Chapter 38 Making a Wish

Jiang Qi's powerful heartbeat penetrated Yan Qi's ears forcefully.

A numbing current penetrated her skin and enveloped her heart.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Yan Qi looked up in panic, and met Jiang Qi's eyes with a look of surprise that he couldn't take back.

Both of them were stunned.

Jiang Qi helped her stand up, stepped back half a step, and said unnaturally:

"Since you want to buy it, then go back."

As he said that, he was about to go back.

Yan Qi hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull on his sleeve, and slowly let go in his lowered eyes:

“There are so many fish lanterns, so it’s cheaper to buy them from another store.”

Probably because of God's good will, as soon as Yan Qi finished speaking, there was a place selling fish lanterns not far away.

"Look!"

Yan Qi happily ran over and picked out the beautiful and exquisite fish lanterns.

Jiang Qi looked at her profile and his hand gradually touched her heart.

It was empty there.

Yan Qi had already forgotten the incident in the dazzling array of fish lanterns. She picked up a light green fish lantern with a hint of golden color and turned around to ask Jiang Qi:

"Does this look good?"

Under the light of the fish lantern, stars seemed to shine in her eyes.

"……nice."

Jiang Qi coughed slightly and shifted his gaze.

"That's it!" Yan Qi smiled brightly. He felt confident enough with the money and paid easily.

She took Jiang Qi and wandered around the streets. Occasionally she looked up at the sky lanterns rising into the sky, and her smile became even stronger.

"Do you have anything you like? I'll buy it for you."

She was shopping all the way, but she didn't see what Jiang Qi liked.

"No."

Jiang Qi lowered his eyes and glanced at the pile of things in his hand. He had no desire to buy any more. He couldn't carry any more.

"How can that be done! I have to buy new things for the New Year!"

Yan Qi muttered and pointed his chin with his index finger, searching the objects on the street with his eyes, wondering what would be better to buy Jiang Qi.

Suddenly, a crystal-white jade hairpin caught Yan Qi's attention.

She picked up the moire-style hairpin on the stall and held it in her hand to examine it carefully.

Simple design without losing personality, isn't it specially created for Jiang Qi?

"Boss, I want this!"

Yan Qi took the hairpin and drew it on Jiang Qi's head. The more he looked at it, the more beautiful it looked:

"Here, happy New Year."

She took Jiang Qi's hand and put the hairpin into his palm.

Jiang Qi’s gifts have been bought, what should Yue Jue buy?

Yan Qi picked at the stall again, and at least he got a money bag, so he had to give him a gift anyway.

Jiang Qi looked at the hosta in his palm, and then glanced at Yue Huan's busy figure, with a complicated expression.

Yan Qi chose a crystal yellow jade pendant for Yue Jue. There was a lotus carved in the middle of the design, which was noble and holy.

It really suits his temperament.

She suddenly caught a glimpse of Jiang Qi, who was looking at the hosta in a daze, and asked, "Don't you like this hosta?"

"You can change it if you don't like it!"

Jiang Qi, who was stroking the hosta, glanced at her and put the hosta away.

"No."

"Let's go."

After Jiang Qi finished speaking, he walked forward.

"Hey, I haven't paid yet!" the vendor hurriedly called to Jiang Qi who was about to leave, "This little lady has picked so many, how can a husband accept the gift and leave?"

Husband?!

Jiang Qi frowned and stared at Yan Qi coldly. She hasn't paid yet?

Yan Qi was so shaken that he hurriedly explained: "I'll pay for the misunderstanding! I'll pay for it now!"

Don’t dare to recognize your husband randomly!

"How much?"

Yan Qi was a little confused, and Jiang Qi's cold eyes sent shivers down her spine.

"It turns out that the lady is in charge of the money, and she mistakenly blamed the young husband." The vendor was a talkative man. Seeing Yan Qi take out a heavy bag of money, he looked at Jiang Qi apologetically.

Yan Qi:......

My little husband... he's going to die!

"What's your look? What a mess!"

Yan Qi simply didn't dare to look directly into Jiang Qi's eyes and glared at the stall owner, "Whose woman are you looking at combing her hair into a girl's bun?"

"Ouch! Don't be offended, sir, I'm just a little one with stupid eyes." The vendor saw Yan Qi's headdress and then realized, "The appearance of the two of you is really one of a million. The little one was dazzled for a moment, so I apologize to you.

How about you put a zero on it?"

The vendor stretched out a hand and spread his fingers, "There are fifty-one taels of silver in total, so add zeros and fifty-taels!"

You really know how to do business.

Just add a zero...

Does she look like someone who can bargain?

Wait, why was she led astray? Is this a matter of bargaining?

Yan Qi wanted to say something else, so Jiang Qi took the money bag in her hand and took out a one hundred tael silver note and handed it over.

"Let's go." He said in a deep voice, taking Yan Qi's wrist and leaving.

Yan Qi stared blankly at the banknote in the vendor's hand, and then glanced at Jiang Qi, who showed no emotion.

She suspected that Jiang Qi was engaging in a very new type of reverse bargaining.

Someone asked for fifty taels to erase zero, but he directly gave one hundred taels.

Even if you have money, you won’t be such a prodigal!

"Thank you, Lord!"

Even after Yan Qi walked a long way, he could still hear the grateful voices of the vendors.

That’s one hundred taels, what an ordinary family would spend for several years!

Heartache.

The two of them were silent all the way, Jiang Qi lowered his eyes from time to time to look at the sad girl beside him.

Are you still angry about what the vendor just said?

A woman's reputation is indeed very important, and so should she be angry.

Suddenly, the girl's eyes sparkled like stars again.

"etc!"

Yan Qi broke free from Jiang Qi's wrist and ran excitedly to the river.

The river lanterns are shining with sparkling light, densely lighting up the entire lake, more dazzling than the Milky Way.

"Grandma, do you still have river lanterns like this?"

Yan Qi pointed to the beautiful lotus lanterns in the river and asked the old woman on the bank.

"Girl, you're late, the lotus river lanterns are sold out."
