Chapter 998: That’s 6 Million!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Shi Xi did not pay much attention to the price of the necklace as she listened to it being raised.

What she cared about was how Xie Yunzhou had arranged it.

Where should they meet?

The price on the stage had already reached 4 million, and the number of people bidding gradually decreased.

“6 million.” Ryan immediately raised the bid by 2 million.

Seeing this, the others who wanted to fight also withdrew their hands.

That was the First Prince.

The hammer fell, and the necklace was won by Ryan.

“The First Prince spent so much money to buy this sapphire necklace. Is it for the Princess Consort?” Russell had already changed into a new set of formal attire and returned to the banquet to continue looking for trouble.

Everyone’s eyes instantly fell on Ryan.

Some of them saw Shi Xi return to the banquet and swept their gazes between the two of them.

Shi Xi’s eyes were smiling as she looked at Ryan, wanting to hear what he had to say.

That was the necklace that Bonita had donated. 𝗈𝑣𝓵xt.𝔠𝗈𝓂

From Bonita’s reluctant look when she donated it, Shi Xi knew that there must be a story behind this necklace.

“I’m just making a small contribution to the charity of the royal family.” Ryan’s expression was indifferent, as if he had really done something insignificant.

He only donated 6 million.

“I remember that this necklace was a gift from the First Prince to Bonita during her coming-of-age ceremony, right?” The short-haired woman echoed and threw Bonita into the water. She pretended to be surprised and said, “Bonita, you actually donated the coming-of-age ceremony that the First Prince gave you?”

The others were surprised.

There was actually such a thing?

Bonita’s face turned red from embarrassment as she stammered, “I, I… I just… I…”

She couldn’t say a complete sentence.

The Queen had already arrived, and her eyes were filled with displeasure.

It wasn’t that she didn’t like Bonita.

Bonita’s reaction in the big scene was really not enough.

“Since the gift has already been given, we should let the other party handle it,” Ryan said coldly. “It was out of kindness that Miss Kasse was willing to donate the necklace.”

“First Prince, your Princess Consort is still here.” Russell continued to sow discord. “Aren’t you afraid that the Princess Consort will be jealous?”

Shi Xi came back to her senses.

Ah, why did this melon fall on me as 1 ate it?

“The Princess Consort is magnanimous and won’t be calculative,” Ryan answered on Shi Xi’s behalf.

Shi Xi smiled faintly and said, “That’s right. Ryan bid for this necklace because he wanted to give it to me. Why would I be jealous?”

Everyone:”…”

Instantly, everyone’s gaze landed on Shi Xi.

Even the Queen could not help but look at Shi Xi.

Tears welled up in Bonita’s eyes.

Ryan stared at Shi Xi. He wanted to say something, but he could not say anything.

Russell choked and asked Shi Xi, “You, you really want to accept it?”

Shi Xi pretended to be shy. “Ryan gave it to me, so I naturally accepted it.”

That was 6 million!

Ryan gritted his teeth. “Let’s talk when we get back!”

The Queen stood up and interrupted the farce. “Thank you, everyone, for your contributions to the royal charity. The charity auction ended perfectly.”

Since the Queen had spoken, the others listened quietly. They bowed slightly and sent the Queen away.

After the Queen left, the banquet hall became lively again.

The older ones were ready to leave, while the younger ones gathered together and continued to gossip.

Ryan strode over to Shi Xi and frowned. “Why are you back?”

“If I didn’t come back, how could I have seen such an exciting auction?” Shi Xi’s eyes curved into crescents as if she was watching a show. “Are you sure you want to argue with me about this instead of coaxing your beloved childhood sister? 1 think she’s crying.”

A conflicted look flashed across Ryan’s eyes.

Shi Xi tilted her head to look at him innocently and cutely.

“Send the Princess Consort back. Don’t let her out without my order.”

Shi Xi: ?!

Too much!!
