Chapter 248 -249 How About Being Seduced_1

Wu Haoli curled his lips and smiled, “I got it in another province while negotiating business, thinking of your unique way of holding the pen, you should like this. Every time you use charcoal to write it’s easy to dirty your hands, isn’t it?”

Muniang smiled gratefully, “Such a delicate quill pen is really rare, thank you so much.”

She originally planned to get a quill pen herself, but could never make it right; this pen looks simple, but if you don’t know the craft, it won’t even hold ink properly to write. Muniang tried to make a few and all were failures, so she simply used charcoal instead.

Wu Haoli curled his lips and smiled again, “I knew you’d like it. I heard this one can keep writing as long as it’s dipped in ink. It should be more convenient for you now. But this thing is very rare, I just happened to get one, so I don’t have any more.”

“Yeah, it’s my first time seeing one too, it really is rare,” Muniang said, holding the feather pen as if she couldn’t let go.

Yu Ze’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot, looking at Wu Haoli with his crafty appearance, he almost wanted to poke a hole in him.

Wu Haoli wasn’t afraid of him at all; by now Muniang had already lost hope in him, and at this moment, Yu Ze’s words carried almost no weight. He probably wouldn’t dare to stop Muniang at all.

“You owe me another favor.”

Muniang’s face was lined with annoyance. Isn’t this guy the richest man? Why is he so miserly, remembering so clearly?

But although she criticized inwardly, she still responded, “Mm,” waiting for Wu Haoli to continue.

Wu Haoli smiled, “Then how about you treat me to a meal? The last time I ate something you made, it was really tasty.”

Muniang looked at him in surprise. Such a small request?

“That’s no problem at all!” Muniang said joyfully.

Wu Haoli smiled triumphantly, “That’s a deal.”

Ever since leaving the Dongxing Building, Yu Ze’s face had grown even darker than before. Muniang felt as if she was accompanied by a cooling air conditioner, feeling chillingly cold just by looking at him.

“What’s wrong with you?” Muniang couldn’t stand it any longer.

Yu Ze had a face full of silent bitterness, “My wife—”

Muniang glared at him, “Don’t play that game with me! It won’t work!”

Yu Ze made a sad face, wanting to cry but unable to, wondering why his previously foolproof tactic was now utterly useless?

Muniang turned away, calming herself down and cursing inwardly, damn, she was almost fooled by this man.

They didn’t go straight back, because they planned to visit the Embroidery House, so they simply chose to walk on the streets and look around to see if there was anything worth buying.

Passing by a jewelry store, Yu Ze pulled Muniang inside, leaving her to say without amusement, “What is it now?”

Yu Ze glanced at her headwear, then said, “You didn’t wear any jewelry today, do you no longer like the old ones? Let’s pick out some new pieces.”

Muniang touched her hair, cursing inwardly, that’s because I don’t like the ones you bought.

“Forget it, I don’t want to wear those now. Don’t bother with this anymore.”

Yu Ze completely ignored Muniang’s words and directly asked the shop assistant to bring out the best pieces of jewelry for selection.

The shop assistant enthusiastically presented several trays, “These are the finest items in our shop, please have a look.”

Yu Ze, keeping Muniang’s preferences in mind, picked a few hairpins and then directly asked the assistant to pack them up without even asking the price. The shop assistant loved such straightforward customers and hurried to package the items.

“My lord, that would be a total of two hundred and thirty-eight silver,” said the shop assistant with a nod and a bow.

Muniang’s eyes widened in disbelief, “That expensive!? Just a few broken hairpins for two hundred silver, are they out to rob us?”

Yu Ze pulled out his money pouch, paid the amount, and took the items, saying to Muniang, “You will look beautiful with these.”

Muniang gave him a glance, “You wasteful scoundrel!”

“I’m only wasteful for you,” Yu Ze said with a sheepish smile, inching closer to Muniang. He had come to understand one thing, if he wanted to coax his wife, he couldn’t care about his image.

Muniang pushed him away irritably, yet noticed him placing the shop assistant’s change into a small, delicately made purse. The stitching was rough, the pattern ugly, and it had two crookedly sewn characters on it reading ‘two ounces’—it was the reject of rejects.

It was a purse Muniang had agreed to embroider for Yu Ze after he had been relentlessly persistent. It was so hideous that she didn’t want him to carry it in public. Yet to her surprise, he still kept it, despite it clashing completely with his current attire and demeanor.

Despite thinking this way, she said gruffly, “Why do you still carry that thing? Aren’t you ashamed, looking at how that shop assistant was eyeballing this purse.”

Yu Ze cherished the purse like a treasure, tucking it into his chest, “I like it. They lack discernment; I couldn’t care less what they think.”

Muniang huffed and turned away, though she felt a mysterious sense of comfort in her heart.

Having lived with Muniang for so long, Yu Ze naturally understood her temperament. Seeing her like this, he knew her anger had subsided somewhat and quickly approached, offering attentively, “My lady, are you hungry? Why don’t you have some tea over there at the teahouse while I head over to the Edge Brand Collection east of the city to buy you some snacks? You love their pastries the most, right?”

“That far?”

“Not far, I’ll be back before you know it!” With that, Yu Ze took off like the wind.

Muniang, although she wouldn’t admit it, was touched. She knew very well what kind of person Yu Ze used to be. Just from how Jin Feng, who was usually quite improper, became so respectful and serious in front of him showed how monumental this change in Yu Ze was; such a proud man was now willing to humble himself to dote on her, which indeed was not an easy feat.

However, when she thought of He Suxue, Muniang’s brow furrowed with annoyance. This woman was the root of all problems. Things might be going well between them now, but as soon as she appeared, everything would become chaotic and confused.

“Qiao Muniang, you seem to be enjoying quite the leisurely life,” He Suxue’s voice revealed her spite and jealousy.

She had just witnessed Yu Ze’s enthusiastic courting from not far away, the doting manner like never seen on his face before. That cold man was showing such special affection for this woman, and He Suxue had almost thought she was seeing things!

He Suxue’s teeth itched with spite; why her?!

Muniang turned around, saw He Suxue in the crowd, and immediately felt displeased. Speak of the devil, and the devil appears. Wasn’t she supposed to be sent away today? Why was she still in Chatu Town?!

“None of your business,” Muniang replied succinctly and with undisguised disgust.

Grinding her teeth, He Suxue said, “As expected of a country bumpkin, no manners whatsoever, foul-mouthed, disgraceful. How could Yu fall for a woman like you? Did you seduce him?”

Muniang found it amusing, “So what if I seduced him? You’ve tried to seduce him for over twenty years and got nowhere, but I captured his heart so devotedly within a year. Are you jealous?”
