Chapter 2026 [2026] If I don’t speak first in spring, which insect dares to make a sound?

On the other side, Ye Feng had no idea that so many stories were happening on the other side of the Sotheby’s auction house headquarters.

He just clearly felt that after the Duke of Buckingham and little William surrounded him, there were obviously more celebrities and wealthy people coming to greet him and hand over their business cards.

Moreover, when he entered the auction house headquarters and the auction officially began, the people around him were obviously paying special attention to his every move.

Whenever Ye Feng showed interest in a collection, everyone would unanimously hold off on bidding first to see his reaction, and only make a bid after they were sure he did not want to.

Even a feminine man from Goryeo who looked very showy would pay attention to him from time to time.

When his eyes met Ye Feng’s, the other party was stunned for a moment, then showed a slightly flattering smile.

Ye Feng couldn’t help but laugh.

He looked at Prince Anjou beside him and whispered softly, “It seems that I have become a celebrity in the British Empire.”

Anjou Prince glanced at him and naturally rested his head on his shoulder. “More than a celebrity, you are almost the top star in the British Empire, okay?”

“In the past, everyone in the British Empire thought that you relied on our Anjou Duke family. Now everyone thinks that I have a good vision and chose you as a potential stock early on.”

Ye Feng smiled and hugged her waist, lowering his voice and asking, “Is this a compliment to me?”

Anjou Prince leaned closer to him and smiled gently, “No, I’m just describing an objective fact.”

“Meeting you, my dear, is the greatest luck in my life.”

“Why do you confess your feelings when you don’t agree with her?” Ye Feng turned his head and kissed her forehead gently. When he was about to stroke her back, the charity auction host in the middle of the stage suddenly said, “Next, auction item No. 16, “Along the River During the Qingming Festival.” “‘Along the River During the Qingming Festival’ is one of the ten famous paintings handed down from ancient times in Longguo. It was created by the Northern Song Dynasty painter Zhang Zeduan. The painting is in the form of a long scroll, vividly recording the urban appearance of Longguo’s Northern Song Dynasty capital called Bianjing in the 24.8th century and the living conditions of people from all walks of life. The painting is 528.7 cm wide and cm long. It is painted on silk and has extremely high historical and artistic value.”

“The whole painting can be divided into three sections. The first section depicts the suburban scenery. The middle section is centered on ‘Shangtu Bridge’ and depicts the Bian River and the scenery on both sides. The last section describes the streets in the city. The characters, livestock, transportation tools and buildings in the painting are rich in details, and truly reproduce the life of the capital Bianjing during the heyday of the Northern Song Dynasty in the 12th century. There are more than 500 characters in the painting, interspersed with various plots…”

“This collection is of great collection value. The starting price is 4500 million British coin (equivalent to 4 million Dragon currency). Each bid must not be less than 100 million British coin… Now, the bidding begins.”

Ye Feng immediately withdrew his hand from Prince Anjou, raised the bidding board, and called out a price: “4600 million British Empire coins!”

“Very good, VIP No. 12 offers 4600 million British Empire Coins. 4600 million, is there a higher price?” Upon hearing this, the auctioneer on the stage immediately began to passionately mobilize everyone’s emotions.

“According to our royal appraiser, the market value of this painting, Along the River During the Qingming Festival, is about 1.2 million yen. Are there any VIPs willing to pay a higher price?”

After arousing everyone’s emotions, the auctioneer thought that there would be extremely fierce bidding next.

But to her surprise, the scene was completely silent.

Everyone just took a look at Ye Feng who made the bid, and then they all turned their eyes away, completely acting as invisible people.

Even Park Tianyi, who was about to raise his bid, quickly and silently put his bidding board back after turning around and seeing that it was Ye Feng who raised the bid.

The auctioneer was stunned for a moment.

After repeating it several times and making sure that no one dared to bid, he looked at Ye Feng and slammed the hammer heavily: “Okay, 4600 million Japanese Yen coins. Let us congratulate VIP No. 12 for winning the “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” at a price of 4600 million!”

Warm applause quickly broke out at the scene!
