Chapter 441: Pampered


    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 impable; a lively dragonfly perching on


    top a pink lotus flower, with wings so soft as if to p 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 ced on the auction table, a smallmotion was stirred up in the crowd. It appeared


    to be very popr, especially among thedies.


    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 iparable 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 newpetitor and realized it was Lu Xingzhi. Thedies were


    looking at the woman sitting beside Lu Xingzhi with envy.


    Lu Xingzhi was perhaps at the auction to make some purchases for his partner. Amongst the Masters


    of Jindo, Lu Xingzhi was considered the one with the lowest profile. He stayed in the military most of


    the time and did not socialize as much as the others in Jindo City; only a few people in Jindo City had


    ever seen him personally. Yet, his rumors were as plenty as the rest of the gang.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    Between the five Masters of Jindo, Master Liang had recently married the daughter of the Luo family;


    Master Gu was always abroad and even more secretive than Master Lu; Master Zhou was a yboy,


    changing his partner regrly while Master Chen had been seen with a couple of different women over


    the years.


    Only Master Lu was never seen with a femalepanion. He was always seen alone, unapanied


    to any events, as his buddies attended with their partners.


    Undeniably, the girl in question was lucky to be spoiled by Master Lu.


    After a few rounds of bidding, the hairpin''s price was raised a little above the market price. Plenty gave


    up right away, leaving only a few wealthydies in a bidding war with Lu Xingzhi. He kept at it and


    raised the price higher and higher, until thest of the bidder stopped raising her card.


    Lu Xingzhi got what he wanted.


    "Squeezing his fortune dry just to see Jiang Yao''s smile!" Chen Xuyao returned after his phone call and


    teased Lu Xingzhi. The hairpin was auctioned off at twice its market price; with Lu Xingzhi the one


    purchasing it, all because Jiang Yao liked it.


    Lu Xingzhi was expressionless, he replied, "Dry, eh?"


    Jiang Yaoughed with her hand over her mouth. "Obviously, Brother Lu has a little more money than


    that!" She was not familiar with Lu Xingzhi''s other assets, but she was very sure that he had much


    more cash in his bank ount than what he spent today.
