Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times Chapter 24.3
Accepting Gold Coins (3)
There was a coin lying in the center of each of the two dozen flower stamens. There were gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins. Of course, the number of gold coins was the least—only one—followed by silver coins, and copper coins were the most abundant.
Anna didn't dare to accept the gold coin given to her by the demon, but the one in front of her was given to her by Parrish.
"Young Master Parrish, this is..." Anna showed a perfectly surprised expression, her eyes deliberately showing awe.
Her surprise was real, but the deliberateness was also real.
Parrish revealed a subtle expression when he saw Anna stepping past him to set the food box down, but seeing her later reaction, he smiled clearly and said affectionately, "These coins are just decorations for beautiful flowers. Of course they have to be given to you together. "
He was very experienced in pursuing women. He knew very well that for ordinary women, the sweet words of nobility were very useful, but gold coins were even more useful. He was well versed in the likes of women.
So Anna's reaction did not exceed his expectations. He glanced at Rothgarr, saw the ridicule on his face, and couldn't help but secretly smile. Ulysses was a mage. He spent money like water, and was also a nobleman. He must’ve thought that Anna, a commoner, would hate for someone to use gold coins to express his love for her, which was really incomprehensible.
Rothgarr certainly noticed the coins Parrish put in the flowers. Except for one gold coin, copper coins and silver coins accounted for the majority.
What he remembered was that he had thrown a bag of gold coins at Anna before, and she didn’t even want them.
She was very ambitious. Ifshe didn’t want the bag of gold coins then, how could it be possible that this small amount of money could disrupt her plan?
Therefore, he sneered when Parrish looked over provocatively. He was waiting for Anna to refuse; the look on Parrish's face then should be very funny.
Then, he saw Anna joyfully accepting the bouquet of flowers with a cheerful voice, "Thank you so much, I really like this bouquet of flowers and their decorations!"
Rothgarr looked at Anna suddenly; what he felt could not be put into words.
She didn't want dozens of gold coins, but actually accepted this little bit of money?
In fact, at this moment, the other two parties were quietly observing Rothgarr's reaction.
Parrish saw the incredulous appearance of the young talented mage, and laughed in his heart. The smile on his face became brighter. "It is their honor and my honor that you can accept this."
As for Anna, she saw the puzzled look of the demon, and then looked at Parrish's happy appearance, and accepted the bouquet with peace of mind.
Yes, she wanted to make the demon think that she was not interested in the Holy Son who served the goddess for life, but was instead interested in the more practical Parrish. If the demon repossessed Parrish, she would welcome it.
As for Parrish, she accepted his gift to help him win the competition between him and Ulysses. These coins were her reward. Everyone benefited from each other and no one lost.
Anna stood aside holding the bouquet happily, and Parrish ate in the same mood.
Only Rothgarr gloomily glanced over the two people who had smiles on their faces.
Seeing Anna holding flowers and occasionally smelling it, Rothgarr suddenly remembered a word that Balan had said in the past.
Balan said that women love romance. You could give her exquisite clothes and expensive jewelry, but couldn’t give her gold coins directly.
Regarding the difference between the gold coins he gave Anna at that time and the gold coins Parrish gave Anna today, it was that Parrish gave an extra bouquet of flowers.
Gifting flowers was romantic?
Before today, Rothgarr had never thought about the things that would make a woman happy. Anna's reaction seemed to prove that Balan's words were correct, but after dealing with Anna for so long, he felt that she would not be so superficial, and her ambition would not allow her to indulge in this degree of romance.
However, the scene in front of him really proved that his understanding of Anna was wrong.
She really laughed so happily for a bunch of flowers.
Rothgarr was still a little confused when Parrish finished breakfast happily and Anna left with the food box in one hand and the bouquet in the other.
Parrish smiled and said, "Ulysses, don't blame me. Everyone likes beautiful girls. I’m just following my own heart. Of course, I will not stop you from pursuing Anna. Anna is a beautiful girl with a rich heart. She has the right to freely choose who’s love to accept."
Although it was Rothgarr who pulled back Parrish's interest in Anna at first, Rothgarr was quite unhappy about it now.
He glanced at Parrish coldly, got up and left.
Parrish smiled brightly behind him and waved. "Ulysses, bye~."
After Anna left the small building where Parrish lived, she immediately sped up, and at the same time quickly took out all the coins hidden in the stamens.
There were a total of one gold coin, five silver coins, and seventeen copper coins.
