Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 1061: Auction House

"By the way, Brother Su, there's a small auction in the Ancient Martial World happening in a few days in the neighboring province. Do you want to check it out?"

That day, while Su Chen was strolling around with Huang Menglei, she asked him.

"An auction in the Ancient Martial World? What's being auctioned?"

Su Chen asked curiously.

"Not sure, it could be martial techniques, cultivation techniques, elixirs, and such."

Huang Menglei said.

"Then let's go have a look, but will your parents allow you to go?"

Su Chen glanced at her and asked.

"No problem. I talked to my parents. They also think I should go practice on my own, so they won't restrict my freedom anymore. They said as long as I don't stir up trouble and come back often to visit, it's fine!"

Huang Menglei said happily, like a bird that had gained its freedom!

"In that case, let's go take a look."

Su Chen nodded. He quite understood Huang Menglei's parents' thinking. After all, she was young and a girl before, and naturally, they were worried she'd get into trouble.

But since she is part of the Ancient Martial World, gaining experience is necessary. Perhaps, this elopement was an opportunity for her.

Huang Menglei had been outside for a few months without anything happening, which eased Huang Zhenhua and his wife's concerns to some extent.

Besides, she's almost twenty years old now, it's about time!

.....

A few days later, in the morning, Su Chen and Huang Menglei packed simply and set off for the neighboring province. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Just like before, they spent two to three hours walking out of the mountain range where the Huang Family was located, then took a bus to the county town.

Because only in the county town can you catch a bus to Anping City, the provincial capital of the neighboring province.

The auction Huang Menglei mentioned was going to be held there.

Although Anping City wasn't as prosperous as Jianghai or Yandu, as a provincial capital, it was still a big city, with tall buildings and numerous shopping malls and office buildings everywhere!

Having spent a few months in Yandu, Huang Menglei had grown accustomed to such metropolitan cities, finding herself bored at home after just a few days!

After arriving in the downtown area of Anping, the two first found a hotel to stay in. After all, the auction wouldn't start until the next day, and they had arrived a day early.

This time, there were no issues with room availability. Su Chen booked two rooms facing each other, making it convenient to help out in case of any problems.

After setting their things down, they went out shopping, of course, with Huang Menglei dragging Su Chen along.

Whether women from the secular world or the Ancient Martial World, they all seem to share a passion for shopping!

After two to three hours, Su Chen couldn't take it anymore. His legs weren't tired; his heart was!

Initially, Su Chen went into the stores with her, but later he just sat on a bench outside playing a match-three game.

Huang Menglei didn't finish shopping until dinner time, which finally delivered Su Chen.

The two had hotpot for dinner at a hotpot restaurant, and after dinner, they returned to rest.

After taking a shower, Su Chen sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate, not resting until halfway through the night.

The next afternoon, the two went to an auction house in Anping City.

This auction house was specifically for the Ancient Martial World; if you weren't part of the Ancient Martial forces, you couldn't enter at all.

As Su Chen and Huang Menglei approached the entrance, they saw groups of people walking in, most of whom were young people.

These young people were mostly martial artists at the Meridian Expansion Fifth to Ninth Layer!

Having stayed at the Huang Family for a few days, Su Chen had gained more understanding of the Ancient Martial World.

Young people in the Ancient Martial World generally only reached the late stage of Meridian Expansion, and someone like Huang Menglei, who was not even twenty and already at the Meridian Expansion Seventh Layer, was considered exceptionally talented!

As for someone like Ouyang Jing, who they met before, being under thirty and already at the primary stage of the Kaiyuan Realm, was even more rare!

Reaching the late stage of Meridian Expansion at a young age was something unimaginable in the Martial Arts World!

After all, reaching the late stage of Meridian Expansion was already considered an expert in the entire Martial Arts World!

It's understandable why most attendees were young, as this was just a small auction, unlikely to feature extraordinarily valuable items!

"Menglei?!"

Just as Su Chen and Huang Menglei were about to enter, a surprised voice called out suddenly.

Upon hearing the voice, the two of them turned their heads slightly.

However, upon seeing the person who called out, Huang Menglei's face turned dark immediately.

"Who is that?"

Su Chen asked quietly.

"Song Chu!"

Huang Menglei muttered in displeasure.

So it was him, no wonder Huang Menglei had that attitude!

Wasn't he the one who was supposed to be engaged to Huang Menglei?

Of course, he wasn't the ugly freak Huang Menglei initially described him as, that was just her out of frustration, as he actually looked quite proper.

In fact, they hadn't yet reached the stage of an official engagement. It was just that once, Song Chu's father brought him to visit the Huang Family, and Song Chu was captivated by Huang Menglei's beauty upon seeing her!

Fathers know their sons best. Song Chu's father had also picked up on his son's feelings and decided to bring Song Chu to the Huang Family every once in a while thereafter.

After a few visits, Song Chu's father proposed the idea of marriage alliance, and by then, Huang Zhenhua and his wife already understood the intent of the father and son duo. Otherwise, why would they visit the Huang Family so frequently all of a sudden?

In front of Huang Menglei's parents, Song Chu always presented himself as polite and cultivated, and along with his good looks, he was quite favored by Huang Zhenhua and his wife.

After considering, Huang Zhenhua verbally agreed, saying that if Menglei had no objections, they would get engaged in a year!

He hadn't anticipated Huang Menglei's intense reaction; she ran away as soon as she heard the news!

Huang Zhenhua sent people to chase after her, not to forcibly bring her back for an engagement or anything, but because she had never left home before, they were worried!

Unfortunately, she couldn't be brought back, and she ended up disappearing!

While out, Huang Menglei was considerate enough to call back every week using a public phone to report her safety!

On the phone, Huang Zhenhua always told her to come back first and spend time getting to know Song Chu. If they were compatible, they could get engaged, and if not, it would be fine – after all, they viewed Song Chu as a good match, and who knows if the two might have feelings for each other?!

But Huang Menglei was adamant, insisting that her father must completely refuse before she would return!

Huang Menglei's firm stance had its reasons!

Because she had met Song Chu several times before, and although he tried hard to hide it, there was a lecherous glint in his eyes that didn't escape her notice!

It must be said, women tend to have sharp intuition about such things!

However, it wasn't something she could easily explain to her parents and could only show her resolve by giving the other party no chance!

With no other choice, after three to four persistent incidents, Huang Zhenhua and his wife, seeing that she remained unyielding, had to give up!

Even though Huang Zhenhua and his wife hadn't agreed to anything concrete, they felt somewhat embarrassed and prepared a significant gift to go to the Song Family to apologize...
