The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 519 - Chapter 519 0509 Wait a bit longer

Chapter 519: 0509 Wait a bit longer Chapter 519: 0509 Wait a bit longer Next up is a pair of pure gold Double Happiness Dragon and Phoenix Union Locks.

As the details of the Concentric Lock appeared on the big screen, Su Xinyan’s eyes were fixed tightly on it, her hand gripping Gu Heng’s arm tightened slightly.

She and Gu Heng were about to get married, and this pair of Union Locks was undoubtedly the perfect gift.

She desperately wanted to get it!

Gu Heng, sensing her tension, glanced sideways and saw Su Xinyan looking at the item on stage with a shy and expectant face. He smiled indulgently and gently pinched her tender little hand.

The host’s introduction continued, saying that the Union Lock was exquisitely hand-crafted, well-made, delicate, and of extraordinary significance.

It symbolized good fortune and was a great choice to give to elders, lovers, or children.

However, people preferred to associate it with love, especially the Dragon and Phoenix pair.

Legend has it that as long as one is locked by the Concentric Lock, they will never be separated from their lover and will forever be united heart-to-heart.

Su Ran’s eyes were unblinkingly fixed on the stage; behind her seemingly calm and starry eyes, there were twinkling lights.

Fu Qiyuan noticed her distraction and glanced at her. He saw her gazing forward, her eyes locked on the Union Locks on the stage, appearing undisturbed and without desire.

But her sparkling eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation!

Fu Qiyuan turned his head nonchalantly, his gaze settling on the Dragon and Phoenix pair, a faint glimmer passing through his dark eyes, his heart softening.

The starting price was two million, and the auction quickly entered the bidding phase!

The Union Lock was of extraordinary significance, and most of the attendees were young heirs and heiresses of affluent families, so there were many bidders.

The price quickly rose to five million, with still many people calling out their bids.

“Five million, five hundred thousand.”

Gu Heng raised his bid under Su Xinyan’s nervous and hopeful gaze.

A pair of pure gold Union Locks had already reached a sky-high price, yet the competition hadn’t lessened at all.

Love, indeed, is the most expensive thing in this world.

Yet there were still many who would fly into the flame for it.

The bidding continued.

In just a few minutes, the price was raised to eight million.

Su Xinyan was nervous, praying that no one else would bid when someone raised their card.

“Eight million, five hundred thousand.”

After much thought, Gu Heng raised his bid again.

“Ten million.”

In this last part, a small climax was created.

Su Xinyan heaved a sigh of relief.

From a starting price of two million to a winning bid of ten million, the Union Locks were firmly hers.

“Brother Heng, thank you…”

Gu Heng smiled at her tenderly, and Lin Siya and others began to offer their endless compliments.

However, the gaze of everyone in the room instinctively fell on Fu Qiyuan.

As expected, it didn’t take long for people to see him make a move.

Under the tense watch of the crowd, he slowly raised his card, his voice calm yet powerful enough to command the whole room:

“Fifty million.”

Su Xinyan’s smile instantly froze on her face. She glanced over with a gloomy expression.

It was him again!

Who was this man?

Why was he always opposing her?

She shifted her gaze slightly to the left and saw the gradually forming curve at the corner of Su Ran’s lips.

Blatant and irritating!

The Auctioneer, his eyes instinctively landing on Su Ran’s face and then swiftly moving to Fu Qiyuan’s, saw the adoration that was indissoluble in his black eyes. He shuddered, then decided the final hammer with a bang!

What the heck!

It seemed he had stumbled upon an incredible secret!

Chu Ling and Mo Shangjie were on the side, secretly indulging in the excessively unbearable display of affection between the two.

One was enjoying it immensely!

The other was grumbling under his breath!

“Mad, inhumane, heartless, unreasonable…”

Chu Ling disdainfully glanced at someone making a scene, her mood completely opposite and very cheerful.

“I’m so angry; Xinyan’s stuff got snatched away by those shameless people again.”

“Who knows who it’s for? Do they really think she caught someone’s eye?”

“Exactly, she should really weigh her worth!”

Lin Siya and the others were red with rage–if initially it was because Su Xinyan disapproved of Su Ran, now it was out of pure jealousy!

If they can’t feel good about themselves, they certainly don’t like seeing others happy!

Especially since Su Ran was doted on by Fu Qiyuan to such an extent.

Su Xinyan also gave Su Ran a cold glance, venom seeping in her eyes.

At this moment, Lin Siya let out a cold snort, “Some people really go to great lengths to find a sense of presence. Let her put on airs for now; tonight has nothing to do with her, Su Ran. The real drama is still to come!”

Soon, the next item was brought onto the stage, causing a sensation as its image flashed onto the big screen.

The host took the microphone and began a detailed explanation!

“This is the engagement ring of the king and queen of Country Y. It’s a 19th-century style engagement ring. It is named ‘You and Me’ because of the pair of Purple Blue Flame Heart-shaped Gems, each one carat, inlaid in opposite directions on the ring. It represents a promise of lifelong guardianship, as well as the beginning of a lifetime of deep affection. Two hearts imprint on each other, marking the start of a collision and a promise of companionship, with you in me, and me in you–mutual adoration!”

After the introduction of the ring’s origin and significance, the auction began.

And this ring had no reserve price.

Lin Siya’s smile held a deep meaning, while Su Xinyan also looked bashfully expectant.

“Five million.”

“Six million.”

“Seven million.”

“…”

Such items, infused with romantic significance, combined with the titles of the king and queen of Country Y, soared in price.

“Ten million.”

“Twelve million.”

“Fifteen million.”

Just as the price was about to break thirty million, Gu Heng hadn’t made a bid yet.

Curiosity spread among the crowd, leading to inquiries.

“I heard President Gu is looking for a special wedding ring for his fiancee tonight. This ‘You and Me’ is unique and meaningful. Don’t you want to make a bid, President Gu?”

Gu Heng looked at Su Xinyan beside him, who was shyly expectant, and then he smiled:

“Let’s wait a bit longer.”

The audience realized that it was obvious Gu Heng came for this ring. With his calm demeanor, he seemed determined to get it.

Many people were also interested in this ring, having come specifically for it.

One of the wealthy businessmen looked at Gu Heng with a resigned expression, “Seems like there’s no hope tonight!”

With the powerhouse union of the Gu and Su families, it’s no wonder they’re so confident. However, there were not a few individuals with real power present, and the competition was certainly fierce.

Su Ran’s starry eyes narrowed slightly. So, this was the ring that Su Xinyan had her eye on?

She pondered briefly for two seconds, a cunning light flashing in the depths of her eyes.

She would fulfill their ‘mutual adoration.’

Only, she wondered how much this ‘mutual adoration’ was worth in Gu Heng’s heart?

“Thirty million.”

Slowly, she raised her placard, bidding thirty million without stinginess.

As Su Ran’s cool voice fell, the venue went silent for a couple of seconds.

Complex emotions surged in Gu Heng’s heart.

And the bidding continued.

“Thirty-two million.”

“Thirty-four million.”

“Brother Heng…”

Noticing Gu Heng’s hesitation, Su Xinyan called out uneasily.

Gu Heng snapped back to reality, saw the apprehension and nervousness in Su Xinyan’s beautiful eyes, and his wavering heart suddenly became resolute as he raised his placard.

“Forty million.”
