Chapter 37: No Entry Without an Invitation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Uncle Zhang deliberately placed Qi Yuan’s food beside Shen Yutang.

Qi Yuan looked at Uncle Zhang, who was trying his best to matchmake her with Shen Yutang before sitting beside him.

Actually, there was nothing to avoid.

Shen Yutang was still the same Shen Yutang.

As long as she didn’t think too much about it, she would keep her distance as peacefully as she had in her previous life.

Neither of them spoke but the atmosphere was peaceful.

Before Qi Yuan finished eating, she received the news of Qi Boyuan’s divorce.

She went online to take a look. Indeed, the news of Qi Boyuan and Xu Ling’s divorce was everywhere.

Qi Boyuan was really fast. Qi Yuan wanted to know how Xu Ling was feeling now.

Since Qi Boyuan was divorced, according to the agreement, she would go to the Golden Jade Pavilion’s auction tomorrow.

Qi Yuan said to Shen Yutang, “Eldest Young Master, I’m going to attend an auction with the Qi family as the Young Madam of the Shen family tomorrow.”

Although it would not affect the Shen family, Qi Yuan still had to tell Shen Yutang.

Shen Yutang looked up and said, “You want me to accompany you?”

Qi Yuan was shocked. That was not what she meant. How could she have such unrealistic thoughts?

“No…” Qi Yuan opened her mouth to refuse, but she suddenly remembered the troublesome consequences of rejecting Shen Yutang time and time again.” Although I want you to go with me, I don’t dare to disturb you.”

Shen Yutang frowned slightly and stopped asking this question.

Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, Shen Yutang pushed a card over. “Take a photo of whatever you like.”

Qi Yuan looked at Shen Yutang’s unlimited supplementary credit card and her heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly said, “No… no need for money. I’m just going to the auction to take a look…”

Shen Yutang did not speak and looked at Qi Yuan with a dark expression.

Qi Yuan then reluctantly kept the card away.

If she had to choose between money or person,

she would choose money.

Sometimes, when she thought about it, Qi Yuan really didn’t know what Shen Yutang wanted from her. He didn’t seem to be after her feelings nor her body. Could it be that he wanted to treat her like a domestic kitten and raise her happily?

Qi Yuan, who had never had a pet, did not understand this kind of feeling.

… .

The next day.

Qi Yuan went to the dressing room and chose a less glamorous gown to wear.

It was a little cold today. Qi Yuan, who had just recovered from her illness, was unwilling to be exposed to the cold wind. She had put on a black coat and a hat that covered most of her face before going out.

At the Golden Jade Tower’s auction venue.

The waiter at the door asked politely, “Hello, please show me your invitation.”

Qi Yuan shook her head. “I don’t have an invitation.”

In her previous life, Qi Yuan had never participated in an auction of this scale and did not know that she had to be invited in order to be granted entry.

Yesterday, Qi Boyuan only asked her to come and did not mention the invitation.

Qi Yuan was neither angry at being stopped, nor did she plan to leave. She just sat in the resting area of the outer court, planning to go in together when Qi Boyuan arrived.

Perhaps Qi Yuan’s aura was just too elegant. Even though she was wearing a coat and a wide-brimmed hat, revealing only half of her face, many women looked at her jealously.

It was inevitable for women to be hostile to those whose beauty appeared to be superior, especially on an occasion like today. No woman wanted to be inferior.

Before long, someone chuckled and teased..

“If you don’t have an invitation, why would you come to the Golden Jade Tower!”

“Not just anyone can get in here. If you can’t get in, why stand in the doorway? What an eyesore.”

“Perhaps there’s a woman from somewhere who wants to climb up the social ladder. She knows that the people at the auction today are either rich or noble so she wants to sneak in and get close to the rich.”

Song Ziqian and Qi Yanran arrived together and saw Qi Yuan being made a fool of.

Song Ziqian instinctively took two steps forward.

Qi Yanran’s expression changed. She reached out to hold Song Ziqian’s hand and said with an aggrieved expression, “Brother Ziqian, are you going to abandon me and find Qi Yuan?”

Song Ziqian stopped in his tracks and looked at the aggrieved Qi Yanran. He said gently, “How can that be? Yanran, I’ll protect you forever. It’s just that she’s attending the auction with Uncle so I can’t let her be too embarrassed.”

Song Ziqian did not know what was wrong with him.

He should have hated Qi Yuan for what happened in the fire and the café yesterday, but he couldn’t bring himself to hate her.

