Beauty and the Bodyguard
chapter-526

“What’s wrong? You guys don’t trust us? Fatty Lai wondered after seeing their expressions.

“It’s not that we don’t trust you….” Haitian smiled wryly. “We’re just blown away, that’s all!”

“Ohh, is that so.” Fatty Lai truly thought they were blown away by the effect of their special edition injury medicine, not because of the coincidence. “There’s twenty bottles. Make the base bid price 500,000, please. Mr. Yu, you can handle the rest right?”

“Twenty bottles? Do you have the stock on hand?” Haitian’s eyes widened. Shock crossed his face.

“Uncle, what do you think?” Haitian was troubled and faced Shuixing for help.

“Hehe, let’s put it in the auction for tomorrow!” Shuixing smiled. “I think this medicine will cause a craze. 500,000 is too low, make it 1 million.”

“OK!” Haitian listened to his uncle’s decision and didn’t say more.

Fatty Lai did not see that coming. 1 million as the base bid price was good as long as it could be sold at a higher price. He placed the suitcase he was carrying on the table and said, “Here’s the special edition injury medicine. Please have a look and examine it, Mr. Yu. The description is written inside.”

Haitian was perplexed as he opened the suitcase. Were these supposed to be the special edition injury medicine? These lousy white plastic bottles… why did they look the same as the small bottles that contained spices?

“Th-This is the special edition?” Haitian couldn’t hold back the question in.

Haitian went speechless, but he still trusted Fatty Lai. The medicine should be effective. After giving it some thought, he nodded. “OK, I’ll go register this item.”

After chatting a little more with Fatty Lai, Xuemin, Fatty Lai and Lin Yi left the auction hall. Shuixing knew that he should get closer with people like Xuemin.

Besides, Miracle Doctor Guan’s medical company only produced extraordinary items!

After sending off Xuemin, Shuixing wanted to burst into laughter as he recalled that Miracle Doctor Kang wanted to use his Skin Beautifying Golden Creation to become a noble house! Normally, it would be more than enough! But, since Miracle Doctor Guan himself took out the same items, which were available at present, it made Miracle Doctor Kang’s 100 presale items seem like no big deal!

If Miracle Doctor Kang found out, he would surely break down into tears. He wanted to use the Skin Beautifying Golden Creation to connect with the other houses, but little did he know that Miracle Doctor Guan had the medicines available and ready to sell already. Who would want to buy his presale medicine?

“Uncle, today was a complicated day!” Haitian gave a sigh of relief.

“Hehe, it wasn’t that complicated. It’s just that House Kang isn’t qualified to become a noble house now,” Shuixing said. “House Kang’s last resort was nothing in the face of Miracle Doctor Guan!”

“I know, right? Then should we still put the Skin Beautifying Golden Creation in the auction tonight?” Haitian asked.

“Of course, why not?” Shuixing smiled. “It doesn’t affect anything. We’ll just let others buy it, whoever wants it.”

“True, we’re just helping them sell things in the auction; it’s not our fault if no one wants to buy.” Haitian nodded.

The second auction started that night.

Xiaoxiao called Lin Yi early in the morning, but Lin Yi didn’t have time to talk long, so he just asked about the whereabouts of Tianlong. After learning that Tianlong hadn’t returned home yet, he rejected Xiaoxiao’s invitation.

However, in the auction hall, it was impossible to avoid Xiaoxiao.

“Lin Yi!” Xiaoxiao was holding two drinks in her hand and ran over to Lin Yi, blushing as she remembered what happened yesterday.

“Nothing’s gone wrong, has it?” Lin Yi took the drink from Xiaoxiao’s hand. He had a weird relationship with Xiaoxiao, and Tianlong was involved too, which gave him a headache.

“Oh, I’m fine.” Xiaoxiao shook her head shyly, in huge contrast to her previous behavior.

Lin Yi was helpless against Xiaoxiao’s behavior. It could not be denied that he was a little moved by Xiaoxiao, but it was lust, not love.

Lin Yi thought that Xiaoxiao’s condition was bizarre. This was his first time witnessing such a mysterious disease.

“Xiaoxiao, we used to have some bad blood, but since I saved you yesterday…” Lin Yi went silent for a while and added, “I think we’re even, right?”

“Ah?” Xiaoxiao was taken aback. But she soon understood what he meant. Lin Yi hoped that she would stop seeking revenge. But did she… still want the revenge?

If Lin Yi didn’t mention it, Xiaoxiao wouldn’t have felt it. But since he had mentioned it, Xiaoxiao felt she didn’t hate Lin Yi that much anymore. The anger was disappearing; she didn’t want revenge anymore. It was complicated and she felt a mix of emotions.

Lin Yi had seen her naked, but he didn’t show any signs. Was he leaving it at that?

“We’d already resolved the problems between us, hadn’t we? Xiaoxiao decided and looked at Lin Yi strangely.

“Xiaoxiao, be honest with me, what do you want?” Lin Yi was unaffected by Xiaoxiao’s innocence.

“I… I like you, I-I want to be with you, nothing else….” Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Yi, hurt. “You wouldn’t not take responsibility, right….”

Lin Yi was speechless. He knew the best way to resolve it was to ignore her, since continuing the conversation wouldn’t lead to a conclusion.

Xiaoxiao wasn’t angry at Lin Yi ignoring her. She just flipped through the auction’s catalog.

The lights dimmed and two spotlights shined on the auction stage as Haitian walked out from the back and bowed gracefully. “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the second day of the second auction!”

Lin Yi showed no interest in most of the auction items. The items were antiques, celebrity dating vouchers, and some treasures.

Finally, the box that Lin Yi was interested came up. The drowsy Fatty Lai sat bolt upright with a thud.

Lin Yi thought it was funny. Fatty Lai really was an outstanding man. This worked too?

“Hey, Boss, watch this. It shouldn’t be a problem if no one’s fighting for it!” Fatty Lai guaranteed as he puffed out his chest.
