed, resembling a ripe apple, her eyes filled with panic and shyness.
What am I afraid of? With a mask on, no one can recognize me. Besides, even if they do, does Miss Chi think I won't hold my own?
Du Hengyan's tone carried a hint of rebellious confidence.
Chimu Jiu struggled a few times but realized she couldn't break free, so she simply gave up and settled comfortably in his embrace.
However, the gazes of those below shifted from the exhibits on stage to the floor-to-ceiling windows. This position offered an excellent view, allowing them to clearly overlook the entire auction hall.
At this moment, though, Chimu Jiu felt exposed, as if she were being watched like a monkey in a zoo. A wave of embarrassment washed over her, leaving her unsure of how to react.
It feels like I'm being treated like a spectacle, she muttered softly.
Is my taste so poor that there's no privacy at all?
Du Hengyan gently held her hand, contemplating that next time he would definitely have his people remove that transparent glass.
At that moment, Ye Jue and Zhu Zhan paused at the door. Their steps seemed frozen as if under a spell, unable to move. They exchanged glances, and the atmosphere turned somewhat strange.
Staring at each other in silence, neither dared to speak first. The heavy silence felt as though it could condense into droplets of water.
Ye Jue was filled with confusion: Didn’t they say there were guests? Why is he here too? Are we looking for the same guest? This is too coincidental.
Zhu Zhan was also puzzled: Why is this little Ye standing there motionless? What is he thinking? Is there something surprising inside?
"Are you also here as a guest?" Ye Jue broke the silence first, his voice tinged with uncertainty.
"You too?" Zhu Zhan responded immediately, his tone full of doubt.
They nodded in succession, their gazes converging as they saw mutual confusion and surprise reflected in each other's eyes.
Just then, the door to the room behind the floor-to-ceiling windows slowly opened.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
Before Ye Jue and Zhu Zhan could finish their sentences, their attention was drawn to the scene inside the room.
On the sofa, a broad-shouldered man was holding a petite woman in his arms.
Ye Jue was astonished, unable to believe what she was seeing.
Zhu Tan stood there with his mouth agape, rendered speechless by the surprise.
Chi Mu Jiu was taken aback by this sudden situation, unsure of how to react.
The entire room felt as if it had been muted, the air thick with an oppressive silence. Time seemed to come to a standstill as everyone froze in this awkward moment.
Chi Mu Jiu observed the two newcomers showing an unusual respect towards Du Heng and felt a hint of suspicion. Breaking the silence, she asked, "Do you know each other?"
