My Little Sweet Wife

The next day, Old Man Xian was invited to the Military Event. Xian Zihao was included in the group, but he did not plan to attend. Instead, he took Jiang Ruolan to participate in a big charity auction under the name "National Contribution Light".

When they arrived outside the auction house, Jiang Ruolan looked at the surrounding cars and couldn't help but say, "It seems that the origins of the people who came to participate in the auction are not small. Does this mean this auction has all kinds of treasures from foreign countries? Are their treasures equivalent to the cultural heritage in our country?"

"More or less." Xian Zihao smiled faintly.

"Why are we here?" From what Jiang Ruolan remembered, Xian Zihao was not someone who was interested in the country's treasure. Why did he reject the Military Equipment Board's invitation and came here?

At this time, someone outside the auction hall saw Xian Zihao and he quickly came forward to greet him. His faces were full of smiles as he shook hands with Xian Zihao. "Aiya, President Xian, long time no see!"

"Although it has been a long time since we last met, Guild Leader Qian is still in high spirits!" Xian Zihao smiled and shook hands with Qian Guang. When his gaze shifted to Jiang Ruolan beside him, Xian Zihao calmly smiled and said, "This is my wife, Jiang Ruolan."

"So it's President Xian's wife! My apologies for not recognizing you!" Qian Guang quickly pointed to the venue behind them, "President Xian, Miss Jiang, this way, please. Please come in. After knowing that President Xian intends to come, I ordered people to prepare the best seats closest to the stands. I will arrange for people to lead the way for you."

Jiang Ruolan also smiled and nodded at him.

"Thank you and I'm sorry for troubling you, Guild Leader Qian." Before they walked in, Jiang Ruolan politely thanked Qian Guang.

"The fact that President Xian was able to come to my humble was already a recognition to us. Come in quickly, the auction will begin in half an hour." Guild Leader Qian said with a smile.

Jiang Ruolan immediately looked around as the two of them entered the hall. This hall did not look large from the outside, but she did not expect to enter such a magnificent place. There were many well-known officials and dignitaries in the crowd ahead, and there were also many higher-ranking leaders.

When they arrived at the seats that Guild Leader Qian had arranged for them, Jiang Ruolan saw that the top sandalwood shelves were empty but were covered by a layer of red silk. The facilities surrounding the grandstands seemed to be tightly controlled, and ordinary people were unable to rush up onto the grandstands to seize the treasures.

This was her first time entering a venue like this, especially a large-scale auction like this one. Half an hour later, at the beginning of the auction, an old man sat down next to the two of them. The Old Man was in his sixties, but he calmly held a cane like Old Man Xian, and he even turned to them. Jiang Ruolan had never seen the old man before.

What was going on?

She was stunned for a moment. Then, she saw the corners of Xian Zihao's mouth slightly twitch when he saw the overbearing old man sitting next to her.

Jiang Ruolan realized that something wasn't right. When she looked back at the Old Man, he had already disappeared!

What in the world was going on?!

Jiang Ruolan was surprised, but when she saw Xian Zihao's calm expression, as if nothing had happened, she couldn't help but shiver inwardly. She wondered if she hadn't slept well last night. She shook her head and tried to focus her attention on the stand.

Today, there were five national relics that flowed to China 20 years ago on display, and three of them were given by the wife of the Brazilian's President.

When the host mentioned the purple crystal necklace, Jiang Ruolan's expression did not change, but her hand was clenched into a fist as the doubts in her heart grew even stronger.

"This purple crystal necklace is among the five national relics shipped to China 20 years ago. This crystal contains a large amount of mineral energy, and it is one of the greatest crystals with an auction price of 30 million RMB."

The host also explained the secret behind the purple crystal. Back then, the President of Brazil and his wife owned the national treasure, so it was very special. They used special instruments to check the crystal's age, and they found out that this crystal formed for hundreds of millions of years beneath the surface.

It was one of the most precious natural crystals in Brazil.

"I need to go to the bathroom." While everyone else was listening attentively, Jiang Ruolan suddenly said in a low voice.

After that, she left her handbag by Xian Zihao's side. However, she took out her phone as she left the room and walked towards the restroom.

Jiang Ruolan hurriedly headed back to the private room since she still wanted to listen to the purple crystal secret. But when she arrived at the door, she was surprised to meet the Old Man who sat beside them.

She stopped and looked at the Old Man in front of her with a surprised expression on her face. His eyebrows were extremely thick, but he was glaring at her.

"Mr....You …Can I help you?" Jiang Ruolan didn't know how she had offended him.

Who knew that the Old Man would suddenly grab her wrist. Just as she was about to struggle free from his grasp, he carefully examined her for a moment. In the end, he unhappily patted her shoulder. "Too thin."

Jiang Ruolan's hair stood on end from his gaze, and goosebumps rose all over her body. She couldn't help but want to shake him off, but she began to wonder if this was some old man from some influential family with senile dementia or something. Why was he looking at her with such a gaze?

"You… Did you recognize the wrong person? "She whispered a question.

In the end, the Old Man held on his cane and looked at her seriously without saying a word.

Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but rubbed the goosebumps on her arm, "Old sir, you... What's the matter?"

"Don't move, let me see." The Old Man was still looking at her.

Jiang Ruolan's eyelids twitched. "What are you looking at?"

The Old Man shook his head. "Tsk, tsk. What eyes does this kid have?"

His voice sounded as if his son had married an ugly wife, making Jiang Ruolan angry. She didn't care about how old he was; she shook him off and said, "Grandpa, your illness needs treatment!"

With that, she was about to push the door open when the Old Man's voice sounded behind her again.

"The wife of my disciple, you haven't even passed my stage yet. What kind of granddaughter-in-law are you?"

It was simply the same as a chicken talking to a duck!

Forcefully enduring the thunderous roar, Jiang Ruolan turned her head to look at the laughing elder and asked, "Who is your disciple's wife?"

Xian Zihao seemed to have predicted that she would be entangled by this strange old man as he walked out of the room at the right time. The Old Man then raised his cane and pointed in Xian Zihao's direction. "He is my disciple."

Jiang Ruolan turned her head in shock. Xian Zihao was looking at her with a calm smile. She couldn't help but point at the Old Man and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Xian Zihao pulled her hand down with a faint smile. In a low voice that only she could hear, he said, "He was the Asian Rogue Champion from six years ago. When I was seven or eight years old, he began to teach me how to fight. He has a weird personality, so don't mind him."
