Villain Seized the Assassin Heroine at the Start!

Chapter 52

"50 million yuan, VIP No. 1 bids 50 million yuan!"

Following Li Mubai's bid, a series of numbers showed up on the LCD screen, and the auctioneer yelled.

Undoubtedly, Li Mubai was the VIP No. 1.

Seeing that it was Li Mubai that bid, the wealthy celebrities who were eager to buy the pair of high-heeled shoes were immediately breathless.

None of them had the guts to snatch something away from Young Master Li.

"50 million yuan once!"

"50 million yuan twice!"

Even the auctioneer was aware of this fact.

Just when he was about to declare the winner of the bid, another series of numbers showed up on the LCD screen.

"60 million yuan, VIP No. 136 bids 60 million yuan!"

The auctioneer was startled as he didn't expect anyone to have the guts to bid against Li Mubai in this situation.

Many wealthy celebrities, at the scene, were also stunned.

One after another, everyone shifted their gazes to the seat with VIP No. 136 and to their surprise, saw a strange-looking man wearing a mask.

At once, they couldn't help themselves from sneering at him.

The masked man was just pretending to be mysterious. He even had the guts to snatch something from Young Master Li.

Even if Young Master Li was a broad-minded person and wouldn't really be offended by that, for people that wanted to flatter Young Master Li, such an opportunity was hard to come by.

This masked man really asked for trouble...

It was evident that Han Qiansan was the one that bid against Li Mubai.

He had actually attended the charity auction tonight to get the pair of 'Crystal Love' high-heeled shoes for Xiao Yingxia just because he had once seen her staring at the same pair of shoe commercials in fascination on the TV.

Surprisingly, he came to know that the same pair of high-heeled shoes would show up in the charity auction tonight.

So, he wanted to win the bid and present them to Xiao Yingxia as a mystery gift.

He was sure that it would make her feel overjoyed.

However, what he hadn't expected was Xiao Yingxia to attend the auction. And he had also witnessed her kissing a stranger...

Han Qiansan felt gloomy.

Despite everything that happened, Han Qiansan still wanted to bid for the high-heeled shoes and give them to Xiao Yingxia as a present.

He had never seen Xiao Yingxia smile.

He wanted to see her smile for once...

However, at this moment, another series of numbers showed up on the LCD screen above the stage.

The auctioneer's breathing became erratic and he yelled, "100 million yuan, VIP No.1 bids 100 million yuan!"

The bid was now raised from 60 million yuan to 100 million yuan which could make anyone amazed at how fast the bid was gone up.

Everyone seemed to be impressed with Li Mubai.

Xiao Yingxia had her mouth wide open.

Her heart began to pound harder and harder.

50 million yuan was already a whopping price for her.

As for 100 million yuan, it was completely out of her scope.

As she was from the Xiao family, it wasn't uncommon for her to see such large sums of money.

However, she would've never dreamt to witness a day where someone would want to spend such an amount of money on her.

Besides, the 100 million yuan was being spent to buy her a pair of high-heeled shoes.

"Young Master Li... There's no need to raise your bid again... I-I don't want it... " Xiao Yingxia said and shook her head blushing.

Li Mubai shot her an amused look and said, "I want to see you wear it. Let alone 100 million yuan, even if I have to bid a billion yuan, it's still worth it..."

One billion yuan...

Xiao Yingxia didn't even dare to think about it.

Hearing Li Mubai's domineering words that seemed to her like a confession, her heart became chaotic...

...

...

Han Qiansan, on the other hand, clenched his teeth.

In order to bid for the pair of high-heeled shoes, he had arranged 90 million yuan in cash.

To bid for a pair of high-heeled shoes, 90 million yuan would've been more than sufficient!

However, how could he have expected Li Mubai to bid 100 million yuan?

Although he could still arrange some more cash, he was already running out of time.

At the cost of succeeding, he would be blowing his own cover that he had painstakingly concealed for three long years.

His great plans could be ruined by just a touch of impatience if he chose to unveil his identity now.

After contemplating for a while, Han Qiansan had chosen to give up at the end.

"100 million yuan once!"

"100 million yuan twice!"

"100 million yuan thrice!"

"Congratulations VIP No. 1 for winning the bid for the pair of 'Crystal Love' high-heeled shoes!"

...

Soon after the auctioneer declared the winner of the bid, the hotel staff brought the pair of silver-white high-heeled shoes before Li Mubai and Xiao Yingxia.

"Young Master Li, from now on this belongs to you..."

After placing the pair of high-heeled shoes worth 100 million yuan on the table before Li Mubai, the staff members also took out a delicate case and opened it.

A luxurious and dazzling set of jewelry such as a sapphire necklace, a pair of earrings, a bracelet, and a ring were inside the case...

"Miss Yan, our boss, wanted us to deliver this 'Goddess Heart' set to wish Young Master Li and Young Master Li's girlfriend a long life and to share an eternal bond..." One of the staff members said respectfully to Li Mubai and Xiao Yingxia.

Swish...

Hearing the staff member regard her as Li Mubai's girlfriend and telling them to share an eternal bond and such, Xiao Yingxia blushed crimson.

However, she didn't choose to explain either.

Li Mubai felt it rather interesting.

Xiao Yingxia was already someone's 'wife' after all...

"Put on this jewelry and high-heels, I want to see you in them..." Li Mubai said with a smile.

"Mmm..." Xiao Yingxia responded in agreement and followed the staff to the changing room...
