Although the ring was dazzling, its price was indeed too high. Lady Wang's bid immediately caused an uproar. It should be known that, apart from competing with the Longyu Group in certain industries, Heng Yuan Group's main business was jewelry. This could be easily seen from the special diamond necklace around Lady Wang's neck, which was made up of blue diamonds. As a member of the jewelry industry, she had actually stood up to bid without hesitation. It was obvious that this Ancient Heart Cold Jade Soul Essence Ring was indeed worth that much.
Some of the shrewd strong women immediately reacted after hearing Lady Wang's words. Before the emcee could call out 50 million going once, they immediately raised the paddles in their hands.
Ruyue's eyes were a little hazy as she looked at the ring on the stage. She didn't know why, but her heart was filled with a sense of loss. She felt that it was a great pity that the ring was so precious, but at the same time, she felt lost because of what the ring represented!
Under the dumbfounded gaze of the emcee, the price continued to rise. In just a short while, the price of the Ancient Heart had already exceeded 65 million RMB, even though the emcee had forgotten to mention the amount of the price increase each time.
The name Ancient Heart was an idea that Qi Yue had come up with on the spur of the moment. Not only was the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade formed over a long period of time, but it was also to commemorate everything that had happened to him during the era of the ancient beasts.
Lady Wang's expression became very solemn. Her eyes became very clear and abnormally bright. As someone from a jewelry family, she knew very well that the Ancient Heart on the stage was definitely a priceless treasure. Although it hadn't been specially appraised, the aura emitted by the Ancient Heart was enough for her to understand everything. It was an incomparably sparkling blue color. As well as its ability to change temperature. This was definitely not something that could be created by any special technique. Even if one used dry ice to lower the temperature of such a large space, it would still take time! However, all of this had been completed in just a few blinks of an eye.
"70 million." Lady Wang gritted her teeth and called out the price. This was close to the limit that she could bear.
The audience gradually quietened down. Although the women present were all elites in the business world, as a business, their cash flow was limited. Their cash flow was limited, and they were not rich playboys. Most of them accumulated wealth through their own hard work. Seventy million to buy a ring was already somewhat inconceivable for them. After seeing the Ancient Heart, these business elites had gradually calmed down, and the sound of bidding also came to a halt.
"71 million." Finally, someone spoke, and the person who spoke turned out to be the beautiful woman Qi Yue met when he first entered the banquet, Ruyue's future sister-in-law.
A trace of disappointment appeared in the eyes of the woman surnamed Wang. She sighed and said, "To be honest, I really hope to obtain this ring. If the conditions allow it, I will definitely offer a higher price. But recently, our Heng Yuan Group has been dealing with some matters regarding the listing of the company, and the company's mid-year financial report is about to be released. Under these circumstances, 70 million is already the limit of what I can afford. It seems that I have no choice but to give up. "As she spoke, she lowered her head dejectedly.
Just when everyone thought that 71 million was going to be the highest price of the day, a calm voice suddenly sounded, "I bid 80 million."
The audience went into an uproar once again, and all eyes turned towards the direction of the voice. The voice had come from the back of the rostrum. It sounded as moving as an oriole leaving the valley. It didn't have any charm, but it made everyone feel very comfortable when they heard it. The clear and melodious voice also had a hint of mellowness to it. The perfect voice caused everyone to gasp in surprise.
A graceful figure slowly walked out from the back of the rostrum. It was a woman. To be precise, it should be a woman. She looked to be less than 20 years old. Her long black hair draped over her back. Her hair was very straight and soft, and under the illumination of the banquet hall, it shone with a mysterious luster. Her long, soft, and straight hair extended all the way to the ground, like black satin, giving off an extremely soft feeling.
She was around 1.7 meters tall, and her well-proportioned figure couldn't be considered voluptuous, but it was incomparably attractive. At the first sight of her, Qi Yue suddenly felt the same feeling he had when he first saw Ruyue and Wen Ting. It was completely close to perfection! Perhaps only the successor of the goddess Athena, Yummou, could barely surpass her in terms of temperament.
Incomparably exquisite facial features, tender skin, a pair of large eyes that shone with a gentle light, coupled with her long hair that reached the ground and her slender body, every part of her was so attractive.
She was wearing a simple black evening gown, and there was nothing special about it. She was conservative like Ruyue, and only a third of her upper arms were exposed. Her snow-white skin was full of a warm jade-like texture. That delicate and alluring feeling was as if water would drip out of it with a gentle pinch.
