Waaah, I'm being forced into loving my yandere wife's brain.

Mr. Shen... what do you mean?

Why put shoes on her?

Lin Zhiyao was in a daze the whole time, and didn't even know when she entered the banquet hall.

Before my eyes, glasses clinked and clinked, crystal chandeliers shattered on the marble floor, reflecting dazzling light, and everywhere was filled with the fragrance of fine clothes and the swaying of elegant ladies.

She glanced around and noticed that almost every couple had come together. The man's hand was either on the woman's waist or loosely around her shoulder. At the very least, the woman was holding the man's arm and leaning towards him.

Their posture was intimately close.

Lin Zhiyao panicked a little.

She subconsciously turned her head to glance at Shen Jin.

Shen Jin was adjusting his cuffs with his eyes down. The silver cufflinks flashed under the light. Then he bent his left arm slightly, turned to the side, and turned his elbow toward her.

Shen Jin didn't speak, but he tilted his head slightly and pointed to the crook of her elbow, his fox-like eyes fixed on her, his meaning clear.

It's to let her help me out.

Lin Zhiyao's heart trembled slightly, and she subconsciously did as she was told.

She raised her hand and gently placed it on Shen Jin's forearm, her fingertips clearly feeling the slightly taut contour of his arm.

Even through the thin layer of fabric of his shirt, the muscles beneath were firm and well-defined, revealing an immense amount of explosive power.

Lin Zhiyao looked at their reflections through the mirror on the side of the door.

The man was tall and had long legs, and the woman was pretty and charming, but she was too far away, and her arm was just stiffly placed there.

They didn't look like a couple; it was more like she had been kidnapped.

Even if she didn't understand much, she knew that entering like this would be extremely inappropriate.

Lin Zhiyao had no choice but to move even closer.

She gently leaned her delicate body against his arm.

Because they were so close, the scent of cedar wafted into Lin Zhiyao's nose, like a coniferous forest after a rainstorm, cool and tinged with a melancholy atmosphere.

It smells good.

She couldn't bear to smell it anymore. Suppressing her racing heart, she quickly looked away, her gaze landing hastily on the wine glass held by the person next to her.

In social settings of this caliber, most of the faces are familiar.

Soon, a man in his forties, accompanied by a female companion, approached with a champagne glass. He greeted her warmly, "Mr. Shen, it's rare to see you at an auction house with a female companion; it's unheard of! And who is this lady?"

He glanced at Lin Zhiyao politely, then added with a smile, "What a beautiful oriental woman."

Lin Zhiyao felt a burning sensation on the tip of her ear.

She opened her mouth, unsure how to respond.

Fortunately, Shen Jin was right. Without her having to say anything, he quickly stopped the man from speaking, calmly shielding her with his words, "She's new here and a bit shy. Just tell me what's on her mind."

The man smiled knowingly.

Lin Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, a waiter carrying a tray of wine passed by, and Lin Zhiyao casually picked up the glass from the very edge. The glass contained a light pink liquid and was garnished with a mint leaf, looking refreshing and harmless.

It should be a glass of low-alcohol fruit wine.

Lin Zhiyao lowered her head and took a sip. It was sweet with a lychee flavor and tasted quite good.

So I took another small sip.

Shen Jin was discussing industry trends with that person when his fox-like eyes lingered for a moment on the pale pink fruit wine in the corner of his eye.

He said nothing, but his fox-like eyes deepened slightly before he looked away and continued talking to the person, his fingertips tapping lightly on the side of the cup as if he were thinking.

Lin Zhiyao stood beside Shen Jin, her fingertips still resting on his arm, finding the wine increasingly sweet and refreshing with each sip.

I sipped it slowly, unable to stop, and before I knew it, the glass of wine was empty.

Lin Zhiyao went to get another cup.

I also added extra ice cubes.

They had no idea that this type of liquor actually had a high alcohol content and a strong aftereffect.

It's fine when you first drink it, but the effects of the alcohol will kick in after a while. And because it tastes so good at first, people who don't know better can easily drink too much.

"South African pink diamond, Winston Heritage, 13.25 carats, starting bid $3000 million."

Lin Zhiyao had just returned when she heard that this price was a fraction of what she could earn even after a lifetime of work.

Her almond-shaped eyes widened instantly.

What surprised her even more was Shen Jin.

They actually managed to buy this pink diamond.

Lin Zhiyao:......

You evil capitalists! We're really going to fight you rich people to the death!

Lin Zhiyao was slightly angry, but then took a big gulp of the fruit wine in her glass to calm herself down.

"Oh, Mr. Shen, you bought this pink diamond for..." The man was clearly a little surprised, but he wasn't surprised by the price. He was surprised that Shen Jin would bid on this small ornament that was obviously meant for a woman.

"This is for my future wife."

Shen Jin's expression remained indifferent, with a sense of world-weariness shrouding his eyes. He casually accepted the pink diamond handed to him by the waiter, treating it as if it were a piece of paper, rather than something worth tens of millions of dollars.

Lin Zhiyao watched closely, afraid that President Shen's casual attitude might cause him to accidentally drop the pink diamond on the ground.

"Future wife? Could it be..." The man looked at Lin Zhiyao.

Lin Zhiyao was still staring at the fifty million US dollars, worried that the boss would drop it, so she didn't notice.

Shen Jin turned to the side, interrupting his gaze, his expression even more impatient. "You'll find out when I get married, won't you?"

What are you looking at? What if you scare the little girl away? Can he get his wife back?

The man, seeing that he had gained an advantage, smiled and said nothing more.

The auction continues.

Lin Zhiyao couldn't help but glance at the pink diamond a few more times before looking away.

She had no idea that President Shen had a fiancée? But if he did have a fiancée...

Why did Mr. Shen bring his female companion along?

Lin Zhiyao couldn't understand it.

But instinctively loosened her grip on Shen Jin's arm, maintaining a more polite distance.

She continued to sip her drink.

Lin Zhiyao was surprised.

The more she drank, the hotter she felt. Not only that, her head started to spin a little, and before she knew it, her legs were going weak and she felt like she was walking on clouds. She instinctively reached out to support Shen Jin.

"Well……"

Lin Zhiyao's cheeks flushed, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with a hazy intoxication. She had only loosely linked arms with Shen Jin, her fingertips lightly touching his sleeve, leaving a gap between them.

But now, she uncontrollably swayed to the side, her whole body limply pressed against Shen Jin's arm, only leaning on him to avoid falling.

But now Lin Zhiyao's brain was almost unable to think. When her cheek, which was flushed like snowflakes after a night of drinking, was pressed against hers, she could feel the slightly cool temperature of the skin underneath through the thin shirt fabric.

It feels cool and refreshing.

She instinctively rubbed against him, feeling dizzy, like a cat seeking coolness, leaving a slight indentation in her cheek.

The cheeks were cooled down.

Much more comfortable.

Lin Zhiyao's almond-shaped eyes narrowed comfortably.
