Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage

Bid for the Ring

The buttons for bid located near the sofa where Jenny was sitting, a row of ten blue buttons with

number one to ten and a row of ten green ones. She pushed the blue button with number one randomly

and five hundred and fifty thousand yuan, the bid price of their box were shown on the electronic

screen.

“Number one for adding fifty thousand yuan, number two for adding one hundred thousand yuan and

number three for adding one hundred and fifty thousand yuan, right?” Jenny looked up and asked.

Luke nodded, “Yes.”

“What about the row of green buttons?” Jenny was a little curious.

“They represent the multiple of the present price you are going to bid.”

“What?” Jenny drew back her hand with a rush.

“Is this really an auction? It is more dreadful than gambling.”

For a while after Luke, no one bid for the ring. When the number five hundred and fifty thousand were

flickering on the electronic screen and the countdown at the bottom right had been number two, a big

number lighted up on the screen.

“One million and one hundred thousand yuan.”

It was from the next-door box.

Jenny had a look at the green buttons spontaneously and swallowed, “The person must have high

aspirations on the ring!”

After such a high price, no one bid anymore. Since such a small ring couldn’t be more useful except

being collected in a box, it seemed a little modest for most vulgar people here.

“Bid,” Luke still said tonelessly.

He didn’t told Jenny how much did he want to add, so she still pushed the blue button with number one

and the highest price became one million one hundred and fifty thousand yuan.

However, the number one million and five hundred thousand soon appeared on the screen. It was still

from the next-door box.

“Bid.”

“One million five hundred and fifty thousand yuan.”

“Two million yuan.”

“Bid.”

In the box, except the voice of the host from the loudspeaker, only left the toneless word “bid” from

Luke. Jenny couldn’t see how persistent was Luke for the ring from his face. She just added fifty

thousand yuan unhurriedly each time and he didn’t react to it. It seemed that he was bidding against

the next-door people rather than for the ring.

“Five million yuan.”

“Bid.”

“Really?” exclaimed Jenny. A ring with the starting price of two hundred thousand yuan now had

increased over twenty times of its price. She was ignorant of antiques, but the high price was really

ridiculous.”

“Bid.” Luke turned his head and cast a glance at her with a relaxed look. “What do you want to eat after

the auction?”

At the moment, Jenny was distracted and pushed wrongly to the green button.

“Ten million yuan from box 802.”

As the voice of the host’s clear words came from the loudspeaker, Jenny was stiff and stared at her

hand with open mouth and blank brain.

It seemed that Luke felt nothing about it since he had no response. Withdrawing the gaze from Jenny,

he turned his head to the electronic screen.

“Ten million for the first time. Ten million for the second time. Ten million for the third time. That’s the

deal.”

The final price of this gold-plated green jade ring is ten million yuan.

At first, Jenny thought that she had done a wrong thing. However, while they were waiting for the

transaction, Luke was very cozy and said with a joking tone, “If you had added fifty thousand yuan

again, I’m afraid that the final price would have exceeded ten million yuan.”

Jenny was slightly stunned. “Why?”

“You regard fifty thousand yuan as a low price and so does your opponent. Therefore, he wouldn’t feel

too much for adding fifty thousand yuan. Many a little makes a mickle. It is possible to be ten million

yuan by adding fifty thousand yuan each time. He wouldn’t have the same sense of gaping directly

from five million yuan to ten million yuan if he just adds fifty thousand yuan each time. Adding more fifty

thousand yuan wouldn’t do much harm. That is the mental activity of a human.”

The voice of Luke was not very loud but powerful and Jenny understood his words right away.

Hesitating for a while, she asked, “Why didn’t you told me earlier?”

Maybe they could make the deal at the price of five million yuan.

“There’s no need. The higher price the ring is, he would value it more. Today’s auction is not only an

auction.”

Luke said these carelessly. When the host brought the ring to them followed by security officers, Luke

wore the ring directly to the finger of Jenny. It fit well as if it were tailored to Jenny.

Jenny felt her hand very heavy. It was like carrying a safe box. Ten million yuan? Are you kidding?

“Well, you shouldn’t give it to me,” she said with hesitation.

“Wear it.” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Then Luke patted her hand to let her sit down. “Wait me for a moment. I have to deal with some

business.”

“Why not take me with you?” said pouty Jenny with an aggrieved expression, “Maybe you want to do

some underhand things against me?”

Luke looked gentle in his eyes.

“I’m going to discuss some business things about boss Bao with Sky, so we should avoid being

noticed. If you are interested, I’ll tell you when I’m back.”

Jenny laughed. “I was joking. You go.”

In fact, she had realized that today’s auction was more like a friend-making party. Luke treated boss

Bao very differently. Whether they “encountered” at the door or they took a fancy to the same antique,

these showed that Luke was very interested with boss Bao.

Sky may be the helpful intermediary.

Leaving the box, Luke looked for Sky to the planned place. Their boxes located at the second floor

while the place they were going to meet was a lounge at the third floor.

When he arrived, the door of the lounge was half closed. As he knocked at the door, there was no

response, so he entered directly.

Some human voice was heard from the toilet.

“Miss Song, since it is said that most stars don’t have scars, how did you got the scar on your back? It

looks obvious.”

“Well, I was bit by a giant salamander when I swam in the water to save a person in an aquarium. This

kind of fish can bite flesh out of a human, so the scar remains to today.

“ Since plastic surgery is developed now, why don’t you have a try?”

“That’s all right. If I cover my back with clothes, nobody shall notice the scar. I don’t want to suffer the

pain of plastic surgery.”

“Miss Song, you are so kind! Who on earth were worthy of your save in the aquarium?”

“It was my brother, who was not able to swim. I couldn’t think much at that time, so I just tried to save

him when he fell down to the water.”

As they kept talking in the toilet, Luke was standing there without a slight move, shocked.

Then as the door of the toilet was opened, Sky came out clearing up the clothes with her head down.

Then when she looked up and saw Luke, she was frightened. “Luke, when...when did you arrived?”

“Did the aquarium name Polaris Aquarium?”

The voice of Luke reverberated in the whole lounge. His face was stiff with unbelievable expression,

which rarely appeared.
