"I took a few and let Li Shu take the rest away."
Since Opp couldn't work, his family had to take over, but Lu Yuqing originally planned to ask someone else to take charge.
As a result, she met Bai Lishu on the road. She was free anyway.
The lights in the venue suddenly dimmed, and all eyes were focused on the central stage. The auction was about to begin.
Bai Yan gently took Cheng Yu's hand and led him to the VIP box.
The interior of the box is luxuriously decorated, with some exquisite art paintings hanging on the golden walls, and the city night view outside the window looks dazzling against the glass.
He signaled the waiter to bring two drinks, "a cup of hot cocoa."
Cheng Yu lowered his head and sipped his hot cocoa. The flowing lights outside did not attract his attention at all.
He pursed his lips gently, a faint smile on his face, but it was a little indifferent, as if this event had nothing to do with him.
His slightly dazed eyes sometimes wandered between the night view and the hot cocoa, as if everything at this moment was just a dream.
"Baby, what do you like?"
Bai Yan's voice was low and gentle, his eyes wandering over Cheng Yu's face, trying to capture the emotional changes at that moment.
The introduction on the auction stage will be projected in the box through a holographic screen, so even though the buyers stay in the box, they still feel as if they are there.
Cheng Yu raised his head, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "What do you like?"
His voice was soft, like a gentle breeze, with a hint of curiosity.
The aroma of hot cocoa filled the air, blending with the luxurious atmosphere all around.
Little Orange smiled at him, revealing two small dimples, "I like you."
Bai Yan was slightly stunned, then he smiled gently, as if the sun was shining through the clouds, casting a warm light.
"Like me? Then I will behave well and make you like me more."
Bai Yan lowered his head and touched the tip of his nose, the smile on his lips becoming more gentle.
"Welcome all distinguished guests to this auction. We have prepared a rich selection of items for you tonight, including many rare works of art and precious collectibles."
The tone is high-pitched and excited, giving people a feeling of passion.
The auctioneer explains the auction rules and bidding procedures, including the opening price, minimum bid increments, and trigger prices.
"Does it look familiar?" The auction item catalog was displayed.
Bai Yan pointed at the ruby and asked Cheng Yu tentatively.
Cheng Yu released the straw and nodded.
want to!
Little Orange thought, this is the third one, so there is no need to cry.
Cheng Yu opened her kitten bag and took out the star card to give to Bai Yan. The gold bracelet on her hand jingled with her movements.
His meaning is clear.
purchase!
"Ancient Chinese mythology records that when the world betrays its trust, the wind will be filled with pity, and the phoenix will weep blood, which will turn into stone. This is the fifth lot on auction tonight—Phoenix Tears."
Bai Yan signaled Lu Yuqing to bid.
This myth is quite interesting and it also gives him a direction.
"Box 9 is 80. Is there a higher price?"
Bai Yan directly raised the price several times, which made many people give up.
"10 billion!"
Everyone was in an uproar, even though the people participating in this auction were all well-off.
But if they were asked to spend so much money to buy a gem, it would seem a bit not worth it.
"Box No. 0 bid is 10 billion."
Box 0?
When Lu Yuqing saw someone arguing with him, he suddenly became excited. After all, it was not his own money that was being spent, so he raised his hand vigorously.
It was finally sold for 15 billion.
This price finally made Lu Yuqing feel a little painful. After calculating with his fingers, he realized that this was his salary for a hundred years.
Enough to buy twenty of the latest model luxury spaceships.
Lu Yuqing secretly glanced at Bai Yan who was still coaxing Cheng Yu to eat another bite of fish.
Sure enough, the world of rich people is different.
He doesn't deserve to understand, QAQ...
Bai Yan didn't even raise his head, "Go check who it is."
This box number 0 is very suspicious. This auction house has a history of a hundred years, and this is the first time he heard that there is a box number 0 here.
There are ten boxes in total, which are specially provided for top wealthy people. Even if they hold high positions but their net worth does not meet the requirements, they can only sit down below.
Here, only money matters.
"Yanyan... shrimp..." Cheng Yu stuck out his tongue and inhaled, "Bite your tongue..."
When Bai Yan turned around, Cheng Yu had already picked up his red wine and drank it to relieve the spiciness.
"Is it delicious?"
Smash the little orange and savor it.
The aroma of fruit and oak bursts on the tip of the tongue, and a hint of astringency lingers at the root of the tongue.
It's like a fresh tune, lingering in the mouth for a long time.
"Hmm." I like the taste at the back.
He seemed to particularly like the subtle sweet aftertaste of the wine, and couldn't help licking the corner of his lips again, with a sparkling light in his eyes.
When Bai Yan saw Cheng Yu's expression, the corners of his mouth curled up.
He picked up the red wine bottle on the table and carefully poured just a mouthful of it into the glass. The wine swayed slightly, reflecting a deep red luster.
"Try it again?"
Cheng Yu looked at the delicate red liquid and nodded excitedly.
Two sips weren't enough to make him drunk, but they clearly stimulated his nerves and amplified his senses.
It's like throwing a stone into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Cheng Yu held up the empty wine glass and said, "I want more."
Her voice was as soft as a kitten's, with a slightly rising ending and a hint of coquettishness.
"No, you can't drink too much." Bai Yan took his wine glass and signaled the bodyguard to take it away.
I changed his drink to a glass of orange passion fruit sparkling water.
Although he was drunk on the red wine, Cheng Yu could never refuse Cheng Zi.
Bai Yan gently rubbed his hair, with a doting look in his eyes: "Drink."
Cheng Yu picked up the cup and drank it obediently. The fruity and sweet sparkling water slid across his tongue, making him hum with satisfaction.
Everything in the box seemed to be in stark contrast to the auction house outside.
The atmosphere in the auction hall became increasingly heated, with bidding sounds coming one after another. The transaction price of each item rose like a flame, igniting people's desire and greed.
Introductions to the auction items appeared continuously on the big screen, and holographic projections displayed details of rare treasures such as jewelry, antiques, and famous paintings, which were reflected in the eyes of the audience and made them unable to take their eyes off.
Lu Yuqing walked back quietly and whispered a report in Bai Yan's ear.
"We've checked. The identity of the guest in Box 0 is confidential, but we've uncovered some clues. It's very likely a noble from outer space. Their specific identity is still being verified."
Bai Yan frowned slightly, pondering the credibility of the information. The existence of Box 0 broke the auction house's conventions, and such a secretive arrangement made people wary.
"Keep watching. If there's any movement, tell me immediately," Bai Yan said softly. Lu Yuqing nodded and turned to leave.
