The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 221: Chapter 221: While the Sandpiper and the Clam Dispute, Pei Jue Benefits Chapter 221: Chapter 221: While the Sandpiper and the Clam Dispute, Pei Jue Benefits Under the bright streetlights, two shadows descended.

Under the overlapping lights and shadows, it looked as if they were intimately nestled together.

This peculiar, enchanting sensation, along with the voice still echoing in Qingwu’s ear, caused her heart to skip a beat suddenly…

It must have been because she was too ruthless when beating someone earlier, the excessive exercise led to an accelerated heart rate!

Qingwu calmed her mind and retracted her gaze.

She strode towards the car on one side, “I’m going to the underground auction.”

Pei Jue naturally followed beside Qingwu, opening the driver’s seat.

“Then I’ll take my fiancée there. I heard there are some pretty good messages today, we should still have time.”

His wrist was wrapped in gauze, and although it wasn’t seriously injured, he wasn’t in the condition to drive.

As a doctor, Qingwu didn’t want to see something happen to her patient in front of her.

Qingwu pressed down on Pei Jue’s hand, “Sit on the side, I’ll drive.”

“I remember, my fiancée hasn’t passed her driving test yet?”

Qingwu had already pushed Pei Jue into the passenger seat, skillfully fastening her seatbelt, and looked steadily ahead.

“The road to the underground auction is quite hidden, it’s okay.”

The underground auction hidden in the depths of the city was originally a gray area, in that place, no one cared about the law!

Moreover, that underground auction was hidden just behind Beidou Star’s underground boxing arena, with all the surrounding surveillance controlled by Beidou Star.

Stepping on the accelerator, Qingwu drove the car away!

Pei Jue watched Qingwu with admiration, even when she was focused on driving, she was still so cute!

…

Half an hour later, at the underground auction.

Qingwu opened the storage box in the car and took out two masks, handing one to Pei Jue.

She reached up and put on the mask on her face, and the strap was naturally taken over by Pei Jue, his slender fingers quickly tying a knot behind Qingwu’s head.

Pei Jue carefully checked the mask, ensuring that Qingwu’s face wouldn’t be exposed before he was relieved!

“Thank you.”

“If you want to express gratitude, fiancée, then help me put it on too.”

This reason really left Qingwu no room to refuse, so she returned the favor.

She took the mask from Pei Jue’s hand and helped him tie the strap.

Pei Jue chuckled lightly and took Qingwu’s hand.

“Let’s go, I just saw a few familiar people, tonight might be interesting.”

“Pei Family people?”

The girl beside him wore a simple and elegant outfit, her demeanor carrying a touch of coldness, exuding an aura of aloofness and indifference.

Her hair, like clouds and mist, was tied with a hairpin, revealing her slender, fair neck, her presence powerful like a queen.

Even with a mask on her face, she still caught the attention of many passing by!

Pei Jue discreetly blocked those prying gazes, “Yes, probably interested in those messages tonight too.”

It was normal for people from the Pei Family to frequent the underground auction, as tonight’s event had been hyped for a long time, the invitation had been sent to him last month.

Only Pei Jue knew that Qingwu would certainly come too, so rather than attending this dangerous auction himself, he preferred to follow by her side.

Every time he saw her, Pei Jue’s all attention would fixate on Qingwu, unwilling to look away for even a minute…

A staff member in a cheongsam respectfully faced the two of them.

Seeing the invitation in their hands and their poised demeanor, the staff knew they were extraordinary!

Those who could enter this underground auction were either rich or noble, none they could afford to offend.

“Please follow me, distinguished guests.”

Following the staff to a small private room, to ensure the safety of each guest, the door of the room even had a curtain.

The staff handed over an electronic screen.

“Tonight’s auction, if the two distinguished guests are interested in something, you can directly bid on the screen.”

“The prices of all suites will be displayed on it, ensuring your privacy throughout.”

Qingwu nodded, “Thank you.”

Once the staff left, the curtain of the small private room was drawn, and the room was somewhat dimly lit.

Pei Jue took off his mask and set it aside, his slender fingers absently stroking Qingwu’s hair.

Qingwu frowned slightly, “You’re messing up my hair.”

She had originally pinned her hair up, but with Pei Jue’s two strokes, her strands were now slightly messy, yet he still had an innocent look on his face!

Qingwu was a bit speechless, how could this man be so childish?

How old was he, and he still enjoyed playing with hair!

Pei Jue glanced at Qingwu’s hair strands, “Then let me help my fiancée tidy it up.”

He reached for the hairpin on Qingwu’s head, gently running his fingers through her smooth hair, and re-pinning it.

Only now, the hairpin on Qingwu’s head was clearly not the same as before…

Pei Jue looked satisfied with his handiwork, his eyes filled with a finely fragmented, tender smile.

He had long wanted to change this hairpin, knowing that his fiancée was someone who wasn’t good at expressing herself but cherished long-lasting things very much.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have kept using the hairpin Shen Zhongshuang had given after receiving it!

She treasured family in her own way.

But he also hoped that what she wore on her head could be a hairpin he made!

Qingwu didn’t notice that the hairpin on her head had already been swapped.

She was focused on the electronic screen in front of her.

“It seems the incident at the last auction was too significant, combined with the importance of today’s messages, so they’ve changed the auction model.”

“Are you referring to the incident when someone robbed auction items outside the auction house last time, causing two gangs to be completely wiped out?”

This information wasn’t a secret in their circle.

Robbing auction items was not unheard of, but rarely caused such a huge stir.

Pei Jue tugged at the tie around his neck, sitting in a more comfortable position on the sofa.

He placed one hand behind Qingwu, looking almost as if he was half-embracing her.

“Do you want to know who ended up with that item?”

“You know?”

“Of course, after all, the information about that auction item was confidential, it wasn’t easy for those two gangs to get the intel and rush over in time.”

Facing Pei Jue’s somewhat cold smile, Qingwu then understood.

“Did you leak the information?”

“It was I, after all, they were both Pei Clan’s own gangs, let’s just say it was helping me tidy up the house.”

The Pei Family was vast, with a dozen or so large and small gangs, for Pei Jue to completely control the family, he needed to clear all those away!

Qingwu looked up at the man in front of her.

The lighting in the small private room was dim, with only a small lamp, casting a warm glow on his handsome face.

“I guess it’s a case of two dogs fighting for a bone, and a third dog running away with the prize.”

Since Pei Jue asked like this, it certainly meant the item ended up in his possession!

“Smart, no wonder you’re my fiancée! As a reward, tonight, whatever you want to buy, I’ll pay for it.”

Qingwu averted her gaze.

Why did this man always want to reward her?

Was it because he had too much money to spend, or was he just too idle?
