Chapter 157: Acting

Translator: Lonelytree

Mo Li looked around with curiosity as if not expecting such a place to exist in Pearl River. By then Quan Yu had changed into a new set of outfit. He was in a very sharp suit. It made him look very dashing but Mo Li’s eyes were instantly drawn to his cuff link. “This is where the canary diamond cuff link is sold?”

Quan Yu nodded and led Mo Li upstairs. Once they entered the premise, they saw an old man in a well-tailored suit. Despite his head of white hair, the elder looked very smart. Seeing Quan Yu and Mo Li walk into the shop, the old man smiled genially.

“This lady looks quite familiar. She is as bright as a jewel herself.” The old man had already started the sales pitch. Mo Li took that as the old man’s effort to make sales but as she looked around, she was greeted by the full set of the FM jewelry she endorsed. Mo Li was startled for a moment but she soon understood what kind of location this was.

“Sir, what present are you planning to gift our young lady this time? She only deserves the best.” The old man turned to Quan Yu. The old man had the nose of a bloodhound but the blood in this case was money.

Mo Li and Quan Yu shared a look and they formed a plan immediately. Quan Yu smiled but Mo Li’s eyes widened as she stared daggers at the old man. She demanded, “This time? That means he has been here last time! Who was he with? What did he buy?”

“Erm… No miss, I was mistaken…” The old man stumbled. He smiled awkwardly, and looked at Quan Yu apologetically. “This old brain of mine… must have mistaken the faces.”

“That’s not true! You have to be honest with me! Who did he bring with him last time?” Then Mo Li glared at Quan Yu as if she was really incensed.

The old man laughed awkwardly. That is a slip of the tongue that I’ll have to pay dearly for. Why did I say those things earlier?

Quan Yu coughed and pulled on Mo Li’s dress. He said in a calming tone, “My dear, it’s fine, they are all in the past.” Then as if to change the subject, Quan Yu turned to the old man, “Is there any new stock? Show them to me!”

“Okay, no problem!” The old man nodded hurriedly. “We just have some new arrivals!” Then he scurried to the room at the back.

Mo Li whispered, “Do you think he saw your cuff link?”

“I don’t think so…” Quan Yu sighed helplessly. They had put on such a good show but the old man didn’t even focus on the important stuff.

“Is it possible that he has indeed seen the cuff link… and is now running away?” Mo Li suggested and Quan Yu shook his head. This old man definitely had someone shielding his operation because based on his investigation, this place had been around for decades already.

“I’m back.” The old man returned with a tray with boxes of many sizes. “Please pick anything you fancy. We have the best gold and diamond. They are shipped from all over the world. They’re such a rave among the socialites these days.”

Mo Li stood up as if with the intention to pick something. The gems were exquisite. There were golden bracelets, carved bangles and so on. For diamonds, there were rose diamonds, colored diamonds and so on. The selection was large… They were expensive jewels but none of them could compare to the canary diamond.

Mo Li and Quan Yu shared another look. Quan Yu used the opportunity to pull on Mo Li’s hand. After all, they were supposed to be a couple.

Mo Li’s hand was soft and silky.

Mo Li’s heart quivered from the sudden touch. Even though she quickly slipped her hand back, Quan Yu’s touch had left a tingly impression on her hand.

“I don’t like any of these. They are so old-fashioned!”
