Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go

Chapter 780: Chapter 781: He Offers Two Million

The price suddenly shot up from four hundred thousand to one million, an increase of six hundred thousand in one go! Everyone’s eyes were focused on the VIP seats. Xia Qingqian also anxiously watched the buyer, her eyes filled with gratitude, as if a heavy burden had been lifted. Yet, when her gaze fell on the stern man sitting in the innermost part of the luxurious sofa, her body trembled; he was here as well...

Even the cold and silent Beitang Yao slowly raised his eyes, looking at the excited Du Ziheng who had stood up. Though he knew Du Ziheng was a womanizer, he didn’t think he would buy a woman who had debased herself.

Beitang Yao’s eyes suddenly fell on the stage, where she wore a sexy, revealing leather skirt. He noticed her slight tremble. When he looked away, he saw other men staring intently at her alluring figure, which made his face darken inexplicably.

Those big eyes didn’t match her original temperament at all. Moreover, those eyes reminded him of the woman who had brought him immense humiliation.

Once Du Ziheng of A City spoke, no one else dared to compete. It looked like tonight’s beauty would end up in Du Ziheng’s grasp.

”One million, going once—”

”One million, going twice—”

The auctioneer was about to raise the small gavel and asked, ”One million, going twice, any higher bids?”

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the auctioneer to drop the gavel.

The atmosphere was tense. Just as the auctioneer was about to drop the gavel, a voice, more pleasant and slightly cold, rang out, ”Two million.”

As Xia Qingqian was filled with anxiety, Beitang Yao coldly declared a bid of two million. She couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. Although Du Ziheng was attractive, for some reason, she hoped Beitang Yao would buy her.

Even one thousand more, and she could follow Beitang Yao.

When Beitang Yao called out the bid, everyone was stunned. Only the auctioneer calmly counted thrice, ”Two million, going once!” and then the gavel fell, sealing the deal.

Du Ziheng, realizing what had happened, threw a punch at Beitang Yao, swearing, ”I know you have a lot of money, but don’t compete with me for a woman!” He observed the woman on stage and found a trace of familiarity in her, especially those eyes.

If Beitang Yao couldn’t let go of that woman, he could find someone similar to heal his wounded heart.

”Fair competition,” Beitang Yao said lightly.

”I brought you out here to relax, yet you spent an extra million for no reason...” Du Ziheng tried to speak candidly with Beitang Yao, but now they were competing for the same woman.

”Two million is too cheap.” Beitang Yao looked at the woman being led over by the madam. She seemed relieved, gazing at him with gratitude and even joy, but also a hint of reluctance.

Yes, Xia Qingqian was grateful that he had bought her, joyous because she could finally save her father, and reluctant about her fate...

In his heart, Beitang Yao scoffed: Hmph, these pure women are so hypocritical, using their pride to do the lowest deeds.

The madam whispered in Xia Qingqian’s ear, ”You’re lucky. Your father’s gambling debt is paid off, and you’ve earned a million. Congratulations.” The madam’s voice carried a mix of hatred and envy. After all, none of her girls, not even the top ones, had ever fetched such a high price. A girl with just a pure and sweet appearance actually caught the attention of A City’s four young masters. If it weren’t for Fourth Young Master Mu saying a few good words, she wouldn’t have held an auction for a girl like Xia Qingqian lacking in resources.
