the old patriarch, had long seen through everything. He was even more pleased with her secrecy about Lao Si's unpleasant side.Though on the surface she still pretended to be strict, "Nonsense! YinYin...Three days later, the Riddle Auction House.

Outside the auction house, there were many luxury cars parked, dazzling to behold.

A long red carpet stretched from the entrance all the way to the roadside. Security guards and hostesses stood on either side. The scene was filled with the fragrance of perfume and the gathering of distinguished guests, making it a lively and extraordinary event.

Luo Ningxi clutched Li Bochen's arm, her heart pounding with anxiety.

Seeing Luo Ningxi's uneasiness, Li Bichen raised his hand to help her straighten her necklace and leaned down softly to her ear, whispering, "Don't be nervous, let's go in."

Luo Ningxi nodded and entered the auction with Li Bochen.

At this time, most of the seats in the venue had been filled. Luo Ningxi quickly glanced around and found quite a few business magnates.

"I heard that the president of Shengshi Group will be attending today too"

I heard the same thing, apparently they accepted the invitation and even said that the CEO will be there...

"The CEO always acts so mysteriously. Last time he said he'd appear but never did, I wonder if this time is just a rumor"

Hearing someone in the crowd discussing Shengshi Group, Luo Ningxi couldn't help but turn her head to glance at Li Botong.

Thanks to him and Shengshi's CEO applying for this opportunity, I was able to enter the auction so easily.

Today, Li Bohan is dressed in a charcoal gray suit. His face is cold and stern, his aura is particularly strong, and among the wealthy businessmen, he is not inferior at all. Who would have guessed that he is just a "small employee" of Shengshi Group

"Honey, you're so handsome."

She gave her sincere praise.

Li Bochen's thin lips curled up slightly, "Wife, you're beautiful too."

The combination of handsome men and beautiful women quickly attracted a lot of attention.

Li Boheng and Luo Ningxi found their positions, and soon the auction officially began.

In the beginning, many items were auctioned off, with people vying for them. The prices soared to millions, and Loning Xi listened quietly, her heart pounding nervously.

One after another, the auction items were sold, and Luo Ningxi finally achieved his goal for this trip.

The auctioneer on stage held a small hammer in his hand, his smile still bright.

"Next up, this lot is a ruby necklace, the final piece created by the world-renowned jewelry designer Shen Wanru!"

When the auctioneer called out Shen Wanru's name, many in the audience showed expressions of anticipation.

A lady in attendance carried a black velvet box and slowly walked to the center of the stage.

Inside the black velvet box, lay a ruby necklace nestled silently. Under the incandescent light, it sparkled and glowed, its fiery brilliance radiating with opulence.

When the necklace was on display, several people couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

"It's a pity that such a good work doesn't have its own name. What a shame."

The auctioneer shook his head and immediately got to the point.

"Starting bid five million, auction begins."

Though Longningxi desperately wanted the necklace, she didn't rush to raise her sign and bid. Instead, she observed the situation around her first.

"Six million!" someone immediately bid.

"Six million five hundred thousand!"

"Six million six hundred thousand!"

……

As expected, the price of necklaces continues to rise.

Although Lu Ningxi's surface was calm and composed, her clenched fist betrayed the unrest within her heart.

Because she currently only has 12 million in her hands.

This is all she has saved!

Don't worry.

The icy fingertips were suddenly gripped by a warm, inviting hand.

Li Bochen gently separated her clenched palm, revealing a tender smile.

The auctioneer raised the hammer in his hand, "Eight million once! Eight million twice!"

Finally, Luo Ningxi held up the number in her hand.

"Ten million!"

Luningxi directly called a full two million, raising the price.

As expected, when the price reached millions, many bidders began to consider the value of the necklace!

Luningxi stared at the necklace on the table. Although her expression was calm, her heart was pounding with anxiety.

"Ten million once! Ten million twice!"

Time at this node was infinitely stretched, flowing with extreme slowness, but Lon Ningxi's breath gradually became more rapid.

Li Bochen saw the anxiety in Lu Ningxi's eyes. He took out his phone and sent a message with a low head.

"Ten million one hundred thousand!"

A sudden cry broke the silence of the hall, causing Luo Ningxi's heart to skip a beat.

Her gaze quickly darted towards the direction the sound came from, but because of the close seating arrangement in the venue, Luo Ningxi could only see a sea of heads at a glance.

Only one could be seen, license plate number seventeen.

It wasn't just Loningxi; many people at the auction turned their attention to item number seventeen, all curious about who would be so generous as to bid so high for a necklace!

"Two million!" Lu Ningxi raised the price again.

This is her limit.

Now all I hope for is a miracle to happen.

Unfortunately, she wasn't blessed with good luck. The voice raised the price again!

17 million!

Lo Ningxi stood up in a hurry!

My gaze pierced through the crowd and finally landed on the person holding number 17. It was Yu Chengnan!s Bureau together and prevent you from finding an excuse to disappear again!"Luningxi couldn't see his expression, but her heart felt like it had been pierced by something. After a few seconds, she ca...
