Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 1623 - 359: The Banquet

"Thirty-eight million!"

Suddenly, Duan Ziqing impulsively pressed the bidding button, joining the auction for the three jade raw materials.

An Yiqing’s eyes flashed, without saying a word, she continued to watch the auction.

However, Qiu Yanran and Qiu Qingran, the two sisters, were somewhat puzzled by Duan Ziqing’s action.

"Ziqing, didn’t you always dislike participating in the Country Fei Public Disk?" Qiu Yanran asked in confusion, though she hadn’t known Duan Ziqing for a long time, she knew this man, although the third son of the Duan Family, had little interest in raw jade materials and jadeite. He even once said that if he became the Family Head of the Duan Family, he would change the family’s main business and no longer deal in such a risky jade business.

"As a descendant of the Duan Family, I should know a bit about jade, right? Otherwise, it would be quite improper." Duan Ziqing said nonchalantly, brushing off the matter with a smile.

He looked at An Yiqing’s unmoving silhouette, his upturned phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, a hint of alluring wickedness emanating.

"Is Xiao Qing also interested in these three jade raw materials?" Duan Ziqing asked softly, his tone akin to whispering to a lover.

An Yiqing turned around, slightly nodded, her expression calm, "Indeed, these three raw materials look quite promising."

"Oh? I don’t have much expertise in this area, but since Xiao Qing likes them, I might as well buy them for you as a gift."

As soon as Duan Ziqing finished speaking, Qiu Yanran protested loudly.

"Ziqing, what do you mean by this? I was wondering why you suddenly turned to liking raw materials, turns out you were waiting for this moment! Didn’t you say your old man limited your credit card?" Qiu Yanran glared angrily at An Yiqing, her eyes filled with intense jealousy and hostility.

Duan Ziqing ignored her, his attractive eyes remained fixed on An Yiqing, seemingly filled with spring water, enticing women relentlessly.

An Yiqing looked at him indifferently for a moment, then slowly shook her head.

"I appreciate Mr. Duan’s kindness, but Elder Duan is Elder Duan, and you are you, clarity in relationships is better. Whether I can obtain the raw materials depends on my capability; if I fail, it’s merely due to my own lack of skill."

With that said, An Yiqing no longer looked at him and turned towards the stairs.

"Tsk, Ziqing, you’ve got it wrong, haven’t you? You eagerly went ahead but she doesn’t even remember you!" Qiu Yanran said mockingly, eager for a spectacle.

Qiu Qingran gently tugged Qiu Yanran with disapproval in her eyes.

Duan Ziqing remained silent, his wicked smile unchanged, but a cold sharpness flickered deep in his eyes.

The bidding continued, and the price for the three jade raw materials had reached forty-four million. At this time, three people were still bidding in the auction hall: An Yiqing, Duan Ziqing, and a man on the second floor.

Gradually, the man’s voice faded, clearly, the price for these three raw materials had surpassed his estimated budget.

"Forty-six million!" Duan Ziqing lazily shouted, then put down the bidding device, looking at An Yiqing with a seductive gaze, "Xiao Qing, do you want to keep bidding?"

An Yiqing’s red lips slightly pursed, "Forty-seven million."

"Forty-eight million!" Duan Ziqing continued.

The room’s atmosphere became somewhat stagnant, Duan Shan frowned, coldly looking at Duan Ziqing, unsure of his true intentions.

Zhang Yuksheng and Hua Yun showed concern; this Third Young Master of the Duan Family was too sharp, could it cause a rift between their young lady and Elder Duan?

Ruan Xue and Xia Hao, however, leisurely watched the spectacle, anticipating the upcoming drama.

The price for the three jade raw materials was nearing its limit, An Yiqing and Duan Ziqing no longer bid by millions, but instead by increments of hundreds of thousands. Quickly, the bidding for the raw materials broke fifty million, raised by Duan Ziqing. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Fifty million! The current price is fifty million! Is there anyone else who wants to bid? Does the lady from earlier want to bid again?" The auctioneer held a little hammer, looking towards the direction of An Yiqing’s room.

In the room, An Yiqing’s red lips slightly pursed, her eyes narrowed as she gazed outside.

"If no one bids, then these three jade raw materials will belong to that gentleman just now! Fifty million first time!"

"Fifty million second time!"

"Fifty million third time! Sold! The raw materials go to Mr. 1014!"

The auctioneer was about to speak further when suddenly a voice interrupted him.

"I want to give these raw materials to the lady who bid against me earlier, to express my fondness for her."

The auctioneer’s eyebrow twitched, "Oh? Are you sure, sir?"
