At the moment, a hairpin was being auctioned off. It was not an antique, but it came off the table of a master jeweler. The design was beautiful, the workmanship impeccable; a lively dragonfly perching on top a pink lotus flower, with wings so soft as if to flap in unison in the winds.
The maker himself was absent from the auction but had sent this hairpin over as an auction item. The moment it was placed on the auction table, a small commotion was stirred up in the crowd. It appeared to be very popular, especially among the ladies.
Lu Xingzhi looked at Jiang Yao and felt a light tremble from her hand.
"Do you like it?" Lu Xingzhi whispered. She looked at him earnestly and nodded, like a kid asking for candy; his heart instantly softened. "Just go for whatever you like, after all you have control over the purse. If there's not enough money, it means that I am not capable enough."
Jiang Yao really liked the hairpin. It was love at first sight, having caught her attention instantly. With the pink lotus flower and the lively dragonfly, everything looked so lovely.
"It's not worth it if it's too expensive." Even though it looked amazing and came out of the hands of a master, its value was still incomparable to an actual antique.
Lu Xingzhi gave Jiang Yao's hand a light pinch and raised his number card.
The rest of the bidders looked at their new competitor and realized it was Lu Xingzhi. The ladies were looking at the woman sitting beside Lu Xingzhi with envy.
