There was a lot of information about the production of local special crafts at these counters. The polishing and cutting techniques were explained and easy to understand.

After Qiao Sisi spoke to Lin Ya for a while, they browsed around on their own. It was very quiet in the jade museum.

Everyone was very considerate and did not cause any disturbance.

Looking at these special techniques, Qiao Sisi thought about her drafts of the Deep Sea series.

What must I do to achieve perfection? she wondered.

…

Ten minutes later.

Qiao Sisi was looking at some information when two people walked by together. Their conversation caught her attention.

“I heard that the small jewelry auction is about to begin. It’s at the end of the street. Come, let’s go take a look,” one of them said.

“A small auction? I’ll join in the fun.” Another person was a little surprised and quickly followed them.

Qiao Sisi watched them leave and lowered her head again.

Jewelry Auction… To be honest, she had never attended one before, but she definitely could not attend such a thing right now.

If she had the chance in the future, she would go and broaden her horizons.

The junior assistant was still in communication and had made some moves. Qiao Sisi took out her phone to take a look. There was no new message on the information page.

She was about to put her phone back when it vibrated.

Oh my God.

Qiao Sisi’s pupils were constricted. Why is Zheng Zeyi calling me?

She looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her. She quickly picked up the phone. “Hello?”

“Baby.” His attractive voice sounded from the other end of the phone, like an electric current running through her heart.

Sh*t.

Qiao Sisi’s expression did not change as a storm brewed in her heart, giving her goosebumps.

She wondered why she had this strange feeling. What the hell!

“Be normal, Zheng Zeyi. What’s wrong?” Qiao Sisi suppressed the urge to swear. Who knows what Zheng Zeyi is thinking?

We are pretending to be engaged. How could he take it seriously? she thought.

On the other end, Zheng Zeyi laughed softly. “It’s nothing. I just missed you.”

“… I’m hanging up.”

When he heard this, Zheng Zeyi’s smile deepened. His laughter filled Qiao Sisi’s ears and made her heart race.

He paused. “Look up. I’m at the door.”

Hearing this, Qiao Sisi suddenly looked up. Sure enough, she saw a familiar figure at the door, holding a phone in his hand.

It was Zheng Zeyi!

Dressed in a tailored black suit, his features were exquisite. His thin lips curled into a faint smile as he looked at her.

Qiao Sisi was thunderstruck and stood rooted to the spot for a long time.

She never thought that she would meet Zheng Zeyi in Yunqi! Didn’t this guy have something to do? she wondered.

There was no answer to her question. Qiao Sisi widened her mouth and looked at the god-like Zheng Zeyi.

Zheng Zeyi raised his eyebrows and walked quickly to Qiao Sisi’s side. His overpowering aura brought her out of her thoughts.

“Zheng Zeyi, why are you here?” This was the only question Qiao Sisi had. The two of them were still on the phone.

When she heard the reply, she quickly hung up and put the phone back in her pocket.

Zheng Zeyi asked, “Can’t I?”

Qiao Sisi choked. She did not say no. “No, what I mean is, why are you in Yunqi? Weren’t you away?”

“Being away didn’t mean I had to be in H City.” Zheng Zeyi’s gaze was nonchalant.

What he said made sense. He would go wherever business took him. He did not mention that he was in H City, so Yunqi should not be too surprised.

Qiao Sisi understood and did not ask anymore. She was just shocked.

“Come with me to a place,” Zheng Zeyi said suddenly.

Before anyone could say anything, Zheng Zeyi held Qiao Sisi’s hand and was about to leave the jade museum. Qiao Sisi quickly stopped. “Wait! I’m still working. I can’t walk away.”

This is a business trip, not a vacation. Qiao Sisi felt extremely frustrated.

Zheng Zeyi stopped in his tracks and pulled Qiao Sisi to the front desk. Since it was a business trip, they could just get permission.

At the front desk, Ye Chen and the junior assistant bumped into Zheng Zeyi as they were wrapping up their work.

“CEO Zheng? Hello.” The junior assistant was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses and greeted him. She was not surprised to see Qiao Sisi standing beside Zheng Zeyi.

It seemed like she knew that Qiao Sisi was Zheng Zeyi’s fiancée.

“Okay,” Zheng Zeyi said calmly. He looked at Ye Chen. The two of them had a similar aura.

As they looked at each other, sparks seemed to fly.

Even Qiao Sisi, who was beside them, could sense that the atmosphere was not right.

What are these two doing? she wondered.

“This…” Qiao Sisi was speechless, and the junior assistant beside her did not dare to interrupt. The two men stared at each other for a long time before stopping.

The first to greet him was Ye Chen. “Hello, I’m Ye Chen, How are you, CEO Zheng?”

Faced with such polite behavior, Zheng Zeyi’s lips curled up. He only said these words, “Zheng Zeyi.”

Qiao Sisi watched from the side and felt that it was funny, so she lowered her head to hide her expression.

“I want to take Sisi out.” Zheng Zeyi turned to look at the junior assistant.

Being stared at by Zheng Zeyi all of a sudden, the junior assistant, who was usually very calm, started to panic. She composed herself and said, “Okay, CEO Zheng, you can do it.”

No one dared to stop him.

“Is that alright?” Hearing the junior assistant’s words, Zheng Zeyi tightened his grip and realized that Qiao Sisi had her head lowered.

“Okay.” Qiao Sisi nodded and did not reject.

She did not miss what he said just now. Since he insisted on taking her out, she would go with him and see what this guy was up to.

Zheng Zeyi started pulling Qiao Sisi out of the jade museum. When they passed by Lin Ya, she saw the surprise on her face and muttered, “Wait for me to come back.”

“Okay.” Lin Ya gave an ‘okay’ sign.

Qiao Sisi did not notice that Ye Chen was looking at her and Zheng Zeyi’s backs with a strange expression.

The street outside was bustling with noise. It was clamorous but not annoying.

Once they were out the door, Qiao Sisi let go of Zheng Zeyi’s hand.

It was one thing to put on a show in front of her colleagues. Now that they had left the jade museum, there was no need to pretend to be engaged.

“Tell me, where are you taking me?” Qiao Sisi rubbed her wrist and looked around at the people on the street.

Zheng Zeyi did not say anything when Qiao Sisi flung his hand away. He walked in big steps. “Follow me. You’ll know later.”

The tall figure walked in front. Qiao Sisi muttered and followed.
