Chapter 493 I'd Like You to Dedicate Yourself to Me (1)

Gavin stopped there with one hand on his forehead, looking at the blue sky, while casually placing the other hand on Wendy's shoulder. He sighed and said, "It's a long story. You are too young to figure it out."

Being close to him, Wendy could feel Gavin's strong heartbeats. At the same time, she found that her heart was beating even faster than his.

In other people's eyes, she and Gavin just looked like friends, close but far from intimate.

Nevertheless, she couldn't help feeling pleased that the words "close friends" could be used to describe Gavin and her, which was enough to make her heart race.

However, his words did arouse her anger!

She recalled her job. Her patients had always shouted at her, "You're just a new hand. You are too young to know a damn thing, aren't you? "I want your superior physician here! "I'm here to see a doctor, not to be treated like a lab rat by an intern!" Those acid remarks made by her patients had shown disrespect for both her person and her specialized knowledge.

Wendy had heard enough of the words "you are too young" at the hospital, and she hated them the most. She had never expected that Gavin would say those words to her. Anger burned inside her as a result.

Wendy elbowed Gavin in the ribs and roared, "I'm just a few years younger than you!"

"Uh-huh." Gavin looked at Wendy up and down, saying with interest, "That's just enough for you to be my girlfriend."

Wendy was shocked by his words. She was first stunned and then confused; before she could make a quick-witted response, she blurted, "Go away! You can whistle for that!"

Gavin smiled in a casual manner as he usually did, while a disappointed look flashed across his face.

He had always been good at hiding his negative emotions. Within seconds, he managed to appear casual while holding Wendy closer to him. "Take it easy. You're not my cup of tea. I was just kidding."

"..."

Wendy felt as if a sense of loss had gone right into her heart. She thought to herself, "I should have guessed it. I'm not Gavin's type."

Wendy took a deep breath and forced a smile of relief. "Then I can set my mind at ease." "Answer me. Why didn't you see it through at the auction?"

"If I had bid 28 billion dollars, we would have won the auction."

Wendy said in bewilderment, "Yuna bid 27.9 billion. You bid 27 billion. Why didn't you bid a hundred million more if you could get the greenfield site at 28 billion?"

"Because... the site isn't worthy of such a high price." Gavin made a mysterious smile and said, "Let's wait and see. Lambert Group will get the site in the end."

Wendy shook her head. "I'll never understand you capitalists."

"Same as you. I'll never understand you doctors." Gavin opened the door and gestured for Wendy to get in the car. "So, let's go."

After Wendy got in the car, Gavin locked the car and stood outside, leaning against it.

"Gavin!" Wendy slapped the window from inside the car and asked, "Why did you lock me here?"

Gavin glanced back and rolled down the window. "I have something to talk with Yuna. Just stay in the car. I'll be back soon."

Before Wendy could say anything, Gavin closed the window again. At that very moment, Gavin saw Yuna come out of the hotel, then he walked straight toward her.

Two of Rowdy's men escorted Yuna. Seeing Gavin approaching, the two reached into their pockets for weapons. "Miss Xu, he's Brian's assistant. He..."

Yuna lifted her hand, ordering them to stand down. "He won't do anything to me. Get back in the car now."

"No." The two men didn't do as Yuna said. "Brother Rowdy asked us to protect you. We have to keep close to you."

Yuna sneered and said, "But we don't need to be too close. Do you understand?"

With that, Yuna walked forward. The two men moved perfectly together to keep close to her, as if they had rehearsed for it.

That was beyond Yuna's patience. She turned around with a sour look on her beautiful face, then she whipped out an item from her handbag and pressed it against the belly of one of the guards. "Listen, you're just my subordinates. Stay where you are. It's your last warning. "Otherwise, you will end up in an ambulance!"

With that, Yuna placed the item into her handbag and walked straight toward Gavin.

In order to avoid suspicion, she didn't force Rowdy's men to turn around, so she and Gavin were still exposed to the two men's eyes.

Gavin looked Yuna up and down. "So it's you, the mysterious top female agent of Rowdy."

"Cut the crap." Yuna's voice sounded cold as if she didn't know Gavin at all. "What do you want?"

"I want to ask you..."

