Ning Wan lowered her eyes slightly and looked at the jade pendant in her hand.
"I'm afraid mother-in-law has misunderstood. I'm not familiar with that person. He's traveling with me, which only means we're going the same way."
Ning Wan looked at the old woman who was carrying the burden in front of her without any pressure. After realizing that she had no intention of hurting her, she did not expose the flaw.
And when the old woman heard Ning Wan's clarification and wanted to say something, she saw Shen Jingze stopped where he was.
No, why stop?
If he doesn't catch up, he will lose his jade pendant.
He had finally created such a good opportunity, why didn't this person cooperate?
Shen Jingze didn't move. Looking at the disguised Cen Huaiwen, he felt that it was a bit eye-catching.
He didn't know that Cen Huaiwen had such a hobby, dressing up as an old woman to deceive people.
"Girl, you can't hide it from my eyes. If you don't care about him, why are you waiting for him in this corner?"
Cen Huaiwen did not deliberately raise his voice.
He knew very well that Shen Jingze could hear it.
Ning Wan looked up at the "old woman" in front of her who was speaking so eloquently. After thinking for a while, she said, "It's just a coincidence. I'm tired and want to rest."
As she spoke, Ning Wan's eyes fell on the wontons and she changed the subject:
"Grandma, there aren't many people in this alley. Let's sell wontons somewhere else."
She waited for Shen Jingze not because she cared about him, but because she didn't want this jade pendant to become her handle.
Ning Wan did not give Cen Huaiwen the answer he wanted. Instead, Cen Huaiwen's face froze. After a long time, he just laughed twice, a little awkwardly.
Cen Huaiwen ran as fast as he could, carrying the two boxes of wontons and leaving the scene as quickly as possible.
When he left, he did not forget to send a message to Shen Jingze.
"I can only help you up to this point. If the jade pendant falls into the hands of someone else, you will help me destroy it."
Cen Huaiwen came down not only to help Shen Jingze, but also because he was afraid that someone else would get the jade pendant.
[Host, the hero is only two hundred meters away from you now. Do you want to leave? ]
"Yeah," Ning Wan responded softly again.
Until they arrived at the second-hand market, Xiao Qi thought again and again: [Host, have you noticed that something is wrong with that old woman a long time ago?]
Ning Wan randomly found a stall displaying jade and squatted down beside it.
"Xiao Qi, there are no houses in that alley at all, and the other end of the alley is a dead end."
Ning Wan didn't want to doubt it either.
But Cen Huaiwen is too careless in his work.
Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "How did the host know that it was a dead end?"
As soon as he asked, Xiaoqi realized: navigation.
"navigation."
Ning Wan was not impatient, but just kept looking at the various jades.
Xiao Qi seems to understand, but is actually a little confused: So is the host waiting for the male lead, or is he waiting for Cen Huaiwen?
The stall owner was a young man who introduced himself to the customers enthusiastically. But when he saw Ning Wan waving her hand, he tactfully stopped.
"Would you like to collect the jade pendant?"
After looking for a while, Ning Wan stated his purpose.
The young man's eyes widened noticeably as he stared at Ning Wan before him. It took him a long while to speak, "Of course I'll take it. I just don't know what kind of jade you're selling, young lady?"
Hearing this, Ning Wan took out the jade pendant that she had been holding in her palm.
When the young man saw it, his brows furrowed together: "Where did you get this jade pendant, young lady?"
Ning Wan thought about it again and again, then said vaguely, "It was given to me by someone who claimed to be destined to be with me."
"Since we are destined to be together, why don't you keep me?" After hearing Ning Wan's excuse, the young man asked back without thinking too much.
Ning Wan's eyebrows curved slightly, and she smiled faintly as she spoke, "I see that you and I have a strong connection, so I thought of giving you this jade pendant. If you want it, just give me a price."
"More or less, I'm fine with that."
Young stall owner: "Five taels?"
Ning Wan's lips curled up again, and she handed the jade pendant over directly, "Okay, give me the money."
The young stall owner didn't expect Ning Wan to actually not bargain. He asked in surprise, "Really?"
"Of course it's true."
The young stall owner picked up the silver bag from his waist and took out five taels of silver.
Ning Wan kept his promise. After taking the money, he placed the jade pendant safely on the stall and left.
Before Ning Wan could jump around for long, Shen Jingze appeared.
"Miss Ning, are you short of money?"
Shen Jingze kept a proper distance and asked softly.
Ning Wan looked at Shen Jingze, who appeared at the last step, and her pupils shrank slightly, a little surprised: "Why is Mr. Shen here?"
Shen Jingze: "On the way."
Ning Wan: ...Why are you so unconvinced?
The next second, Shen Jingze didn't dwell on Ning Wan's answer, but took a small step to the side and walked towards the young man's stall.
Ning Wan naturally followed to take a look.
I saw Shen Jingze also took out a jade pendant and handed it over.
Although Ning Wan's expression didn't show, she was still a little surprised in her heart.
This jade pendant is exactly the same as hers except for the style.
[Host, this jade pendant seems to be mass-produced, and its main use is as a keepsake.]
After gaining first-hand experience, Xiao Qi diligently spread the knowledge.
Ning Wan: ...I can see that this thing is truly made by a master. No, it should be one hundred or one thousand copies.