His big black eyes seemed to be able to speak. His gentle gaze swept across everyone present. Slightly nodding, he said: "I am very presumptuous to disturb everyone. Xiao Lou is very sorry. Please forgive me."
The eyes of all the men present lit up, and all the women could not help but be overshadowed by her, except for Ruyue. Only Ruyue's coldness and stunning beauty could be compared with this beauty who suddenly appeared.
Xiao Lou turned to the Chairman of the National Women's Federation on the stage, smiled slightly, and apologized, "I'm sorry, Chairman Li, please forgive my presumptuousness. However, this last auction item really forced me to come out from the backstage. "
Chairman Li stood up and said with a smile, "Xiao Lou, you are also a successful representative of women. It doesn't matter. You should have come to this banquet."
After a short moment of amazement, Qi Yue had recovered at this time. He was a little surprised to find that the guests in the banquet hall seemed to be very familiar with the long-haired girl who suddenly appeared. He was not surprised to see the infatuation in the men's eyes, but what surprised him was that even the female entrepreneurs present were looking at Miss Xiao Lou with eyes full of admiration, and there was no jealousy that women should have.
"Ruyue, who is this Xiao Lou? It seems that everyone knows her. "Qi Yue asked Ruyue through telepathy.
Ruyue said in a low voice, "Don't you know? Oh my god! Are you a modern person or not? "
Qi Yue smiled faintly and said, "Even I don't know how to explain it. Don't forget that I just came back from the ancient beasts era! "
Ruyue glanced at him and saw that Qi Yue did not focus his attention on the stunning Xiao Lou. She could not help but feel a little happy in her heart. In fact, although Qi Yue liked beautiful women, he had also seen many top-grade beauties. He also had three top-grade confidantes. Although this Xiao Lou was enough to shock him, it was not to the extent of infatuation. Moreover, before coming back, he had already decided to cultivate his character and not to easily get involved in emotional troubles.
"Speaking of which, the rise of Xiao Lou is about the same time as when you became the Zodiac Guardian God Warrior. Just last winter, she suddenly appeared on the stage of the entertainment industry like a meteor. In just a short period of three months, she actually moved everyone's heart with her moving voice. She became the leader of the new generation of our Yanhuang Republic's music industry. I have heard her songs, it is really like the sound of nature! "
Qi Yue suddenly understood and said, "So she is a big star. No wonder everyone seems to know her. But she has only been in the industry for a little more than a year! How can she have so much money? She can only buy a ring with 80 million yuan. "
Ruyue smiled slightly and said, "Haven't you heard? The power of the masses is great. Ever since her debut, she had only released one album. It was a compilation of 14 singles. Each song had a different characteristic, perfectly displaying her heavenly voice. The sales of this album alone has reached an astonishing 4 million copies, and this is only within our Yanhuang Republic. This album of hers has now entered the global market. It is not difficult for her to take out 80 million yuan. Xiao Lou is a very strange star. She is different from other stars. She never seems to care about money. She sings for the sake of singing. It can be said that she is the dream lover in the hearts of all men, and also the angel in their hearts that they need to protect. I think, as long as it is a man. After hearing her voice, I am afraid that no one will have the intention to hurt her, not even a little bit. Only those who have really heard her voice can understand that feeling. Moreover, although she is beautiful, she does not cause jealousy. That is because she is low-key. With her achievements in the recording industry, she can have greater development. However, she did not. Unlike other stars, she did not change from singing to acting. She did not even do any advertising. She only released that album. All her public performances only appeared in charity events, and she did not charge any fees. Such a singer is completely recognized by us women. The so-called unspoken rules of the entertainment industry are even more isolated from her. Even if countless reporters follow her for 24 hours, they will not be able to dig out any gossip from her. Such a girl, I can only use the word 'perfect' to describe her. I did not expect that she will also come to tonight's party. With her low-key manner, she should be preparing to sing a single after the auction. "
After listening to Ruyue's simple introduction, Qi Yue suddenly had a great interest in this gentle and beautiful girl. Is it not for money? Did she enter the entertainment industry just to sing? Did she want to contribute her beautiful voice to everyone?
"80 million going once, Ms. Xiao Lou's price." After a short period of surprise, the emcee has re-entered his role after getting the signal of the Women's Federation's president.
Xiao Lou stood under the stage, smiling and nodding to the people under the stage. When her moonlight shifted to Qi Yue, she could not help but stay for a while, just in time to meet Qi Yue's eyes. Qi Yue was a little surprised to find that this girl named Xiao Lou did not have any jewelry on her body, not even a decorative necklace. Everything was so natural, giving him the feeling of breathing the clear air when he first arrived at the ancient behemoth era.
