Su Kuan continued, "I came in a rush after hearing about the Siren's Melody Poached Egg. Now that I've had a taste, I must be on my way. We're busy men, after all."
'Liar. I didn't get to have a taste.' Su Bei inwardly snorted.
Cai Jinbao returned the bow, "Of course, we have many responsibilities on our shoulders. I had to postpone several matters just to attend this auction."
Because of their status, they had subordinates throughout the city. So even though they were not present to order the Siren's Melody Poached Egg, they easily got their hands on a plate.
It was something Lucian could not prevent, so he turned a blind eye to it. Fortunately, the System did not make a fuss.
After that, Cai Jinbao turned to Su Bei, "It's rare to see Young Miss Su looking so displeased. Do you want to stay? If you want, I can assign a few City Guards to protect you. Once the auction ends, they'll ensure your safe return to the Dragon's Feast Restaurant."
