Wen Yadai berbalik dan mengalihkan pandangan ke arah An Li. Ia mencengkeram lengan lelaki itu dengan keras, seperti orang tenggelam yang mencengkeram jerami terakhir.
"Tuan Muda An, aku berebut bros itu dengannya semata-mata karena kamu. Sekarang Tuan Muda Han sudah mencatatmu di kepalanya, kamu tidak akan meninggalkanku, kan…" Wen Yadai berusaha keras menjaga pikirannya tetap jernih dan tidak panik.
Ia belum sampai di jalan buntu.
Ia masih punya An Li!
Dengan status sosial An Li saat ini, ditambah identitasnya sebagai Tuan Muda tertua Keluarga An, mendapatkan 20 juta yuan seharusnya bukan perkara sulit baginya.
Sembari merencanakan segalanya dalam hati, Wen Yadai tetap tenang di luar dan hendak melanjutkan membujuk si bodoh An Li.
Namun, ia menyadari tatapan An Li sama sekali tidak tertuju padanya.
Lelaki itu justru menatap Nian Xiaomu dengan tak berkedip!
Hampir saja air liurnya menetes; tatapan takjub dan terpukau itu seperti sedang melihat benda langka.
"Cantik, terlalu cantik!"
Sejak pandangan pertama, An Li tak mampu melepaskan matanya dari wajah Nian Xiaomu.
Memang begitu sifat aslinya.
Ia selalu mengaku sebagai tawanan cinta dan bersumpah akan tetap hidup bebas bermadu asmara meski sudah menjadi hantu.
Andai bukan karena Yu Yuehan duduk di samping Nian Xiaomu, mungkin ia sudah tak sanggup menahan diri dan mendekati perempuan itu untuk menggodanya!
Ia sama sekali tak peduli Wen Yadai hidup atau mati…
"Tuan Muda An!" Wen Yadai mulai kehilangan kesabaran dan berteriak padanya.
Melihat Nian Xiaomu bahkan berhasil memikat An Li, ia sangat kesal hingga giginya nyaris patah karena digeram!
Perempuan sialan!
Teriakan Wen Yadai membuat An Li jengkel. Ia berbalik dan meliriknya sekilas.
Wen Yadai menahan amarah. Saat ia hendak membuka mulut memohon bantuan An Li, lelaki itu berkata dingin, "Jangan anggap aku bodoh. Aku tak tahu apakah kamu benar-benar berniat membantuku, tapi satu hal yang kuketahui—kamu menyukai Tuan Muda Han, kan?"
"…"
Jantung Wen Yadai nyaris berhenti berdetak.
Rasa malu karena pikiran terdalamnya terbongkar begitu saja langsung terpampang di wajahnya.
Namun, An Li adalah satu-satunya orang yang bisa ia andalkan.
Bagaimana pun juga, ia tak boleh menyinggung lelaki itu.
Wen Yadai mengepalkan tinjunya. Sambil memaksakan senyum, ia berpura-pura tidak mengerti dan bertanya, "Tuan Muda An, maksudmu apa? Aku sudah lama sekali mengenal Tuan Muda Han. Hanya saja…"
"Apa kamu pernah tidur dengannya?" An Li memotong ucapannya tanpa peringatan.
Sekali gus, wajah Wen Yadai kehilangan seluruh warnanya mendengar kata-kata kasar itu.
Reaksinya seolah mengonfirmasi dugaan An Li. Sambil memamerkan deretan gigi kekuningan, lelaki itu mengulurkan tangan dan mencengkeram dagu Wen Yadai, lalu berkata, "Hehe, lihat reaksimu itu. Aku ragu dia mau padamu meski kamu menawarkan diri, eh?"
"Kamu—!" Wen Yadai belum pernah dipermalukan seperti ini. Saat ia menepis tangan lelaki itu dan hendak menamparnya, tiba-tiba ia teringat bros yang baru saja ia menangkan.
Amarahnya tak bisa ia salurkan ke mana pun!
Ia menutup mulut dan berlari keluar dengan mata berkaca-kaca.
