Chapter 169 - Two Hundred Million

Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and felt utterly annoyed. It was not a question about being able to afford the money; it was about how Han Qingshan had completely and utterly embarrassed him in front of Jiang Yingyue.

Miss Gou was also feeling immensely regretful. She wanted the necklace so much, and she was convinced that Zhou Yan was bidding on it for her.

In the end, Han Qingshan won it, and he smiled sweetly to Jiang Yingyue by his side, who was utterly stumped by his overwhelming display of goodwill by donating such a massive amount of money.

The final two items were not as impressive. Although the last piece, a jade figurine from the Warring States Period, a genuine antique, should have been the main attraction of the night, it did not manage to beat the exciting bidding war for the diamond necklace.

After the final bid was over, the host invited every successful bidder backstage to pay for and to leave an address for where the items should be delivered.

It was unlikely that these people would walk around with their purchases as there was a banquet afterward. So instead, the things would be delivered to their declared addresses in a few days, after ensuring that the payment had cleared.

Han Qingshan took Jiang Yingyue's hand and led her backstage. He had purchased many items, and these items were all rather magnificent. In total, he had spent nearly two hundred million yuan.

It was an amount of money that Jiang Yingyue had never even imagined before, and she was sure that if she had even a hundred million yuan, she would be able to live her entire life comfortably. However, Han Qingshan had spent nearly two hundred million in a few hours, just like that.

Jiang Yingyue quickly collected herself. This was indeed an eye-opener for her. She had always known that Han Qingshan was rich, but he was rich to this degree? She had never thought that anyone could be this rich, but now she understood that there were people who could afford anything in this world.

Han Qingshan had been somewhat worried that he would scare Jiang Yingyue with all the money that was being thrown around, but after thinking about it, he had nothing to be scared about.

She would get used to the lavish lifestyle eventually. He had no intention of ever letting her go, so he had to make her understand his actual value was not low. He wanted her to be proud of him.

On the way backstage, they encountered Tan Jingyao and Yu Xiulan.

Tan Jingyao's face was pale, and his eyes were listless. He was clearly displeased with the situation he had ended up in.

Seeing this, Jiang Yingyue felt it was quite interesting. He had been so busy trying to pick a bone with Han Qingshan, but he had picked up a stone and dropped it on his own foot.

Jiang Yingyue could not help but narrow her eyes when she looked at him, but she quickly shook her head and returned her gaze to the path in front of her.

Seeing that she was not at all merciful towards her enemies, Han Qingshan's eyes shone with happiness. To handle the business world, one had to be ruthless and shrewd.

As they reached backstage, Han Qingshan took out his card and handed it over to the attendant, who was in charge of receiving the payments.

The card he was showing was a black card. Jiang Yingyue had no idea what this meant, but the attendant was very well aware that this was the most exclusive credit card in the entire world. Money alone was not enough to get one of these cards.

With a respectful gaze, the attendant swiped it and then handed it back with both hands.

Han Qingshan wrote down the address of the condo in order to have the items delivered there, but before they could pack away the necklace, he picked it up.

He then replaced the simple necklace on Jiang Yingyue's neck with the overly magnificent diamond and platinum necklace he had just won, and he put the old necklace into the case, instructing them to deliver it back to the condo instead of the one she was wearing.

Jiang Yingyue felt the heavy necklace pressing on her neck, and she could not help but feel slightly horrified. This was a necklace worth more than a hundred million yuan!

Still, she felt a sweetness rise in her heart, and her entire body turned warm.

She flashed a brilliant smile at Han Qingshan, who was satisfied and led her out of the backstage area, towards the location of the banquet.

On the way, they came across a small corridor that was somewhat dark, and when no one was looking, Han Qingshan dragged Jiang Yingyue into the small corridor.

They went rather far inside, so far that the darkness surrounded them, and no one could see them.

When Jiang Yingyue was about to open her mouth and ask what exactly was going on, Han Qingshan leaned down, and his tongue invaded her mouth, tasting her sweetness and plundering her breath.

All Jiang Yingyue could sense was the scent and taste of Han Qingshan, the overwhelming masculine smell and flavor that robbed her of her breath.

The kiss was filled with urgency and desire.. Han Qingshan had been a gentleman for so long, but now he could no longer hold back, so his teeth were gently nibbling on her lips, as his tongue entwined with her own tongue, not at all willing to let go.
