[Gu Mengyang: Or maybe I should make the reservation for you.]
[Gu Mengyang: Which area are you staying in? Where would be convenient for you?]
Gu Zhiqi immediately stopped Gu Mengyang.
[Qiqi: I’m already staying at a friend’s place.]
[Gu Mengyang: Is your friend reliable?]
[Gu Mengyang: Alright then.]
[Gu Mengyang: If you run into any trouble that you can’t solve, remember to contact me.]
[Gu Mengyang: If there’s something you can’t handle, go find someone named Gu Qing at Heavenly Domain Pavilion, she’ll help you deal with it.]
Gu Mengyang sent three messages in a row. Looking at his messages, Gu Zhiqi slightly raised her eyebrows and lightly typed a reply to Gu Mengyang.
After sending the message, her gaze still lingered on the words "Heavenly Domain Pavilion."
Heavenly Domain Pavilion felt somewhat familiar.
She couldn’t recall where she had seen or heard of it before.
After finishing her chat with Gu Mengyang, Gu Zhiqi exited WeChat and did a quick search on her phone for Heavenly Domain Pavilion.
There wasn’t much info on the public web about Heavenly Domain Pavilion; the descriptions were rather succinct.
After briefly browsing the related information, it could be summed up in one sentence: A rather mysterious auction house.
Gu Zhiqi then searched on a network forum and found that there were far more messages related to it than on the public web.
Just as she was deeply engrossed in her reading, a strange female voice suddenly sounded by her ear. Gu Zhiqi looked up at the door, put away her phone, got up, and walked to the door to open it.
Standing outside was a girl with delicate features, wearing a blouse and a miniskirt, and little leather shoes on her feet. Her slightly curly hair hung neatly in front of her shoulders, and she looked to be around twenty years old.
The girl had a round face with two dimples that became very pronounced when she smiled, giving her a particularly sweet and adorable look.
Upon seeing Gu Zhiqi, the girl standing at the door froze her smile for a split second before quickly regaining it. She looked at Gu Zhiqi with a beaming smile, "You must be the Miss that Third Brother brought back? Hello, my name is Su Miaoyi, ’Miaoyi’ as in ’ingenious’ and ’artistic conception.’
Gu Zhiqi nodded gently at the girl, "Gu Zhiqi, ’Zhi’ as in branch, ’Qiqi’ as in to perch."
"Gu Zhiqi?" Su Miaoyi lowered her eyes, repeated Gu Zhiqi’s name softly, then looked up, seeming a bit embarrassed as she continued, "I don’t think I’ve heard Third Brother mention you before, sorry."
After speaking, she playfully stuck her tongue out at Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi held a polite smile at the corner of her mouth and nodded slightly, not saying a word.
"Can I come in and sit down, maybe chat with you?" asked Su Miaoyi as she pointed at the room behind Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi really wanted to refuse, but after all, this was the Su residence, and it would seem rather inappropriate to reject someone with the surname Su. After debating it for a while, she eventually nodded.
Upon hearing this, Su Miaoyi’s eyes lit up. She immediately stepped forward, attempting to wrap her arm around Gu Zhiqi’s, "You’re so nice."
But she didn’t manage to touch Gu Zhiqi’s arm.
Gu Zhiqi subtly moved several steps aside and then said to Su Miaoyi, "Miss Su, please come in."
Su Miaoyi stiffened a bit but still maintained a charming smile, "Okay."
With that said, she stepped into the room.
Upon entering, Su Miaoyi couldn’t help but look around carefully. Glancing at the room’s layout, she couldn’t conceal a fleeting look of jealousy in her eyes.
She had been after this courtyard for a long time but hadn’t managed to obtain it from Su Yunling.
