Chapter 18 - Jealous Eyes

'What is he doing? Is he trying to ruin her plan?' Lena was not very happy.

Ming Zhao was just watching the bid go for a while in the back since he arrived late, but seeing that Lena was up to something, he decided to have some fun too.

"40 million." Kris spoke.

"50 million."

'Damn this man!' Kris was running out of patience.

"100 million." A few seconds pass.

"Mr. Zhao, are you gonna bid?" Abby asked. Ming Zhao shook his head and smiled.

"100 million going once… twice… and sold to Mr. Kris Li."

The audience mouth dropped. These two kings really know how to spend their money and flex their wealth. This year's foundations are lucky to have such donations.

More items were auctioned and at the end, it was a time for foundations leaders to be thankful to all the people who attended the event.

The after party started as the music played and people began chatting again.

"I didn't know you have such a beautiful and outstanding daughter." CEO Zhao spoke to Shen Mao.

"Nice to meet you, CEO Zhao and Madam Zhao. Excuse my tardiness that I was not able to greet you before." Lena bowed respectively as she greeted them.

"Ah, how sweet of you. I am more embarrassed for my son arriving the latest." Madam Zhao smiled as she stared at her son who was walking their way.

Ming Zhao walked over and greeted everyone.

"Ming-Er, why don't you invite Miss. Shen to dance with you while the adults talk some more hmm?"

Ming Zhao turned over to Lena and held out his hand. "May I invite you for a dance?"

Lena wanted to deny, but with everyone here, she just smiled and went with him.

As they both walked to the dance floor, many people were staring at them. Their aura and cuteness were heavenly blinding.

"Is it just me or Lena Shen looks better with Ming Zhao than Andy Yang?"

"I was just thinking the same!"

Lena kept her smile as she put her arms on his shoulder and him, putting his on her waist.

"You really know how to put up that face." Ming Zhao snarked up a comment.

"Of course. I am very much a talented woman."

"Heh… you should have seen your face when I bid on that necklace."

Lena finally turned to look at him instead of the crowd. Her eyes were fierce but her smile was still as confident as usual.

"Tsk… no matter who got the item, I only put the item into auctioned to catch a mouse."

"A mouse? Are you sure you are not catching a tiger instead?"

"Hah… whether a mouse or tiger, I will capture them all. Unlike you… you have so many flies around you."

Lena stared back at the crowd at all the jealous woman staring at them.

"She stole Andy from us and now she wants to steal Ming. Despicable woman."

"Remember too that she kissed Kris! She cannot stay with one man?!"

But what really surprised Lena's eye was how Eva looked at them. She knew those looks in her eye... Because she had those exact eyes when she looked at Eva and Andy.

What Lena could not really understand was that Eva is madly in love with Andy, why is she jealous of Lena and Ming dancing?

Lena looked back at Ming Zhao who doesn't seem to be enjoying the dance nor paying attention to the crowd.

'Could it be that Ming Zhao the second lead, not Kris? Interesting…'

Just then, Lena also caught a glimpse of her "mouse." She turned her attention back to Ming Zhao, tightened her arms around his neck for a more intimate pose.

"I have spotted my mouse, now you be a good boy aye?" She quickly went close for a peck on his cheeks then loosen her arms and swiftly left the dancing floor before the music ended.

Only the young women who were continuously staring at them saw that. And obviously, such a move did not escape the keen eyes of a certain man.

"What was that?" Ming Zhao mumbled to himself as he was left alone. He rubbed the area where she kissed him. "Aish… I need a drink.
