The lights dimmed instantly, and the entire auction hall fell into silence, with only the spotlight on the stage shining brightly.

The host slowly walked onto the stage wearing a terrifying tiger head mask, the eyes on the mask flashing eerily under the lights.

"My goodness, he's so ugly!" Wenjing felt that the strawberries in her hand didn't taste good anymore, affecting her appetite.

"Welcome everyone to this special auction!" The host's deep voice resonated throughout the hall through the microphone, carrying a deliberately hushed air of mystery. "Now, I declare the auction officially open!"

A commotion immediately arose from the audience, with excited whispers rising and falling.

Qin Zhiluo leaned back on the soft sofa, her legs casually crossed, and her skirt slid down naturally with her movements, revealing her slender ankles.

Long Yanli pulled her skirt down to cover her slender ankles, then bent down and kissed the girl.

Qin Zhilu propped her cheek up with one hand and gently stroked Long Yanli's chin with the other, her eyes half-closed. "Brother, your beard has grown back again."

Long Yanli was so aroused by her teasing that he couldn't sit still. "Baby, sit up straight."

Qin Zhilu sat up straight, reached for the champagne on the table, took a slow sip, and then leisurely leaned back into Long Yanli's arms.

Five million!

"Five million five hundred thousand!"

"Seven million!" The voice was filled with barely suppressed urgency.

"Tsk, seven million for a bracelet, is she crazy?" Li Huangchen looked at the woman downstairs.

Wenjing narrowed her eyes. "Isn't this Wu Xuan's older sister?"

Fu Yiming glanced at him with a deep look in his eyes, then said, "Hmm."

"Didn't her family go bankrupt? How come she has so much money?" Wenjing picked up a glass of champagne and sipped it slowly.

Qin Zhilu glanced at her casually, "The person next to her is a well-known eligible bachelor in Weicheng."

"Tsk tsk tsk," Wenjing felt a little nauseous. This eligible bachelor was really ugly. Couldn't the world be a little kinder to my eyes?

The eligible bachelor had thinning hair on top, with a few greasy strands sticking to his scalp. His round belly looked big enough to fit an adult. He had single eyelids and wrinkles around his eyes.

"Darling, thank you!" Wu Jing endured the disgust and kissed the old and ugly man on the face.

The eligible bachelor Xiahou leered at her, his hands roaming over her legs. "Baby, buy whatever you like!"

Wu Jing forced a smile. "I heard that the famous Pink Star is in this competition?"

Xiahou revealed his teeth, stained yellow from smoking, with a trace of greasy saliva at the corner of his mouth. "Want some?"

Wu Jing closed her eyes, avoiding looking at his face, and leaned against him, saying, "I want to."

His eyes lit up instantly, and his thick hand gave the other person's slender waist a hard pinch. He laughed loudly, "Good, serve me well tonight!"

Wu Jing smiled obsequiously, "Of course!"

Wu Jing's hands trembled uncontrollably. "I must get the Pink Star. Ji Feng is searching for it everywhere. As long as I get it, I can go back to him!"

"It's an eyesore," Qin Ji thought, completely baffled. This girl was alright looking, so why would she be interested in something like this?

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item in this auction is absolutely the highlight of the day!" The host's voice was loud and enthusiastic as he exaggeratedly pointed to the specially made display case that was slowly pushed onto the stage. "It is the famous 'Pink Star,' the king of natural pink diamonds, a rare treasure in the world!"
