Chapter 243: A Different Kind of Fireworks
Chapter Two Hundred and Forty-Four: A Different Kind of Fireworks （4）
I don’t know how much time has passed. Peng Lele shyly turned her head away, not daring to look at Xia Yang. She thought to herself, how could she be so shameless to say those things? It was utterly embarrassing. A famous marriage expert once said that men don’t like women who are too easily obtained; men prefer those who play hard to get!
Xia Yang was initially confused, then as if realizing something, he glanced at Peng Lele again.
The Master of Ceremonies on stage began to announce the bidding: “I didn’t expect our Young Master Ji’s wedding dress to be so popular. This gentleman’s bid is five million. Is there anyone willing to bid higher than five million?”
Peng Lele looked at the dress on stage with a sense of loss, sighing!
Xia Yang looked at Peng Lele’s profile. Her pitiful appearance was so familiar, like an illusion!
“Five million once, five million twice~~~~~~”
The Master of Ceremonies, holding his hammer, was about to say: “Five million three~~~”
A deep male voice rang out: “Ten million!”
The Master of Ceremonies looked excitedly at the man who had bid. Good heavens, this was the highest item auctioned tonight, even though the wedding dress itself was very valuable!
Everyone turned their gaze to the man who had spoken. He seemed to be a stranger. Who was he?
Xia Yang looked over, smiled inwardly, and raised his hand: “Twenty million!”
There was another gasp. It was as if they were about to lift the roof. Peng Lele covered her mouth in surprise and said to Xia Yang, “Mr. Xia, you~~~~ you~~~~”
The man’s voice sounded again: “Twenty million fifty thousand!”
The Master of Ceremonies’ heart was racing so fast he was about to stop breathing. They were bidding up by fifty thousand each time. What a scene!
Xia Yang glanced at Peng Lele and asked, “Miss Peng, are you sure you like it?”
Peng Lele nodded slightly, adding, “If the price is too high, I might not be able to afford it. You don’t mind, do you~~~~”
Xia Yang finally burst out laughing. He wasn’t actually trying to help Peng Lele sincerely; rather, he felt that this dress belonged to Qing Tian and should be worth a fortune. Twenty million was nothing.
Xia Yang and the man went head-to-head: “Fifty million!”
Grandfather Ji chuckled and said, “Yang Yang, you’re bidding too high. Lele really can’t afford it!”
Xia Yang just smiled coldly, not answering!
Instead, Peng Lele joked, “Grandfather Ji, if I can’t afford it, I’ll just have to pledge myself to Mr. Xia!”
Grandfather Ji laughed even harder, unable to close his mouth: “Lele, Grandpa supports you!”
Xia Yang remained expressionless. Peng Lele secretly observed Xia Yang’s emotions and found that he had been calm from beginning to end. She couldn’t help but feel a little sad!
However, who was that man bidding against Xia Yang? She had never seen him before.
The Master of Ceremonies excitedly raised his hammer and shouted: “Fifty million once, fifty million twice. Sir, do you wish to bid again?”
The man shook his head. The Master of Ceremonies brought down his hammer to seal the deal: “Fifty million three times. This priceless wedding dress now belongs to this Young Master Xia!”
Peng Lele covered her mouth and said gratefully, “I can’t believe you actually bought it. Although it’s a bit~~~~ but thank you, Mr. Xia. Would you be free to have lunch tomorrow as a thank you?”
Xia Yang nodded slightly: “Miss Peng, you’re too kind. It’s better for a man to treat.”
Peng Lele looked at Xia Yang and smiled happily. She really was in the right place at the right time!
The man who had been bidding against Xia Yang walked up to Xia Yang and made a gesture: “Big Brother, I’ll let you have this one!”
Xia Yang stood up and smiled: “Huzi, long time no see!”
Everyone present was stunned. Were these two old acquaintances, close friends?
