Chapter 123
As long as Qiao Ying had taken a liking to something, it wouldn't matter if it was just a hairpin worth a few tens of millions or a bench worth hundreds of millions to take home and sit on.
But Qin Hanyue had just raised his hand when Qiao Ying grabbed hold of it.
Qin Hanyue's spine stiffened slightly as he looked over.
Qiao Ying was just holding his hand to stop him from bidding, without saying anything, her eyes still fixed on the stage,
So she didn't see Qin Hanyue's reaction.
Flames danced in his deep, murky eyes as he stared at their clasped hands.
Qiao Ying had small, fair, delicate, dainty hands that looked even smaller in his big hand.
The young girl's hand was very soft. Perhaps because the air conditioning was set low, her hand was still slightly cool, while Qin Hanyue was hot-blooded and his body temperature high. His palm was also rough. This kind of collision, from visual to tactile sensations, was clear.
Qin Yan was curious why Qiao Ying didn't raise the price anymore, so she secretly sat up straight, stretched her face forward, and turned her eyeballs to the corners of her eyes,
and caught a glimpse of Qiao Ying grabbing Third Master Qin's hand. She instantly had an expression like she had stumbled upon something, secretly thinking: Third Master didn't come here for nothing today, he made a big fortune!
Even Qin Yan saw it, let alone Qin Yuchen who was sitting closer.
His Adam's apple moved silently as Qin Hanyue said, "If you like it, bid for it. Money is not a problem." His eyes were still fixed on their hands.
Qiao Ying didn't seem to realize she was still grabbing his hand.
She asked back, "Bid for what?"
This thing was neither edible nor potable, and it didn't even look good. Even if she had a lot of money to throw around, she wouldn't possibly throw it to that old rogue An Ying.
Qin Hanyue: "Did she offend you then?"
The "she" here naturally referred to the woman bidding against Qiao Ying.
Qiao Ying: "I was just shouting randomly."
She just wanted to get Wei Qingyuan's attention for a moment and shouted randomly. She didn't even know who she was bidding against.
It could only be said that the other party was unlucky. Anyway, they were all here to do charity, and they weren't short of money. Spending tens of millions was like accumulating virtue.
Qin Hanyue didn't respond. His mind was completely on their hands. Although he didn't have any romantic experience, his experience was still there after all. Being a man of action himself, with such a good opportunity, no one would possibly be able to sit still like Liu Xia Hui under the willows, let alone that he had more than once hinted his feelings to the young girl. So it wasn't too offensive.
Then, following his heart, Qin Hanyue
tried to grasp Qiao Ying's hand tighter.
But having been in a daze for too long and wasted too much time, just as he was about to take action, Qiao Ying let go of his hand.
Qin Hanyue grasped at nothing.
After withdrawing her hand, Qiao Ying also glanced at Qin Hanyue's hand, thinking to herself: Why is this man's hand so hot?
Qiao Ying and the others followed behind.
"Elder Wei."
"Master Qin the third, what a pleasure, what a pleasure. It is truly my honor that Master Qin the third would personally come to show his support."
Qin Hanyue said, "It's a charity event. Of course I should."
Wei Qingyuan: "This young man must be Young Master Qin? Looking so handsome and full of heroic spirit!"
Qin Yuchen: "Elder Wei flatters me too much. I still have much to learn..."
The two sides exchanged pleasantries.
Behind them, Qiao Ying was staring at Wei Qingyuan's adopted son.
Qiao Ying's straightforward gaze made Teng Yan look back at her. When Teng Yan did, he saw the girl give him a faint smile.
The girl was gorgeous with an exceptionally attractive aura.
Earlier when Qiao Ying was bidding against the Su family, Teng Yan had noticed her and subsequently discovered Qin Hanyue beside Qiao Ying as well.
In his appraising looks between them,
he heard the girl ask him, "You are Elder Wei's...?"
Teng Yan returned her smile and replied, "Adopted son."
Qiao Ying: "Doing so much great charity work selflessly and helping so many people, you guys are truly amazing!"
Teng Yan: "You flatter me."
The hardworking errand boy turned back and saw Qiao Ying chatting enthusiastically with another man.
Qin Hanyue's expression didn't change, but his aura instantly turned cold. Following his gaze towards Teng Yan, his eyes were murky as he looked the other man up and down.
His looks were extraordinary indeed, but nothing like the fair-skinned, red lips and white teeth, taciturn and well-behaved type that Qiao Ying liked.
Qiao Ying: "Can I get your contact info?"
Teng Yan: "Of course."
When he saw Qiao Ying take out her phone to save Teng Yan's personal contact info, Qin Hanyue spoke up, "And you are...?"
Just moments ago he had guessed that Qiao Ying was here for Wei Qingyuan. He didn't expect her to be here for the young man instead. Some errand boy he was, he really lifted a rock to drop it on his own feet!
Wei Qingyuan said, "Master Qin the third really has too many acquaintances to remember. This is my adopted son whom you've met before."
Teng Yan reached his hand out to Qin Hanyue and said, "Master Qin the third, we've met before."
Qin Hanyue had both hands tucked into his pants pockets. He lowered his eyes to glance at the outstretched hand in front of him but didn't move.
After leaving the other party hanging for a bit, he finally reached out to shake his hand.
