158 The Grand Auction 3 (1/2)
Initially Mo Yan thought of bidding for these pair of pitiful wolf cubs, but he stopped when he heard the same voice again. It was the person who bid against him for the lion. Since the man already lost the lion, he decided not to bid against him for these pair of wolf cubs. Praising himself as a benevolent man, he started sipping his wine again with no intention to bid for those cubs .
It seems that the crowd was really not interested in these cubs, the bidding stopped at 1000 gold coins. The auctioneer hit the bell three times in the blink of an eye afraid that the bidder would change his mind.
” Ming, now they are no longer alone. The same goes for us.” Xia Lian spoke while pinching the little bunny's cheeks ” All those who are in the room are our family. So, we are not alone.”
Though he was not able to understand everything his sister spoke, he knew that his sister was always right about everything. So, he nodded his little head without any hesitation.
Knock!
” We have come to collect the money for the latest bid. Can we come in?” a young girl spoke in a sweet and charming voice.
” Come in.”
The door was pushed open as soon as Xia Lian's voice fell. A young woman entered the room with a tray in her hand. She was rooted at the spot on seeing the bunch of handsome men in the room. On seeing her flustered appearance, Xia Lian did not wait for her to speak and placed the thousand gold coins on the tray.
The clinking sounds of the coins snapped the woman out of her gaze.
” Y-young master, you can take the cubs with you after the auction. Here's the token and please show this token at the collection counter. Also, please excuse me for my absent mindedness earlier.”
She apologised for her behaviour to which Xia Lian just laughed and let go of the matter. The woman was just appreciating beauty and it was not a capital offence that requires any sort of punishment. Xia Lian accepted the token from her and dismissed the woman.
On the other hand, the woman was still in a daze as she closed the door of the private room. If it was any other person, they would have at least slapped her or whipped her. But the young man in there just laughed and let her go. This type of man was a rare gem, the woman sighed as she walked.
” Ladies and Gentlemen, the most awaited moment has arrived. Let's start the auction of the medicines concocted by the peerless genius doctor Wu.” the auctioneers announcement made Xia Lian choke on the water she was drinking.
