Power and Wealth

One day...

Two days...

Three days...

One month passed quickly.

Yun De Auction Company’s Jade Auction had started. A Hong Kong businessman won a pair of jade bracelets at 12.5 million RMB, and the other pair, which is of better quality, is won by a young man with a Beijing accent. The transacted price is slightly over 17 million RMB. Although there are taxes and other expenses, Yun De Auction Company’s asset exceeded the 30 million mark, and the company’s reputation in the industry raised.

Afternoon. Qu Yunxuan’s house.

It is Autumn, and white clouds hang in the blue skies.

The sun in Autumn is warm, and the cool breeze blew dry leaves off the branches.

Dong Xuebing did not attend the Jade Auction in the morning and remained in Qu Yunxuan’s home to wait for her. It’s not that he does not want to watch the auction with his own eyes, but he had attended one of the auctions in the past and purposely raise the bids on the wild ginseng and the Jade hairpin before. If he attended this auction and met someone who was at the previous auctions, he will be exposed. But Qu Yunxuan gave him a live update over the phone during the auction.

Dong Xuebing, who is still in his wheelchair, is cutting vegetables in the kitchen, preparing for their dinner. His legs are healing well, but he still cannot leave the wheelchair. The chopping board and the sink are high, and it is difficult to do these chores while sitting in a wheelchair.

Click! There were some movements in the living room, and the door opened.

Qu Yunxuan, who was in a business suit, entered. “Xiao Bing, I am back.”

“I am in the kitchen. Are you tired?”

The clicking sounds of heels got nearer, and Qu Yunxuan saw Dong Xuebing cutting vegetables with difficulties. She gave him a stare and scolded. “Are you looking for a beating? How are you going to cook in your condition? What if you get hurt? You are making me worry. Put down the knife and let me do it!”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “This injury is nothing, and it is my pleasure to cook for you.”

Qu Yunxuan gave him a sideward glare and smiled. “You... are a sweet talker.”

“You know I am not good with words...” At work, Dong Xuebing is a good talker and can say all sorts of things to flatter his superiors. But in front of women, he will still stutter.

Qu Yunxuan reached over and pinched Dong Xuebing’s cheeks. “You are not good with words? You sweet-talked me into getting my first kiss, touched all over me, and even tricked me to... sleep with you. I can’t imagine what will happen to me if you are better with your words. You only know how to bully me!”

Dong Xuebing replied innocently. “When did I bully you?”

“What do you think?” Qu Yunxuan flicked Dong Xuebing’s forehead lightly. “You pervert! I will give you a good beating sooner or later!”

“Hehe... Xuanxuan... you are so pretty today.”

“Stop it!”

“I am serious. You look sexier than usual.”

“I will hit you if you carry on! Move aside! I will cook dinner tonight.”

As the Auction Company grows bigger, Qu Yunxuan has been in a good mood. Dong Xuebing could feel Aunt Xuan’s gentleness and sexiness, and he was attracted to it. She is the type of businesswoman who takes good care of her family.

During dinner, Qu Yunxuan took out a few small gift boxes from her bag, and place it on the table.

Dong Xuebing asked. “What are these?”

“Hehe... open up and see for yourself. These are for you.”

Dong Xuebing opened the black box, nearest to him, and there was a yellow silk cloth covering the items inside. He lifted the cloth and saw a Qilin pendant. The pendant is made from the Ice grade Jade from the Jadestone they bought a few weeks ago.

“Eh? Why didn’t you auction it off at the auction?”

“This pendant will also fetch a few hundred thousand at most, and we don’t lack money.”

“It will be a waste for me to carry it. You should wear it on your waist.”

“This type of pendant is for men, and it is useless for me to wear it. Furthermore, connections are very important in the Government sector. If you need to give gifts, this pendant will be useful. Hehe... don’t think that this Qilin pendant is not as valuable as Glass grade Jade. Ice grade Jade is also very rare in the market. Even if you are not giving it as gifts, you will also be outstanding if you wear it on your waist. This is more valuable than gold.” Qu Yunxuan said. She had planned for Dong Xuebing, and that’s why she did not sell these small jade pieces at the auctions. These leftover pieces of Jade were made into small jade jewelry and it doesn’t cost much.

Dong Xuebing smiled. “You think I am not outstanding now? My Mercedes is already over a million RMB. If I still wear this pendant, the Commission for Discipline Inspection will be inviting me to have tea with them.”

Qu Yunxuan looked at Dong Xuebing. “You are my nephew. What’s wrong with me giving some gifts to my nephew? The Commission for Discipline Inspection dares to say anything?”

“Huh? Who is your nephew?!”

“Haha... try it on.”

Dong Xuebing took out the Qilin Pendant and hung it on his waist. “Hmmm... not bad... Let me see what else do we have.” The other two boxes are also similar items. One of them is a Glass grade Jade necklace, and the other is a Platinum ring with a Glass grade Jade ring surface. These two items are small, and the green color is not deep. That’s why it is not as valuable as the Qilin pendant. But each one of them is worth tens of thousands.

