Chapter 1592: Chapter 1572: Bai Yinshu’s Invitation
"Done with the discussion?" Luo Qianqian asked as she watched He Wenyu come back in high spirits, raising her eyebrows while holding a cup of bubble tea that’s supposedly traveled three times around the earth. She sat leisurely on a deck chair, looking completely relaxed, a stark contrast to the busy people in the courtyard.
"I really admire Second Uncle now." He Wenyu sat wearily on the chair next to Luo Qianqian’s, collapsing immediately, not in the mood to say a word.
Luo Qianqian looked curious, "What’s up? Feeling mentally exhausted?"
"You’re the one with mental exhaustion." He Wenyu casually took off her shoes, then sat up and grabbed the bubble tea from Luo Qianqian, taking a few big gulps before handing the empty cup back to her. She lay back down, contentedly rubbing her stomach, "I just feel like there’s so much to worry about in business. From site selection and renovations to supply channels, and down to each penny spent..."
"Uh... finding it tiring?" Luo Qianqian laughed, closing the cultivation notes she had retrieved from the Xuanming Ring, naturally making a grasping motion with her fingers in the air, "Want a massage?"
"Forget it, I’m afraid you’ll break my bones." He Wenyu quickly shook her head, squinting slightly, "But seriously, people have such lavish dowries these days... Those shops left me dumbfounded."
"What? Eager to get married? I’ll prepare something even more lavish for you, will you marry then?" Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, "And now the dowry includes things like engagement gifts and dowry from the South, which are all personal assets of the bride. Wait, dowry? Weren’t you out with Cong Ying?" Cong Ying was unmarried, she remembered that clearly. After all, not everyone has friends who have been divorced multiple times for comparison.
"Yes, but she took me to her own shops, which will be part of her dowry in the future." He Wenyu nodded solemnly, looking completely innocent, "Seeing it makes me wish I weren’t a woman."
"Plotting for someone’s dowry, can’t you set your sights higher?" Luo Qianqian immediately had a head full of black lines but was quite interested in He Wenyu’s response, "Do you have a target now? Otherwise, why are you thinking about dowries?"
"Don’t joke around..." He Wenyu rolled her eyes.
"I’m not joking. Don’t worry, your dowry will be prepared by godfather and godmother when you marry. I’ll prepare some for you too, and the rest will be left to the Nine Heavens Pavilion to arrange a grand wedding parade." Luo Qianqian giggled at He Wenyu, as not everyone can marry multiple times. Many people marry only once in their lives, how can it end with possible regrets? Moreover, in past marriages, people were brought into the family, but if He Wenyu were to marry, she’d be going out, and a strong family background is a must.
"Can you just go away?" He Wenyu lay weakly, quietly gazing at the sky, "There’s not even the first stroke of the character ’龘’ in my situation, what do I have?"
Saying so, she covered her eyes with her hand, filled with helplessness, "I still have a long way to go before I can support you. Your dream of being a freeloader is not easy to achieve."
"Take it slow, don’t rush, I’ll eventually become a freeloader." Luo Qianqian chuckled yet didn’t say much, merely taking out a summer quilt to cover He Wenyu, "Rest well, don’t think about it too much."
He Wenyu pouted without opening her eyes, just nodding her head, "Remember to wake me up for dinner later."
Watching He Wenyu quickly fall asleep, Luo Qianqian paused for a moment and then laughed, shaking her head helplessly.
Doing something she’s not skilled at must be somewhat uncomfortable, right?
"Leave it beside her." Bai Yinshu handed Luo Qianqian a small incense burner, a fresh scent wafting out from it. Luo Qianqian naturally accepted it, placing it on her chair before calmly standing up.
"Are you done with your work?" For the sake of making incense, he had also settled in the courtyard, and Mo had no reason to drive him away.
After all, Bai Yinshu was the expert in this field, no matter how much of a genius she was, she couldn’t do better than Bai Yinshu in something she wasn’t skilled at.
So Mo tolerated Bai Yinshu’s continued presence in the courtyard.
Waiting only to kick him out once he’d finished his work.
Bai Yinshu naturally curved his lips, revealing dimples, slightly tilting his head. Lately, he seemed to enjoy smiling at Luo Qianqian this way.
"It’s not very busy, by the way, here’s something for you guys. Light it up at night for better sleep." Bai Yinshu naturally took a small box made of redwood, appearing quite valuable.
Luo Qianqian accepted it casually, taking a sniff before smiling and nodding, "Then, thank you."
Because He Wenyu seemed quite exhausted recently, giving her a comfortable rest environment was indeed necessary.
Good sleep ensures the best state to face everything with vigorous energy.
"You’re welcome." Bai Yinshu gave a slight smile, his arms crossed as he looked at Luo Qianqian, his lips curving into a seductive arc, showing some alluring potential, "But, I have a small request." Saying that he awkwardly touched his nose, slightly lowering his head, his peach blossom eyes looking at Luo Qianqian apprehensively.
"What is it? Tell me if I can do it." Luo Qianqian was stunned for a moment before breaking into a smile.
Such a childlike demeanor made her reluctant to refuse, it felt like An Hao’s vibe.
"Accompany me to collect flower dew tomorrow morning, as my reward for the hard work. Of course, you’ll have to bring the food." Bai Yinshu’s dimples lacked wine, but Luo Qianqian indeed felt dazed for a moment, inwardly cursing the charmer, yet helplessly.
After all, the guy really had some charming potential.
She couldn’t help but nod, "No problem, just make sure to wake me up, or I won’t know when to get up."
She wouldn’t refuse something within her capability.
Mo glared at Bai Yinshu in the room, making grinding sounds with his teeth.
Cripes, he’s in for work, and what’s the result? Flirting? Flirting with a girl who’s beyond his reach?
It’s simply intolerable, absolutely unbearable!
Clenching his fists, he walked out of the room without further ado, looking at the two, "Where are you going? Count me in?"
Bai Yinshu looked at Mo with a rare expression, "Senior brother still has such leisure interests? Then, let’s go together."
Mo hadn’t expected Bai Yinshu to agree to his request so easily. For a moment, he stared wide-eyed, not knowing what to say.
Bai Yinshu squinted his eyes, "Then I’ll call you both tomorrow morning." With that, he leisurely returned to his room, continuing to fiddle with his aromas.
