“If I didn’t say this, you definitely wouldn’t have let me bid for it just now.” Nangong Xuyao smiled and said, “l understand you!’
“No, this is too precious. I can’t accept it.” Ye Xiyuan quickly rejected him.
“Brother Nangong, it’s fine if it’s an ordinary gift, but this really won’t work.”
“l bid for it to give it to you.” Nangong Xuyao’s attitude was a little forceful. “If you don’t accept it, then you’re looking down on this gift.”
Ye Xiyuan was a little anxious, but she didn’t know what to say. In the end, under Nangong Xuyao’s insistence, she still accepted the gift.
However, after accepting the gift, she emphasized, “Brother Nangong, I’ll accept this crown. However, don’t bid for anything else for me in the future. If you bid for something again, I will definitely not accept it.”
Nangong Xuyao couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Ye Xiyuan’s determined expression. He nodded. “Okay, I understand.”
Ye Xiyuan smiled faintly. Then, she picked up the crown and started to look at it. She looked like she really liked it.
Ye Xiyuan’s naturally gentle and unaffected appearance added a touch of indulgence to Nangong Xuyao’s gaze. Without further contemplation, he immediately spoke, “Xiyuan, do you have any plans for the third day of the
New Year?”
“The third day of the new year?” Ye Xiyuan blinked and didn’t answer directly.
Instead, she asked, “Brother Nangong, is there something going on?”
“On the third day of the new year, my mother is planning to hold a banquet,” Nangong Xuyao explained. “I want to invite you to be my partner. Are you free?”
Originally, he didn’t plan to invite Ye Xiyuan to this banquet. However, when he saw Ye Xiyuan’s innocent and kind appearance just now, some words slipped out of his mouth involuntarily. However, after he said it, he did not regret it. Instead, he felt that his decision was correct.
He genuinely liked Ye Xiyuan and saw a potential future with her. Therefore, taking this opportunity to attend the banquet with her was a way of signaling his intentions, a sort of foreshadowing of things to come.
“This…” Ye Xiyuan looked troubled. She didn’t immediately agree to Nangong Xuyao’s request but replied, “Brother Nangong, I still need to ask my father about this. I’ll give you an answer tomorrow, okay?”
She knew very well what it meant to be able to attend this banquet. At the same time, she knew very well that men would not cherish what was too easy to get. Therefore, no matter how happy she was, she could not show it at this moment.
At this moment, the system’s mechanical voice sounded again. “Mission: Attend the Nangong family’s banquet and win the favor of Nangong Xuyao’s mother. Once the mission is completed, you’ll get a reward of 100 points and an increase of two Intelligence points. If the mission fails, 10 Intelligence points will be deducted. Do you accept the mission?”
Upon hearing the task announced by the system, Ye Xiyuan immediately chose to accept it. Although she had some reservations about such unfair deals from the system, the current task was almost certain to succeed, so she naturally decided to accept it.
Nangong Xuyao wasn’t surprised by Ye Xiyuan’s answer. He reached out and flicked Ye Xiyuan’s nose. He smiled and said, “Then I’ll wait for your answer.” Such an intimate action made Ye Xiyuan’s cheeks blush involuntarily.
On the other side, Ye Lengan was still waiting impatiently for the appearance of the Seven Star Flower. However, whether due to the flower’s rarity or for some other reason, it was surprisingly scheduled to appear later. So, she could only continue to wait.
At this moment, a bracelet was placed on the auction stage. It was impossible to tell what material the bracelet was made of, but the surface of the bracelet was embossed with complicated but orderly elegant patterns. The silver light was as gorgeous and beautiful as the starry sky. In the middle of the pattern, there were a few rubies inlaid as embellishments, making the entire bracelet seem much more high-end.
Many women at the auction had their eyes on this bracelet and were eager to bid.
After the bracelet was brought onto the stage, the auctioneer began to introduce it. “Ladies and gentlemen, the bracelet we are auctioning now has a very nice name. It’s called Passionate Love, It is said that this bracelet was specially made by an emperor in ancient Rome for his queen, which meant that he was deeply in love with the queen..”
