"One million five hundred thousand!"
"Two million!"
"Three million!"
"Three million two hundred thousand!"
"Three million three hundred thousand!"
…
The fervent bidding had begun, and it was all men calling out their bids, the ring signifying true love—who wouldn't want to win it for the woman he loved most?
After reaching three million, the price seemed to have hit a bottleneck; everyone was adding just ten thousand at a time, yet there were no breaks, as the bids continuously increased.
"I bid five million five hundred thousand!"
A bid of five million quieted the lively crowd instantly; no one raised their bids further as if they were contemplating whether it was necessary to go any higher with such a steep price already on the floor.
"Five million for the first time!" the auctioneer shouted.
"Eight million!"
A loud voice rang out, causing everyone to gasp. Who was it, making such a large increase with a single bid—increasing it by three million!
"It's Chen Ziqian!"
