Dou Shiliu still didn't agree, and Jiang Yang hung up the phone helplessly, quite disappointed.
Dou Shiliu didn't ask Jiang Yang what kind of banquet it was until Shi Xuan came back and said he was going to a banquet. Dou Shiliu's eyelids twitched.
What kind of banquet?
"The auction will be held after the banquet."
After hearing what Shi Xuan said, Dou Shiliu remained silent, wondering if Jiang Yang was referring to this banquet.
She secretly sent a message, and it turned out that Jiang Yang was referring to this banquet.
Jiang Yang: "What? Boss, you want to go again? Come on, I've saved a seat for you."
Dou Shiliu: "No, my husband said he'll take me."
On the other hand, Jiang Yang, who was holding his phone with a look of joy in his eyes, suddenly froze, feeling empty inside.
Husband? When did that happen?
Or is it a term of endearment?
Jiang Yang: "Your boyfriend?"
Dou Shiliu: "No, my husband is someone I've married."
Jiang Yang gasped for breath, his vision went black, and he typed with difficulty: "Hahaha, boss, you're joking, right? It's only been a short time."
Dou Shiliu: "I'll bring him then, and you'll see how handsome he is."
Jiang Yang's eyes trembled slightly. It seemed to be true. She didn't need to say these things.
Jiang Yang: "Okay then."
Dialogue ends
Jiang Yang felt a little dizzy. How could the person he loved have gotten married in such a short time?
Jiang Yang's face was deathly pale, and he didn't even respond when his assistant came in and called him several times.
Dou Shiliu told Shi Xuan that he wanted to go with him to meet a friend, and Shi Xuan nodded.
When the banquet arrived, Shi Xuan's cold gaze fell upon Jiang Yang, and the aura around him seemed to drop several degrees.
He knew that Dou Shiliu and Jiang Yang had spent three years together, and naturally, they had developed feelings for each other, so he couldn't say anything.
Slightly annoyed, he took the woman's hand directly, a gesture that asserted his dominance.
When Jiang Yang saw the man next to Dou Shiliu, his heart ached terribly. He had been clinging to a sliver of hope, but now that this man was standing right in front of him, he felt a strong urge to run away.
"Jiang Yang, this is my husband, Shi Xuan."
Shi Xuan? Jiang Yang suddenly remembered his former boss in prison and looked up at him.
The man had a scar on his narrow eyes, but it didn't affect his appearance; instead, it added a touch of inexplicable ruthlessness to his features.
She glanced at him coldly, looking unusually unapproachable.
Jiang Yang managed to suppress his barely contained emotions and forced a smile that was more like a bitter laugh: "Boss, you play by yourself for a while, I'm going to find a female companion."
After saying that, he left quickly, his steps were unsteady, and his back looked extremely disheveled.
"Heh," Shi Xuan thought, watching his fleeing figure. "At least he ran fast."
Dou Shiliu felt a pang of helplessness upon hearing the man's laughter; Jiang Yang shouldn't have placed her heart on him.
She could only let Shi Xuan be childish for a while.
The auction venue was huge, filled with luxury sports cars, and familiar businessmen and celebrities.
There are an unusually large number of security personnel here, and some of them have brandished guns, indicating that they are taking security seriously.
After Dou Shiliu and Shi Xuan reached their designated seats, she whispered to the man, "Shi Xuan, what have you taken a liking to?"
She doesn't seem to have even looked at the list of items to be auctioned, so she doesn't know what's going to be auctioned yet.
Shi Xuan looked at the woman, ruffled her hair, and said calmly, "Buy whatever you like."
Dou Shiliu blinked. "Did you buy this specifically for me?"
Shi Xuan nodded. A famous international jeweler designed a unique ring, which is now being auctioned here.
So Shi Xuan's goal is this, but if Dou Shiliu takes a fancy to something else, he can buy it too.
Anyway, it's all for her, as long as she's happy.
The auction began amidst cheers from the crowd.
"Welcome everyone to this auction. Today, our Nash Auction House will donate two percent of the proceeds from the auction to an orphanage," the beautifully made-up host announced on stage. "The auction is now beginning!"
"The first item is an antique. Internationally renowned expert Feng Ming has identified it as a porcelain cup from an ancient temple,"
The small cups on the table, gleaming with gold, looked exceptionally precious, which aroused the affection of many antique collectors.
Ultimately, the porcelain cup was sold for 1 million.
Dou Shiliu thought to herself for a moment. She had a lot of these messy antiques in her space. If she took them all out, wouldn't she make a fortune?
The second item was also an antique, a painting by a famous person, which was auctioned off for 1.5 million.
The third item was a ring, but not the one from Shi Xuan. This ring was exquisitely crafted, but it wasn't made of diamonds, and it wasn't auctioned off to many people.
Dou Shiliu stared absently at the red ring on the stage, a sudden tightness in his heart.
"Shi Xuan, can we buy it?"
That was the exact same ring that Wu Wang had once given her.
Dou Shiliu felt a warmth in her heart. She hadn't expected it to reach here. The timing didn't match up, but it was indeed the one that had been sent to her by Wuwang.
Looking into the woman's slightly flickering eyes, Shi Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Do you like it?"
Dou Shiliu nodded emphatically: "Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Xuan agreed to the price.
I don't know if it's because it's so beautiful, but people keep bidding against it, and it seems like it's going to break 5 million.
The audience erupted in uproar. Who were these two suckers?
In the end, Shi Xuan bought the ring for 8 million.
Dou Shiliu breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the man who had been fighting with them, his eyes indifferent. Why would a man want this ring?
The auction continues
The fourth item... the fifth item...
When it came to the ninth item, Shi Xuan straightened up. The ring he wanted had arrived.
There are just as many people who are obsessed with this as he is.
"Now it's a unique heart-shaped ring, a masterpiece by a renowned master, representing love."
A discreet yet exceptionally small and delicate ring was brought out; it looked exceptionally beautiful on the soft cotton fabric, exuding an alluring charm.
Women were tempted, while men were disappointed by the price.
"Starting price: 1.6 million. Everyone, please place your bids."
As soon as the host finished speaking, people began to bid and auction off.
1.7 million
2 million
2.6 million
8 million
The entire room fell silent again. They turned to look at the man sitting in the VIP seat, who casually uttered 8 million.
"8 million once, 8 million twice, 8 million..."
"10 million," it was the same man who had just snatched the ring from them. Dou Shiliu turned to look at him and found that he didn't have any expression, but the woman next to him did look over.
"Ding, female lead Yu Keke"
Dou Shiliu's eyes flickered, while Shi Xuan beside him calmly said, "20 million."
Bai Tuan silently watched as the big shots competed for this broken rock.
