Chapter 71

“I’ll offer ten million!”

“I’ll offer twenty million!”

Who could have expected such enthusiasm? The bidding for a piece that started at five million skyrocketed to tens of millions in an instant.

This turn of events took Ye Fengyun completely by surprise, and he couldn’t help but curse.

“Damn, it hasn’t even been that long and it’s already close to a hundred million.”

Ye Fengyun was incredulous. These rich people really know how to play—they treat money as if it holds no value at all!

Seeing Ye Fengyun’s expression, Lin Qinghuan asked, “What’s wrong? Not enough money?”

Ye Fengyun cleared his throat and declared, “A true man born between heaven and earth cannot remain forever beneath others!”

Lin Qinghuan replied, “Speak plainly.”

“Fine, I don’t have enough money.”

Lin Qinghuan covered her mouth, suppressing a laugh.

Ye Fengyun shot her a glare.

“Should I help you?” Lin Qinghuan looked at Ye Fengyun with a playful smile.

“You’ll help me?” Ye Fengyun asked.

“Yes.” Lin Qinghuan nodded.

“Why would you help me?” Ye Fengyun questioned.

Lin Qinghuan replied, “If I help you, of course I’ll have conditions.”

Ye Fengyun curled his lip. “I knew you weren’t so generous.”

Lin Qinghuan hit him, a little annoyed. “Then go ask someone else for help!”

“Alright.” Ye Fengyun stood up as if to leave.

Seeing him about to go, Lin Qinghuan panicked and grabbed his arm, urgently saying, “What are you doing?”

“Going to find someone else,” Ye Fengyun responded with an innocent smile.

Lin Qinghuan stomped her foot in frustration. “How can you be like this? I tell you to go and you really go? Why are you suddenly so obedient?”

Ye Fengyun said, “So are you going to help me or not?”

Lin Qinghuan was thoroughly aggrieved. Clearly, it was he who begged her for help, so why did it feel as if she were begging him? Truly, every force meets its match—this spoiled young lady was completely subdued by Ye Fengyun.

“I’ll help!” Lin Qinghuan cried out, full of grievance.

Anyway, he’d end up giving it to me in the end, so I might as well help.

“Alright then.”

Ye Fengyun immediately raised his sign. “One billion!”

The entire hall fell silent.

Lin Qinghuan’s mouth formed a perfect ‘o’.

Not only the guests, but even the auctioneer was stunned.

The bidding had only reached one hundred seventy million—how did it suddenly leap to one billion?

“Are you insane?” Lin Qinghuan grabbed Ye Fengyun’s sleeve and shook him frantically.

A billion! Her heart was bleeding.

Ye Fengyun said, “Weren’t you the one who offered to help me?”

“I…” Lin Qinghuan was speechless and pressed her temples in resignation. “Alright, I underestimated how thick-skinned you are.”

“One billion once, one billion twice, one billion three times! Congratulations to this gentleman!”

Everyone turned their astonished gaze on Ye Fengyun.

Tang Yilin and Lin Lei looked in Ye Fengyun’s direction, but unfortunately, from where they sat, they couldn’t see his face.

“Who could be so generous, shelling out a billion for ‘Ocean Love’?” Tang Yilin said in surprise.

Lin Lei replied, “Must be some wealthy young heir.”

Tang Yilin sighed with admiration. “‘Ocean Love’ symbolizes eternal, unwavering devotion. To be his woman would be so fortunate.”

Lin Lei frowned, responding irritably, “What, being my woman isn’t good enough for you? Should I hand you over to him for the night?”

Tang Yilin hurriedly took Lin Lei’s arm, flattering him. “Lei, what are you saying? I’m yours, you know~ I was just joking, don’t be jealous~”