An Li sama sekali tak peduli padanya. Ia duduk kembali di kursinya dan kembali mengalihkan pandangan ke Nian Xiaomu.

Wen Yadai turned around and shifted her gaze to An Li. She grabbed his arm forcefully as if she were holding onto her last strand of life-saving straw,
“Young Master An, I fought over that brooch with her all because of you. Now that Young Master Han has taken note of you in his mind, you wouldn’t ditch me, right…” Wen Yadai tried her best to keep a clear mind and not to panic.
She wasn’t at the end of her rope yet.
She still had An Li!
With An Li’s current social status as well as his identity as the eldest Young Master of the An Family, it shouldn’t be a difficult thing for him to obtain 20 million yuan.
As Wen Yadai plotted silently on the inside, she remained collected on the outside and was about to continue coaxing An Li the idiot.
However, she realized that An Li’s gaze was totally not focused on her.
Instead, he was staring fixedly at Nian Xiaomu!
He was nearly drooling; it was as if he had seen a rare object with that stunned and obsessed gaze of his.
“Beautiful, too beautiful!”
An Li couldn’t peel his gaze away from Nian Xiaomu’s face after the very first moment that he saw her.
This was his original character anyway.
He had always claimed that he was a prisoner of love and that he would continue to be dissolute even after he had turned into a ghost.
If not for the fact that Yu Yuehan was the one who was sitting beside Nian Xiaomu, he might have failed to restrain himself and headed forward to hit on her by this point!
He wouldn’t care about the life and death of Wen Yadai…
“Young Master An!” Wen Yadai became a little impatient and shouted at him.
Seeing that Nian Xiaomu had bewitched An Li as well, she was so pissed that her teeth nearly broke from how much she was the gritting!
Slut!
Annoyed by all her yelling, An Li turned around and took a glance at her.
Wen Yadai held back her anger. Just when she was about to speak up and beg An Li to help her, he said coldly, “Don’t take me for an idiot. I don’t really know if you had actually intended on helping me, but what I do know is that you liked Young Master Han, right?”
“…”
Wen Yadai’s heart skipped a beat.
The embarrassment of her inner thoughts being directly exposed appeared on her face instantly.
However, An Li was the only person that she could rely on.
She couldn’t offend him no matter what.
Wen Yadai clenched her fists. Putting on a forceful smile, she play possum and asked, “Young Master An, what are you talking about? I have known Young Master Han for a very long time. It’s just that…”
“Have you slept with him?” An Li interrupted her abruptly.
All at once, Wen Yadai’s face drained of all color upon hearing this crude language.
Her reaction seemed to have confirmed An Li’s speculations. Flashing a mouthful of yellowish teeth, he reached out and pinched Wen Yadai’s chin before saying, “Hehe, look at that reaction of yours. I’m afraid that he wouldn’t have wanted it even if you offered yourself, eh?”
“You!” Wen Yadai had never been disgraced like this. Just when she pushed his hand away and was about to send a slap at his face, she suddenly thought of the brooch that she had just won.
She could not release the fumes inside her no matter how angry she was!
She covered her mouth and ran out with tears in both eyes.
An Li would never give a hoot about her. As he sat back in his seat, he shifted his gaze over to Nian Xiaomu again.
The auction continued.
Even though Nian Xiaomu did not obtain the brooch, her mood wasn’t affected as she had managed to force Wen Yadai into swallowing a bitter pill in silence.
When she noticed that Yu Yuehan was staring at her, she curled her lips and said, “I’m fine. It’s just a pity that the present for grandma is gone.”
The matriarch was exceptionally nice to her as well.
Matriarch Yu was the first elder who had treated Nian Xiaomu so kindly after Nian Xiaomu had woken up from the hospital.
It was a pity that she didn’t managed to purchase that brooch and could only search for other gifts now.
A treacherous ray of light hovered in Yu Yuehan’s dark eyes when he heard what she said.
Leaning his body in her direction, he ignored the gazes of the others in the venue and lowered his handsome face toward her.
As the corners of his lips curved up, he pretended to be kind and reminded her, “Grandma doesn’t need a brooch, she needs a granddaughter-in-law.”
