Chapter 88 - Auction

Seeing that the main characters of the gossip had all left, the audience also dispersed. Each of them returned to their respective seats.

The auction officially began. Some of these auctions were the masterpieces of the master, some were the collections of the collectors, and some were donated by the guests. Regardless of which one it was, they were all extremely valuable.

"Is there anyone you like?" He Ruiting whispered into Su Jinyi's ear.

"Nope." Su Jinyi laughed as she shook her head.

She didn't really know much about those works of art. The only thing she could understand about them was the jewelry. However, the jewelry was too expensive and she didn't have to take it, so she decided to just forget about it.

He Ruiting looked at her thoughtfully and did not speak any further.

The next auction item was designed by a well-known designer. It was a necklace called Love.

The necklace was very special. On the silver chain hung a small crystal ball, inside it was a pink cherry blossom rain. Under the shine of the light, it emitted a kind of moving smell.

He Ruiting who was seated at the side saw all of Su Jinyi's expressions.

"The starting price for this necklace is five million two hundred thousand." The host on stage said.

There were some people bidding, all because of some happy bosses who wanted to win over the women beside them. Amongst them, there was also Li Yi, of course, he was the one who kept on acting coquettishly and insisted on taking the necklace.

"8 million." He Ruiting suddenly raised his board, and instantly raised the bid to 8 million.

At this time, the number of people calling out prices had decreased by more than half. As the price continued to rise, He Ruiting yelled out, "Ten million."

"What are you doing!" Su Jinyi was shocked. Although she did like the necklace, but there was no need to spend so much money to buy it.

"Don't you like it? I'll buy it for you. " He Ruiting said.

"It's too expensive." Su Jinyi pulled his sleeve, and said softly.

He Ruiting only laughed, and did not speak, he continued to pay attention to the progress of the auction.

"Eleven million." Li Yi also raised his board.

"Fifteen million." He Ruiting raised his hand without thinking.

"Forget it, stop shouting." Su Jinyi frowned, advising He Ruiting to stop shouting.

"Only you can wear this necklace." He Ruiting smiled at her, as if he was determined to win.

Just then, the host started hammering on the stage, just as he knocked on the second time, Li Yi shouted out: "20 million."

When the price had risen to such a high level, everyone was already shocked. Furthermore, at this time, only Li Yi and He Ruiting were shouting out prices, everyone had turned into eating melons, watching from the sidelines.

"30 million!" He Ruiting calmly raised his hand.

The host took in a deep breath as he stood on the stage.

Li Yi sat at the back and frowned. Su Jingran sat beside him and was extremely unreconciled to what had happened. She tugged on Li Yi's arm, "Brother Yi, I really like that necklace."

"Overbudget." Li Yi was more rational, in front of women and benefits, he would definitely put benefits first.

"But …" Su Jingran could not take this lying down. If this was the case, then whatever limelight would be snatched away by Su Jinyi.

"Alright, be quiet." Although Li Yi would still be a little unwilling in his heart, but taking into account the fact that they were still cooperating with the He's, he couldn't show too much opposition.

Thirty million going thrice, deal, congratulations Mr. He Ruiting, you have succeeded in getting this necklace. " The backers excitedly finalized it.

"Mrs. He, are you happy?" He Ruiting turned his head and said to Su Jinyi with a smile.

Su Jinyi was stunned, she looked at He Ruiting blankly, her emotions were mixed, and tears welled up in her eyes. She lowered her head, got up and quickly ran away.

Seeing Su Jinyi suddenly run away, everyone found it strange and started discussing softly. Not only was everyone confused, even He Ruiting was confused. He did not know why Su Jinyi suddenly ran out.

He Ruiting did not think too much and quickly followed as well. Su Jinyi did not run very far, so she was carrying her skirt, walking slowly. She did not even have the time to run to the main entrance when she was pulled by He Ruiting.

"Su Jinyi, where are you going?" He Ruiting asked somewhat anxiously.

"I …" Su Jinyi was pulled by him until he turned around, but he kept his head lowered, not daring to look him in the eye. He didn't even want him to see his current appearance.

"Look up at me." He Ruiting said in a heavy voice.

Su Jinyi lowered his head, and continuously shook it, unwilling to raise his head and look at him. He Ruiting reached out and grabbed her head, lifting her head up, forcing her to look at him. The moment Su Jinyi's head was lifted, it was as if his heart was struck by something; it was extremely painful.

"Why are you crying?" He Ruiting asked as he gently wiped her tears.

"Why are you so good to me?" Su Jinyi snorted, and asked with a sobbing tone of voice.

"Because you are my, He Ruiting's, woman, wife." He Ruiting said seriously.

"Am I really worth being so kind to me?" Su Jinyi asked as she looked at him with her teary eyes.

He Ruiting hugged her tightly, then Su Jinyi heard him say, "It's worth it."

"Really?" Su Jinyi escaped from his embrace and asked uncertainly.

"Look at me, do I look like I'm lying to you?" He Ruiting said with a smile.

"You'll never lie to me?" Su Jinyi looked into his eyes and asked.

He Ruiting was silent. Su Jinyi did not hear his answer, nor could he understand the expression on his face.

"Alright, let's stop thinking too much. Let's go." He Ruiting smiled at her.

"Where to?" Su Jinyi subconsciously asked.

"You don't want the necklace?" He Ruiting lovingly scratched her nose, then led her away.

On the way back, Su Jinyi touched the necklace on her neck, she was lost in thought. As He Ruiting drove, she secretly sized her up, but didn't say anything. She kept thinking back to the question she had just asked.

"You'll never lie to me?"

At that moment, He Ruiting's heart felt a little impulsive. He really wanted to tell her and answer her, but looking at her expression, He Ruiting couldn't say it out loud. He was afraid that if he said it out loud, the relationship between the two of them wouldn't be like this. He knew that that day would come sooner or later, but he didn't want that day to come too quickly. At the very least, he wanted to find a suitable time for it.

One, a chance for both of them.
