Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zheng Zeyi only casually offered a bid price. Soon, another woman made an offer and raised it by a lot.

“2.8 million yuan!”

That woman who was wearing a grayish-red tight-fitting dress had a smile on her face. She suddenly stood up and looked toward Qiao Sisi’s room.

She said, “Guest from Room 1, I really like this bracelet. I wonder if you can part with it and let me have it.”

After she finished speaking, she winked at him.

The others watched this scene unfold with interest as they looked at Room 1 on the second floor.

Qiao Sisi blinked and smiled. “Zheng Zeyi, this lady is talking to you. She asked you to let her have it.”

After a while, there was no response.

The woman was clearly getting impatient. She asked again, “Esteemed guest from Room 1, can you bear to part with your lot?”

In the quiet environment, a magnetic man’s voice came from box 1, attracting everyone’s attention.

In the private room.

“I want it very much too.” Zheng Zeyi smiled lightly. His eyes were deep and serene. It was difficult to read his thoughts.

Qiao Sisi was a little surprised, but she had no intention of joining in. She sat quietly by the side.

......

Hearing this, the charming woman’s expression changed slightly, and her smile became a little embarrassed. “Then… Do you insist on competing with me?”

Her voice was gentle and seductive.

Seeing no response from Zheng Zeyi for a long time, the woman glared at Room 1 and made a bid. “2.5 million yuan!”

This price was not only higher than 2 million yuan, but it was also a mockery to Zheng Zeyi.

Was this woman seeking death…

Qiao Sisi was shocked. At the same time, she felt less pressure around her. Although Zheng Ze was still smiling beside her, his demeanor had changed and he was showing a bit of interest.

Just as Lianxin was about to hit the gavel, Zheng Zeyi said, “7 million yuan.”

His voice was very calm, but he had raised the bid by almost three times! It went from 2.5 million yuan to 7 million yuan.

“Well done.” Qiao Sisi praised his face-slapping behavior

The woman’s face had darkened. She was obviously furious.

“Since the honored guest in Room 1 wants it so badly, then I… will give it to him.” The corners of the woman’s mouth twitched with difficulty. She glared at Room 1 and sat back down, unwilling to accept defeat.

However, no matter how unwilling she was, the matter was settled.

Zheng Zeyi’s bid increased so much that no one else continued to bid.

Lianxin hit the gavel three times. “7 million yuan once! 7 million yuan twice, 7 million yuan thrice! Congratulations to the VIP in Room 1 for getting the bracelet, Light Smoke. The staff will send it over later.”

Without saying anything else, the next lot was served.

The succeeding lots were not simple items. As Qiao Sisi watched, she asked Zheng Zeyi curiously, “Zheng Zeyi—the bracelet that you bid at such a high price—who do you intend to give it to?”

“Do you want to know?”

Qiao Sisi pursed her lips and waved her hand nonchalantly. “It’s not that I have to know. I’m just curious.”

Well… she was telling the truth. She didn’t care at all.

Zheng Zeyi’s nonchalant gaze landed on Qiao Sisi. She was enjoying the snacks on the table. He could not help smiling.

“It’s for someone. You don’t have to know about it for the time being,” Zheng Zeyi said as he quickly snatched the piece of snack that Qiao Sisi was eyeing before she took it.

“Zhang Zeyi!”

Qiao Sisi watched the snack fly away right before her face and was a little angry. However, since Zheng Ze had already stuffed them into his mouth, there was nothing she could do.

“Yes, it’s delicious.” Zheng Zeyi nodded seriously and picked up the other snacks.

“Well, you… As long as it’s delicious,” Qiao Sisi said hypocritically.

Magnanimous, I have to be magnanimous, Qiao Sisi said to herself. For those snacks nearer to Zheng Zeyi, she would not take them. She would choose something further away.

As the two of them fought, the auction was almost coming to an end.

Lianxin signaled the staff to bring up the last lot. A black-gold box was placed on the auction stage.

As she opened the box, everyone saw the jewelry that was inside. It was a set of sapphire jewelry. Studded with fragmented pieces of diamonds, it was breathtakingly beautiful.

There were earrings, a necklace, and a ring in the middle.

As soon as the box was opened, Qiao Sisi set her eyes on the set of sapphire jewelry. Although she was not very knowledgeable, she could tell that this set of jewelry was definitely made by a master.

“This small jewelry auction is really full of surprises,” Qiao Sisi could not help but think.

On the stage, when Lianxin heard the exclamations, a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She raised the microphone in her hand and said with a smile, “The auction house has put in much effort to acquire this set of sapphire jewelry. It is the final item for this small-scale jewelry auction.”

“Anyone interested can bid. The starting bid for this set of jewelry is—2 million yuan!”

Hearing this price, the guests below did not find it strange. This was a set of coordinated jewelry, and it could be considered the best among the best.

It was just the starting price. After everyone raised the bid incrementally, it would definitely be more than this.

Qiao Sisi looked at the jewelry set in the box with tears in her eyes. At this moment, she felt deeply the sorrow of being poor.

“Sigh, I wonder if I’ll be lucky enough to be rich in this lifetime,” she mused. She was so immersed in her own thoughts that he did not realize that someone had already heard all of her mumbling.

When Zheng Zeyi heard that, he mocked rudely, “In your next life.”

Qiao Sisi paused and glared at Zheng Zeyi. “Zheng Zeyi, don’t always dampen my spirits.”

Zheng Zeyi smiled and looked at Qiao Sisi before looking away. His slender fingers held the porcelain cup as he took a sip of the rich tea.

Many of the guests in the auction house were interested in the sapphire set jewelry.

After Lianxin quoted the starting price, a steady stream of people raised their tokens to bid.

“3 million yuan!”

“3.8 million yuan!”

“I’ll pay 4.2 million yuan.”

“5 million yuan!”

…

The price quickly soared to more than 5 million yuan. If not for the fact that they were all high-class people who raised the bid by hundreds of thousands or millions at a time, people who did not know better might wonder what they were up to.

The higher the price, the better it was. Now there were fewer people bidding.

Even though there were many who liked the item, one still has to act within one’s capability. If one really could not afford it, one should not insist on bidding.

So far, only three people were still bidding for the sapphire jewelry set.

“Everyone, I really like this set of jewelry very much and want to buy it for someone. Please let me have it,” one of them said.
