Chapter 175: Li Sha Company
The host seemed to communicate with someone, then smiled and said, “Esteemed guest. The seller has directly auctioned the Pearl to you. Please pay for the item you previously auctioned along with the price of this auction, leave your contact information and passport, and await news. You will receive the bracelet you previously auctioned, but the Pearl will require you to meet the seller with Li Ren jewelry for exchange.”
After the host finished speaking, the disappointment and helplessness in the eyes of those present were evident.
Since the Pearl was secured, Yin Lingchen and Mu Qingyi had no reason to stay any longer. However, Mu Qingyi felt some regret. If he had known Han Wuyu would be there, he wouldn’t have brought Yin Lingyan. Would that mean he would have to watch the person he liked show affection to another man? Han Wuyu’s visit to America this time was partly for the Pearl, and partly, he suspected, because of Yin Lingyan.
However, after leaving the auction, Yin Lingchen hurriedly pulled Yin Lingyan and Mu Qingyi away. By the time Han Wuyu completed the transaction, the three of them had already vanished.
He stared blankly at the bracelet in his hand; this was what he had wanted to give her. Han Wuyu forced a bitter smile, looking at the ring on his finger, and felt a suffocating pain once more.
Gu Xiaoyou accompanied Han Wuyu back to the hotel. After Han Wuyu left, he had captured the hearts of many young girls, and the following days were anything but peaceful, which was something he hadn’t anticipated.
Yin Lingyan knew Yin Lingchen acted that way out of concern for her, but Mu Qingyi didn’t. She shook her head helplessly. Did she look like a fragile person? Still, it was for the best; at least it wouldn’t be too awkward. Han Wuyu, oh Han Wuyu, although I still can’t forget you, all things must pass with time. When one day I react to you with any emotion, that’s when I’ll know I’ve truly let go.
The day passed just like that. It was past eleven when she returned home. Yin Lingyan took a hot bath. She had expected to fall asleep immediately after such a tiring day, but she tossed and turned, unable to sleep at all. Her mind was still filled with that dark figure and his words.
I like your voice, your laugh, your eyes, your brows. I can’t forget.
She scratched her head in frustration, almost going crazy. “Yin Lingyan, you big idiot, go to sleep.” She tried to hypnotize herself, and slowly, she actually fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Han Wuyu had been awake all night. The Heart of the King lay in his palm. Staring at the Heart of the King, such a small object had cruelly torn him and her apart. It had cost him so much; was it worth it or not? “Tell me, how can this little thing have such great power to cruelly tear us apart?”
As he thought, Han Wuyu spoke, his voice weak and fragile.
Gu Xiaoyou saw Han Wuyu’s demeanor and heard his weak words. He wanted to speak but hesitated. He really wanted to say that he was the one who had torn them apart, that he lacked the courage to face it and didn’t have enough confidence.
He closed his eyes in pain. Gu Xiaoyou, sensing the mood, withdrew.
And so, each person, with different thoughts in their hearts, drifted off to dreamland.
The next day, Yin Lingyan was awakened by a commotion. She groggily sat up and looked. What did she see?
The television was on, with news everywhere. A large stack of newspapers lay there, along with two men locked in a confrontation. She didn’t know when Mu Qingyi had arrived, but she knew their expressions after seeing the newspapers and television.
