A few people in the room gasped slightly. 20 million for a diamond ring? Is he really that extravagant, or is he just trying to save face for his girlfriend?
40 million
A soft remark echoed throughout the room, startling Yu Keke, who was standing next to the man, as she felt the gazes from all around.
Yu Keke lowered her head secretly. She carefully tugged at the clothes of the man next to her, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her face showed difficulty.
"He Zicheng, calm down. I don't like this diamond ring as much as you think."
Yu Keke was slightly stunned. She had only praised the ring for being beautiful, but He Zicheng next to her was like a man possessed, bidding higher and higher, which almost scared her heart out.
He Zicheng glanced at her slightly without saying a word, but when Shi Xuan said 50 million, he calmly followed suit, even though his wrist was about to be pinched swollen by the woman next to him.
"He Zicheng, are you crazy? I don't need this money, okay? Please give me this little bit of money, okay?" Yu Keke was furious. This little bit of money could buy her so many dresses! What a spendthrift man, He Zicheng!
Ugh, my heart is bleeding!
Suddenly, her hand was grabbed by the man. He Zicheng looked at her calmly and said in a low voice, "I'll give you the card when we get back, don't make a fuss."
Yu Keke: "..."
She gritted her teeth. Did she want money? Didn't she understand what she meant? She just wanted him to keep the money for her to spend; who the hell wanted him to give her more!
Dou Shiliu abruptly stopped Shi Xuan from raising the price, "Honey, I don't like this ring. Can we have someone make one for me privately?"
Her eyes were smiling, and her voice carried a coquettish tone, making her delicate face even more beautiful.
When Shi Xuan heard that she didn't like it, he didn't raise the price.
Meanwhile, Yu Keke was waiting for them to raise the price so she could bravely stop He Zicheng, this willful man, but then the host perfectly struck the gavel.
"60 million, once; 60 million, twice; 60 million, three times!" The golden gavel struck, and the host smiled, "Congratulations to this gentleman on his successful auction!"
Yu Keke was so frustrated she felt like she was going to vomit blood. She knew He Zicheng was rich, but he didn't need to waste money like this!
Why didn't the other side raise the price further?
Yu Keke looked at He Zicheng with exasperation, trying to see right through him.
The man's nonchalant expression made Yu Keke want to strangle him. What a spendthrift!
When the last item was brought out, Shi Xuan didn't touch it. After all, he had come all this way for that ring, and although the little woman didn't like it, he still hadn't managed to buy it.
"Then I'll just order one for her on my own," Shi Xuan thought, sending a message to Secretary Jin before continuing to watch the auction.
She was a rare mermaid, and Dou Shiliu could hear everyone gasping.
"What's this?"
"The Little Mermaid"
Dou Shiliu: "Why is this thing here?"
White Ball: "If the host had arrived any earlier, the fairies wouldn't have all left."
Dou Shiliu nodded. A mermaid lost in the human world, but not particularly pitiful...
Shi Xuan glanced at the expression on the woman's face beside him. She wasn't particularly surprised or pleased. He unconsciously tapped the wooden handle on the seat.
Do you like it?
Dou Shiliu shook his head, "I don't like it."
Mermaids eat people!
The fairy tale romanticized her; although she was indeed exceptionally beautiful and charming under the lights, with a colorful and vibrant blue fishtail, her eyes looked at humans with a hungry gaze.
"We found this mermaid in an extremely cold place. She is incredibly beautiful, but like a crocodile, she needs to eat meat and will bite. Please be careful when taking pictures."
The host then played a video showing an animal being thrown into the water, where a beautiful mermaid ripped the animal to pieces, turning the clear water red.
This immediately deterred many people from making any bids.
What's the point of buying a crocodile? You can't even touch it, what if it gets bitten to death?
The host wasn't in a hurry when he saw that none of them were bidding. As long as the mermaid wasn't sold, the auction house would sell it to the laboratory.
Starting price: 80 million
The crowd below buzzed with discussion, and someone shouted, "82 million!"
"82 million once, 82 million twice..."
83 million
The host laughed and asked, "Are there any higher price ranges?"
90 million
The host laughed even harder, “90 million, once; 90 million, twice; 90 million, three times.”
"Okay, congratulations to this gentleman on his successful bid."
With a single tap of the small golden hammer, 90 million vanished.
After the auction, Shi Xuan and Dou Shiliu were led to collect the auctioned items, including the ring of disrespect.
A familiar yet strange feeling returned to his hands. Dou Shiliu lowered his eyes, feeling a slight warmth in his heart, and looked up at Shi Xuan beside him.
"Thank you, I really like this."
Shi Xuan found the ring somewhat familiar, but he was certain he had never seen it before. Seeing the little woman so happy, he couldn't help but smile.
"Wife, you're welcome."
Dou Shiliu tiptoed and kissed the man's cheek, then took his arm and they went out together.
"Oh right, I forgot to say hello to Jiang Yang."
Shi Xuan frowned slightly, but his voice remained unusually calm: "It's alright, no need to look for him. You can send him a message saying we've already left."
Dou Shiliu thought for a moment, then took out her phone from her bag, sent a short message, and looked up, "Okay, let's go."
Shi Xuan and Dou Shiliu went out together and unexpectedly ran into Yu Keke and the others.
"So beautiful," was the first thing Yu Ke said to Dou Shiliu.
"Really? Thank you, you're very pretty too," Dou Shiliu replied with a faint smile. The first words spoken by the female lead were so endearing.
He Zicheng's expression was indifferent, a stark contrast to Shi Xuan, who always appeared cold and aloof. He Zicheng, on the other hand, seemed calm and composed.
Shi Xuan and Dou Shiliu brushed past them. Yu Keke was still gazing into the distance when she bumped into He Zicheng's shoulder, causing the man to turn around and glance at her.
"Look, isn't that girl incredibly pretty?" Yu Ke watched them walk away, shaking her head and praising, "It's just that the man looks really fierce."
He Zicheng said calmly, "He's no ordinary man."
He Zicheng couldn't find a particularly good adjective to describe Yu Keke, a woman who only cares about appearance.
"I think everyone who came to the banquet today is no ordinary person," Yu Keke said irritably. "Let's not talk about them. Why did you buy such an expensive ring? I tried my best to stop you!"
The thought of that 60 million felt like her heart was bleeding!
