Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 975: You Have No Idea

Yue Lan was left unable to speak before him. His eyes gave off a very dangerous feeling. The people behind this auction house weren’t someone she could afford to offend and Xia Zhao happened to hold the largest number of shares in this auction house. If he said Yue Yue didn’t need an invitation then she didn’t need it at all.          

    

She snorted, “You’ve learned to use your beauty to hook up with people in power. I never thought you’d stoop this low.”     

Xia Zhao’s jaw tightened as he stared down at her and he called out, “Mrs. Hu, would you like to tell me who you brought with you?”     

Mrs. Hu mustered up her courage and told him, “This is Ms. Yue Lan. She is our party member.”     

Xia Zhao looked at Yue Lan, “Oh, then I think our government doesn’t need people like her. There is no need for her to receive the ticket for the coming elections.”     

Yue Lan gave him a disbelieving look as he raised his hand and said, “Invite these people out. Don’t let me see them again.”     𝒐𝔳𝑙xt.𝗇𝓔t

Soon, security came to invite them out. Although they looked polite when ‘inviting’ them out of there, it was actually a clear slap in their faces since technically, they were being thrown out of the most prestigious auction houses in the country. They didn’t only have branches in one city but all over the country. And being thrown out of one branch meant, they had no right to enter any other branch ever again.     

Once it quietened down, Xia Zhao turned to Yue Yue who was looking at him with sparkling eyes and even gave him a thumbs up, ‘You’re very powerful!’     

Xia Zhao found it quite funny but didn’t smile when he noticed the displeasure on Mu Chenyan’s face. “What’s wrong, Yan Zi?”     

“I can deal with her,” said Mu Chenyan. “We didn’t need your help.”     

“Who said I was helping you?” he questioned in return. “I don’t like troublemakers. I can’t let them ruin my business now, can I?”     

Mu Chenyan snorted in response and he didn’t pay attention to her. Instead, he looked at Yue Yue, “So, shall we go out for the meal?”     

Yue Yue looked at Mu Chenyan before she nodded her head and mouthed, ‘Let’s go.’     

“Yan Zi, do you want to join us?” asked Xia Zhao.      

Mu Chenyan squinted her eyes at him before saying, “Or else? Am I gonna let you take my girlfriend alone? Do you think I trust you that much?”     

Xia Zhao nodded his head, “I know. I know that you don’t trust me that much.” He turned to walk out saying, “Let’s go then before the sun goes down.”     

Yue Yue pinched Mu Chenyan’s arm, ‘Can’t you talk nicely for once? Why do you keep trying to hurt him?’     

Mu Chenyan looked confused, “When did I? I’m definitely not trying to hurt him. You’re thinking too much.”     

They went to get their car when Xia Zhao found Xin Zimen trying to put Xiu into the car but that girl was really stubborn. She ran around the parking space in circles and refused to budge.     

“Little lass, you better get here before I get mad!”     

Xiu looked at her father, “You can’t get mad at me, Ah-Xin!”     

Xin Zimen rubbed his forehead, “And that’s what you’re taking advantage of?”     

“When someone is letting you take advantage, you should take it. No need to be shy about it. You know, if my mum hadn’t taken advantage of you, you won’t have three kids!”     

Xia Zhao touched his nose when he saw this and asked raising his voice, “Brother Zi, do you need help?”     

Xin Zimen looked over at Xia Zhao and sighed, “Can you help me get her into the car?”     

“Xiu, how about you listen to your dad,” said Xia Zhao as he faced Xiu. “I’ll send you a package of white wine made with my clan’s secret recipe. It’s a treasure you can’t miss out on.”         

    

“Is it tasty?” asked Xiu.     

“Oh, you’d love it,” said Xia Zhao.     

She walked to him and held up her pinky finger, “Pinky promise?”     

Xia Zhao smiled at her and hooked her finger, “Pinky promise!”     

“Cross your heart,” she added.     

Xia Zhao patiently made a cross on his chest and she was finally satisfied, “Uncle, I’ll believe you. I have faith in you.” And they watched her getting into the car obediently and she even strapped her own seat belt like a good law-abiding citizen. “Daddy, I’m sleepy.”     

“Finally,” muttered Xin Zimen in distress. “No wonder Regan says not to let her get drunk when he isn’t around. Only he can handle her in this state.”     

“Brother Zi, I think it’s just that you’re old now,” said Xia Zhao.      

“How is he old?” came Mu Chenyan’s voice from behind. Then she smiled sweetly at Xin Zimen, “Zimen Ge, I didn’t know you were here.”     

“This little lass wanted to see the auction,” replied Xin Zimen. “I can’t stay for long. I have to take her back home because now she is sleepy.”     

“Oh, go ahead,” said Mu Chenyan. Xia Zhao looked at her well-behaved appearance and turned his face away. He really couldn’t see this sight of her. It burned his eyes.     

As Xin Zimen was getting in the car, the window rolled down and Xiu leaned over as she waved at Mu Chenyan, “It’s Aunt Feifei’s friend! We met the other day. Hi!”     

“Hi!” Mu Chenyan waved back at Su Feifei’s niece who was completely different from how she met her the last time.     

“Aunt Feifei’s friend, your name is Mu Chenyan?”      

“Yes.”     

Xiu looked meaningfully at Xia Zhao who cleared his throat trying to avoid her gaze.      

“Let’s see each other again when I’m sober Xiu. For now, Wine Xiu has a message for you, Uncle Zhao.”     

“There is more?” asked Xia Zhao.     

“Uncle Zhao, you have a good choice!” she gave him a thumbs-up. “Me likey! Good luck!”     

“Thanks!”     

Xiu waved at them with both hands as Xin Zimen pulled her back inside and closed the window. Mu Chenyan couldn’t help saying, “She’s a handful.”     

“You have no idea,” said Xia Zhao.
