Chapter 541: Chapter 545: Be My Woman_1
Before long, Qiao Duo’er and Tan Zhenghong arrived at Deji Hall.
"I am truly sorry, but Young Master Bai is out on a medical visit. The patient’s condition is very critical, and we have no idea when he will be back," the Store Manager said apologetically.
"It doesn’t matter if Young Master Bai isn’t here, I just need you to pass this on to him."
Tan Zhenghong handed over the box, thinking that it was good that Bai Yifan wasn’t there.
The Store Manager did not take the red box but instead brought up another matter, "Old Lady Bai is soon to celebrate her seventieth birthday, and Young Master Bai will surely invite the both of you to Bai Mansion as guests."
The obvious implication was that the gift could be given at that time.
The box contained a White Fox Fur and Six Snow Ears, which would be no problem to present for Old Lady Bai’s grand birthday.
But having brought the gift all the way here, how could one have the heart to take it back?
"Fourth Master, Madam, I haven’t seen you today," the Store Manager said with a smile.
Tan Zhenghong clasped his hands in gratitude, "Then, I must thank the Store Manager for the reminder."
Since the Store Manager had put it that way, he felt embarrassed to refuse. He could take this opportunity to hunt another white fox and bring the fox fur along with him later.
For the elderly, it’s auspicious to have things in pairs; two pieces of fox fur would be ideal.
"You have been buying medicinal herbs from me for so long, I should be the one feeling grateful, not to mention this is just a small favor, it doesn’t warrant a word of thanks," the Store Manager said, grinning even more slyly.
He was more than willing to be the good guy in such harmless interactions.
Moreover, now that Miss Li often came to Deji Hall, if she saw what Mrs. Tan had sent, it was bound to cause another scene.
At this time, at Ruyi Tea House.
"Did you see the person?"
Xuan Qing was lounging with legs crossed, his face wearing his trademark sly smile, a little wicked with a touch of roguishness.
This was the first time he had seen Yin Yinyue since they had shared an intimate moment.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to revisit the past, but Yin Yinyue had rebuffed him, refusing him entry every time.
Yin Yinyue cleared her throat, "Don’t you already know?"
The group of idiots had already gone back; they most certainly had reported everything in detail.
Xuan Qing had specifically come to see how wretched she was. Having known her for years, she couldn’t understand Xuan Qing any better.
Xuan Qing touched his nose, "This time it was my mistake, I didn’t expect them to be that formidable. You weren’t frightened, were you?"
"No, do you have anything else?" Yin Yinyue’s gaze shifted slightly.
Seeing Xuan Qing reminded her uncontrollably of that night’s red-faced, heart-pounding incident.
Over the years, she had done plenty of shady deals, but when it came to matters of the heart, she had always been very conservative.
"Of course, it’s just that the goods you wanted probably can’t be obtained anymore."
Yin Yinyue frowned, "Xuan Ling had already agreed before, why the sudden change of mind?"
"My eldest and second brothers don’t want to offend Qin Longyun, but if you beg me, maybe I will help you," Xuan Qing teased with a raised eyebrow.
He had long held grievances against Qin Longyun and enticing Yin Yinyue was worth the risk for him.
But Yin Yinyue would never stoop to begging, especially not to Xuan Qing.
After a long pause with no reply, Xuan Qing was in no hurry, "Don’t you want revenge? Don’t you hate Qiao Duo? I can help you take her down, I can help you get the formula, just be my woman and I can satisfy all your needs."
"In your dreams!" Yin Yinyue spat out three words before storming out.
Xuan Qing’s lips curved into a smile; he was going to slowly push her into a corner where she’d have no choice but to turn to him.
He didn’t want to do this, but if he didn’t, he would never have her in this lifetime.
At most, he would make it up to her later. 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
