Chapter 182: Okay, my husband won't sell it

Chu Chengye couldn't help but tilt his head and laugh, "What's the big deal? There is no rule in the laws of Southern Qi that people other than children cannot hold lanterns."

There is indeed no rule.

But the lanterns are the highlight today. Everyone who comes here pays special attention to the lanterns. Seeing that the one in Cheng Jin's hand is exquisite and special, everyone who passes by will take a look.

The child who was still picking out lanterns nearby pointed at the one in Cheng Jin's hand and cried coquettishly to his parents, "I don't want these, I want hers."

The child's parents had no choice but to walk towards Cheng Jin and asked her awkwardly, "Girl, where did you buy this lantern in your hand? The child is crying and asking for the same one, can you tell us?"

"Or maybe you can offer a price..." The child's mother couldn't bear to see the child crying like that and just wanted to make her child happy.

Cheng Jin was startled for a moment, then looked at the child not far away who was staring at the lantern in her hand. She raised her eyebrows and held up the lantern in her hand. She smiled and said, "Well, you can't buy this anywhere else. There is only one in the world."

Having said this, Cheng Jin looked at Chu Chengye, "So, I won't sell it."

Chu Chengye met Cheng Jin's gaze and couldn't help but curling the corners of his lips.

The child not far away was still looking at his parents eagerly to negotiate, but seeing that his parents had not reached an agreement for such a long time, he was a little anxious. He ran over and grabbed his mother's clothes. He whispered:

"Mom, I want this, I want this, you buy it for me."

Cheng Jin bent down to look at the child, with a gentle look, "Child, do you want this?"

The child nodded heavily with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Cheng Jin stood up straight, "But I'm sorry, sister won't sell it."

The child was directly mad at Cheng Jin and cried. He once again retreated behind his parents and cried loudly.

"I don't care! I want it! Dad, I want this."

The young parents had no choice but to comfort their children while communicating with Cheng Jin and Chu Chengye again.

The child's father noticed that Cheng Jin kept looking at Chu Chengye, so he negotiated with Chu Chengye.

"Sir, you see, my child really likes it, otherwise he wouldn't cry so hard."

"Just sell it to me, any price is fine."

"You can't let the child cry all the time, it won't look good."

Chu Chengye raised his eyes lightly, his cold eyes locked on the child's father.

"You heard it, my wife doesn't want to sell it."

Cheng Jin's eyes widened slightly when Chu Chengye suddenly called her "wife", but she quickly reacted.

It seems right to call her that.

Cheng Jin nodded and continued Chu Chengye's words, "If your child likes it, should you give it to him even if he cries? Then I still like it, so I'm still crying."

Cheng Jin hugged Chu Chengye's arms with both hands and pretended to cry, "Husband! I like it too, please don't sell it, okay?"

Cheng Jin's acting was very fake, but her voice was very loud, and many people around were attracted by Cheng Jin's movements.

The parents were also well-known people, so naturally they didn't want to stand here and be criticized by so many people.

They looked at the crying child and couldn't hold back their temper anymore, so they raised their hands and patted the child on the head.

"Yes, yes, yes, you want everything. Just buy the one just now. If you don't want it, go home now!"

The child seemed to be frightened by the sudden change of his parents. He soon stopped sobbing, snorted his runny nose, and whispered, "Yes."

The parents took their child to buy it and left quickly.

Cheng Jin watched it seriously.

It is still effective to beat the naughty child.

Chu Chengye looked at Cheng Jin and suddenly raised his hand to touch Cheng Jin's hair. He suddenly laughed out loud and crooked his eyes. The expression that was cold just now suddenly became colorful, continuing the play that Cheng Jin had just played.

"Okay, my husband won't sell it."

Cheng Jin was stunned for a moment before she reacted to what Chu Chengye said. She looked up at Chu Chengye for a long time and her breathing stopped.

Cheng Jin suddenly turned around, swallowed her saliva, and her voice changed, "Thank you."

When she walked to the middle of the street, there were a lot of people gathered around. People were stacked in circles, and Cheng Jin couldn't see them at all because of her height.

Cheng Jin thought about going to other places first, and then coming back when there were fewer people.

Chu Chengye followed Cheng Jin, and the two of them walked in unison, and their shoulders bumped into each other from time to time.

The boss of the lantern riddle shop next to them noticed the pair of Cheng Jin and Chu Chengye, who had a very different aura. He immediately noticed the business opportunity and waved to Cheng Jin to come over.

"Sir, Miss, the grand prize of the lantern riddle game will be given to your loved one."

Originally, Cheng Jin was not interested in this matter. After all, with her literary accomplishment, it was basically giving money to the boss.

Besides, no matter how big the prizes for the lanterns in the guessing lantern riddle game are, they are probably just some small gimmicky items.

Cheng Jin didn't want to lose face for these things.

Cheng Jin was about to turn around and leave, but when the boss took out his grand prize, Cheng Jin's eyes widened.

The boss smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Our grand prize is a golden lock, which means that love is stronger than gold and will never be separated."

"It's five cents

for each guess. If you get all the answers right, you can take the golden lock home for free, and the five cents will be returned to you. It's free, why don't you try it?" Cheng Jin couldn't resist the words free and free.

Besides, she had received nine years of compulsory education after all, and she still understood some simple common sense. Could these lantern riddles still stump her?

Cheng Jin's initial retreat instantly disappeared when she saw the big gold lock in the boss's hand, and all turned into confidence.

She looked at Chu Chengye tentatively, and Chu Chengye nodded at her.

Cheng Jin waved her arm, "I guess."

The boss looked at Cheng Jin and smiled a little more, and Cheng Jin handed the money to the boss.

The boss took down one of the lanterns behind him with a smile, and handed the riddle hidden inside to Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin's smile immediately collapsed the moment she opened the small piece of paper.

Cheng Jin asked seriously: "Boss, can I get my money back?"

The boss smiled and shook his head.

She really overestimated herself.

But five cents is still money. Cheng Jin read the riddle again, as if trying to find something that could be cracked.

"The left side doesn't come out, the right side doesn't come out, either it doesn't come out, or it doesn't come out. Guess a word."

Cheng Jin didn't know what the answer to the riddle was, she only knew that she was overwhelmed and the money was gone.

Seeing that the time was up, Cheng Jin still had no idea. Just when Cheng Jin accepted her fate, Chu Chengye beside her suddenly came up.
