The pink diamond, which was the last to appear and had the biggest publicity gimmick, finally fell into the hands of the Xiao family.
But even though it is the most expensive, exquisite and luxurious, it is not Xiao Siyun's favorite.
She just wanted the crown.
But she knows that if she likes it, others like it too.
So when Xiao Yingzhi proposed to buy the crown from He Yang, she refused.
There is no need to take away someone's love.
She will be fine after being sad for a while.
The auction ended and everyone left one after another.
Their family came to attend the auction today and did not bring any employees, so Xiao Qilin went personally to negotiate the settlement, pick up and deliver the auction items, etc.
Xiao Siyun was in a low mood, and Xiao Yingzhi kept talking to her.
Just as he reached the courtyard, Xiao Yingzhi was called away by a voice.
Before leaving, he told Xiao Siyun to wait for him there and said he would be back soon.
Xiao Siyun nodded woodenly in agreement, sat down on the swing in the small garden next to him, tugging at the potted plant at hand, looking depressed.
She grabbed a very strong leaf in her hand, but couldn't pull it out, so she had to fight to the end.
"I just don't believe it. I couldn't even get a leaf today!"
She tried hard and finally pulled the leaf out, but one side of the shawl slipped off her shoulders.
But before she could reach out to pick it up, a hand lifted it up for her and put it back on her.
"Zhou Ling?" Xiao Siyun looked at him in surprise as he slowly squatted down. "Why are you here?"
Zhou Ling came running, and his breathing was still a little uneven.
"I, you didn't even reply to the message I sent you."
She said weakly, "I didn't take my phone, I don't have any pockets, what do you want from me?"
What else could it be?
Zhou Ling looked into her dull eyes, mustered up the courage, and explained to her.
"I originally wanted to give that pink diamond to you, not to anyone else."
"Um?"
She blinked and finally perked up a little.
"I knew it was your birthday, so I bought it for you, but I..."
"I did some research, so I know your birthday. I was also afraid that you would be angry and disgusted with me..."
"I..." Zhou Ling struggled to explain, but in the end, he just wanted to say, "Can you please stop being mad at me?"
Xiao Siyun looked at the boy with her bright and clear eyes, and a soft warmth flowed through her heart.
"It's... for me?"
"Uh-huh."
"But that looks a bit expensive."
"You saved my life."
Xiao Siyun thought about it and it seemed so. She suffered great torture because of it and almost died in the hospital.
A pink diamond is also worthy of her.
"So is that a thank you or a birthday gift?"
But her next question stumped Zhou Ling, and a moment of panic appeared on his face.
"Well, sort of..."
Seeing that he suddenly couldn't answer and looked anxious, Xiao Siyun thought he was so funny and finally laughed.
"Well, that's a birthday present. You still have to treat me to a meal as a thank you."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
He wished it were so that he wouldn't miss the opportunity to ask her out for dinner.
Zhou Ling agreed gently and took out the brocade box from the gift bag in his hand.
"But I didn't bring the pink diamond with me today. I'm giving this to you as an apology. Don't be unhappy."
He opened the brocade box, and inside was a sparkling crown of diamonds, flowers, leaves, and pearls!
Xiao Siyun became visibly happy, with bright fluorescence shining in his eyes.
"Ah ...
She couldn't help but reach out to pick it up, looked left and right, put it on her head, and asked Zhou Ling happily, "Does it look good?"
Seeing that she liked it, Zhou Ling also smiled happily, but he couldn't help but raise his hand to adjust the crown for her worriedly. While praising her, he also said:
"It looks good, you look the best, but don't put it too far back when you put it on, or it won't touch the wound."
"Yeah! This is really worth giving away..."
Xiao Siyun was immersed in the surprise of regaining what he had lost, but suddenly he was stunned and stared at Zhou Ling.
"Are you in box two on the second floor?"
"Yes." Zhou Ling thought about it and admitted the truth.
"The man surnamed He is..."
"My cousin."
"Oh, is that crown his or yours?"
"It was mine, and now it's yours."
"You said it! Then it belongs to me."
Xiao Siyun said a few words and confirmed that the ownership of the crown was now in her hands.
"Okay, for the sake of the crown, I forgive you. Thank you, Zhou Ling, I'm very happy!"
She was soon coaxed into calm, and a bright smile finally returned to her pretty face.
Zhou Ling looked at her and smiled, and his mood immediately brightened.
He took advantage of her happiness and quickly asked her out.
"Then, can I ask you out for dinner tomorrow? Not to thank you for the meal, but because I want to give you the pink diamond and have... a meal? Can I?"
As he spoke to the end, he became more and more nervous, and he spoke more and more slowly and stuttered, looking up at her nervously.
Every second I waited for her reply was a torment of the combination of anticipation for her agreement and fear of her rejection.
Xiao Siyun pursed his lips and thought about it seriously.
"Um...tomorrow?"
She wants to sleep in at home tomorrow and doesn't want to go out.
"Not tomorrow..."
Zhou Ling looked at her hesitant expression, afraid that she would say no.
really!
He immediately started brainstorming.
