Chapter 872: Chapter 870: Money-wasting Gimmick (Seventh Update)

Xiao Yifeng wasn’t concerned about these trivialities; he just kept on eating at the table, appearing somewhat out of place. Ye Yaxin symbolically put forth one million for an item.

"Now we will auction Miss Situ Qian’s donation, owner of Beauté company, which is a bottle of perfume starting at three hundred thousand."

The auctioneer announced.

"Holy crap, a bottle of perfume for three hundred thousand, they’ve got to be kidding!"

Xiao Yifeng nearly choked on his food in astonishment, glancing over at Situ Qian who was tilting her head up, resembling a proud swan.

"Five hundred thousand!"

"Eight hundred thousand!"

"One million!"

"One million five hundred thousand!"

"Three million!"

In the blink of an eye, the price of Situ Qian’s perfume skyrocketed to three million, becoming the highest bid of the evening, leaving many in attendance in shock.

"Damn, what’s with the world, a bottle of women’s perfume going for so much money—these people must be out of their minds."

Xiao Yifeng remarked.

"They are not out of their minds; they’re doing this because of Situ Qian’s status and position, so they want to take this opportunity to cozy up to Miss Situ."

Ye Yaxin said softly.

"My wife is smart, but when the time comes, your item will surely fetch a higher price than that woman’s."

Xiao Yifeng said.

"My calligraphy isn’t that great; getting one million for it would be decent enough."

Ye Yaxin replied with a gentle smile.

"Five million!"

In the end, that bottle of perfume from Situ Qian concluded at a staggering five million, making one ponder.

However, everyone present knew that this perfume, worth a mere few tens of thousands, fetched such a price solely because of the backing of the Situ Family and Situ Qian’s title and abilities as the Black Rose. If not for these, the perfume would never be worth so much.

"Qian, you’re quite something. So many people were after just one bottle of your perfume, driving the price this high. I reckon your item might be the highest priced today."

Situ Yuntian said with a faint smile.

"They’re just trying to seize this opportunity to connect with me—a bunch of ignorant people!"

Situ Qian scoffed.

"Next, we will be auctioning a Ming Dynasty painting donated by Miss Ye Yaxin of Tianhai Ye Corporation, starting at one hundred thousand."

No sooner had Situ Qian’s lot finished than Ye Yaxin’s calligraphy came up.

However, the painting itself wasn’t of great value, and with the Ye Corporation not being well-known in Yanjing, there weren’t many bidders—only a few wealthy young men who found Ye Yaxin attractive had placed a few bids.

The result was less than seven hundred thousand, a very low price compared to other auctioned items present, significantly less than what Situ Qian’s perfume fetched, leaving Ye Yaxin somewhat embarrassed.

"Hmph!"

"Delusional clown!"

Witnessing Ye Yaxin’s embarrassment, Situ Qian from afar snorted contemptuously, tilting her neck even higher with a tinge of scorn.

Princess Zi Luo and Sun Ziyun both glanced over at Ye Yaxin and Xiao Yifeng.

Sun Ziyun was about to bid when a calm voice suddenly erupted, surprising everyone present.

"One billion!"

This statement silenced the entire charity gala. All eyes rapidly turned to the bidder—it was Xiao Yifeng.

"You..."

Even Ye Yaxin was taken aback, her gaze sharply turning to Xiao Yifeng.

"It’s alright, consider it a charity!"

Xiao Yifeng smiled wickedly.

Situ Qian heard Xiao Yifeng bid that price from a distance and her expression soured, her eyes flickering before she spat out:

"Mr. Xiao, you are Miss Ye Yaxin’s fiancé. It’s your fiancée’s item up for auction. As the fiancé bidding, do you feel that no one else will buy your fiancée’s items, and think it’s somewhat embarrassing?"

Situ Qian’s words were somewhat harsh to the ear, and they carried a hint of mockery, making Ye Yaxin’s already embarrassed face turn even uglier.

Xiao Yifeng let out a cold laugh and said, "Bro, I have money and nowhere to spend it, so why can’t I spend a billion to buy something from my own fiancée? If you’ve got the means, why don’t you spend a billion to buy your bottle of perfume, and make a contribution to charity as well?"

"You..."

Situ Qian’s face was dark with anger, clearly infuriated.

"Alright, Qian, don’t get angry, stay calm, stay calm!"

Situ Yuntian said soothingly.

"Honey, give me a kiss!"

Xiao Yifeng wrapped his arms around Ye Yaxin and pecked her on the lips, leaving her face flushed with embarrassment.

Sun Ziyun, Princess Zi Luo, and Liusheng Yiyi, the three women, all had a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes as they watched the scene.

In the end, Ye Yaxin’s painting was bought by Xiao Yifeng for a billion.

"Next up for auction is a Golden Armor Feather Robe specially provided by Japan’s Princess Zi Luo. It’s said that the robe is exceptionally light and thin but tougher than steel, resistant to blades and guns, making it incredibly precious. The opening bid is one million!"

The auctioneer brought out a gold-colored robe, which was crafted with golden threads woven into feathers to form the entire garment.

"Golden Silkworm Thread, I didn’t expect to find such a thing here."

Long Qian suddenly spoke up.

"What is Golden Silkworm Thread?"

Xiao Yifeng looked surprised.

"Golden Silkworm Thread is produced by a type of silkworm known as the Golden Silkworm. This silk is incredibly strong and resilient with exceptional defensive power. This garment is made entirely of Golden Silkworm Thread. Although it’s not a Spiritual Artifact, its defensive ability is even more powerful than that of defensive Spiritual Artifacts."

Long Qian explained calmly.

"That powerful!"

Xiao Yifeng’s eyes sparkled as he stared at the Golden Silkworm Feather Robe.

"Two million!"

Situ Yuntian raised the bid directly.

"One billion!"

This familiar voice rang out again, instantly drawing the attention of the entire crowd once more to Xiao Yifeng, silently noting that it was that guy again.

Situ Yuntian also looked somewhat frustrated at Xiao Yifeng.

"Why are you bidding such a high price again?"

Ye Yaxin couldn’t help but say, as she looked at Xiao Yifeng.

At this moment, everyone in attendance wanted to say just four words to Xiao Yifeng: A profligate spender!

For a mere charity auction, to suddenly pull out two billion, that was truly wasteful.

"This item is not bad, and besides, your husband can still afford two billion!"

Xiao Yifeng said nonchalantly.

In the end, the Golden Silkworm Feather Robe was once again acquired by Xiao Yifeng for a high price of a billion.

"Now, please welcome our next auction item, also provided by the hostess of tonight’s charity gala, Miss Sun Ziyun—an exquisite pair of Dragon and Phoenix Bracelets! The starting bid is five hundred thousand!"

The auctioneer called out again, bringing out a pair of bracelets.

The bidding quickly escalated, and the price soared all the way to three million, bringing a subtle smile to Sun Ziyun’s face.

"One billion!"

For the third time, that familiar voice sounded, and this time, no one in the audience showed a shocked expression. Their gaze went straight to Xiao Yifeng, as it was clear that this third bid was also from him.
