"What? You're not really going to have her be a maid, are you?" Lin Yifan was somewhat scared.

After all, Su Qingqing was the woman he loved; if she couldn't even be a concubine, that would be truly miserable.

"Didn't you say that she was willing to become my maid for you? Then, I will test her properly to see if she truly loves you that much," Zhou Jiajia replied.

In fact, Zhou Jiajia had already accepted Su Qingqing in her heart; she was doing this just to verify Su Qingqing's love for Lin Yifan.

Lin Yifan heard the meaning behind Zhou Jiajia's words and gratefully said, "Jiajia! Thank you, thank you for your love, thank you for your acceptance."

"Hmph!" Zhou Jiajia snorted. For Lin Yifan's sake, she had already made the biggest concession and then warned, "I'm going to remind you, two at most, any more and I'll outright refuse."

"The three of you are enough; any more and I couldn't handle it either," Lin Yifan responded readily.

"That's more like it!" Zhou Jiajia lifted her lips in satisfaction and then asked, "Are you going to call her?"

"Why don't you make the call? I'm afraid my voice will cause her to worry," Lin Yifan answered.

His voice was now aged and different from before; therefore, he feared it would raise Su Qingqing's suspicions.

Zhou Jiajia thought there was some sense to that, so she asked, "What do you want to tell her?"

"Actually, I want her to do something for me," Lin Yifan replied.

"What is it?" Zhou Jiajia asked curiously.

Lin Yifan explained the task in detail to Zhou Jiajia, asking her to convey it.

Upon hearing that Lin Yifan wanted to auction off something, Zhou Jiajia was very curious. However, since Lin Yifan did not wish to reveal it, she didn't ask further and started to call Su Qingqing.

"Dudu!"

The phone rang several times before someone answered.

"Hello! Big sister, what do you need? And, have you seen Mr. Lin? Is he with you?" Su Qingqing's gentle and caring voice came through the phone, seemingly very concerned about Lin Yifan.

She hadn't seen Lin Yifan for several days, and her calls and messages were not getting through; she, along with Xiao Lian and Yi Chen, were extremely worried, fearing that something had happened to him.

"We just got back from an overseas trip," Zhou Jiajia inquired. "Do you need him for something?"

Su Qingqing's care for Lin Yifan relieved Zhou Jiajia; this at least showed that Lin Yifan held a place in Su Qingqing's heart.

"Nothing! I just wanted to ask if he was free, that's all. No worries now," Su Qingqing didn't dare say too much, afraid of revealing her identity.

Zhou Jiajia didn't want to expose her and Lin Yifan's own secrets either, so she said, "He asked me to call you. He wants you to help him with a task."

"What task?" Su Qingqing asked curiously.

"He mentioned going to an underground chamber to retrieve a box and then handing it over to Zhong Hongyan, the person in charge of the Night Guiyuan Auction House, to auction off the contents of the box," Zhou Jiajia answered.

"Okay, I know what to do," Su Qingqing responded.

Lin Yifan had told her about alchemy, so she knew some things. However, why would Yifan tell Zhou Jiajia about it? Wasn't he afraid that Jiajia would discover their relationship? She couldn't figure it out; then, shaking her head, she did as Yifan had instructed.

At noon, she drove alone to the Night Guiyang Auction; then she showed her VIP card and met with Zhong Hongyan.

Seeing Zhong Hongyan grace the lobby in her red dress, Su Qingqing felt a surge of jealousy. Why did all the women Lin Yifan knew have such large breasts and perky butts, and such slim figures?

But, even if she fell short in figure, she didn't lose in looks and temperament, in fact, she was even more superior than Zhong Hongyan.

As Lin Yifan's woman, she certainly couldn't lose to this sensual and seductive woman; thus, she held her head high and chest out, standing there with dignity and elegance, quietly waiting for Zhong Hongyan to arrive.

"Sorry, I was held up by a meeting and got here a bit late," Zhong Hongyan apologized.

"It's okay," Su Qingqing said, "Miss Zhong, I am here on behalf of Mr. Lin. He has been busy these days and couldn't make it here; this is what he asked me to entrust to you. Please take a look and see if it's correct."

After speaking, she handed over the box to Zhong Hongyan.

Zhong Hongyan received the box, opened it to look, and soon saw the three Hundred Steps Heart-Piercing Poison Antidotes, feeling immensely relieved, "Oh! I've finally waited for you guys, these past few days have nearly driven me mad with worry."

These few days, Tian Ji, Luqiu Shaoge, and the icy young girl had all called to inquire about the Hundred Steps Heart-Piercing Poison Antidote. She had been fobbing them off, nearly dying of anxiety; because this was big business! If she lost it, it would mean a huge loss.

She had called Lin Yifan several times, but no one answered the phone; she even sent someone to Antian Group and Fight Heaven TV to look for him, without finding a trace; as if Lin Yifan had completely vanished into thin air from Guiyuan City, which was extremely strange.

"Come back tonight, and I will auction these three elixir pills for you," Zhong Hongyan said before she saw Su Qingqing off.

Before leaving, she made a point to say, "Tell Mr. Lin to hurry up with the pill refinement, and not just to enjoy himself everywhere."

"I will convey the message to Mr. Lin, please do not worry," Su Qingqing replied, then turned and left.

Watching this woman, whose temperament and looks were not inferior to her own, Zhong Hongyan cracked a small smile, "She really does have some skills."

In the hospital, Zhou Jiajia wanted to arrange a meeting between Li Xiangmei and Lin Yifan, but she found out Li Xiangmei had already resigned and left, leaving her no choice but to pass the news on to Lin Yifan.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yifan let out a deep sigh, "It seems I have hurt her too deeply!"

Li Xiangmei's resignation was because she didn't want to run into him every day at the hospital, to avoid awkwardness. Moreover, she wanted to move to a new place, to forget about the sadness and start a new life.

In the evening, Su Qingqing drove alone to the Night Guiyang Auction once again. Tonight was the elixir auction day; she had to witness it and take the money earned.

In the VIP room, she saw many precious items being auctioned; however, these were not the focus. What astonished her was that an ordinary-looking stone was even more valuable than those antiques, which really baffled her.

But what surprised her even more was that the elixir she had handed to Zhong Hongyan at noon was being auctioned as the finale item, which made her feel extraordinarily flattered and at the same time, utterly unbelievable.

Because generally, only the most valuable items would be put up for auction at the finale, this meant her three elixir pills were indeed priceless.

The final auction began, and as the bidding price soared, her shock was beyond measure.
