keep the moon

Chapter 26

Li Xiao sent him all the way back to his seat, and when he took his seat, the other party couldn't avoid saying hello to Draper.

"My lord, long time no see."

Draper watched his omega being sent back by such an alpha, his eyes darkened.

"Well, long time no see, Li Xiao."

A deep and laughing voice sounded beside Jiang Shouyue. Hearing the greeting from the two, he realized that the two seemed to have known each other before.

"Haha, I really didn't expect you, the Duke, to come to my place. If I have time, I will definitely show you and your wife a good tour."

Li Xiao speaks freely and gracefully. Compared to the royal family, these rich businessmen don't seem to have much airs.

"Next time, I just took Shouyue to take a look today."

Draper refused very simply. The Duke had already said so, but Li Xiao couldn't say anything else. The second half of the auction was about to start, so he could only bow down to Jiang Shouyue and the others before leaving. up.

Seeing the figure of the man leaving, Jiang Shouyue turned to look at Draper, wondering if it was his illusion, Draper didn't seem happy to see this person.

"what happened?"

Feeling the slightly puzzled eyes of the omega beside him, Draper put away the thoughts in his eyes, raised a warm smile and asked the other party.

Jiang Shouyue calmly withdrew her gaze:

"It's just that you don't seem to like the man just now, Duke."

"Like or dislike is not very important to me."

Draper folded his hands in his lap and smiled slightly,

"As long as it doesn't conflict with what I want, then feelings are casual."

"Then if there is a conflict, can you do anything, Duke?"

Jiang Shouyue was silent for a moment, and suddenly popped up such a question, and his tone was very serious, even a little cold.

Draper looked at Jiang Shouyue's black and soft hair from top to bottom, and moved his fingertips, but in the end he just spoke:

"Of course, I'll do anything."

After getting an affirmative answer, Jiang Shouyue gritted his teeth suddenly. Could it be understood that the guard was killed because he conflicted with Draper's interests?

But as a bodyguard, how could he affect the interests of the Duke of Suoyaodu District?

Jiang Shouyue suddenly felt that the guard's death was not that simple.

But he doesn't even know the guard's name...

Jiang Shouyue once again had the idea of ​​giving up on himself, what is he still thinking about writing?Wouldn't it be good to kill Draper earlier?

With his current strength, what qualifications does he have to compete against the people around him?

My mind was in a mess, but I heard Draper suddenly say:

"Shouyue, take a photo of the next item for me."

Listening to Draper's words, Jiang Shouyue finally refocused on the auction stage in the middle.

The previous auction item had just been removed, and then the next auction item was presented on the stage.

It was a brooch.

The host's loud and clear voice also began to introduce the auctioned item.

"This brooch comes from the Windsor family, a former aristocratic family in Suoyaodu District. The whole piece is in the shape of a snowflake and is handcrafted. It has been passed down from generation to generation in the Windsor family. It is inlaid with several sapphires, and the center of the snowflake in the middle is connected by an agate. The workmanship is peculiar... The starting price is 20 Soyao coins."

As soon as the host finished speaking, someone in the audience raised their cards first.

"No. 30, 32 million."

"No. 19, 44 million."

"No. 57, 56 million."

……

There were quite a few rich people who came to this auction, and obviously not a few were interested in this brooch.

Jiang Shouyue suddenly felt that the pressure of competition had increased.

But this is what Draper told him to do after all...

Jiang Shouyue hesitated for a while, then raised his card too.

"No. 18, 128 million."

It seems that because Jiang Shouyue raised his card for the first time, his eyes suddenly focused on him again. I don't know if it was Jiang Shouyue's own illusion. Since he raised his card, there seem to be fewer people competing, but there are also people Still competing.

"No. 30, 140 million."

"No. 56, 152 million."

……

Jiang Shouyue only felt that he was holding up his cards all the time. Even though his face was expressionless, his tightly furrowed brows still revealed his nervousness.

The amount soon exceeded 1000 million, and there were only a few people competing with Jiang Shouyue.

Jiang Shouyue didn't look back, and he didn't know who these people were. All he could do was keep raising his cards, and persisted until the end.

Everyone can see what Draper's omega is doing. Some people let go early because of Draper's status, but there are also those who are bold and even loathe the Jiang family are still fighting Jiang Shouyue.

It seemed that Jiang Shouyue could persist for so long, and no one knew that Jiang Shouyue did it because of the Duke's idea.

Jiang Shouyue raised the sign mechanically, ignoring the fiery gazes on his back.

"Shouyue, keep adding."

