Upon hearing this, Geng Yu nodded without hesitation, his voice filled with pride.
"No problem, brother! It's just a small amount of money!"
He immediately called to the manager and readily swiped his card to pay the bill, without even blinking an eye at the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The transaction was completed, but he did not immediately request that the ancient jade be packaged.
Geng Yu turned to the elegant Liu Qingyou beside him, a shrewd smile on his face.
“Miss Liu, I feel a connection with this jade, so I’ll buy it now.”
"However, good things deserve discerning customers. I would like to temporarily store it in your esteemed collection and see if there is another person who understands it better and is willing to pay a higher price."
"Of course, storage fees and commissions if a transaction is successfully completed will be handled according to the rules."
Liu Qingyou nodded slightly, having no objection to this, as Jubaoge already offered consignment services.
"Young Master Geng, you're too kind. It's only natural."
Having resolved the matter of the jade pendant, Geng Yu immediately turned around, rubbing his hands together, and looked at Qin Xiao with anticipation.
"Brother, what about my illness..."
He stared at Qin Xiao expectantly, as if the latter were some kind of peerless divine doctor.
Qin Xiao smiled calmly, turned his gaze to Liu Qingyou, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Miss Liu, is it convenient to borrow a writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone here?"
Liu Qingyou reacted quickly, not at all surprised by the other party's request. On the contrary, she felt that this person's actions had an indescribable elegance.
"Naturally convenient."
She immediately gave instructions to the servants beside her.
"Quickly, go and fetch the writing materials and make room for a small table."
Soon, an exquisite rosewood table was brought over, complete with fine Xuan paper, Huizhou ink, Duan inkstone, and wolf-hair brush, the faint fragrance of ink spreading through the air.
Qin Xiao calmly sat down, rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing his smooth forearms.
He picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and with his wrist suspended in the air, the tip of the brush moved across the rice paper.
A beautiful semi-cursive script followed, with strokes that possessed both the uprightness and steadiness of regular script and the fluidity and agility of semi-cursive script, resembling dragons and phoenixes dancing, possessing its own unique style.
Liu Qingyou, standing beside her, watched with admiration in her beautiful eyes.
Even Yun Yiyi in Qin Xiao's mind couldn't help but marvel.
Wow! Host, you're amazing! Your handwriting is so beautiful!
Qin Xiao continued writing, but responded calmly in his heart.
[It's nothing. Before I transmigrated, I was disobedient as a child and my family beat me for several years. I didn't learn anything else, but I did learn this calligraphy.]
Yun Yi was speechless for a moment, feeling as if she had said something wrong.
【…Host, you've worked hard.】
Looking at the man before her, Liu Qingyou was struck by his handsome appearance, composed demeanor, and even the way he wrote his characters, which stirred ripples in her heart.
However, when she asked softly with a hint of shyness.
"May I ask your esteemed name, sir?"
Qin Xiao put down his pen, handed the completed prescription to Geng Yu, and replied gently.
"My surname is Qin, and my given name is Xiao."
"Qin Xiao? Is that the good-for-nothing playboy who only knows how to eat, drink, and whore?" After saying that, Liu Qingyou realized that it was inappropriate and quickly covered her mouth.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
The blush on Liu Qingyou's face and the light in her eyes instantly dimmed, replaced by a hint of aloofness and wariness.
Qin Xiao from the Qin family in the capital? The rumored good-for-nothing playboy who's good for nothing but eating, drinking, and whoring?
Qin Xiao keenly noticed the change in her expression, understood what was going on, and couldn't help but start ranting and raving.
[So, all that money the original owner squandered wasn't spent on gambling, but all on whoring? Impressive, quite focused!]
He remained expressionless, looking at Liu Qingyou with a slightly amused smile.
"It seems Miss Liu has heard some rumors about Mr. Qin."
"Hearing is unreliable, seeing is believing."
"What others say is just their opinion. As for what kind of person Mr. Qin is, I hope Ms. Liu can judge for herself with her own eyes and heart, rather than being swayed by rumors."
His tone was frank, his eyes were clear, and he showed no embarrassment at being exposed; instead, he exuded a convincing power.
After saying that, he glanced at Liu Qingyou's face, picked up another piece of paper, and began to write again.
With a few quick strokes, another prescription was written.
He handed the prescription to Liu Qingyou.
"I think Miss Liu seems to have some symptoms of uterine coldness. She may have cold hands and feet on weekdays and occasionally feel unwell."
"This is just a small prescription, nothing special. Take three doses and it should be enough to cure you."
Liu Qingyou took the prescription. Her fingertips were slightly cool, and when she touched the paper, it was as if she had also absorbed the warmth of the other person's fingertips.
Looking at the still elegant handwriting on the prescription, and feeling the other person's just-right care and insight, her heart, which had just calmed down, began to beat wildly again.
This man... is so different from the rumors.
He's so handsome, so gentle, and he even knows medicine...
Like a pebble thrown into a still lake, Liu Qingyou's heart rippled with waves. Deep within her, an absurd and uncontrollable thought quietly took root: He was handsome, had a good temperament, wrote beautifully, and seemed to know medicine...
If he is truly as domineering as rumored, and intends to use some means against me...
Liu Qingyou found that her first thought was not to resist, but... she probably couldn't even muster the courage to refuse.
Once this thought arose, it grew wildly in Liu Qingyou's heart like weeds in spring, becoming unstoppable.
She felt her cheeks burning and her heart beating slightly faster; an unprecedented thrill was quietly spreading through her heart.
She couldn't help but raise her head and look in the direction Qin Xiao had left, her eyes filled with a hint of expectation that she herself hadn't even noticed, and... a touch of girlish shyness.
