Moreover, all those who were going were extremely wealthy. Obviously, the auctioned items would definitely be very costly.

“Of course I"ll buy it! Brother is rich!” William raised his handsome face, looking extremely pompous.

Mu Xiaoxiao acted coquettishly as she shook his arm and said, “Brother, you"re too rich! Is your family lacking a sister? How about I be your sister?”

William smiled as he pinched her nose. “I have no problem with that, but you are your father"s precious baby. Do you think that he will consent to it?”

Besides, though his family was rich, so was hers.

However, this girl seemed to have no clue about just how powerful her own family was.

Mu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue. She could totally imagine that her father would definitely go mad after hearing her say that.

William took her to wash her face before taking her to a restaurant to eat.

Time had gone by quickly, and it was already close to lunch time.

“What would you like to eat?” he asked.

“I"m fine with anything,” Mu Xiaoxiao said as she looked around the restaurant. It seemed to be a Chinese restaurant, and she could smell the familiar fragrance of delicacies.

“When you went back to China, were you used to the food there?”

“Yeah, I was. We eat a lot of Chinese food at home; how could I not be used to it? Oh yeah! When I went back, I ate a Cantonese-style morning tea, and I liked it so much! Pity that they don"t have the real thing here in America.”

On the mention of this, Mu Xiaoxiao could not help but recall the time that she spent at the hot spring villa and the things that happened there.

Ripples of emotion could be seen in her eyes as Mu Xiaoxiao stopped talking, but because William had not turned back to look, he didn"t notice it.

“Eat Chinese food then?” he asked.

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded tepidly, losing her high spirit from earlier. “Yeah, I"m fine with Chinese food. I"m feeling like drinking soup suddenly.”

The two found seats and sat down. The restaurant"s manager then came to them personally.

“Young Master William, what would you like to eat?”

William pushed the menu to Mu Xiaoxiao. “You order. I"m not familiar with Chinese food.”

Mu Xiaoxiao picked a few dishes and some soup at random.

William loudly snapped his fingers to beckon the waiter and gave him some instructions.

Just as Mu Xiaoxiao was in her thoughts with her head lowered, something pink was s.h.i.+fted in front of her.

She took a look, and it was actually a strawberry cake!

“Eat some first. It seems that Chinese food is slow to prepare. You should be hungry, right?” William asked.

Mu Xiaoxiao was moved as she stared at him. “William— you"re so considerate!”

William squinted as he looked at her, his hand giving her forehead a push. “You ungrateful little thing. Do you think I would be this considerate to just anyone?”

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head as if she was a little chick pecking at rice, and she said in a soft voice, “I know, I know. You treat me the best.”

William reached out his hand and touched her head. “So, you"d better regain your spirits, and stop looking so listless. It makes me uncomfortable looking at you.”

The Mu Xiaoxiao that he knew was a girl full of energy and personality, not like a dejected girl who seemed to have lost her spirit.

William could feel that this girl had attached deep feelings onto the guy from earlier.

The deeper she fell into love, the greater the pain upon getting hurt.

This was something that he understood deeply from experience, so he did not want to see her go through the same thing.

He could not help but ask, “You and that guy should have known each other for a long time, right?”

Considering that she had only returned to China for slightly more than a month, even if she had really liked someone, it couldn"t have developed into such a deep love in such a short while.

Though Mu Xiaoxiao did not really like to discuss it, William was her good friend and had also put so much effort into helping her lift her mood.
