Chapter 114 Take it or leave it!
Su Mowan felt that Shangguan Qingqi's behavior was tantamount to openly provoking Murong Jing.
Even if she and Murong Jing didn't have any real feelings for each other, they were still husband and wife in name only. This man didn't even have the slightest sense of avoiding suspicion!
Su Mowan approached and gave the 'male vixen' in front of her a cool glance.
"What brings Young Master Shangguan here?"
Shangguan Qingqi smiled smugly: "Didn't I say that I came to apologize to you?"
"If you really want to express your apology, then show some sincerity."
Although Su Mowan didn't know why Shangguan Qingqi had gone crazy so early in the morning, getting him away was the top priority right now.
Shangguan Qingqi completely ignored Feng Yue's guarded expression and stared intently at Su Mowan with his peach blossom eyes.
"This young master is full of sincerity."
Despite being stared at so blatantly and with such 'affection,' Su Mowan remained completely unmoved.
"Sincerity is good. I'll count to three, then disappear from my sight."
"..."
Shangguan Qingqi cleared his throat and suggested, "Could we find another way to show our sincerity?"
"No."
Su Mowan raised an eyebrow. "I only like this one way."
Shangguan Qingqi narrowed his peach blossom eyes. This guy was simply impervious to reason and defense!
Fortunately, he had a backup plan!
Shangguan Qingqi snorted, raised his chin, and pointed into the distance.
"I've prepared this method specifically for you, what do you think?"
Su Mowan followed his gaze and saw a large pile of high-quality timber not far away, clearly a rare find.
Feng Yue's heart tightened even more for his master. Shangguan Qingqi was too despicable, taking advantage of his master's inability to please others!
Seeing Su Mowan squinting and remaining silent, Shangguan Qingqi raised his eyebrows smugly, his smile radiant.
He boasted, "How was it? Did you like this method better than the previous one?"
It has to be said that Su Mowan was indeed tempted.
Of course, it wasn't the person who attracted me, but rather the pile of fine timber.
Shangguan Qingqi's manner clearly indicated that he was giving it to her for free. As the saying goes, "If it's free, why not take it?"
However, seeing Shangguan Qingqi's confident smile, she had a bad feeling that she was completely outmatched.
Unfortunately, she doesn't actually have that much money on hand right now!
Feng Yue coughed lightly, seemingly unintentionally, at the opportune moment.
He sensed something was wrong; Consort Su's heart had already begun to waver, seduced by that cunning Shangguan Qingqi!
His master was completely unaware of this, and to make matters worse, he had a fight with Consort Su last night! Doesn't this just make Shangguan the Fox seem even more understanding?
Su Mowan also knew that Feng Yue would definitely have to report this to Murong Jing when he got back, and besides, one is bound to be indebted to others for their generosity.
If she accepts this, this clingy person will become even more persistent and harder to get rid of.
Su Mowan hesitated for a moment, then said with a hint of regret, "As the saying goes, one should not accept a reward without merit. I appreciate Young Master Shangguan's kindness."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Consort Su was able to endure loneliness and resist temptation!
But Shangguan Qingqi was unhappy.
The answer was completely unexpected; the plot did not fit his script at all.
"You wouldn't even take it if I gave it to you for free?"
Su Mowan coughed: "Young Master Shangguan, I don't want it, but I can consider these timbers."
Shangguan Qingqi glanced sideways: "What's there to consider? This young master doesn't want a single penny from you!"
"It's precisely because Young Master Shangguan doesn't want money that we need to consider it. Young Master Shangguan and I aren't close enough to not need to talk about money."
"That's perfect. Let's not talk about money, let's talk about feelings."
"..."
Feng Yue frowned more and more as he listened. The fox was indeed glib-tongued; his master was no match for him at all!
Su Mowan remained unmoved by such blatant flirting, but was quite surprised at how Shangguan Qingqi had managed to cultivate such an oblivious demeanor.
However, it is clear that one of Shangguan Qingqi's most prominent characteristics is that he has a thick skin.
Fortunately, she wasn't the kind of girl who couldn't resist being teased.
Su Mowan pursed her lips and struggled for a moment before finally saying, "I still prefer the first method. Young Master Shangguan, please take the things with you."
Feng Yue's face remained expressionless, but he was finally relieved for his master.
Shangguan Qingqi couldn't understand. He had gone to great lengths to acquire these high-quality timbers, so why wasn't Su Mowan taking advantage of such a great deal?
Young Master Shangguan had never experienced being rejected after relentlessly pursuing someone, so he immediately frowned.
"You have to take it whether you want it or not! The timber has already been purchased, how could I possibly return it!"
"There's no need to return it. Young Master Shangguan can resell it to me. Otherwise, it'll be a hassle for Young Master Shangguan to move it back and forth."
Su Mowan looked at Shangguan Qingqi with a smile.
This means she can accept the money, but the accounts must be clearly stated.
To everyone's surprise, Shangguan Qingqi frowned and sneered upon hearing this: "Do you think I'm short of a little money? Anyway, I've left it here, take it or leave it!"
After saying that, he turned and left before Su Mowan could react.
Su Mowan looked at the devilish figure's back and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had only ever heard of forced buying and selling, but never of forcibly giving someone something away.
Okay, Su Mowan remembered the hairpin that Tang Minzhi had given her.
Su Mowan shook her head and said to Feng Yue, who had a complicated expression, "Since he gave it to us for free, let's accept it. We can give him the silver notes later when we have the chance."
What could Feng Yue say? He could only direct people to move that huge pile of timber to the construction site.
Su Mowan casually strolled around a couple of times, glanced at the surroundings, chatted with the person in charge, and finally left satisfied.
Of course, they didn't go back to the Prince's Mansion; they went directly to the jewelry shop.
Manager Qin resigned from Moxiangju a few days ago and came to work at the jewelry shop. Su Mowan hasn't gone to see it for herself yet.
It wasn't that I was afraid of any mishaps, but I simply wanted to see if Manager Qin was comfortable with the situation and check on the business.
Who knew that when Su Mowan stepped into the jewelry shop, she couldn't help but exclaim, "This world is really too small!"
Liu Ruxu, who was selecting hairpins, heard footsteps, looked up curiously, and her face turned ugly after glancing at them.
"why is it you again!"
This time, Su Mowan didn't bring Yinshuang or Qinghe with her, so Liu Ruxu became bolder.
She raised an eyebrow and glanced at Su Mowan from head to toe, then snorted.
"I thought being a concubine in the Prince of Qin's mansion would be so glamorous, but in the end, I don't even have a single person to serve me. Surely the Prince of Qin's mansion isn't that shabby?"
Su Mowan walked straight to the counter without giving her another glance.
Unfortunately, Liu Ruxu was not going to stop. She put the hairpin she was looking at on the display case and chuckled sarcastically.
"Why isn't my cousin saying anything? Wasn't she quite arrogant when she saw me last time?"
