After Gu Dai had spoken, she shut the box’s window, paying no further heed to Wang Lan.
Wang Lan, tremors coursing through her body in indignation, had never anticipated that one day she’d be outmaneuvered by Gu Dai.
Witnessing Gu Dai’s return, Su Ting asked, bemused, “Sis, 1 do have the funds. Why didn’t you permit me to proceed with the bidding? You genuinely seemed to want it.”
At this juncture, Su Ting felt somewhat aggrieved, recollecting the moment Gu Dai had previously interrupted him.
Exhaling in resignation, Gu Dai tousled Su Ting’s hair, clarifying, “Our priority is to secure Master Cui Song’s masterpiece; the rest doesn’t really matter. Furthermore, upon reflection, watching Wang Lan’s defeated look as she takes the painting… it’s actually quite satisfying.”
“Understood.” Su Ting, after hearing Gu Dai’s reasoning, nodded gently. After all, as long as his sister was content, that’s what truly mattered.
Casting a glance at the time, Gu Dai addressed Su Ting, “It’s time for you to head to the airport You should get going.”
“So soon?” Su Ting’s disappointment echoed in his words as he sought to delay his departure, “1 think I’d still make my flight even if I left post-auction and after dropping you home. May 1 stay a bit longer, please?”
Gu Dai, immune to Su Ting’s sorrowful plea, countered, “No, Zhang Zheng messaged me; you start work tomorrow morning. A red-eye flight won’t leave you adequate rest time. He also mentioned he’s en route to fetch you and will call once he’s nearby.”
Faced with Gu Dai’s resolute stance, Su Ting had to acquiesce, “Alright.”
All he could do was hope that Zhang Zheng would run late.
To Su Ting’s dismay, his phone buzzed just as he gave in. It was a call from Zhang Zheng.
Su Ting was left speechless.
Left with no alternative, he had to depart, “Sister, I’ll wrap up my overseas work as soon as I can and return early.”
Gu Dai, smiling warmly, nodded in acknowledgment, “Sure.”
Just as Song Ling exited the box, he found Su Ting and Gu Dai in close proximity.
Gu Dai, dressed in a black outfit that accentuated her ivory complexion, exuded an alluring radiance and charm. She was gazing at Su Ting, appearing genuinely saddened by his imminent departure.
Song Ling’s gaze of the pair gradually turned stern.
“Brother Song, why aren’t we moving?” Zhou Ci asked, puzzled, as he emerged from behind Song Ling. To his surprise, he found Gu Dai and Su Ting nearby.
He clammed up, vividly recalling that this was the woman who had once floored Song Ling.
Song Ling, ice coating his voice, responded, “Nothing, let’s go,”.
Then, he led the way.
Feeling Song Ling’s frosty aura, Zhou Ci deeply regretted his premature question.
Had he known the outcome, he would have refrained from seeking Song Ling out!
Nonetheless, Zhou Ci found the situation baffling. Song Ling had always treated Gu Dai as if she were nonexistent, but now he was becoming emotional around her. Drawing on his extensive relationship experience, an idea crossed Zhou Ci’s mind.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
The moment this idea popped into his head, he immediately shook it off, rejecting the notion outright.
After all, the thought of Song Ling, who had once strongly disliked Gu Dai, now developing feelings for her was beyond his belief.
Noticing Zhou Ci’s failure to follow him, Song Ling’s mood plummeted further. His voice growing colder, he questioned, “Are you planning to just stand there and do nothing? Hurry up and show me the painting.”
Snapped back into reality, Zhou Ci quickly agreed, “Right away, right away.”
As for Gu Dai and Su Ting, they gave no thought to the actions of the other two.
Su Ting, still quite anxious, reminded Gu Dai, “Sis, if you need anything at home, don’t hesitate to call me.”
Although she had heard this numerous times, Gu Dai responded patiently, “Sure, I will.”
Seeing that Su Ting had more to say, Gu Dai swiftly interrupted him, “Let’s head out. It’s getting late, and any further delay will cause you to miss your flight.”
Su Ting stopped Gu Dai, preventing her from walking him out.
“Sister, continue with the auction.” After uttering this, Su Ting promptly departed, leaving no opportunity for Gu Dai to accompany him..
