Rebirth of a Nation's Darling – Prince Charming

Chapter 555: His Majesty snatches the treasure (1)

What was it that made people from so many countries gather here? Si Huang had some doubts in his heart. He took the red teacup from Ivan Jasper and raised his chin, indicating that he could continue his work.

Ivan Jasper smiled at her and bent over, replacing the previous auctioneer in the soft discussion. He stood in the center and smiled at everyone.” Friends from all over the world, I’m sorry to meet you today. Welcome to the Dream. I’ll be hosting the next auction today. I hope you have a good night.”

Due to the princess’s accident, Ivan Jasper was in a bad mood, so he did not officially come into contact with the guests on board this time.

Now, his behavior made everyone present more certain that the girl sitting above was his new princess. Even if those who could come here had never seen the former princess, they had done their research, so they noticed the difference between the current one. Ivan Jasper seemed to dote on her more than before!

No matter how many thoughts people had, they did not reveal them. The auction continued under the leadership of Ivan Jasper.

He didn’t need to look at any hints to be able to tell the information of the auction item. His understanding of art was also very rich. He was not inferior to the professional auctioneer before, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was even more outstanding.

Si Huang endured the pressure of all kinds of gazes as she sat on a single chair and calmly drank her tea. From her posture, one could see that she was calm and composed, so that some people who were observant could not find the slightest flaw.

Ivan Jasper, who was hosting the auction, would look at his young lady from time to time. When he saw her fearless and elegant appearance, he would show a reassuring and gentle smile, feeling proud of his young lady’s excellence.

When his gaze inadvertently swept across Qin Fan, Dou Wenqing, and the others ‘tables, his deep blue eyes settled his emotions, and a trace of coldness brewed. Don’t think that he couldn’t see that the two of them were looking at him with greed in their eyes!

“Ivana, I want this.”

When this voice sounded, the bidding stopped.

The people at the scene had long been curious about Si Huang. Seeing that she had finally spoken after coming for a while, their attention was naturally fixed on her.

Currently, the land on an old street in Country Y was being auctioned. The bidders had already bid for a few rounds. Si Huang noticed that the one who had the fiercest bid and was determined to win was the middle-aged customer at Dou Wenqing’s table.

“Yes, my young miss.” Ivan Jasper agreed to Phoenix Si’s request without any reason or hesitation.

This scene caused the expressions of most people present to change.

“Let’s look at the next auction item.” Ivan Jasper didn’t seem to realize that his behavior was too outrageous.

“No, I can’t! You can’t do this!” The middle-aged customer said in dissatisfaction,” We are still bidding. How can you keep the auction item for yourself? Decide where it goes without authorization!”

” Of course I can do that.” Ivan Jasper smiled.” This is the Dream. I will decide on all the auction items.”

Ivan Jasper placed the auction certificate on Si Huang’s table and chuckled.” I’m very happy to have something that you like.”

Si Huang’s cold and mocking voice sounded from behind the mask,” I think there will be more treasures that will catch my eye.”

All the guests present stared at her, wondering if this girl was here to cause trouble.

Although the guests at the scene felt that Si Huang’s words were too willful, with Ivan Jasper around, they could only suffer in silence. He could only hope that the things he liked would not be stolen by this willful young lady again.

The middle-aged customer did not want to give up. One of the most important reasons he came here was the old street in Country Y. How could he let everything go down the drain just because of a little girl’s words?

“Second Young Master!” The middle-aged customer’s eyes darted back and forth. When he saw Dou Wenqing, it was as if he had seen hope. His eyes lit up. “This must be obtained. Our cooperation…” he said in a low voice.

Before he could finish his words, he was frozen by Second Young Master Dou’s gaze. In an instant, he had the same doubt as Chai Liang. What happened to make Second Young Master change his expression so quickly?

” Don’t you understand what the Earl is saying?” Dou Wenqing said.

The middle-aged customer’s face flashed with embarrassment. He smiled and said,” I heard you. But, Second Young Master, don’t you think this is against the rules?”

” You mean you want me to argue with the Earl on the spot?” What was clearly a question was turned into a statement by Dou Wenqing. There was no fluctuation in her words, making the middle-aged customer feel like he was a clown in the other party’s eyes.” Sit down.”

The middle-aged customer subconsciously sat back down when he heard the last two words. Then, his old face turned red. He was sure that Second Young Master Dou must have felt that his words and actions had embarrassed him by sitting at the same table as him!

This little episode did not affect the auction’s progress. The Phoenix didn’t interfere with the rest of the auction. She didn’t want it herself. Sometimes, Ivan Jasper would even look at her, as if the auction item didn’t attract her interest. It was a pity that she didn’t like it.

This scene made the eyes of the guests below twitch. They thought that the earl who had a princess was a perfect gentleman and a trustworthy partner. Now, they felt that he doted on the princess too much and became unreliable.

” The item that is about to be auctioned is one of the finale items of today’s auction.” Ivan Jasper lifted the red silk covering the auction item in front of him, revealing the treasure inside. It was a ring. “Her name is Christina’s wish, and it comes from…”

When Ivan Jasper was talking about the origin of Christina’s wish, Si Huang noticed that several people below were getting restless, including Qin Fan’s table.

This wasn’t seen from Qin Fan’s face, but from the expressions of Yangzi and the others. Her gaze had just turned to their table when she was captured by a pair of eyes. That gaze was so oppressive that Si Huang could not ignore it even if he wanted to. If she pretended not to see it, it would seem too deliberate.

Hence, Si Huang calmly turned his gaze to meet Qin Fan’s. Their gazes seemed to be able to spark in the air.

After staring at each other for about four to five seconds, Si Huang looked away and let out a soft tsk.

” Miss, are you bored?” Ivan Jasper asked Phoenix after he finished explaining the auction item.

“No, I’m in the right mood.” Si Huang replied.

Ivan Jasper told everyone that they could bid on Christina’s wish. He had already walked to Phoenix Si and poured her another cup of black tea, adjusting it to her favorite taste.
