Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Value of Liking is Priceless!

After reading Zhu Qianying’s text message, full of disdain, Yan Han indeed fell silent for a while.

Honestly, though he didn’t want to admit it, he had to concede that he was a complete country bumpkin!

For instance, that so-called gemstone necklace worn by some European noble in the nineteenth century, to him, those gems were no different from plastic beads, yet the starting bid for that necklace was five million!

Of course, five million was a small sum for him. So, even though he didn’t appreciate it and didn’t understand its value, when he saw the glow in Zhu Qianying’s eyes, he immediately leaned in and asked her:

"Do you like it?"

As he expected, Zhu Qianying, the excited girl, nodded her head vigorously.

So, he generously suggested, "If you like it, bid for it!"

His hand was already halfway up when Zhu Qianying suddenly turned around and looked at him as if he was a strange creature!

In the end, that gemstone necklace was sold for fifteen million.

Of course, the one who got it was not Young Master Yan.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to bid, but his wife didn’t permit it. He was henpecked, thus, kept his hand dutifully still!

He had never been interested in these antiquities and jewels and didn’t understand them at all.

He was never a man who would force himself to study something he didn’t like just to fit in.

If he likes something, he likes it; if he doesn’t, he doesn’t. If he understands something, he does; if not, so be it. Why pretend?

In Young Master Yan’s eyes, once you hold such a high status, why would you live as cautiously as the lower folks, forcing yourself to pretend to like what you clearly don’t, learning and studying things you’re not interested in, just for a false compliment from others? How tiresome that would be!

However, things that he ordinarily didn’t care about were making Yan Han feel as if he was sitting on pins and needles this time.

If someone else called him ignorant or a country bumpkin, he would surely retort in their face!

But the person beside him was his own wife, a jewelry designer. However, being her husband, he didn’t possess even basic knowledge of jewelry!

This realization made him feel as if he and Zhu Qianying belong to two different worlds,

This feeling unsettled him and instilled fear in him!

For nearly half of Yan Han’s life, if you exclude the confusion and ignorance of his childhood, not many things had made him feel fearful after reaching adulthood.

Yet this sudden and inexplicable fear and insecurity overwhelmed him, leaving him clueless.

He was always a very confident man.

He possessed a clever mind, handsome looks, unrivaled abilities, immeasurable wealth, and a distinguished family background.

All these traits combined made him a man with top-tier qualities.

But all this, when put in front of Zhu Qianying, seemed like nothing!

Everything he was proud of, bundled together and placed in front of Zhu Qianying, was worth even less than that necklace that, to him, was just strung with plastic beads!

If you like it, it’s priceless!

If you don’t like it, there’s a price!

These two sentences suddenly flashed in Yan Han’s mind.

Therefore, in Zhu Qianying’s eyes, all the items on the stage had become priceless treasures because she liked them. Even just looking at them filled her heart with joy.

While he, because of his lack of appreciation, was seen as a mere commodity, which could be bought and sold in a supermarket, as long as one had the money.

This sort of buying was merely out of need and had nothing to do with enjoyment.

The more Yan Han thought about it, the colder he felt, the more depressed he became.

Only when he noticed a familiar brocade box on display, did he snap out of his despair and self-loathing.

"Ying’er, that brocade box, why does it look so similar to the one you gave to my mom?"

Yan Han had already forgotten about hiding his ignorance because he saw an even stronger excitement in Zhu Qianying’s eyes compared to before.

Zhu Qianying turned her head incredulously to look at him, "You remember that box?"

The high pitch of her voice betrayed her inner surprise and delight.

Yan Han nodded, "Of course, I remember! My mom treasures that brocade box. She takes it out to air from time to time, and it looks just like this one on the stage. They appear to be from the same collection.".

Zhu Qianying then found a kindred spirit in Yan Han, she began to chatter quickly, "You’re right, both of these brocade boxes are from the same embroiderers, whose style is unique and distinct. Her embroidered boxes are rare; only two are known to exist. One is the Peony Box I gave to your mother, and the other is this Orchid Box!"

Yan Han didn’t understand embroidery, but hearing Zhu Qianying’s explanation and seeing the enlarged image of that box on the big screen, he sensed that this brocade box was indeed not bad.

So, when he heard the MC yell, "One million, the first call, one million, the second call...", he instantly raised his badge.

"One million and one hundred thousand, first call..."

"One million and two hundred thousand, first call..."

Yan Han was determined; no matter the cost of the box, he would buy it today.

But it seemed like the man at the next table was trying to compete with him. The two of them were raising the price in increments of a hundred thousand. When Yan Han raised the price to 1.8 million, Zhu Qianying couldn’t help but tug at his arm and whispered to him in a low voice.

"Young Master Yan, have you gone mad? The maximum value of that box is 1.5 million!"

In other words, the current 1.8 million had already exceeded the market value of the box.

However, Yan Han just smiled at her, "If you like it, it’s priceless, right?"

Zhu Qianying was stunned, she had thought that he didn’t understand!

But it turned out, he understood everything!

In the end, Young Master Yan bought that brocade box at a price of two million eight hundred thousand.

When he handed over the brocade box on a silver platter brought by the hostess, Zhu Qianying was stunned!

"Ying’er, this is for you!"

Young Master Yan very carefully offered the brocade box with both hands. Not because the 2.8 million was too precious, but because Zhu Qianying liked it, which made it particularly valuable!

Zhu Qianying stood still, looking at Yan Han in disbelief.

She always thought that Young Master Yan had been bidding so fiercely because his mother liked this brocade box, so he spared no cost, even paying over a million more than the market price to buy it.

But she had not expected that he’d actually bought it for her?

"Young Master Yan, this..."

Truth be told, she did really like this box. But she couldn’t accept such an expensive gift!

Yan Han saw the complex emotions of like and refusal in her eyes and held the box toward her again, then leaned into her ear.

"Two million eight hundred thousand, it can be deducted from baby boy’s inheritance of a hundred million!"
