Chapter 810: Untitled
There started to be more people and they were sitting in twos or threes.
An Xunuo saw other women dressing up in thick makeup and jewelry. But, she had long hair and did not wear any makeup and thus felt out of place. She softly murmured to Ye Ningyuan.
Ye Ningyuan smiled and said, “Our Xunuo is born a beauty, and your beauty surpasses everyone even without makeup.”
“What does that mean?”
“It means you’re the prettiest among all the ladies.” Ye Ningyuan explained simply and An Xunuo’s eyes lit up. No matter young girls or women, they would be happy when complimented.
She could not hide her happiness and her cheeks became red due to her joy. She looked very pretty. Ye Ningyuan’s words made her very happy. He realized that Xunuo was easily satisfied. A simple sentence would make her happy for quite long.
A woman that was easily satisfied would definitely be happy.
“Oh, Daddy, that woman’s waist is as big as a water bucket, yet she is wearing such revealing clothes that show her fats.” An Xunuo exclaimed as she hid her head behind Ye Ningyuan’s shoulders and widened her eyes in a cute manner. She even acted out the shape and size of a water bucket, making Ye Ningyuan laugh. An Xunuo looked at the lady’s arms and lifted her own dress to show her thighs. Ye Ningyuan coughed and covered up her thighs with her dress and said, “Little Xunuo, this action is inappropriate in the public.”
“Daddy, her arms are thicker than my thighs.” An Xunuo blinked her eyes in a puzzled manner and pouted her lips. She only wanted to compare the size.
Ye Ningyuan was at a loss.
He remembered that Ye Hailan said the same thing during the last auction in City A. She even laughed out loud. Compared to her, Xunuo was much more reserved. She hid behind him and secretly said it without making fun of others.
It could be seen that she was not as evil as Hailan when she was young.
“Daddy, if I grow so big, will you be able to carry me?” An Xunuo asked softly.
“No!” Ye Ningyuan said decisively.
“Then, I’ll definitely not eat until like this. It’s too scary. Daddy, you have to keep me in check.”
Ye Ningyuan could not help but smile. “Don’t worry. You won’t become like that no matter how much you eat.”
The auction started.
Ye Ningyuan would ask her if she liked the items for the first few auctioned items, but An Xunuo shook her head. The first few items were some calligraphy and antiques from England, but she did not like them.
“What does Daddy’s mom like?”
“Brooch. A blue gem brooch owned by an Egypt princess,” Ye Ningyuan said and pointed at a picture. Xunuo exclaimed that it was pretty. The brooch was in the shape of a lily. The petals were made with transparent gems, and there’s a blue gem in the middle. There were some small white gems decorating it, and it looked extremely beautiful.
Cheng Anya did not really like jewelry and didn’t usually wear it. But, she liked to collect it.
She had been eyeing that brooch for quite long and waited until the collector decided to auction it. Ye Ningyuan would not miss it.
This brooch caused quite a stir and many people were competing for it. The starting price was five million pounds and it became thirty million after a round of auction. Nobody dared to compete with Ye Ningyuan after he offered fifty million pounds. It was obvious that he was proving his determination to get it by raising the price from thirty to fifty million. Moreover, he was rich. No matter how people competed with him, they would lose. Therefore, they decided not to.
He got the brooch with fifty million, and his Asian face caught a lot of attention. Some of them recognized his face that looked similar to Third Young Master Ye and understood.
Xunuo was extremely happy that Ye Ningyuan got the brooch. He then looked through all the auctioned items and asked Xunuo if she liked any of them. Xunuo suddenly pointed at a necklace with a black gem and said, “Daddy, I like this.”
Romantic heart.
Ye Ningyuan had heard of it before as it got famous at the same time as An Ning International’s Rose Tear. It was bought by an Iberian wealthy businessman and was kept for twenty-one years. He only sold this necklace after his wife passed away.
The gem was heart-shaped. It had a simple design but was elegant. The cutting of the designer was perfect. It was such a simple design but it looked graceful and elegant. A famous designer had exceptional skills. No wonder such a simple design had the charm to cause an uproar.
The most iconic thing about this necklace was that the length could be adjusted to become a bracelet or anklet. Moreover, the style looked different when worn in different ways.
It was extremely charismatic.
Xunuo did not know the price of it and was shocked when the Romantic Heart was auctioned. It actually cost fifteen million. Romantic Heart was a good choice whether as a collection or to be put on.
“Daddy, I don’t want it anymore. It’s too expensive.” An Xunuo shook her head. This necklace was too expensive. She felt that her daddy did not have so much money to spend on her.
“Do you really like this necklace?”
An Xunuo hesitated for a while and honestly nodded. He smiled. “All that matters is that you like it.”
“Twenty million!”
“Twenty-five million!”
“Forty million!”
“Forty-five million!”
“Fifty million!”
…
The auction price kept soaring, and it reached one hundred and fifty million quickly. Everyone was shocked. Many of them were determined to get the necklace regardless of how expensive it was, and more than half the people participated in the auction. A lot of them had stopped when the price reached one hundred and fifty million. There were only three or four people competing. When the price reached two hundred million, it was more or less settled.
An Xunuo stuck out her tongue. The price was too high and she was about to say that she did not want it anymore when Ye Ningyuan raised his sign and said, “Three hundred million.”
Everyone was shocked. Those in front turned to look at him. Their table instantly became the center of attention, but Ye Ningyuan was calm. An Xunuo did not like that so many people were looking at her, and she looked cold. The whole auction house seemed to be snowing.
“Which family is this young master from?”
“Who is this…”
“This is the young master of An Ning International.”
“Oh, no wonder…”
…
“Three hundred and ten million,” a young man raised his sign and said. It’s as if he wanted to compete with Ye Ningyuan for the Romantic Heart.
“Four hundred million,” Ye Ningyuan said calmly.
