170. Cannot Say

Han Tingxuan and Yang Shuo made a happy decision, but they never asked Yue Youbai for his opinion!

Yue Youbai was simply speechless!

There were even more speechless things happened later. Yang Shuo had invited Yue Youbai to give him some advice on picking a birthday gift. But since he saw Han Tingxuan here, he had kept talking with Han Tingxuan as if he had forgotten Yue Youbai.

Han Tingxuan seemed to have left Tian Yusu and Han aside.

As Han Tingxuan and Yang Shuo excluded others outside, Yue Youbai smiled bitterly to Tian Yusu, “Uncle, sorry about Yang Shuo.”

Tian Yusu was really interested in Yue Youbai entirely because of Han Tingxuan.

Han Tingxuan seemed to be very close to Yang Shuo. Yang Shuo, as far as he knew, had something to do with both the Restaurant of Bon Appetite and Bamboo Lane.

Tian Yusu had a good reason to believe that Yang Shuo was one of Han Tingxuan’s powerful hands. And this she-man named “Xue” who came with Yang Shuo must not be easy.

“Haha. He is a young man. I don’t mind him preferring to spend more time with his friend.”

Both of them were “interested in each other,” so they quickly started a conversation.

The conversation got deeper after a happy opening. They thought they had a mutual understanding of each other.

Tian Yusu didn’t believe it when he was told that this “Xue” was a prostitute working at Bamboo Lane. Then, he kind of mentioned something about conspiracy, which made him look more “interested” in the conversation.

Han glanced at the two of them strangely. He knew that Tian Yusu was into he-men. Presumably, he did not like she-men. Right?

But why were they talking so happily?

Han was not unhappy. Han Tingxuan told him that when Tian Yusu really made a decision, he would be completely wholehearted. He had a faith in Tian Yusu.

Therefore, he was only a little curious.

At this time, Yang Shuo seemed to have finally thought of the moonlight. He ran over from Han Tingxuan. “Dear Xue, come over and take a look. I’ve taken a fancy to a piece of jade Ruyi.”

Holding Yue Youbai’s hand, he ran away.

Yue Youbai was really helpless when it came to Yang Shuo. “What is rush?”

Yang Shuo pointed to a piece of scarlet red jade S-shaped ornament which was called Ruyi. Yue Youbai could tell its value. He immediately said, “Blood Ruyi is very precious, much more rare than green Ruyi. Most importantly, this piece of blood Ruyi is definitely superior in terms of color and cutting workmanship. It is a keeper.”

“You think?” Yang Shuo immediately rejoiced, “Dear Xue, isn’t my taste wonderful?”

“Yes, not bad.” Yue Youbai pouted.

“Haha!” Yang Shuo was so happy that he didn’t let go of Yue Youbai’s hand.

Yue Youbai did not object, perhaps he was used to it or he knew he couldn’t get rid of Yang Shuo’s holding.

Yang Shuo was so happy that he almost couldn’t lose it!

Han Tingxuan laughed as well. “Have you decided? This? ”

“Yes. I am going to buy this! “Yang Shuo said directly.

Han Tingxuan nodded. “Good. I didn’t see anything I liked. Let’s go take a look at the calligraphy and drawing.”

“Calligraphy and paintings? Not bad,” Yang Shuo showed off Yue Youbai. “Brother Han, would you like to hear Xue’s advice?”

“I would love to,” Han Tingxuan agreed. “I really don’t know what to buy myself.”

The reason why the store was named Treasure Pavilion was because there were different varieties of treasures inside.

Therefore, there were many antiques and paintings here.

Han Tingxuan, Yang Shuo, and Yue Youbai arrived at the calligraphy area. There were too many of them to pick one.

Han Tingxuan was not interested in Xuantian The Elderly because there was a slight chance that the old man would be interested in him. However, just like what Tian Yusu said, if possible, the old man would not choose a disciple from Nangong family or Dongfang family.

Therefore, Han Tingxuan was not interested in picking gifts. He had come here to meet “Xue”.

Later, Yang Shuo would create opportunities for them to ‘get along alone’. And if “Xue” would do anything against him, it would be a chance for him to act when they were alone.

As expected, a short while later, Yang Shuo said, “Dear Xue, you can stay here with Brother Han. I’ll go and pay for the jade Ruyi now in case that any other might buy it.”

