Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1275 – Bidding With Lin Yi

“Ohhhhh…” The crowd started making noises as they all stared at Mengyao, wide-eyed! Never would they have thought that the final auction item would be so intense and new! This was the princess beauty of the school, the idol of all the boys!

But, most of the students knew that they weren’t getting this kiss anytime soon- the starting price was ten thousand, and who knew how much it would turn into in just after a few bids?

Pengzhan was on the school’s board, and naturally, he was in this auction as well. He paused as he heard Yushu’s words- a kiss from Mengyao? Where was this coming from? His daughter didn’t seem to look like she knew about this, so was it Yushu causing trouble again?

Pengzhan was feeling quite troubled- if Lin Yi were to make the highest bid for the kiss, then maybe his daughter would be quiet about it, but what if somebody else got it? Pengzhan really was feeling troubled!

It seemed that if Lin Yi wasn’t going to do anything, he’d have to make a move himself! A daughter giving her father a kiss, that was no problem at all anyway.

Ding Binggong and Wang Zhifeng looked at each other- this was a school, and auctioning a kiss was a bit much, but since this was a charity event, they couldn’t really stand out to stop it now. Plus, even her father, Chu Pengzhan, wasn’t saying anything, it wasn’t their place.

Jianwen’s eyes were lit up! He didn’t come here to donate, but to see Mengyao! He heard that she was the host, and so he brought Su Taizao here with him!

Those items from before didn’t interest him- he was the young master of HOuse An, a man of the Firewolves. He had plenty of collectibles, many of them illegally smuggled. Normal things wouldn’t pique his interest.

But this last item did!

“An Bro, it’s Chu Mengyao’s kiss! Isn’t that what you want? I think this is a good chance!” Taizao said happily.

“But, Chu Mengyao doesn’t really treat me very well these days- would she be happy if I won the kiss?” Jianwen was hesitating.

“Why would she? Since she was putting her kiss out for auction, she’d already made up the mind to let other people take it!” Taizao said. “Why would she make this move if she didn’t have the mental preparation? The only one here with the money and strength to win this kiss is you, An Bro! Other people who don’t like her would feel that it was a waste to buy a kiss from her, but An Bro, it’s different for you!”

“You’re right!” Jianwen nodded deeply. “So this means that she prepared this kiss for me? Not for Lin Yi?”

“Of course! That Lin Yi, if she really wanted him to kiss her, she’d let him do it at home. Why would she come all the way out here to auction it?” Taizao analyzed.

“You’re right! I’ll start bidding then!” Jianwen nodded, full of enthusiasm.

“This is Yao Yao’s first kiss, by the way!” Yushu continued. “Any bids? Ten thousand is super cheap!”

“How much should I bid?” Jianwen whispered to Taizao. It was a difficult price- giving too little would make it look like he looked down on Mengyao, but too much would make him feel like an idiot.

“Fifty thousand? Not too much and not too little? No one will fight with you if you give out that much, too!” Taizao said.

“Alright!” Jianwen raised his hand. “I give fifty thousand!”

Mengyao frowned- she didn’t know that Jianwen had come as well. This really was quite troubling, what was Shu thinking? What if Jianwen got the kiss?

But she couldn’t do anything or scold her on the stage like that. She was the host and the daughter of Pengzhan- how ugly would that scene be? Plus, it was Tang Yun who announced it, so it would look like she was displeased with Tang Yun! Shu was talking so much, too, she didn’t want people to think they were fighting.

Who would believe if she said that she didn’t know about this kiss beforehand?

“I hear fifty thousand!” Yushu didn’t think that Mengyao’s kiss would sell for fifty thousand all of a sudden! What a high price!

“Sixty thousand.” Lin Yi didn’t know what Yushu was doing, but the Miss clearly didn’t want to give the kiss to Jianwen! He had to help out here as her bodyguard and live-in friend!

“Sixty thousand! I hear sixty thousand, are there any more bids? That brave, handsome man from before?” Yushu looked at Jianwen.

That look, along with that praise- it made Jianwen feel great all of a sudden! He assumed that Yushu was hinting that this kiss was prepared for him! He was getting excited!

Otherwise, why would she call him a brave, handsome man? Mengyao loved brave men, after all! Could it be that Yushu wanted him to be with Mengyao? At the thought, a battle vigor coursed through him. He stood up. “A hundred thousand! I’m giving a hundred thousand!”

“Ohhhh…” The crowd surprised- a kiss for a hundred thousand? Wasn’t that too crazy? But even this wasn’t the highest possible price!

The boys that were fantasizing earlier also gave up. They liked Mengyao a lot, but one hundred thousand for a kiss was too much!

“Two hundred thousand.” Lin Yi raised his hand, speaking normally. Lin Yi didn’t know if the Miss would feel awkward if he got this kiss, but he knew that she’d be quite unhappy if Jianwen got it.

The funds of Miracle Doctor Guan’s company was a bit tight now, but Lin Yi was able to bring out two hundred thousand for sure. Plus, even just that allowance that Pengzhan gave him was enough for two hundred thousand already.

However, using the money, Pengzhan gave him to buy a kiss from his daughter… Wasn’t that a bit awkward?

Pengzhan decided to give up on making bids after Lin Yi made a move- regarding his daughter and him, he really did like the notion of them getting together. If Lin Yi were the one to win the kiss, Pengzhan would be pretty happy about it.
