Chapter 887: Chapter 887: Bear the Consequences
Ding dong.
Li Feng stepped off the elevator, while Li Xinyue seemed somewhat conflicted.
"What, having second thoughts now?"
Li Feng stopped and turned to look at Li Xinyue, who looked up at him: "Huh, don’t taunt me, Missy here isn’t afraid of anything."
Li Xinyue puffed her chest and walked straight off the elevator.
She was somewhat caught in a bind now, who knew that a moment of anger would escalate to this point.
Two hours ago, at the diamond auction.
What she had told Li Feng wasn’t just any excuse; she really was about to have a birthday, and her father had promised she could bid on a diamond as her birthday present.
But her card wasn’t a five-star Black Gold Card, capable of unlimited overdrafts. A billion Federation Coins was her entire fortune, considering even the overdraft.
As it turned out, Li Feng spent three billion Federation Coins to purchase the Eye of Horus. Although Li Xinyue was angry, she couldn’t help that Li Feng was incredibly wealthy; besides, it wasn’t only Li Feng bidding.
She had no choice but to bid on something else.
Yet every time she made a bid, that jerk would also bid, which nearly drove Li Xinyue crazy.
Furious and ashamed, Li Xinyue glared at Li Feng and said, "If you’re brave, buy up all the diamonds today."
Li Feng just laughed casually and replied.
"That’s exactly what I intend to do."
Li Xinyue didn’t expect such a response from Li Feng, so she said provocatively: "Alright, as long as you buy up all the diamonds today, tonight you can do as you please with me."
Li Feng turned to look at the fuming Li Xinyue.
This Li Xinyue was indeed a great beauty, coming from one of the four great families, and her mother must have been a beauty as well.
Li Xinyue not only had an outstanding figure but also a sweet and beautiful face, comparable to Wang Jin’er, though the two had completely different temperaments.
Li Feng simply gave her two words.
Heh-heh.
Li Xinyue was also infuriated by Li Feng’s heh-heh: "I’m not joking; if you really buy all the diamonds today, you can do whatever you want tonight, but...!"
"If you don’t manage to buy all the diamonds, you have to sell me that Eye of Horus, but I only have a billion."
When Li Feng heard Li Xinyue’s ’but’, he just chuckled: "You’re saying you’re worth two billion Federation Coins!"
With Li Feng turning his head to glance her over, Li Xinyue’s face blushed deeply, yet she wasn’t embarrassed to lower her gaze; instead, she stubbornly met Li Feng’s eyes.
"Two billion is an understatement. I’m Li Tiancheng’s daughter, and I haven’t even had a boyfriend yet. Do you still feel you’re losing out?"
Li Xinyue bit her lip.
"So, are you going to do it or not? Or are you just not up to it?"
Li Feng chuckled.
"Since you’re willing to gamble, I’ll accompany you, but you might end up regretting it."
"Hmph, if Missy can’t handle it, then let’s wait and see."
Since Li Xinyue dared to bet, she wasn’t doing it solely out of anger. There were over a hundred diamond pieces on display today, including diamonds that the diamond families held in their reserves, along with many diamond jewelry pieces collected by major collectors.
The auction of the Eye of Horus could only be considered a minor climax; among the many diamonds to be auctioned today, it ranked only tenth.
And if all the diamond jewelry pieces were auctioned off tonight, they would fetch at least thirty billion Federation Coins, and if they were all like the Eye of Horus, the price could double.
Converted to Flame Country Currency, it would be at least over twenty billion.
She hadn’t heard of anyone willing to spend over twenty billion to buy a bunch of diamonds; even her father wouldn’t do such a thing.
In the following hour, Li Feng was on a rampage; initially some people resisted and competed with him, but later on, almost no one dared to contend.
Because Li Feng was spending money too fiercely, the upper-class elites present were all stunned. This mysterious man from a mysterious country had left them with too many surprises.
Just like Owen, who was initially intimidated, these people wanted to see just how wealthy he really was.
Eventually, Li Feng stopped bidding altogether and simply had the value estimated, buying everything in bulk.
The auctioneer was dumbfounded because he had never encountered a situation like this.
In the end, after consulting with higher-ups, with no competition, Li Feng bought out all the diamonds at the jewelry exhibition auction.
Li Xinyue was also dumbstruck, watching as Li Feng directly took out fifty billion Federation Coins to buy everything, and afterward, the two appeared at the hotel.
As a penalty for her impulsiveness.
Li Feng pushed open the door of the presidential suite, and after a moment of internal struggle, Li Xinyue still stepped into the suite.
Li Feng walked into the living room, picked up a bottle of wine from the cabinet, poured himself a glass, then sat on the sofa, raising his eyes to look at Li Xinyue, draped in a purple evening gown, her tall figure with pronounced curves.
"Not coming over to sit?"
Li Feng patted the seat beside him.
Li Xinyue bit her lip, looked up at Li Feng: "Who exactly are you?"
Li Xinyue really couldn’t figure out this man in front of her. Without batting an eye, he spent fifty billion Federation Coins buying up over a hundred diamond jewelry pieces; even the tycoons of Central Island wouldn’t be this extravagant.
"Does it matter?"
"But you did say, tonight you’d let me do as I please, and now I’m asking you to sit down, yet you won’t listen. I’m really questioning your sincerity!"
"But never mind, you’re a woman, and women can always go back on their words; even if you’re Li Tiancheng’s daughter, there’s no exception."
"You can leave now."
Li Feng raised his glass, seemingly indifferent to whether Li Xinyue would stay.
Li Feng’s demeanor left Li Xinyue a bit flustered; what did he mean by this, did she have no charm at all?
If it were any other man, he would have jumped at the chance, wouldn’t he? She was, after all, the daughter of the richest man in the East Continent, and many people wanted to have her.
And now she was being looked down upon.
If she just turned and left, then she wouldn’t be Li Xinyue; was she afraid anyway?
Li Xinyue directly walked to Li Feng’s side, her graceful posture seated next to him. The evening gown was already form-fitting, and when she sat down, it tightened, outlining a most tempting curve.
"I came over, and I’ve said do as you please with me; what do you want to do?"
Li Xinyue’s heartbeat quickened, her face slightly warm, but she still maintained her elegant and noble demeanor.
Would he dare to touch me?
She was, after all, the daughter of Li Tiancheng, the richest man in the East Continent; touching her entailed weighing the consequences.
Li Feng turned, looked at the defiant Li Xinyue, who was raising her head, chest out in challenge, and placed a hand under her chin.
His lips curled with a roguish smile.
"Are you betting that I wouldn’t dare touch you?"
Li Xinyue didn’t back down, locking eyes with Li Feng: "A bet is a bet, I’ve said you could do as you please tonight, so I won’t go back on my word."
"Of course, if you sleep with me, you’ll have to bear the consequences."
