Lan Waihu, who was standing next to him, was wearing a light pink dress. She dressed herself up in shades of pale colors and appeared to be as adorable as a porcelain doll.
Their appearances were unconventionally beautiful. Although there was a big crowd in the shop, Gu Xijiu could still find them immediately.
Lan Waihu was holding a Fox's Eye Jade Pendant in her hand and showed it to Yan Chen, "Brother Yan Chen, what do you think of this jade pendant?"
Yan Chen took a brief look and said nonchalantly, "Not bad."
Lan Waihu smiled with her eyes closed, "I will take this one, please wrap it up for me."
Just when Yan Chen was about to take out his money, Lan Waihu stopped him and said smilingly, "I am buying it, so you do not have to pay."
Yan Chen seemed surprised but agreed with her.
The boss handed Lan Waihu with the wrapped jade pendant and complimented her, "Miss, you have good eyes, he will definitely look good with the pendant if you give it to the man next to you."
Whilst Lan Waihu put the jade pendant away into her bag, she looked back with her eyes brightly open, "I am not giving it to him."
The boss was speechless for a moment.
Yan Chen was stunned for a while. He composed himself and asked, "Who are you giving it to?"
"Qian Lingyu," answered Lan Waihu, without hesitation.
Yan Chen did not know what to say.
It came as a great shock to Gu Xijiu who was watching this from afar.
Did she fall for Qian Lingyu? How could she not realize it as she had been spending so much time with both of them?
Yan Chen looked displeased, "Why… are you giving it to him?" If it were not for him to have always been in good control of himself, he would have completely changed his countenance by now.
Lan Waihu was unaware of Yan Chen's displeasure and answered him intuitively, "He is my friend. He must be really bored in the mountains now as he is not able to see all these things. I am buying it to make him happy."
Yan Chen was lost for words.
Whilst talking, her eyes caught another jade hairpin in the display counter. She turned around and asked, "Brother Yan Chen, what about this jade hairpin?"
Yan Chen looked at it expressionlessly, "Not bad. Who are you giving it to, this time? You are not giving it to Qian Lingyu again, are you?"
"Of course not, I am giving this to Xijiu. Both of my friends will receive something, I cannot be biased to anyone. Boss, I want this too, wrap it up, wrap it up."
The boss looked at Yan Chen sympathetically as he wrapped up the jade hairpin.
As the boss of the jade accessory shop, he would definitely like to achieve more sales. Certainly, he had to remind the lady by asking her some questions, "Miss, would you like to buy something for the young man next to you? With such a handsome look, he will definitely look great in just anything. Come, come, what about this waist jade? The color is nice and the material is excellent. It suits him perfectly."
Lan Waihu took a look at Yan Chen and caught his eyes. He was looking at her impassively.
Lan Waihu shook her head, "He is here, so he can buy it himself if he likes anything. He does not need me to pay for him. Furthermore, he is richer than I am. I have spent almost all my money." She shook the purse in her hand and listened to the clinking sound of the silvers. There were not many left.
"I like it!" Yan Chen said it abruptly.
Lan Waihu blinked her eyes at him, "Ah? If you like it then you should buy it."
"I want you to buy it for me!"
Lan Waihu was astounded. She looked at him and took another look at her purse, "I do not have any money left. I remember clearly that you still have a lot of money..."
"I can lend you the money!" Yan Chen interrupted her, again.
Lan Waihu's eyes were opened widely and she looked at Yan Chen as though he was a bandit, "Why would I borrow money from you to buy something for you? Are you trying to rob me?"
Yan Chen looked angry but he ignored her. He turned to the seller and asked, "How much is this jade?"
The seller reported an amount. It was indeed a nice jade as the price was double the two things that Lan Waihu had just bought.
Yan Chen did not have a second thought. He took out the money and handed it to Lan Waihu, "Come on, buy it for me."
Lan Waihu was confused, "I told you I don't want to borrow money from you…"
Yan Chen was stunned. He reached out his hand to the seller, "Please return the money she just paid to you and exchange it with my money." He then put the same amount of money on the counter.
The seller seemed to understand something. He immediately nodded, "Okay, okay!" He then took the money Yan Chen paid and returned Lan Waihu's money back to her.
Lan Waihu was still confused. She was stunned looking at her money and she looked at Yan Chen, "What does this mean?"
Yan Chen had no expression. He said lightly, "I will pay for the presents that you bought for them and you don't have to return anything me, so you can now use your money to buy the jade for me."
Lan Waihu was totally confused, "What is the difference?" She thought that at the end, the money were all paid to the seller.
Yan Chen looked at her and did not speak anymore. He was very cool and looked very serious. Lan Waihu was afraid of him so she tolerated, "Alright, I will do as you wish."
Once the jade was bought, Lan Waihu handed the jade to Yan Chen, "Are you satisfied now?"
Yan Chen looked at her for a long while, before turning away, "You can keep it first and give it to me later."
Lan Waihu did not understand his intentions. However, she knew that he was unhappy so she did not dare to ask any further. She kept the jade carefully and was worried that she would wrong him again, so she asked, "So when should I give it to you? I am stupid and I don't know how to pick the best timing to return it to you."
"You…" Yan Chen stared at her for a moment. Lan Waihu was scared when he stared at her. She thought that he was going to scold her again, so by instinct, she stepped a few steps backward.
Yan Chen suddenly turned away and left her alone.
Lan Waihu did not know the reason why he was angry so she quickly chased after him…
Brother Yan Chen, what is wrong with you?"
"Humph!"
"Brother Yan Chen, where do we go next?"
"Back to Tianju Hall!"
"I don't want to. You mentioned that you will bring me to watch the lantern show at the riverside."
"I don't want to go anymore!"
"Why?" Lan Waihu stopped and stood there. She was going to cry. She hardly came out from Tianju Hall and she had not played enough yet…
After a long while, only then did Yan Chen realize that Lan Waihu was not following him. When he turned back, he saw her crying in the middle of the crowd.
Lan Waihu was as beautiful as a doll. When she cried she looked very pitiful so there were people who started to notice her. There were also some men attracted to her and tried to comfort her.
Yan Chen frowned and went back to her, "Why are you crying?"
"I want to watch the lantern show at the riverside!"
"Okay, I will bring you there." Yan Chen finally tolerated.
"But you're mad at me…" She continued to blame.
"I am not mad anymore, so please don't cry anymore." Yan Chen started to surrender.
"You scolded me just now!"
Yan Chen sighed, "I am sorry. I won't do that anymore."
Lan Waihu finally stopped crying and smiled. She took the opportunity to bargain with him, "I still want to walk around the West City. I heard that there is a haunted house…"
"Why do you want to go to the haunted house during this festival?" Yan Chen was unhappy.
"I want to go!" The tears in Lan Waihu's eyes began to roll down again.
