CH 4.1

It’s indeed comfortable dealing with smart people.

Omitting the ‘Ah what are you talking about I don’t understand I don’t know what you mean I am not have you recognize the wrong person…’ all those kinds of words that deceive oneself, which is just a pure waste of time and meaningless struggle.

The corners of Ji Yunxi’s lips raised slightly, with some meaning in it: “Young Master’s graceful bearing, how dare I forget it?”

“Third miss’ words are too flattering. This humble one is just an incompetent person. Where’s the graceful bearing from?” Wu Wei’an smiled modestly, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, paused for a while and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Then he took another sip, and another sip again.

This time it is the excellent Cuijian Tea with silvery leaf, which is a tribute from the south.

The Emperor gave some of it to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince left some for himself, and also gave some to his mother Li Shi[1], and his good friend, the Ji family.

Ji Yunxi came to be a guest today and when Li Shi heard that she wanted to make tea, she specially took this tea out to entertain her.

One can’t even find this kind of good thing with high prices but small demand outside.

Ji Yunxi watched quietly. She is too lazy to be polite, and came straight to the point: “Did you take the agate and one thousand taels of silver banknotes?”

Wu Wei’an put down the empty tea cup: “How did Third Miss recognize me?”

Ji Yunxi looks at him with her graceful and gorgeous face that has no expression at all on it, but she didn’t answer him.

Wu Wei’an did not look back at Ji Yunxi’s gaze.

He reached for the purple clay pot, stretched over the table with one hand and gently held his sleeve with the other hand. He first added some tea to the tea cup that Ji Yunxi had only sipped, and then he added new tea to himself.

His actions are like flowing water, and his attitude is somewhat modest.

Of course, he didn’t say anything either.

A silent contest.

But both of them knew that it was Ji Yunxi who exposed her needs first.

Ji Yunxi stretched out her hand and gently rubbed the tea cup with her finger.

The tea cup is made of the finest Hetian jade[2]. It is delicate and just like the skin of a girl.

The temperature of the tea inside is just right, which feels warm to the touch.

All right.

Ji Yunxi lifted her chin slightly: “The scar of the waning moon.”

Wu Wei’an was taken aback and looked down at the scar between his right index finger and little finger.

In fact, the trace of the scar is not big, only a small one, and it also has faded a lot with the passage of years.

He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and there are so many scars all over his body that he even forgot how this waning moon was left there.

Wu Wei’an nodded: “I took it.”

Ji Yunxi hummed, held the tea cup and took a light sip: “Does Young Master have a marriage partner?”

Wu Wei’an was slightly surprised, but seems not surprised at all either and only chuckled lightly: “Not yet.”

Ji Yunxi put down the tea cup, and looked straight at him with a pair of bright and clear eyes, without any shyness at all in it: “Oh. Then, what do you think of me?”

Wu Wei’an withdrew his smile and looked at her: “I am afraid I am not worthy of Third Miss.”

Ji Yunxi very straightly said: “You are worthy.”

Wu Wei’an gently tapped the tea table: “I am not worthy. Thank you Miss, for your favor.”

Refused twice. It seems that this business is really not easy to do.

Ji Yunxi lowered her eyes and threw the bait: “The Ji family can help you.”
