Guan Lei’s slender fingers slightly bent as he interlocked his fingers with Shen Xi’s. He kissed Chen Xi’s bracelet and said, “Alright, I’ve imprinted my exclusive mark on you. You’re mine from now on. We belong to each other.”
Shen Xi’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. “You said it. You can’t go back to your words. If you dare to abandon me in the future, I won’t see you again. ”
Guan Lei held Shen Xi in his arms, but his expression was slightly bitter. He always thought his happiness had been stolen from someone else, and his heart was filled with unease. It was not only because he deliberately obstructed the meeting between Shen Xi and Meng Yu but also because he kept Shen Xi in the Gu family for his grandfather’s reputation.
“By the way, let’s go to the market together later. I think my parents should be here by dinnertime. Let’s have a hot pot together tonight. It’s more convenient this way. We don’t know how to cook anything. We can eat it after it’s heated. It saves trouble.” Shen Xi said as she played with Guan Lei’s fingers.
Guan Lei was slightly stunned. He wondered if Shen Yan would kill him if he saw him at Shen Xi’s house. However, Guan Lei was willing to give it his all for his wife. At most, he would be scolded.
“Alright.” Guan Lei said in a clear voice, with a tragic feeling of a hero breaking his wrist.
In amusement, Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei and laughed, “Why do you look so serious as if you’re going to the battlefield? It’s not like you haven’t seen my parents before.”
Guan Lei sighed slightly. If there were something in his heart, he would naturally be afraid.
By the time they arrived at the market, it was already an hour later.
Guan Lei, who had never been to a market before, looked at the bustling scene in front of him, as well as Shen Xi, who was haggling with the peddler beside him, and a sense of satisfaction filled his chest.
Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei’s dumbfounded look and directly slapped him. “What are you doing? Help my bargain.”
After saying that, Shen Xi said bashfully, “I’m not good at bargaining…”
Guan Lei rubbed his head and smiled foolishly. Then, his expression slightly paused as he said in a low voice, “I don’t know either, but I saw people on the Internet say that you have to cut the price by half.”
Shen Xi nodded and said, “Yes, that’s what I saw on the Internet.”
Hence, the two of them looked at each other with healthy eyes. Then, they fixed their gazes on a stall beside them and squatted down together.
“Boss, how much is this lobster?” Shen Xi pointed at the lobsters in a basin and asked.
“2000 RMB per catty, how many do you want?” The boss’s eyes lit up. He quickly put down the work in his hands and said enthusiastically.
Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei, who immediately coughed and frowned. “It’s too expensive. Are you selling it for 1000 yuan per catty?” Guan Lei pretended to be calm as he asked, but he was not confident.
As expected, when the boss heard Guan Lei’s haggling, his initially enthusiastic expression changed. He said with a troubled face, “2000 is the market price. If you cut it in half, I’ll lose money. How about 1900?”
Shen Xi’s eyes lit up. The boss quickly lowered the price, so there must be a lot of profit margin. Hence, she said firmly, “Just 1000 yuan, boss. This price is the most suitable.”
The boss still had a troubled look on his face. He forced a smile and said, “This is a small business. How about we each take a step back? 1700.”
“1100, can you do it? If not, we don’t want it.” Shen Xi looked at the boss with an expression as if this was the final bid.
“This price is not good. I’ve lost a lot of money. huh, I really can’t sell it.” The boss said with a bitter face.
Guan Lei glanced at Shen Xi. Shen Xi raised her eyebrows. Guan Lei understood and pulled Shen Xi away. He said, “Then forget it. Let’s go to the front and take a look.”
“Yeah, it’s so expensive. Forget it.” Shen Xi also replied.
The two stood up, turned around, and walked away without hesitation. Then, as they whispered “5-4-3.2.1”, the boss’s voice sounded behind them.
“Hey, come here. Here you go. It’s already noon. Just take it as clearing the goods.”
Shen Xi and Guan Lei looked at each other. Both saw the sense of accomplishment and victory in each other’s eyes.
The two paid the money readily and continued walking down happily..
