The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 158 - The Man She Loves and the Man Who Loves Her 3

Spending twenty-six million on a necklace?

Standing on the stage, Liang Nuannuan’s face twisted with frustration as she glared at Gu Xiaoai. The market value of the necklace was only around five million, yet Li Juefeng had raised the bid to twenty-six million just to compete with her.

It was obvious that Gu Xiaoai had heard it was a token of love from Chu Shixiu and had persuaded Li Juefeng to bid for it. This Gu Xiaoai… she certainly had some tricks up her sleeve.

Not only had she lingered in Chu Shixiu’s thoughts for so many years, but she also managed to catch the eye of a big shot like Li Juefeng, who was willing to spend a fortune on her behalf.

After a long silence, Liang Nuannuan decided not to bid any further. She simply smiled at everyone and said, “Since Mr. Li is so fond of the ‘Tear of Aerli,’ how could I possibly take away something he desires?”

The Li Family Consortium had no shortage of money. Continuing to bid against Li Juefeng would only leave her embarrassed, so she decided to bow out gracefully.

“Wow, Miss Liang is letting her token of love go to someone else,” Su Xuanxuan remarked with a smile. “Why not invite Mr. Li to say a few words on stage?”

Naturally, the ‘Tear of Aerli’ necklace went to Li Juefeng.

“No need,” Li Juefeng replied coldly, turning to Gu Xiaoai with a smug raise of his eyebrow.

Gu Xiaoai was at a loss for words and could only muster a fake smile. This necklace… she didn’t want it at all.

Li Juefeng’s refusal to speak left Su Xuanxuan, the host, awkwardly hanging on stage. She shot a resentful glance at Gu Xiaoai before regaining her composure with a smile. “Let’s have the usher bring the ‘Tear of Aerli’ to Mr. Li!”

Gu Xiaoai caught Su Xuanxuan’s resentful look and felt a bit frustrated. What did this have to do with her? Was she the target for everyone’s frustration just because they couldn’t vent it on Li Juefeng? Did they feel better by glaring at her?

Gu Xiaoai couldn’t understand what people like Liu Zimi and Su Xuanxuan were thinking.

As the jewelry box was brought to their table, the room erupted in applause.

“Are you happy?” Ignoring the second auction item being presented on stage, Li Juefeng pushed the jewelry box towards Gu Xiaoai, his eyes filled with arrogant pride.

The necklace inside the box sparkled brilliantly, each gem dazzling and full of life.

Chu Shixiu’s token of love… was now in her possession.

Whether she was happy or not didn’t really matter…