“Okay,” Yue Youbai nodded.

Yang Shuo hurriedly left, and asked the clerk to check the bill.

At this moment, Han Tingxuan said, “Xue, there are too many paintings here to choose. Which one do you recommend?”

Yue Youbai gave it a nice thought. A moment later, she pointed at one painting and asked, “How about this landscape painting?”

Han Tingxuan walked over. “Is there anything particular about this?”

“I hear that Xuantian The Elderly is 90 years old. He has seen many good things before. Usually seniors prefer scenery painting. The artist of this landscape painting is famous, and it is a great painting. This is just my advice.”

“Haha, once you explain it, this painting is really good. I started to grow fond of it. Great! I will buy it!” Han Tingxuan made a quick decision. But Yue Youbai was startled.

“Big Brother, perhaps there is a better one.”

“This one is great!” Han Tingxuan said.

Then, Han Tingxuan added, “Xue is really amazing. You are great at appreciating calligraphy and drawing so well, and also jade ornaments. You are amazing! Yang Shuo is a lucky man!”

Yue Youbai looked down “shyly” and “harmlessly”. “Brother Han, I am so flattered.”

“Haha! You deserve it!” Han Tingxuan praised.

The two of them chatted for a while. Yue Youbai put on an innocent and harmless image. Han Tingxuan was impressed how patient he was.

Fortunately, Yang Shuo was back at this time.

Han Tingxuan smiled. “What took so long? I already chose my gift.”

Yang Shuo smiled mysteriously. “I picked something for Xue. It took a while.”

Han Tingxuan blinked. “Really? What is it?”

Yang Shuo said, “Brother Han, it is a gift for Xue. How can you be the first one to look at it?”

Han Tingxuan glared at him speechlessly. “Yang Shuo! Come on. Show me!”

“No,” Yang Shuo snorted but still refused.

At this time, Tian Yusu also walked over.

“Uncle, I have chosen my gift,” said Han Tingxuan.

“Hmm? Really? What did you pick?” Tian Yusu was curious.

Han Tingxuan pointed at the painting in front of him. “What do you think?”

Tian Yusu watched it for a moment and nodded. “Not bad.”

“Haha, Xue has a good taste. Even uncle likes it.”

“Xue chose it?” Yang Shuo was happy and said, “Great! Dear Xue, go, maybe Uncle can use your help to choose a gift.”

Han Tingxuan added, “Yeah, help uncle. It seems that he is having a difficult in choosing one.”

Tian Yusu, “…”

Yue Youbai said, “But-but, what if I choose a bad one?”

“Don’t worry,” Tian Yusu smiled at this time. “You have good taste. Let’s go. We’ll go over there to take a look.”

Yue Youbai had a look at Yang Shuo who immediately said, “Just go.”

Then, Yue Youbai went with Tian Yusu. When Yue Youbai was not far away, still could hear them, Yan Shuo said to Han Tingxuan, “Bro, what do you think? He is a great keeper, right?”

Han Tingxuan chuckled. “You lucky dog!”

Yang Shuo disagreed. “Language! Bro! You are mean!”

Han Tingxuan ignored him and went to pay the bill.

Yang Shuo followed him.

“He didn’t say anything, nor did he pry into anything,” said Han Tingxuan softly.

Although Yang Shuo was smiling on the face, there was surprise in his eyes. “Hmm? He is that patient?”

“Perhaps not. You’ve already told him that you’ll bring him along. Perhaps he plans to make action by then.”

“It is possible.”

The two of them didn’t say anything else and went to pay the bill.

Tian Yusu picked the gift faster. When Han Tingxuan finished paying the bill, Tian Yusu had finished picking a gift.

It was a piece of calligraphy.

At this time, Han came over with the gift he bought. Tian Yusu did not feel very well when he looked at the jade pendant.

At this moment, Han Tingxuan and others said goodbye to Yang Shuo.

When they returned, Han Tingxuan asked Han, “Han, whom are you going to send the gift?”

Han blinked and said, “Sorry I can’t say it.”

Tian Yusu, “…”

Han Tingxuan: “…”

That was not an answer they expected.

Han Tingxuan looked at Tian Yusu. Tian Yusu looked gloomy.
