Attack of the Adorable Kid: President Daddy's Infinite Pampering

Chapter 1629: Even If We’re Not Friends, Are We Going to Be Enemies?

Lin Yanyan was wearing a V-necked red evening gown for tonight’s auction. Her wavy long hair was gathered on one side of her shoulders, showing off her exquisite figure.

Her makeup was exquisite and her bright red lips attracted a lot of attention the moment she entered.

Now, her smile was full of feminine charm.

The man beside Ling Hui glanced at Ling Hui. “If the Tang and Lin families work together, it will be hard for you to take this jade hairpin.”

After Ling Hui saw Lin Yanyan last night, she had dressed herself up like a little fairy today.

She was dressed in a fresh and elegant dress paired with a light layer of makeup, making her skin look even fairer. The design of the dress perfectly outlined her charming curves, and the two legs under the knee-length dress were exceptionally slender and straight.

Ling Hui’s facial features were exquisite and beautiful. Her aura was ever-changing and she could handle any makeup style. When she had red lips, she was charming and enchanting. When she put on fresh and elegant makeup, she was pure.

Lin Yanyan glanced at Ling Hui. She was dressed to the nines and wanted to compare herself to Ling Hui. However, Ling Hui’s style was different from hers. It made Ling Hui look younger than her.

Lin Yanyan looked away from Ling Hui’s face and moved closer to Tang Xi. Her smile widened and she looked extremely feminine. “Young Master Tang, how much should we add?”

Tang Xi did not look at Ling Hui. His slender and bright eyes stared at the jade hairpin on the auction stage. He raised it and raised the sign. “Ten million.”

The jade hairpin on the stage was worth at most a million. It was already a very high price for Ling Hui to bid five million. Tang Xi immediately doubled the price and many people started to whisper.

Ling Hui frowned and glanced at Tang Xi. He leaned against the chair lazily with one hand and tapped the table rhythmically with the other. He looked a little sloppy, but he had a strong aura that could not be ignored.

Women fell on two extremes. They either loved him or hated him.

For example, Lin Yanyan was already a career woman, but she was still attracted to Tang Xi. Now, her beautiful eyes landed on him without blinking.

The host of the auction asked, “Ten million, is there a higher price?”

“Ten million going once, ten million going twice…”

Ling Hui pursed her pink lips and her eyes were cold. “15 million.”

The next second…

“20 million.”

Ling Hui’s expression changed slightly.

What was wrong with this person?

They could not be lovers or friends. Did they have to be enemies when they could not even be strangers?

She had not completely understood what had happened between her father and his mother. Her mother had only said one thing and her father had asked her to believe him.

Her heart was in a mess.

But looking at Tang Xi’s attitude towards her, something must have happened between her father and his mother.

His mother was dead and Tang Xi could not let it go.

“Beauty, it’s just a hairpin. There’s no need to go against the young master of the Tang family. What the Tang family doesn’t lack the most is money!” The man beside Ling Hui advised her.

Ling Hui closed her eyes and raised her card again. “30 million.”

This time, Tang Xi, who was sitting at the neighboring table, was silent for a moment. Just when everyone thought that he would not bid for a hairpin that exceeded its original value, he said calmly, “50 million!”

As soon as the price was out, the crowd went into an uproar.

Even the host almost dropped his microphone.

50 million just for a jade hairpin was really a sky-high price!

Ling Hui’s heart sank.

Her fair hands clenched into fists and she tightened her grip.

Her knuckles turned white.

She did not bring too much money with her this time. She had originally estimated that ten million was the upper limit.

Who would have known that Tang Xi would bid against her and raise the price to 50 million?

It was not that Ling Hui did not want to feel disgusted, but she was helpless.

In the end, that jade hairpin was won by Tang Xi at a high price.

Even until the end of the auction when Tang Xi took away the jade hairpin, he did not glance at Ling Hui at all.

However, Lin Yanyan, who was beside him, kept smiling the entire night.

Any woman would be happy!

After all, the man was willing to spend money for her just because of her words!

Ling Hui came out of the auction feeling depressed, her heart tangled with complicated emotions.

“Junior Ling Hui.”

Ling Hui was about to leave when Han Chen’s low voice sounded out.

Han Chen was one of the people in charge of the auction this time. He had seen Ling Hui and Tang Xi bidding.

He could tell that the jade hairpin was very important to Ling Hui.

“Sister Ling Hui, do you want me to help you communicate with Tang Xi?”

A gust of wind blew and Ling Hui felt a little cold. She did not know if it was because her body was cold or because her heart was cold.

She shook her head. “If we could communicate, he wouldn’t have offered such a high price at the auction.”

There was no room for negotiation.

“I don’t think you ate much tonight. Why don’t we go out and eat something?”

Ling Hui only found out yesterday that she was able to attend this auction because of Han Chen’s help. She did not want to convey her low and negative emotions to him and smiled. “I’ll treat you. I’ve lived here before and I’m quite familiar with this place.”

Seeing that Ling Hui did not refuse, a smile appeared on Han Chen’s mature face. “Alright, it’s my honor.”

Ling Hui brought Han Chen to a seafood restaurant with a good reputation.

The waiter brought them to the terrace.

However, the moment they went over, Ling Hui froze.

Tang Xi and Lin Yanyan were also having supper here.

The two of them sat in a corner with green plants blocking them. If it wasn’t for Lin Yanyan’s laughter, Ling Hui wouldn’t have been able to see them.

Han Chen also saw Tang Xi and Lin Yanyan. He frowned. “Shall we say hello to them or shall we leave the restaurant?”

Ling Hui pursed her lips. “There’s no need to leave. They don’t own this place.”

After they sat down, they ordered some food.

…

During the meal, Ling Hui felt a little uneasy.

Seeing Tang Xi get up to go to the washroom, Ling Hui also used the excuse to go to the washroom.

She did not go in and simply leaned against the wall.

After a while, Tang Xi came out.

He seemed to have smoked a cigarette in the washroom and there was a faint tobacco smell on him.

Seeing Ling Hui standing outside, a complicated look flashed past his eyes but he regained his calmness very quickly.

“Tang Xi, the jade hairpin is very important to me. Why did you bid for it at a price many times higher than the market price? Are you deliberately targeting me?”

Tang Xi had a hand in his pocket as he glanced at Ling Hui with dark eyes. He smirked and smiled lazily. “Miss Ling, you’re thinking too much.”

With that said, he left without giving Ling Hui a chance to speak.

When Ling Hui returned to her seat, Tang Xi and Lin Yanyan had already left.

Ling Hui’s heart sank.

When he hda chased after her in the past, she had not thought much of it. However, ever since she saw his diary, she felt like she was possessed. Every action of his would affect her emotions.
