Chapter 115 : Sky-high Price Pink Diamond

Mu Qianqian anxiously asked, “Mr. what’s wrong?”

Could it be that Mr. was not acclimating well and had a fever?

Fu Sichan’s cold and distant gaze settled on her, his voice low and hoarse, carrying an air of danger.

“Do you really want to know?”

Perhaps it was the open atmosphere of this foreign land, or perhaps the gunfire outside stirred the deep-seated violence within him.

Fu Sichan’s cold, slender fingers roamed over her jawline.

Like a hungry wolf sizing up its prey.

Mu Qianqian felt a shiver run down her spine, instinctively sensing the threat.

She subconsciously wanted to escape.

But just as she was about to pull away from Mr.’s embrace, a burst of gunfire erupted outside.

“Ah!”

Startled, Mu Qianqian quickly recoiled.

In her sudden reaction, she ended up pressing tightly against Fu Sichan, their bodies aligned perfectly.

Mu Qianqian’s eyes widened, afraid to breathe.

Not because of anything else, but because a dangerous giant dragon lurked behind her.

Her lower back was pinned, and she dared not move.

Fu Sichan gripped her jaw, his tone menacing.

“Do you understand now?”

Mu Qianqian’s face turned crimson, her eyelashes fluttering incessantly.

Her voice was soft, like a spring breeze, full of timidness.

“I—I understand.”

The girl’s voice was so soft it resembled the mewing of a kitten.

Fu Sichan’s throat tightened.

The room was silent, the two of them could hear each other’s breathing.

One breath was cautious, the other heavy and hot.

Mu Qianqian was so frightened she was almost in tears.

She wasn’t prepared for this.

His large hands gripped her slender waist, pressing her down.

Mu Qianqian bit her lip tightly, suppressing the sounds that almost escaped.

It was too embarrassing!

Mr. please stop teasing her.

Otherwise, she would really lose control.

Fu Sichan saw the little one in his arms trembling like a frightened rabbit, clearly at her breaking point.

He couldn’t be too harsh, or he might scare her permanently, which would be a problem for him in the future.

“If you dare provoke me again, don’t blame me for not being gentle.”

With that, Fu Sichan stood up and walked into the bathroom.

The great President Fu was taking another cold shower.

As soon as he left, the warmth behind Mu Qianqian disappeared.

She clutched her chest, feeling her heart pounding violently.

Actually, she wasn’t entirely opposed to it.

But she had indeed been frightened just now.

She was afraid she might die in bed.

Mu Qianqian closed her eyes, feeling anxious about her future.

One day, she and her husband would inevitably have to share a bed.

What would she do when that time comes…

With these thoughts weighing on her, she had forgotten about the gunfire outside.

After a long flight, she was exhausted and soon fell into a deep sleep.

She didn’t even notice when Mr. returned.

…

The next morning, the hotel staff brought breakfast.

One of the dishes was a baguette paired with pumpkin puree and tuna.

Fu Sichan ate as usual, but Mu Qianqian hesitated to use her fork and knife.

“Not to your taste?” Fu Sichan asked.

The girl was physically delicate, and if her nutrition wasn’t sufficient, she might fall ill.

Mu Qianqian shook her head repeatedly.

“No, I’ll eat it now.”

It wasn’t that she didn’t like the dish; it was just that it reminded her of other things.

Mu Qianqian didn’t know she had such dirty thoughts in her head.

She used to be so innocent!

Why did spending time with Mr. make her mind wander so easily?

With a flushed face, Mu Qianqian ate the dish.

In fact, the dish was quite delicious, though it was a bit hard.

…

In the evening, there was an auction.

The gown Fu Sichan chose for her was quite conservative, revealing almost no skin.

It was Mu Qianqian’s first time wearing an evening gown, and she was so nervous she didn’t know where to place her hands.

Fu Sichan extended his arm, “Link arms with me, don’t be afraid.”

Mu Qianqian, wearing white gloves, mustered up the courage to link arms with him.

They were seated in the middle of the front row, while the auctioneer on stage presented item after item.

The atmosphere in the hall was lively, and each item was auctioned off at sky-high prices.

However, Mu Qianqian didn’t understand the local language.

So she didn’t realize that these items were starting at eight-figure prices.

In front of her were fruit platters and local snacks.

With nothing else to do, Mu Qianqian quietly ate the snacks.

When Fu Sichan turned his head, he saw her cheeks puffed up like a little hamster.

The girl didn’t seem to like expensive dishes, but these snacks suited her taste.

Fu Sichan signaled to a waiter, who then brought over more local snacks.

Many people nearby were looking in their direction.

After all, everyone was engrossed in the auction. Even if they couldn’t bid successfully, it was still a treat for the eyes and a chance to expand their horizons.

It was surprising that someone was so uninterested in the high-priced collectibles and was only focused on eating.

Could it be that these items didn’t even catch her eye?

Someone recognized the man beside her and said in the local language to their companion, “The person next to her is the King of the Eastern Business Empire, so of course she doesn’t care about these items.”

As everyone knows, Eastern culture has a long and storied history, with thousands of years of tradition, what valuable things have they not had?

So it’s only natural that they wouldn’t be impressed by these commercial items.

Finally, it was time for the grand finale auction item.

It was a necklace, set with a row of sparkling diamonds and various colored gemstones.

The most precious part was the central, pure natural pink diamond, crystal clear and dazzling with brilliant light.

This pink diamond necklace captured the attention of all the female guests.

Except for Mu Qianqian.

She rubbed her stomach, thinking the local snacks were really good.

But why was this auction taking so long to end?

Fu Sichan, who had shown no interest in the previous items, was slightly intrigued by this final piece.

He remembered that the little girl loved the color pink.

She would probably like this diamond necklace if it were paired with her clothes.

The bidding war was intense, with prices rising beyond what many people could afford, and the number of bidders dwindling.

In the end, only two CEOs were left bidding against each other.

Fu Sichan, impatient to drag the bidding out, raised a sky-high bid number directly.

A collective gasp filled the room.

“What’s happening?”

Mu Qianqian looked curiously at Fu Sichan, vaguely seeing the number nine on the bid card.

What did this mean?

The price was so high that no one dared to follow.

With the fall of the auction gavel, the exorbitantly priced pink diamond was brought to Fu Sichan.

He casually took the necklace and draped it around Mu Qianqian’s neck.

Mu Qianqian felt the weight and, touching the necklace, asked,

“Is this for me?”

“Yes.”

Mu Qianqian felt the smooth, cool surface of the gemstone, though she couldn’t see the details clearly.

She thought the necklace must look beautiful.

Holding the diamond necklace with delight, Mu Qianqian asked,

“How much did this cost?”

Before Fu Sichan could answer, she blinked and guessed on her own,

“It couldn’t be nine hundred, right? Or maybe nine thousand?”

Fu Sichan swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

The diamond necklace he had bought for nine hundred million had been reduced to a mere nine hundred or nine thousand in the little girl’s eyes.
