Chapter 700: Yes, Yes, Yes!
However, Leng Jinpeng did not dare to say it out loud in spite of his suspicion.
Although he felt that there was a 0.01% chance of getting a piece of raw stone that contained jade, he thought he should get it cut for the time being since it was given to him by Nuannuan and chosen by the old marshal. What if he actually obtained something even though the chances were slim?
“Nuannuan, are you really going to auction the raw stones three days later? These raw stones are of average quality. Will the auction accept them?”
Zhong Nuannuan had been so distracted that she had forgotten to argue with her Big Brother Chi Yang. However, even if she did, she could not bear to be angry with him. After all, Big Brother Chi Yang was so excellent…
“Uncle Leng, I’ll be auctioning jade, not raw stones. What reason do they have to refuse?”
“You’re that sure that there is jade inside?” Leng Jinpeng still did not believe her.
“Uncle Leng, have you heard of the Phoenix Pavilion?”
“Of course! That’s the world’s biggest jeweler. If this family were to claim second place, no one would dare claim first place,” Leng Jinpeng replied.
After all, this was common knowledge. Even though he was a soldier, he was also a young master from a second-tier wealthy family, so he was naturally well-versed in these.
Suddenly, Leng Jinpeng remembered that Phoenix Pavilion only appeared five or six years ago in a blast. Thinking of Tianheng Holdings, his eyes widened.
At the same time, Chi Yang and the old master’s eyes started to widen too.
“Phoenix Pavilion is yours too?” Chi Yang asked.
Zhong Nuannuan blinked and nodded. Then, she turned to Leng Jinpeng and said, “I got these from betting on stones, mountains, and riverbeds.”
Leng Jinpeng, “…!!!”
“If Uncle Leng doesn’t like that stone, then give it back to me. When I’m free, I’ll go to the antique street in Emperor District and I’ll pick one for you.”
“Yes, yes, yes! I want it!”
Leng Jinpeng hurriedly wrapped the raw stone in his arms. He was still fearful that Zhong Nuannuan would take it back and felt that it was not safe enough. Therefore, he simply kept it in his car boot.
Chi Yang looked at Leng Jinpeng’s demeanor. Although Chi Yang despised the way Leng Jinpeng acted, Chi Yang was touched.
That was because whether Nuannuan gave Chi Yang’s grandfather the imperial jade or Leng Jinpeng the raw stone, they were proof that his Nuannuan loved him.
At this thought, looking at the slightly upturned corners of Nuannuan’s lips, Chi Yang could not help himself but bend down and planted a kiss on her collagen-filled cheek.
Nuannuan was confused by the kiss that came from nowhere. She questioned him with her eyes, asking why he suddenly kissed her, but Chi Yang whispered into her ear, “You won’t allow me to say thank you. In the future, I will replace all my thank-yous with kisses.”
Nuannuan, “…”
Brilliant!
She loved being kissed!
“Uncle Leng, do you want more? I can give you another one.”
Leng Jinpeng, ‘…?! What the h.e.l.l?’
Chi Yang, ‘… Is it really okay for my wife to squander so much for a kiss?’
Looking at Leng Jinpeng, Chi Yang revealed a rare smile. Leng Jinpeng, who was about to say something, was stunned and quickly shook his head. “No, no. If there’s no jade inside this one, you can accompany Uncle Leng to pick another one soon. Then, you can teach me the ways to pick raw stones.”
“If you reveal the secrets to your disciple, the master will starve to death. If there’s nothing in the raw stone, Nuannuan can give you another one.”
His wife was his precious, and he was not going to share his precious with anyone else that easily.
The old master chuckled as he watched the interactions between these ‘youngsters’. He also took the time to send a message to Emperor District, removing Nuannuan’s status of having a mysterious ident.i.ty.
