62: Chapter 62 Dinner – 100 million 62: Chapter 62 Dinner – 100 million “One hundred million!” the host shouted, “The lady in the back has bid one hundred million, anyone else raising the price?”
The venue once again fell into noise, everyone turned their heads to see who was spending so extravagantly.
Normally, such high bids would only come from the VIP area at the front, but this time the voice came from the back rows, which puzzled those present even more.
“Hey, isn’t that Luo Shiqi?
Why is she sitting in the back?” a man whispered.
I just saw her by the door, she even drove Zhang Li away,” another person chimed in.
“Right, I saw that too, it seems it was all for the guy sitting next to her,” the man pointed toward Ye Shikai and said.
“Shh, keep your voice down, don’t you see she’s sitting next to Miss Luo, be careful, she might overhear our gossip, and that would not end well,” a woman anxiously spoke, her gaze towards Luo Shiqi filled with wariness.
“Yes, yes, yes, oh, isn’t that lady next to him Su Qingyu?”
“Yes, both Su sisters arrived, seems like the guy was brought here by Su Qingyu.”
The crowd below was abuzz with talk, and Ye Shikai, Luo Shiqi, and Su Qingyu instantly became the center of attention, likely this incident would soon spread all over Yanjing.
“Let’s quiet down, everyone.
Miss Luo has offered one hundred million, any more bids?” the host hurriedly tried to maintain order.
The venue quieted down again; those in the regular area were more fearful of Luo Shiqi.
Who dares compete for something the ‘Female King Yan’ wants, while those in the VIP area also shook their heads.
Competing with Luo Shiqi was like snatching food from a tiger’s mouth, it’s better to curry a favor with Luo Shiqi by letting her have her way.
Su Qingyu looked on with displeasure from the side, she had just stealthily glanced in Ye Shikai’s direction and saw Luo Shiqi flirting with him in public, even holding onto him, it was obviously irritating for her.
But what could she do?
Su Qingyu hadn’t made her relationship with Ye Shikai public, how could Luo Shiqi know she was seducing her own husband?
However, Su Qingyu definitely didn’t know that Luo Shiqi already knew about their relationship.
“One hundred million once, one hundred million twice, sold!
Congratulations to Miss Luo on acquiring this emerald Qilin pendant,” the host excitedly announced and instructed several attendants to pack the pendant and deliver it to Luo Shiqi.
“How do you like it?” Luo Shiqi took the pendant out from the packaging box, under the light, the translucent emerald emitted a faint green glow, looking very mystical.
“Truly a treasure,” Ye Shikai couldn’t help but remark.
There were also many rare treasures in the Netherworld Palace’s vault, but this pendant was not any less impressive.
Su Qingyu felt even more annoyed, though Tianya Group was quite capable, it only had a market value of a couple billion, nothing like Luo Shiqi’s lavish spending of a hundred million on a luxury item; perhaps this was just innate jealousy among women.
“What if I gift this to you?” Luo Shiqi swung the pendant in front of Ye Shikai, her face brimming with triumph.
“Ugh…forget it, I’m not worth a billion.” Ye Shikai shook his head, unwilling to accept rewards without merit, especially from Luo Shiqi, even though he really liked the pendant, but heaven knows what she intended by flirting with him.
“Hehe.” Luo Shiqi giggled softly, then slowly stood up in front of everyone, and walked behind Ye Shikai.
“What are you doing?” Ye Shikai felt Luo Shiqi approaching him from behind and instinctively wanted to stand up.
“Don’t move.” Luo Shiqi placed her hand gently on Ye Shikai’s shoulder and pushed him back down onto his seat, then cunningly leaned close to his ear and said, “I’ll put it on for you.”
Ye Shikai’s cheek felt a rush of warmth; he didn’t expect Luo Shiqi to be so bold in front of so many people.
Her red lips were only inches away from his face.
Su Qingyu almost couldn’t resist when she saw this scene, it looked as if Luo Shiqi was kissing Ye Shikai’s cheek…
At that moment, a phrase crossed Su Qingyu’s mind: shameless couple.
Before Ye Shikai could react, Luo Shiqi had already hung the emerald pendant around his neck, grabbing both ends of the pendant and securing it at the back of his neck, appearing like a devoted wife putting a necklace on her husband, looking very affectionate.
“What am I seeing, Luo Shiqi actually putting a necklace on a man, who has such an honor?”
“Yes, and that too the same pendant auctioned just now, worth a whole billion, directly hanging around his neck now.”
“This man must be remembered, he could possibly be Luo Shiqi’s lover.
If we unintentionally offend him in the future, we are done for.”
The crowd below began to stir, Luo Shiqi is who?
The Queen of Yanjing’s underworld, nobody in all of Yanjing dared disrespect her.
Previously, some spoiled rich kids from major families in Yanjing tried to flirt with Luo Shiqi and ended up thrown into the river the next day; the families retrieving the corpses didn’t dare utter a single word, and since then, Luo Shiqi has become a taboo figure in Yanjing.
And now, she was personally putting a necklace on a man, it was unbelievable, and for a moment, everyone began whispering quietly, speculating about their relationship, especially about Ye Shikai, whom no one had seen before.
Everyone was guessing his identity, wondering if he might be a Crown Prince from another province.
“Miss Luo, please take back your gift.” Finally, Su Qingyu couldn’t bear it any longer, stood up, and spoke to Luo Shiqi with a very cold tone, starkly contrasting those who usually flattered Luo Shiqi.
“Oh~~ Miss Su, is there something wrong with me giving him this pendant?” Luo Shiqi replied with a smile.
“Ye Shikai is an employee of our group, Miss Luo, giving him such a big gift, seems like you might be trying to poach him.” Su Qingyu scoffed sarcastically.
“Ah, so Miss Su is worried about me poaching?
Rest assured then, this gift is a token of love between him and me, does your company not allow its employees to be in a relationship?”
What, a token of love?
Ye Shikai was stunned when he heard this; how did it become a token of love?
Moreover, Luo Shiqi said this in front of his wife, obviously trying to make Su Qingyu misunderstand him.
Ye Shikai broke into a cold sweat, looked at Luo Shiqi’s face, and surprisingly noticed her lips slightly curling upwards, her face unable to hide her pleasure.
This vixen, she was indeed doing it on purpose.
