Looking at the closed door, Sun Yuqing smiled awkwardly and glanced at the middle-aged man beside her.

“Um… Dad, Yassen… he… he might have gone out to buy coffee beans. After all, you know, with his small business, he has to do everything himself, right?”

Sun Yuqing smiled awkwardly.

At this moment, Sun Yuqing was filled with deep regret.

If she had to do it all over again, she would never ask Chen Feng to pretend to be her boyfriend.

Who knew that Uncle Su would have such a good impression of Chen Feng, whom he had only met once?

She praised Chen Feng to her parents, saying things like he was neither humble nor arrogant, that he had an exceptional temperament, and that he was skilled in appraising antiques.

He praised her to the skies, which successfully piqued his father's interest, and he insisted on meeting his son-in-law.

Sun Yuqing couldn't refuse him, so she had no choice but to bring him along.

But for several days in a row, they didn't even get to see Chen Feng, let alone talk to him.

Seeing that she was about to be exposed, Sun Yuqing had no choice but to quickly make up an excuse.

"Really?"

The middle-aged man looked at Sun Yuqing with a half-smile.

"He's been gone for days trying to buy coffee beans? Could he have gone all the way to Africa to buy them?"

"That...that..."

Sun Yuqing was speechless for a moment, scratching her head and trying to find a way to explain herself.

But before she could come up with a solution, her father's voice came again.

"Yuqing! Do you think your old man is stupid? You're trying to make up excuses to lie to me!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Yuqing closed her eyes in despair.

Oh no, I've been caught red-handed. Looks like I can't escape this blind date.

"Dad, actually I..."

Did you have a fight with someone?

"I... am making noise... huh?"

Seeing her father's "I already guessed" expression, Sun Yuqing swallowed back the words she was about to say.

"Hmm...right! You're really something, Dad, I managed to keep it from you, hehe..."

Sun Yuqing smiled awkwardly, and gave her father a thumbs-up with her left hand.

He was inwardly cursing himself: He had overestimated his father again; he must never make this mistake again.

Seeing Sun Yuqing's "extremely admiring" expression, Sun Kaixuan couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.

He reached out and patted Sun Yuqing on the head, laughing as he said, "You still think you can hide this from your old man? You're still too green. Alright, since he's not here, I'll find another opportunity to come back later."

With that, Sun Kai turned around and walked towards the parking lot.

Sun Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Although it had been a bit complicated, the result was still good; at least the secret wasn't exposed.

"Oh, right!"

Sun Kaixuan suddenly turned around, startling Sun Yuqing again.

"Dad, is there... anything else?"

"Yuqing, you're not a child anymore. Stop acting like a spoiled princess. You need to tone it down. You can't always expect people to give in to you."

"Okay, I understand."

Hearing his daughter's response, Sun Kaixuan nodded in satisfaction, got up and returned to the car, where the driver drove off.

"call……"

Sun Yuqing let out a long breath.

I glanced back at the closed coffee shop door and couldn't help but feel angry.

"That unscrupulous boss took the money and ran off before the job was even done, making me put on an act for so long. When I see him again, I'll definitely make him pay!"

Sun Yuqing thought angrily.

But faced with the locked shop door, she had nowhere to vent her frustration.

In the end, he could only suppress his emotions for the time being and prepare to settle accounts with this unscrupulous merchant who took money but did not deliver on his promises when Chen Feng returned.

……

"Ah Qiu! Ah Qiu! Ah Qiu!"

On the streets of Gerchi, the capital of Lorchin.

Chen Feng, who had just come out of the airport, sneezed three times in a row.

"The weather's been a bit chilly lately, I've even caught a cold," Chen Feng muttered to himself, rubbing his nose.

At that moment, a small white head popped out from Chen Feng's arms, raised its head, and looked around at its surroundings.

"We haven't arrived yet, Xiaobai. Please wait patiently for a little while longer."

Chen Feng spoke softly to Xiao Bai.

