I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

So for Xia You, who was changing clothes next door and was only wearing basic underwear, it was as if Chen Ya had fallen from the sky.

Her eyes widened slowly, then she gasped, about to shout, when Chen Ya rushed over and covered her mouth with his hand.

The voices of Lu Qingxuan and Liu Ruying came from next door.

"Chen Ya, are you in there? I know you're in there, and I'm very curious about what you and a girl are doing in there."

"what you do?……"

Chen Ya put his finger to his lips in a "shh" gesture and whispered, "Don't make a sound, or we'll be found out."

Xia You still stared at him with terrified eyes.

"I'll let go, please don't scream, okay?" Chen Ya whispered.

Xia You nodded, her cute bangs swaying back and forth in front of her forehead.

Chen Ya slowly loosened his grip, and as soon as he did, Xia You whispered, "What were you doing with that woman next door?"

"Uh, it's nothing..."

The girl's eyes sharpened.

"And you still have lipstick marks on your lips, do you know that?"

"I know, keep your voice down."

Lu Qingxuan and Liu Ruying next door had a minor argument, and Xia You's voice started to get a little out of control.

"You kissed her?" Xia You's voice trembled slightly. "Here?"

"Yes, I'll explain later. Keep your voice down, or someone will hear us..."

Xia You said with a hint of tears in her voice, "It's only been a few days, and you've already met a new girl..."

Chen Ya pulled Xia You close and silenced her with a kiss.

Xia You's head began to heat up, as if a thunderclap had struck her ears, and she instantly lost the ability to think.

Her first reaction was, "Oh no, oh no."

My first kiss is gone.

Her body began to burn, her hands and feet became weak, and she lost the strength to stand, collapsing into Chen Ya's arms.

Chen Ya had to hold her body tightly to keep her standing.

Xia You closed her eyes. If this was a dream, she didn't want to wake up, at least not now.

After a while, the sounds from next door disappeared. Chen Ya placed Xia You, whose legs were weak, on the leather stool in the fitting room and quietly left.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Lu Qingxuan standing in the doorway. He pulled the fitting room curtain shut behind him, walked over to Lu Qingxuan, and asked:

What are you doing here?

Lu Qingxuan stared at his face with disbelief, feeling as if she had stumbled upon a supernatural event.

"Hmm? I'm asking you a question," Chen Ya said, leading her outside without making a sound.

"I, uh, just came to browse..."

Lu Qingxuan felt a little guilty. After all, she had followed him here, and her behavior wasn't exactly respectable.

"Come on, let's go outside and talk." Taking advantage of Lu Qingxuan's still confused state of mind, Chen Ya led her away.

Inside the fitting room behind him, Liu Ruying stood nervously behind the curtain, her heart pounding like a drum, her tongue gently licking her lips.

In another room, Xia You slumped listlessly on a stool, clutching her clothes tightly to cover her burning, naked body.

……

……

After a while, all four girls gathered and sat in the coffee shop, each lost in their own thoughts, creating an eerily quiet atmosphere.

Lu Qianzi felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

She held the glass of iced lemon water in both hands, glanced at Liu Ruying to her left without saying a word, looked at Xia You to her right with her head down, and then looked at Lu Qingxuan, whose face had the expression of a police officer examining a crime scene, her attention was frighteningly focused.

The only man at the table, and the focus of everyone's attention, was Chen Ya. He sat there, trying his best to appear calm and composed.

Lu Qianzi felt as if the air was about to solidify, which made her very uncomfortable.

She had just secretly asked Liu Ruying if she had gotten any information, but Liu Ruying hadn't told her anything.

Moreover, she just saw Lu Qingxuan go over there, and then she came back with Chen Ya. The two chatted normally, looking like ordinary friends, which made her start to doubt herself again.

On one hand, she wondered how Lu Qingxuan, who had a bloodline to suppress her, could have such a good relationship with Chen Ya. On the other hand, she began to doubt her initial judgment.

Perhaps Chen Ya is just very popular with women and has good relationships with many girls. Maybe he and that little girl from earlier were just ordinary friends.

I'm just being too sensitive.

Thinking of this, she felt a little ashamed for having wronged Chen Ya. Then she thought that perhaps she could take this opportunity to bring Liu Ruying and Chen Ya together, so she asked:

"Um, wait a minute, where is everyone going?"

Chen Ya immediately said, "Xia You and I are planning to go to Jiang Lizhi's auction. What about you?"

"Oh! It's that British Queen's jewelry auction, right?" Lu Qianzi's eyes blinked. Girls are like dragons, naturally interested in shiny things.

Lu Qingxuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing Chen Ya's words.

"Hmm?" Lu Qingxuan looked up at him. "You have an invitation?"

"What invitation?" Chen Ya asked.

Lu Qingxuan said, "Without an invitation, there is no right to enter; otherwise, there would definitely be many people who want to join in the fun and watch."

“Oh, no invitation is needed,” Chen Ya said.

"Yes, we need it." Lu Qingxuan brushed her hair aside. "I'm pretty sure we need an invitation."

Chen Ya said, "I don't need it."

"Snapped."

Lu Qingxuan slammed her hand on the table and said, "I'm telling you out of kindness, you need an invitation. I'm absolutely certain of it. Why do you keep arguing with me?"

Chen Ya said helplessly, "No."

“You do have it.” Lu Qingxuan crossed her arms.

Looking back, she realized that Chen Ya did indeed often disagree with her.

Iron's secret love.

"Do you want to go? We can go together later," Chen Ya said.

"Really?" Lu Qianzi sat up straight.

“Yes, we can go together.” Chen Ya glanced at Xia You secretly and found that she didn’t react.