On the contrary, these days, the figures of Qi Yuan would appear in his mind from time to time.

Song Ziqian felt that he was not to blame. If anyone was to blame, it was Qi Yuan’s face. It was too bewitching.

Qi Yanran saw Song Ziqian’s gaze and knew what he was thinking. In the past, Song Ziqian only looked at Qi Yuan with disgust, but now, Song Ziqian’s evasive gaze explained everything.

Qi Yanran hated him in her heart. He was a good-for-nothing who couldn’t do anything right. She asked him to make a live broadcast to plot against Qi Yuan, but in the end, he didn’t manage to plot against her at all. Instead, he was seduced by that vixen Qi Yuan.

This would not do. It had not been easy for her to trick Song Ziqian into obeying her all these years.

She had to think of something…

Qi Yuan did not notice Song Ziqian and Qi Yanran. She sat elegantly as if she was unperturbed by the situation and did not bother to fit in with the surrounding people. She simply did not care about the mockery around her. After all, she had heard words way worse in her previous life.

Suddenly, someone approached and reached out to lift Qi Yuan’s hat.

Qi Yuan narrowed her eyes and looked over with hostility.

A man in black cargo pants stood there. He had bronze skin, close-cropped hair, strong angular jaw, and a blue stud in his right ear. He looked the kind of cool that could make young girls scream.

Qi Yuan’s narrowed eyes widened, and the hostility dissipated.

The man smiled. “It really is you, little one. Do you want to go into the Golden Jade House? I’ll show you the way.”

Qi Yuan also said in surprise, “Junshan, why are you here?”

Jun Shan was the god of the old city. Qi Yuan did not expect to meet him here.

Jun Shan smiled brightly and said, “By the way, I don’t think I’ve told you before. I’m from the Jun family in Jingdu. I came here today to bid for something.”

Because of Old City District unit 32, Qi Yuan was closer to this man than any other person present.

They were like neighbors.

She knew about the Jun family of the capital, but she did not expect Jun Shan to be a family member of the family that had control over both legal and illegal businesses.

Seeing Qi Yuan’s surprised expression, Jun Shan knocked on Qi Yuan’s head. “You’re getting more and more outstanding. No wonder when I said that Old City District unit 32 was mine two days ago, everyone in the Old City District is saying that my old tree is blooming.”

Even though Qi Yuan was knocked on the head, she did not get angry.

Instead, she came to a realization. She had wondered why the people in the old city had looked at her like she was one of them. They had even greeted her warmly…

At this moment, both the onlookers and those who had mocked Qi Yuan shut up.

Firstly, they did not dare to scold the Jun family.

Secondly, no one had expected this woman who had no invitation, to be so beautiful.

Her palm-sized face was like it had been carefully carved by a master while her eyes were slightly cold and filled with emotions. Her nose bridge was high, and her lips were like pink cherry blossoms. She had a delicate look that made people want to protect her, but she also had an extremely beautiful coldness.

Even though she was wearing a black coat, it looked like she was wearing a phoenix robe.

Song Ziqian, who was beside Qi Yanran, couldn’t hold it in anymore. Seeing that another man had appeared and Qi Yuan’s attitude was so good, Song Ziqian felt like he had been cuckolded. He couldn’t tolerate it at all.

Why should she be so rude to him but so friendly to another man?

She clearly liked him!

Song Ziqian unconsciously let go of Qi Yanran’s hand. He took two steps forward and stood between Qi Yuan and Jun Shan. He said to Qi Yuan, “Qi Yuan, come over. I’ll bring you in.”

Song Ziqian was too close. Qi Yuan frowned and took a step back.

Sensing Qi Yuan’s disgust, Jun Shan placed a hand on Song Ziqian’s shoulder and said coldly, “Who are you? Didn’t your elders teach you that it’s very rude to interrupt someone’s conversation?”

Song Ziqian had always been praised as a young talent, but in front of Jun Shan, his aura was directly suppressed.

It was as if Jun Shan directly took out a gun and said that he would shoot him if he continued talking nonsense.

Compared to Junshan, Song Ziqian was extremely weak.

Suddenly, the woman who could not enter the Golden Jade Pavilion earlier on was now the center of attention between the two men.

The surrounding women could only look on enviously.

At this moment, a noble and cold voice came along with the sound of a wheelchair. “Can’t the wife of Shen Yuzhi enter this Golden Jade Pavilion?”

Qi Yuan turned her head around sharply.
