“Mr. Qin, I am only here to attend the charity auction to make a contribution to the impoverished children of the mountain area. Don’t overthink it,” Xu Yixue said indifferently, her expression cool.

“Haha, not only is the beautiful Xu Yixue pleasing to the eye, but her heart is even more appealing. In fact, I am also a person full of love,” Qin Haowen laughed heartily, praising himself shamelessly. In truth, his dedication stemmed solely from his desire to get Xu Yixue into bed. As for whether the children in the mountain area could attend school or not, he couldn’t care less.

“Qin Haowen, I’ve heard that you’ve tired of and discarded four or five girlfriends in just a month. It doesn’t seem quite right to say that you have a beautiful heart,” Ye Xiaoning said coldly to Qin Haowen. She was afraid Xu Yixue would be deceived by this scion and deliberately made this remark.

“Miss Ye, you must not slander me, Qin Haowen. In matters of love, it’s a mutual agreement—there’s no talk of abandonment. Besides, if I, Qin Haowen, donate money for the children of the mountain area, why wouldn’t I deserve to be called beautiful-hearted,” Qin Haowen retorted, feeling incensed after hearing Ye Xiaoning candidly exposing his track record. However, with Xu Yixue standing in front of him, he couldn’t lose his temper and instead defended himself feigning the demeanor of a gentleman.

Internally, he was seething with hatred for Ye Xiaoning and thought vindictively, ‘Ye Xiaoning, just wait and see how brazen you are now. When the time comes, I’ll handle both you and Xu Yixue, and you’ll see what I’m capable of.’

Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning were both top-tier beauties. If he could conquer them both at once, enjoying the pleasure of ‘a dragon flanked by two phoenixes,’ he would be ecstatic.

As he pondered this, a lecherous smile emerged on Qin Haowen’s face.

“Qin Haowen, when does the auction start?” Seeing the look on Qin Haowen’s face, Xu Yixue’s delicate brows knit slightly in displeasure. She addressed him by his full name instead of ‘Mr. Qin,’ her tone somewhat brusque.

“Yixue, it’s about to begin. Let me introduce you—this is Chairman Luo Yongtai from the Zhonghai Commerce Association’s Charity Foundation. The proceeds from today’s auction will go into the foundation, and Chairman Luo will then make a unified donation to the impoverished children in the Western Mountain Region,” Qin Haowen gestured to a middle-aged man in his forties seated behind him and called Chairman Luo over.

“Miss Xu, it’s a pleasure to meet you for the first time. You are truly radiant and captivating,” Luo Yongtai greeted Xu Yixue with a bow, speaking graciously.

“Chairman Luo is too kind. Your heart is in charity and you are dedicated to public welfare; I deeply admire that. If there’s any area where Xu Yixue and Xinghai Media can be of help, feel free to ask me at any time. I will give my full support,” Xu Yixue replied with a modest smile, addressing Luo Yongtai respectfully.

“When I saw you, I was thinking, if there’s a chance, I hope you could become the image ambassador for our foundation and shoot a public service advertisement to support the return of the impoverished students of the mountain area to school. It would call on more people to participate in charitable activities,” Chairman Luo said, his gaze momentarily bewildered by Xu Yixue’s smile before he regained his composure and spoke with a smile.

“Sure, if I can make a contribution to the children of the mountain area, Yixue and Xinghai Media would be very willing,” Xu Yixue nodded gently and then took out her phone, “Chairman Luo, please add me on WeChat; we can discuss the details further later on.”

“Of course, of course!” Luo Yongtai nodded and took out his own phone to add Xu Yixue on WeChat.

From their brief interaction, Luo Yongtai could confirm that the beauty before him genuinely had a philanthropic heart, and was not simply wearing the guise of charity for show like ninety percent of the people in the hall.

Although the hall was filled with eight or nine locally famous actresses in Zhonghai, Luo Yongtai had gone over to chat with them for a bit. His first question was about their fees for shooting an episode, and the second was an apology, saying his schedule was fully booked.

Luo Yongtai was somewhat disheartened; he had said it was a public welfare advertisement, where there was no such thing as a fee. At most, it would be a token of appreciation, some kind of hardship allowance. Although Luo Yongtai was the chairman of the Charity Association, the charity funds were not for him to decide on his own. The donated funds were meant to support student aid programs, not to increase these celebrities’ income.

So after being rebuffed, Luo Yongtai no longer sought contact with the celebrities in the hall but sat alone, drinking his sorrows away.

Unexpectedly, “when all seemed lost, a path appeared; as the willows darkened, the flowers brought forth a new village”—when Xu Yixue entered, he was truly stunned by her beauty. To be honest, there were no less than ten female stars sitting in the hall just now, including two top national actresses and seven or eight second-tier ones. But as soon as Xu Yixue appeared, all eyes that had been on these celebrities were drawn away to her. Few people continued to pay them any attention.

Although Xu Yixue was not an artist, her looks and temperament easily overshadowed all the artists in the hall. Thus, when Luo Yongtai approached to greet her, he also expressed his desire to shoot a public welfare promotional video.

Unexpectedly, this young Miss Xu said that her Xinghai Media and she herself were willing to support charitable causes.

“Damn,” Luo Yongtai felt he was incredibly lucky. A charity auction cocktail party hadn’t even started, yet he had already resolved a major issue that had been weighing on his mind. Not only had he found a leading role for the promotional video, but the lead also came with an entertainment company. He guessed the filming wouldn’t need much of his attention—a very smooth turn of events.

On the other hand, Qin Haowen’s face darkened as he saw Xu Yixue and Luo Yongtai getting more and more engaged in conversation.

“I called you here to help raise my profile, not to act like the boss and discuss collaborations with my goddess. Am I, Qin family’s young master, invisible to you?” Qin Haowen thought.

So Qin Haowen cleared his throat and coughed twice towards Luo Yongtai, asking, “Chairman Luo, shall we start preparing for the charity auction?”

“Ah, yes, yes, yes, Young Master Qin’s reminder is right. Let’s get the auction going,” Luo Yongtai replied with a chuckle, smiling at Qin Haowen.

Although Qin Haowen was just a second-generation rich kid, he was also the heir to the Qin Corporation. Luo Yongtai’s Charity Foundation had always been supported by the Qin Corporation’s funds, so he gave Qin Haowen due respect.

“Yixue, come sit over here. The items for this auction, and the funds raised from them, will be donated to children in the mountainous areas through the Zhonghai Charity Foundation. Of course, ‘Heart of the Ocean,’ the gift I gave you, is also one of the items to be auctioned,” Qin Haowen said, reaching out his hand, intending to pull Xu Yixue into the vacant front-row seat.

Xu Yixue sidestepped Qin Haowen’s hand gracefully and said, “Our Xinghai Media is just a small company; it’s fine for us to sit in the back. Young Master Qin should sit up front with Chairman Luo and discuss more details of charitable endeavors.” Without waiting for Qin Haowen’s response, Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning walked with elegant strides towards the sofas in the back.
