Si Yiyan smirked at Anatolia and said, “I didn’t expect that Young Master Anatoli would be so interested in Chinese culture.”
Anatoli was overwhelmed with an ominous feeling. Si Yiyan had yet to place another bid even after a long while.
“Young Master Anatoli has placed a bid of one billion yuan. Would anyone like to place a higher bid?” asked the auctioneer, who was shocked that the set of Four Treasures of the Study could warrant such a high bid. He was so excited and agitated that his voice began to quiver.
Anatoli finally realized that he had fallen into Si Yiyan’s trap.
“One billion, calling once!”
“One billion, calling twice!”
“One billion, calling thrice! Sold!”
The sound of the hammer being knocked against the wood struck Anatoli, and he felt as if the hammer was being slammed onto his heart instead, causing him immense and excruciating pain. His puerile and exquisite face contorted into a grimace and he thought to himself, G.o.d d.a.m.n it… I was actually pranked by a woman!
Wen Xinya stared at Anatoli and sneered. “Congratulations, Young Master Anatoli! You’ve just spent a billion yuan on a set of Four Treasures of the Study which is only worth 500 million. You’re really wealthy!”
The crowd broke into a commotion as soon as she finished her words.
Si Yiyan gazed at her affectionately, finding it a pity to have missed the opportunity to buy Wen Xinya the set of Four Treasures of the Study.
Gritting his teeth in anger, Anatoli glared at Wen Xinya and sneered. “Thank you. No amount of money can buy happiness. It’s just a billion yuan. It means nothing to me.”
Wen Xinya smiled at Anatoli, who was grimacing in dismay. She quipped. “Young Master Anatoli, you’re the heir of the Ivanov Family. One billion yuan is definitely not going to mean much to you.”
Anatoli grabbed his Chinese beau by her hair, causing her to shriek in pain. However, she had no choice but to follow his motions. Anatoli leaned towards her and planted a kiss on her lips fiercely before turning to glance at Wen Xinya, chuckling smugly.
A sullen and austere expression formed on Si Yiyan’s face.
Wen Xinya pressed his hand down, in a bid to stop him from acting rashly. She was not at all bothered by Anatoli’s derisive actions. She stared at Anatoli and continued, “However, the Four Treasures of the Study is an inherited culture that belongs uniquely to our nation. I wonder if you know the significance behind it, especially since you’re born and bred in Russia. I wonder if you can put the Four Treasures of the Study to good use and allow its value to be exhibited.”
Si Yiyan did not have to intervene yet.
Anatoli exclaimed, “Great! Terrific! Rex, you’ve got some guts!” Wen Xinya was indirectly trying to say that Anatoli had spent a billion yuan on a set of items that would be worthless to him. Anatoli turned as pale as a sheet, and the veins on his face could be seen clearly.
Wen Xinya again snorted with laughter and stared at Si Yiyan. “Si, do you think Young Master Anatoli is spluttering nonsense because of how overjoyed he is? How could he know if you’ve got guts or not? I’m the one who knows best,” Wen Xinya said while kissing Si Yiyan’s lips gently.
“Yes! Only you know best,” Si Yiyan said in a low and alluring voice. He then kissed her gently on her sideburns before whispering into her ear, “I’ve pinned all my desires and hopes on you!”
