The Wealthy and Influential Fiancé Has the Ability to Read Minds
Chapter 41
Seeing that Ye Shuyan had no intention of letting her go, Tang Nuan pulled out a big trick. I just crushed a cockroach with this hand, and it made a ‘pop’ sound and burst out… the sensation was sticky… I wonder if Brother Shuyan minds.
Ye Shuyan froze and subconsciously let go of her hand.
Tang Nuan took the opportunity to retract her hand, but before she could feel triumphant, she realized she might have imagined it too vividly, and now felt as if she had crushed a cockroach to death. She couldn’t bear to look at her fingers, so disgusting!
After trying to calm herself down for a while but still unable to shake off that feeling, she couldn’t stand it anymore, so she had to get up again and go to the bathroom to wash her hands.
Ye Shuyan was both amused and helpless. This woman…
When Tang Nuan returned, Ye Shuyan finally didn’t make any trouble, but Mrs. Ren in the back seat hadn’t quieted down yet.
Probably because she was mocked for “not being beautiful” and was shown affection in return, she was very upset. When the auction started, she held the catalog of the auction items and said to Mr. Ren in a coquettish voice, “Honey, I want this jewelry, can you bid for it for me? This, this, and this, they are all so beautiful.”
It seemed like she was acting coquettishly with Mr. Ren, but she was speaking in Tang Nuan’s direction, blatantly provoking her. Tang Nuan secretly rolled her eyes. Did she think she was stupid?
The Ye family was, after all, the richest. Who here could match Ye Shuyan’s financial power? If she wanted to bid for something, there would be nothing she couldn’t get. This woman thought she could provoke Tang Nuan into wasting money.
But if the other party wanted to play with her, wouldn’t it be a bit rude not to play along with her? Tang Nuan rolled her eyes as she came up with an idea.
When the auction started, the first item was a diamond brooch. The diamond was average in size, but the design was exquisite. As soon as the auctioneer finished introducing the item, Tang Nuan raised her sign.
As expected, Mrs. Ren followed suit immediately, raising the bid by 100,000 yuan.
Tang Nuan turned back and glared at her, gritted her teeth, and raised the bid by another 100,000 yuan. Mrs. Ren, smiling, raised the bid by another 200,000 yuan.
Just as Tang Nuan was about to put down the sign pretending to be depressed, Ye Shuyan suddenly came over and whispered in her ear, “Raise it by another 200,000.”
Tang Nuan was stunned for a moment but quickly realized that Mrs. Ren was within three meters of Ye Shuyan, allowing him to hear her thoughts!
Elated, Tang Nuan immediately followed Ye Shuyan’s suggestion and raised the bid by 200,000 yuan. As expected, Mrs. Ren increased the bid by another 100,000 yuan.
Tang Nuan glanced at Ye Shuyan, who shook his head slightly, and Tang Nuan lowered her sign with a disappointed expression on her face.
The auctioneer began to call for final bids. Mrs. Ren didn’t expect that she had messed up, as she didn’t like the brooch. She hurriedly tried to provoke Tang Nuan again, “Oh, Miss Tang isn’t bidding anymore? Don’t you like it?”
“I do like it,” Tang Nuan said, turning to look at Mrs. Ren.
Mrs. Ren didn’t have time to be happy when she saw Tang Nuan pout pitifully and say, “But it’s too expensive, I can’t afford it.” She then looked at Mrs. Ren with envy, “Mrs. Ren, you’re really rich.”
Mrs. Ren: …
Ye Shuyan: …
Was she insulting him?
Mrs. Ren realized she had been played and was extremely angry. Although one or two million wasn’t much for the Ren family, it was still very annoying!
Tang Nuan instinctively felt that Mrs. Ren wouldn’t give up and reached out to ask Ye Shuyan for the auction catalog.
Ye Shuyan didn’t give it to her and said calmly, “Can’t afford it?”
Tang Nuan smiled awkwardly, glanced subtly at Mrs. Ren in the back seat, and leaned in to whisper in his ear, “I was just teasing her.”
