Even a single box is this valuable; Xu Zi couldn't imagine how much it would cost in total. After a moment's thought, she glanced at Shu Zhan with a complicated expression.
The latter was speechless and facepalmed. Did she really think that he had prepared all of this?
Even if he were willing, he wouldn't have that much money.
Shu's father had long intended for him to take over the shop, but he was unruly and would rather spend his days eating and waiting to die than look at the account books.
In order to make him comply, Shu's father gave an order at the money shop to limit his monthly allowance.
The fixed monthly allowance wasn't enough to make him live in poverty, but it also prevented him from going out and having fun. No matter how many tokens he exchanged or how many shops he visited, it was all in vain, because they only recognized the master, not the young master.
In this respect, he felt that he and Dr. Xu were somewhat similar.
Shu Zhan stroked his chin, then his eyes suddenly lit up. He finally understood why he felt a connection with this girl.
It turns out she looks like his future daughter!
Thinking about it this way, Shu Zhan suddenly realized that Xu Zi seemed much more pleasing to the eye. After all, what father doesn't dote on his own daughter?
Xu Zi was declining when he was suddenly stared at like that, which gave him goosebumps and made him shiver.
"...What are you doing?"
Upon hearing this, Shu Weishi glanced at him and continued with a smile, "I suppose Zixiang is reluctant to see you leave."
Xu Zi's eyes widened, and he pointed incredulously at his own nose.
For some inexplicable reason, she glanced at Shu Zhan, only to find him glaring at her as well. The two of them quickly turned their heads away as if caught red-handed, saying in unison:
"He can't bear to part with me?!"
"I can't bear to part with her?!"
Everyone in the courtyard: "..." How come they have such great tacit understanding?
This unanimous agreement makes it seem as if the two are trying to cover something up.
"Cough..." Shu Zhan awkwardly touched his nose and secretly glanced at the person next to him, only to see that she was annoyed and her little feet were stomping restlessly.
The movement was very small, but he still noticed it. Ah, after all, no one knows a daughter better than her father.
Shu Weishi knew Shu Zhan's temperament best; his stubbornness was quite similar to his father's.
Nodding helplessly, Shu Weishi said, "Jin Huan, tidy yourself up first. Zi Hui is next door right now and will be here soon. If you have anything to say to her, you can talk to her."
Seeing Xu Zi nod, she added, "I have something to say to Zixiang. He'll come to see you off later."
Xu Zi couldn't refuse, so she could only nod repeatedly... But as she nodded, she felt something was off.
...Why does Madam Shu's statement sound like she wants Shu Zhan, this scoundrel, to come and deliver her away?
Standing there frowning and thinking for a long time, Xu Zi finally realized that she couldn't figure it out on her own. She should wait for Sister Zi Hui to come and ask her.
With her exceptional intelligence and being Madam Shu's own daughter, she would surely be able to resolve her confusion.
Thinking this, Xu Zi smiled and turned around to pack her things when she saw a pile of gifts on the stone table. Her eyes widened immediately.
Oh no, how could she forget to have Madam Shu take these valuable items with her!
Xu Zi slapped his head, feeling annoyed.
...
"What are your thoughts about that Miss Xu?" Shu Weishi walked with her back straight and her demeanor dignified.
"..." Shu Zhan followed with a pained expression, his handsome face almost scrunched up. She had already asked him this question three times!
