Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1277: Another High Bid

Chapter 1276 – Another High Bid

Jianwen was getting pissed once Lin Yi made the second bid. “Damn bodyguard. How much money would you even have, Chu Pengzhan’s the one who gave you the money, right? Buying Chu Mengyao’s kiss with that? Is he an idiot?”

“Yeah!” Taizao nodded. “This person really doesn’t know his own limits! Competing with An Bro? You could drown him in your money!”

“You’re right. Fighting An Jainwen with money? What a joke!” Jianwen’s arena was earning an obscene amount of money these days, and this was right when he was getting super-rich! He stood up once more. “Three hundred thousand! I give three hundred thousand!”

“I hear three hundred thousand!” Yushu said excitedly. “Three hundred thousand, any other bids?”

With that, she gave Xiaoxiao a look.

Xiaoxiao instantly knew what Yushu was planning- the two were of one mind, after all, the troublemaker duo! One look was all it took!

Xiaoxiao took out her phone secretly and gave Lin Yi a text. “Lin Yi, honey, push the prices up! But An Jianwen must be the one to win!”

Lin Yi was about to make a bid when his phone beeped. He looked at the text, blinking. He didn’t know what this was, but Xiaoxiao probably had a plan in mind. Xiaoxiao and Yushu wouldn’t use Mengyao’s kiss for a joke, after all.

Lin Yi smiled, raising his hand. “Three hundred fifty thousand!”

He was about to say five hundred thousand, but Xiaoxiao’s text made him change tactics. He was making it seem like he was scared of Jianwen all of a sudden.

“Haha, he’s switching to using fifty thousand now! No money anymore, huh?” Taizao said gleefully.

“That’s for sure- this is my win!” Jianwen grinned and stood up. “Four hundred thousand!”

Four hundred thousand? Lin Yi thought that this was a really high price already, and guessed that the price Jianwen could accept was probably around five hundred thousand. So he hesitated a bit before standing up, “Four hundred fifty thousand!”

“Five hundred thousand!” Jianwen said with zero hesitation whatsoever.

Lin Yi didn’t know if he should continue- he worried that Jianwen would give up if he raised the price, interrupting Yushu and Xiaoxiao’s plans!

And so he raised his head at them, seeing Xiaoxaio make an eye gesture to him, indicating the price was about there. So Lin Yi sat back down as if he was feeling really helpless, giving up.

In actuality, he wasn’t trying to win at all.

From Yushu and Xiaoxiao’s perspective, five hundred thousand was a lot already- more than that, and An Jainwen might give up! They couldn’t achieve their goal then.

And so, right when Yushu was about to say, ‘five hundred thousand, any more bids?’, someone made another bid!

It was Chu Pengzhan!

“Eight hundred thousand!” Pengzhan said flatly with a raise of his hand.

For Pengzhan, it wasn’t much. Using it for charity and buying his daughter’s kiss? It was a good price.

Lin Yi blinked- he didn’t expect that Pengzhan would stand up after he gave up!

Looking at the stunned Xiaoxiao and Yushu, he worried that Pengzhan would mess up their plans!

And so, he quickly forwarded the text Xiaoxaio sent him to Pengzhan, and because of time constraints, he just sent the entire thing along with ‘Lin Yi honey.’ Pengzhan should be able to get it.

His phone beeped after Pengzhan made the bid.

He paused when he saw the text!

“Lin Yi honey, push the prices up! But it must be An Jianwen who wins the kiss!”

“Lin Yi, honey?” Pengzhan blinked. Why did he become Lin Yi honey all of a sudden? Looking at the number, it was Lin Yi’s.

This text was either from Xiaoxiao or Tang Yun, sent to Lin Yi to tell him to give up bidding

That meant that they didn’t want to sell Mengyao’s kiss and that they had a plan? With that in mind, Pengzhan regretted making the bid. Had he scared Jianwen away?

Plus, he added three hundred thousand right away! Would he continue?

Indeed, Jianwen jumped in surprise from Pengzhan’s bid- he didn’t know what this meant? Did Pengzhan not want him to win Mengyao’s kiss, or was he testing him?

Why didn’t he bid before, and jump out all of a sudden when Lin Yi stopped?

And so, Jianwen was starting to hesitate. “Taizao, what do you think Chu Pengzhan means? Why did he suddenly make a bid?”

“I... An Bro, I think that Chu Pengzhan’s testing you, seeing just how much you care about Chu Mengyao! She’s a Miss of a rich house, five hundred thousand for her first kiss really isn’t that high a price, and so he’s trying to increase it. Meanwhile, he’s also testing just how much you like Chu Mengyao!” Taizao analyzed. “If you really did like her, you wouldn’t mind adding a couple more hundred thousand on there! If you didn’t like her, you’d probably give up!”

“Yes, that makes sense!” Jianwen patted Taizao’s shoulder. “But tell me, why didn’t Chu Pengzhan make a move when Lin Yi was making a bid? Was he favoring Lin Yi’s chances more?”

“I don’t think so- Lin YI was just pushing the bids earlier, and there was no reason for him to make a move until after he gave up,” Taizao said.

“I see, but is it really Chu Mengyao’s first kiss? Is Yushu making it up? Didn’t she say that Chu Mengyao’s first kiss was given to Lin Yi?” Jianwen asked, confused.

“Yushu’s words can’t be believed, obviously! That woman ran lies like eating rice. We’ve gotten scammed by her so many times! I feel that her first kiss might’ve been given to Lin Yi, but not Chu Mengyao’s for sure!” Taizao said with a sigh. “Can’t you see? This Chen Yushu seems to like Lin Yi, but she doesn’t want to separate from Chu Mengyao- that’s why she always wanted to be a 3P couple with Lin Yi and Chu Mengyao!”

“Oh, that seems true! This girl has a bad heart. We need to stay away from her!” Jianwen nodded and decided to step up when Yushu disappointedly said, ‘eight hundred thousand going thrice...’.
