In the midst of thunderous applause, Huo Jingshen sat motionless.

Because Su Wanwan had not returned.

Not until the host asked him for the umpteenth time did Chu Xiuhuang lean in with a low cough, “Big brother, wouldn’t a surprise be better?”

Huo Jingshen gave the entrance a lackluster glance before begrudgingly standing up.

Under the gaze of everyone, he slowly walked onto the stage and took the jade necklace handed over by the usherette.

Under the spotlight, the man stood tall and handsome, dashing, unmatched in charisma.

What a pity…

The main character wasn’t present.

“May I ask, Mr. Huo, why did you choose to bid 25.20 million for this necklace?’¹ “Because,” Huo Jingshen smiled, “This is for my treasure: Two, Five, Two Zero.”

“Pfft!” Chu Xiuhuang let out a laugh.

Five Two Zero” is easy enough to understand, but what does this “Two” mean? That s interpretation varies person to person.

Chu Jingyi looked up at the stage, a faint smile playing on her red lips, but a flash of derision quickly passed through her eyes.

At the beginning, she indeed had her eyes set on this Royal Green jade necklace.

But after Huo Jingshen upped the price, she knew he intended to gift it to Su Wanwan, hence, she decided to compete for it no matter how high the price went.

Even though the price ended up far exceeding her budget.

I see. Wow, that’s the most touching confession I’ve ever heard, congratulations to Mr. Huo, and to Mr. Huo’s sweetheart.”

The applause was thunderous, the lights flickered.

After the interview ended, Huo Jingshen descended from the stage.

The host began introducing the next auction item, a replica of the “Goddess of the Luo River” hand-painted by Master Chu himself.

As the old man took to the stage and began his detailed explanation, the venue fell silent, everyone fully invested in his speech.

It was until Chu Jingyi casually turned her head that she noticed the next seat over, Huo Jingshen had vanished. Looking over to the other side, even Madam Huo was also missing.

**

Huo Jingshen dialed Su Wanwan’s number in the corridor.

Beside him, Madam Huo was anxiously checking the time, her brows furrowed. “Grandma, take Ziyang home to sleep first.”

The time was already past nine when Huo Jingshen put his phone down, “Wanwan didn’t answer the phone, I’ll go check the restroom.”

“I hope nothing’s wrong,” Madam Huo was worried.

Tonight was Master Chu’s birthday banquet. She brought only Fu Ziyang with her, initially planning a brief appearance before returning home, yet her daughter-in-law had suddenly gone missing.

“Nothing will happen, she’s not a child,” Huo Jingshen assured her. Considering how late it was, Madam Huo had no choice but to agree, “Alright, call me when you find her.”

“Goodbye, Uncle Huo,” Fu Ziyang politely waved his little hand.

After bidding goodbye to his grandmother and Ziyang, Huo Jingshen went to wait outside the restroom.

He was wearing a crisp black three-piece suit. Due to his anxiety, his brows were furrowed, his thin lips pressed into a straight line. His whole demeanor was quite serious.

As the minutes ticked by, the man’s expression grew increasingly tight. Eventually, a woman exited, prompting Huo Jingshen to step forward and ask, “Is there anyone else inside?”

Startled by being stopped unexpectedly, the woman was initially spooked. But upon seeing the man’s handsome face, she instantly fluttered-blushing, she asked shyly, “Are you looking for someone?”

Huo Jingshen nodded, “Could you help me see if there’s anyone else inside?”

Alright.” With her face still red, she turned to go back inside to check.

Soon enough, she came back out, “Sir, there’s no one else inside, may I ask…”

Before she could finish, Huo Jingshen turned around and walked away. The woman:”???? ”

Huo Jingshen had searched the entire floor of the banquet hall without catching sight of Su Wanwan. Holding onto a sliver of hope, he drove back to the Imperial Court.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was met with a brightly lit villa.

When he made it to the upper floor and pushed open his bedroom door.

As expected.

Su Wanwan was lying on the sofa, still wearing her red dress. It appeared as though she had fallen asleep.

The coffee table was littered with bottles of beer, red wine, liquor… strewn about, some empty, others mostly full.

The air was thick with the smell of alcohol.

Huo Jingshen’s brow furrowed as he quickly approached her.

Su Wanwan’s little face was flushed red from drinking. Although she had her eyes closed, she looked blissfully asleep.

Except…

Her red dress was dirty and stained with dust, the hem even looked ripped, and

her legs and feet were marked with blood…

His frown deepened instantly.

He picked up the phone on the table. Among the dozens of missed calls, all were from him, the phone was even set to silent mode.

This little miscreant…

Resigned, Huo Jingshen went downstairs.

Five minutes later, he was back in the bedroom, a medical kit in hand.

Just as he was about to treat her wounds, Su Wanwan sat up abruptly. With wild hair and dazed eyes, she locked onto him with surprise accuracy. Then, she opened her mouth.

“Scum!”

Huo Jingshen was taken aback.

“Scum!” Su Wanwan repeated, then she slid her legs down from the sofa and tried to stand up.

Huo Jingshen grabbed her right away, “Where are you going?”

“I want to drink…burp…”

“Drink, drink, drink, you’re already drunk, and you still want to drink!” Huo Jingshen felt like he was disciplining a child.

“I want to drink!” Su Wanwan retorted, then Huo Jingshen pushed her back onto the sofa.

She fought back against him while under the influence, pushing him, scratching him, punching him, kicking him.

All the while she was ranting in her drunken fury, shouting, “Don’t touch me…scum…liar…burp….disgusting hooligan!”
