Chapter 212 This is another price

"Get out of the way."

Xiao Jinxuan separated the crowd and accurately picked out Xie Zhuoning from the crowd of women.

He lowered his eyes to her face and smiled, "Have you had enough fun?"

Feeling a chill on his back, Xie Zhuoning chuckled, "I've had enough fun."

The group of women who were originally surrounding Xie Zhuoning, upon seeing such a handsome young man coming, immediately became eager to make a move and rushed over in a coquettish manner.

"Hey, what a handsome young man, let me accompany you~"

"Get out of here! I was here first!"

"Aren't you going to serve your eighty-year-old Grandmother Zhang?"

"Whoever wants to serve me can do so. Sir, I am here~"

But before he could meet Xiao Jinxuan, he was froze in place by that icy gaze.

His eyes swept across indifferently, like the cold and shining blade of a sword, and his aura was so strong that no one dared to ignore it.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and no one dared to take another step forward.

Ignoring them, Xiao Jinxuan picked up Xie Zhuoning and walked away, only putting her down when they were alone.

Xie Zhuoning straightened his robe and whispered, "Can you please stop carrying me like this in the future? It feels like you're carrying a kitten or a puppy."

"Cat and dog?" Xiao Jinxuan smiled, stretched out his hand to lift her chin, and gently wiped away the red lipstick that had been smeared on her face with his fingertips. "Disobedient cats and dogs will be tied up by their owners."

He actually wished he could just tie her to his side.

Xie Zhuoning's hair stood on end in an instant.

Why does it feel like Xiao Jinxuan is getting more and more dangerous?

She quickly stepped back and said, "Hongxiu's room is just ahead, let's go over there quickly."

…

Indoors.

Hongxiu was leaning on the couch, her shoulders half exposed, her eyes seductive.

However, the man who was sitting and sipping tea did not move at all, and was too lazy to even raise his head.

Seeing that flirting for a long time was useless, Hongxiu lost her patience and said, "Master Yang, every time you come here, you just sit there and do nothing. Is that not okay?"

Yang Fangwen said slowly, "Girl, please respect yourself."

"Hahaha, that's so funny. You expect a prostitute like me to respect myself?" Hongxiu laughed so hard that tears were about to come out, as if she had heard something so funny.

"Don't you think I'll be grateful to you just because you didn't hold me accountable for what happened last time? You're dreaming! If you can't do it, get out of here right now and don't affect my business!"

After taking a sip of tea, Yang Fangwen said slowly, "I checked. When your father sold you to the casino, it was Captain Jian who was desperate and even pawned his deceased mother's hairpin to redeem you, right?"

So when she said she had nothing to do with Jian Liang, she was obviously lying!

Hongxiu's eyes froze for a moment, and then she raised a hint of sarcasm, "So what? That idiot really thought he was a hero and wanted to save me from the dire situation. What was the result? He just redeemed me from the casino, and the next moment I was sold to a brothel."

Her beastly father would have wished there were more good men like him, who could have saved her more times and made more money from her.

"I have never met a more stupid person than him. After knowing that I was sold to a brothel, he still wanted to redeem me. He didn't even think about the fact that his meager salary for ten years is not worth a night with me. If you want to be a hero, wait for your next life!"

The harsher the taunt, the deeper the nails dig into the palm.

It seems that the more pain the body feels, the more it can cover up the pain in the heart.

She smiled in a very mocking and gorgeous way, but there was no smile in her eyes.

Yang Fangwen sighed, "Why are you doing this?"

Hong Xiu looked coldly and fiddled with her bright red nail polish, "Don't come and lecture me. You are not a good person either. Tut - dog official!"

Yang Fangwen: “…”

Every day ends like this, when will it end?

At this moment, the old servant who was guarding the door came in and whispered a few words in his ear.

He couldn't help showing a surprised look, "What? Why are they here? Forget it, let them in."

Hearing the noise, Hongxiu raised her eyelids, "Anyone else coming? Let me make it clear, there's another price!"

The door opened and a tall and handsome figure walked in.

His white robe was as white as snow, his brows were stern, and his whole person looked like the cool breeze and the cold moon. Even his bones exuded a sense of nobility and elegance.

Hongxiu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "This gentleman is so handsome, it's okay if he doesn't pay more."

Yang Fangwen couldn't help shaking his head as he watched Hongxiu's expression change faster than turning the pages of a book.

He had met many different kinds of people, but he had never met such a moody and unpredictable woman.

"Whatever, no extra charge?" Xie Zhuoning popped his head out from behind Xiao Jinxuan and looked into the house.

Looking at the wretched little man with a mustache, Hong Xiu curled her lips in disdain, "You have to increase it, you have to double it, no, triple it!"

Xie Zhuoning: "..."

Don't judge people by their appearance!

Hong Xiu ignored her and went straight to Xiao Jinxuan with a smile on her face, "Sir, whether you want to listen to music or play the piano, I can do both. If you don't like it, I can order something else..."

Seeing that she was right in front of him, Xiao Jinxuan immediately pulled Xie Zhuoning from behind into his arms, blocking Hongxiu.

Seeing the intimate posture of the two, Hongxiu was stunned, then took two steps back, revealing a look of contempt, "Huh~ Turns out it's Duanxiu, what a waste of my expression!"

Seeing that everyone had left and Xiao Jinxuan had no intention of letting her go, Xie Zhuoning quickly reminded him, "Ahem, Xiao Jinxuan, you can let go now."

After all, she is a man now, and it feels weird for two people to be together.

If someone who knows him sees this, I'm afraid that the rumor that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is a traitor will spread everywhere tomorrow.

Xiao Jinxuan then withdrew his arms, and his arms suddenly felt empty.

The cool breeze blows in, but I always feel empty.

Lifting his robe, he sat down opposite Yang Fangwen.

Yang Fangwen quickly made tea for the two of them, "Please."

Seeing that the number of people waiting for her had increased from one to three, Hongxiu frowned and said unhappily, "What on earth are you doing here? I've already told you that I know nothing. You might as well just kill me!"

Hongxiu looks dissolute, but she is actually very strong-willed and not afraid of death at all. No threats or inducements will work against her.

Otherwise, with Yang Fangwen's methods, why would the situation have remained deadlocked until now and he is helpless?

Xie Zhuoning stroked his mustache, stood up and walked in front of her. "Miss Hongxiu, to be honest, I really have something to ask you for help. Ever since my young lady saw your hairpin last time, she has been obsessed with it and has lost her appetite. She insisted on sending me to buy it back. Otherwise, just name a price!"

Hong Xiu suddenly became alert, "How could your young lady like such a broken hairpin?"

Xie Zhuoning frowned, "Isn't this just like you, Miss Hongxiu? You just like plain things."

"This hairpin is my favorite, I won't sell it!" Hongxiu said firmly.

Hearing this, Xie Zhuoning burst into laughter. "It's really strange. Miss Hongxiu hates and despises Captain Jian so much, but she insists on keeping his hairpin... Why? Is she reluctant to part with the last relic of her lover?"

Hong Xiu squinted at her for a while, then smiled, "It's nothing to be reluctant about. I'm just afraid that you can't afford it."

"You name a price."

"One hundred thousand taels! Give me the money and I'll give you the hairpin!"

This is a price that no one can accept. It is simply an exorbitant price!

But Xie Zhuoning said without hesitation, "Okay."

She took out 10,000 taels from her sleeve and slapped it on the table. "This is the deposit. I will send someone to collect the rest within one day. Miss Hongxiu, is it time to give me the hairpin?"

Hong Xiu's expression became visibly flustered...
