After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!
Chapter 402: Baby, I’m Determined to Have You!

Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Baby, I’m Determined to Have You!

The first to appear was Lydia’s jewelry named "Seine Lake".

Applause rose up.

One after another, people raised their hands, followed by bidding prices.

The price climbed all the way from 500,000 to 2 million.

It was finally sold for 2.2 million US Dollar.

The one who bought "Seine Lake" was a middle-aged man, an agent of a certain Hollywood actress.

Thinking about taking Lydia to thank him later, Dai Qingzhou turned around and found the person.

The second piece was Belly’s, one of the top ten before the competition.

The final sale price was 3 million.

The third piece, the fourth piece...

Just six sets of jewelry, the big bosses were lavishly extravagant.

Lazy, casual voices, spanning extreme prices.

If it weren’t for everyone present knowing that the unit was US Dollar, someone uninformed might think it was Vietnamese Dong.

The designers heard afterwards were all on the competition list, among them were two silver medal winners’ works, and Dai Qingzhou appeared to be confident in victory.

Dai Qingzhou noted down those few fashion enthusiasts who had just called the bid, planning to chat once the banquet ended.

After the auctioned works were moved down from the stage one by one, only the last two pieces remained.

Just as Dai Qingzhou turned around, he heard the introduction from the stage.

"The last piece, Deep Sea Water Demon, designer: Ye."

???

Dai Qingzhou started, abruptly turning around.

Was that... Ye Li’s work?

How could it be?

Looking back at Ye Li, he saw her nod and smile faintly, appearing humble and honorable.

Dai Qingzhou: !!!

A buzz of discussion rose around.

"Is this the gold medalist Ye? But this set of Sapphire wasn’t seen in the competition."

"So, besides the two works in the competition, she submitted others?"

"Radiant officially allows submission of five designs, but most designers choose the two or three best ones. She’s really young, with a promising future!"

"Deep Sea Water Demon, I saw it, it has my name on it, darling, I want it!"

The chatter was nonstop, one could feel all eyes from every direction focusing on her, Ye Li couldn’t help but feel excited.

She couldn’t remember when the thought first occurred to her.

She only recalled waking up one morning, pushing open the door, standing at the second-floor railing shouting, "Dad, Mom, I’ve decided, I want to be a jewelry designer!"

Dad chuckled, "Great, as long as you like it, I’ll fully support you!"

Mom murmured, "Last month you said you wanted to be a dancer, the month before an artist... I’ll wait to see what you’ll switch to next month."

However, she didn’t change.

Since then, everything she did was for jewelry design.

Enrolled in the jewelry design department of Imperial University.

Whenever she had time, she traveled abroad to attend exhibitions.

From the "Shining with You" gold award trophy to today’s "Radiant" gold award trophy, Ye Li felt like she was beginning to realize her dreams.

The trophy was her entry pass.

And at this moment, the auction was the time to prove the value of her dream.

Dad, Mom, your Ah Li can finally earn money on her own!

Dad, do you see this?

Looking dazedly at the Sapphire jewelry on the black velvet exhibition stand, Ye Li’s eyes glistened.

A bold bid pulled Ye Li’s thoughts back.

"5 million!"

An extended uproar.

"Starting this high right away? Is he crazy?"

"Shh...do you see who that is?"

"..."

Ye Li turned around, seeing a tall, handsome guy with brown hair and blue eyes.

About twenty-five or six years old.

The young man was dressed in a black tuxedo.

His collar was tied with a black bow tie.

His nose was high and sharp.

A deep gaze.

Earrings, cufflinks, and wristwatch...

Even his leather shoes were embedded with two large-carat diamonds.

His already handsome and striking face was made particularly dazzling by the embellishments.

In short, the man’s entire aura exuded two words: Wealthy!

Ye Li: ...

"Romeo the little prince is here to flirt again!"

"Ye sure is lucky! Holding a trophy in one hand, linking arms with a rich, handsome guy, this year’s Radiant, she’s the biggest winner!"

"Winner? People sharing a man with many women considered a winner? Would you want this kind of luck?"

"..."

Sensitive to the term Romeo the little prince, Ye Li suddenly knew who it was.

A wealthy young man in the French high-society circles.

Tris.

Because his family holds a title, and he himself is romantically inclined, over time Tris in the circle had gained the nickname Romeo the little prince.

Originally people meant to tease him, but from Tris’s perspective, the nickname seemed to acknowledge his romantic and noble status.

Ye Li instantly felt a headache.

Behind the crowd, Dai Qingzhou almost laughed aloud.

It’s said that life is full of surprises.

This time, it really was a surprise!

Just a moment ago feeling embarrassed because Ye Li had a piece on stage.

This instant, the bid from Romeo the little prince made the artistic value of "Deep Sea Water Demon" plummet to the bottom.

If any other person had bid 5 million, not even waiting until tomorrow morning, perhaps once they left the banquet hall, Ye Li’s name would echo throughout the international fashion circle.

But it happened to be that Romeo the little prince.

In the French high-society circles, who doesn’t know that Tris is the most romantically inclined?

Spending a fortune to win a woman’s favor wasn’t the first time this happened.

With him making a move, others, even if they absolutely loved "Deep Sea Water Demon", had to consider whether or not they could, and whether or not they should, offend Tris and the Tris family behind him.

Tides quickly turned, truly... marvelous!

"6 million!"

Another voice rang out.

The smile froze, Dai Qingzhou quickly turned around.

Seeing Pierre winking at Ye Li.

Ye Li looked grateful.

Her heart almost instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.

Someone saved the day, at least it proved that Tris wasn’t someone that no one dared to provoke here.

The only worry was if Tris insisted on pursuing her, then she...

Not waiting for Ye Li to continue worrying, what she feared happened.

"8 million!"

Tris raised the bid again.

Looking at Ye Li with a smiling gaze, as if saying: Baby, I’m determined to have you!

Ye Li looked back again, seeing Pierre with apologetic eyes.

Their relationship was just one of shared tastes at fashion shows, not even as friends.

Pierre being involved in the bidding was already the greatest sincerity towards their acquaintance, how could she force him to help her all the way?

"8 million once..."

"8 million twice..."

Her heart beat nervously.

As soon as she thought about the auction closing, Tris would be in front of her with a glass of wine.

Even if she had no affection for him, she had to, for the sake of her work’s reputation and the banquet’s face, be amicable with him.

Just the thought made Ye Li’s head spin.

"8 million thr..."

"10 million!"

A sharp voice rose from behind the crowd.
