"It's just a charity gala, why ask so many questions?" Shen Sixian replied casually, his slender fingers swiping across the tablet screen as if he were busy.
"Young Master, would you please follow me to the room next door?" The staff member, with bowed head and respectful attitude, led Shen Shuangjian the changing room.
There were many expensive, well-tailored dresses in the room. Shen Shuangjian didn't need to change into them; just one glance was enough for the designer to tell her roughly how she would look in them.
In fact, some people really don't need clothes to enhance their appearance.
Because he was born precious, no matter how ordinary or how exquisite and gorgeous the clothes were, they would instantly lose their luster when they were on him.
The silver-white fitted suit is not a formal or serious style. The shoulders are adorned with densely packed, hand-set diamonds that sparkle even without the light.
But when Shen Shuangjian wore this outfit, it was as if all the suits and diamonds had vanished instantly.
The room was full of designers and staff, people who are usually the most sensitive to clothing, but at this moment they only noticed two things about Shen Shuangjian.
The first thing they noticed was his stunningly beautiful face, a beauty they had never seen before. When his eyes were lowered, they resembled frost flowers melting into branches, clear and translucent.
The second detail is Shen Shuangjian's long, unbound hair, which contrasts sharply with his fair complexion. His thick, black hair is both smooth and dense, with a silky sheen.
When Shen Shuangjian out, Shen Sixian was already getting dressed and preparing to leave.
Seeing him standing there, Shen Sixian straightened his cuffs and said softly, "Come here."
People who usually dress softly and conservatively suddenly look incredibly good when they dress up.
No wonder, Shen Shuangjian when he was outside, people always stared intently at him.
After a moment of silence, Shen Sixian suddenly turned his head. He reached out as if to brush a strand of hair from Shen Shuangjian's ear, but she gently dodged, and he missed.
But Shen Sixian didn't care. His fingers followed up again, only stopping when he gently pinched Shen Shuangjian's earlobe.
Even Shen Shuangjian herself hadn't noticed that he actually had pierced ears, and when he came out, Shen Sixian's earring was only half-worn.
The small ruby earring had a small hook at the end for securing it. Shen Sixian cupped Shen Shuangjian's face and put his other earring on Shen Shuangjian's left ear.
Let's go.
Shen Sixian relaxed his brows and eyes, and took the lead in walking towards the car that had been waiting outside the main building.
This charity gala was hosted by the Xie Family, and it turned into the largest auction in Capital, inviting major families and businesses in the Capital, as well as a lot of media.
When Shen Sixian's car stopped in front of the red carpet, several media outlets gathered at the entrance almost immediately shifted their attention away from the previous person.
The cars he frequently used and their license plates were not unfamiliar to the powerful and influential circles in Capital, so as soon as the driver stopped the car, several people who were about to go in also stopped in their tracks.
After all, in occasions like this, the talk of charity is just a pretense, but the real purpose is to chat and exchange ideas. Spending a little money can earn you both fame and a reputation, and also serve as a second business opportunity—why not?
Unfortunately, like Shen Sixian Xie Jinghui, Shen Sixian rarely appears in crowded places, and even when he does, he simply strides forward without looking to the side.
His expensive leather shoes clicked on the clean red carpet as Shen Sixian casually straightened his suit. He got out of the car but didn't rush inside. Instead, he turned slightly to look inside.
Puzzled, everyone craned their necks to look into the car. Before long, a slender figure stood beside Shen Sixian as he waited.
He was wearing a suit very similar in style to Shen Sixian's, his long hair was tied up and fell down his back, and he wore deep red ruby earrings, exactly the same as the ones Shen Sixian wore.
He had a stunningly beautiful face, and given the status of those present, they could only say things like, "He is more beautiful than any of the worldly beauties and glitz in the world of fame and fortune."
No one could scrutinize his identity closely. He didn't even care about Shen Sixian's status or position outside, never giving him a slight distance, and simply walked alongside him openly.
"Mr. Shen, it's been a long time. And this is...?" Someone stepped forward to greet him, hoping that Shen Sixian would ignore him. He was even prepared for Shen Sixian not to even bother to lift his eyelids and just brush past him.
Unexpectedly, Shen Sixian stopped in his tracks, turned slightly to the side and lowered his eyes, as a gesture of introduction.
"My younger brother, Shuangjian."
Shen Sixian, the only son of the Shen Family, has a younger brother who is an illegitimate child whom he has never publicly acknowledged. This is not some unknown secret of the wealthy family.
On the contrary, some people of certain status knew about this matter, but they never mentioned it to Shen Sixian, for fear of breaking a taboo.
But today, seeing Shen Sixian's attitude without the slightest hint of contempt, and the fact that he personally led the person out, how could they not understand?
"No wonder, if you look closely at those eyebrows and eyes, they do indeed bear a resemblance to Mr. Shen."
"Look at that demeanor; only a child raised in a noble family could be so precious."
After a few pleasantries, Shen Sixian relaxed, and he looked much more at ease. He nodded slightly and led Shen Shuangjian inside.
Excuse me.
The auction hadn't started yet, and although there were quite a few people in the banquet hall, most of them were people of similar social class, drinking and chatting.
Shen Sixian did not bring Shen Shuangjian inside, but instead followed the receptionist to the front row.
As soon as the two sat down, the staff immediately brought over two copies each of the tablet, auction catalog, and auction paddle.
Considering that Shen Shuangjian had never been to such an occasion before, and fearing that he might be too reserved.
So Shen Sixian lowered his eyes and took the initiative to remind him, "Just tell me what you like later."
Shen Shuangjian she had never been to such an occasion before and didn't know why Shen Sixian had brought her along.
He slowly raised his eyes and looked at the dark red earring on Shen Sixian's ear. After a moment, Shen Shuangjian her eyelashes tremble slightly and looked away, responding softly.
"Um."
Inside the banquet hall.
As the host of this auction, Xie Jinghui inevitably had to make an appearance and chat with those who had relatively close cooperation with the Xie Family.
Mr. Xie.
When the assistant leaned close to Xie Jinghui's ear, Xie was clinking glasses with someone. The assistant leaned in and whispered something in Xie Jinghui's ear.
A few seconds later, under the gaze of the people in front of him, Xie Jinghui suddenly and abruptly chuckled.
The group looked puzzled for a moment, but Xie Jinghui had already put down his wine glass and said, "Everyone, the auction is about to begin. Please enter."
After saying that, he turned and left without hesitation.
