Unlike Su Tang's idea, Meng Huo did this not to make Meng Xiang give up.

It can be said that his purpose was exactly the opposite.

The more you can't get, the harder it is to let go. This is a common problem for many people.

Meng Xiang also has it, and it's quite serious.

You claim to be a favored child of heaven, but you cannot get what you want... Meng Huo showed a subtle mockery. Since you insist on coveting someone who doesn't belong to you, then you can experience the feeling!

They sat next to each other, with a coffee table between them. Su Tang, who sat on the outside, was carefully looking through the auction catalog, having forgotten the dark tides around her. For her, finding something useful to arm herself was much more important than scheming against others.

Suddenly, her hand that was turning the pages stopped and her eyes fell on a photo.

It was a pair of white jade earrings.

The texture of the jade is described as "mutton-fat jade", but it is hard to tell whether it is real or not just by looking at the photo. Although Su Tang felt that "this luster does not seem to be mutton-fat jade", what attracted her more was the pattern on the oval white jade fixed by the gold support. Although it was only a small piece, it looked very familiar, and she couldn't remember where she had seen it before!

"You like this?" Meng Huo glanced at the photo, a little surprised. He thought that with her personality, she would be interested in weapons, metals, or medicinal herbs or crystal cores. Unexpectedly, she was interested in a pair of earrings. "This thing, but because it was excavated from ancient ruins, it was given a name that can increase the success rate of promotion, just to bluff people."

Ancient ruins? Su Tang smiled, but he became more concerned.

As the whispers continued, the lights in the hall dimmed little by little, and people gradually quieted down. The auction was about to begin.

At this time, Lu Nuan's voice sounded, "Su Tang, can you sit next to me? I want to talk to you about something about my uncle."

Su Tang's expectation was interrupted and he felt a little unhappy.

The other party's tone seemed to be negotiating, but there was a kind of restrained toughness that made her feel uncomfortable. She did not move. "The auction is about to start, and it is not appropriate to chat. If it is about the boss, I will take time to go to the store to see him."

Lu Nuan hit a snag, and her voice turned cold, "Really? Forget it then."

Ignoring Meng Xiang's somewhat puzzled look, she sneered in her heart.

Really... I don't know how to show respect...

She is obviously very weak, but she puts on airs. The only thing she relies on is the man next to her!

In this regard, she underestimated her.

I thought it was just her pretty face that made Meng Xiang obsessed with her, but after just a few days of not seeing her, she and Meng Huo had developed to this point.

Lu Nuan felt inexplicably gloomy.

At first, she didn't pay attention to Meng Huo, a man, but focused her attention on Meng Xiang, who saved her and brought her back. But people are the most vulnerable to comparison. After the chance encounter in Jingge, she found that if she looked at Meng Xiang alone, he was indeed outstanding, but when put together with Meng Huo, he would be outdone.

Although Meng Huo tried to be low-key, she had seen many male superpowers in the Northern City and could tell which of them were truly powerful and which were just strong on the outside but weak on the inside. She believed in her own judgment. Meng Huo had the aura of a strong man, the kind of control that could stabilize the entire situation!

Although there were rumors that he was just a shapeshifter and couldn't compare to Meng Xiang, who had wind powers, in her opinion, the situation should be exactly the opposite. Meng Huo was definitely hiding his true strength!

After they met last time in Jingge, she would think of him from time to time, and this time when they met, the feeling was even more vivid.

Perhaps, she should reconsider her future partners. After all, Meng Xiang, who would act irrationally for a woman, is far less reliable than this man.

As for his relationship with Su Tang...

Lu Nuan raised her chin proudly as the host appeared on the auction stage and the crowd applauded. Would such a powerful man care about a woman who was easily available? No, he should have a broader future... and better choices!

She believed that as long as she put forward her chips, he would never refuse!

Her face became even more radiant because of this thought, and under the softened light, she exuded a dazzling beauty.

Meng Xiang turned his head by chance and was immediately attracted and couldn't take his eyes off.

If Su Tang knew all this, she would probably be very surprised, never expecting that the male protagonist has a tendency to turn his prodigal son back, but the female protagonist is running away on the road that is contrary to the original text!

However, she obviously didn't have time to pay attention.

The auction items that were constantly on display on the auction table were enough to attract her attention!

Whether it is weapons or crystal cores, the real objects are far more tempting than photos.

What should I do if I want to take everything into my pocket? !

