Han Qiansan who was in the crowd clenched his fists.

Though he and Xiao Yingxia were married for a period of three years, she never once let him hold her hand.

But now, she had taken the initiative to kiss a stranger in public.

If he wasn't mistaken, that must be Xiao Yingxia's first kiss!

Han Qiansan felt like he was going insane!

Surprisingly, he caught Li Mubai gazing at him with scorn.

"Young Master Li, what are you staring at...?"

Xiao Yingxia was too embarrassed at the moment.

However, noticing Li Mubai's gaze that wasn't on her, she couldn't help but follow his gaze and saw a strange-looking man wearing a mask.

"Forget it..."

Li Mubai withdrew his gaze, picked up a tissue paper, and began to wipe the corner of Xiao Yingxia's mouth.

Han Qiansan once again was overwhelmed with frustration.

[Ding! Host's villainous behavior has enraged Han Qiansan, rewarding 1000 villain points!]

Fortunately, the charity auction had officially commenced at the moment.

A host dressed in a tuxedo walked onto the stage. He then spoke with a smile, "Good evening to all gentlemen and ladies here..."

I am here to welcome each one of you who squeezed time from their busy schedules to attend this charity auction held this evening by Madam Yan, the owner of Ruyi Hotel..."

On behalf of Madam Yan, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to each one of you here..."

..."

Soon, with the opening speech from the host, the charity auction had officially begun.

Most of the items that were put to auction were paintings, calligraphies, antiques, and so on ranging from a few hundred thousand to a few million.

As the items that were put to auction weren't too expensive for many of the Jinghai's celebrities that had attended, it was enough for them to showcase their 'charitable' hearts.

However, for Li Mubai, it couldn't be less boring.

After all, as a villain, how could Li Mubai be interested in such charitable things?

Li Mubai recalled that the God-Slaying Destructive Sword would show up at the end of the auction.

Just when Li Mubai seemed uninterested, a woman in the crowd dressed in cheongsam pushed a cart covered with a red cloth onto the stage.

Under the red cloth were a pair of shoes - A pair of women's high-heeled shoes.

They were silver-white in color and had an elegant design with thin and long high-heels and countless dazzling crystals decorated on its surface...

Simultaneously, a dazzling high-definition (HD) picture of this pair of high-heeled shoes also showed up on the LCD screen above the stage.

Everyone's eyes seemed to have been glued to the pair of high-heeled shoes for a while.

They were simply gorgeous.

They were mystical, noble, and elegant with a sexy temperament...

If those pair of high-heeled shoes were worn by women, one need not guess how gorgeous it'd look on them!

While many women's eyes lit upon seeing the shoes, the men were stunned and excited.

Suppose women get to try those high-heeled shoes for once, they would never want to take off them...

"Ahem..."

At this moment, the auctioneer spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, this pair of crystal high-heeled shoes of size 37 named 'Crystal Love' was personally designed and prepared by the famous designer Miss Nika herself... This is Miss Nika's most successful work till far..."

It was also put on display many times worldwide. Previously Miss Nika didn't even trade them when a wealthy man offered her a whopping price of 10 million dollars..."

However, Miss Nika chose to give away this pair of 'Crystal Love' for the charity auction tonight..."

There's only one such pair of 'Crystal Love' in the world. One can only come across such things by pure chance... In the end, it depends on who's fated to get their hands on it..."

Well, without further ado, let's begin the bidding. The starting price of this item is 50 million yuan. Each subsequent bid increase mustn't be less than 100,000 yuan..."

Hiss.

As it was a charity auction, the only items that were auctioned till now were a few million calligraphies and paintings.

But now with the starting price of this pair of high-heeled shoes at fifty million yuan, despite many Jinghai's celebrities being present, none took the initiative to bid.

"What's your shoe size?"

Li Mubai turned to look at Xiao Yingxia at this moment and asked.

"...37." Xiao Yingxia subconsciously replied but it didn't long for her to realize why Li Mubai asked her that.

"I'll buy you this pair of shoes..." Li Mubai said with a gentle smile.

But Xiao Yingxia hurriedly shook her head and said, "I don't need this pair of shoes... They're too expensive..."

The price of fifty million yuan was too expensive for her.

With her current salary at Xiao family company, even if she works for a lifetime, she wouldn't be able to afford those shoes.

The price of fifty million yuan was just the starting price.

So, even if she was deep down excited seeing the pair of high-heeled shoes just like any other woman, she didn't dare wish to have them as she simply couldn't even afford them!

"Then I'll just give them to you as a present... I want to see you wear them..." Li Mubai smiled faintly.

His tone was determined seemingly not taking no for an answer.

He then picked up the pos machine on the table and entered a price...
