190 One Billion

When Gu Dai witnessed this, she felt a headache coming on. Initially, she had only Song Ling to contend with; now Zhou Ci had joined the fray.

As these thoughts crossed Gu Dai's mind, her phone buzzed. It was a message from Zhou Ci.

Zhou Ci: If you like it, I'll win the bid and give it to you.

Gu Dai replied: No need. If I want it, I'll bid myself.

After sending the message, fearing Zhou Ci might ignore her request, she quickly added another.

Gu Dai: Don't bid!

Song Ling was unaware of the conversation between Gu Dai and Zhou Ci. However, seeing them engrossed in their phones, his irritation grew.

Taking a deep breath and adjusting his tie to ease his tension, Song Ling raised his sign and declared, "600 million."

Zhou Ci was about to place another bid, but after seeing Gu Dai's messages, he hesitated and reluctantly withdrew his hand.

Without missing a beat, Gu Dai shouted, "1 billion!"

Instantly, the room was abuzz.

"Oh my God, it's up to a billion."

"I thought the initial 80 million was already high. This billion is astronomical!"

"Miss Gu surely has deep pockets. Does this mean collaborating with their company has potential? I might need to call a shareholders' meeting when I get back!"

...

Song Ling took a deep breath, surprised at the lengths Gu Dai would go to for Su Ting.

One would think that while the necklace was beautiful, 100 million was already a high price. Yet, Gu Dai had bid a whopping billion!

Meeting Song Ling's icy gaze head-on, Gu Dai inquired, "Are you still bidding?"

Song Ling didn't respond, just kept his eyes on Gu Dai.

Seeing this, Gu Dai continued, "It's alright if you want to bid higher. I can keep going. I'm determined to win this necklace."

Song Ling's face turned ashen. He was tempted to raise his bid, but pulling out that sum would greatly affect his company's operations.

The host, regaining his composure, wore an dazzling smile. Seeing no further bids, he excitedly declared, "1 billion once, 1 billion twice, 1 billion three times, sold! The necklace goes to Miss Gu Dai!"

Confetti cannons went off, and the venue erupted in cheers!

The happier the crowd seemed, the darker Song Ling's expression became. He shot Gu Dai a cold glare.

Upon witnessing Song Ling's demeanor, Zhou Ci shook his head and texted him.

Zhou Ci: Dude, your way of grabbing a girl's attention is incredibly childish. Plus, it's asking for a punch!

Song Ling snapped back: Who told you I'm trying to get Gu Dai's attention?

Zhou Ci quickly replied: Both my eyes did!

With a huff, Song Ling responded: Then both your eyes must be blind. Even if everyone in the world died, leaving only Gu Dai, I wouldn't give her a second glance!

Zhou Ci tutted and shook his head: I hope you can still say that in the future.

After his segment, Su Ting left the stage and took a seat beside Gu Dai. He handed her a piece of cake, "Sis, this is from your favorite cake shop. Give it a try."

Gu Dai obliged, taking a few bites with a fork, she commented with satisfaction, "Delicious. You should try some too."

Su Ting smiled, "Sure."

Watching the two of them sharing cake, leaning close as if they might touch, Song Ling felt an acute pang of jealousy.

Adding to his misery was the realization that he didn't even know which cake shop Gu Dai enjoyed.

Su Ting, thinking about the necklace Gu Dai had won, blushed a little and whispered, "Sis, thank you for buying the necklace. I'll handle the payment later."

He knew the necklace wasn't worth the winning bid. Though he wasn't sure why Gu Dai had placed such a high offer, he hoped deep down it was for him.

Perhaps she had bought it because he was showcasing it?

Seeing Su Ting's ears and face turning crimson, Gu Dai couldn't resist tousling his hair. She softly said, "Over the past three years, I never had the chance to see your shows. This was my way of making up for that."

Stunned, Su Ting stammered, "Is... is it because of me?"

Gu Dai nodded, "Yes."

Even though Su Ting had fantasized that it was because of him, getting confirmation from Gu Dai made him feel incredibly overjoyed.

Su Ting wanted to respond, but looking at Gu Dai, words escaped him. All that remained was sheer happiness.
