Chapter 169 The Female Lead's Halo



Meng Qingrou looked up at He Yunxiao and felt that he was different from usual today.

Normally, he's either calm, trying to please me, or stern and unsmiling. Sometimes, he can be annoying, like he's thinking bad things.

Meng Qingrou had never seen He Yunxiao like this before. Not only was he excited, but he also spoke in a very loud and affirmative tone, saying very affectionate things.

It's like I have to buy something today.

It's obvious that "wanting to buy everything" is a very capricious request.

Meng Qingrou is a sensible girl. In fact, she knows that she can be very willful and unreasonable when she does certain things. However, for her, the feeling of being willful and then being satisfied is really good and addictive.

Even knowing you're wrong, I still choose to continue down that wrong path with you.

Every time my whims are satisfied, it feels like I've confessed my feelings and succeeded.

I'm very happy.

Meng Qingrou's favorability rating has increased from 55 to 57.

Just by looking at the rising favorability rating, He Yunxiao knew that his wife, Nanzhu, must be very happy right now, but he had to say something that made him less happy.

"Namjoo, there's something I need to tell you."

"What?"

"These 'small animals' are actually not for sale."

Meng Qingrou gradually froze, her big eyes filled with confusion.

He Yunxiao laughed and said, "It's not for sale, but we can talk to the shopkeeper about it. The 'Little Fat Dog' I bought for you yesterday was actually three porcelain plates that I bought, and then I added an extra tael of silver to get it from the shopkeeper."

"And what about the boss?"

He Yunxiao pointed to a small door at the back of the shop and said, "Behind that door, they're probably making porcelain. Rou'er, take me there."

"Um."

Meng Qingrou agreed and took small steps, pulling He Yunxiao forward.

If she encountered customers walking back and forth, she would be hesitant to move forward. She would stand still and observe for a while to see if the person would appear in her path before she would feel comfortable pulling He Yunxiao along.

Looking at his wife, Nanzhu, who was pulling him along, He Yunxiao felt a sense of déjà vu, like watching elementary school students cross the street.

Although Meng Qingrou's method was time-consuming and unnecessary, it was the first time she had tried to "go shopping" on her own initiative. Although He Yunxiao could simply pull her along, it was better not to force things for the sake of his wife Nanzhu's long-term development.

Let her gradually adapt to life outside the palace.

A man hurried away, taking a route unexpectedly for Meng Qingrou. He circled the porcelain for a while, then left in a flurry. He passed right where Meng Qingrou and He Yunxiao were standing. This truly startled Meng Qingrou.

She skillfully shrank behind He Yunxiao, and only after the man left did she peek out and feel relieved before coming out.

He Yunxiao observed silently throughout.

After ensuring their safety, Meng Qingrou pulled He Yunxiao back up and said, "Let's go."

He Yunxiao looked at the alternating traits of "cowardly as a mouse" and "independent and self-reliant" in his wife, Nanzhu, and smiled without saying a word.

So Meng Qingrou pulled He Yunxiao along with her until they passed through the small door and arrived at the back of the "Yaohui New Porcelain" shop.

Behind Yaohui New Porcelain's shop lies the "back" of the north-facing commercial street. Like behind Chunfenglou, behind the commercial street is also a residential area.

Yaohui New Porcelain's workshop is located in this residential area.

He Yunxiao directed Meng Qingrou to walk, and the two arrived in front of a house.

He Yunxiao, wanting to train Nan Zhu's wife, said, "Rou'er, you tell her, 'I want to see the kiln owner.'"

"Um."

The two men stood at the door for a while, and then a servant came up to ask, "What are you two doing here?"

He Yunxiao scratched Nan Zhu's wife's palm, and she mustered her courage and said, "We, we want to go into the kiln..."

I thought she wouldn't dare to speak up, but I didn't expect her to be so daring!

He quickly used his free hand to cover Nan Zhu's wife's mouth through her veil, and awkwardly explained, "If you want to see the kiln owner, please inform him."

Seeing that He Yunxiao and his companion were dressed in extraordinary attire, the servant did not dare to delay and hurriedly went to inform them.

A moment later, a man in his mid-twenties, whose hands were still wet from wiping, hurried out. Seeing He Yunxiao, he asked in surprise, "Young Master He? What brings you here again?"

He Yunxiao said, "To be honest, I'd like to buy some more 'ceramic animals'."

"Which one would you like, young master?"

I want them all.

The kiln owner frowned and shook his head, saying, "None of them... no, absolutely not. Those small animals are quite difficult to make, Young Master He, please cherish the fruits of my labor. I'll give you one more at most, but please don't ask for anything else."

He Yunxiao was helpless. With the original owner's reputation as "the number one playboy in Yinjing," the kiln owner of Yaohui New Porcelain probably thought that he would not cherish these porcelains at all.

With Nan Zhu's wife standing nearby, He Yunxiao couldn't use his power to forcibly take it from her; that would set a bad example for the children.

"I hope the kiln owner will be lenient. I didn't buy it for myself, but because my sister likes it."

"younger sister?"

The kiln owner glanced at Meng Qingrou beside He Yunxiao, and looking into her clear eyes, he felt a sense of peace wash over him. He even spontaneously felt that she was an extremely beautiful and kind girl, even though she was still wearing a veil.

The kiln owner, originally devoted to the art of porcelain making, was in his thirties and still unmarried, believing himself to be destined to be without women. But after gazing at He Yunxiao's "sister" for a while, he found himself unconsciously developing feelings of affection for her. He even felt a pang of jealousy towards He Yunxiao, who was holding her hand.
