My Breathtaking CEO Wife Novel - Chapter 34
Chapter 34: Chapter 34 – My Wife Is Here
After approximately two minutes, the entire hall was filled with a unique scent. Upon smelling it, the crowd began to feel reenergized, and their exhaustion disappeared as the smell spread across the room.
“Because this water agarwood has been fossilized, the scent doesn’t emanate from this water agarwood unless you rub it in your hands. Water agarwood of this quality has only been discovered twice in history, and only once it has it been made into a bracelet. Three years ago, it was auctioned at Sotheby’s auction house, and French billionaire, Felnand, bought it for US$20 million. It seems like this was the one he bought, right?”
As Mr. Zhong finished his sentence, he turned to look at Li Tian.
Li Tian didn’t answer him, but it was obvious his silence meant that Mr. Zhong’s words were spot on. That bracelet was given to Li Tian by Felnand, in exchange for escorting him to Africa safely.
Coincidentally, Li Tian had to be in France to complete a mission, so he helped Felnand since he was going back the same way anyways. He didn’t know that the bracelet was worth this much money. Li Tian never paid attention to it, nor went to find out what kind of bracelet it was.
“20 million US dollars!”
This figure shocked everyone in the hall, including Chen Jia Jun.
He couldn’t believe that the present Li Tian had given Lin Yi was worth US$20 million, as even his own company wasn’t even worth that much.
Even Lin Yi was shocked to the core. She initially thought that the bracelet would be worth around a million dollars. Otherwise, Mr. Zhong wouldn’t have asked if he could purchase it. However, when Mr. Zhong revealed that it was actually worth US$20 million, her heart began to race.
US$20 million is more than enough money to buy two Qing Cheng International Groups.
“President Lin, keep this bracelet well. If you wear it for a long time, it will help keep you energized, happy, and healthy. Your husband gave you such a precious gift, it seems like you have a really close relationship. You really look good together.”
Mr. Zhong commented sincerely.
In today’s society, who would willingly give something worth US$20 million for nothing in return? Li Tian didn’t even boast to her about the bracelet.
Lin Yi felt a lump in her throat as she held the bracelet that was previously an object of ridicule in her hands.
She was no different from them. She had thought that it was just an ordinary stone bracelet. Who would’ve known that it would cost this much?
Lin Yi found herself in a dilemma, she didn’t know if she should return the bracelet to Li Tian or not.
Soon, jealously stirred at the sight of Lin Yi, and many ladies came forward to congratulate her. A few others even went up to Li Tian to tease him.
Li Tian explained that he really didn’t know how much the bracelet was actually worth.
Chen Jia Jun soon realized that Li Tian and Lin Yi had grabbed the attention of everyone in the hall. He felt inferior as the host, so he quickly went on stage to announce the commencement of the banquet. Only when he spoke into the microphone did everyone snapped out of it and remember that Chen Jia Jun should have been the centre of attention.
Because his position as the focus of the banquet wasn’t relevant anymore, Chen Jia Jun’s anger surged, but what else could he do?
He excused himself to the washroom and brought someone with him.
It was a man. He had bright eyes and was very muscular. It was obvious that he had gone through tough training to attain a body like this.
“Later, call a few people over…”
……
They were halfway through the banquet, and as Li Tian stood on the side, seeming quite bored, someone slowly walked towards him.
She was wearing a red camisole, which accentuated her fair skin. Upon seeing her, Li Tian was surprised, but he quickly raised his glass and said, while smiling, “Hey beautiful, I didn’t expect to see you here. Umm, your name was Tang Wan, right?”
Yup, it was the woman with a sportscar that Li Tian met the other day when he was outside the villa. She even had a little misunderstanding that Li Tian approached her that day because he was aware of her identity.
“Yeah, you’re right. I didn’t expect that you would be Lin Yi’s husband, either. Indeed, you can’t judge a book by its cover.”
“Of course, look at me, I’m so handsome. Who would’ve thought, right?”
Li Tian replied shamelessly.
What Tang Wan meant was, she didn’t expect an exceptional girl like Lin Yi would be married to him, but Li Tian took it as he was too good looking to be marrying Lin Yi.
“I see, your narcissism is proportionate to your handsomeness.”
Tang Wang said while maintaining a smile on her face.
“About that…”
Li Tian could only laugh it off. Why won’t this woman let me save my face?
The two stood in silence after their short conversation. Suddenly, Tang Wan said, “Oh yeah, you have such a gorgeous wife, why did you try to pick me up the other day? What do you say, should I go talk to her about this?”
As soon as Tang Wan finished her sentence, she shot a teasing smile at Li Tian.
Li Tian looked around and spotted someone. He then shouted from across the hall, “Honey, there’s a pretty lady here who wishes to speak to you!”
What the……
Tang Wan was dumbfounded. Shouldn’t be Li Tian be scared? How could he…Just how……
When she heard Li Tian shouting, Lin Yi turned around and made eye contact with Tang Wan. She quickly excused herself from the crowd and walked over to them.
No one knew better than Lin Yi that the power behind Yunding Hotels was Tang Wan. Nobody dared to cause trouble in front of her at the hotel, so Lin Yi was worried that Li Tian would get on Tang Wan’s bad side.
“President Tang, did you want to speak to me?”
Lin Yi asked as soon as she came over.
Tang Wan felt awkward, how could she possibly tell Lin Yi directly that Li Tian tried to pick her up the other day?
She knew how much hatred she would garner if she exposed Li Tian, especially when it involved their relationship.
“It’s nothing much. Someone was just being a little too narcissistic, so I wanted his wife to witness it.”
Lin Yi’s stomach dropped when she heard that. Did Li Tian say something wrong and offend Tang Wan?
“Hey, how was I narcissistic? It was clearly you who tried to talk to me, okay?”
He didn’t wait for Lin Yi to respond, and instead, Li Tian immediately butted into the conversation.
Hmph, playing mind games with me, huh.
Lin Yi couldn’t find the right words to say. She knew they would be doomed if Li Tian’s words were heard by other people.
Tang Wan was a little confused, how could Li Tian say this in front of his own wife?
Tang Wan felt a little tingle in her heart. She had never met someone like Li Tian in such a long time, someone who dared to talk back to her.
“So what if I tried to talk to you? I saw that you gave your wife a water agarwood bracelet. How about we go out and you give me a bracelet as well?”
“Don’t talk nonsense, my wife’s here. We can discuss that privately.”