There is only one box left. Dong Xuebing could tell it is a watch from the box.

Qu Yunxuan laughed. “You cannot give this watch to others. This is a gift from me. Patek Philippe. This is one of the most expensive watches in the world. It is not easy to get this model. I went to a few auctions before I get it. Hehe... try it.”

Dong Xuebing almost fainted. “Patek Philippe? You want the Commission for Discipline Inspection to look for me?”

“You don’t like it?” Qu Yunxuan was slightly disappointed.

Dong Xuebing quickly replied. “I love it. Help me put it on.” contemporary romance

Qu Yunxuan laughed. “I am not asking you to wear it to work. You can always wear it at home.” Qu Yunxuan pulled Dong Xuebing’s hand over and slowly put on the watch for him. The model for this watch is Patek-Philippe-ref.5971p. It is a chronograph watch and has several diamonds on the dial. One look and you can tell it is a luxurious watch. Qu Yunxuan looked at Dong Xuebing and nodded with approval. “Look... it suits you well.”

“This watch cost over ten thousand?”

“......”

“Err... over a hundred thousand?”

“A little more than that.”

Dong Xuebing took a deep breath. “1 million?”

Qu Yunxuan laughed. “Slightly more than that.”

“... 1.5 million?”

“You are almost there. It is slightly below 2 million.”

Dong Xuebing wiped the sweat on his forehead. “It is more expensive than my Mercedes Benz?”

But this watch is worth its price. Dong Xuebing like this watch. “Alright. Since it is waterproof, I will not take it off. I think people will think this is an imitation when they see it.” Although Patek Philippe does not have as many imitations as Rolex, you can still see them around on the streets. Even the experts will not know this is genuine unless they check the serial number.

Dong Xuebing suddenly felt his ego is inflated.

Dong Xuebing is hanging a jade pendant worth a few hundred thousand RMB on his waist and is wearing a watch worth almost 2 million. He looks more like a Nouveau riche now. But Dong Xuebing is indeed a Nouveau riche. Just a year ago, he did not even have 1,000 RMB in his body, and today, his asset is over 10 million.

After dinner, Qu Yunxuan switched off the lights and pushed Dong Xuebing to the living room to look at the moon.

It’s almost mid-autumn festive, and the moon is round and beautiful.

They admired the moon for a while, and Dong Xuebing starts to be naughty. His hand reached out to caress Qu Yunxuan’s thighs, enjoying the sensation of the stocking material rubbing against his palm. It’s been more than one month. Other than the first day at the hospital, Dong Xuebing had not touched her. Qu Yunxuan was afraid that vigorous movements might aggravate his legs’ injury. After holding back for so long, Dong Xuebing could not stand it anymore. Qu Yunxuan’s legs trembled and took a glance at him without saying a word. After that, she continues to look out of the window.

“Aunt Xuan, can I discuss something with you?”

“...... What naughty thoughts do you have in mind?”

“Errr... I... our company had made so much money this time, and without that Jadestone, our company will not grow so fast. I am considered the main contributor to this, right? Hehe... don’t you think I should be rewarded?” This had become a practice. Every time the company makes money, Dong Xuebing will shamelessly request something from Qu Yunxuan.

“Didn’t I give you a watch?”

“That is material goods. Err... I need something spiritual too.”

“I know you are up to no good!”

“Huh? I still have not to say what I want.”

Qu Yunxuan gave Dong Xuebing a stare. “Other than ‘that,’ what else can you think of?”

“Ah... who says there is nothing else in my mind? I... fine... just say if you agree or not.”

“Agree to what? Your legs are not healed yet.”

“Then you can be on the top. Didn’t you enjoy yourself that day when you are sitting on me?”

Qu Yunxuan’s face turns red and pinched Dong Xuebing’s arm. “Stop talking about that! If you say one more word, I will smack your butt! I was out of my mind that day and gave in to your demands because I pitied you. I will not do it again!” Qu Yunxuan paused for a while as she can’t stand Dong Xuebing’s puppy eyes. She added. “I had been busy with work recently, and my neck and back hurt. Didn’t you see me taking medication for the pain this morning?”

“Tsk... what should we do now?”

“Nothing!”

“Err... why not you... use your mouth?”

Qu Yunxuan immediately blushed and smacked Dong Xuebing on his head. “You don’t care how I feel!”

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. “Who says I don’t care? I am just feeling uncomfortable. Ok?”

“What, ok?!”

“It’s not like you have never used your mouth before. What’s there to be shy?”

“You are the death of me!”

“Aunt Xuan, just twenty minutes, ok? If you are tired, I will give you a massage later.”

“......”

“Xiao Xuanxuan.”

“......”

In the end, Qu Yunxuan gave in to Dong Xuebing’s relentless persuasions.

Twenty minutes later...

