Chapter 415: 415 Just come by yourself
Sikong Mo looked at the silent Ye Jiu and decisively placed the land deed in her hand, “Take it, it just so happens you want to buy a house, and I’m planning to sell. This saves me a trip to the Dentist Office.”
Ye Jiu thought to herself that it must be a joke. He, a Prince, would naturally have people to do such things on his behalf if he truly intended to sell a house, instead of going to the Dentist Office himself.
However, considering the size and location of the house, Ye Jiu was tempted.
“Then… I won’t stand on ceremony with Young Master Sikong,” Ye Jiu happily accepted the land deed and asked, “May I know how much Silver Young Master Sikong plans to sell the house for?”
“Priceless,” Sikong Mo said with a thin smile.
Ye Jiu stiffened and looked up at him in disbelief.
Was he making fun of her?
Just as Ye Jiu was about to angrily return the land deed, Sikong Mo suddenly spoke again, “How about… we trade it for you?”
The seriousness in Sikong Mo’s eyes didn’t seem like he was joking at all.
Ye Jiu couldn’t help but laugh in anger, “Then Young Master Sikong has made a mistake, I am, in my own heart, still priceless.”
To think a house could trade for her, what a dream!
Ye Jiu’s round eyes widened with indignation, brimming with vitality, but it only led to a burst of laughter from Sikong Mo.
“Heh!” Sikong raised his hand and pinched Ye Jiu’s little face, “Since the house doesn’t interest you, then how about… trading it for myself instead?”
Before Ye Jiu could get angry, Sikong Mo added, “I’m joking with you. This house is worth a fortune, and I wouldn’t agree to just give it away.”
Ye Jiu was once again furious. So what if the house was worth a fortune? She had wealth beyond measure and was no less proud for it!
In an instant, Ye Jiu realized that she seemed to have been led by the nose by Sikong Mo all along.
That detestable man, was he blatantly crushing her with his intelligence?
Calming her emotions, Ye Jiu told herself not to be fooled, not to get angry.
She refused to let others so easily manipulate her feelings.
After gathering her thoughts, Ye Jiu spoke again, “Young Master Sikong wouldn’t have come in the middle of the night just because you knew I wanted to buy a house and particularly to peddle it, right?”
“Of course not,” Sikong Mo looked at her with a teasing smile, “Aren’t you also eager to learn martial arts? Surely you haven’t become lazy so quickly?”
“Not at all,” Ye Jiu retorted.
“Then let’s go, I’ll take you to practice martial arts,” Sikong Mo said.
Despite being very sleepy, Ye Jiu still got up from the bed for the sake of becoming the martial arts master of her dreams.
Ye Jiu had just stood up when Sikong Mo took her coat from nearby and, without any reservations, held it open for her to wear.
Ye Jiu’s cheeks flushed and she clumsily took the coat, “I… I can do it myself.”
What happened to the serious traditional gender boundaries?
Why didn’t she feel it at all?
After properly dressing, Ye Jiu, holding the land deed in her hand, said, “I don’t know how much Silver Young Master Sikong wants for the house, so I can pay.”
“No need for money,” Sikong Mo said.
Ye Jiu’s expression changed, “If Young Master Sikong doesn’t want money, then I cannot accept the house.”
Sikong Mo’s improper intentions were quite evident, but Ye Jiu could not entirely understand her own feelings.
It was certain she did not dislike Sikong Mo, but to say she had feelings for him, she felt something was lacking.
Never mind that they were only in an ambiguous phase for now, even if their relationship were to be affirmed, Ye Jiu wouldn’t accept such a valuable gift for no reason.
