1987 Underground Auction in the Independent Continent



Ye Wangchuan smiled. He was handsome and unique, to begin with. His temperament was like the bright moon in the sky, and he was noble and outstanding without any impurities.

This smile was even more eye-catching.

He lowered his head slightly and his thin lips curled up. Pretending not to understand, he whispered, "What did I call you?"

Qiao Nian was frustrated by his teasing. She let go and looked up at him expressionlessly.

Ye Wangchuan looked at her even more intently and smiled. "God Qiao?"

Qiao Nian pursed her lips. Her eyes were dry. Her knuckles curled up slightly as she knocked on the table without saying anything.

Ye Wangchuan lowered his head and tapped her forehead lightly. In a good mood, he raised his eyebrows, smiled, and said, "I was just saying. If you don't like it, I won't say it anymore."

Qiao Nian was even more at a loss. She always did not know how to respond enthusiastically in this aspect, mainly because no one had taught her how to respond to someone like that.

"… It's not that I don't like it."

Ye Wangchuan looked at her with a smile.

Qiao Nian turned her head away, feeling depressed.

Fortunately, Ye Wangchuan could never figure out the girl's temper. He changed the topic back to the underground auction. "This underground auction will indeed auction off meat Ganoderma. Are you going?"

"What's the date?" Qiao Nian was still thinking.

Nan Tianyi called as they were talking.

Qiao Nian picked it up.

Nan Tianyi also told her about the underground auction. He wanted to buy the meat Ganoderma for Xie Tingyun and asked Qiao Nian if she had time to go with him that day.

Qiao Nian did not answer him immediately. Instead, she asked Ye Wangchuan if he was free. After confirming that he was free, she walked to the French window with her phone and told Nan Tianyi to make an appointment.

Qin Si couldn't stay at home alone, so he had to go too.

Three days later.

In the underground auction house of the Independent Continent.

This was Qiao Nian's first time here. The auction house was located on the Intercontinental Hotel's basement level. From the moment she got off the elevator, the security was extremely tight. Armed patrolmen could be seen everywhere. The verification along the way was also very high-tech.

Unless someone had an invitation, no one could barge in.

Qiao Nian followed Nan Tianyi and the others to the underground auction early. Before the auction began, someone especially led them into a small private room near the auction venue.

There was a sofa and a bar in the small private room. It was extremely ostentatious.

This was obviously not Nan Tianyi's first time here. He walked towards the circular sofa with familiarity and spoke to Qiao Nian and the others.

"The auction will only start later. Little Ye and Nian Nian, come and sit. We'll wait until the auction starts."

Ye Wangchuan walked over.

He was tall and had long legs. Even his reflection on the ground was long.

Unlike Qin Si who would occasionally look around, Ye Wangchuan looked straight ahead the entire time, as if he was very familiar with this underground auction house. He walked straight over and sat down.

Nan Tianyi had a very good impression of him. He turned around and called out to Qiao Nian, "Nian Nian, come and sit down."

"If you guys sit, I won't sit." As Qiao Nian spoke, she casually took out her phone and leaned against the bar, looking casual and uninhibited.

Qin Si was a chatterbox. With him around, the place would never have to worry about being cold. He could hold up the atmosphere alone.

In any case, the auction had yet to begin. Nan Tianyi told them the rules and why they had come to the auction today.