"80 million going twice." The emcee has already raised the auction hammer in her hand. If no one else bids, when she calls out for the third time, the Ancient Heart will be sold.
"Is there anyone else who wants to make a bid? If there isn't, then the Ancient Heart Cold Jade Soul Ring will belong to Miss Xiao Lou. "The master of ceremonies routinely asked.
Xiao Lou's gaze had already left Qi Yue and landed on the Ancient Heart. There was no excitement or joy in her eyes, only anticipation.
"One hundred million." The two short words represented an astronomical number. These two simple words were filled with determination.
"80 million going thrice … Ah! 100 million? "The emcee almost dropped the auction hammer in her hand. There was a look of disbelief in her eyes. At this moment, a man has once again become the focus of the audience. He, is still Qi Yue.
Qi Yue calmly said the two words "one hundred million". He slowly walked past Ru Yue and towards the main platform for the third time today. His gaze was calm, but it was also filled with determination.
Xiao Lou quickly turned around. Her beautiful long hair was like a black waterfall in the air, and her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise. "100 million? Mr. Qi, this seems to be the auction item that you donated. "
Qi Yue walked to Xiao Lou's side and faced her face. He smiled and said, "Yes, this is indeed the auction item that I donated. However, I did not say that I would let it go. I am offering 100 million to buy it back. I am completely representing the Long Yu Group. In addition to the previous auction items, I only hope to make some effort for charity today. "
Xiao Lou frowned slightly, and there was a look of disappointment in her eyes. Just as 70 million was Ms. Wang's bottom line, 80 million was also her bottom line. She looked at Qi Yue softly and said, "Sir, can't you give it to me?"
Perhaps, if someone else was looked at by such a beauty with such a gentle look, they would immediately raise their hands and surrender. Unfortunately, she was facing Qi Yue. Qi Yue shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Miss Xiao Lou. It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but I really can't, because I have already found a master for it. Of course, Miss Xiao Lou's temperament is enough to match it, but I have already determined its master when I prepared it."
Xiao Lou took a deep look at Qi Yue, and there was no unhappiness in her beautiful eyes. She smiled and said, "Mr. Qi, you donated such a precious auction item and bought it back in person, which shows your support for charity. I can only give it up."
After Qi Yue nodded to her, he looked at the rostrum. The emcee immediately understood. After the first, second, and third confirmation, he bought the auction item that he provided with a sky-high price of 100 million. The reason why he did not compete for the other auction items in the second half of the auction was that he already had a plan in mind. The last auction was his real purpose! In this way, it was equivalent to donating 100 million to the All-China Women's Federation for free. Even the world's famous rich people could not easily make such a big donation.
Walking on the rostrum, this time, Qi Yue was greeted with warm applause. The chairman of the All-China Women's Federation walked to the rostrum and handed the box containing the Ancient Heart to Qi Yue. She held his other hand and said excitedly, "Thank you for the generosity of the Longyu Group and Mr. Qi. I also want to thank all the guests here today. I think with everyone's joint efforts, the establishment of our Women's and Children's Foundation will be more smooth. Originally, I was going to award the honorary consultant of the All-China Women's Federation to the woman who won the most money in today's auction. However, it's a pity that Mr. Qi is a man, so I can only award a title to Mr. Qi on behalf of women and children. I don't think anyone here would have any objections, right? "Speaking up to this point, President Li laughed first.
Qi Yue was stunned and said, "Title? What title? "
Chairman Li took a deep look at him and announced loudly into the microphone, "From now on, Mr. Qi is the Women's Friend of our Yanhuang Republic. Let's give a warm applause to thank Mr. Qi for everything he has done for charity today. "
"Uh … Women's Friend." Qi Yue looked at the chairman of the Women's Federation next to him, dumbfounded. Ruyue, who was under the stage, had already doubled over with laughter. Even the big star Xiao Lou, who had been calm before, covered her mouth and chuckled at this time.
The guests did not expect that the chairman of the All-China Women's Federation had a humorous side. The whole banquet suddenly became much more relaxed with the appearance of Qi Yue, the Women's Friend.
"I don't know who Mr. Qi is going to give this ring to? I'm very curious. "The one who spoke was Xiao Lou, who was closest to the rostrum. Obviously, she was very curious about this young man in front of her who was not handsome but very special.
