Chapter 238: Chapter 235: Whatever My Wife Likes, We Buy

This was a very exquisite crown, intricately crafted and bedecked with diamonds.

Under the light, the crown sparkled incomparably, with the most eye-catching feature being the pale pink diamond in the center, as big as half a thumb, both dreamy and magnificent.

The staff boasted extravagantly and mentioned that the crown once belonged to a princess from abroad. After the princess had passed away, a domestic tycoon bought it.

However, the tycoon’s fortunes declined and he eventually sold the crown.

In Qin Zhao’s eyes, the crown lacked that dazzling brilliance. She could see a faint black mist swirling around it, which was yin energy!

Beneath the cover of the black mist, on the large pale pink diamond, a pair of eerie eyes seemed to be staring at everyone present.

A few seconds later, the eerie eyes disappeared, and the crown looked ordinary again.

Chu Yan noticed her staring intently at the crown and raised his bidding paddle.

"The gentleman has bid nine million, does anyone else want to raise the price?"

Subsequently, many people began to bid higher.

Some tycoons noticed that the beauties were fixated on the gorgeous crown, wanting to buy it to win a smile from the ladies.

Each time someone raised the bid, Chu Yan calmly continued to bid.

Eventually, the price of the crown soared from nine million to twenty million!

All eyes converged on Chu Yan and Qin Zhao, and from a distance, Qin Kejing watched, her jealousy growing intense, still unable to comprehend where Qin Zhao had found such a bargain of a husband!

"The price has doubled, you still want it?"

Qin Zhao frowned slightly, looking at Chu Yan beside her, thinking he was keen on the crown.

"It’s for you, the cost doesn’t matter."

The ladies nearby who heard their conversation all looked at Qin Zhao with envy.

They too wished to find a sugar daddy who was not only wealthy but also had looks and charisma far surpassing a celebrity! Let alone a sugar daddy, with Chu Yan’s looks, they would be willing to pay him instead!

Qin Zhao felt everyone’s eyes on her, mostly filled with envy and jealousy.

There was also a small portion that was curious, probably wondering what kind of relationship she had with Chu Yan.

She couldn’t help but cough lightly, "There’s no need to waste money on this."

After all, in her opinion, the crown wasn’t worth the price and was furthermore a problematic and sinister item.

Before Chu Yan could respond, the host on stage suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

"The gentleman has bid twenty-two million, does anyone else want to raise?"

Chu Yan and Qin Zhao followed the host’s gaze and saw Shen Xihhe raising his paddle.

Shen Xihhe smiled at Chu Yan, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "My fiancée also really likes this crown. Mr. Chu, you wouldn’t mind letting us have it?"

He harbored a strong hostility towards Chu Yan, perhaps because of Qin Zhao, or maybe due to the Lu Family.

Shen Xihhe himself wasn’t sure why, he only knew that tonight, he did not want Chu Yan to buy the crown to please Qin Zhao.

Qin Kejing watched Shen Xihhe in disbelief, not expecting him to buy the crown for her.

She felt dizzy as if a pie had fallen from the sky, completely overwhelmed by the sudden pleasant surprise.

Chu Yan frowned, annoyed with Shen Xihhe.

This guy had once received a love letter from Qin Zhao and had been Qin Zhao’s crush for a long time!

This was a thorn in his heart!

A cold gleam flashed across his aloof phoenix eyes. As Chu Yan was about to continue bidding, Qin Zhao quickly grabbed his hand and whispered beside him, "Don’t buy it, the crown has issues."

Even though Chu Yan recalled Qin Zhao mentioning the jewelry was bizarre earlier, the idea of conceding the item to Shen Xihhe irritated him, and he didn’t want Shen Xihhe to have the upper hand.

After a moment of thought, Chu Yan said to Shen Xihe, "Since Mr. Shen’s fiancée likes it, I’ll let you have it. I wanted to buy it for my wife, but unfortunately, she’s not interested in it."

His tone was somewhat cold, but his eyes softened a lot when he mentioned his wife.

After speaking, he reached out and wrapped his arm around Qin Zhao’s slender waist, pulling her into his embrace and whispering in her ear, "Which one do you like? I’ll buy it for you."

They were so close that others couldn’t hear what they were saying.

Shen Xihe, seeing the two so intimate, had an increasingly cold look in his eyes, and his heart was in turmoil.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Zhao was not quite comfortable being so close to Chu Yan.

She couldn’t help wanting to push Chu Yan away, but he whispered softly, "If you dare push me away, I’ll make sure today, even if I need to use drugs, to have you. You know what the consequences would be."

"How dare you!"

Qin Zhao’s face was extremely unsightly.

"Don’t think that just because I’ve indulged you a few times, you can take advantage of me!"

Chu Yan looked down at her, speaking slowly, "Is that so? Last time it was more than just a little."

"???" Qin Zhao’s expression froze on her face, feeling that his words had a deeper meaning, her face burning hot and her ears turning red.

"Chu Yan!" she almost wanted to bite him to death, "Shut up!"

The two whispered intimately, their interactions appearing flirtatious to others.

Chu Yan said something that made Qin Zhao blush.

The scene was far more effective than buying a crown to appease someone.

Seeing them so wrapped up in each other, Shen Xihe felt even more stifled. He had to admit, the current Qin Zhao was completely different from her past self and had a different emotional impact on him.

He went to pay for the crown he had won at the auction, then left the gala. He didn’t even take the crown with him, sending a message to Qin Kejing to collect it herself.

Shortly after Shen Xihe left, Qin Zhao angrily shook off Chu Yan.

Though they had arrived at the gala together, they did not leave together—Qin Zhao disappeared.

She did something spiteful by becoming the third wheel to Qin Yu and Su Xiaotong, having Qin Yu drop her off at home, specifically to avoid going home with Chu Yan.

Chu Yan also bought an emerald necklace, which was the last item to be auctioned and was priced higher than the crown, intending it for Qin Zhao. But when he turned around, his wife had disappeared.

Qin Kejing received the crown and had it placed on her head right there.

She had wanted to show off to Qin Zhao, boasting about the crown, which Shen Xihe had bought for 22 million. Chu Yan suddenly didn’t raise his bid, probably because he couldn’t outbid their Xihe’s financial power.

Thinking this made Qin Kejing feel triumphant.

Since childhood, she had always outshone Qin Zhao, so she did not want Qin Zhao to find a husband more outstanding than Shen Xihe and overshadow her.

Unfortunately, not finding Qin Zhao, Qin Kejing bragged to her friends for a long time.

Feng Aiyuan watched Qin Kejing’s crown with envy in her eyes.

But she couldn’t shake off a feeling—the more she looked at the crown, the eerier it seemed. It lacked the initial bright, dazzling effect.

Feng Aiyuan was taken aback for a moment, and on impulse, said, "Jingjing, could you let me see your crown?"

"No way, it’s very tricky to remove. I’m afraid I won’t be able to put it back on by myself."

Qin Kejing refused her, disdain apparent in her eyes.

Feng Aiyuan, that nouveau riche country bumpkin, how could she be worthy of touching the crown Xihe had gifted?

The gala soon ended.

With Shen Xihe gone early, there was no one to take Qin Kejing home.

She was about to ask her family’s driver to pick her up, but Feng Aiyuan offered to take her home, mentioning that her older brother had new investment plans for the Qin Family, which she was to convey to Qin Kejing’s father.

Thus, Qin Kejing rode home in Feng Aiyuan’s car but then disappeared for several days.