“Give it to me quickly!” she said as she tugged on Ye Shuyan’s sleeve.
The sweet scent around his ear seemed to linger, and Ye Shuyan’s gaze fell on her slender fingers as she snatched the catalog from his hand.
Tang Nuan eagerly flipped through the catalog, smiling like a fox that had just stolen a hen. She then pointed to a limited-edition bag, glanced warily at Mrs. Ren, and “sneakily” showed it to Ye Shuyan, “I want this one.”
Mrs. Ren saw Tang Nuan’s mysterious behavior, and it took some effort to find what Tang Nuan wanted from the little content she saw and the catalog in her hand.
So, when the limited-edition bag came up for auction, Mrs. Ren directly added one million to the bid as soon as the auctioneer finished introducing it. She was determined to make Tang Nuan suffer the same loss to feel content.
Seeing Tang Nuan’s shocked expression, Mrs. Ren finally felt satisfied, “I quite like this bag. Miss Tang, do you like it too?”
Tang Nuan nodded, with a fierce fighting spirit in her eyes. Mrs. Ren smiled slightly at this sight, thinking that no matter how much Tang Nuan increased the bid, she would no longer bid higher.
But after waiting for a long time, she didn’t see Tang Nuan raise her sign.
The auctioneer began to call for final bids, and Mrs. Ren couldn’t help but ask, “Don’t you want it?”
Tang Nuan looked pitifully envious, “I wish I could, but I can’t afford it. Good luck, Mrs. Ren.”
Mrs. Ren: …
Ye Shuyan, unable to tolerate it any longer, turned his head to her. “You little ingrate, there’s a limit to distinguishing between friend and foe.”
After spending three or four million yuan in vain, Mrs. Ren finally calmed down under Mr. Ren’s comfort.
Tang Nuan looked at Ye Shuyan with bright eyes, and Ye Shuyan, seeing her expression, snorted coldly.
When the next set of jewelry was introduced, Ye Shuyan casually told Tang Nuan to raise her sign.
Tang Nuan was a bit stunned, hadn’t Mrs. Ren already admitted defeat? Wasn’t it unnecessary now?
However, Ye Shuyan insisted, “Raise it.”
Trusting him, Tang Nuan raised her sign. Mrs. Ren did not indeed raise hers, but a few others did. Ye Shuyan kept telling her to increase the bid, and though she didn’t understand his intention, she obediently followed his instructions.
Not until the auctioneer began to call for final bids, and the jewelry was about to be hers, Tang Nuan looked at Ye Shuyan in confusion.
Ye Shuyan looked down at her and said, “It’s rare to come here. We should win a few sets. Otherwise, people might really think I can’t afford it.”
Tang Nuan: !!!
“I don’t need it! The gifts chosen by Assistant Wen are already enough! Which fool would think you don’t have money? You’re a big shot! Don’t compete for pride in these strange places.”
However, Ye Shuyan’s mind-reading ability intermittently failed at this moment. Not only did he not hear her thoughts, but he also kept a long face and won two more sets of jewelry. Of course, Tang Nuan refused to raise the sign, so Ye Shuyan did it himself.
When he raised the sign, no one else competed with him, and he won them directly.
By the end of the auction, Tang Nuan’s heart was bleeding: Four million! Four million! She was in debt for another four million! Where is the justice?
Ye Shuyan, walking ahead, turned back and saw Tang Nuan trailing far behind, finally feeling satisfied, “Hurry up.”
Tang Nuan made a final desperate attempt, “Why not just send them directly to you? I don’t have space at home.”
Ye Shuyan, however, firmly led her to the VIP room.
A staff member came in with a jewelry box. “Mr. Ye.”
Ye Shuyan stepped forward to take it, “Thank you.” Then he beckoned at Tang Nuan.
Tang Nuan stared at the jewelry box with deep resentment, “Weren’t there three sets? Why look at them one by one?” The capitalist shouldn’t be squeezing people like this, right?
Ye Shuyan glanced at her and opened the box, and Tang Nuan’s attention was immediately drawn to it.