"Yes, I got close to Wesley, Joanne, and every one of you on purpose." Yuna interrupted Gavin with a cold face as if she was talking about other people's business. "I've always been acting in front of you. Because I wanted to win your trust so that I could fulfill the missions that Rowdy assigned me."

"..." Gavin stared at Yuna without speaking.

Yuna looked right into Gavin's eyes and asked indifferently, "Anything else?"

Her eyes looked cold and resolute. She was like a changed person, no longer the Yuna who had been witty and energetic.

If it weren't for knowing that she was good at deceiving others, Gavin would think that the one in front of him was just a cold-blooded killer who was wearing a mask made of Yuna's skin.

"Nothing." Gavin smiled and asked, "What about you? Do you have anything to say to anyone?"

"Ha..." Yuna suddenly burst into laughter, which was full of sarcasm.

With that, she looked at Gavin in disdain. "Do you think that I should apologize to Joanne or Brother Chris? "Oh, they're not so close to me as you may think. They were useful to me, but they can't affect my decisions. "By the way, for the sake of my grandma, I won't hurt them."

"All right." Gavin gave Yuna a calm look and said, "You'd better behave yourself."

Without even giving Gavin a disdainful look, Yuna pursed her lips and kept on walking, passing by him as she walked straight toward her car.

Gavin gazed at Yuna's back. He rubbed his chin, while an indescribable look flashed across his face. After a while, he returned to his car.

Wendy hurried to ask, "What did Yuna say to you?"

Gavin calmly retold what Yuna had said.

He had thought that Wendy would get angry to hear that. However, beyond his expectation, Wendy was quite calm.

Gavin said with confusion, "Yuna took advantage of Joanne and your cousin. Don't you feel bitter about it? "You know, they have always cared about Yuna."

"They care about her because Granny Wallace had looked after them. They have done what they're supposed to do. "As for Yuna..." Wendy sighed. "I can't believe that she's such a person. "But they won't regret taking care of her. What's the point of feeling bitter about it? "By the way, it's not up to me."

Gavin thought for a while and suddenly said, "Yeah. It has nothing to do with you."

"Hey, I didn't mean that it's none of my business..." Wendy hastened to explain, fearing that Gavin might think she was ruthless. Unexpectedly, Gavin laughed.

Gavin said with a soft smile, "It's a lot of trouble. Your cousin-in-law and I don't want anyone else to be involved in it. "So, you'd better not become a part of it."

In that way, Wendy would be safe, unlike Joanne or Yuna who were in danger at all times.

Wendy gazed at Gavin with confusion for a long time, finding it impossible to figure out his smile.

She wondered, "What does he mean? "He doesn't want me to get into trouble?"

"Hey, Gavin cares about me, doesn't he?"

Wendy was lost in her thoughts as Gavin drove back to Prime Villas.

Dolly was still there, talking with Joanne about child raising. Wendy walked over with curiosity and rested her chin on her hand to listening in silence. She wanted to know how she had been brought up,

While no one was noticing, Gavin motioned for Brian to go to the study upstairs.

As soon as he entered the study, Brian closed the door and asked, "Could you confirm Yuna's real identity?"

Gavin shook his head. "Frankly, I'm not sure. "Yuna said in the text message that Rowdy ordered her to bid regardless of limits since he was determined to get that greenfield site. "But she was hesitant when she was bidding today. It didn't seem that she was bidding without limits. "Strangely enough, her final bid was 27.9 billion, but her offers were mostly integers before that."

Brian frowned. "Do you mean that she knew how much we could offer?"

Gavin nodded. "Yes. It's likely that she knew we would bid at most 28 billion yuan. "She bid 27.9 billion just to wait for us to bid more, to finally let us win the auction at the highest price."

Brian began to ponder, while his eyes dimmed. "Maybe you're right. Yuna sent us the text message to mislead us, instead of reminding us."

Gavin shook his head. "If that's the case, she shouldn't have behaved like that today."

"Firstly, she hesitated when she was bidding; secondly, it seemed that she chose the 27.9 billion bid on purpose, because she wanted to remind me that I would fall into the trap if I bid 28 billion; thirdly, and it's the most critical point... I waited for her outside the hotel after the auction because I wanted to ask her about the text message. Guess what I found out?"
