They are all bad women!

"I'm going to be away for a while, at least two months, and I won't be coming back."

After their passionate lovemaking, Xiao Xingshuang lay limp on the bed, breathing slowly.

"Two months? Where are you going? Don't you get leave every month?" Shen Mochen was taken aback. "If it's for medical expenses..."

"...on secondment".

"On secondment?"

"I was temporarily seconded to another unit for a mission and won't be back for two months."

"Okay, where will you be temporarily transferred to? Is it dangerous?"

"Don't worry, there's no danger."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back. I promise I'll give you a surprise," Shen Mochen said softly.

Xiao Xingshuang smiled weakly, not taking it seriously, and pointed to the small iron box on the bedside table: "There is money in this box. You can use it as you like when I'm not here."

"……Um."

"I want to go home so much..." Xiao Xingshuang stared blankly at the ceiling. "I love you."

"We'll go home, I'll take you home."

Shen Mochen hugged Xiao Xingshuang tenderly and whispered his assurance.

Xiao Xingshuang smiled silently, a hint of deathly grayness rising in her dark eyes.

……

"Ladies, welcome to the second week's surprise! As per our previous rules, it's direct bidding, with the starting price still at one million!"

Ivan remained enthusiastic and was not affected at all by the decrease in distinguished guests this week.

"Yelena, haven't you been complaining all week about how Mr. Ivan cheated you out of five million, saying you'd beat his bald head to a pulp and never come to Heaven again? Why are you here earlier than anyone else today?"

"Haha, is this the first time you've met Yelena? Everyone knows her nickname: the treacherous and cunning Yelena!"

"I wasn't interested in this at first, but after seeing Yelena's energetic performance this week, I decided to join in the fun!"

This time, only five people came to the private room, less than half the number from last time. Everyone, including Ivan, knew why.

Yelena's expressive performance successfully deceived most people. However, not everyone was fooled; a small group saw through her trick. Of course, even those who saw through it remained silent, as fewer competitors are better for everyone.

Yelena leaned back on the sofa with a smile, continuing her pretense: "Don't misunderstand, I just wanted to see who could be so foolish as to be deceived by Ivan a second time!"

A woman raised her hand: "Mr. Sheremetev, you must have heard about what Irina has done this week. I suggest you disqualify her from this auction!"

"agree!"

Ivan chuckled, seemingly unconcerned: "Haha, all guests are welcome, and we won't turn away any of them! Now, the auction has begun!"

"Five million one hundred thousand!" Tatiana lazily held up her sign.

"Did you hear me wrong? Our starting bid is one million."

“It doesn’t matter, it’s five million one hundred thousand now.” She gave Yelena a meaningful look. “Five million five hundred thousand!” Svetlana immediately followed.

“Five million six hundred thousand!” Varvara frowned slightly.

"Six million!"

"..."

The four women kept raising the price, and soon it reached the eight million mark, after which the price remained at a standstill for a short time.

This is no small sum. Regardless, they still hesitated, not knowing what she was bidding on and how much money it would cost.

"Aren't you afraid that this is a setup by Ivan and me, a scheme to drive up your price?" Yelena, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up with a smile. "Eight million two hundred thousand! If anyone goes above that price, I definitely won't bid."

She coldly surveyed the crowd. She was gambling. If she could really fool them, then she would win tonight. She could reunite with her sweetheart, and she could return to paradise.

Sure enough, after she finished speaking, everyone else fell silent for a moment.

"Nine million!" Tatiana raised her paddle again, glaring at Irina with a slight smile. "The more you act like this, the more curious I become about who that person is. I'd even accept it if he were Mr. Ivan's father!"

……

"Hello, my angel!" Tatiana hugged Shen Mochen tightly. "I never expected to meet you here. You can call me Tanyusa..."

"Sister Tanyusha."

Shen Mochen smiled slightly. He thought to himself that although Tanyusha was quite beautiful, her chest was very flat.

The next day, Tatiana was asked to leave the "Gates of Heaven." Still feeling unsatisfied, she went to find Ivan, but he brushed her off again, and she could only leave indignantly.

In the afternoon, as usual, Shen Mochen finished learning how to deal with women and knocked on the door of his boss, Ivan.

"Is it you, my child?" Ivan asked with a smile.

Shen Mochen removed his mask, deliberately revealing a hint of nervousness and timidity on his face: "Uncle Ivan, I... I have a request."

Ivan smiled and walked up to Shen Mochen: "Speak freely, child. What is there that you can't say to me?"

"I want... to get an advance on some of my salary." Shen Mochen looked troubled, then hurriedly added, "I promise, I'll work even harder in the future!"

Seeing the other person's evasive gaze, Ivan laughed heartily: "So that's how it is. What's the big deal? Even if you hadn't come to me, I would have come to you. Just last night, I paid off all the medical bills owed by Miss Xiao Xingshuang's mother, and I've even covered the medical expenses for the next year!"

"Really?" Shen Mochen was overjoyed.

“Of course it’s true!” Ivan laughed. “If you don’t believe me, you can call the hospital right now.”

Shen Mochen nodded and bowed, his voice choked with emotion: "I believe you, I believe you... really, Uncle Ivan, I don't know how to thank you enough!"

Ivan smiled smugly and casually offered a few words of comfort to Shen Mochen. Shen Mochen was now his cash cow, so he certainly understood the importance of a combination of kindness and severity; it was just a matter of spending a little money.

Starting from the third week, the number of bidders surged again, even surpassing the first week's numbers, and remained at that level thereafter. Furthermore, several more high-level VIPs joined Heaven to participate in the surprise event.

A month after Shen Mochen's "debut," Ivan announced that he had won the bid for Shen Mochen's services and would be able to enjoy one hour of Shen Mochen's company every day for the next week. He also hinted that there might be a virginity auction in the future, and only those who had previously secured the "surprise moment" would be eligible to bid.

This further fueled the women's enthusiasm, and the price of the weekly surprise moments kept hitting new highs, with the highest price ever reaching a staggering 15 million!
Two more months passed quickly, and Xiao Xingshuang still hadn't returned. (End of Chapter)
