I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

At that moment, the basement door was gently pushed open a crack.

Su Wanqing poked her head in, peering curiously inside.

She had just returned when she suddenly smelled a very strange fragrance. It didn't smell like perfume or food, but rather like some kind of medicinal herb, yet it smelled a thousand times better than ordinary Chinese medicine.

The fragrance seemed to be coming from the basement.

Knowing that Ye An usually stayed inside all day, she was curious and came down to take a look.

As soon as the door opened, they saw Ye An sitting in front of the pile of medicinal herbs, holding a small porcelain bottle in his hand, fiddling with something.

"What are you doing?" Su Wanqing walked in, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed as she surveyed the mess on the floor. "Making Chinese medicine? Why such a big fuss?"

In her opinion, the medicinal herbs in this area are enough to open a traditional Chinese medicine shop.

Ye An didn't look up; he simply tightened the lid of the porcelain bottle and put it in his pocket.

Then, he picked up the remaining small Qi-Nourishing Pill from the yellow cloth and waved it in front of Su Wanqing.

"Medicines for curing diseases."

Su Wanqing looked at the dark, unremarkable pill in Ye An's hand and smelled the strange medicinal fragrance in the air, her heart filled with curiosity.

"Pills?" she repeated, feeling she'd only ever heard the word in period dramas. "You can even refine pills?"

"I just learned it," Ye An replied casually, putting the remaining Small Qi-Nourishing Pill into the porcelain bottle.

Looking at his nonchalant demeanor, Su Wanqing was at a loss for words.

The man in front of me always manages to do the most unbelievable things with the most ordinary tone.

She shook her head, banishing those distracting thoughts, and got down to business.

"There's an antique auction tonight, which is actually a high-end cocktail party. Would you like to go?"

Ye An had just exhausted his true energy and intended to meditate to recover, but upon hearing the words "auction," he lost interest.

Su Wanqing seemed to see through his thoughts and quickly added, "This auction is unusual. The organizer is another large group in Jiangcheng, Wansheng Group, and the threshold is very high."

She paused, then explained in a more direct way: "To get a ticket, the company's free cash flow needs to be at least 50 million."

"Oh." Ye An had no concept of these business terms.

Su Wanqing had no choice but to explain further: "To put it this way, take our Su family's pharmaceutical company as an example. Its market value is said to be tens of billions, but that is the valuation of fixed assets, factories, and equipment."

"Throughout the year, the company's readily available cash reserves are probably less than one billion. Therefore, a cash flow of fifty million is already a very high threshold."

"Those who can attend this gathering are basically the real first-class families in Jiangcheng, or some senior executives of large companies from the provincial capital."

Ye An understood; this was probably a gathering organized by the wealthiest and most powerful people in the mortal world.

He still couldn't muster any interest.

"Moreover," Su Wanqing played her final trump card, "it is said that among the final items tonight's auction are several so-called 'magical artifacts'."

Ye An stopped moving.

"A magical artifact?" He looked up at Su Wanqing.

"Hmm," Su Wanqing nodded, carefully observing his reaction. "I've heard people say that this kind of thing has the magical effects of stabilizing the home, adjusting the feng shui, and bringing good fortune and avoiding misfortune. There are even rumors that it can protect its owner in times of crisis."

"Of course, whether it's true or not, I don't know. I think... since you're a cultivator, you might be interested in this."

Ye An raised an eyebrow slightly.

In the mortal world, spiritual energy is depleted, so how could there be any real magical artifacts left to be passed down?

Most of them are just scams.

But what if?

Even if it's just a material containing a little bit of spiritual energy, it's still an unexpected surprise for him.

"Okay, I'll go take a look." Ye An finally nodded.

……

An hour later, Su Wanqing handed Ye An a neatly ironed Armani suit.

"Change into it; you need to be mindful of your attire for this kind of occasion."

Ye An took it, glanced at it, and then touched the stiff fabric before shaking his head.

"It's too tight, I can't stretch out, it's uncomfortable."

After saying that, he rummaged through the dressing room on his own and finally picked out a simple cotton casual outfit and a pair of jeans.

Su Wanqing looked at him, somewhat helplessly: "Are you sure you want to wear this?"

"Hmm." Ye An had already started changing his clothes.

Su Wanqing opened her mouth, but in the end, she swallowed back the words of persuasion.

Fine, let him do whatever he wants.

However, when Ye An came out of the dressing room after changing his clothes, Su Wanqing's breath hitched for a moment.

The simple casual shirt accentuated his well-proportioned and smooth muscle lines, without the restrictive feeling of a suit and tie, instead giving him a more casual and carefree temperament.

His features were already delicate and pleasing to the eye, and now, paired with his clear and deep eyes, he exuded a unique charm that was hard to describe.

That feeling is like a piece of uncut jade, seemingly ordinary, yet containing amazing brilliance, making people want to get closer and explore it.

"Let's go," Ye An said calmly.

"Okay...okay!" Su Wanqing's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and her cheeks felt a little hot. She quickly looked away.

The two got into Su Wanqing's red Maserati and drove towards the suburbs.

The reception was held at a top-tier club called "Wansheng Villa" at the foot of Yunwu Mountain outside Jiangcheng City.

Far from the city center, this place boasts a tranquil environment and exceptional privacy, making it a favorite private gathering spot for Jiangcheng's wealthy elite.

Before the car even reached the entrance of the resort, we could see from afar that the plaza at the entrance was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars.

The black BMW 7 Series and Audi A8 are only considered entry-level here, barely enough to be parked on the outskirts.

As you walk further in, you'll see Mercedes-Benz S-Class cars everywhere.

The more central positions are occupied by a host of supercars such as Lamborghini, Porsche, and Ferrari.

At the most conspicuous location at the main entrance of the resort, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked. The extended body gleamed under the lights, and the license plate "Jiang B·666666" silently demonstrated the extraordinary status of the owner.

"It seems that almost all the important figures in Jiangcheng are here today," Su Wanqing said softly, gripping the steering wheel.

Ye An's gaze swept over the Rolls-Royce without any particular reaction; in his eyes, it was nothing more than a bunch of moving metal lumps.

As soon as the car came to a stop, the doorman immediately jogged over and respectfully opened the car door.

Su Wanqing, dressed in a moon-white long dress, stepped gracefully out of the car, instantly attracting the attention of many people around her.

Everyone was stunned. At this moment, Su Wanqing seemed to have an indescribable radiance compared to before, and she had become even more beautiful in an almost impossible situation.

"As expected of Goddess Wanqing, she's still so beautiful!"

"This long dress is absolutely ethereal!"

"However, Su Wanqing really does seem even more beautiful now!"

Immediately afterwards, Ye An also came down from the other side.

"Who is that kid?"

"I don't know her. She's not in this circle, is she?"

"Could they be from out of town? Wow, they look so close, could he be Wanqing's boyfriend?"
