Chapter 380: I Want to Eat You Up (2) Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
William brought Mu Xiaoxiao to sit in the middle. He gave an intuitive glare at the door and saw Yin Shaojie walking in unexpectedly.
William frowned. He was surprised.
This guy really had skill!
Yin Shaojie had originally wanted to sit beside them, but there were no more seats left. He could only find an empty spot where Mu Xiaoxiao could see him from her angle.
The auction had long begun, and it was now the second round.
This was Mu Xiaoxiao"s first time at an auction, so the experience was quite novel. After watching for a few rounds, she realize that all manners of things were sold at auctions. The ordinary items consisted of antique jewellery and the like, but there was a person who even auctioned a kiss from themselves.
The person selling her kiss was a supermodel who was very famous in America. She was accompanying a young master of a corporation today, and it confirmed what the entertainment tabloids had been saying: They were dating.
However, what puzzled Mu Xiaoxiao was why that rich young master would allow his girlfriend to auction her kiss if they were lovers.
“The starting price is two hundred thousand American dollars!” the auction host shouted from the stage.
Two hundred thousand American dollars was actually peanuts to the people who were attending the auction. It wasn"t even enough as spending money.
Thus, the price soared very quickly and reached two hundred thousand in no time.
In the end, there were only two or three people fighting over the kiss.
Mu Xiaoxiao saw that the person who was engaged in a bidding war with the rich young master was a CEO of some company.
Could it be a love triangle?
She couldn"t help but imagine dramatic scenarios, but in the end, the CEO won.
The CEO went onto the stage and kissed the model right there and then.
Mu Xiaoxiao was very stunned. How could the man be so vulgar?
Actually, what she didn"t know was that this was only one segment of the auction and that it was used to liven up the atmosphere. After all, this was not a serious auction and was only a way for the rich to socialize.
The next round was made up of goods.
The host indicated for the helpers to bring the items up on stage. A tall western beauty wearing a dress with a slit cat walked out.
At first, Mu Xiaoxiao was already beginning to feel bored, and she even yawned.
However, upon seeing the woman carry out a brocade box with a diamond necklace on top of it, her eyes lit up instantly.
That necklace was made in the shape of a strawberry!
In the middle of the necklace was a big diamond that sparkled a faint pink. It looked magical and pretty!
William saw the expression on her face and smiled. “Like what you see?”
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him curiously. “Did you already know that this was going to be at the auction?”
She had already been suspicious earlier. So the reason for his sudden desire to bring her to an auction was because of this.
William said, “This necklace is a new creation from a designer. However, he doesn"t want to sell it publicly, so he decided to auction it off privately in the hopes of finding a suitable owner.
“Also, did you see that diamond in the middle? It"s one of its kind in the entire world. The designer also bought it at a jewel auction. However, just the diamond fetched a American million dollars at the auction.”
A million American dollars!
Even though Mu Xiaoxiao didn"t really have any concept of money and knew that her family was quite rich, she would only purchase things that were at most in the ten thousand range, unlike these people, who could spend hundreds of thousands of dollars like water.
