Lin Qi closed her computer, planning to watch the final auction result after she wakes up tomorrow.
Momo stood at the door, peeking in. After dinner, he had seen Lin Qi rush upstairs, thinking she was still upset about the humiliation at the counter. Just as he poked his little head in, he heard Lin Qi’s giggling.
“Mommy…” It was the first time Momo heard Lin Qi laugh .
“Momo?” Lin Qi grabbed him in her arms. “Have you bathed yet?”
“Oh?” Lin Qi was surprised. “Who bathed you?”
Momo proudly said, “I washed myself.” Tingdong was right, he was seven now, he shouldn’t let Mommy help him bathe anymore. Shy face.
Lin Qi still couldn’t believe it and smelled him. Indeed, it was the sweet-smelling Momo!
She asked, “Where is Han?”
Momo shook his head, “Haven’t seen him.”
Han knocked on the door and walked in.
Huo Tingdong had just closed his laptop. Upon seeing Han holding something in his hands, he got curious, “What’s in your hands?”
Han walked up to him, opened his palms, and held a handmade little red flower he had made himself.
Huo Tingdong was somewhat amused, “What is this?”
Han lifted the corners of his mouth and gently placed the little red flower on Huo Tingdong’s chest, then with his soft little hand, gently touched his head, “Protect Aunt Qiqi, get a reward.”
Huo Tingdong understood.
He had helped Lin Qi at the Hermes counter today, and in Han’s eyes, he had earned a commendation. As a reward, Han made him this little red flower.
“Thank you.” Huo Tingdong touched the little red flower; it was the first time he received a “gift” from Han.
Unexpectedly, it was because of Lin Qi.
For some reason, with Lin Qi’s company, Han seemed happier than before and started talking more.
Huo Tingdong asked, “Do you really like Aunt Qiqi that much?”
“Just because she’s beautiful?”
“But there are so many people more beautiful than her?”
Han stressed without doubt, “She’s the most beautiful!”
“Okay, she’s the most beautiful.” Huo Tingdong pulled him gently into his arms and appeasingly asked, “So, Daddy or Aunt Qiqi, who do you like more?”
He actually hesitated.
In front of Daddy, saying he liked Aunt Qiqi more seemed a bit heart-wrenching?
Since he could remember, Han had stayed in the orphanage until he was four. Due to his autism, the orphanage teachers looked down on him, and other kids bullied him. In the orphanage, only an old Chinese medicine practitioner was kind to him.
He had always felt insecure.
But since he had been brought back to the Huo Family by Huo Tingdong, Huo Tingdong had showered him with immense affection and pampered him dearly.
He thought for a moment and seriously gave his answer: “Daddy!”
Saying this, he made a heart gesture at Huo Tingdong.
Although Huo Tingdong knew it wasn’t Han’s most genuine answer, he was content that he could give this answer.
He kissed Han’s cheek, “Daddy loves Han the most too.”
Han also hugged his neck and kissed him back.
“Sleep with Daddy tonight?” Huo Tingdong had specifically ended his work early so he could go to bed early.
Han hesitated for a moment but still obediently nodded.
As soon as Lin Qi woke up, she logged onto the auction site.
With eight hours left before the auction closed, the bid had already reached 2.8 million!
Lin Qi couldn’t see the customer’s information who placed the bid, but she vaguely felt that the nature of the bid had changed; to obtain the Himalaya, the bidding had already gone up over three hundred times.
She almost dropped her jaw, feeling utterly dazed. She had no idea how much the final bid could be.
If it could break three million… deducting taxes, she’d net over two million.
At 1 PM, Lin Qi suddenly received a call. It was from the person in charge of the auction.
“May I ask, are you Miss Lin Qi?”
“At the moment, the item you listed for auction, a Hermes Himalaya Bag, has reached a final bid. One bidder purchased your bag for a price of 5.6 million. Next, we need to arrange the transaction process with you…”
Lin Qi was stunned for a long time.
Forgive her naivety, but in this world, is there really someone willing to spend 5.6 million just to buy a bag?
Seeing that Lin Qi did not respond for a while, the caller on the other end became somewhat nervous, “Miss Lin? Miss Lin, do you have any questions? Rest assured! Our company is a standard channel, and all transactions are secured with a deposit.”
Lin Qi said, “I have no problem.”
The other party provided some details about proofs needed for the settled item and agreed on the afternoon’s procedures. Initially, they planned to offer a home service, but Lin Qi asked for the address of the exchange office, intending to deliver the bag personally.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Qi quickly logged onto the official website to check.
The transaction was finally settled at 5.6 million!
The final price was reached three times.
Lin Qi held her face, feeling ecstatic.
This bag actually sold for 5.6 million!
This is practically overnight riches.
Though she didn’t know who would lavish 5.6 million on a bag, it might just hit the trending news tomorrow.
“A 5.6 million Hermes bag,” Lin Qi could already picture the trending words.
Li Qian must be regretting it deeply, having burdened the Hermes store with this bag and incurring a heavy loss.
The appointment was at half past two in the afternoon.
Lin Qi prepared all necessary documents, took a taxi to the exchange, submitted all related proofs, and completed the transaction.
The exchange paid a deposit of one million, with the remaining 3.5 million to be transferred to her account within ten days.
Reportedly, the mysterious buyer was eager to get the bag and had already paid in full, expected to arrive within three business days.
As the sun was setting, Lin Qi looked at the scorching balance in her account and contentedly headed home!
At Lin Family’s home.
Lin Qianqian finally received the Hermes Himalaya Bag she had been longing for.
She happily carried the bag home and couldn’t wait to open it.
As Zhou Qin came downstairs, she saw the beaming Lin Qianqian, “Qianqian, bought a new bag?”
Lin Qianqian said, “Su Yuan bought this and gave it to me.”
The bag was picked up from the store unopened; all original invoices were intact.
This was the Himalaya Bag that Lin Qianqian wanted the most, yet it was the hardest to acquire!
Zhou Qin casually asked, “How much?”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Lin Qianqian unboxed the bag, and upon seeing it was a Himalaya, Zhou Qin exclaimed with surprise, “Isn’t this a Himalaya? This bag is very hard to get.”
Lin Qianqian said, “Yes, I saw it on the auction website and pestered Su Yuan to buy it for me.”
Zhou Qin was astonished, “How could he afford to buy you such an expensive bag?”
Lin Qianqian said, “He said it’s a wedding gift for me.”
Since returning from the real estate office that day, Lin Qianqian had felt greatly aggrieved and had a temper with Su Yuan. To appease her, Su Yuan gritted his teeth and agreed to buy her a bag.
Lin Qianqian heard from her friend that there was a Himalaya up for auction on the website, so she pestered Su Yuan about it.
Unexpectedly, it eventually cost 5.6 million to finally win the bid!
