Chapter 310 The World of the Rich

"One thousand taels of silver?" Yan Meier gasped.

Although a thousand taels of silver is not much to the Yan family, it is still a considerable expense. Such a small jade pendant costs a thousand taels of silver. Do these people think money grows on trees?

Just when Yan Meier thought Gu Shuyan wouldn't want it, Gu Shuyan unexpectedly took the jade pendant directly into her hand.

"I want this jade pendant."

Just as Gu Shuyan was about to speak, a male voice spoke first.

The two turned around and saw that it was none other than Lu Youming who was speaking. "Your Highness, I was the one who took a liking to this jade pendant first."

Gu Shuyan frowned, looking somewhat angry, while Yan Meier blushed slightly when her gaze met Lu Youming's.

“Miss Gu, you misunderstand. I only said that I wanted this jade pendant, but I didn’t mean to take it from you.” Lu Youming did not take the jade pendant back from Gu Shuyan. Instead, he took a few steps forward and stood two steps away from Gu Shuyan.

Gu Shuyan looked at Lu Youming with confusion, as if she were looking at a strange creature. He directly said he wanted it and then said it wasn't stealing? Yan Meier also looked at Lu Youming with confusion.

"Miss Gu, didn't you hear me? I said I want this jade pendant."

After Lu Youming finished speaking, he gave Gu Shuyan a meaningful look, then turned around and began to look at other jade artifacts in the room.

Seeing this, Gu Shuyan glared at Lu Youming with displeasure, and with a childlike manner, pulled the shy Yan Meier directly upstairs.

The second-floor cubicles were filled with women's gold and silver jewelry, so only female customers would usually go there. As a man, Lu Youming was naturally embarrassed to follow.

After the waiter brought tea, Lu Youming simply sat down in the shop and slowly began to savor the tea.

More than an hour passed quietly. When Gu Shuyan came downstairs with a bunch of things she had selected, she immediately saw Lu Youming waiting in the shop.

"Shopkeeper, check please."

Gu Shuyan rolled her eyes at Lu Youming, but to Lu Youming, her irritated look was like a kitten scratching an itch, making him restless.

Before, when I didn't like her, I just saw her as a petite girl with hardly any flesh on her bones. Now that I like her, I find her adorable no matter what I do.

Following Gu Shuyan, Lu Youming smiled slightly as he looked at the jewelry displayed on the counter. "Manager, I'll take everything Miss Gu chose today. I'll have my assistant come to your residence to collect the money later."

A casual remark was made, and everyone in the shop turned their attention to it.

Gu Shuyan frowned even more. "What does Your Highness mean by this?"

Gu Shuyan had carefully selected gifts all morning, but Lu Youming took them all with just a few words. Adding to that the white jade from before, even Gu Shuyan, with her good temper, showed anger on her face.

"Miss Gu still doesn't understand? It means I want them all."

After Lu Youming finished speaking, he even gave Gu Shuyan a gentle yet polite smile.

Seeing this, Gu Shuyan was furious and wished she could slash his face. This person's behavior was too unsightly, especially since he was the current prince, the most gentle and refined prince in the world.

"you……"

Gu Shuyan was so angry she wanted to bite her teeth, but the other party was a prince; she could strike him, but she couldn't curse him. Forgetting all about the pile of things, Gu Shuyan took several deep breaths before managing to force a smile.
