Chapter 40

Yu Mei's voice became softer and softer as she spoke, as if she was afraid that Yu Xiaoxiao would hear her words.

However, judging from Huo Shaoning's shocked expression, Yu Mei definitely did not say anything good.

It was all about the problem with Qi Qingfeng's legs.

Not long after Yu Mei finished speaking, Huo Shaoning's gaze fell on Yu Xiaoxiao's face once again.

It was just that this time, Yu Xiaoxiao saw sympathy in Huo Shaoning's eyes …

Pui! Yu Xiaoxiao spat in her heart.

If Huo Shaoning knew that even if the two of them were to get married, she would still break his legs.

"Xiaoxiao, I never thought that you would be so foolish …" As Huo Shaoning spoke, he took a deep breath, and a trace of pain flashed through his dark eyes. "No matter how much you're angry at me, there's no need to take your own life as a wager with me. Actually, I …"

"Stop!" Hearing what Huo Shaoning said, Yu Xiaoxiao's head immediately grew big, he waved his hand at Huo Shaoning, interrupting him from speaking further.

"Whether I marry or not is my freedom. I don't need any of you to talk too much."

"But you can't …"

"Shao Ning." Without waiting for Huo Shaoning to finish speaking, Yu Yibo took Liu Rumeng and walked over to his side.

The corner of his eyes revealed a smile, and he smiled towards Huo Shaoning: "I heard that you have some customers that you know, how about you introduce them to me?"

Yu Yibo originally thought that he could borrow the momentum from when Yu Xiaoxiao just entered the door to get to know more people.

The other big bosses still ignored him.

In desperation, Yu Yibo had no choice but to turn back and seek Huo Shaoning's help.

"This …" Huo Shaoning was at a loss for words for a while. He scanned his surroundings, chuckled, and nodded, "Uncle, please wait for a moment, I …"

As he said till here, Huo Shaoning subconsciously looked in the direction of Yu Xiaoxiao, but discovered that she had already disappeared.

Letting out a sigh, Huo Shaoning let out a helpless smile, turned around, and led Yu Yibo and the others to the other side.

As for Yu Xiaoxiao, in order to get rid of Huo Shaoning and the others, she took the chance to hide in a corridor, took out her cell phone from her bag, and dialed Qi Qingfeng's number.

The phone continuously rang for a few times, but no one answered. Yu Xiaoxiao's heart suddenly felt depressed.

He had clearly brought her here with great fanfare, but this fellow was nowhere to be seen.

Yu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought back to when they had met before and when they had received their certificates.

He wouldn't be stepping on it again, right?

Just as she was thinking, Yu Xiaoxiao's phone suddenly vibrated. She quickly checked her phone and saw that it was a message.

In order to not ruin the atmosphere of the charity auction, Yu Xiaoxiao changed her phone to vibrate.

Without the bell from before, Yu Xiaoxiao almost forgot about this message.

"What, you're thinking of me after just a day of not seeing me, Mrs Qi?"

Looking at the words on the short message, Yu Xiaoxiao's lips revealed a faint smile; beautiful and elegant.

She raised her eyebrows and thought for a while before typing out a line of words.

[Mr. Qi, if you don't appear soon, you will lose your baby.]

With a satisfied smile on his face, Yu Xiaoxiao finally sent this message out. In an instant, two red clouds flew out of her face.

She stood in the quiet hallway with her cell phone in her hand, waiting for the phone to vibrate again.

However, as time passed, the phone seemed to have died and the phone didn't move at all …

"Esteemed guests, tonight's charity auction ball is about to begin."

A clear voice came from the microphone and spread in all directions.

"The list of items to be auctioned will be sent out to everyone one by one. After the bids are made, our Lady Rite will retrieve them and proceed to the final bidding. Please prepare in advance."

Hearing the broadcast, Yu Xiaoxiao could only walk out from the corridor and return to the venue.

From afar, she saw Yu Yibo and Liu Rumeng following behind Huo Shaoning with a depressed look on their faces. Yu Meili, who was also following beside Huo Shaoning, didn't look any better.

"Damn it, I didn't think that so many people would want to form a relationship with me. We can't even get a word in!" Yu Yibo frowned, his face was gloomy as he started to complain.

Seeing that, Liu Rumeng immediately laughed lightly, and comforted him: "Master, don't be anxious, there are more people here, we can go back later …"

"What do you know?" Yu Yibo glared at Liu Rumeng, "Didn't you see how the bosses acted just now?

Which one of them didn't have a beautiful daughter to help with their relationship? What about him? It would be weird if others would pay attention to a middle-aged woman like her!

Yu Yibo could not help but feel infuriated when he thought of this.

"Don't count on me, I am already pregnant with Shao Ning's child." When Yu Mei noticed Yu Yibo's strange gaze, she immediately cast it aside.

She did not want to be cannon fodder for Yu Yibo.

Thinking about that, she looked up towards the direction that Yu Xiaoxiao disappeared in, coincidentally meeting her gaze.

Almost at the same time, Yu Yibo's gaze landed on Yu Xiaoxiao.

Her outfit today was indeed enough to make many men's eyes light up. Who knows …

When Yu Yibo thought about this, a pair of experienced and scheming eyes slowly narrowed.

"Xiaoxiao, where did you go just now? It worries me. " Just as she approached Yu Xiaoxiao, Yu Yibo's words rang beside her ears.

Yu Xiaoxiao curled her lips, shrugged her shoulders and replied: "Nothing, I just went to the washroom."

After saying that, her gaze shifted to the crowd once again, but the person in her heart was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, a touch of sadness slipped into Yu Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes.

"Little Jun, in a while, you and daddy …"

Yu Yibo could not help but swallow his saliva, with a smile on his face, he watched as Yu Xiaoxiao opened his mouth, causing a commotion among the crowd.

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the commotion and saw a man in a casual suit slowly being pushed into the charity auction.

He leaned on the back of the chair with one hand and looked at everyone with interest.

Her beautiful red phoenix eyes narrowed and her eyebrows raised. She pursed her lips in an extremely charming manner, not caring in the slightest about the gazes that others cast at her.

"Heavens! Why is he here?"

Whispers of discussion rose from the crowd.

"They should also be here to participate in the charity auction. Qi Family people are always at fault."

"But this Mr. Qi never participates in these kinds of events."

It had been a long time since he had shown his face after his car accident. However, it was hard for others to forget his unparalleled handsome face with just a glance.
