Chapter 1450 Going the other way, the auction ends
She paused and continued: "The business outside is also losing money every year. I thought I could sustain it, but now the situation is getting worse and worse. I want to put some of my jewelry up for auction, hoping to help dad get through the current situation first. difficulties." At this point, Phoenix's eyes flashed with firmness, as if he had made up his mind.
Lin Fan felt an inexplicable emotion well up in his heart as he listened to Fenghuang's narration. He looked at the woman in front of him who seemed cold on the outside but full of kindness on the inside, and felt the fragility and strength in her heart. His heart seemed to be hit by something, causing slight pain. This pain is not physical, but a resonance and emotion that comes from deep within.
"Okay, let's go to Nanding Auction House." Lin Fan took a deep breath and made a decision. He knew that he couldn't just sit idly by and do nothing, he had to do his part to help Phoenix, "But when you get there, you have to listen to me in everything, okay?"
“Why?” Phoenix raised his pretty face, doubts shining in his eyes. She didn't understand why Lin Fan suddenly made such a request, but she could feel the firmness and determination in Lin Fan's words.
Lin Fan looked at Phoenix's charming and naive appearance, and felt an inexplicable impulse surge in his heart again. He reached out his hand and gently pinched Phoenix's pretty nose, with a doting smile on his face, "Just listen to me. Didn't your uncle teach you to obey your husband's words?"
Fenghuang was startled by Lin Fan's sudden move. She looked at Lin Fan with wide eyes and a slight blush on her cheeks. She never thought that Lin Fan would treat her so affectionately, and she was at a loss for a moment.
"You...I'm not used to you acting like this all of a sudden." Phoenix turned his head away, pouted his lips pretending to be angry, and said with a slightly trembling voice. She didn't know why she felt shy and nervous, but there was an inexplicable joy and expectation deep in her heart.
Lin Fan couldn't help but feel amused secretly when he saw Phoenix's reaction. He knew he might have been a little abrupt, but he didn't regret his actions. Because he knew that from this moment on, the relationship between him and Phoenix would undergo subtle changes. He is willing to do his best to protect this kind and fragile woman, no matter what difficulties and challenges he will face in the future.
"Okay, don't be angry. I promise you, I will listen to you when we get to the auction house." Lin Fan comforted softly, his eyes full of tenderness and determination, "Let's face the next thing together. "
Fenghuang listened to Lin Fan's words, and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated. She turned her head and looked at Lin Fan's affectionate eyes, as if melted by the tenderness in them. She nodded gently, with a faint smile on her lips, "Yes, let's do it together."
Nanding Auction House is located in a prosperous area of the city. The building is simple and elegant, revealing a strong artistic atmosphere. Lin Fan and Fenghuang walked into the door of the auction house and were immediately attracted by the sight in front of them. The auction house was crowded with people, and there was a dazzling array of precious works of art and jewelry.
“It’s so lively here!” Phoenix exclaimed, her eyes shining with excitement. Although she was once a young lady from a famous family, this was the first time she came to the auction house in person like this. She is full of curiosity and expectation about everything around her.
“Well, this is indeed a lively place.” Lin Fan nodded with a calm smile on his face. He looked around, secretly observing the surrounding situation. Although it looked peaceful on the surface, he knew that he had to be careful in a place like this to avoid accidents.
The two of them walked through the crowd and arrived at the front desk of the auction house. Lin Fan explained his purpose to the staff and handed over his business card. The staff member took the business card and looked at it, with a respectful look on his face immediately, "It turns out to be Mr. Lin and Miss Fenghuang, disrespectful! Please come with me to the VIP room for a short rest. The auction will start soon."
Under the guidance of the staff, Lin Fan and Fenghuang came to the VIP room. The VIP room is luxuriously and elegantly decorated, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the entire auction house. The two of them sat on the soft sofa, tasting the fragrant tea brought by the staff, and quietly waited for the auction to begin.
Not long after, the auction officially kicked off. As pieces of precious artwork and jewelry were displayed, the atmosphere gradually reached a climax. Lin Fan and Fenghuang were also nervously watching the bidding of each item, hoping to find the right opportunity to take action.
