Chapter 58: Belated affection is cheaper than grass. What does it have to do with me whether you are in pain or not?
Shen Yuan was not surprised when she revealed her identity to the man.
If you can't even recognize the identity of the customers who come in, then there's no point in doing business.
She picked up the tea and took a sip.
The man in red looked at Shen Yuan, "Madam, what do you think of the taste of this tea?"
Shen Yuan nodded and pushed the banknote over again, "Master, let's talk business first."
The man in red looked at Chen Yuan, a smile in his upturned peach blossom eyes.
After a moment, he pushed the banknote back to Chen Yuan, "Madam, Ruyi Tower never goes back on its word, nor does it destroy its reputation."
Chen Yuan was not surprised by this result. She took out another stack of banknotes and put them on top.
She raised her eyes and looked at the man. "I know the rules of your Ruyi Tower. No matter how much money the Fourth Prince offers, I will double the price."
The man in red suddenly laughed. His laughter was deep and had a certain charm. "Madam, you are really generous. But do you think my Ruyi Tower is short of money?"
"Ma'am, what do you think of this roof?"
Shen Yuan didn't understand why the man in front of him suddenly changed the subject.
She looked up at the rooftops shimmering like the Milky Way and said honestly, "It's beautiful."
The man in red chuckled and looked into Chen Yuan's eyes. "Madam, you have good taste. This roof was built for an old friend. She once told me that she loved looking at the stars the most."
Chen Yuan had no intention of prying into other people's privacy, but he just felt that something was wrong.
The person in front of her gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Suddenly I didn't want to stay any longer.
She stood up and said, "If the owner of this post doesn't want to do this business, then just pretend I haven't been here."
Her patience was still so poor. The man in red chuckled and stopped Shen Yuan when she was about to leave.
"Ma'am, wait, I didn't say no."
Shen Yuan turned around, "Conditions."
"The Shen family is unrivaled in jade carving. I would like my wife to carve a piece of jade for my beloved."
This was not a harsh condition, so Shen Yuan agreed.
"Don't worry, Madam. I will take care of it now, and there will be someone for you to use when the time comes."
"In that case, thank you very much, OP."
The man in red looked at her with burning eyes, "Madam, please call me Yan Xi."
"In that case, thank you, Master Yan."
Yan Xi: "......"
It was a long time after Shen Yuan left that Yan Xi withdrew his gaze. He stared at the dome and murmured, "His little Yuan'er still didn't recognize him."
But it doesn't matter, when the time is right, he will take her away.
He walked to the table, picked up the cup of tea that Shen Yuan had drunk, and poured all the remaining tea onto the ground with a flip of his hand.
After Chen Yuan came out of Ruyi Tower, the tension in her heart subsided.
She was sure that she did not know the man named Yan Xi. There had never been such a person in her past life or this life.
But why does it feel so familiar?
After leaving Ruyi Tower, a black gold wooden carriage was parked there quietly.
Chen Yuan smiled, lifted the curtain and walked up, "Sir, why are you here?"
Gu Huailing's expression was dull, and dark clouds seemed to gather in his eyes. "I heard from the secret guards that you came to Ruyi Tower. This place is full of good and bad people. I am worried."
Chen Yuan lowered her eyelashes, trying to get away with it, "I heard there's an auction here, and I wanted to come and see if there's any good jade."
There was no expression on Gu Huailing's face, as if he believed it but also seemed not to believe it.
Chen Yuan couldn't explain to Gu Huailing what he was going to do, because no one would believe what happened in his past life.
It was a little quiet in the carriage, and Shen Yuan didn't like this kind of atmosphere.
She deliberately raised her eyebrows and pretended to be pitiful. "Why are you so fierce, sir? I just came to Ruyi Tower. You said before that you would not restrict my freedom. If you are angry, I will never go out again."
But the more he spoke, the more aggrieved he felt, and in the end he didn't even look at Huai Ling.
Gu Huailing felt a little helpless. She was clearly hiding something from him, lying to him but still blaming him.
"Are you angry?" Gu Huailing looked at the woman who turned her head away.
Shen Yuan's tone was very hard, "How dare I be angry with you?"
Gu Huailing took Shen Yuan's hand, held her in his arms, and patiently explained,
"I'm not forbidding you from going out, but Ruyi Tower is a dangerous place. Yan Xi is the new owner, and his identity and origins are unknown. I don't want you to have any contact with him."
The carriage was very quiet. Gu Huailing gave all his patience to Chen Yuan, and spoke each word in a gentle tone.
"Madam, if you have any questions, please tell me directly. If you want good jade, I have plenty in my private vault, all of which belong to you."
I've been coaxing you so gently, it would be too much to turn my face away again.
Gu Huailing's eyes were too sharp, with a clear understanding that he could see through everything. Chen Yuan couldn't look at him at the moment and could only look away.
Gu Huailing hugged Chen Yuan and said, "Madam, don't be angry. It's my fault. I was too nervous. If you want to come next time, I will accompany you, okay?"
Chen Yuan nodded, and her anger was half gone.
Gu Huailing kissed the corner of her lips, "Thank you, ma'am."
The carriage arrived at the Gu Mansion, but Gu Huailing did not get off. He looked at Chen Yuan with a gentle expression, "Madam, please go back first. There are some matters in the court that I need to deal with. I will be quick and will not keep you waiting for long."
Chen Yuan looked at the gradually darkening sky and asked Gu Huailing in the carriage, "Will you be back tonight, sir? I'll have the kitchen prepare dinner for you."
Gu Huailing's eyes shone softly, and he looked at Chen Yuan with a mellow voice, "It won't be too late to go back."
On the way back to Shen Du Yuan, Chen Yuan thought about how willful he was and felt that it was a bit too much.
Gu Huailing really spoiled himself.
When I was almost at Shenduyuan, a voice suddenly came from behind me.
"Yuan'er!"
Chen Yuan recognized who it was, but did not look back. Instead, he quickened his pace and walked towards Shen Du Yuan.
"Chen Yuan!" Gu Jingchu walked quickly and stood in front of Shen Yuan.
"What's the matter?" Shen Yuan looked at him and said calmly.
It was this kind of calmness that made Gu Jingchu feel like his heart was being cut by a knife.
Now, even Chen Yuan's emotions have become a luxury for him.
Gu Jingchu took a step forward, looking somewhat bewildered, "Yuan'er,"
"Watch your words. I am your sister-in-law now."
Gu Jingchu's face turned pale, and the pain that seemed to be cutting his heart came back.
He looked at the woman's cold eyes and laughed at himself, "Is it so painful?"
Despite this, he still almost greedily looked at Shen Yuan's face. The beauty that once belonged to him alone now belonged to another person.
Gu Jingchu felt like he was suffocating.
He held his chest and told himself that it was okay, his Yuan'er was just angry and would forgive him sooner or later.
"If you have nothing to do, don't block the way." Chen Yuan had no time to look at the expression on Gu Jingchu's face, she just wanted to leave quickly.
"I have something." Gu Jingchu suddenly took out an exquisite lantern from behind him.
There was no candle lit in the lantern, but there were little stars.
Gu Jingchu held the lantern in front of Shen Yuan, looked at her cautiously, and said softly: "I remember you wanted a lantern filled with fireflies like this before. It was my fault for always making you wait."
"Now that we have the lanterns, can you calm down? I caught all these fireflies myself."
"Look, does it look like the starry sky you long for in your heart?"
Gu Jingchu wanted to hand the lantern to Chen Yuan, but seeing that the woman had no intention of taking it, he did not force her.
"Don't you like this style? Can I change it tomorrow?"
