Nian Xiaomu’s shoulders fidgeted uneasily.

She could not see what she looked like at the moment and could only feel his gaze; it scorched her skin inch by inch, just like a burning touch.

The fine hair on her entire body stood up uncontrollably.

She was unable to bear it and wanted to reach out to cover his eyes.

“I might not get to have enough of this sight in this lifetime.” Accompanied by a deep gaze, the corner of Yu Yuehan’s mouth curved up into a loving smile.

He held her hand and walked over to face a mirror in the lounge.

Her facial features were outstanding, and she had an exceptionally beautiful face.

Her entire body was set off by the diamond necklace that emitted an aristocratic aura; it complemented the black mini gown on her very well, and both items brought out the best in each other.

Nian Xiaomu herself was stunned as well.

She couldn’t speak for a moment as she faced such an unfamiliar version if herself.

After she stared blankly for a few seconds, she reached out subconsciously to remove the diamond necklace on her neck, saying, “It’s too expensive. I can’t accept it…”

Yu Yuehan had already pressed his hand over her hand before she could remove the necklace.

A smile encompassed his eyes as he pinched her serious-looking face with his long fingers.

“If you’re not wearing the item that is meant to be donated at the charity auction later on, should I be the one wearing it then?”

Nian Xiaomu: “…!!”

So it wasn’t a gift for her…

Nian Xiaomu heaved a sigh of relief immediately.

She would definitely not decline a chance to help a charity.

However, she couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed after she had relaxed herself.

Turning around, she took a glance at the man beside her.

Had he really not thought about giving her any presents? What happened to the three promises that the boyfriend was to abide by, one of which was that he must give surprise gifts to his girlfriend every now and then?

Yu Yuehan seemed to have guessed everything that she was thinking and opened his mouth to reply, “Don’t worry, I will.”

Just when Nian Xiaomu was about to ask him what he meant by that, the assistant headed forward to give them a reminder and said, “Young Master, the auction is about to begin. It’s time to head into the venue.”

Yu Yuehan lifted his arm up unhurriedly to allow Nian Xiaomu to hold him by the arm. Following which, he left the lounge with her by his side.

The charity auction was split into two sections.

Apart from the banquet, the other eye-catching part of the program was the auction segment that would begin after the banquet.

The guests who would be attending the charity auction were currently exchanging conventional greetings in the ballroom.

They were proposing toasts to each other.

The reflections from the wine glasses were like glistening stars.

Dressed in a well-fitting red gown, Wen Yadai looked noble and brilliant as she stood among the crowd.

With a pair of 12 centimeter heels on her feet, she had somewhat matched a few of the qualities of a goddess even though her figure wasn’t a tall and slender physique in the first place.

She was in no mood to speak to the people around her as she held a glass of red wine in hand. Instead, she kept on stretching her neck out as she searched for Yu Yuehan’s figure in the ballroom.

The Yu Corporation had always supported such large-scale charity auctions.

She was the one who had attended these events with Yu Yuehan in the past.

She knew that he tended to skip the banquet segment because he did not like the bustling atmosphere.

He would only enter the ballroom when the auction was about to commence.

However, why was he still not in sight when the auction was about to begin…

“I heard that Young Master An is already here, so why are you looking around here instead of looking for him?” a mocking voice sounded from behind Wen Yadai.

“…”

Wen Yadai’s grip on her wine glass tightened.

Turning around, she took a glance at the immensely pleased Zhang Mingyan and gritted her teeth.

She had already inquired about that An Li.; he was a good-for-nothing young man from a wealthy family.

It was one thing if he was just loafing around and doing nothing, but he was a gambler and a lecher as well. In the past, he had gotten a woman pregnant and refused to take responsibility for it—that was how he angered the elders from the An Family and was sent abroad as a result.

How could someone like him hold a candle to Young Master Han?

She could never marry such a man…

Never ever!

Today would be her last chance.

She must seize it!

Just as Wen Yadai was pondering this, gasps sounded from the entrance.
