It was all too late.
After three bids and no one else followed, the woman on stage brought down the gavel.
This four million yuan agarwood bracelet belonged to Ji Yanli.
Su Yu gritted his teeth.
"You're really willing to spend so much. Chairman Yang is grinning from ear to ear."
Yang Fanchi was also excited by the bidding.
He excitedly turned his head to look at the two of them, and his drowsiness was greatly relieved.
"Damn, this is the first time I've been so excited."
Su Yu silently rolled his eyes in his heart. Of course you're excited.
It's your dad who's making the money.
[I really want to take some money from President Ji's pocket to spend...]
[Would the world die if there were one more rich person like me?!]
[My iced Americano doesn't taste good anymore. If a man like President Ji fell from the sky, I would be willing to drive a luxury car and live in a mansion.]
"Don't you have a bracelet on your wrist? What do you want it for? Wearing a bunch of beads to prepare for meditation and enlightenment?"
Su Yu casually glanced at his wrist with the bracelet on it.
This was the first time he had seen the beads up close.
Although the beads had a warm luster, there were some fine scratches and scuffs on them, barely noticeable unless you looked closely but they seemed familiar.
Before he could examine them closely, Ji Yanli reached for the wine glass on the table, the beads disappearing into his sleeve as he raised his hand.
Seeing him about to drink, Su Yu reached out and snatched the glass from his hand.
"Don't drink anymore, drink less."
He then remembered what the comments had said before, that Ji Yanli had stomach problems, and for some reason, he instinctively reached out to stop him.
Ji Yanli's free fingers curled slightly, then he lowered his hand his eyes deep reflecting the room's lights.
"Wife, you care about me?"
[Su Yu is a very good wife...]
[Is President Ji secretly thrilled that his wife is concerned about his health for the first time, instead of Song Yanchu?]
[Oh right, I remember once when Su Yu reminded Song Yanchu to drink less, President Ji's eyes could kill!]
Su Yu was stunned. He looked at his hands and suddenly didn't recognize himself.
He seemed to have never paid attention to what Ji Yanli was doing before, but had always focused on Song Yanchu.
What was wrong with him?
Ji Yanli didn't speak, but just stared intently at him until the auction ended and everyone left, the two of them still sitting in their chairs.
Yang Fanchi was about to get up when he saw one of them with a serious expression, as if he was thinking about something with a deep-seated grudge, while the other was staring at him without moving an inch.
"You...aren't you leaving?"
Su Yu took a deep breath and waved his hand: "You go first."
"Okay then, remember to check the message when you get back."
Although he was disappointed, Yang Fanchi originally wanted to stay with them, but Ji Yanli's gaze made him feel uneasy, so he could only leave a quick sentence and slip away.
Everyone in the venue had left, and there was no reason for them to stay any longer.
It was already past midnight when they finished the pickup process and returned to the car.
The night was deep, and although it was a summer night, it was still cool.
Su Yu naturally continued to sit in the passenger seat.
Ji Yanli didn't rush to start the car, but instead picked up the exquisite wooden box he had just bought for four million.
Seeing that the man wanted to inspect the goods in the car, Su Yu raised an eyebrow.
"Why open it here? Open it when we get back, it's so late."
Was he in such a hurry?
"Because I wanted to give it to you as soon as possible."
Ji Yanli opened the wooden box, and the heavy string of beads inside was placed on a soft velvet cloth.
When he took it out, Su Yu hadn't yet realized what the man's words meant.
He was too sleepy, his head was a little dizzy.
His wrist was grasped by a warm hand, a large hand wrapped around the string of beads and pushed it into his wrist, adding a weight.
Su Yu's eyes were fixed on the string of beads on his wrist, then he looked up at Ji Yanli, meeting his gaze in those deep, ocean-like eyes.
His heart skipped a beat.
"What do you mean?"
He almost couldn't find his tongue, and his words were numb.
Ji Yanli withdrew his fingers, his hand lingering on the back of Su Yu's hand as he left.
"Wife, this was originally for you."
"For me? Why? Ji Yanli, what do you mean by this?"
Su Yu felt his arm feel incredibly heavy for the first time.
The watch Su Zhaofeng had bought would be locked in a drawer like the other things he had given Su Yan, but this item, which he had bought from Su Yan for four million more, was now in his hands.
He couldn't bear it.
Su Yu reached out to take off the bead and return it to its rightful owner, but Ji Yanli gripped his wrist tightly.
The two faced each other, one breathing rapidly, their breaths mingling, making it impossible to tell who was who.
"Ji Yanli, I don't want it!"
Su Yu cried out anxiously, trying to break free, but his grip tightened.
"Why? Don't you like it?"
Ji Yanli's voice was deep, the night concealing his true expression.
Su Yu tried to argue, feeling his earlobes and cheeks burning.
Thankfully, it was night.
"First of all, it's not worth four million at all. Besides, you've already bought it, why don't you just take it back and wear it yourself? What are you giving it to me for?"
It's laughable, Su Yu probably doesn't even have forty thousand yuan on him right now.
Is something worth four million?
"Su Yu."
A steady voice called his name, inexplicably calming his inner turmoil.
Ji Yanli's thumb rubbed the protruding bone on his wrist. It was a little thin, and beneath the thin skin, a pulse throbbed, strong and excited.
"This string of beads is worth it, and you are too."
Even though no one heard his inner thoughts, he answered: he was worth it.
Su Yu was stunned. Several minutes passed, and he didn't recover until the car started and slowly drove along the road.
The music continued to flow softly.
His gaze involuntarily fell on the heavy string of beads on his wrist.
Actually, he didn't know whether it was beautiful or not; he just felt it felt very smooth to the touch.
"Wife, don't give it back to me. Consider it an early birthday present."
Ji Yanli spoke slowly as he drove.
"I heard it can bring good luck, you should keep it safe."
Good luck, a birthday present.
Two things he'd never received before, both from Ji Yanli.
Who was Ji Yanli? His former nemesis…
[With that kind of emotional intelligence, what wife couldn't he win over? CEO Ji should write a book!]
[I don't know how to put it, but I always feel like CEO Ji's amnesia is the same as not having amnesia, except for a slight change in personality.]
[Amnesia or not, it makes no difference, because he's always loved Su Yu.]
[Oh dear, let me see if Su Yu is moved to tears.]
Moved my foot!
Su Yu secretly sniffed, feeling his eyes getting hot.
He turned his head to look out the window.
"Ji Yanli, open the window, it's so hot."
He heard Ji Yanli's laughter faintly in his ear.
"Okay, wife."
Damn, so annoying, Ji Yanli is so annoying.