Of course, she just looked at it with a covetous look. Even when Meng Huo, her "temporary lover", asked her if she wanted it, she was firmly rejected. Until the pair of earrings appeared in her sight...

The starting price of the earrings is five hundred third-level crystal cores. With an exchange rate of 50:1, it is only ten fourth-level crystal cores, which is the lowest among the auction items.

It was just a transitional item to pave the way for the **, and everyone knew it. This thing might be considered an antique before the end of the world, but after the end of the world, in addition to being artificially given a higher value, its actual function was just to enrich women's jewelry boxes.

There were only a few people bidding. When the price reached 700 level 3 crystal cores and the host called out twice, Su Tang resolutely pressed the bidding button at hand.

Then the host received the message on the stage, "Guest No. 73, 68 crystal cores!" But before he could shout it for the second time, the news that arrived the next moment made his eyes pause slightly, "Guest No. 68, crystal cores!" Number was Meng Xiang's number.

Instantly, Su Tang and Meng Huo turned their eyes to Meng Xiang, but unexpectedly, he also frowned slightly and looked to the side. At this time, they realized that the other person who pressed the bidding button was Lu Nuan!

"Hey? Su Tang, do you like this pair of earrings too? What a coincidence, I..."

Before she could finish, Su Tang pressed the bidding button again.

"Guest No. 73, eight hundred and fifty crystal cores!"

It wasn't that she was mean-spirited. If she listened to Lu Nuan's slow and useless explanation, the earrings would probably end up in her family. At that time, what would be the point of saying that she liked it and that she must get it?

Lu Nuan glanced at her, glanced at Meng Huo, and suddenly smiled, "Sorry, I really like it. Then we have to rely on our own abilities."

The host below received the news and suddenly became a little excited. "Guest No. 68 bid twenty fourth-level crystal cores! He really has a discerning eye for the real thing. This pair of earrings is not only made of top-quality jade, but also..."

As he praised, there was a murmur from the audience.

"Can this thing really help me advance?"

"No way, there were similar things in previous years, they were just ornaments!"

"But this year is different. Didn't you see that the guy from the bakery kept raising the price higher and higher? Are they willing to spend twenty fourth-level crystal cores just to buy a pair of earrings?!"

"Who knows? Maybe there are too many crystal cores and they are burned!"

"...Can you be more brainless?"

"How dare you say I have no brains! Take a picture of it if you can!"

"Am I crazy to argue with the people above me?"

"..."

Despite all the doubts, no one in the hall actually bid. And the price war in the same private room continued.

"Guest No. 73, twenty-one fourth-order crystal cores! This guest is so persistent in getting the earrings, which shows how tempting they are! Don't miss the opportunity, please..."

"Wait, the competitor is coming again! Guest No. 68, twenty-five fourth-level crystal cores!"

"Guest No. 73, twenty-six fourth-level crystal cores!"

"Guest No. 68, thirty fourth-level crystal cores!"

"..."

The price of the earrings soared in the hands of Su Tang and Lu Nuan!

Meng Huo was amused by what he saw. He was not worried that Su Tang would not be able to get it. Just like he said on the way here, with her current wealth, she could afford the most expensive one here, not to mention this pair of earrings. Besides, since he said he would pay for it, he naturally wouldn't care. But Su Tang's angry expression and stubborn attitude made him feel indescribably funny. It was the first time he saw her like this.

Compared to his leisure, Meng Xiang seemed impatient.

A pair of broken earrings...is it worth making such a fuss?

Women are indeed women!

But he could also see that both of them were really attracted to the earrings.

Trouble!

Logically, he should have helped Lu Nuan get it, and the relationship between the two would definitely be closer. But in this case, Su Tang, who bid first, would definitely be very annoyed with him. Thinking of her angry face, he couldn't help but snort secretly.

Does this girl think he will give up because of Meng Huo?

What a joke!

Not only did he want to get her, he also wanted her to willingly admit that he was much better than Meng Huo!

Thinking of this, he came up with an idea. He stepped out of the private room and went to find the waiter on this floor.

Although the two women were bidding fiercely, everyone saw his movements. No one was stupid. What else could he go out for at this time except for the earrings?

There was a hint of anger between Su Tang's brows.

She felt that she was wrong. Even if Meng Liangguang did not allow Meng Xiang to interfere in the auction, as the young city lord, he must still have certain privileges!

Needless to say, she will definitely not be the one who benefits in the end!

The bidder in his hand placed the order, and the price suddenly rose to a high level. "Customer No. 73, two fifth-level crystal cores!"