Dong Xuebing finally relaxed and released his grip on Qu Yunxuan’s head.

Suddenly, there was a click, and the metal gates outside opened!

“Yunxuan.” It’s Qu Yunxuan’s mother!

Dong Xuebing was startled. Although Aunt Xuan’s parents knew about them, they must not see what they are doing now. Qu Yunxuan panicked and quickly closed her mouth and pull up Dong Xuebing’s zip.

“Why is this girl not back yet?” Qu Yunxuan’s mother grumbled.

Qu Yunxuan’s father said. “There is an auction at her company today, and she might be busy.”

Click... Qu Yunxuan’s mother switched on the lights of the living room and saw Qu Yunxuan and Dong Xuebing there.

Qu Yunxuan’s father asked. “You all are at home, and why didn’t you all say anything? Why are all the lights off?”

Dong Xuebing replied embarrassedly. “Aunty, Uncle... errm... we felt asleep earlier and just woke up.”

Qu Yunxuan’s father said. “Go and sleep in the room. Why are you sleeping on the sofa? It’s not good for your neck.”

Dong Xuebing and Qu Yunxuan’s faces are all red. Qu Yunxuan’s mouth was still shut, but she must say something now. She forced herself to swallow the ‘stuff’ in her mouth, held back the urged to vomit, and forced a smile. “Mum, Dad, didn’t you two days you will be coming over tomorrow? How come you two are here today?”

Qu Yunxuan’s father replied helplessly. “Your mother heard that your company had made a lot of money and can’t wait to come over.”

“Have you all taken dinner? I will go and prepare something.”

“No need. We come over after dinner.”

Qu Yunxuan’s father is a conservative and simple person. He could not tell what was going on, but Qu Yunxuan’s mother knew. She saw the lights were off, and they were behaving awkwardly. Her glance stopped at her daughter’s red glistering lips and was furious. She immediately gave Qu Yunxuan a stare.

Dong Xuebing was embarrassed.

Qu Yunxuan also felt guilty and cleared her throat.

Qu Yunxuan’s mother let out an angry ‘Hmph!” She had always been proud of her pretty daughter and had been teaching her to be a virtuous and gentle woman from young. She hopes Qu Yunxuan can find a rich husband in the future. But after Qu Yunxuan met Dong Xuebing, her reserves and restrained were all gone. Not only had they been sleeping together, and they are still doing such shameless things in the living room!

Qu Yunxuan tried to strike a conversation. “How is the traffic condition?”

“It’s fine.” Qu Yunxuan’s mother was not in the mood to speak to her daughter. She looked at Dong Xuebing. “Xiao Bing, how are your legs?”

“I should be able to walk next month.”

“Will you have any side effects in the future? Like walking with a limp?”

“Huh? No..., the doctor said my injuries are no so serious.”

“Haha... that’s good.”

Qu Yunxuan’s mother had heard from her daughter that the company had earned 30 million, and her impression of Dong Xuebing got better immediately. She held Dong Xuebing’s hand as she asked about his condition. At the same time, she also asked about his plans for the money. Dong Xuebing told Qu Yunxuan’s mother that he would let Qu Yunxuan decide on how they will use the money, and Qu Yunxuan’s mother was satisfied with this answer. Qu Yunxuan’s father still felt uncomfortable as his daughter is older than Dong Xuebing by a few years. He did not say a word, but he had accepted Dong Xuebing as his son-in-law.

As they chatted, Qu Yunxuan’s mother suddenly asked.

Qu Yunxuan’s mother patted Dong Xuebing’s hand and asked. “Xiao Bing... you are 24 this year?”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “It’s not my birthday yet.

Qu Yunxuan’s mother nodded and smiles. “Yunxuan is going to be 30 soon. At her age, she should have children but look at her. She is not anxious at all. Sigh... she is not anxious, but as her parents, we are concern about her. Her father had brought up this subject to me several times. You are doing well in your career and is a Deputy Bureau Chief now. Your company had also earned so much money... Don’t you think it’s time to ask your mother to come to Beijing to discuss your marriage with Yunxuan?”

Marriage? Dong Xuebing could feel sweat forming on his forehead. “Err... this will depend on Aunt Xuan.”

Qu Yunxuan’s mother said unhappily. “You still call her Aunt Xuan?!”

“Huh? This is up to Yunxuan to decide.”

Qu Yunxuan’s parents looked at Qu Yunxuan.

Qu Yunxuan blushed. “We had just got together. How can we talk about marriage so soon? Let’s talk about this next year.”

Qu Yunxuan’s mother got mad. “Damn brat! When it’s time for you to be reserved, you are not reserved. When it’s not the time for you to be reserved, you become reserved. Are you trying to make me mad?”

Dong Xuebing looked at the mother, and the daughter argued and rubbed his temples.

Marriage? Relationship?

Sister Xie? Aunt Xuan?

Dong Xuebing felt it’s time for him to make a decision and cannot drag this on further!
