The auction had ended, and the final item was auctioned off for 1.2 billion yuan, claimed by the individual in Room D5.
Since only the Sky Suites were exclusive and the other rooms were booked based on price, apart from the staff of Heavenly Domain Pavilion, no one knew who had won the Storage Ring. Furthermore, to protect the bidders, the staff at Heavenly Domain Pavilion would not reveal information about the seller or buyer, allowing the buyer to avoid being targeted by those with ulterior motives.
As the auction concluded, the staff at Heavenly Domain Pavilion began to deliver the auctioned items into the hands of the buyers.
Gu Zhiqi excused himself to use the bathroom and left the room first.
After leaving the room, he didn’t head straight to the bathroom but went to find Gu Qing first.
Leaving Gu Qing’s place with his phone still in hand, Gu Zhiqi was about to put the device in his pocket when he received a message from Chubby Chiu.

Gu Zhiqi saw it, but pretended not to, and slipped the phone into his pocket before heading to the bathroom.
Just as he left the bathroom, a familiar, adorable voice rang in his mind, "Zhizhi~"
Gu Zhiqi asked languidly, "Decided to come back, did you?"
"Hehe, Yin Family missed you~," Chubby Chiu spoke with a flattering and sleazy tone.
"Oh," Gu Zhiqi responded indifferently and continued to walk forward.
"Zhizhi, did you forget something?" Chubby Chiu asked weakly.
"Forgot what?" His tone remained aloof and lazy.
Seeing this reaction, Chubby Chiu got straight to the point with a pitiful tone, "Um, is the 9 billion all collected?"
"No," Gu Zhiqi replied with an icy expression.
"Waaaah~ But you do have it." It monitored Zhizhi’s piggy bank at all times and had just detected that Zhizhi’s savings had exceeded 9 billion.
Gu Zhiqi ignored Chubby Chiu, walking ahead on his own, and when he reached the corner, he stopped.
There was someone leaning against the corner, holding a pot of flowers.
At the moment, the person was gazing down at the flower with a bored expression.
It was still the same corner from before the auction began, with the same person leaning against the wall.
Hearing footsteps, Su Yunling shifted her gaze from the Dark Night Bewitching Orchid and looked towards Gu Zhiqi.
"Brother," Gu Zhiqi called out reflexively.
After realizing it, Gu Zhiqi noticed that the word ’brother’ had slipped out a bit too naturally as if it was a reflexive utterance.
Su Yunling’s lips curved, and standing up straight from the wall, she approached Gu Zhiqi and handed him the flower.
A big question mark appeared in his mind, and with a questioning look in his eyes, he turned towards Su Yunling.
"Isn’t this what you wanted?" Su Yunling’s eyes twinkled with a light smile as she looked back at Gu Zhiqi, "For you."
Gu Zhiqi spoke somberly, "You bid for me?"
Su Yunling nodded, "Specifically for you."
He remained silent, gazing at Su Yunling for several seconds without a move.
Seeing this, Su Yunling raised an eyebrow lightly, "What? Don’t you like it?"
Gu Zhiqi finally spoke, his tone somber as he uttered two words, "Wasteful."
Surprised at first, Su Yunling’s lips then curved slightly, and with an amused lightness, he asked, "How so wasteful?"
"This flower is worth at most seventy million."
He had just spent two billion, hadn’t he?
If it was for his own use, Gu Zhiqi would only marvel at his wealth and think nothing more.
But to have bid on it for her?
Wouldn’t a direct transfer have been better?