Holding the wooden box in his hand, Qi Yue smiled indifferently and said, "So be it. Miss Xiao Lou's question is precisely what I wanted to announce in front of all the guests here. This Ancient Heart is something that I have only obtained after experiencing many trials and tribulations. For me, its preciousness is not only reflected on the surface. I hope to be able to put it on the hand of my beloved woman. " The energy aura flashed and disappeared. For the ordinary people present, it was impossible to feel.
The banquet hall suddenly darkened. Only two light beams appeared where Qi Yue and Ruyue were, making them the focus of the audience at the same time.
Under the pursuit of the light beam, Qi Yue jumped down from the stage and walked step by step towards Ruyue. Looking at his sincere and fiery eyes, Ruyue's eyes became moist. At this moment, the sense of loss she felt earlier had long since flown beyond the highest heavens. What was 200 million? Compared to the gaze of the man in front of her, it was no longer important.
The whole place was silent. Only the crisp sound of Qi Yue's leather shoes as he walked forward could be heard. At this moment, under the light beam, his body seemed so tall and straight. Ruyue's beauty was also completely set off, like a moon surrounded by stars.
Zhang Jiuxiao's body had already recovered from the numbness, but even he had already forgotten about money. His heart was only filled with joy and excitement. He secretly prayed for his sister. Ruyue, you have finally found a man worthy of your love.
The master of the ceremony muttered to himself, "Could it be that this has already been arranged? Otherwise, why would there be such a matching light? It's simply too perfect. If, if there is a man who can also treat me like this, then I … "
No one could hear the master of the ceremony's inner thoughts. At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Qi Yue and Ruyue. With firm steps, he finally arrived in front of her.
"My dear, we have been together for a long time, but I have never been able to do anything for you. I only hope that you can understand that my love for you will not change in this lifetime. Until the end of my life. " Qi Yue's voice sounded a little low, but when it entered the ears of the women present, it was filled with a magnetic feeling.
"Qi Yue …" Looking at the man in front of her, Ruyue knew that her six months of bitter waiting had not been in vain. Six months! Just as Ming Ming had said, she did not know how much pressure she had endured. However, for the sake of the Zodiac Guardian God warriors, she had no choice but to conceal her true feelings in the depths of her heart. After all, if she were to panic, the morale of the Zodiac Guardian God warriors would definitely be greatly affected. At this very moment, she was satisfied as she looked at Qi Yue, who was filled with deep emotions. All of her grievances and unhappiness had completely vanished. She knew that this man was worthy of her love. In this lifetime, he was probably the only one who could move her ice-cold heart.
Looking at the tears flowing from Ruyue's eyes, sparkling and translucent, Qi Yue took out the ring from the wooden box and took a step back. Under the gaze of the crowd, under the illumination of the two beams of light, he knelt on one knee and raised the ring in front of him. In a gentle voice, he said, "Ruyue, my precious, are you willing to let me put this Ancient Heart on your finger? Will you give me the right to love you forever? "
Silence. Although Qi Yue's confession of his true feelings seemed so cliché, at this moment, under the witness of the Ancient Heart, it was filled with a sacred feeling.
No one knew who was the first to say, "Say yes to him." Following that, the same voice resounded throughout the entire banquet hall. Regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, they all repeated the same three words.
"Say yes to him, say yes to him …"
Tears continued to fall. Looking at the flickering blue light of the Ancient Heart, the usually strong Ruyue could no longer suppress the emotions in her heart. She also knelt on one knee. She no longer cared about her manners and fiercely threw herself into Qi Yue's embrace.
Under the illumination of the lights, under the gazes of all the female business elites and their companions, the two hugged each other. At this moment, no matter how many people there were around them, they only had each other in their hearts.
A melodious voice rang out at the right time. The beautiful song recounted the sweetness of a pair of lovers. That heavenly voice did not require any accompaniment from any instruments, and it had already filled the entire banquet hall with a feeling of tenderness and sweetness. The song swirled in the air, making this moment so romantic.
The hugging bodies slowly separated. Qi Yue did not know when. He had already lifted up Ruyue's slender and slightly trembling right hand. The blue light slowly fused with her as white as a spring onion finger. The place where the ring was worn was Ruyue's middle finger. It represented that they were passionately in love.
The cold feeling could not extinguish the fire in Ruyue's heart. Feeling the surging energy from the Ancient Heart, her heart was already a little intoxicated. The faint blue light complemented her white skin, setting off her stunning beauty. At this moment, Ruyue had finally become perfect. At least, in Qi Yue's eyes, she was already absolutely perfect.
