As night fell, Ye Tianfan followed Qin Ruomeng to the villa where she lived.

It was large and luxurious.

European style, resplendent and magnificent.

The decor perfectly matched the Qin Family's temperament.

However, compared to this style of decoration, Ye Tianfan preferred the Peony Street No. 16 villa that Long Yuqing had given him, where the stench of money wasn't so strong.

The sound of rushing water came from the bathroom. Qin Ruomeng, having just finished her bath, was wearing a blue robe loosely draped over her shoulders. Her face had a charming smile, and her eyes exuded a seductive light. A glimpse of her smooth neck peeked beneath the robe, revealing soft shoulder lines and an alluring collarbone.

Ye Tianfan watched her with an appreciative gaze.

Qin Ruomeng's natural charm was even more enticing when partially hidden beneath the blue silk robe.

Ye Tianfan had initially planned to ask her how they would attend Huang Shengtian's ten-year celebration event tomorrow, but the words stuck in his throat.

Given the occasion and the situation, it was clearly not the right time to discuss such topics.

After all, today was their first day of marriage,

A night together is worth a thousand gold pieces.

Ye Tianfan didn't want to ruin the atmosphere either.

"Aren't you going to the bedroom?" Qin Ruomeng's cheeks were blushing, her shy demeanor was endearing.

Ye Tianfan looked Qin Ruomeng up and down; after all, Qin Ruomeng was now his wife, so why be courteous?

Let's go!

Ye Tianfan scooped Qin Ruomeng into his arms and walked towards the bedroom.

"Bang..."

The bedroom door closed, it was their bridal night, sweat poured as red plum blossoms fell, and the blushing bride was shy.

The next day, Qin Ruomeng got up early. The flush on her cheeks had faded. Last night's excitement left her a bit worn out. She felt Ye Tianfan's stamina was incredible, almost insatiable, leaving Qin Ruomeng feeling as if she soared with joy, yet exhausted.

Even as she started eating breakfast, Qin Ruomeng still felt her cheeks burning, unable to meet Ye Tianfan's gaze, recalling how she pleaded with him last night, utterly embarrassing.

"Are you planning to attend the event hosted by Huang Shengtian?" Ye Tianfan raised his hand to stuff a piece of bread with an egg into his mouth, as if replenishing his lost energy.

"Yes, I want to go take a look, at least to get a basic understanding of my competitors."

Qin Ruomeng kept her head down, eating, not looking at Ye Tianfan.

"What excuse are you preparing to use to get in?"

It was then that Qin Ruomeng looked up, giving Ye Tianfan a slight smile: "Delivery of invitation cards."

"Delivery of invitation cards?" Ye Tianfan raised an eyebrow, then said, "Wedding invitations?"

Qin Ruomeng nodded, not denying it. It was the best method she could think of. Personally delivering the invitation, no matter what, Huang Shengtian would have to accept it, right?

"You're overthinking it. He won't accept it." Ye Tianfan wiped his mouth, clearly finished with his meal.

"Since Huang Shengtian is cautious, he definitely won't accept your invitation at his antiques department's ten-year celebration."

Qin Ruomeng furrowed her brows, thinking carefully, unable to resist asking, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Since it's an anniversary celebration of the antique department, one thing is sure to be there."

Qin Ruomeng's eyes lit up, and she said, "Antiques!"

Ye Tianfan nodded, saying, "Yes, Huang Shengtian sent out seven invitations, all to giants in the antique world, top-notch appraisal experts. Think about what these people are most interested in?"

"Of course, it's antiques!" Qin Ruomeng replied without hesitation and then quickly asked, "Looks like you have a plan."

Ye Tianfan smiled. Of course, he had a plan. Since Huang Shengtian invited all giants of the antique world, and this was the antique department's ten-year celebration, it was naturally about comparing antiques.

Since Huang Shengtian isn't inviting business people, there's no need to wait for an invitation. Just bring something that will catch the eyes of those antique icons, and they will naturally send an invitation. These people have spent their lives with antiques, to put it bluntly, they're almost six feet under. Their thoughts are conservative, stubborn, but if they fancy a treasure, they'll come to see it no matter what, even if the sky falls, even if Huang Shengtian tries to stop them!

Unless he wants those antique icons to angrily leave, he'd have to let Ye Tianfan and Qin Ruomeng in!

But one thing was crucial: the item Ye Tianfan presented had to stir the antique icons' desire for appraisal. Ordinary things definitely wouldn't catch their interest.

Ye Tianfan stood up, saying, "Of course I have a way in. You go change, go to Huang Shengtian's site and wait for me. Remember to find a way to stop the antique icons before they enter! I need to meet them."

Qin Ruomeng wasn't sure what Ye Tianfan planned to do, but she instinctively nodded, saying, "With my status, I should be able to hold them off for a moment."

"Good!" Ye Tianfan stood up from the table, "Let's split up."

"Alright!"

By noon, outside the Huang Family Antique Department's building, although a ten-year celebration banner was hanging, not many people came to congratulate.

Qin Ruomeng stood outside the building, under the scorching sun, looking at the row of security guards outside the Huang Family Antique Department building, her face had an extremely unpleasant expression.

Things happened just as Ye Tianfan predicted. Qin Ruomeng first used the excuse of delivering an invitation to ask security to tell Huang Shengtian. The response she got was only three words, "Don't know her."

Huang Shengtian was playing dumb. In Jiangzhou City, anyone in the business world, even just a department manager, should have heard of Qin Ruomeng's name. Even if they hadn't met her, they'd at least know the name.

But Huang Shengtian directly retorted with the three-word rejection of "Don't know her."

This closed door treatment left Qin Ruomeng very unhappy.

"Isn't this Ruo Meng?"

At this moment, an elderly voice sounded, and a man who appeared to be in his seventies, leaning on a jade and jadeite cane, stepped out from a black Lincoln sedan.

"Grandpa Li." Qin Ruomeng quickly went up to him. This old man's surname was Li, he was the chairman of the Jiangzhou City Antique Appraisal Association, held in high esteem in the antique field. Elder Qin usually showed him respect.

"This is the Huang Family's Antique Department's ten-year celebration, right? I wanted to go in and take a look, but they won't let me. Grandpa Li, can you take me in?"

Qin Ruomeng sweetly clung to the old man's arm, her face full of a pleasing smile.

But Elder Li didn't seem to fall for Qin Ruomeng's charms. He just smiled, saying, "Ruo Meng, the Qin Family has rarely entered the antique business, so you don't understand the rules of this field. In other places, I might do you a favor and take you in, but this time, I'm afraid not."

Saying that, Elder Li trembled as he pulled out a card from his pocket and handed it to Qin Ruomeng, smiling, "The host of some treasures doesn't want outsiders to see them. It's clearly stated in the card, limited to one person only."

Qin Ruomeng opened the card. Indeed, the powerful calligraphy spelled it out clearly.

"Grandpa Li, please take me in, just this once, okay?"
