Chapter 689 - 677
"Do you dare say Qiqi isn’t the most beautiful?" Yang Xiaoqing immediately disagreed; she was Qiqi’s number one fan, and no one was allowed to say a bad word about her!
"She’s beautiful but she’s still just my sister-in-law. Yang Xiaoqing, what I mean is, whether Qiqi is beautiful or not has nothing to do with me, it only concerns my big brother. In my eyes, you’re the most beautiful!" Gu Lizhe finally said what had been on his mind.
Yang Xiaoqing, "..."
Only after the fact did she realize what had happened, and she silently turned around to look at that ordinary-looking stone.
"What do you mean by not speaking? Do you like me or not?" Gu Lizhe didn’t want to drag it on any longer; he wanted to clarify their relationship.
"How could you pressure someone like this to say if they like you? Aren’t you embarrassed?"
"There’s nothing wrong with me liking you, and wanting you to like me back isn’t embarrassing either. Qingqing, I really like you. I’ll give you anything you want. Can you give me a chance?" Gu Lizhe took her hand and pleaded.
"Alright, I can give you a chance." Yang Xiaoqing glanced at him sideways.
"I really... ah?"
Now it was Gu Lizhe’s turn to be dumbfounded.
"What’s the matter? Now that I agreed, are you regretting it?" Yang Xiaoqing, having been hurt by Han Yang, was feeling somewhat insecure. She didn’t understand what was wrong with her that made Han Yang treat her like that.
"Anyone who regrets is a fool! Qingqing, I like you, I will definitely treat you well!" Gu Lizhe excitedly rushed over to hug the girl and kissed her.
Yang Xiaoqing, "..."
...
The price of the Heavenly Stone had already been bid up to five billion, and the other bidders were relentlessly keeping up.
Rong Yuan remained calm, continuously raising the bid until the price for the Heavenly Stone reached eight billion.
The opponent was starting to hesitate, as eight billion was indeed a very high price.
Rong Yuan and Qiao Qiqi didn’t hesitate at all. To them, this stone was a lifesaver, so no matter how much it cost, even if they bankrupted themselves, they were determined to win it!
In the end, the Heavenly Stone was won by Rong Yuan and Qiao Qiqi for eight billion.
When the hammer fell, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
The siblings exchanged a glance and smiled.
They knew that both of them had been really nervous just now.
"As long as we secured it, we can rest easy now," Rong Yuan held his sister’s hand, as if to comfort her as well as himself.
Qiao Qiqi laughed, "Brother, so you do get nervous too."
"What a silly thing to say, who doesn’t get nervous?"
"But I’ve never seen you nervous, Brother."
"That’s because you didn’t notice. Every time I see you, I’m nervous, too. When I prepare gifts for you, I’m nervous, fearing you might not like them."
Qiao Qiqi was somewhat taken aback looking at her brother, surprised that he would get nervous because of her.
"I love all the gifts you prepare because what I see isn’t the gift itself but the thought behind it. How could I not like it?"
"I know, so I won’t be nervous anymore." Rong Yuan was initially uncertain, but after spending so much time together, he certainly understood his sister’s thoughts now.
Gold and silver jewelry she loved, a single feather she cherished, because what she saw was the intention.
But some people just wouldn’t understand that.
...
The siblings had achieved their goal for the day, and both were very happy.
After the auction ended, they each returned to their rooms. Staff came to their rooms to confirm the auction items with the buyers, delivering them and collecting payments.