Gently bringing Ruyue's hand to his lips, Qi Yue gently kissed the Ancient Heart on her hand. His scorching lips touched the ring that was emitting an icy aura, giving Ruyue a feeling of ice and fire at the same time. All of these wonderful things had determined the deep feelings between them, determined that they would be bound together for the rest of their lives. Ruyue's heart no longer belonged to herself. Instead, it was completely filled by that ruffian's figure.
"Let this Ancient Heart truly become a token of our love, okay?" Qi Yue said softly.
Ruyue nodded. She really wanted to laugh, but she did not know why, but crystal clear tears flowed from her eyes. "I, I haven't prepared anything."
Qi Yue shook his head and said with a light smile, "Okay, what do I need to prepare? You are the greatest gift that the heavens have bestowed upon me. If I really want to exchange a gift, it's very simple. "As he said that, he held Ruyue's hand and gently swept it across her delicate face. Ruyue only felt a slight chill on her face as three drops of tears fell. They were actually affected by the Ancient Heart and turned into ice crystals in the air. She could clearly feel the gentle energy completely enveloping the ice crystals. In the next moment, Qi Yue had already carefully placed the three drops of tears into his own wooden box.
"Pure tears are the best proof of our love. Use them as your gift to me." As he said that, Qi Yue supported Ruyue's delicate body and slowly stood up. Under the background of that heavenly song, their bodies were tightly joined together, hugging each other's real bodies. Their hearts were intoxicated.
Ruyue did not even know how she walked out of the hotel, nor did she realize that Qi Yue did not attend the last dance with her. But she was very clear that today, this day of summer, was going to be the happiest day of her life.
All the guests who attended the charity party watched the Lamborghini leave. No one said a word as Qi Yue and Ruyue left, because they did not want to break the almost eternal romance.
Watching the shadow of the car disappear, Xiao Lou's eyes became a little hazy. The Ancient Heart and the scene before her had already touched the heart of this extraordinary woman in the music industry. Inspiration surged like a tide. In her heart, she already had the idea of the next big album.
The emcee stood next to Chairman Li of the Women's Federation and asked in a low voice, "Chairman, did you arrange all this?"
Chairman Li said blankly, "Arrange? What arrangement? "
The emcee smiled bitterly and said, "If you didn't arrange it, how could the lighting work so well together? Even Miss Lou sang her most beautiful song at the most crucial moment, 'A Phoenix Seeking for a Phoenix'. You should have told me in advance. Oh, no, it's better to know in person. This is the most amazing auction party I have ever attended! "
Chairman Li was stunned for a moment. "But I really didn't arrange it! And in the banquet hall, there doesn't seem to be any special light projecting. "
The emcee was speechless.
In the Dragon Field Courtyard.
They hadn't felt so relaxed for half a year. After Qi Yue and Ruyue had left, all the Zodiac warriors stayed in the hall of the villa and listened to Wen Ting tell them everything that had happened. Wen Ting knew that everyone here was Qi Yue's best friend and partner, so she didn't hide anything and told them everything truthfully.
The Zodiac warriors were so surprised that they were a little numb. Even Master Zagrú, who came out of the room and joined them, couldn't calm down. After all, everything she said could only be described as a myth.
"Have you digested it?" Wen Ting smiled and looked at the people who had been stunned for half an hour.
Master Zagrú was the first to come back to his senses. "Amitabha, this is really incredible. A human can actually return to the era of ancient beasts. No wonder, no wonder Qi Yue could recover Kirin's arm so quickly, and we couldn't feel his aura. To be honest, even I thought he was no longer in the human world. "
Yan Xiaoyi smiled and said, "He is indeed no longer in the human world! He has gone to the mythical world. Boss is indeed Boss. He is really strong. However, I want to see what the Xuanyuan Sword looks like. However, I think the biggest achievement of Boss's trip is not to recover Kirin's arm, but to bring back such a beautiful sister, Snow Girl. It's not easy! I finally have a chance. "
Snow Girl looked at him and gently lowered her head. Her previously cold face unexpectedly had a hint of gentleness. Her melting naturally wasn't because she had just met Yan Xiaoyi. The experience of the ancient beasts had completely melted her Emperor Heart Snow Lotus heart, and the familiar feeling of Dragon Field Courtyard made her feel as if she had returned home.
Wen Ting unhappily said, "Little Yi, you can't have any thoughts of hitting our Snow Girl. Our Snow Girl is a good child. She hasn't even had a boyfriend yet. "
Yan Xiaoyi retorted, "I am also very pure. Sister Wen, I am still a virgin. Is this not considered pure? "
