Chapter 1524: Chapter 1529: Buying a Woman at a Sky-high Price 5
"Look outside," Beiming Han suddenly said to her.
Confused, Gu Qingxin looked outside. Drones were circling outside and then a message appeared in the clear blue sky.
For my darling Xin’er, happy birthday...
Followed by a red heart.
Gu Qingxin was stunned for a moment before she excitedly spun around and asked, "You knew it was my birthday today?!"
"Silly girl, how could I not know?" Beiming Han ruffled her hair and pulled her into his embrace.
"..."
"Sorry, I’m not very romantic. I thought for a long time about what to give you, so I decided that today, the gift would be me." Beiming Han took her hand and kissed it gently.
"You clearly didn’t put in any effort. Where’s the gift box? Where’s the ribbon? I can’t even unwrap my gift." Gu Qingxin clung to him, frowning discontentedly.
"Hmm... I’ll let you unwrap it tonight." Beiming Han’s forehead rested against hers.
Gu Qingxin, "..."
Her heart raced, and her cheeks started to heat up...
"Where are we going now?" Gu Qingxin asked.
"I have another gift for you today." Beiming Han kissed her softly.
Looking outside again, Gu Qingxin saw a luxury cruise ship. The ship was huge; she had never seen such a big ship before.
After the helicopter landed, Beiming Han placed a mask that was the same color as her dress on her face, covering her small face and only leaving her mouth exposed.
Beiming Han put on a mask too. It was a couple’s set. His mask was a dark blue color, with gold trim and a feather on the side.
After putting on the masks, Beiming Han took Gu Qingxin’s hand and they got off the helicopter.
Today, Beiming Han only brought Ye Qi. Neither Huangfu Ye nor Bai Jingqing had come. Ye Qi only brought one bodyguard, both wearing simple silver masks.
The four of them were ushered into the huge ship. Once inside, Gu Qingxin was astounded by the luxuriousness of the cruise ship.
It was even more luxurious than the most opulent five-star hotel in Ming City, with gold decorations everywhere. The carpet they were walking on was so plush it didn’t make a sound.
The guide also wore a mask. All along the way, they hadn’t encountered another person.
The cruise ship felt strangely eerie.
Gu Qingxin had many questions, but she didn’t voice them. Not until they were led to a door, behind which was a small but still luxurious suite with a white sofa. Outside the window, first thing Gu Qingxin noticed was a circular stage.
Looking across, she saw windows just like theirs but she couldn’t see inside.
She guessed that the people in the rooms across also couldn’t see them.
Is this...
Suddenly, Gu Qingxin thought of the word "auction."
Because she had been through one before...
Her heart tightened, and Beiming Han felt her hand tremble slightly. "Don’t be afraid."
Gu Qingxin turned to him and asked, "Is this an auction?"
"Yes, your gift is among the items up for auction tonight." Beiming Han’s lips curled up into a smile.
"..."
"Can I say no? Having you is enough for me. I want to go home."
Gu Qingxin didn’t like this place. It gave her a suffocating feeling. She didn’t know why, but it made her very uncomfortable.
"We are already here, be good, you’ll definitely like it." Beiming Han pulled her hand and made her sit down.
