Chapter 437: Win Hearts Over
Zuiying looked at the owner and felt that he should persuade Xu Ziling to buy that ring for four taels, and so he said, “Young Lady, four taels is nothing to you. Why must you haggle over every little thing?”
Xu Ziling placed her favorite ring down, then turned around. “If you don’t sell it for one tael, I’ll leave,” she said coldly.
Just then, she really did walk off.
“Young Lady, sold! It’s a deal! One tael!” Cried the owner hurriedly.
Xu Ziling turned around and headed back. Then, she ordered her men to hand over the tael, grabbed the ring, and left.
She placed the ring on her and looked a the beautiful lotus design with a smile on her face.
Zuiying stared at the silhouette of Xu Ziling’s back like he were looking at the evilest person. His face was full of detest and contempt.
Xu Ziling didn’t know that the look in Zuiying’s eyes had turned even more disgusted, and continued to walk on.
After walking for a while, Zuiying noticed a woman by another stall, looking at a similar ring and asking for the price.
“Sir, how much is this ring?”
“Lady, it’s only five cents. I can’t go any lower than that.”
Zuiying was suddenly so stunned that his feet wouldn’t budge. He glanced at Xu Ziling’s back and crept over to the stall and asked about the gold ring with the lotus design. “Sir, how much is this one?”
“This one? It’s also five cents,” said the owner with a bright smile.
Zuiying gently put the ring down, then turned and left.
“Mister, don’t go. Do you want it for four cents?” The owner cried out to Zuiying from behind.
Zuiying furrowed his brow and glared at Xu Ziling with a confused look in his eyes. What kind of person was she actually?
When it was time for lunch, Xu Ziling chose the classiest restaurant and walked in.
She ordered a large table full of food and ate with her servants seated all around her.
Zuiying scanned the satisfied looks on their faces as they ate, and raised his chopsticks to taste all different kinds of delicious, expensive food.
“Young Lady, will you give this to me?” Asked the smiling Xiao Yun, as she picked up the cute doll.
Xu Ziling was clearly reluctant, so she refused. “No. How can I give you something that I’ve got my eye on?”
Xiao Yun suddenly looked glum and continued eating in a bad mood. However, her gaze never left the doll.
Zuiying looked at how Xu Ziling and Xiao Yun interacted. He knew that the two of them had a great relationship as master and servant, but he never imagined that it was this good.
Xu Ziling ate happily like there was nothing she didn’t like to eat.
Zuiying was also lifted by Xu Ziling’s good appetite. They ate lunch with unusual satisfaction.
Xu Ziling saw everyone eat until they burped and laughed out loud. “What else would you like to eat? Go ahead and order as much as you want.”
“I’m full now, Young Lady. Anymore and my stomach will explode,” said a delighted and servant.
Xu Ziling only paid when she saw that everyone was full. Then, she led the group back to the manor.
As night approached, everyone returned to the general’s manor with cheerful smiles.
Xu Ziling walked to her own room. With a joyful expression, she looked at the many different pretty, fun, but cheap items on the table.
“Young Lady, you should give this one to me!” Xiao Yun stared at the doll as she did.
“No.” Xu Ziling picked up the doll and looked at it happily.
Xiao Yun pursed her lips and kind of missed the doll.
Xu Ziling waved her hand. “Xiao Yun, out.”
Xiao Yun nodded and responded with, “Yes, Young Lady.” Then, she turned around and walked out.
Xu Ziling sat in front of the desk and played with the items she bought. All of a sudden, she saw the fan with the erotic painting. She opened it up, then looked at the man and woman hugging, and couldn’t help but think about Zuiying.
