Part Two: 'East Soil Big Sugar' Chapter 242: Dress

her mouth, instead of helping to solve the problem, she started blaming. Cheng Zimin had never received any kind treatment in her life, so she couldn't learn to treat others kindly. Just like when she...Mr. Wang has been in the business world for many years and cares a great deal about appearances. Even if he has to bite the bullet, he'll put on a brave face, especially with Young Master Gu smiling at him. His wife says whatever she wants, and her expressions are always directed at Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang can only grit his teeth while listening to the auctioneer say, "Sold! Congratulations, Mr. Wang."

Congratulations on what Congratulations to this big fool

Mr. Wang only had one thought in his mind: to walk around Mrs. Gu from now on. Her seemingly innocent and naive appearance was actually the true way to kill without bloodshed.

Lu Yao also sincerely congratulated Wang Dong on getting his heart's desire diamond, then stared at Gu Ruandong with anticipation: "Mr. Wang is so good to his wife, wasn't that blue diamond just now the most expensive one at this auction"

Gu Ruandong: "Wait a bit longer."

The real surprise is usually saved for the final items in an auction. Since he brought YaoYao here, he definitely won't leave empty-handed.

After that, several million-dollar diamonds were auctioned off. Until finally, under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, a special glass-crafted display case slowly rose to the stage. Inside the case, glittering brightly, was the star piece of this auction.

This is a delicate and intricately designed crown, extremely luxurious and encrusted with diamonds. It originates from a European royal family.

Even Lu YaoYao, who was accustomed to top-tier luxury goods, was captivated by this noble and dazzling aura, unable to help but glance at it more than once.

Gu Ruandong smiled and leaned close to her ear, whispering, "Like it"

She nodded, of course she did.

After the auctioneer, with a hint of excitement in his voice, finished introducing this product, he began the first round of bidding. Before anyone in the audience could raise their cards, Gu Ruandong was the first to do so, directly offering an eight-figure price, crushing the competition outright. He acted decisively and efficiently, leaving no room for anyone to haggle, test the waters, or push back and forth.

Lu Yao turned to look at him in disbelief: "Are you crazy"

In case no one bids that high, maybe he could get it for a few tens of millions less. Wouldn't he be losing out

What a big sucker.

But Gu Ruandong didn't mind: "Things I give you are worth any amount of money."

What people want is a gesture of goodwill, an outpouring of emotion. That's why it was so decisive, cutting off all covetousness.

Lu Yaoyao's heart beat wildly out of control, and she suddenly wanted to burrow into his arms and hug him.

"Do you like it"

"Like."

Beyond the price, the crown itself has a very rich history. This crown is definitely worth it.

Because Gu Ruandong directly gave the estimated auction price for this crown at his first bid, even slightly higher, no one in the same room competed with him, and no one raised the price again, fearing that they might lose money if they did.

There was a stir in the scene as everyone turned to look at him. Upon seeing who it was, they all thought it made sense—he was spending a fortune for love's sake.

For priceless artifacts, auction houses have professional security personnel escort them back. However, Gu Ruandong didn't care about that. After receiving it, he directly opened the glass protection cabinet, took out the crown, and looked down at Yao Yao and said, "I'll put it on you."

In full view of everyone, without any hesitation.

Because her outfit today was as if it were made for this crown, and beautiful things are meant to be shown off. To take a picture of it is to let her wear it, not to keep it in storage, which would be pointless.

As something so valuable, Lu YaoYao was of course able to afford it. Since she had already won the bid, she accepted it readily. She stood up straight a little and let him help her put it on.

Gu Ruandong carefully put it on her.

"Don't you think it looks nice" she asked, tilting her head slightly. She had a classic Hepburn elegance about her, with her long neck and upswept hair that showcased a crown of intricate beauty, perfectly complementing her natural grace. How could it not be beautiful

Even so beautiful, Gu Ruandong wanted to kiss her in public.

But he only gently took her hand, and placed a kiss on the back of it, filled with love and devotion.

Lu Yaoyao's heart felt like it was being caressed by feathers, soft and ticklish. Under the envious gazes of everyone present, she walked away hand-in-hand with him, escorted by more than a dozen security guards.

All the way, Gu Ruandong just held her hand and didn't speak, but countless tender love was radiating around the two of them.

Many words, don't have to be said in front of outsiders. Whispers, should be whispered quietly.

When they returned to the villa, it was already late. As Lu Yao passed the hallway outside the study, Gu Ruandong pulled her into the study and pinned her against the door.

He has been sleeping in the study for the past few nights.

At that moment, he did nothing. He simply trapped her between the door and himself, staring into her eyes. The crown, even in the dim light of the study, shone brightly, casting her features in a glittering, three-dimensional, yet hazy glow.

Lu Yaoyao pressed herself tightly against the door, all too familiar with his silence. She knew that the more he held back, the greater his unspoken desires became.

"Yaoyao." He braced his hands on either side of her, calling her name in a low, restrained voice that sent shivers down her spine.

"Hmm" Her voice was hoarse.

"At 18, do you have any feelings for me" He looked at her, his gaze unwavering.

Lu Yaoyao was struck dumb. After she had put on this crown, she completely forgot that she was pretending to have amnesia, completely forgetting that she was an 18-year-old girl, and her true nature was exposed.

At this point, she coyly said, "You've been very kind to me. I love the flowers and the crown you gave me."

He said, “You like it, that’s fine. Do you know why I gave you this crown”

As he spoke, he gently caressed her cheek with his hand, the tenderness in his eyes almost overwhelming Lu YaoYao. As Ruan Ruan had said, she couldn't keep up this charade for much longer.

She asked, "Why"

“Because you are my princess, and also my queen. No matter if you are 18, or 28, or 38...my love will never change.”

Lu Yao yao's nose felt a sting, she almost wanted to cry and apologize, "I'm sorry, brother."

Fortunately, Gu Ruandong kissed her first.

He still treated her like an 18-year-old girl. This kiss, careful and lingering, swept over every corner of her lips.

Lu Yaoyao kept her arms and hands pressed against the doorframe, too afraid to climb onto him for fear of revealing herself.

He kissed with restraint, his hands honestly only holding her face. Unlike before, when he would kiss while also igniting different parts of her body with his touch.

After a long while, he finally lost control and let go of her. He pressed his forehead against the side of her temple, adjusting his breath. His slightly heavy breathing fell on her ear, beating on her eardrum, falling into her heart.

Lu Yaoyao wasn't really 18 years old. She had long been infatuated, especially when she heard his breathing, she felt an urge to turn her head and offer herself willingly.

She truly didn't expect Gu Ruandong to learn how to control himself at some point. He actually kept his promise and didn't touch her.

He finally adjusted himself, stood straight, and said to her, "I'll send you back to sleep."e, a single line of elegant script:Some flowers bloom high up in the trees.Tinglan recognized these characters. They were a line from the poem "Bride" by the poet Hai Zi. The poem starts with:and many...
