Ning Nanxue's gaze was fixed on the obsidian necklace on the auction table.
Under the light, the obsidian exudes a restrained luster.
The luster is not ostentatious, but carries a mysterious attraction, as if it contains deep emotions.
Ning Nanxue's fingertips gently touched her chest.
There was nothing there, but she seemed to feel the warmth of the necklace.
She seemed to be thinking about something, and her eyes became deep.
Jiang Tingchen stood beside Ning Nanxue and caught her gaze keenly.
He followed Ning Nanxue's gaze, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
He was looking forward to the next auction session and to seeing Ning Nanxue wearing the necklace.
Fu Chen also noticed Ning Nanxue's concentration on the necklace.
His gaze fell gloomily on Jiang Tingchen.
Seeing the tacit understanding between the two and the faint smile on Ning Nanxue's lips, jealousy gnawed at his heart like a poisonous snake.
He couldn't bear the fact that Ning Nanxue was living so well now.
Especially when with Jiang Tingchen.
Xu Zhiru also noticed Ning Nanxue's love.
She saw the light in Ning Nanxue's eyes, and also saw the gloomy look Fu Chen gave Ning Nanxue.
Jealousy grows wildly in my heart like weeds.
She pretended to be innocent and walked to Fu Chen, praising him in a sweet voice.
"Ah Chen, this necklace is so beautiful, look, isn't it very special?"
Xu Zhiru's voice is gentle and a little sweet.
Fu Chen's mind was completely focused on Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen.
He turned a deaf ear to Xu Zhiru's praise.
He just replied indifferently.
"Um."
Xu Zhiru's smile froze for a moment, and she felt even more annoyed.
Fu Chen was secretly thinking about how to ruin Ning Nanxue's good mood.
He must never let Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen be so proud.
The host cleared his throat and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, next is our highlight for tonight, this obsidian necklace, named 'Starry Night'."
"Designed by the renowned designer Mr. Y, it features a unique design concept and rare materials."
"Obsidian symbolizes mystery, restraint, and protection."
"More importantly, this necklace carries a special emotion."
The host's voice was full of magnetism and successfully aroused the interest of all the guests.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the obsidian necklace.
The atmosphere was pushed to a climax.
Ning Nanxue listened to the host's introduction and felt that the design style of the necklace was familiar.
Some vague images flashed through my mind.
Those images seem to be related to some forgotten memories.
But for a moment, she couldn't capture it clearly.
A hint of doubt arose in her heart.
Why does this necklace make her feel familiar?
Mr. Y's design style...
She tried hard to recall, but she could not grasp the key clues.
Xu Zhiru superficially agreed and praised the necklace.
"Yeah, it's really beautiful, and the design is so unique."
In her heart, she was mad with jealousy, she also wanted this necklace.
Obsidian, mysterious, reserved, protective...
These words seemed to imply some kind of precious emotion. She longed for this necklace and longed for that precious emotion.
However, due to her status and Fu Chen's attitude, she didn't dare to express it directly.
She could only grit her teeth and think about how to interfere.
She must not let Ning Nanxue get this necklace.
Ning Nanxue doesn't deserve such a wonderful thing.
"This 'Starry Night' necklace has a starting price of five hundred thousand."
The host's voice sounded again, and the auction officially began.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand."
A voice sounded immediately.
It was a man sitting in the front row.
"Six hundred thousand." Someone else raised the price, and the price rose rapidly. Ning Nanxue looked at the necklace on the table, and the familiar feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger.
She felt as if she had seen this necklace somewhere before.
Or, a similar design style.
She tried hard to recall, and some fragmented images flashed through her mind.
Those pictures are a little blurry and distant, but they carry a hint of warmth.
Jiang Tingchen noticed Ning Nanxue's strange behavior and asked softly.
"Xue'er, do you like this necklace?"
His voice was gentle, with a hint of tentativeness.
Ning Nanxue came back to her senses and nodded.
"Well, it feels... a little special."
She didn't express the familiar feeling, but just responded lightly.
"Seven hundred thousand." Fu Chen suddenly raised his sign, his voice cold and hard.
The whole audience fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at Fu Chen.
Fu Chen actually participated in the auction? Moreover, he raised the price by 100,000 right away.
Who is he competing with? Everyone's eyes moved back and forth between Fu Chen and Ning Nanxue. Could it be that Fu Chen was doing this for Ning Nanxue?
This speculation made the atmosphere tense. Xu Zhiru's expression instantly turned ugly.
She hadn't expected Fu Chen to actually bid for this necklace. Did he also think it was beautiful? Or was he bidding for Ning Nanxue?
This thought made her alarm bells ring.
She immediately took Fu Chen's arm and spoke in a soft voice.
"Ah Chen, do you want to take a picture of this necklace too? This necklace is really beautiful."
Her tone was tentative and coquettish.
She wanted to know what Fu Chen was doing.
Fu Chen didn't look at Xu Zhiru, his eyes still fell on Ning Nanxue. His voice was cold and distant: "I just think this necklace is not bad."
