Chapter 101: Actors in the Republic of China (9)



A teasing voice came from above her head. Qu Lingyuan tilted her head and looked. It was Shu Jin.

"Mr. Jin, are you waiting for me to order?" Qu Lingyuan glared slightly and rolled her eyes.

She is also the first person who dares to roll her eyes at Shujin so far.

Shu Jin narrowed his eyes, lowered his head and leaned close to her ear, threatening: "Such beautiful eyes, it would be a pity not to dig them out."

Knowing that he was joking, Qu Lingyuan still cooperated by shaking three times. Uncle Jin was very satisfied and led her into the house.

"Ling Yuan is here?" Hearing the footsteps, Lin Shuangxue's wrinkled face turned into a kind smile as she looked towards the door.

Seeing that Qu Lingyuan and Shu Jin came in together, his smile deepened.

"Grandma~" Qu Lingyuan came over obediently.

"Ling Yuan looks so beautiful today..." Lin Shuangxue looked at her as if she had discovered a rare treasure. She looked at her grandson with disdain, "It's such a beautiful day, Jin'er, and you're still wearing this military uniform?"

"I..." Shu Jin raised his eyebrows. He could never do anything about this grandma. "I'll go back and change after dinner."

Seeing that someone could calm him down, Qu Lingyuan covered her lips and smiled secretly, but was threatened by a man's eyes again.

After dinner, Shujin went to change clothes, and Lin Shuangxue mysteriously pulled Qu Lingyuan into the inner room.

She took out an exquisite little box from the bedside and put it into Qu Lingyuan's hand.

Qu Lingyuan did not open it immediately, but looked at Madam Lin in confusion.

"Qixi Festival is a festival for us women. This is something for you. Open it and take a look."

After she finished speaking, Qu Lingyuan carefully opened the box and saw a pair of blood jade phoenix bracelets. She knew at first glance that they were rare treasures.

"This was worn by the imperial concubine in the Qing Palace." Old Madam Lin whispered mysteriously in her ear.

"Ah?" Qu Lingyuan's beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with fear. "This... is too expensive..."

The old lady was not very happy and said with a droopy face: "I treat you as my granddaughter, but you don't recognize me as your grandmother?"

Qu Lingyuan hurriedly said that she didn't dare, and under the coercion and inducement of Lin Shuangxue, she accepted the things reluctantly and was supervised to put the bracelet on her wrist.

Not long after, Shujin also came back after changing his clothes.

There were very few styles of clothing for men in the Republic of China, and Shujin didn't want to wear a jacket, so he changed into a suit, which seemed to match Qu Lingyuan somewhat.

He noticed with his sharp eyes that Qu Lingyuan had a pair of red bracelets on her wrists. He glanced at Lin Shuangxue without saying a word.

Grandma's meaning was too obvious. The bracelet had always been passed down to the daughter-in-law of the Shu family.

"Lingyuan, are you going shopping this afternoon?" Lin Shuangxue looked at the two of them standing side by side with a smile.

Shujin must know the meaning of the pair of bracelets. Since he doesn't object, there is hope.

"Yeah," Qu Lingyuan nodded, her eyes sparkling and looking very excited, "It's Qixi Festival, so I want to go out for a walk."

Lin Shuangxue pretended to think for a moment and said, "It's not safe for a girl to be alone outside. Jin'er, you should go with her."

This arrangement was also within Shujin's expectations, and he nodded lightly.

The two of them walked out of the house. Qu Lingyuan felt a little embarrassed. After walking a little further away, she whispered to him, "If Master Jin doesn't want to, then go somewhere else. You don't have to accompany me."

Her petite body crouched beside him, looking so adorable in her sneaky manner.

"I'm not unwilling." Shu Jin stared at her with his dark eyes.

Why did this woman always try to guess what he was thinking and never get it right?

"Ah?" Qu Lingyuan raised her eyes in surprise, and her red lips slightly parted, revealing a row of white teeth.

Walking down the street with Shujin, she still felt like she was dreaming. This person, who was apparently a quiet person, actually went shopping with her.

But Qu Lingyuan didn't think it was a good thing to bring him out.

With Shujin's status, going out shopping was no less than a prince's tour in ancient times. Unfortunately, the beauty following him was looked down upon all the way.

When passing by the entrance of Yunshu, I happened to meet Chu Xiaoer who was buying clothes.

Yunshu launched new styles on the Chinese Valentine's Day. Chu Xiaoer wanted to buy a beautiful dress to meet Shujin, but she saw Shujin accompanying Qu Lingyuan and was not wearing a military uniform yet!

She had never seen Shujin without his military uniform...

Qu Lingyuan's dress was extremely eye-catching, more gorgeous and elegant than any other in the Yunshu store.

Chu Xiaoer felt jealous and immediately walked to Qu Lingyuan.

With Shujin around, she didn't dare to scold him openly, so she could only mock him secretly: "The style of your clothes is copied from Yunshu, right? But Yunshu doesn't sell clothes like this, so it must be a fake."

Qu Lingyuan glanced at her indifferently and didn't want to talk to a fool.

She designed and customized this dress herself, it would be strange if it was sold.

Yun Shaowen, who was in the house, saw Chu Xiaoer actually causing trouble for the little ancestor and hurried out.

"Sir, what's this for?" He said politely, pushing his gold-rimmed glasses with a gentle smile.

This is the expression he uses when entertaining guests, and it never changes.

Seeing Yun Shaowen coming, Chu Xiaoer sneered: "It's just right that the boss is here. Look at this guy, he actually stole Yun Shu's designs to make clothes. Although actors don't make much money, they can't be so shameless, right?"

Yun Shaowen got angry after hearing this. In his eyes, Qu Lingyuan was one of his own and he was very protective of her.

He gave Qu Lingyuan a pretentious look and immediately put on an exaggerated and flattering smile: "Little Ancestor, why are you here?"

Chu Xiaoer: “???”

Shu Jin: “???”

Passerby: “???”

Qu Lingyuan covered half of her charming face with one hand, feeling helpless.