The atmosphere off the field has begun to boil.

Lu Nuan had a smile on her lips. Meng Xiang's actions finally put her mind at ease. It was quite stressful for her to bid for the pair of earrings in a tycoon-like manner. She could afford the current number of crystal cores, but to be honest, it was almost like cutting off her own flesh. After all, although her father was the Lord of the Northern City, she was not favored, so she could only get too little, which was far from being in line with her status. Otherwise, she would not have accepted her uncle's crystal cores and stayed in that small furniture store.

If that stupid woman over there continues to raise the price, the result... is hard to say.

She didn't want to think that she couldn't compete with Su Tang, and only thought that she was squandering Meng Huo's favor.

I couldn't help but bite my lower lip.

In fact, the bidding for these earrings, which would cost a lot of money, was not a spur of the moment decision.

It was a wonderful intuition. As soon as she saw it, she realized that it should belong to her!

When Meng Xiang came back, Lu Nuan had already raised the price to two fifth-level crystal cores and fifty fourth-level crystal cores under pressure. At the auction stage, the host had to announce, "Because the owner of the earrings temporarily took it back, it was decided after negotiation that this auction is invalid!"

The audience was in an uproar.

This kind of thing does happen, but it is definitely rare.

It's the most hateful thing that you are about to have an orgasm but have a miscarriage, okay?

Su Tang in the private room stood up and turned to Meng Xiang, "It was you who did this!"

Meng Xiang sat back in his seat with a half-smile on his face, "So what? It depends on one's ability, isn't it? Since Nuan Nuan wants that pair of earrings, I will naturally serve you." His eyes swept over Meng Huo, whose expression remained unchanged, and he secretly sneered in his heart. Then he looked back at Su Tang's face and said proudly, "Some things, some things, cannot be obtained by having a crystal core. Think about it carefully!"

Don't think clearly! It's just using your power to suppress others!

Su Tang pursed her lips, her eyes flashing fiercely. She sat down slowly, but her hand reached into her pocket.

A powerful big hand hijacked her small hand and grasped it tightly in its palm.

Meng Huo tilted his head and whispered in her ear, "Be patient."

She tried to pull her hand away stubbornly, but the man refused to let go. Finally, she could only sigh, "I promise..." I promise that what you want will eventually be yours.

Su Tang took a few deep breaths before letting go of his strength.

Trust him again. If he can't do it, don't blame her for doing it herself. Whoever's son or brother he is, she's had enough! Don't think she's easy to bully. If she can't cure someone alive, can she kill him? She would rather step into the vast world outside the city alone than stay here and be manipulated by others!

While she was angry, Meng Huo smiled, stretched out his hands a few times, and almost couldn't help but hold her in his arms.

How can it be so cute?

It completely broke his usual perception of women.

He would never see in her impotent weakness, cowardly endurance, or arrogant arrogance and concealed vanity.

What we have is independence, frankness, and unpretentious truth.

He seemed to be really moved...

On the auction table, the items that continued to be auctioned quickly attracted most people's attention, and the turmoil caused by the aborted auction of the earrings soon passed.

Only the four people in this private room, with their own different thoughts, became somewhat careless.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door.

The auctioneer sent a brocade box, inside of which was the pair of earrings that were being auctioned.

Meng Xiang held the box, his pride almost beyond words.

He was so childish that he didn't give it to the anxious Lu Nuan right away, but waved it in front of Meng Huo and Su Tang. "It looks ordinary. I don't know what you women are thinking. What's the point of fighting for such a thing?"

Su Tang was too lazy to pay attention to him and just looked at Meng Huo.

I will remain calm, but what about your promise?

Meng Huo smiled slightly and stretched out his hand, "Although I didn't take the picture, do you mind letting me see it?"

"of course not!"

Meng Huo took the brocade box in his hand, took out a pair of earrings from it, placed them in his palm, and examined them carefully. "The jade looks good, but it's a little small."

The other three were all confused.

Especially Su Tang, you can't think of it as mine no matter how you look at it!

However, in the next moment, Meng Huo's hand suddenly tightened. Su Tang was stunned and even saw the veins in his wrist bulging!

Meng Xiang stood up suddenly, and Lu Nuan screamed, "What are you doing?!"

Faced with this scene, Meng Huo raised the corners of his lips, opened his hands slowly, and a piece of powder lay in his palm.

He blew it gently, then raised his head and looked at the two people without sincerity, "Too bad, I used too much force, it was a bit too big."
