A smile touched Su Qing's crimson lips, and unlike his earlier gloom, this one was real.
There was also a strange hint of... excitement?
His Adam's apple bobbed. For some reason, his voice grew low and raspy as he slowly responded.
"Mm."
He reached out, attempting to pull her in for a kiss.
But unfortunately for him, Su Ye was too quick.
The moment he agreed, she had already taken several steps back.
Her eyes curved into a smile.
"I'm heading downstairs."
Just before leaving, her gaze swept over Liu Xuanxuan, then flickered away with a casual, dismissive glance.
That smile pierced deep into Liu Xuanxuan's heart.
It was a blow that no amount of words could ever counter, leaving her utterly defeated in an instant.
Su Ye went downstairs and returned to her seat.
Xue Liang, who had been sitting beside her earlier, was gone.
Meanwhile, the auction for the Fire Ganoderma was beginning.
The auctioneer's voice rang out.
