Chapter 121 We are sisters, not enemies
Now, Zhou Huai'an realized that he was being far too excited.
His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his face was terribly gloomy. He then said, "Miss Xie, we are enough here. You should go over there!"
"Oh? This rouge shop belongs to the Sixth Prince?" Xie Qingran asked again, her smile ambiguous, revealing a hint of amusement.
Zhou Huai'an had never encountered a woman who treated him like this before, and he became interested. He looked at her curiously and asked, "What, Miss Xie, are you reluctant to leave?"
"Xie Qingran, why didn't you greet me when you came?" Shen Wenyuan suddenly appeared, still dressed like a peacock, beaming with joy.
Sometimes, Xie Qingran was really curious about why this person could always be so carefree and cheerful.
"Greetings, Second Young Master."
Xie Qingran took a step back and bowed respectfully.
Seeing her aloof manner, Shen Wenyuan was somewhat displeased. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhou Huai'an and Gu Xiangyuan, and immediately stepped forward to bow: "Greetings, Sixth Prince. What would you like, Your Highness? There's nothing good downstairs. Why don't we go upstairs to a private room, sit down, and take our time to choose? We can also try this year's Snow-Top Jadeite!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Zhou Huai'an responded and looked at Gu Xiangyuan.
"You must be tired too, let's go upstairs and get some rest."
As he spoke, Zhou Huai'an reached out and pulled Gu Xiangyuan.
But Xie Qingran reacted even faster, pulling Gu Xiangyuan along and striding upstairs, leaving the two of them behind.
After Xie Qingran ruined his plans time and time again, Zhou Huai'an could hardly contain himself. His face was terribly gloomy, but he could only suppress his anger for the time being. He couldn't just openly turn against her like that.
Upstairs in the private room, fine tea and snacks were prepared.
Shen Wenyuan looked at Xie Qingran as if presenting a treasure: "This tea was just delivered this morning. It's called Snow Peak Green Tea, which is very rare in the capital. Only the palace has a little bit of it, and the rest is all here. But you're lucky that you came just as the tea arrived. You should try it."
"It's just a cup of tea, why are you making such a fuss?" Xie Qingran frowned slightly and looked at Shen Wenyuan with some disdain.
Shen Wenyuan never expected to be scolded like this the moment he opened his mouth.
He felt a moment of embarrassment, then smiled somewhat sheepishly: "Drink up, I mean, this is good tea."
"Thanks."
Xie Qingran picked up the teacup and, without any hesitation, took a sip. It was indeed a fine product.
Shen Wenyuan is a spendthrift; he probably owns all the most luxurious and best things in the capital.
"By the way, have you heard? There's rampant banditry in Nanshan, and they frequently harass the people. His Majesty is very angry about this, so he's ordered General Zhao to lead men to suppress them!"
As Shen Wenyuan finished speaking, his gaze suddenly fell on Xie Qingran.
"General Zhao has already set off, so I'm afraid he won't be able to attend your wedding!"
Xie Qingran clearly sensed that this person seemed to be gloating.
She rolled her eyes, lowered her head, and continued drinking her tea.
After observing her for a while, I know that Shen Wenyuan doesn't seem to have any wariness or malice towards her right now, so for the time being, we can leave her alone and even use her.
"By the way, you're getting married soon, and after looking around, I finally found this one!"
"I'll give this to you as a wedding gift, is that alright?"
Shen Wenyuan smiled, and then, as if by magic, produced a luminous pearl the size of a fist.
this……
Zhou Huai'an was stunned for a moment when he saw the luminous pearl, then smiled and said, "I've never seen such a big luminous pearl before. It seems that Young Master Shen is really generous to Miss Xie."
"This is too valuable, I can't accept it," Xie Qingran said truthfully.
This thing is priceless. The most important thing is that even if you have money, you may not be able to buy something this good.
Thinking of this, Xie Qingran's expression changed, and she smiled slightly at Shen Wenyuan: "This is a treasure, it's best not to show it off in the future!"
"It's nothing to me."
"I don't care, I've already taken it out, you have to accept it!"
Without waiting for a reply, Shen Wenyuan shoved the luminous pearl directly into Xie Qingran's hands.
"elder sister!"
Xie Hanyue's voice suddenly came as she walked in happily, with Lu Jinzhi behind her.
When they entered, they saw Shen Wenyuan holding Xie Qingran's hand.
Lu Jin stepped forward, arms crossed, and looked coldly at Xie Qingran: "The wedding is just around the corner, and you're still so shameless. It's really a disservice to Prince Xiao."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Shen Wenyuan immediately withdrew his hand, frowning and looking at Lu Jinzhi with displeasure.
"I was just giving her a wedding gift."
"Besides, the Sixth Prince and the Third Miss are both here, what can I do?"
Zhou Huai'an also tapped on the table to attract Lu Jinzhi's attention.
Lu Jinzhi was the Empress's nephew, so he naturally didn't like Zhou Huai'an. When he saw Zhou Huai'an, he gave a perfunctory bow: "So the Sixth Prince is here too. I'm so sorry."
"Wow, sister, what's this?"
Xie Hanyue looked at the luminous pearl in Xie Qingran's hand with envy.
"A wedding gift from Young Master Shen."
Xie Qingran replied casually, then placed the luminous pearl on the table.
"This is the first time I've ever seen such a large luminous pearl. Young Master Shen is so kind to my sister."
"Sister, I really envy you. You have a future husband like Prince Xiao and Young Master Shen who is so considerate to you. You are so lucky."
Xie Hanyue, seemingly oblivious to everything, looked at Xie Qingran with unwavering admiration.
However, her words implied that Xie Qingran was promiscuous and deliberately trying to ruin Xie Qingran's reputation.
Xie Qingran was already used to this person's nonsense, so she didn't take it to heart. She simply said, "Young Master Lu would go through fire and water for you, why are you envious of me? Look at the two of you, always together, that's what makes others envious!"
"Sister, what are you saying?" Xie Hanyue stared wide-eyed in disbelief, gritting her teeth as she looked at Xie Qingran: "You, what do you mean by this? You're ruining my reputation."
Xie Qingran raised an eyebrow: "When you talk about me, it's like a younger sister teasing her older sister. How come when I talk about you, it's like I'm deliberately ruining your reputation? Your mouth is your mouth, but mine isn't?"
"I...I didn't mean that, sister. Why are you always so sarcastic towards me? We're sisters, not enemies." Xie Hanyue sighed helplessly.