Seemingly understanding Chen Feng's words, Xiao Bai made two "cooing" sounds, a little unhappy, but still obediently shrank back into Chen Feng's arms.

Night slowly fell.

Inside a five-star hotel not far from the Royal Auction House.

Chen Feng was sitting quietly on the balcony looking at the auction's promotional posters.

After asking around among the locals, Chen Feng learned a general understanding of the royal auction.

This auction is different from others. The reason it has the word "Royal" in its name is not only because it is wholly owned by the royal family of the Kingdom of Lorqing, but also because it serves only the royal family of the Kingdom of Lorqing.

They don't accept business from other people, even if they offer extra money.

This auction is held only once a month on the 15th, and the tickets are extremely expensive, but even so, the tickets are still in short supply.

Amya's commission, which is also the target of Chen Feng's operation, is the "Starry Gaze" ring that was once worn by the Queen of Russia, which will be auctioned off in five days.

In other words, Chen Feng has five days to steal the ring, which is quite a lot of time.

"The grand finale auction item—The Gaze of Starlight..."

Chen Feng looked at the promotional poster in his hand and muttered to himself.

Then, turning his gaze to Xiaobai, who was standing on a horizontal bar to the side, he spoke softly:

"Xiao Bai, you'll have to work hard again this time."

"Cuckoo-"

……

P.S.: Sorry, friends. I didn't expect that some people wouldn't understand the methods I used to steal things. To make it easier for everyone, I've put those methods in the "Author's Note." You can take a look if you're interested.

Chapter 67 Auction Venue

It was in the afternoon of the second day.

Chen Feng, who had spent the entire night observing the terrain using the camera strapped to Xiao Bai, didn't leave until the afternoon.

After a quick meal, Chen Feng took a taxi to his destination – the Royal Auction House of the Kingdom of Luoerqing.

Although today is not the day the auction begins.

However, a large crowd still gathered at the entrance, waiting for the auction to begin.

The reason is simple: anyone can go inside and visit during non-auction periods.

It can be considered a form of advertising.

The auction organizers, namely the royal family of the Kingdom of Lorqing, will display pictures and information about the items to be auctioned this month at the venue half a month in advance.

Although the original artifacts cannot be seen, many people are still willing to go inside for a visit.

Especially this time!

With the help of Amya's father, His Majesty the King of Lorqing.

Now almost everyone in the country knows that he plans to choose a fiancé for Princess Amya from among the crowd auctioning the last item—"Starry Gaze."

This news ignited the enthusiasm of almost the entire nation of Lorqing.

Many foreigners even come here, not hoping to win the favor of Amya, the outstanding unmarried woman of the year, but just to meet this goddess who enjoys a certain reputation worldwide, is a wonderful thing.

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

The auction doors opened precisely on time.

The crowd that had been waiting outside rushed inside.

The scene quickly descended into chaos, requiring dozens of Royal Police officers from the Kingdom of Lorqing to barely bring the situation under control.

Among the crowd, Chen Feng, wearing sunglasses and casual clothes, also entered the venue.

The largest crowd gathered in front of the picture titled "Starlight Gaze," and Chen Feng was among them.

Looking at the exquisite and dazzling ring in the picture, as if it were a star in the sky, someone immediately exclaimed:

"What a beautiful little thing! It's the engagement ring that King Vladimir I of Russia gave to his queen. It's so pretty."

As soon as he said this, people immediately echoed his sentiments.

"Of course, this carries the love of a king after all."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man seemed to remember something and added, "In a few days, it will be more than just that; it will also be a testament to Princess Amya's upcoming love."

"Yes, I can't wait to see how Her Highness looks when she wears this ring. It will definitely be stunning."

"That's for sure, brother."

Everyone around him spoke Lorchen, but for Chen Feng, who possessed the skills of a world language master, there was actually not much difference between speaking Lorchen and speaking Chinese.

Listening to the conversations around him, Chen Feng did not show any change in expression. After glancing at the target information a few times, he quietly withdrew from the crowd.
