After the divorce, she disappeared overnight

Chapter 213 Huo Chenqi, you are too domineering.

The man put away his phone, his deep eyes staring ahead motionlessly.

There was endless murderous intent in his eyes, like a sharp blade about to be unsheathed, with a cold light shining everywhere.

Over the years, he has always hoped that what he heard was not true.

In order to escape the cruel reality, he chose to bury everything deep in his heart and pretend that nothing had happened.

A year ago, Bai Xi had just undergone facial reconstructive surgery and restored her former appearance.

He originally thought that he could continue his relationship with her after she recovered her appearance...

However, the gears of fate began to turn ruthlessly at this moment.

One day, Bai Xi accidentally heard the news that Huo Chenqi and Luo Yao had reunited.

This news hit her like a bolt from the blue.

For a moment, Bai Xi found it hard to accept this fact. She broke down emotionally and dragged him out for a drink, hoping to drown her sorrows in alcohol.

Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol, or perhaps it was the long-suppressed emotions that finally found an outlet, Bai Xi indeed revealed a shocking secret after drinking.

When he heard this secret, he was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.

He had devoted himself wholeheartedly, pouring all his efforts and energy into her.

He can give up everything he has to help her reach the pinnacle of her career, or he can make her lose everything in an instant and fall into an abyss from which there is no return.

……

Hwaseong——

At the magnificent auction scene.

Rows of gorgeous crystal chandeliers hang high on the ceiling of the spacious and grand hall.

The light refracts through the crystal, illuminating the entire hall and creating an elegant and luxurious atmosphere.

The venue was already packed, with celebrities, business tycoons, and art collectors from all walks of life whispering to each other.

Their faces were filled with anticipation and enthusiasm, because every bid tonight would contribute to charity.

Luo Yao sat elegantly in the first row, her eyes wandering around inadvertently, but she never expected to meet Lan Xiyue in this occasion.

Look at her arrogant and complacent look.

Luo Yao found it very interesting, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but slightly rise, revealing a smile that she couldn't help but laugh.

"Wife, am I not pretty enough to make your eyes stay on me?"

Huo Chenqi crossed his arms across his chest, his handsome face full of complaints.

"Women are jealous too, Huo Chenqi, you are too domineering." Luo Yao turned her head and scolded the man.

"I don't care. Either look at the stage or at me." Huo Chenqi's tone was a little stubborn.

Gu Bei, who was standing by, heard their conversation and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Brother~" Luo Yao glared at Gu Bei, who was laughing beside her.

"In the stands."

Gu Bei suppressed his smile, with a hint of arc still lingering on the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile.

"You should ask your aunt to arrange a few more blind dates for you so that you won't make fun of me here." Luo Yao said pretending to be angry.

"Little princess, I won't laugh anymore, okay? You guys continue."

Gu Bei quickly raised his hands in surrender, still with that cynical smile on his face.

"Humph!"

Luo Yao snorted lightly and ignored the two people beside her. She focused her eyes on the stage. After all, she came here with an important mission today.

Lan Xiyue behind him stared at the two people in front of him, her eyes revealing deep hatred, as if she wanted to tear them into pieces.

At this time, the auctioneer, wearing a neat suit, walked onto the stage with steady steps, his eyes revealing professionalism and confidence.

"Dear guests, welcome to tonight's charity auction."

“Every item here carries love and hope, and every bid you make will bring warmth and care to those in need.”

The auctioneer's magnetic voice rang out in the venue, kicking off the auction.

The enthusiastic opening triggered warm applause from the audience.

"The jade bracelet presented to you now is made of top-grade jadeite and carefully carved by master craftsmen."

"It is not only a beautiful ornament, but also a treasure with profound cultural heritage and artistic value."

"The starting price is 20 yuan, and each increase in price must not be less than 1 yuan. The auction begins now!" The host's loud voice echoed in the hall.

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately raised the sign impatiently.

A lady in a black windbreaker was the first to raise her number plate: "25!"

"30 per time for this gentleman." The host's eyes quickly locked on the person holding the sign and shouted in a loud voice.

"40, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"

As the host made his bids, the atmosphere at the auction gradually became more heated.

"Wife, do you like it?" A low voice sounded from the audience.

Luo Yao shook her head. Her mother had sent her several of these last time, and she couldn’t take care of them all herself.

"Five hundred thousand!" An old man calmly raised the number plate in his hand.

Finally, after several rounds of fierce bidding, the exquisite jade bracelet was successfully bought by the old man for 50 yuan.

"Well, congratulations to this old gentleman, and thank him for the warmth he brought to the children in the orphanage."

"Come on, we look forward to the next lot."

A pink diamond necklace, each petal is inlaid with delicate diamonds to form a plum blossom pattern.

The number of plum blossom petals symbolizes the five blessings, namely happiness, luck, longevity, success and peace, and is considered auspicious.

"The starting price for this necklace is 30, and each bid must be no less than 2. Bidding begins now!"

A gentleman sitting in the back row held up a sign, "35!"

"50." Luo Yao raised the cards in his hand.

This price jump was much higher, causing a sensation in the audience, and people were talking about the identity of the bidder.

The auctioneer looked at Luo Yao with a smile, then slowly raised the auction gavel in his hand.

He shouted loudly: "This beautiful lady is asking for 50 yuan. Is there anyone willing to bid?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Xiyue raised the number plate in her hand.

"80 million!"

Prices are climbing again and people's emotions are reaching a climax.

A familiar voice came from behind Luo Yao, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she took the bait...

Then he calmly raised the bidding card in his hand again and shouted clearly and firmly: "150 million."

"Two million." Lan Xiyue's voice sounded immediately.

"250 million."

Lan Xiyue chased after him relentlessly, ready to capture him, and shouted, "300 million."

This time, Luo Yao did not raise the cards in her hand again as she did before, but just sat there silently.

He stared at the stage steadily, with a hint of complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

"Wife~don't you like it?" Huo Chenqi's voice sounded in Luo Yao's ears, with a hint of concern and doubt.

"I don't like it." Luo Yao curled her lips and said sarcastically stubbornly.

But since Lan Xiyue likes me, I should be more generous.

After all, with two million dollars, you can just buy a few stones to play with. There's no need to fight to the death here.

Huo Chenqi keenly caught the subtle sadness in her eyes, and he took the bidding card from Luo Yao without saying a word.

He pretended to shout.

"I do not like."

Luo Yao emphasized hurriedly, with a hint of urgency in her voice, and stretched out her hand to try to stop Huo Chenqi's actions.

The man paused and stared at her with deep eyes, but he still couldn't guess what she was thinking.
