Chapter 815

Are you really thinking about Shu Xia?

"No, it's just that I haven't worked for a long time, and the workload these past two days has been heavy," Shu Xia explained.

Qiao Muting pressed his thin lips together, "Look at me and answer."

Did she think he hadn't sensed it?

Shu Xia raised her eyes.

She looked directly into Qiao Muting's eyes.

In Qiao Muting's eyes, there seemed to be ten thousand galaxies; she was in the midst of them, just a tiny star.

Shu Xia's heart tightened, and she asked in return, "Why would I want to avoid you?"

Qiao Muting was left speechless by the question.

Their eyes met for a long time.

Finally, Qiao Muting did not ask again and turned off the light, "Sleep."

Shu Xia responded softly, "Mm."

——

The next morning.

Shu Xia and Qiao Muting ate breakfast and went to work separately.

On the way, Gu Lao called Shu Xia and said he wanted to take her to an auction.

This auction had quite a few antiques brought back from abroad.

They had already undergone professional appraisal, and there were no fakes.

Gu Lao said on the phone that because these were items the auction house had bought back from abroad, it was very likely that some messy Evil Objects were mixed in among them.

The person in charge of the auction was a friend of Gu Lao's, and he revealed that the person who sold these antiques was an elderly person.

But the elderly person did not leave any contact information.

The person in charge also did not remember what the elderly person looked like; many elderly people actually look about the same, with wrinkles on their faces, and on top of that, the elderly person was wearing a mask, which made no deep impression.

Shu Xia turned on the navigation and went to the auction.

Gu Lao was waiting for her at the entrance.

After they met, Gu Lao whispered to her, "Have you had any news about Zhong Nainai recently?"

"There has been no news about Zhong Nainai, and her phone has also been turned off," Shu Xia shook her head.

She was very worried about Zhong Nainai's safety; with no news for so long, she did not know where Zhong Nainai had gone.

Gu Lao was a bit dejected, "She was very resolute when she left Jing City back then; there was no news for twenty or thirty years, and now she has disappeared without a trace again. If Zhong Nainai were here, that person hiding in the shadows wanting to harm others would definitely not dare to act recklessly."

Shu Xia prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Zhong Nainai was safe and sound.

Gu Lao took Shu Xia into the venue.

On the way, he greeted quite a few people.

If someone did not know Shu Xia, Gu Lao would take the opportunity to introduce Shu Xia to his friends.

After all, Shu Xia had not been at Gu Lao's company for long, and not many people knew her, but they all gave Gu Lao face and were very polite to Shu Xia.

After sitting down, Shu Xia felt a gaze from behind, looking at her with malice that could not be ignored.

Being watched for a long time, she felt uncomfortable.

Shu Xia turned her head to look.

She happened to bump into Xu Zihan's line of sight.

Today, Xu Zihan was wearing a gown, and her hair was styled in large waves, looking bright and stunning.

It was just that there was still scrutiny and disdain in her eyes that she hadn't had time to pull back.

Just like when they ran into each other at the restaurant not long ago.

Shu Xia did not know where Xu Zihan's sense of superiority came from; when facing her, she was always condescending and disdainful.

If it was because of Qiao Muting, then she had nothing to say.

If those two had anything going on, it had nothing to do with her.

Her gaze was cold, and she turned her head away after just one look.

Gu Lao noticed her unusual behavior, "What's wrong, Xia Xia?"

"Gu Lao, I'm fine," Shu Xia replied with a smile.

Seeing Shu Xia's cold attitude and complete lack of guilt, Xu Zihan felt as if she had swallowed a fly, "It really refreshes the bottom line time after time, so dirty!"
