Chapter 269 - As ex-husband and ex-wife

In the sixteenth century, the longest-serving monarch of Europe, the Sun King, personally created the gift of love to his first love.

An eighteen-millimetre white gold ring with a five-carat pear-shaped blue diamond, named 'Nochibel'. This ring had been lost since the war and was hard to find even after many collectors had searched for it. It was a rare treasure that was priceless in the market.

It was said that this ring also had a beautiful meaning and a widespread story, representing the bitter first love. After many years of washing and polishing, it would finally usher in a happy ending.

The host's introduction and the ring in the girl's hand were enough to move most of the women's hearts.

All the women in this circle wore clothes of luxury. Diamonds were something that all women yearned for. Even if they had other women, they wanted to have one more.

Han Cai Ling was no exception.

However, this mysterious storage ring was something she had yearned for a long time. She had investigated into it when she was still in university, but not only was she unable to find it, even if she could, the Han's would not be able to afford it.

The present was different from the past.

She looked at the man with a face full of veins, and the word 'desire' was written all over her charming face. Her small white hand also lightly shook his arm. "Chenxi!"

Her charming voice was so gentle that it could melt the heart of anyone who heard it.

Li Chenxi lowered his eyes and looked at her, "You want it?"

Han Cai Ling could not wait and nodded her head.

On the other hand, Pei Shaoling was also looking at Shu Yao with interest, and asked something similar, "Do you like it? Let me help you take the photos! "

Shu Yao did not even glance at the storage ring, she only chuckled and shook her head, "Forget it, there is no need to spend so much!"

"For you, it's worth it!" Pei Shaoling had already made up his mind.

But Shu Yao insisted, "There's really no need, I don't like these things, what's more."

Pei Shaoling his lips, "Shu Yao is the one who knows how to be considerate!"

The two of them chatted with each other enthusiastically, while Li Chenxi silently leaned on the side, listening to their conversation with an indifferent face.

As soon as the auction officially started, there were people calling out prices everywhere. The price instantly exceeded ten million, which was quite unexpected.

Han Cai Ling looked at the commotion and was a little anxious. She had always liked this diamond ring, so how could she not want to take it for herself?

Pei Shaoling intentionally raised the bid by over a hundred million and put down the sign. He looked at the woman beside him and said, "I think this ring is very suitable for you."

Shu Yao continued to smile but did not say a word.

She did not like this kind of thing. Moreover, this diamond ring was …

Li Chenxi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up. His low, mellow voice was filled with magnetism, as he said, "If you like it, then go ahead and bid."

Then he raised his own.

Pei Shaoling followed him to bid a few times, and still ended up getting the diamond ring for a whopping 500 million.

Li Chenxi carried her into his arms, and a slight gentleness appeared on his resolute face, "If you wear this, it will definitely be very beautiful."

"You only know how to coax me!" Han Cai Ling naturally leaned on his shoulder.

The man smirked. "I'm just speaking the truth."

The words he said were from the person in his embrace, but out of the corner of his eyes, he was looking at the woman sitting beside him.

The slightest detail caused Han Cai Ling's heart to instantly thump!

Pei Shaling was slightly disappointed as he turned to look at Shu Yao, "My apologies, I couldn't win the bid. If you like the next one, I will bid for it and gift it to you!"

"Like I said, I don't like these things. They're too flashy and don't suit me." Shu Yao said indifferently, her beautiful face did not decrease in the slightest.

However, Pei Shaoling replied, "I don't like flashy things, but they have a unique charm and are even more alluring. No matter what you look like, I like it all!"

As the words of love entered his ears, Li Chenxi sat quietly at the side, slightly retracting his gaze, his face which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, gradually becoming clouded. He would occasionally raise his head to look at the stage, and casually pick up a wine cup on the table with a casual action, casually fiddling with it with his slender jade hands.

However, for some unknown reason, the cup suddenly shattered with a "ka" sound!

The dark red liquid instantly spread across his palm. Han Cai Ling was stunned and immediately called for the waiter to take care of it.

"Mr. Li, how are you?" The waiter checked his wounds as he cleaned up the broken cups.

However, Li Chenxi did not seem to care, and only said, "The cup is not strong."

"Since you're so careless, let me help you bandage it!" Han Cai Ling quickly took out a tissue to help him stop the bleeding.

With such a small accident, it attracted a lot of people's attention, and it became a little noisy here, causing Shu Yao to stand up in time. She went to the washroom, and left the hall.

She didn't like this kind of noisy environment, but since she had a mission, she couldn't not come.

But luckily, her mission was completed just now. She would have to find a reason to leave later on, and things would be much easier.

In the corridor, he met Li Chenxi who had just came out of the bathroom.

The wound on his hand was not treated, it was just that he had used cold water to wash it off. Some drops of water were still dripping down. It seemed that he had not treated it well.

"You want a boyfriend?"

The deep voice was alluring and exceptionally pleasant to listen to.

Shu Yao was slightly startled, she laughed, then calmly pushed his hand away, raising her head to meet his gaze, "Why do you ask?"

"You already showed it." Li Chenxi's gaze was sinister and his face was reflected in his tiny black eyes.

Shu Yao lowered her eyes slightly, and brushed away the hair beside her ear, "Why did President Li ask 'yes' without asking me if I have a boyfriend?"

Li Chenxi's beautiful eyes shrunk, "Oh, then do you have a boyfriend?"

"I am very curious, why is President Li asking me about this?" she asked again.

He smiled. He hadn't expected that after a few years of parting with this woman, not only had she recovered her voice, but she had become very interesting.

"As an ex-husband, you must be very curious!"

"Former husband." Shu Yao repeated these two words, it was as if in the past few years, no one had mentioned this word in front of her, and it was instead a little novel, "Then as your ex-wife, I do not want to reveal my own private life too much, please forgive me."

"…"

Zhang Chi was adept and adept at maneuvering.

[I truly don't dare to imagine what this woman must have experienced in the past few years to actually talk to me like that. She no longer has the same feeling like before …]

"I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first. But President Li, take care of my wounds to prevent me from getting infected." Shu Yao smiled and avoided him.

Li Chenxi lowered his head to look at the wound on his hand, the light in his eyes sinking.

Returning to the hall, the host on stage was busy revealing the identity of the patron of the 'Notch Bell' diamond ring, while most of the gazes in the arena fell onto Shu Yao's body along with the host's words.

In an instant, she seemed to have become the center of attention.

It went without saying how astonished everyone was.

Shu Yao's gaze circled the arena once, and faintly felt a trace of subtlety, as if a great battle was approaching. Looking at Han Cai Ling who was in the crowd, she instead felt that it was interesting.

Unexpectedly, they had just come back and the battle was about to begin.
