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 shifted 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 .
