Shen City was filled with hustle and bustle in the night. For as far as the eyes could see, the neon lights were dazzling, like colorful flames scattered in a glaring ensemble against the darkness.
A red convertible Ferrari sped past.
The excellent rotation speed, coupled with the unparalleled transmission, was lowered again and again in the tunnel. The crisp perfection of the sound pleased the thrill-seeking Nightless City.
But the woman inside was crying.
The dazzling neon lights retreated rapidly across her tear-stained face.
Shi Qi's words echoed in her mind like a nightmare—
'Yuxuan, your engagement with Li Beichen has been confirmed. I've already informed Junye about it. He will put aside his advanced studies at the London Business School and immediately return to attend your wedding. As your older brother, how could he be absent for such an important day?'
Junye, Shi Junye, her older brother.
The same man who had caused her so much pain.
Ever since that night three years ago, and until now, she still clearly remembered that heart-wrenching pain.
Clenching her slender fingers tightly, she wiped away her tears. Slamming her foot on the accelerator, the car roared into action as she drove it into the vast sea and sky——
The threshold to enter Shen City's Boundless Sea and Sky was almost insurmountable. It was a place that even the most influential people and families did not dare to enter.
She only got out of the car after taking a few deep breaths.
Tonight, the sea was vast and the sky was clear. It was grand, powerful.
An Aston Martin was parked there. It was a super sports car on the high-end pyramid. There were only five in the country and they were priced at 47 million yuan. On the other side, the Maybach Exelero was the only one in the world, with a sky-high price of 54 million.
But this car plate——
XA5CM00.
5.C.M.
This man… was so short.
Overcompensating much?
Lips curling, Shi Yuxuan let out a light tinkle of laughter. After applying her lipstick, she stepped into the acclaimed Boundless Sea and Sky.
Once she entered the opulent venue, she ventured to a seat by the tall windows. Not long after she sat down, she vaguely felt that the atmosphere tonight was not quite right.
The 'item' up for auction was actually a girl.
Yuxuan frowned and clenched her fists tightly. It came as no surprise that those unruly playboys liked to play like this.
Obscene, dirty.
"100,000!" The first bid came from the crowd.
A man with a rotund beer belly shook his face full of fat as he bid with vigor.
It was Zhao Qiang, the chairman of Zhao Corporation.
If that girl fell into his hands, it would definitely not end well for her. Yuxuan couldn't help but feel pity for her. Just as she was about to bid, three cold words came from behind her.
"Five million."
In an instant, the crowd was in an uproar.
Everyone looked towards the voice.
It was a tall man who was leaning against the sofa with a sexy woman sitting on each side of him. His casual, burgundy suit was slightly messy, and there was a clear lip stain on the collar of his white shirt.
"Any higher bids?"
The man held the crystal glass with his long and slender fingers, gently swirling the red liquid inside. Then, he raised his phoenix eyes in a devilish fashion.
It was an unfamiliar face that Shi Yuxuan did not recognize. However, it was obvious that he was not a good person.
"Ten million," she called out.
The crowd burst into an uproar.
"She's just a girl, and she's worth 10 million?!"
"And it's a woman who called the price!"
"What the hell is going on?"
Everyone looked at Yuxuan in confusion.
Including the man who was leaning against the sofa.
Shi Yuxuan did not show much emotion on her face. Her fair fingers lightly caressed her long, soft, and slightly curly hair. "That Sir over there, would you like to raise the price?"
He withdrew his phoenix gaze and smiled, like a fox that had cultivated for a thousand years, enchanting and bright.
Lifting the wine glass in his hand, he sipped his cocktail with a wicked smile on his lips.
"Fifteen million dollars."
This was his price.
Everyone present was stunned, including Shi Yuxuan.
It was obvious that she could not afford to put in more.
"Miss, do you still want to raise the price?" he asked her in a provocative tone.
Yuxuan did not speak. She picked up the red cocktail on the bar counter and calmly walked towards the man. Just as she was about to reach the man, she twisted her leg.
The red cocktail in her hand spilled with surprising accuracy onto the spot of the man's pants and the whole area was stained red.
There was an immediate uproar.
"Ah, I'm so sorry to have drenched you, sir."
Almost everyone present was staring at the crotch area of his suit pants. The man's prestigious aura had been ruined by her.
The woman had done it on purpose.
How impudent.
The two ladies in suspenders beside the man immediately reprimanded her aggressively, "How dare you treat Young Master Xing like this!"
Shi Yuxuan looked at both of them, took a mere glance and ignored them. Turning her head, she looked straight at the man on the sofa. Her voice was calm. "Young Master Xing? Is that Maybach yours?"
With a curl of her fingers, she tugged at a wispy strand that framed her face. "5.c.m, it's so short and you still have the cheek to show it off? Bidding for the girl on stage?"
"You!" The man was furious. With a tall and stalwart figure, he stood up magnificently. The colorful chandelier on the ceiling swayed slightly, and colorful lights shone on his sinister face.
This man was very dangerous.
Almost instinctively she wanted to take a step back, but he had already grabbed her chin. "You'll know when you try."
"What a pity. I like women." Shi Yuxuan smiled ambiguously and slapped the man's hand. "Otherwise, why would I be bidding? If Young Master Xing has been castrated, I can consider giving you a try."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned pale.
"F*ck! You f*cking want to castrate me?" He cursed.
Yuxuan shrugged. "I wouldn't dare."
"You have guts!" He looked like he wanted to beat her up.
Taking one step back, Yuxuan distanced herself from him. "The one on stage, 16 million. I want her."
"Oh?"
Xing Ye raised his eyebrows and sized up the arrogant woman in front of him in disbelief.
"Hey, what's your name?" His gaze was so sharp as daggers, leaving her open under his piercing eyes. There was nothing to hide.
"Shi Yuxuan."
The man's sinister lips curled into a wicked smile. Just as he was about to say 20 million, his phone rang. He frowned and glanced at it.
The call went through immediately.
The voice on the other end of the line wasn't loud, but it was deep and powerful, terrifyingly cold. The unwitting sharpness in his eyes intimidated everyone in the room.
"Xing Ye, stop."
