The two walked up to a shop selling hairpins.
Shen Nanzhi picked up a hairpin, and the proprietress smiled and praised, "This young master has excellent taste. This lily of the valley hairpin is the most popular style this year. The two of you are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. The lily of the valley symbolizes love and beauty. It would be most appropriate for you to buy this hairpin for this young lady. The color of the flower matches the young lady's outfit today very well."
Shen Nanzhi's eyes lit up at the proprietress's words.
Mu Chenshuang wanted to politely decline, but Shen Nanzhi preemptively said, "Then I'll take this one."
Shen Nanzhi paid the money directly.
The proprietress reached out and took the silver. "Young master, you may put it on the young lady."
Shen Nanzhi held the hairpin, looked down at Mu Chenshuang, and said, "I'll put it on you."
Use an affirmative tone rather than a question.
Mu Chenshuang couldn't very well contradict him in front of others, so she could only let Shen Nanzhi put it on her.
Before Shen Nanzhi could even utter a word of praise, the proprietress couldn't help but say, "Young lady, you really look beautiful wearing this. I've never seen such a beautiful young lady in my old age. It's truly a beauty's hairpin. In the new year, I wish you both a harmonious and long-lasting marriage."
The proprietress was indeed very good at business, but she had clearly misunderstood something. Mu Chenshuang didn't know how to explain, but it seemed there was no need to explain.
In contrast to Mu Chenshuang's indifferent attitude, Shen Nanzhi's joy was evident on his face upon hearing the proprietress's words. He thanked her and bought a few more bottles.
"Why are you buying so much?" Mu Chenshuang quickly interrupted.
Shen Nanzhi picked up a hairpin and looked at her. "I noticed you're not wearing the one I gave you, so I'll give you a few more."
His expression appeared calm and indifferent, but a closer look revealed a hint of bitterness in the corners of his lips.
Mu Chenshuang was taken aback. He probably thought she didn't like the hairpin, so he was giving her a few more to wear according to her preference.
But she couldn't tell him that the hairpin had been stolen by the people that night, and now she didn't know how to get it back.
She calmly withdrew her gaze and said softly, "I really like that hairpin." This was the truth.
Looking at her earnest expression, Shen Nanzhi felt a sense of comfort.
In the end, Shen Nanzhi still bought a few hairpins.
However, every move they made, including what they said, was heard by someone. At this distance and in this lively environment, it was not difficult for Fu Junheng to hear their conversation.
But why is he so concerned about what they are saying?
Feng Ji glanced sideways and saw Fu Junheng's brows furrowed, his face growing increasingly gloomy. She couldn't help but say, "You take someone else's hairpin, but Shen Nanzhi can continue to give her more hairpins. So why do you do this? It will only make her more suspicious of you."
He clearly didn't want Mu Chenshuang to know who the father of the child in her belly was, but he was doing things that made Mu Chenshuang suspicious of him. I don't know what he was thinking.
Fu Junheng lowered his hand, the broken cup scattered on the table. His face was sullen, and he did not respond to Feng Ji's words.
At this moment.
Two people downstairs were seen walking towards Jinyulou.
Feng Ji turned to look at him and tentatively asked, "Want to go somewhere else?"
Fu Junheng's handsome face was clouded with gloom as he said in a cold tone, "No need."
Upon hearing this, Feng Ji lifted his robe and sat down opposite him. He said, "If you don't need it, then you don't need it. Anyway, it's not me who will feel uncomfortable."
It was a coincidence, wasn't it?
Shen Nanzhi and Mu Chenshuang went to the private room next door.
