Ye Qian chuckled dryly and said, "This kid likes to spout nonsense, just ignore him."
Qin Yue was also curious about Ye Qian, feeling that he was more than just Zhao Ya's bodyguard; however, since Ye Qian wouldn't say, asking him would be pointless. She nodded slightly and turned her attention back to the jewelry exhibition.
Ye Qian glared at Jack and whispered, "Don't mess around, okay? This is China. If anything goes big, our plan will be completely ruined."
"Boss, when did you become so cautious? This is a great opportunity. We've planned everything. We can stay in China legitimately and the idiots at the Chinese security bureau won't even notice," Jack chuckled.
Ye Qian shook his head helplessly, "Don't underestimate those people at the security bureau; they are not vegetarians. They'll notice the slightest disturbance. Since you say everything is arranged, I won't say more. Just remember not to draw too much attention."
Jack grinned, nodded, and said, "Got it." After closing his laptop, he stood up to leave but then turned back as if he remembered something, "Boss, the big sister-in-law is not simple. Take good care of her."
Ye Qian smiled helplessly, realizing these kids had been busy. With a computer genius like Jack, it wasn't hard to dig up someone's background. But Ye Qian didn't ask; things weren't urgent, he could question this kid later tonight.
The jewelry exhibition was nearing its end. The host's voice boomed as the final masterpiece, a necklace named "Star of Love," was about to be presented. As the curtain fell, a Chinese model wearing the necklace slowly walked onto the stage. Designed specifically for Eastern women by the renowned designer Mary, the necklace not only showcased the gentleness and grace of Eastern women but also highlighted their unique feminine charm.
Even Ye Qian, who had no concept of jewelry, couldn't help but admire the necklace. Indeed, Mary had fully grasped the essence of Eastern women, which was distinct from that of Western women. The necklace truly highlighted the unique charm of Eastern women.
Qin Yue's usually cold expression showed a hint of excitement at the appearance of the "Star of Love," her body trembling slightly. Ye Qian, noticing Qin Yue's reaction, realized she was very interested in this necklace.
As the jewelry exhibition concluded successfully and a half-hour break was announced before the auction would start, a familiar youthful voice rang out just as Ye Qian and Qin Yue were about to leave their seats for the lobby's adjoining rest area.
"Big sister Yue, you're here too? Eh? What are you doing here?" It was Zhao Ya, her voice cheerful like a lark.
Turning, Ye Qian saw Zhao Ya and chuckled, "Wife, you came too, huh?"
"Ah... you little rascal, who's your wife?" Zhao Ya nearly exploded. Qin Yue merely smiled faintly, not revealing that Ye Qian was actually hired by Zhao Ya's father as her bodyguard. After Zhao Ya spoke, she turned to Qin Yue, surprised, "Big sister Yue, why are you with this little rascal?"
"Are you jealous?" Qin Yue teased, shifting the topic skillfully. Knowing Zhao Ya's straightforward nature, Qin Yue had ways to handle her.
Sure enough, Zhao Ya quickly forgot her initial question about why Qin Yue was with Ye Qian. "Big sister Yue, you're teasing me too? This little rascal is so bad, and you're not helping me. What kind of sister are you?" Zhao Ya cooed to Qin Yue.
"What did he do that was so bad?" Qin Yue continued teasingly.
"He… he… he's trying to be a cradle-snatcher." Ye Qian hadn't really done anything outrageous, but Zhao Ya had to come up with some reason.
Ye Qian, unable to help but laugh, then said, "How am I a cradle-snatcher? I'm only four years older than you, and besides, this was Mr. Zhao's idea. Do you think I'd want to marry you if not? You lack both figure and looks. Look at big sister Yue, now there's a real woman."
"You… you… ah…" Overwhelmed, Zhao Ya grabbed Ye Qian's arm and bit it. "Sss..." Ye Qian gasped, having forgotten that this girl was quite fierce, liking to bite.
"Big sister Yue, you see? This little rascal always bullies me. You have to help me get justice," Zhao Ya said, letting go of Ye Qian's arm and playfully shaking Qin Yue's.
Both families had been close for generations, and their business dealings were also quite intertwined. Although not publicly known at school, Qin Yue always treated Zhao Ya like a little sister in private. Qin Yue often tried to fulfill her little sister's requests. Knowing Zhao Ya for so long, Qin Yue could tell that the girl didn't really dislike Ye Qian; her hostility was mostly because he claimed to be her fiancé, which triggered her resistance.
With a light smile, Qin Yue said, "I really shouldn't get involved in you two lovebirds' affairs. You fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of it. If I really punished this boy for you, you might blame me later. I'd rather not be the villain."
"Big sister Yue, you're bullying me too. I'm not talking to you anymore," Zhao Ya said, pretending to be angry and turning her head away.
Of course, Qin Yue knew Zhao Ya was just acting, but she still went over to coax her. Sometimes, Qin Yue really didn't know what to do with this little sister.
"Boss, you're quite the ladies' man," whispered Li Wei, who had quietly approached Ye Qian, chuckling.
Since Zhao Ya had arrived, it was natural for Li Wei, her bodyguard, to come too, so Ye Qian wasn't surprised. He glanced at him and asked, "Do you know what those guys are planning?"
"Not really clear, seems like they're planning a big jewelry heist," Li Wei replied.
