Chapter 301: The Bracelet 3

“After repeated appraisals, we couldn’t identify what material this bracelet was made of. However, the five gemstones on the bracelet were all-natural pigeon blood rubies that were more than two carats. The clarity and purity of the gemstones were the best. It was said that the best jewelry craftsmen in ancient Rome had spent half a year to complete it. It could be said that this bracelet is priceless. Now, the starting price of this bracelet is five million US dollars. Everyone, you can start bidding now.”
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the women present couldn’t wait to start bidding. In an instant, bids were heard one after another.
“5-3 million.” “6 million.’
“6.7 million.”
Ye Lengan sat in her seat. Unlike her previous lack of interest, she was now staring intently at the bracelet. Although she had not started bidding yet, her expression clearly showed great interest in the bracelet.
“You like this bracelet!” Huangfu Ruilings tone was firm.
“Of course I do.” Ye Lengan nodded her head without hesitation. “This bracelet is a good item. Moreover, it’s a rare treasure. How could I not like it?”
As she spoke, her gaze never left the bracelet. It was obvious how much she liked the bracelet. However, she had yet to make a move. Because there were too many people bidding at this time, she did not want to join the frenzy.
She would only bid after there were fewer people bidding. Calling out a price now was purely a waste of effort. The truly competitive bidders were all at the back!
Huangfu Ruiling chuckled when he saw Ye Leng’an’s appearance. “It’s rare to see you like something so much!”
“I’ll show you after 1 win it later.” Ye Lengan smiled and said, “However, if I don’t have enough money to bid for the Seven Star Flower after getting this bracelet, I might have to borrow money from you. But don’t worry, I’ll write an IOU and return it to you in the shortest time possible.”
Since she had encountered it today, she naturally did not want to miss it.
When looking through the catalog earlier, she did not notice anything special about the bracelet. It was only after seeing the real thing that she was moved.
“100 million!” Huangfu Ruiling immediately called out the price. The price of the bracelet, which was originally only 35 million USD, had tripled in an instant. Such a huge amount made the people who were originally bidding stop one after another.
Indeed, this bracelet was very beautiful. However, it was obviously not worth spending 100 million on it.
Even the auctioneer was stunned when he suddenly heard the high price of 100 million.
However, he quickly snapped out of it. Excitement tinged his voice with a slight tremor as he continued, “The guest in private room number one has bid one hundred million US dollars. Is there any higher bid?”
“Huangfu Ruiling, what are you doing?” Ye Lengan looked at Huangfu Ruiling beside her. “Why did you suddenly make a bid? And at such a high price.”
“Since you like it, then just bid for it!” Huangfu Ruiling said lightly, “There is no need to wait here.’
His tone was casual as if the 100 million USD was like 100 dollars to him. However, in reality, 100 million USD was indeed pocket change for him.
Hearing Huangfu Ruilings answer, Ye Lengan felt a little speechless.
Just as the two of them were talking, the auctioneer had already announced the deal.
Looking at the final price, Ye Lengan felt heartache. “You obviously didn’t need to spend that much to get it, yet you insist on paying a high price.”
“It’s most important that you like it.” Huangfu Ruiling said lightly.
Evidently, Ye Lengan was well aware that Huangfu Ruilin was bidding to give the item to her. She didn’t refuse but instead spoke up, “Consider it a favor I owe you. In the future, if you need assistance with anything, feel free to ask.”
If it was anyone else, she would definitely not accept such an extravagant gift. But for some reason, when it came to Huangfu Ruiling, she did not even think of refusing. Perhaps in her heart, Huangfu Ruiling was special!
However, even so, she did not intend to make any promises to Huangfu Ruiling immediately. Because she felt that she still needed to think carefully about matters of the heart, to avoid harming each other..
