Be a Good Boy and Marry Me-Chapter 457 - 331: Her Master is Not Dead_3

Chapter 457: Chapter 331: Her Master is Not Dead_3

Murong Si, oh Murong Si, if you keep on bidding, there will be trouble between us!

“22 million!”

Murong Si raised the bid again.

Actually, the one who had raised the bid to this point was Gu Li. He had hesitated over whether to fight with her for it; after all, the oil painting he wanted to buy was intended as a gift for Gu Li.

But on second thought, Gu Li buying it or him gifting it were two completely different things.

So, he insisted on bidding for and gifting the painting himself, to show Little Pear just how much he cared for her.

If Gu Li knew Murong Si’s intentions, she would be so angry she’d spit blood.

No, she was already on the verge of doing so.

22 million?

Did he think her money came from the wind?

Ah, how she wanted to rush over and hit him.

“22.1 million!”

Gu Li gritted her teeth and reluctantly added another 100,000.

She had invested all her money, leaving little cash flow, and 22.1 million was close to maxing her out.

Murong Si, can you not be so cruel?

Keep this up, and I’m going to cut ties with you.

May the Buddha bless, may Murong Si bit his tongue and be unable to speak anymore!

May the Buddha bless, may Murong Si break his arm and be unable to raise his hand anymore!

May the Buddha bless, may Murong Si—

“25 million!”

Murong Si raised his bid once again.

Gu Susu fainted, then kindly advised him, “Brother Si, don’t you have better ways to spend your money? 25 million for a painting by Gu Li’s master? I have another painting in my room. I can just give it to you.”

Though she wasn’t spending her own money, she couldn’t help but feel the pinch.

Murong Si smirked coldly, but his eyes lacked humour: “No need!”

“You—”

Faced with such cold rejection, Gu Susu’s pretty face turned red and she clenched her fists.

Humph, forget about it. Even if you go bankrupt, it’s none of my business.

The auctioneer was utterly astonished that such an ordinary oil painting had skyrocketed to 25 million, he was speechless for quite some time.

If the auction assistant hadn’t gently reminded him, he probably would have remained petrified.

“My apologies, I was just taken aback.”

The auctioneer said with a smile. Then, as per usual, he asked, “The lady with the number 29, do you want to raise the bid again?”

“I…”

Gu Li was incredibly torn.

She couldn’t afford to bid higher…

Should she ask Brother Ting to lend her money?

But 25 million was really too much.

Perhaps she should just give up and let Murong Si have it?

As long as her master was safe, that was all that mattered.

Gu Li consoled herself in this way.

Just as she had swallowed her saliva and was about to announce her withdrawal, Mo Shiting grabbed the bidding card from her, “50 million!”

The man’s voice was sonorous and powerful; the decisiveness in his tone created a wave of silence in the audience.

It took a few seconds before anyone could comprehend what had happened.

50 million?

A gasp sounded throughout the room.

He was so lavish, spending 50 million just to make a woman smile!

The price had doubled from just before, the gentleman with the number 12 probably wouldn’t bid higher, right?

Gu Susu also believed Murong Si wouldn’t bid any higher; he had already spent 19 million earlier.

But his opponent was Mo Shiting, how could Murong Si swallow this defeat?

Even if it meant risking bankruptcy, he had to outbid Mo Shiting!

With this in mind, Murong Si’s eyes darkened and he bid again, “55 million.”

“100 million!”

“Brother Ting, you’ve gone insane!”

Gu Li quickly grabbed the bidding card from Mo Shiting saying to the auctioneer, “Sorry, he misspoke earlier. We’re giving up and we’re not bidding anymore.”

“This…”

The auctioneer scratched his head and said uncomfortably: “I’m sorry, Miss, once a bid is placed in this auction, it can’t be taken back. Your partner there has just raised his bidding card.”

Gu Li: “… Alright, understand. Thanks.”

Knowing that she can’t break the rules, Gu Li had to sit down.

Mo Shiting reached out to hold her hand, but she slapped it away, “Wasteful man, don’t talk to me, don’t even think about sleeping with me tonight.”

Mo Shiting: “…”

Gu Li truly didn’t wish to spend such a ridiculous amount money, but in the end, reconciled with it.

People should always be accountable for their actions, wasn’t it so?

“100 million and one!”

Murong Si was still stubborn, adding just one coin to the bid.

The entire audience: “…”

Gu Susu: “???” Why was he so adamant? Already 100 million and he still wouldn’t give up?

Gu Li: “!!!” Had Murong Si gone mad or was he deeply in love with her master? It was too unbelievable.

“Brother Ting, no more bidding!”

“Okay.”

Mo Shiting curled his lips in a smile. It seemed like he would be a lucky man sleeping beside his wife tonight.

…

As expected, the painting “The Girl Sitting by the Lake” by Chuan Liu was acquired by Murong Si for 100 million and one – an astronomical price.

The auction continued, but Mo Shiting and Gu Li were no longer interested and left quietly.

The two walked hand in hand to the parking lot.

Just as Mo Shiting was about to open the car door, he heard a voice from behind, “Little Pear, wait for me.”

He just wouldn’t leave her alone!
