Today, I'm Going to Spend the Billionaire's Hundred Million Again-Chapter 649: As a Betrothal Gift

This tone, it sounds a bit like a dog backed into a corner.

Shen Jue found it a bit baffling.

Who managed to get Rong Qingqing all riled up in just a few seconds?

"Buy it for me." Rong Qingqing pushed the catalog into Shen Jue’s hands, "At first glance, I thought it wasn’t as valuable as gold, but at the second glance, I started to appreciate its beauty, and by the third glance, I decided, this painting must become mine, Rong Qingqing’s! Buy it! You must buy it! No matter how much it costs, you have to win it!"

"Are all women as eloquent as you?" Shen Jue squinted slightly at Rong Qingqing, "Why not flip through the catalog a few more times? Maybe after a few more looks, everything at tonight’s auction will become yours, Rong Qingqing."

Was Rong Qingqing unaware of Shen Jue’s teasing?

She was just a bit guilty.

Rong Qingqing gave a sideways glance at Shen Jue while touching the tip of her nose, "What? President Shen unwilling to spend this money on me? The starting bid is one million."

If it weren’t for a task assigned by the system, Rong Qingqing would never open her mouth like this in her lifetime.

The system really dares to think big.

A starting price of one million—if more people like it tonight and start bidding, who knows how many times the price might increase.

Such antique books and paintings never come cheap.

But fortunately, the more expensive the auctioned item, it implies some potential for appreciation.

Even if there’s no room for appreciation, at least it ensures value maintenance.

"Didn’t I tell you, take a look around to see if there’s anything else you like, I’ll buy anything you fancy for you." Shen Jue smiled, "Consider it an engagement gift."

Rong Qingqing had already clenched her fists, ready to throw a punch, but with Shen Jue’s words, they were rendered useless, and her face turned red instead.

She closed the catalog and threw it directly into Shen Jue’s arms, "Not looking anymore! So annoying!"

The signs of flustered embarrassment were too obvious.

Shen Jue laughed and took her hand, holding it in his palm, then lifted it to his lips and kissed it.

"With so many people watching, you still dare to kiss!" Rong Qingqing heard the sound of shutters clicking and wondered if it was someone taking sneaky photos with a phone or camera.

After speaking, Rong Qingqing pulled her hand back.

But Shen Jue sneered, "Bet none of them would dare to release the photos without my consent."

While they were chatting, someone came over to greet Shen Jue.

They were old acquaintances of Shen Jue. Now that Shen Group is back in Shen Jue’s hands, and the second branch of the Shen Family, which he aggressively suppressed, has no chance to cause waves, so perceptive people understand that the future of Shen Group will be dictated solely by Shen Jue.

After all, even Old Master Shen hasn’t shown up lately.

The interaction between Shen Jue and Rong Qingqing was observed by everyone, so those who came to greet Shen Jue were also very polite to Rong Qingqing.

Someone laughed and asked Shen Jue when they could drink to the couple’s wedding, and noticing Shen Jue’s joy in answering, others took it as a cue to continuously bring up Shen Jue and Rong Qingqing’s affairs as a topic of conversation.

Compliments poured in as if coming in truckloads from an inexhaustible source.

The two haven’t even gotten married yet, and people were already discussing who their future children would resemble.

After finally dealing with the crowd, Rong Qingqing sat there, regretting why she didn’t act aloof and ignore them from the start.

Once everyone dispersed and returned to their seats, the auction commenced.
