Chapter 404 The Pearl Fairy
She looked up and saw it was Xiao Ling.
"sister in law."
As soon as she called out, the conversation inside stopped abruptly.
Xiao Ling had obviously overheard the conversation inside. She winked at her and deliberately said, "Weiwei, I was planning to bid on the Australian white wine for you, but I didn't expect Zhixu to be even more eager than me. He was willing to spend more than twice the price to bid on it for you. Aren't you touched?"
Liang Liangwei caught her hint and smiled, replying, "I am quite touched."
Xiao Ling: "Sigh, it's just that I couldn't be the one to send you the Australian white fish as I wished. But it's okay, I just ordered a pair of limited edition Tiffya pearl earrings for you. They'll go perfectly with the Australian white fish to match your cheongsam dress. You'll look beautiful wearing them when you get them~"
Liang Liangwei: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Xiao Ling: "Don't mention it. I really liked the brooch you gave me when you came to my house the other day. Several ladies saw it just now and complimented how beautiful it was. Speaking of which, your cheongsam is also a limited edition. It really suits your skin tone. Where did you get it?"
Liang Liangwei glanced at the cheongsam she was wearing in the mirror and smiled, saying, "Yan Zhixu gave it to me. I don't know where he got it."
Xiao Ling: "He's really willing to spend money on you; it seems he really likes you!"
Even though she knew she was saying it on purpose for the people inside to hear, Liang Liangwei's cheeks still burned: "Sister-in-law, please don't make fun of me."
Xiao Ling took her arm and said, "Let's go, let's go back and see if there's anything good left. It would be a pity if someone else snatched it up. It's rare for Zhixu to come to a jewelry auction, so if there's anything you like, just ask him to bid on a few more pieces for you."
After the two left, it took a while for the people in the cubicle to come out and look at each other in bewilderment.
But they dared not talk nonsense anymore.

Liang Liangwei sat down next to Yan Zhixu, and the man handed her a beautifully packaged box with the auction's logo printed on it.
Yan Zhixu: "This is an Australian white necklace sent by the organizers."
Liang Liangwei opened the box, and sure enough, there lay the Australian white pearls inside, exactly as pictured in the brochure. Each pearl was shimmering and seemed to carry the natural fragrance of pearls, which wafted into her heart, making her very happy.
Yan Zhixu: "Shall I help you put it on?"
Liang Liangwei nodded slightly.
He first removed the thin gold chain from her neck and replaced it with an Australian white pearl necklace.
The cheongsam collar perfectly showcased her slender and graceful neck, and the addition of a lustrous white pearl necklace instantly elevated her elegance to a whole new level.
Just then, an item was sold at auction, and during the brief interval of a few minutes, several wealthy ladies saw Yan Zhixu putting the necklace on her. The news spread like wildfire, and almost all the women in the room turned to look, whispering among themselves and exclaiming in admiration.
After Yan Zhixu helped her put it on, he didn't sit up straight. His gaze lingered on her, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.
“Good looking~”
Liang Liangwei noticed the gazes of those around her and felt a little embarrassed. She quickly nudged him and said, "Sit down and stop looking."
Yan Zhixu was pushed back into his seat, turned his head to look at her again, and smiled meaningfully: "You're beautiful but you won't let me see you, are you shy?"
Liang Liangwei: "You think everyone is as shameless as you, with skin as thick as a city wall?"
He chuckled lightly, said nothing more, covered her hand with his, and slowly intertwined their fingers.
The next item was being presented on stage. She looked at it and saw a diamond bracelet, which wasn't her type, so she wasn't very interested.
"Is there anything you'd like to photograph in the back?" she asked softly.
Yan Zhixu nodded slightly: "I have two items in my collection that I would like to bid on and put in the villa that is currently being renovated."
Liang Liangwei: "Are you renovating a villa?"
Yan Zhixu: "Yes, do you like villas?"
Liang Liangwei tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Villas are quite unique. Although they are comfortable to live in, they are usually far from the city center, which makes it inconvenient to go to work."
Yan Zhixu: "If you like, we can stay in the city during the week and in the villa on weekends. The villa has a nice environment, so it can be a good vacation to relax."
That's a good idea!
