Suddenly, her lips curled up into a thin smile, an unmistakable arrogance and unruliness spread across her delicate features.
Every frown and smile seemed to deliberately provoke Xu Yisen.
Xu Yisen withdrew his gaze and slowly raised his paddle, "Five million five hundred thousand."
As soon as he spoke, a soft and gentle laugh echoed in everyone's ears, "Since Yisen is so fond of this diamond ring, then I won't snatch it away."
On stage, Liang Ziyuan picked up the gavel and gave it a light tap, "Five million five hundred thousand, once."
"Five million five hundred thousand, twice."
"Five million five hundred thousand, thrice."
"Congratulations to Mr. Xu Yisen, Chairman of Fanshu Group, for winning the 'Love' diamond ring at the price of five million five hundred thousand."
The moment the words fell, the guests quietly breathed a sigh of relief and cooperatively applauded to congratulate Xu Yisen.
"The final auction item of the event is also donated by Miss Qin Muni."
As Liang Ziyuan's voice faded, another staff member carried a tray up to the stage, just like before, a red cloth covering the tray.
At this sight, the guests began to harbor certain suspicions...
"This gemstone ring named 'Long Love' was also personally designed by the renowned French jewelry designer, Adolph Dean Norman..."
Liang Ziyuan's words undoubtedly confirmed the guests' speculations.
Back then, on the second wedding anniversary of Xu Yisen and Qin Muni, Xu Yisen once again paid a high price to commission Adolph to design a gemstone ring as an anniversary gift for Qin Muni.
The media also introduced this gemstone ring named 'Long Love' and did not hesitate to praise Xu Yisen for his thoughtfulness and affection towards his beloved wife.
"The market value of the 'Long Love' gemstone ring is twenty-seven million RMB, with a starting bid of six million."
This time, without waiting for Qin Muni to provoke, Xu Yisen raised his paddle to increase the bid, "Six million one hundred thousand."
Liang Ziyuan, who was hosting on stage, turned his gaze towards Qin Muni, arching an eyebrow slightly, seemingly asking if Qin Muni wanted to raise the bid further.
Qin Muni avoided his gaze, pretending to be unaware as she stared at the paddle she was playing with in her hand.
Liang Ziyuan understood her intention, picked up the gavel, "Six million one hundred thousand, once."
"Six million one hundred thousand, twice."
"Six million one hundred thousand, thrice."
"Congratulations to Mr. Xu Yisen, Chairman of Fanshu Group, for winning the 'Long Love' diamond ring at the price of six million one hundred thousand."
"Thank you to all the guests for their generous sponsorship, and especially to the biggest buyer of this charity event, Mr. Xu Yisen, for his generous bids."
Once again, Liang Ziyuan thanked the invited guests and then walked off the stage, ending the event.
The guests originally wanted to approach Xu Yisen to congratulate him on acquiring his desired item; however, when they caught a glimpse of the coldness lingering in his eyes, they promptly stopped, not wanting to unintentionally trigger his ire with a wrong word.
Instead, it was Qin Muni who seemed completely oblivious to the coolness in Xu Yisen's eyes, gracefully walking up to him, a noble and elegant smile slowly forming on her lips.
"Yisen, congratulations on becoming the biggest buyer. I hope your other half will also like it."
As she mentioned the other half, her gaze shifted to Xia Yuge who stood beside Xu Yisen.
Xia Yuge feigned not understanding Qin Muni's words, her smile sunny and bright, as she warmly greeted, "Munni, long time no see."
"Hmm." Qin Muni nodded lightly, then turned her gaze back to the silent Xu Yisen.
Xu Yisen's gaze towards her was piercing, like the icy winds of a harsh winter, mixed with a trace of inquiry.
