Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself Chapter 491 - She Used to Be My Woman

Chapter 491: She Used to Be My Woman

How could Mu Donglin not understand what he was seeing?

He was quite sure that s.h.i.+ Yishen was interested in Li Beinian.

Over 10 million to buy his own necklace?

Only s.h.i.+ Yishen would do such a thing.

Mu Donglin glowered and looked toward her.

Li Beinian, on the other hand, was in quite a wondrous mood.

She threw a sidelong glance and saw that Lin Kerou was obviously fuming.

And also… Mu Donglin’s inquiring look.

There was a lack of any expression on his normally stoic face as he asked, “You really like the necklace?”

Of course, this question was directed at Li Beinian.

Lin Kerou had an innate understanding, and for unknown reasons, she started to panic.

She knew more than anyone else Mu Donglin’s feelings for Li Beinian.

His question was partly a forceful probe, but mostly, it was a real question.

What was Mu Donglin’s intention now?

Li Beinian nodded and replied, “Of course I like it. It’s so pretty, and its form is so unique. It’s a lovely design. Don’t you like it too?”

Mu Donglin ignored her and called out, “12 million.”

“Woah.” Li Beinian looked at him in slight amus.e.m.e.nt. “He really did it, a whole million more.”

“Of course.” s.h.i.+ Yishen smiled, placed his arm on the back of the chair, and propped his head on his hand as he looked at Li Beinian. He said calmly in his resonant voice, “So many items, and this is the only one that catches the eye. Who wouldn’t want to try bidding for it?”

One had to admit, although s.h.i.+ Yishen wasn’t exactly stunning looking…

But his mannerism, and his aura, and his charm were all extremely enticing.

Even Li Beinian found him gradually growing on her.

Shortly, the auctioneer shouted, “CEO s.h.i.+ is offering 13 million!”

Mu Donglin’s eyes sank into gloominess as he looked at the other man. He remarked, “Is that worth it?”

s.h.i.+ Yishen shrugged casually and replied, “You please your beauty, and I will please mine.”

“Did you know her from before?” Mu Donglin finally showed a hint of emotion. “She used to be my woman.”

“No, I didn’t know her before today.” s.h.i.+ Yishen didn’t bother to look at him as he spoke. His attention was fully on Li Beinian as he smiled and looked at her affectionately. He continued breezily, “Anyone is allowed to date. We’re living in modern times and in modern society. Everyone’s on par. She’s her own person, she doesn’t belong to you.”

Li Beinian raised her brow at these words.

She didn’t think that s.h.i.+ Yishen was so driven by temperament.

The auctioneer called out in excitement again, “Eldest Young Master Mu is offering 15 million!”

“Even if you have the money, you shouldn’t be squandering it this way,” Li Beinian remarked disdainfully. “Miss Lin likes it so much?”

Her words were antagonizing.

At once, Lin Kerou could sense many pairs of eyes on her.

“He’s willing to spend the money to elevate his current woman in the presence of his ex?”

“Sheesh… So wealthy…”

…

Lin Kerou awkwardly smiled and felt smug at the same time.

Putting on an expression that was at once bashful and heartbroken, she tugged at Mu Donglin’s sleeve, whispering, “Brother Donglin, let’s just forget it.”

“18 million. s.h.i.+… eh, no.” The auctioneer was stunned. He looked at the number and then matched it, only to realize it was Li Beinian!

Sucking in a breath of air, the auctioneer immediately shouted, “It’s Miss Li! Miss Li is offering 18 million!”

The moment these words were spoken, an uproar ensued.

“What’s the meaning of this? She’s buying it herself?”

“She’s not expecting CEO s.h.i.+ to foot the bill, is she?”

“Unlikely. It’s one thing for him to willingly buy it for her, but to so shamelessly ask for it is something else!”

…

Mu Donglin raised his brow and asked, “Where are you going to get this money?”

Li Beinian gloated inwardly at his response.

Where else?

From her husband, of course!