Seeing that she nodded, Yan Zhixu said, "I'll show you some pictures of the villas I have later. If you like any of them, I'll have them decorated and you can move in soon."
Liang Liangwei was taken aback. So, the villa he was renovating wasn't for him to live in?
However, this wasn't a good time to ask questions, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
After spending another hour at the auction, Yan Zhixu purchased a masterpiece of traditional Chinese painting and a jade ornament, each for nearly ten million yuan.
After the auction, those who won the bids got their desired items, and acquaintances chatted briefly among themselves.
Yan Yunting and Xiao Ling walked towards them carrying the items they were bidding on.
Xiao Ling looked at the Australian white jade necklace around Liang Liangwei's neck, nodded and smiled, "It really looks beautiful~"
She handed one of the bags in her hand to Liang Liangwei: "These are for you, pearl earrings."
Liang Liangwei accepted it with both hands: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
She opened it, took it out, and immediately put it on.
Xiao Ling joked, "Pearl Fairy~"
Liang Liangwei replied playfully, "Yes, thanks to my sister-in-law, I can temporarily dress up as the Pearl Fairy tonight~"
Yan Yunting handed a small box to Yan Zhixu, saying, "This blue and white porcelain is for you to display in the villa."
Yan Zhixu accepted it, saying, "Brother, you're so kind."
Yan Yunting: "The Pixiu that Dad ordered will be delivered in a few days. We'll have someone deliver it to you then."
Yan Zhixu: "Okay."
Liang Liangwei overheard the brothers' conversation. It turned out they both knew about his villa renovation and were even preparing gifts for him.

It was late at night when I got home.
Liang Liangwei went back to her room, took a shower, and carefully put the Australian white necklace and pearl earrings back into the box. She also carefully put the cheongsam she had changed out of into the dry cleaning basket.
She dried her hair and took care of her skin, but the man still didn't return to the room.
Before she returned to her room, Yan Zhixu said that she needed to put the things she had photographed back in the study first. Had it been so long since she finished taking pictures?
She walked out of the room, puzzled, and headed towards the study.
Sure enough, a sliver of light shone from under the study door, and she went over and knocked.
"Come in."
She pushed open the door and went in, and saw the man sitting at his desk looking through some pictures.
What are you looking at? Are you busy working?
Yan Zhixu: "You've come at the right time. Come and look at the pictures of the villas, choose the one you like, and I'll have someone do a high-end renovation and cleaning."
Liang Liangwei walked to the table and, sure enough, saw that his hands were full of pictures of villas.
"You're really planning to live in a villa? I was just saying."
Yan Zhixu pulled her onto his lap and said, "It's not a bad thing to prepare more houses. Just think of it as making preparations in advance, so that you'll have somewhere to go if you want to change your living environment later."
Liang Liangwei looked at the pictures and selected two: "Both of these are nice. This one has a sunroom that I like, where I can sunbathe and swim; this one has a big garden, which makes me feel good. You can choose one."
She thought she was the one giving advice, but Yan Zhixu put both of them in front of her and put the others aside.
"Let's install them in both buildings then, and we can switch between them."
Liang Liangwei: "...Huh?"
Yan Zhixu pondered: "Or maybe we've put all of these away? Anyway, they're already under my name, so they're just sitting there unused."
Liang Liangwei sweated profusely: "There are at least seven or eight buildings here."
Yan Zhixu: "These are just in Huacheng. We also have them in Yancheng, Jincheng, Haicheng, Guangcheng, Gangcheng, and Shacheng..."
Liang Liangwei quickly covered his mouth: "Those are too far away, let's forget about them, we can't accommodate that many people."
Yan Zhixu chuckled: "I just wanted you to know that if you travel to these cities on business in the future, you don't need to stay in a hotel; you can stay in a local villa directly."
Liang Liangwei: "...It's not impossible."
Yan Zhixu affectionately ruffled her hair: "Then let's install these two buildings first, and we'll do the rest later."
Liang Liangwei had no objections; after all, it was his boss's house, and she was just there to keep him company.
Thinking of the house that was being renovated, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "You said that house that's being renovated isn't for you to live in, so who is it prepared for?"
Yan Zhixu: "It's for my maternal grandparents. They plan to return to China next year to settle down and live in the villa I prepared for them."