Realizing the obvious nervousness of the omega beside him, Draper stretched out his hand to cover the back of the other's other hand, his words were deeply bewitching,

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"I'm not afraid."

For some reason, Jiang Shouyue felt as if he was fighting against him for the first time in his life. He knew that if he lost this time, it might really become a grudge in his heart.

Jiang Shouyue held up the placard with a decisive and serious look, and the alpha on the side was no longer in the stands, but turned his face to the side and quietly admired his omega's hard work.

Normally, Jiang Shouyue was as cold as a cold moon, as if she didn't care about anything and didn't care about anything, but at this moment, there was a stubbornness and self-willedness that the other party didn't usually have on that beautiful face.

As Draper usually said to the other party: You were born on a high ground, so why should you restrain your own light.

This was himself that even Jiang Shouyue had never seen before.

From start to finish exudes awe-inspiring aura and dazzling light.

"On the 18th, 1820 million once, 1820 million twice... 1820 million three times! Deal!"

In the host's determined and high-spirited words, Jiang Shouyue finally came back to his senses. After realizing that he had won, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was surprised and distressed.

Jiang Shouyue, you really... bought a brooch for 1820 million?

Jiang Shouyue, who originally wanted to attribute everything to her impulsive consumption, suddenly heard a chuckle from the person next to her, and turned her head to look at him in confusion. Unexpectedly, the next moment, Draper leaned over and kissed him lightly under everyone's gaze forehead.

"It's amazing, Shouyue, you really didn't disappoint me."

Draper smiled and praised in Jiang Shouyue's ear.

"I bought a brooch with 1820 million... Really, I don't understand you rich people."

Jiang Shouyue held his forehead with a dazed expression, and finally sighed helplessly.

If this money is placed on ordinary people, they may be able to live safely and securely for several lifetimes.

"Don't blame yourself, after all, this is what I told you to do."

Draper continued to comfort his omega,

"Trust me, what you've done today is worth far more than it is worth."

Jiang Shouyue knew that this was just the other party's words to comfort him, but the other party's tone of voice was too serious, coupled with those deep blue eyes, Jiang Shouyue couldn't refute at all, and finally could only nod obediently.

He didn't expect Draper to say that.

There was actually a dinner after the auction, but Draper obviously didn't plan to bring Jiang Shouyue here for a long time.

But because he was a duke, even if he left, there would still be some rich merchants and nobles who came to say hello. Draper put his arm around Jiang Shouyue and looked at those people with a slightly cold face.

"My lord, I didn't expect to meet you here."

The man in front of him had blond hair, and his amber pupils made him even more attractive. He was not dressed like a wealthy businessman, but rather like a royal family. He noticed Jiang Shouyue's gaze, and the other party nodded politely at Jiang Shouyue.

"Hello, ma'am."

"Hello."

Jiang Shouyue didn't know the other party, so he could only respond politely.

But soon Draper informed him of the other party's identity.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

Draper called the other party's name, but did not salute, which shows that Draper's status in the royal family is high.

The second prince...Mars.Lancaster?

Jiang Shouyue had heard about the other party, but only heard that the other party was obviously a member of the royal family, but had a good relationship with Shang Fu, so it was no wonder that the other party appeared here.

You must know that Shangfu is a very subtle existence in Suoyaodu District. Most of the royal family looks down on Shangfu, and Shangfu also looks down on Legion and Jiang's family. It is a strange chain of contempt.

"Just now I saw the same item with my wife, I would like to apologize to my wife first."

Although Mars said that, he couldn't actually see any apology, and Jiang Shouyue also realized that he was the one who had been competing with him just now.

"It's okay, I still want to thank you, Your Highness."

Of course, Jiang Shouyue would not be so stupid as to accept the other party's apology safely. She just snatched it from the other party for so long, and finally snatched it. Isn't this also a slap in the face of the other party?

"Haha, it's because I don't have enough financial resources, but I really didn't expect Madam to want this brooch from the Windsor family."

As if Mars mentioned it inadvertently,

"After all, the Windsor family is famous for curses, Madam, you should be careful."

After all, it was convenient to leave, and it seemed that he came to say hello just to say these words.

But Jiang Shouyue felt strange about this. What does it mean to be famous with curses?What does the Windsor family have to do with him?

Jiang Shouyue was puzzled, but he didn't want to ask Draper, so he could only treat it as the other party's nonsense.

Jiang Shouyue was a little tired on the way back, and the car was extremely quiet, and finally fell asleep leaning on Draper's shoulder.

Draper looked at the omega leaning on his shoulder with closed eyes, his quiet and obedient appearance made his eyes more affectionate.

"If it takes a long time, go around twice more."

The Duke said in a low voice.
