Chapter 462 The Masked Good Girl Mistakenly Flirts with the Playboy Man 26
Ji Yanru was an extremely perceptive woman, and she instantly caught the fleeting change in Lin Yi's expression.
She smiled slightly, her tone gentle but sharp: "Little sister, in the antique world, no one wants to offend Master Yan. I am not challenging Master Yan out of emotion, but this jadeite raw stone is of great significance to our Ji family."
Her words seemed to be explaining to Lin Yi, but in fact, she was always observing Xie Yanci's reaction. These words were clearly meant for Xie Yanci.
Lin Yi's heart was filled with alarm bells, her intuition told her that the woman in front of her was no ordinary person.
Lin Yi suppressed her displeasure and said calmly but firmly, "I want this thing, and I set the price. Everything is my own will. I don't suspect Miss Ji of bidding maliciously, so Miss Ji doesn't need to explain."
Compared with Ji Yanru's mature and charming appearance, Lin Yi did seem much more immature. This gap gave her a sense of crisis, and she just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
Lin Yi gently pulled Xie Yanci's sleeve, her voice extremely gentle: "Hubby, I'm tired, let's go home."
She called the word "husband" very softly, but it carried a meaning of asserting sovereignty that could not be ignored. When Ji Yanru heard this, a flash of understanding flashed in her eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she laughed in her heart: It turns out that the little girl is jealous!
Xie Yanci was obviously very pleased with Lin Yi's address. He glanced at Ji Yanru who was standing in front of him and said calmly but without question: "Excuse me."
Ji Yanru did not argue, but gracefully stepped aside to make way, and just stretched out her hand to stop Boss Jin who was about to follow.
"Boss Jin, please be more tactful. The couple obviously don't want to be disturbed." Her tone was teasing yet polite.
Boss Jin was a perceptive person, and he naturally understood that Ji Yanru stopped him to discuss something. He stopped and asked directly, "Miss Ji, just say it."
Ji Yanru smiled slightly, with a serious tone: "Since Boss Jin is so straightforward, I will speak directly. The Ji family is planning to hold a jade exhibition in Yun City next month. In order to attract high-end players, a small auction will be held at the same time, which will include jade and cultural relics. I would like to ask Boss Jin to make a connection and invite Master Yan to serve as the cultural relics consultant for this auction."
Boss Jin was moved when he heard this. If Xie Yanci could serve as a consultant for the auction, the value of this auction would be greatly improved, and he might even be able to find some treasures through this opportunity.
However, he changed his mind and felt a little embarrassed because Xie Yanci had clearly stated before that this would be the last time he would help him identify antiques.
"Ms. Ji, I'm sure you know Master Yan's temper. I really can't help him." Boss Jin shook his head helplessly.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Ji Yanru's face. Although there are many masters of cultural relic appraisal, there are only a few who are as influential internationally as Xie Yanci.
She invited Xie Yanci to be a consultant not only to ensure the quality of the auction, but also to take this opportunity to expand the international influence of the Ji family. If Xie Yanci could attend, this exhibition would undoubtedly become a grand event in the antique world.
However, Boss Jin's refusal left her at a loss for a moment. She stood there, frowning, thinking about what to do next.
Just as Boss Jin was about to walk down the stairs, he suddenly stopped, looked back at Ji Yanru, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "Master Yan cares a lot about his wife, and his wife seems to have a special liking for jadeite rough stones. If there are high-quality jadeite rough stones for sale at the Ji family's exhibition, perhaps Master Yan can be invited."
When Ji Yanru heard this, a light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and her whole body seemed to be rejuvenated.
She walked gracefully to Boss Jin, smiled charmingly, and said with gratitude: "Thank you for your advice, Boss Jin. I will try my best to find the jadeite raw stones, but I will have to trouble Boss Jin to help pass a letter to Master Yan's wife. Our Ji family will remember this favor from Boss Jin."
Boss Jin's heart moved. Befriending the Ji family was undoubtedly a sure win for him. He nodded readily and said, "Then I will wait for good news from Miss Ji. But I can't guarantee whether Master Yan will go in the end."
Ji Yanru smiled slightly, with a firm tone in her voice: "Whether it succeeds or not, our Ji family will remember this favor from Boss Jin."
The two smiled at each other, shook hands and reached a tacit understanding.
On the other side, after Lin Yi and Xie Yanci got the jadeite raw stone, as soon as they got into the car, Lin Yi was pulled into Xie Yanci's arms.
"Scream a few more times and let me hear it." Xie Yanci took off their masks, with an ambiguous smile on his handsome face and his eyes full of pampering.
Lin Yi's heartbeat quickened, her cheeks flushed, and she asked hesitantly, "What's your name?"
Xie Yanci gently bit her earlobe, and said in a low and hoarse voice with a hint of temptation: "Husband."
Lin Yi's body trembled slightly, and her ears instantly turned pink. She pushed him away in shame and annoyance, muttering in a low voice: "You were the first to say that I was your wife, and I called me that just to play along with you, don't be a scoundrel!"
Xie Yanci raised his eyebrows, and gently stroked her jawline with his slender fingers, finally stopping at her lips, with a bit of teasing in his tone: "It's just a casual act, don't you want to make it real?"
Lin Yi was attracted by his deep eyes, her heart was beating like a drum, and she kissed his thin lips that she had coveted for a long time.
Xie Yanci was slightly startled, then he took the initiative and flexibly pried open her pearly teeth to grab more sweetness. His big hand slowly touched her waist, and the temperature of his fingertips woke Lin Yi up instantly.
Lin Yi hurriedly held Xie Yanci's hand, her voice a little flustered and shy: "No!"
Hearing this, Xie Yanci slightly distanced himself from her, his deep eyes were filled with intense desire, as if he wanted to devour her whole body. Lin Yi could read his restraint and displeasure from his eyes, and her heart tightened. She realized that she was the one who teased him first, but repeatedly stopped him from taking further action. Any man would probably feel annoyed, right?
She lowered her head guiltily, her voice as light as a mosquito's, with a hint of explanation: "My mother takes me for regular physical examinations to prevent me from messing around outside..."
Xie Yanci frowned slightly when he heard this, but it was not because he was angry with Lin Yi, but because he was dissatisfied with the excessive control of the Lin family. He sighed softly, lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on Lin Yi's forehead, and then whispered in her ear: "I'll let you go this time, don't seduce me like this next time."
His voice was low and hoarse, with a bit of helplessness and doting, as if he was suppressing his inner impulse. Lin Yi listened to his words, her cheeks instantly flushed, but a hint of sweetness rose in her heart. She leaned in Xie Yanci's arms, feeling the warmth and heartbeat from his chest, and a smile rose unconsciously at the corner of her mouth.
She knew that the man she chose was indeed the right one.