Since Xia You didn't explicitly object, that's fine.

In reality, Xia You was still immersed in the emotions of losing her first kiss, and her mind was still reeling.

Lu Qianzi asked Liu Ruying beside her, "Why don't you go too? You have nothing else to do anyway, so let's go and take a look together."

Liu Ruying said, "Didn't they say we needed an invitation?"

Chen Ya said, "If an invitation is needed later, I will take full responsibility."

Then he said to Lu Qingxuan, "If you don't believe me, you don't have to go."

Since he had said so, Lu Qingxuan had no reason not to go. She retorted with a mischievous smile, "Of course I have to go see how embarrassed you are after being turned away, and I also want to take pictures to remember this moment and enjoy it."

The auction started at 4 p.m., and the group didn't have to wait long. At 3:40 p.m., they set off for the rooftop.

Jiang Lizhi's auction did indeed require an invitation, and only a few people were qualified to have one. These people were all high-ranking members of the upper class, and they were all gathered on the top floor, but could only stand in twos and threes outside the venue waiting.

There is a direct elevator to the top floor, but only a few people like Chen Ya and his group took the escalator to the top floor. After arriving, Lu Qingxuan and the others started breathing heavily as they saw several familiar faces.

Chen Ya called the person in charge of Jiang Lizhi's company, and then followed behind the group. Suddenly, a slightly familiar voice came from behind him.

"Chen Ya? What are you doing here?"

Chen Ya turned around and saw Miao Aoxue, dressed in a gorgeous dress, standing behind him.

Miao Aoxue was an old acquaintance of his from Peking University a few years ago. Back then, she was a delicate and beautiful girl in the department, and she and he, who was a handsome librarian, became quite close.

The two later parted ways, and now Miao Aoxue is engaged to Li Jiayi, the eldest son of the Xuanyuan Chamber of Commerce.

Time has passed, and years have gone by. The two had met once before at the fireworks tower, but now they meet again.

Miao Aoxue held a small handbag, her lips painted with bright red lipstick revealing a sharp smile:

"What a coincidence, we meet again."

Chapter 260 The old woman actually wants to

"What a coincidence!"

Miao Aoxue was wearing a black evening gown that accentuated her slender and slim figure, and she wore black gauze gloves on her arms.

This elaborate outfit is a classic example of prioritizing style over warmth; thankfully, there's central air conditioning indoors.

To meet twice in just three days is indeed a matter of fate, but Chen Ya doesn't really want this kind of fate.

"Why are you here?" Chen Ya asked.

Miao Aoxue raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why am I here? Of course, it's because I have some items I like to bid on here."

"Oh," Chen Ya said.

Miao Aoxue raised her head high, like a swan.

What Chen Ya really wanted to know was that, given the scale of this auction, someone of Miao Aoxue's status shouldn't be able to attend.

He wanted to know why Miao Aoxue was allowed to participate in the auction.

However, judging from Miao Aoxue's proud expression, it seemed that there was no need to answer this question.

"And what are you doing here?"

Chen Ya said, "I've come to join in the fun."

At this moment, Lu Qianzi, Lu Qingxuan, Liu Ruying, and Xia You, who had been traveling with Chen Ya, caught up and walked behind him. The four of them looked at Miao Aoxue with different expressions.

Lu Qingxuan recognized her; she crossed her arms, her eyes showing a hint of disdain, yet she feigned enthusiasm.

Xia You didn't recognize her and thought she was some other confidante of Chen Ya who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, so her eyes were quite hostile.

While cursing Chen Ya for his womanizing ways in her heart, Lu Qianzi sized up Miao Aoxue and assessed her looks.

Liu Ruying followed Chen Ya obediently with a blank expression, appearing like a capable female subordinate who didn't pry into her boss's private life.

Looking at the four beauties in their most stunning state, Miao Aoxue began to have some doubts.

Lu Qingxuan was one thing, but she couldn't understand where Chen Ya's charm came from, which allowed him to attract so many girls.

Seeing how popular Chen Ya was with women, she felt a little envious. But then she thought that Chen Ya was just a man she had given up on, yet he was pursued by all sorts of girls. She couldn't help but feel that her own value had increased considerably, and she became a little arrogant.

Miao Aoxue moved a few steps closer to Chen Ya and said, "If you've had enough of the excitement, you should leave early. This is the real top-tier area. If I may be so bold, but you standing here, well, you don't quite fit in."

Not far away, a middle-aged man with gray hair and a sharp suit walked over and stood next to Miao Aoxue, smiling as he asked her, "Aoxue, is this your friend?"

Miao Aoxue smiled and took the old man's arm, saying, "Uncle Guo, this man isn't really my friend, he's just an acquaintance."

"An acquaintance? How close? Someone you've been dealing with in business?"

"Uncle Guo, you're joking. Compared to you, what I do is hardly business..."

Upon seeing the "Uncle Guo" that Miao Aoxue had mentioned, Chen Ya finally understood why she was qualified to stand here.

Guo Menglin is one of the earliest generation of entrepreneurs in China to navigate the ups and downs of the business world, and a businessman who has a place in various industrial sectors.

Chen Ya knew him, but he didn't know Chen Ya. It was only because Guo Menglin was high-profile, nicknamed "Guo the Cannon," with a loud voice and a lot of daring to speak his mind.

His image is a common sight at bookstores year-round; it appears on the covers of various books, including biographies, interviews, memoirs, and self-help books.

In addition, he has appeared on numerous film and television interviews, and has directly confronted reporters and hosts by slamming his fist on the table.

Therefore, Chen Ya naturally recognized his face.

I just don't know how Miao Aoxue got involved with this person again.
