Chapter 1322: Yan Xinxin’s Gaze Cannot Look Away, Heartbeat Slightly Accelerates

"Alright!"

Xiao Yiran gritted his teeth and glared angrily at Mo Chuxi, his lips pressed tightly together.

"Mo Chuxi, I, Xiao Yiran, will soon show you what it means to be a femme fatale! Let’s see if you can still laugh then!"

Mo Chuxi noticed the hidden deep meaning on Xiao Yiran’s face at that moment. He smiled nonchalantly, lifted Yan Xinxin’s hand to his lips for a kiss, continuing to show off their affection.

Yan Xinxin’s cheeks blushed slightly, but a smile of happiness still spread at the corner of her lips.

Soon, the "Sun’s Eye" was auctioned off by a wealthy big shot.

Meanwhile, Young Madam Ling, Pei Yuxin, was throwing a tantrum with Young Master Ling.

Everyone present was a figure of social standing, watching Young Madam Ling’s antics, feeling rather sorry for Inspector Ling.

Marrying such a troublesome wife, just watch, sooner or later the family fortune will be squandered by her.

Turning back to look at Yan Xinxin and Mo Chuxi, the two were affectionate, whispering occasionally with light smiles, incredibly sweet and warm.

"Next, we have a gemstone known as the ’King of Cat’s Eye’. Please, everyone, take a moment to appreciate it."

After the female host spoke, staff wearing white gloves presented the gemstone.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xinxin looked up, her gaze instantly captivated.

Completely transparent, like crystal, but under the refraction of light, it emitted a gradation of hues.

Strangely enough, it looked like an entirely transparent bead, yet it seemed as if there was an invisible, dazzling diamond shimmering from within, glowing brilliantly under the lights, like stars.

Yan Xinxin couldn’t tear her eyes away, her heartbeat quickening slightly.

She had seen this cat’s eye gemstone online before.

It’s said to be part of a rich collector’s collection, always carefully preserved, never worn or used.

But now, according to the female host’s introduction, it seemed that due to financial difficulties, the collector reluctantly decided to part with this special cat’s eye.

What a beautiful, exquisite gem it was.

"This unique cat’s eye also has a special nickname, but I’ll keep it a secret for now. Let’s start the bidding, the reserve price is ten billion, with each increment of fifty million, starting now."

As the female host’s words fell, people in the audience began to raise their paddles.

Perhaps because a cat’s eye wasn’t as valuable as other jewelry or diamonds, noticeably fewer people raised their paddles.

Yan Xinxin unconsciously tightened her grip on Mo Chuxi’s hand.

She took a deep breath, glanced sidewise at Mo Chuxi, the man sat lazily and comfortably, his profile handsome and charming, yet devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Yan Xinxin, stay calm, Chuxi just praised you as a considerate and gentle good wife, how can you act impulsively now?

She told herself internally.

Though she did fall in love with this cat’s eye at first sight.

And even though tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions, were just a string of numbers to Mo Chuxi.

She also knew that if she just asked, he would undoubtedly raise the paddle without hesitation.

But...

Suddenly.

Yan Xinxin abruptly remembered something.

Before coming up, Chuxi said he had a surprise for me. Could this surprise be this cat’s eye?

Thinking of this, Yan Xinxin began to look forward to it.

But she waited and waited, until finally, the cat’s eye was sold for twenty-five billion to a man wearing a hat and sunglasses, and Mo Chuxi made no move.

Yan Xinxin lowered her gaze with a bit of disappointment but quickly raised it with a smile again.

It’s just a piece of optional jewelry, there’s no need to feel so down about it.

"Baby, what’s wrong? Not happy?"

Noticing Yan Xinxin’s dejection, Mo Chuxi leaned in to ask.

Yan Xinxin smiled and shook her head.

"No, not at all."

"That’s good, hubby has prepared a surprise for you, it’s coming soon."

"Eh?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, we now proceed to auction tonight’s final item, the pièce de résistance! The starting bid is eighteen point eight billion, with each increment of two billion, and no cap! Please take a moment to appreciate this treasure of unparalleled value!"
