The System said: Villains are all very dangerous, so no one wants to bind with it. Thus, the major task-taker, Wan Ge, bound with it because it looked good.
Then she saw a handsome and timid ...
Moreover, this is a public area where everyone is welcome to come and go, and no one can stop someone from coming if they want to.
But when the other person arrived, he inexplicably said to her, "Miss, you don't mind if I come in, do you?"
Wan Ge looked up at the other person. Although the other person was smiling, Wan Ge could clearly see the contempt in his eyes.
"This isn't my home, please make yourself at home, young lady." After saying that, Wan Ge didn't look at her again.
The woman raised her hand as if to smooth her hair, and as her fingertips brushed against the hairpin, she said in a delighted tone, "This hairpin I'm wearing was bought for me by my husband. Do you think it looks pretty, young lady?"
In that instant, the other person only said that one sentence, but their hostility towards me was very obvious.
If Wan Ge hadn't seen the two of them together, she might have thought the girl in front of her was simply trying to show off that her husband had bought her a hairpin.
But she had seen the two of them together, and combined with the provocative things the other party had said to her, Wan Ge was certain that the other party knew about her.
If I hadn't listened to the system and learned the truth, I might still be being deceived by them, and they might think I'm an easy fool.
Wan Ge glanced at it indifferently and then replied, "This hairpin is made of ordinary material and has an outdated design. Hairpins like this are usually only worn by my maids. Forgive my bluntness, but the young lady's attire is not ordinary either. If your husband gives her such a cheap hairpin, it will lower her status."
Upon hearing this, the other person's expression visibly stiffened. Their scrutinizing gaze then fell upon Wan Ge.
Looking at the fine silks and satins on the other person's body, and the pearls and jade in their hair, one could see that they were all made of the finest jade.
The fabric of the clothes Wan Ge was wearing was the latest cloud brocade made in Jiangnan, which could only be obtained by the royal family and a few high-ranking officials.
The style of her dress was meticulously designed, and the embroidered patterns on the edges were done by the best embroiderers in the capital.
The jewelry on her head was the latest design from a well-known jewelry shop, made with the finest jade. All the gold and silver jewelry was pure gold and silver, with absolutely no adulteration.
In addition, their products are limited editions, so even if you have money, you might not be able to buy them; you need to have status to do so.
Given how Wan Ge is dressed, it's perfectly normal for people to look down on her simple hairpin.
The woman seemed to sense Wan Ge's disdainful gaze and felt that Wan Ge's words were implying that she was poor, which naturally made her feel bad.
But she kept comforting herself, thinking that even if the other party had these things, what use would it be? The child liked and loved her, so even if the other party had these things, he still wouldn't win the Crown Prince's favor. So no matter what, she had won this round.
“Actually, I don’t care about any of that. The main thing is that my husband treats me very well. I’m happy whenever he gives me a gift, whether it’s valuable or not.”
Wan Ge spoke again indifferently: "If you like me, why would you give me such a cheap hairpin? Come to think of it, this hairpin is not even as good as the one His Highness the Crown Prince gave me."
"His Highness the Crown Prince gave you a hairpin?" The other person's voice was a bit sharper, but they seemed to be trying hard not to show it so obviously.
Wan Ge said calmly, "Yes, the Crown Prince and I grew up together, so it's not surprising that he gave me something. It's just that I felt that hairpin was a bit too ordinary and didn't even deserve to be in my jewelry box, so I gave it to my maid."
