Translator: _Min_

At the auction, the products were not just for display. They would also be auctioned off, going to the highest bidder.

Gu Dai nodded to Su Ting’s reminder and said, “Alright!”

Su Ting then headed backstage.

From a distance, Song Ling watched the exchange between Gu Dai and Su Ting, his eyes darkening.

After Su Ting left, he took long strides toward Gu Dai.

Gu Dai, sensing the movement beside her and looked up in puzzlement. Upon seeing Song Ling, she felt an ominous feeling.

She diverted her gaze and asked coldly, “Can I help you with something?”

Song Ling observed the cold demeanor Gu Dai showed him. He remembered her cheerful smile when she spoke to Su Ting earlier, and a pang of displeasure surged in his heart.

Song Ling took a seat beside Gu Dai, staring ahead, “Do you think I came here just for you?”

Gu Dai slightly furrowed her brows, giving Song Ling a quick glance, “Is this your seat?”

Each seat in the auction hall had a name tag attached. Gu Dai hadn’t paid attention earlier, but she intuitively felt that this was not Song Ling’s designated spot.

Leaning back in his chair, Song Ling confidently replied, “Of course.”

Gu Dai noticed Song Ling’s fingers rubbing together, his eyes slightly narrowed, a gesture he often made when in deep thought.

She softly said, “Can I see the name on the back of the chair?”

Song Ling immediately refused, “No!”

Realizing his reaction was a bit too fervent, he spoke again, “This is my seat. Why should I show you? If you don’t believe me, just wait and see if someone comes to claim it!”

Witnessing Song Ling’s adamant demeanor, Gu Dai couldn’t help but doubt herself. Had she made a mistake?

Just as Gu Dai began to question herself, Zhou Ci’s voice reached her ears.

With long strides, Zhou Ci approached, and slightly annoyed, asked Song Ling, “Why are you sitting here?”

Maintaining an outwardly calm appearance, Song Ling’s finger-rubbing became more frantic. He looked at Zhou Ci, retorting, “Do you have a problem?”

Catching his breath, Zhou Ci said, “I went to find the person assigned to this seat to switch with them. To my surprise, he told me someone bought his spot for a high price. I wondered who it was, and it turns out it was you who bought it!”

Song Ling hadn’t expected Zhou Ci to spill the beans. He tried to stop him, but Zhou Ci spoke too quickly to be interrupted.

Song Ling shot Zhou Ci a glare. Now that the truth was out, especially in front of Gu Dai, he felt embarrassed. He beckoned a server and coldly said, “The auction is about to begin. Ensure that people don’t wander around!”

The server escorted Zhou Ci away and returned him to his seat.

Song Ling glanced sideways at Gu Dai, his voice icy, “I just thought this spot had a better view, so I switched seats. Don’t overthink it.”

Gu Dai acknowledged him, adding, “The auction is starting. Be quiet and stop talking!”

Song Ling wanted to retort, but upon seeing Gu Dai’s emotionless face, he swallowed his words.

However, Gu Dai didn’t believe Song Ling for a second. Instead of the ‘better view’ excuse, she was convinced he switched seats just to irritate her.

It seemed he succeeded; she was truly annoyed.

Yet, Gu Dai soon realized that letting someone as insignificant as Song Ling affect her mood was unnecessary. She decided to treat him as if he were invisible.

With clarity of mind, Gu Dai’s focus shifted to the stage.

Seeing Gu Dai ignore him, Song Ling’s frustration grew, his fingers whitening from clenched tension.

He couldn’t fathom why he had impulsively bought the seat beside her after witnessing her conversation with Su Ting.

The more he lacked answers, the colder his demeanor grew, making him seem like a walking air conditioner.

People nearby felt the chilly aura and instinctively shrunk away, casting wary glances at Song Ling. Upon noticing Gu Dai beside him, unfazed, they felt a surge of admiration for her.

The crimson curtain slowly drew open. After the host’s introductory remarks, the stage was bathed in a gentle light accompanied by soft music.

One by one, models stepped out, showcasing products.

Below the stage, the continuous sounds of bidding rang out. Products were being snapped up at an astonishing speed.

Finally, it was Su Ting’s turn to appear. Gu Dai straightened up, her gaze fixed intently on the stage..
