My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 694: Little Chaoyang Finds a Treasure 1

At that moment, the auctioneer stood on the stage introducing an auction item: the princess crown worn by Princess Kameya of Atlantis during her engagement 600 years ago.

The sapphire embedded in the crown was exceptionally rare, discovered by the Emperor of Atlantis only after searching the entire Undersea World.

Ye Junqing took a liking to it at first sight, sensing the profound affection the Emperor of that era held for Princess Kameya.

His precious daughter was also about to get engaged, and they needed just such a princess crown befitting her status.

Ye Junqing turned his head to consult with his wife, "Xingguang, what do you think?"

Ye Xinguang’s opinion coincided perfectly with Ye Junqing’s. She readily agreed, "It’s lovely. Let’s bid for it for Si Yuan’s engagement party."

Ye Junqing leaned down to ask the little tomboy, Su Chaoyang, for her opinion. "Little Cutie, what do you think?"

"Grandpa, this one’s no good!"

Ye Junqing wished he could turn back time a few seconds, just so he wouldn’t have asked the little one for her opinion and avoided having his enthusiasm doused like this.

"What’s not good about it?" he asked in a deep voice. "Isn’t it beautiful?"

"Grandpa, that sapphire isn’t good. That sapphire carries resentment, you see!"

Little darling Su Chaoyang calculated on her fingers for a good while, then said in a childlike voice, "Six hundred years ago, the Emperor of Atlantis fancied this sapphire and wanted to use it for his daughter’s crown. However, the owner of the crown at that time didn’t want to part with the sapphire, as their family intended to use it to craft a necklace for their beloved.

"To obtain the sapphire, the Emperor trumped up charges against the sapphire’s owner and confiscated their property. After the owner died, they were so deeply resentful that they refused to reincarnate and have resided within the sapphire ever since, you know."

Listening to this, Ye Junqing felt a shiver of apprehension.

"We’re not buying it!" he declared.

"Grandpa, this one is good!" Su Chaoyang, the little tomboy, said, holding the auction brochure and pointing to an unremarkable vase. The brochure contained very little information about this collectible, as there was hardly anything noteworthy to describe.

Ye Junqing looked down at the page Su Chaoyang’s plump little finger was pointing to and frowned. "It’s just a shabby vase, and not even that old—made only a hundred years ago. What’s there to collect?"

The little tomboy, Su Chaoyang, patted her small chest. "If you don’t listen to Baby, you’ll regret it soon! Anyway, this one’s good!"

Ye Xinguang, who was fond of the child, said, "If the child likes it, let’s bid on it later. It shouldn’t be expensive; we can just consider it a toy for her."

Ye Junqing examined the vase in the brochure carefully but still saw nothing special about it.

After several auction items, it was time for the unremarkable vase to be presented. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The owner of the vase, a man in his forties, was invited by the auctioneer to come on stage, holding the vase.

The auctioneer asked him, "Can you tell us a bit about this vase?"

In truth, the auction organizers didn’t think much of the vase either. However, the owner had pulled some strings to appeal to them, explaining that he was heavily in debt and desperately needed funds. The organizers’ stance was simply to see if anyone would be willing to bid on it.

After coming on stage, the owner of the vase said, "This is a family heirloom passed down from my grandfather. Before he died, my grandfather hoped we would pass it down from generation to generation. If I weren’t in urgent need of money, I wouldn’t be selling this heirloom. I hope today this vase can find someone who truly appreciates it."

The auctioneer announced, "The starting bid for the vase is 100,000!"

A shabby vase, not from a distant era, just made a hundred years ago and utterly unremarkable, yet the starting bid was 100,000 yuan? Did they really think the powerful and influential people attending this charity auction were here just to be philanthropists, or did they take them for complete fools?
