Don’t know whether it’s because it’s too appetizing.
Words were suddenly heard by the side of her ear. “Hey, girl, what’re you eating? I want to make an exchange with you.”
Sitting by her side, Chen Wen Wan’s hand holding the teacup paused.
As the tree’s shadow swayed, she eventually saw clearly the appearance of the guy who’s speaking. Her beautiful eyes opened wide, powdered lips pursed tightly, the hand gripping the handkerchief didn’t know when it already became rigid. The fingernails pierced the handkerchief and even imprinted red traces onto the palm of her hand. Her heart actually beat wildly.
“My Lady…” Her personal maid tugged at her sleeves, as if to remind her to focus on the situation.
Chen Wen Wan finally seemed to recover, and breathed in deeply, nonchalantly using her sleeves to conceal the palm of her hands. When she looked up, she already became incomparably gentle. “Young Master Hei…”
Hei Ze ‘mm’d once, his overbearing aura was difficult to cover up as he took large steps to cross her, then lowered his eyes to look at Wei Wei. “Girl, you didn’t hear what I said, right?”
“What’re you bringing to exchange with me?” Wei Wei calmly put down the chopsticks in her hand, without planning on taking Young Master Hei’s intent seriously. Last time, during the competition, he even took advantage of her like they were childhood sweethearts or something. She’d simply had enough.
Hei Ze coveted the stewed beef he’d glimpsed at inside her lunchbox. “I’ll use the swallow’s nest soup made by my servant, it’s still iced right now. I’ll give all of it to you.”
“Swallow’s nest?” Wei Wei shrugged her shoulders in disinterest. “Swallow’s saliva, you can leave for yourself to slowly enjoy.”
Hei Ze glared at her for a bit. He originally gave voice in order to help her out of an embarrassing situation. This silly girl, why did she leave the house bringing such totally embarrassing foods. However, after looking at her lunchbox again, his saliva suddenly flowed out. When they enter the temple later, indeed, they wouldn’t have meat to eat. Right now, he actually wanted to eat stewed beef to his heart’s content. “Then what do you want in exchange for your lunchbox.”
“I already ate half, you still want it?” Wei Wei glanced at Hei Ze’s eyes, and knew that the other person fancied the meat in her box. She knew this partner of hers was a young master who couldn’t live without meat and immediately laughed. “It’s possible to have me give it to you. One thousand taels of silver.”
Hei Ze didn’t speak. On the contrary, the little servant by his side jumped. “One thousand taels of silver, you might as well directly rob us!”
Really, within this short time that he wasn’t by his master’s side, what kind of friends had his master been making and why’s he treating this Helian Wei Wei so favorably.
“Think it’s expensive?” Wei Wei was merely joking. After watching the disdain in the little servant’s eyes, she smiled even more widely, the depths of her eyes actually became ice-cold. “Young Master Hei don’t have to buy it.”
Seeing her expression, Hei Ze knew that she became upset. Originally, the two of them always joked at each other, especially these jokes about money. How was it that when other people got involved, a different atmosphere developed.
“I haven’t said anything, what are you butting in for?” Hei Ze said levelly. “Go and prepare a thousand taels of silver for Miss Helian.”
He not only did this to tell the little servant that Wei Wei’s not ordinary, but also to have those young lords know that some jokes should not be said recklessly!
After all, Hei Ze’s identity was clear. Seeing him also eating stewed beef, other people also didn’t say anything more and moved their gazes away embarrassingly, becoming quiet.
Wei Wei naturally understood Hei Ze’s intent, and gently smiled in response. “That’s not necessary, how could it be a thousand taels of silver. If you like it, just take it and eat. I even brought wine, how about it?”
