99 A Bargain (2/2)

Her head quickly turned over to face him. Why did he do that? Her mouth was wide open and she couldn't control her expression. It was a very beautiful painting but the amount of money it costed was enormous.

”Is there anyone who would like to bid more?” Wendy asked.

Only silence greeted her. Although the painting was possibly worth more than a million, n.o.body wanted to outbid Chae Minhyun. They wanted him to get the piece peacefully. After all, in the end, all of them would lose anyways. There was no point in trying.

”Going once. Going twice. Going three times,” Wendy said. She hit the gavel against her stand, signalling that the item was sold. ”Blossom of Love painting sold to number one, Mr. Chae Minhyun.”

Everyone clapped. Some were astonished by the CEO's large wallet while other looked with envy. Minhyun calmly leaned his chair. He was satisfied with his purchase. Although it wasn't the best purchase for the plan, it was for her, and that made it worth every penny.

Yoona lightly hit him in the shoulder. ”Why did you do that?”

”I saw it in your eyes. I bought the painting for you.”

”I-I-uh-argh.” She couldn't even speak. n.o.body in this entire planet had bought her something so expensive. After all, was she even worth a million dollars? Although she wanted to retaliate saying that she didn't mean to make him compelled to buy it, the purchase was already made. The painting was officially hers. If she were to complain then that would ruin the kind heart behind the purchase.

Plus, it wasn't like she didn't want it either. The painting was very nice. She was worried how an expensive painting would fare in her home, especially since she wouldn't top security when she moved back, but nonetheless she was grateful.

She let out a deep sigh and warm smile crept up on her face. ”Thank you.”

”No problem,” Minhyun said. ”It was a bargain too. A small amount compared to how much I was willing to spend.”

One million dollars is a small amount? Yoona rolled her eyes. ”Clearly a small amount. Wow. So cheap.”

Minhyun chuckled. ”For a small bit of your happiness, anything is possible.”

”Gross. Too cheesy,” she teased.

”But you like it,” he mumbled. The deep timbre of his voice arose gooseb.u.mps up her skin.

Yoona stayed silent before shaking her head with an embarra.s.sed smile. ”I do.”
