Chapter 172: Han Wuyu
Of course, Han Wuyu couldn’t have missed seeing Mu Qingyi and Yin Lingchen, but the figure that most captivated him was the one that haunted his dreams.
He had originally come for the Pearl, but he noticed her when Mu Qingyi started bidding. He had actually seen her the moment Yin Lingyan appeared. He could always spot her in a crowd at a glance, but Yin Lingyan was too stunned to pay attention to the people around her.
He hadn’t expected Mu Qingyi to bid, which was why he followed suit. He was inherently proud and disliked others giving her things. It was clear Mu Qingyi intended to give it to Yin Lingyan, so he spent a full two hundred million to auction it off.
Yin Lingchen switched seats with someone and sat next to Yin Lingyan, looking sternly at Mu Qingyi.
“Long time no see,” Yin Lingchen said, and upon hearing this, Yin Lingyan smiled. They were indeed siblings. The first thing he said when he saw Mu Qingyi was also “Long time no see.”
“Mm, long time no see.” After saying that, neither of them knew what else to say, and it was Yin Lingyan who broke the awkward silence.
“Hey~ Older brother, why didn’t you tell me you were coming here?” She looked at Yin Lingchen like a curious child.
Yin Lingchen couldn’t help but smile fondly at Yin Lingyan’s appearance, thinking she hadn’t been affected by Han Wuyu. He even pinched her cute little face, “You didn’t say you were coming here either, and you didn’t tell me you met Mu Qingyi?”
Yin Lingchen narrowed his eyes as he stared at her, his gaze carrying a hint of danger.
Yin Lingyan quietly stuck out her tongue and complained, “I wanted to tell you that day, but who knew you’d leave a letter and fly off to China? Tell me, did you go to see Qingran?”
This was truly an injustice to Yin Lingchen. After talking with Han Wuyu that night, he forcefully held back from calling her and rushed back without stopping.
However, this was something he definitely couldn’t say. “Mm.” So Yin Lingchen could only feign a nod. This was the kindest lie, forgive me, sister.
Mu Qingyi naturally knew that Yin Lingchen hadn’t gone to see Qingran at all; it must have been something related to the Gang. They had been separated for a long time. He hadn’t fulfilled his duty to protect the Heart of the King and had entrusted the heavy responsibility to Yin Lingchen, which made him feel somewhat guilty.
Therefore, he had decided that when Yin Lingyan returned to the country, he should also return. He didn’t want to be a coward anymore, to be a timid person. If he loved, he loved; if he didn’t, he didn’t. What was the big deal?
………………………………………………
The small interlude passed, and the host excitedly introduced the second item. The second item was a headdress. The headdress looked incredibly intricate but was very beautiful. Yin Lingyan lost interest after a glance. She remembered Han Wuyu had given her a hairpin before; although that hairpin was simple, she had really liked it, but she couldn’t find it （. She didn’t know where it went after Han Wuyu took it away. ）
The second item clearly didn’t reach the same climax as the first, causing the audience to lose interest. The host smiled, “The item we are auctioning now is the theme of today, the Pearl.”
After the words “the Pearl” landed, Yin Lingyan clearly felt the gazes around her light up. Han Wuyu, Mu Qingyi, and Yin Lingchen all looked with heavy hearts at these gazes. Most of these people were Chinese, and they looked like they were from ****. Otherwise, the Pearl would be useless.
Their mindset was: since they couldn’t find the Heart of the King, they would use the Pearl to lure it. They refused to believe that the Heart of the King wouldn’t be called the King without the Pearl.
