Lu Bei let out a silent sigh of relief.
His outfit was finally chosen. He was free now. Who would have thought that in the next second, Xiang Xiaoyuan would rub her hands together and say, “Come, let’s go and pick a watch.”
The handsome boy who usually only wore t-shirts and casual clothes had his appearance rose to a whole new level under her meticulous makeover. This kind of feeling could not be expressed with words.
Of course, she was looking forward to entering Lu Wanggui’s cloakroom to take a look.
Xiang Xiaoyuan had a good sense of propriety. She would not enter Lu Wanggui’s study nor his cloakroom as they were private domains.
This time, she had obtained Lu Wanggui’s permission in advance, so she openly brought Lu Bei to his cloakroom to choose a watch. Lu Bei also had watches, but they were all meant for sports and didn’t match his suit.
The two of them went to Lu Wanggui’s cloakroom and Xiang Xiaoyuan took a quick glance. Lu Wanggui’s cloakroom was a paradise for those with OCD. The clothes were arranged very neatly and hung according to season and color. The colors matched too. They were all black, white, and gray.
In the deepest part of the cloakroom, there was a very exquisite black glass cabinet. It was divided into two levels, and there were all kinds of watches on them. Xiang Xiaoyuan did not know much about watches, but with her limited knowledge, she knew that the watches inside were all valuable.
Lu Wanggui was older. Most of his watches were not suitable for Lu Bei. Xiang Xiaoyuan carefully took one watch after another, and finally found a watch that was suitable for Lu Bei.
Lu Bei changed into his suit, put on his leather shoes and his watch. When he stood under the lights, Xiang Xiaoyuan was very satisfied. No wonder the male lead in most idol dramas liked to bring girls to buy clothes. They probably felt proud.
The current Lu Bei looked very different from when he was wearing casual clothes. She finally saw why he was the male lead of a romantic novel.
He gave Xiang Xiaoyuan a thumbs up. “Super handsome!”
Lu Bei felt a little embarrassed.
Xiang Xiaoyuan stood up and walked around him twice. Then, she sighed from the bottom of her heart. “Now I finally believe that you are the campus belle of your school.”
Lu Bei: “...”
So you didn’t believe it before?
Finally, it was the day of the charity dinner. The three of them sat in the car and were heading to the venue. Although the car was very spacious and the back seat was more than enough for three people, Lu Bei still did not want to sit in the back seat with Lu Wanggui and Xiang Xiaoyuan. He tactfully opened the door of the passenger seat.
Lu Wanggui muttered, “There will be a small auction at the charity banquet. You can hold the placard.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan was stunned. Then she got a little excited.
It was her first time participating in such an auction. She had only seen it on TV before.
“What will they be auctioning?” Xiang Xiaoyuan asked.
“There might be jewelry, calligraphy, and paintings.” Lu Wanggui was calm and composed. “If there’s anything you like, raise the placard and bid for it.”
“Then... what’s the upper limit?”
Xiang Xiaoyuan knew that this kind of auction was for charity. Rich people were not stupid. They always had a price in their hearts.
She was very curious about what Lu Wanggui’s upper limit was.
“Upper limit?”
This was probably the first time Lu Wanggui had heard this word. After he understood what she meant, he said, “There is no upper limit.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan’s heart jumped. She was caught off guard by this man again.
After thinking for a while, she asked again, “If we don’t bid for any of them, is that okay?” She felt that this kind of charity banquet was a scam in disguise. It was possible that an item was originally worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. If it was bid up to four million yuan, then she’d be spending four million or more on it?
Although she was spending Lu Wanggui’s money, the feeling of being taken advantage of was still unpleasant.
Lu Wanggui looked at her from the side.
Xiang Xiaoyuan explained, “Sometimes I think it’s better to just buy a new one. If there are some things that I don’t think are worth that price, can we not bid on them?”
Lu Wanggui couldn’t help but laugh, and Lu Bei, who was sitting in the front row, laughed as well.
Xiang Xiaoyuan was angered. “Guys, are my words that funny?”
She was a simple commoner, not a millionaire. Wasn’t it normal for her to have such thoughts?! In the past, when she was online shopping, she would get angry when she saw the prices of things that she had bought not long ago go down!
Lu Wanggui comforted her gently, “Just do as you see fit. If you want to bid, just do it. If you see something you like, there’s no price limit.”
Lu Wanggui displayed amazing patience towards Xiang Xiaoyuan, which also made Lu Bei, who was sitting in the front row, understood one thing about his father: His wife was more important than his son.
