Chapter 181: Women Always Say What They Don’t Mean

The texture of the wooden pendant was very fine and it felt warm and nice being held.

Su Wan loved it so much that she couldn’t put it down. She looked at it repeatedly and her love for the wooden pendant only grew stronger.

Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s eyes lingering on the wooden pendant and knew she had taken a fancy to it.

“Wan Wan, if you like the pendant, just buy it.”

Jiang Xuecheng thought Su Wan would pay for it directly but she held up that pendant and showed Jiang Xuecheng the poem on it.

“My grandfather has been praising you. He says you’re a scholar and understands the studies of Chinese ancient civilization. You should know the origin of this poem, shouldn’t you?”

Jiang Xuecheng raised his brows, not expecting Su Wan to make things difficult for him using this poem. Was she taking revenge on him for ridiculing her for being too heavy and causing the broken bicycle chain?

When Su Wan saw Jiang Xuecheng keeping silent, she thought he didn’t know the answer. So, feeling pleased with herself, she raised her brows and smiled.

“This poem is very famous and you don’t know it. It shows you’re a fake scholar. Let me tell you, the author of this poem is…”

Before Su Wan could provide an answer, Jiang Xuecheng beat her to it.

“The author is Fan Chengda, a poet of Southern Song Dynasty. The source is from ‘Car Far Away.'”

“Wan Wan, not only do I know its source but I’ve also memorized the whole poem. Do you believe me?”

When the clear and melodious voice entered her ears, Su Wan’s eyes widened.

She glanced speechlessly at Jiang Xuecheng. Actually, Su Wan knew the source and the author of this poem because she had a special liking for ancient poetry.

However, she had never seen a single book of ancient poetry on his book shelves!

Jiang Xuecheng smiled elegantly and its radian was exceptionally charming. “Your husband has the ability to remember whatever he has read. Wan Wan, you don’t have to display your slight skill in front of me.”

This narcissist!

Su Wan pouted in frustration. “Alright, you’re the smartest in the world. I admit defeat.”

Even if Jiang Xuecheng could memorize ‘Car Far Away’ in its entirety, Su Wan believed he would not know every poem. She would pick a few ancient poetries which weren’t as famous a few days later to test him.

“Women always say what they don’t mean.”

Totally unconcerned, Jiang Xuecheng looked up. His dark and deep eyes curved up a little and his elegant demeanor was compelling.

No matter from which angle one looked at this man, he was perfect and flawless.

Suddenly, Su Wan’s heart skipped a beat. To cover her obsession, she lowered her head to tidy her hair, pretending to groom herself.

“Alright, all I know is that I like this pendant. Let’s pay!”

Jiang Xuecheng looked at her steadily. His eyes were sparkling and he showed a clear smile. He could see Su Wan was bashful through her red ears but did not expose her.

Those who were familiar with Su Wan could read her like an open book.

“Let’s go.”

Jiang Xucheng put his hands into his pocket and walked toward the cashier quickly.

Su Wan caught up to his pace. She took the wooden pendant carved with the ancient poem carefully and joyfully.

This shop was very small. Before both of them walked to the cashier, the lady shop owner saw Su Wan staring at the pendant.

It looked like she could make a business deal today!

The lady shop owner smiled immediately and started to promote non-stop.

“Ah, so, both of you like pendants. Would you like to buy a few more? We have many other pendants like zodiac pendants, little fish pendants…”

Su Wan didn’t like the lady shop owner’s persistent manner of selling. She pursed her lips and her smile was faint.

“No thank you, just this please. How much is it?”

The middle-aged shop owner examined their dressing once again. She couldn’t see the brand of their clothing but instinctively felt that they both dressed well.

The lady shop owner tried showing her two fingers, “Since you’re the first two customers to visit our shop today, I’ll give you a special price. This pendant is two hundred dollars.”

The moment she finished talking, she grasped her fingers and a sense of uneasiness appeared in her eyes.

She wouldn’t tell them that the wholesale price of the pendant was less than fifteen dollars. Looking at this little couple, she thought they should be ignorant of the market price…

Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan did not speak and the lady shop owner misunderstood that they felt it was too expensive. So, she started to ramble again.

“Please don’t think it’s expensive. This pendant is made of black walnut tree and it’s handmade. If you buy this, it’s absolutely worth your money!”

She paused and then continued, “Look at the words ‘To be united forever’ carved on the pendant. Both of you would definitely grow old together!”

Jiang Xuecheng heard the shop owner chatter away and felt she was irritating. He couldn’t help frowning.

“We’ll take it.”

Upon hearing him, the lady shop owner was surprised. After regaining her senses, her face lit up with happiness. “Sure!”

Just as she excitedly went to look for a gift bag, Su Wan stopped her.

“Aunty, I’m sorry, I think I don’t want this!”

As Su Wan spoke, she looked at Jiang Xuecheng. A sly smile appeared on her face as she said, “Xuecheng, I think this pendant is too expensive. Let’s go to the next shop to take a look.”

Jiang Xuecheng raised his brows as he looked at Su Wan. He was uncertain as to what Su Wan was thinking.

Didn’t she like that pendant just now?

It was only two hundred dollars. To Jiang Xuecheng, even if the amount had a few more zeros behind the two hundred, he didn’t mind.

The lady shop owner heard Su Wan grumble that the pendant was too expensive and panicked. How could she let them go so easily when she finally had customers?

She tugged Su Wan’s sleeves. Besides having urgency, she had a sullen look.

“How could you do this? Just now, Mr. Handsome said he’ll have it. How could you go back on your words now?”

“We have not paid.”

Su Wan frowned as she reminded her. She had always disliked strangers touching her and immediately wished to push her hand away.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman was fierce. She seized Su Wan’s sleeves and didn’t want to let go.

“Nowadays, people don’t practice buying and selling by force, do they?”

The low and deep male voice sounded in the shop. The person who spoke was like a born king. Just a light sentence uttered by him with his powerful tone made one wish to submit to him.

The lady shop owner’s body trembled and she unconsciously loosened her grip on Su Wan’s hand.

This handsome man looked so gentle when he stood beside Su Wan. How could he turn into a terrifying man in the blink of an eye?

The shop owner murmured in her heart for a while and her fierce look was replaced with a warm smile of a business woman.

“Why don’t I give you a fifty percent discount? This is a small business. I really can’t lower the price anymore…”
