Evil Husband, Glutton Wife: Buy Miss Piggy, Get Free Little Buns Chapter 792 – You Have Nothing That Interests Me (2)

However, the person she wanted to thank and dedicate the award the most wasn’t here to share her joy and celebrate with her. 

‘Beixuan. I won. I made you very happy, right?’ 

She couldn’t stop the tears that rimmed her eyes. More than anything, she wanted to see Tang Beixuan and hear his voice. Every day that passed without him, Li Meili feared that there would be a day she would forget what he sounded like. Seeing his pictures surely made her remember what he looked like when he was still with her, but his voice… it felt like a distant memory to her. 

After a little while, she forced to blink her tears away and gave a generic speech instead. She thanked everyone who supported her, who believed in her when she couldn’t even trust herself. 

“I really didn’t think I would win tonight, considering the other entries are also spectacular and beautiful in their own way. But if I were to thank the person who believed in me, who never doubted that I could reach the place I am now today… please let me thank you, my dear Moyu.” She raised her award to show it proudly to her best friend.  “Perhaps I did a good deed in my past life for me to be able to gain a valuable friend in this lifetime.” 

The award in her hands… she still couldn’t believe it. Her dreams, her love, her heart— she put them all in that dress. It was just too bad she also needed to part from it tonight, never to see it again. 

This time, the black dress was now in full display in the middle of the stage using a mannequin along with the other three dresses, allowing everyone to give it a good look. Since Liu Ruoyan was disqualified, the dress Xing Yiyue had presented earlier was nowhere to be seen. 

Li Meili’s heart hurt just thinking that she would need to let it go. If only she could have the right to keep it, she didn’t mind buying the dress with her own money. 

Seeing the sadness that suddenly flashed in his wife’s eyes, how could Zhang Jiren not know what Li Meili was thinking at that moment? He might be her fake husband but that didn’t mean everything he had done for her was under pretense. 

Because he cared too much about his wife, Zhang Jiren knew that she didn’t want to lose the dress. The longing and pain in her eyes, he understood them. On top of the stage, his wife looked so beautiful but her forlorn expression made his heart ache. 

The award was indeed important for Li Meili, and it was the first official recognition she received. He might not be the person she wanted to share it with— that she would be happier if Tang Beixuan was here with her instead of him, but Zhang Jiren was elated to be the one by her side right now. 

The auction for the winning dress had started. Li Meili, along with the other three designers remained on stage and waited for their entries to be auctioned to everyone. Because part of the sales of the dress would go to charity, they didn’t have a starting price, although they were expected to rise according to the designer’s name and reputation. 

“Last but not the least, the Black Nightingale’s winning entry, the ‘Dryad of the Trees’. Everyone, please feel free to bid.” 

The moment the auctioneer gave them the go-signal, almost every person within the hall wanted to get their hands on that beautiful dress. 

“$ 10,000!” 

“$ 20,000!”

“$ 50,000!” 

The bidding continued until someone raised his number and raised the bid significantly. 

“$100,000!” Feng Tianyi bid, ignoring his wife’s blatant stare at his face like he just lost his mind by participating at the auction. 

His participation instantly stirred a commotion inside the hall. After all, he was known as a wife-spoiler devil, would this mean he wanted to give the dress to the empress?

However, that didn’t mean everyone would allow him to get the rare Black Nightingale’s winning dress. If Li Meili’s usual dress cost a fortune, her winning dress was something everyone would want to possess! 

Despite the massive tag price that continued to rise, it didn’t stop everyone from bidding on it. 

“$1 million!” Feng Tianyi raised his number again, making Tang Moyu facepalm due to his absurdity. 

“Tianyi, what’s with you? Why do you suddenly want to buy Meili’s dress? Do you plan to give it to someone?” she asked him suspiciously. 

Feng Tianyi frowned, knowing what was going on in her mind. 

“Fengyan just told me recently that black wedding gowns are getting popular nowadays and I think black suits you well, darling,” he said in defense. “Since Meili makes her dresses using your measurements, I believe the dress would suit you well, don’t you think? I really want to see my wife in a wedding dress in whatever color possible.” 

The devil and the empress had become a well-known power couple ever since they announced their marriage during Xiao Xing’s inauguration. Many men who l.u.s.ted after Tang Moyu for a long time raised the bid just to spite Feng Tianyi, while some women could only look at the empress as she was being pampered and doted on by her husband. 

The price continued to rise as the auction carried on. 

“$ 5 million!” Feng Tianyi raised his number again. He wasn’t willing to give up just yet. He didn’t mind throwing money at this rate, if that meant he would be able to please his wife.
