She understood Yin Shaojie's personality thoroughly. He was someone who had to win and would absolutely continue to bid.

William also had a similar personality. Thus, if they continued to bid, the price would skyrocket unimaginably.

Mu Xiaoxiao was terrified just by imagining this.

This was money they were talking about!

However, they weren't spending her money, so why should she feel pained for them?

Mu Xiaoxiao sighed. Feeling like she couldn't stay any longer, she pushed William's hand away and said a little angrily, "Both of you can continue playing if you feel like it. I can't stand it anymore; I'm getting out of here."

She rose and went out of the auction venue.

William and Yin Shaojie exchanged a very heated glance.

However, William didn't continue to bid anymore and instead rose and accompanied Xiaoxiao out of the venue.

"Okay, little baby, don't be angry anymore. I'll tell you something, okay?" William said from behind Mu Xiaoxiao.

"What?" Mu Xiaoxiao wasn't actually angry and had only wanted to lure him out.

William smiled as he looked at her and walked to stand in front of her. His large hand ruffled her hair as he said, "Actually, that necklace was not supposed to be auctioned because I'd already purchased it long ago. I saw it and I thought that it'd look good on you, and thinking that it was almost your birthday soon, I wanted to get it for you as a birthday present."

However, since he had brought her up to the cruise ship today, he changed his mind and took out the necklace to be auctioned.

Thus, no matter who bid the highest, he would bid an even higher price, for the necklace would end up in his hands anyway and he could increase the value of the necklace like this too.

Mu Xiaoxiao hadn't expected this to happen and asked, "Then, now what?"

William shrugged. "Since that guy wants to buy it for you, I'll just let him buy it. I can get you another gift."

Mu Xiaoxiao was moved by his thoughts. She reached out and hugged him. "William, you're so kind~" she said gently.

William liked to pat her on the head because it felt like petting an animal.

He felt an icy gaze on him and lifted his head to look. He noticed Yin Shaojie, who had already been there for an indeterminate amount of time, gazing at him jealously.

William's lips suddenly quirked upwards, a sinister snicker in his eyes.

"Alright baby, it's getting late. You should head to bed." William kissed Xiaoxiao on her face.

Yin Shaojie's gaze turned even sharper as though he was glaring daggers at him.

William deliberately shielded Xiaoxiao's view of him and looped an arm around her shoulders, accompanying her back to her room.

…

In the room, Mu Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa, swinging her legs all the while glancing at the door occasionally.

She didn't know where Yin Shaojie was going to sleep tonight or if he even had a room to sleep in.

She looked around this suite. It was extremely big — it wasn't just a bedroom. It had a master bedroom and a smaller bedroom, and even if he couldn't sleep in these two places, he could also always sleep on the sofa.

Oh, wait, Yin Shaojie didn't like to sleep on the sofa.

Mu Xiaoxiao sighed again, hesitating. Should she go out to look for him?

She had told him that she didn't want to see him earlier, but now that she couldn't see him, she began to worry about him again.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt like a pathetic loser who couldn't keep her word!

Actually, she believed that Yin Shaojie and An Zhixin didn't have anything going on between them and that what she had seen before was probably a misunderstanding.

However, she still wanted to hear a detailed explanation of what had happened from him.

Also, she wanted to know why he treated An Zhixin so specially.

Was it just because An Zhixin had stayed with him for a while when he had fainted seven years ago?

It was only a chance meeting, but he had remembered it for seven years.
