Chapter 181 What Does She Like About You?
Zhao Yun'er stopped in front of Qian Jinyun, her delicate face expressionless: "Young Master Qian."
"Hey!"
Qian Jinyun grinned, overjoyed, and could even hear her own heart pounding.
She called me! She called me!
He reached into his chest, wanting to give her the pomegranate hairpin he had bought last time.
“I have Dong…”
"Young Master Qian, if you're not buying anything, please move away from here so as not to interfere with our business."
Zhao Yun'er spoke these words stiffly, without a trace of emotion.
She knew perfectly well that Qian Jinyun had been secretly watching her lately, and she understood what that look meant.
Ga?
Zhao Yun'er's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Qian Jinyun's head, extinguishing her enthusiasm to nothing but smoke, and even causing her to pause in the action of picking up the hairpin.
He instantly wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, his smile turning into a bitter, extremely awkward expression.
"Alright, Miss Zhao. Sorry, we'll leave now, it won't affect your business." As soon as Qian Jinyun finished speaking, she turned and left with her subordinates, her feet feeling as heavy as if they weighed a ton.
"Young master, please don't be discouraged. Miss Zhao hasn't seen your kindness yet."
"Yes, yes, young master, that's not how you pursue a girl. We need to be methodical. Besides, your sneaky approach is indeed a bit... sleazy... no girl would like that."
Upon hearing his subordinate's words, Qian Jinyun immediately turned to the right and asked, "I was peeping at her, is that indecent?"
He then looked at his subordinate on the left and asked, unwilling to give up, "Sleazy?"
The two nodded vigorously, looking at their chubby, round young master, and answered in unison, "Mmm! Perverted."
"You just said that this isn't how you pursue a girl? Do you have any good methods? Tell me about them!"
Qian Jinyun looked at one of her subordinates, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Another subordinate scoffed and undermined him, saying, "Young master, don't listen to his nonsense. He's still a bachelor. He's pursued all the pretty maids in our manor, but none of them have taken a liking to him."
After he finished speaking, the person next to him raised his hand and slapped him on the head, giving him an unpleasant glare, seemingly very dissatisfied with him reopening old wounds.
"Young master, don't listen to his nonsense. It's just that the maids in the manor have no taste."
"Oh? Then tell me, how do you win a girl's heart?"
Qian Jinyun raised her eyebrows slightly, clearly showing interest, and waited for the other party to continue.
When the subordinate saw the young master ask a question, his face immediately lit up with pride. He threw a provocative glance at the other man, his eyes gleaming with undisguised smugness, and then spoke loudly:
"The most important thing in pursuing a girl is to cater to her preferences."
"Putting their preferences into account? What do you mean by that?"
"Find out what she likes, then pick the best one and give it to her."
Qian Jinyun nodded, agreeing with his subordinate's assessment. He frowned; the problem was, he didn't know what Miss Zhao liked.
Another subordinate deliberately dragged out his words, his expression sarcastic and cryptic: "Tch! Why don't you tell the young master how you suffered such a crushing defeat last time?"
"It wasn't exactly a crushing defeat; at least she said she liked me."
"You call that liking?"
"Why doesn't it count?"
"Then tell me, young master, what is it about you that she likes?"
"She—she—she likes me to stay away from her..."
Qian Jinyun's lips twitched as she listened to the two arguing heatedly, their faces flushed.
He must be out of his mind to think these two could actually come up with any good ideas. It seems we need to think of another way.
……
Ye Xiaoxiao bought the pork and prepared to go home.
Unexpectedly, they encountered an unseen person, accompanied by an unfamiliar man in his fifties who looked fierce.
She knew that Li Yuemei had run to the next village overnight, and that her mother had married her off to her paralyzed cousin.
Now, Li Yuemei's face is haggard, her eyes are lifeless, her complexion is ashen, and she seems to have lost a lot of weight. Her dark red, worn-out clothes make her look even more pitiful.
Ye Xiaoxiao subconsciously glanced at Li Yuemei's stomach, only to find that her abdomen was flat and showed no signs of pregnancy.
Logically speaking, she should be showing by now.
Ye Xiaoxiao quickly looked away. What did all this have to do with her?