Since she hadn’t planned on buying anything, she had initially bid just to toy with Mrs. Ren and later felt burdened by the four-million debt, losing interest in the auction items. She hadn’t expected such a set of jewelry.
It was a set of Tahitian black pearl jewelry, including a hairpin, a pair of earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet.
The most remarkable piece was the hairpin with three thumb-sized black pearls, uniformly sized, colored, and shaped, with smaller pearls as accents. Despite its simple design, the peacock green luster unique to black pearls added a mysterious charm, making it very beautiful.
Ye Shuyan took out the hairpin and handed it to her, “Try it on.”
Tang Nuan was stunned for a moment, “Now?”
Ye Shuyan glanced at the hairpin on her head, and Tang Nuan suddenly remembered that this man had been dissatisfied with her jewelry choice today.
So, he bought this set just to make her change immediately? Tang Nuan looked at the golden South Sea pearl hairpin in the mirror and couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for it.
Despite both being pearl jewelry, Ye Shuyan showed a clear preference for the Tahitian pearls, which Tang Nuan also found more beautiful.
She stood in front of the mirror with the jewelry box. After removing her hairpin and a few hidden clips, she shook her head, letting her long, slightly wavy hair cascade down. Ye Shuyan was momentarily stunned by her beauty.
“How is it?” she asked.
Ye Shuyan couldn’t find the words. Her loose hair and the black pearls enhanced her charm, making her look like an enchanting sea spirit, deeply captivating him.
Ye Shuyan came back to his senses but was rendered speechless. How is it? She is so beautiful.
Her hair, naturally wavy, now cascaded down, making her face appear smaller. The black pearls added an air of mystery to her sexy and playful demeanor, like an enchanting sea spirit, deeply captivating him.
He had always known Tang Nuan was beautiful, but now her beauty seemed different, even more striking… A slight itchiness crept up his throat as he admired her.
Not getting a response from Ye Shuyan, Tang Nuan wrinkled her nose and turned back to change the rest of her jewelry. The earrings were easy to switch, but the necklace was a bit troublesome.
She should have changed the necklace first. Now, with her hair down, both removing and putting on the necklace were troublesome.
Tang Nuan swept her long hair to one side, fumbling with the necklace clasp. Suddenly, she felt her hands being gently moved aside by a pair of warm hands.
Uh, he wasn’t holding? More like moving her hands aside?
She withdrew her hands, absently touching the lingering warmth, thinking it must be an illusion…
Looking up, she saw the man behind her in the mirror. He was half a head taller, leaning down to unclasp her necklace. From this angle, he looked irresistibly sexy…
Ye Shuyan took a deep breath, “Don’t move!” His voice was imperceptibly hoarse.
Tang Nuan retorted, “I didn’t move!”
Ye Shuyan pressed her head down firmly.
Tang Nuan: …
She lowered her head and stared at the floor, thinking how it reminded her of playing with dolls as a child. If she couldn’t put on clothes, she would remove the doll’s head first, dress it, and then put the head back on.
Ye Shuyan, about to unfasten the clasp, was startled by her grim thought, and it slipped back.
Seeing Tang Nuan with her head hanging down like a ghost, he rubbed his forehead, took a deep breath, and tried again. Why are women’s accessories so complicated?
And that delicate neck, those smooth shoulders…
[Nam-mo Amitabha Buddha, Nam-mo Amitabha Buddha, form is emptiness, emptiness is form… all phenomena are empty of inherent existence; they are neither born nor destroyed, neither pure nor defiled, neither increasing nor decreasing…]
Ye Shuyan stared at the back of Tang Nuan’s head: …
Half a minute later, he calmly changed the necklace.
The author has something to say:
Tang Nuan VS President Ye – Tang Nuan wins!
President Ye: My fiancée sometimes looked like an enchanting sea spirit, sometimes like a female ghost, and finally she became a monk…
Sometimes I wanted to eat her, sometimes I felt a little disgusted with her, and finally, my heart was as hot (blood) as the (boiling) water.
