Chapter 797: Chapter 797: Taking Advantage but Playing Innocent Chapter 797: Chapter 797: Taking Advantage but Playing Innocent She loved the necklace.
She loved his thoughtfulness.
She loved his confession.
And she loved even more that he had put his heart and soul into ensuring that no one would dare look down upon her because of her background.
There is no more affectionate phrase for the woman he loved most in his life.
Qin Youxuan, held in his arms, no longer worried about who might buy the necklace.
She allowed him to hold her as they resettled in their seats.
“Miss Ye seems very fond of the necklace, but unfortunately, this is a tailor-made gift for my wife and it might not be suitable for you.” Dan Hanjie said mockingly without any reservation.
His provocative eyebrows were slightly raised, as he glanced dismissively at Dan Hanxi sitting next to Ye Mingmei, his eyes cold and harsh.
“Such a romantic affair would be better done privately. Once it’s on the auction stage, the outcome is uncertain.” Dan Hanxi shot a glance at Qin Youxuan nestled in Hanjie’s arms, his eyes becoming dark and gloomy.
Her beauty seemed to radiate only for one man.
And that man was not him.
“Jie, I really do like that necklace, I’m not trying to outbid you on purpose.” The moment Ye Mingmei saw Dan Hanjie, she quickly began to apologize.
At this point, she was not worried about competing with Qin Youxuan for the necklace, rather avoiding upsetting Hanjie was more urgent.
“Thank you for your generosity, Miss Ye.” Dan Hanjie’s eyes flickered slightly, replying nonchalantly.
While the Ye Family could afford the three billion, there was no way Ye Mingmei would dare to cause such a significant loss to their operational funds over a necklace.
Hanjie had given her a way out, whether she could grab it was up to her.
Ye Mingmei is not a total fool who only knows how to be jealous.
Hearing this, she immediately nodded, “Of course I won’t compete with you for whatever you want.”
Pretending to be innocent even when one benefits is such hypocrisy!
Qin Youxuan lifted her head, glanced at the shy Ye Mingmei in front of Hanjie. She dug her fingers into Jie’s palm.
Keep looking, keep looking, I’ll put your eyes out!
If it weren’t for him, Ye Mingmei wouldn’t always be picking on her.
And he even had the nerve to look at other women in front of her…
“Three billion for the first time.”
At the auction stage, the host held up the hammer and struck it for the first time after just a few seconds.
Qin Youxuan could no longer afford to be jealous. She sat upright by Dan Hanjie’s side, watching the cat’s eye necklace on the stage anxiously.
“Three billion for the second time.”
When the hammer fell for the second time, Qin Youxuan bit her lip nervously.
Dan Hanjie had already stated that the necklace was a gift for her, and apart from Dan Hanxi, absolutely no one else would dare to bid now.
Unfortunately, Hanxi was a law unto himself, and no one knew what he was up to.
Qin Youxuan subconsciously looked in Hanxi’s direction, only to find him staring back at her unabashedly. As their eyes met, a cunning smirk appeared on his lips.
He had already prepared to raise the paddle…
Qin Youxuan swallowed hard, her nerves instantly on edge.
Just when she was certain that Dan Hanxi would interfere, she saw an assistant hurriedly walking up to him. After whispering something in his ear, Hanxi’s face changed.
He shot a wary glance in Hanjie’s direction, abruptly got up and quickly left the venue.
“Sold for three billion.”
As the final hammer fell, Qin Youxuan felt all her strength drained out. She leaned helplessly against Hanjie.
She glanced out of the corners of her eyes at the man’s indifferent expression, and couldn’t help frowning, “You don’t seem nervous at all?”
“The necklace is yours now, why don’t you go and collect it?”