“The starting price for this jade pendant is ten thousand taels of gold!” the auctioneer announced loudly.
After saying that, he seemed to be in a very happy mood. He took a step forward and jumped away lightly, like an innocent young man. Phoenix was a little at a loss by his words and stood there blankly, not knowing how to respond for a moment. She only felt that her heartbeat was gradually speeding up, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. She quietly raised her head and glanced at the back, only to find that he was walking forward on his own, seemingly unaware of her embarrassment. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in her heart, a little shy and a little sweet. She lowered her head, her pretty face filled with blush little by little, like a peach blossom blooming in the sunset, so delicate and charming.
It took a long time for her to come back to her senses from this trance. She shook her head slightly, trying to regain consciousness. Then, she raised her head, looked at the figure who was about to disappear from sight, and let out a happy cry. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with a little smile, as if bright stars were shining into her eyes. She stepped up to catch up, her voice charming and gentle: "Fool, Nanding Auction House is not over there! You are going in the wrong direction!"
Lin Fan was stunned for a moment when he heard Phoenix's call, then turned around and scratched his head in embarrassment. He looked at Phoenix, a trace of apology flashed in his eyes: "Ah, did you really go wrong? I thought..."
"What do you think?" Phoenix walked up to him and looked at him with a half-smile, "You are our guide, how could you make such a stupid mistake?"
"Yes, yes, I was wrong." Lin Fan quickly admitted his mistake, "Then let's go there quickly, so as not to delay the auction."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. They walked side by side to Nanding Auction House, chatting and laughing along the way, as if everything around them was eclipsed.
Nanting Auction House is located in a prosperous area of the city, with a majestic appearance, like a splendid palace. The two walked into the auction house and were immediately shocked by the sight in front of them. The interior space of the auction house was extremely spacious, with thousands of horizontal rows of seats neatly arranged, and the seats were filled with elegantly dressed guests. These guests were all distinguished people. They were chatting in low voices or quietly watching the exhibits on the stage. The entire auction house seemed lively and orderly.
The bird's nest-like roof is dotted with countless star-like lights, which emit a soft and bright light, making the entire auction house look more majestic. This luxurious atmosphere made the two of them feel a little restrained, but at the same time they were full of anticipation and excitement.
They looked around and found that although these guests were all of noble status, they were all maintaining a rare silence at this moment. No one was making any noise or moving around. They seem to be very concerned about their image and taste, and are afraid of being disrespectful on such a grand occasion. This kind of self-discipline and reserve made the two of them respectful and looking forward to the next auction session.
At this moment, in the special VIP room on the second floor of the auction house, several big figures with even more terrifying identities were standing. These characters are either overlords who control a party's forces, or businessmen with huge wealth. Their presence filled the entire VIP room with a mysterious and solemn atmosphere. Because of the presence of these characters, neither Princess Jinny nor the famous Nalan Kang of the Nalan family were qualified to enter the half-step. It can be seen that his status is respected and his strength is terrifying.
However, despite their prominent status, these big figures all maintain a rare humility and low-key at the moment. They watched everything in the auction house quietly, occasionally exchanging a few words in a low voice. Their eyes are deep and sharp, as if they can penetrate all appearances and see the essence of things. This composure and wisdom made the two of them feel more awe and admiration. They know that these big shots are the real masters of the world. It is already a great honor for me to have the opportunity to participate in such a grand event.
As time went by, the auction gradually reached its climax. Precious works of art, rare treasures, and powerful magic props appeared one after another, and every bid aroused fierce competition. However, no matter how fierce the bidding was, the big shots always remained calm and calm, and every move they made revealed endless majesty.
Lin Fan and Fenghuang sat in the corner of the auction house and witnessed the shock of all this. Although they also participated in part of the bidding, they mostly observed and learned. They know that they still have a long way to go compared with these big shots.
After the auction, the two walked out of Nanding Auction House side by side. Night has fallen, the lanterns have begun to turn on, the shops on both sides of the street have lit up their lights, and the whole city has been enveloped in a bright brilliance.
“Today’s experience is really unforgettable.” Phoenix said with emotion, “The style and magnanimity of those big shots are really impressive.”
"Yes." Lin Fan nodded in agreement, "However, we will reach that level one day."
