“If you like it, let’s sign a contract now. Two silver a month, starting from a year, and an additional month’s worth of silver as a deposit. In total, it’ll be twenty-six silver.”
After Fang Tianliu saw it, he felt that it wasn’t bad and immediately said, “Zhao Zhan, the decision is yours to make.”
Yue Jiaojiao saw Zhao Zhan looking at her and nodded her head slightly.
Seeing that his lover had no objections, Zhao Zhan spoke up. “Then shall we go to the chief’s place to make the contract?”
Thinking back to the situation when he had dealt with the chief, Zhao Zhan paused for a moment before handing over the silver he was supposed to take to Fang Tianliu. “I’ll have to trouble you to make the trip there instead. My wife and I will wait for you here.”
“I was just about to tell you to let me go instead.” Fang Tianliu took the silver and stuffed it into his arms without even looking at it. He patted Qian Congren’s back. “Let’s go, buddy.”
Fang Tianliu’s attendant saw his young master leave and immediately followed suit.
Only Zhao Zhan and Yue Jiaojiao were left in the empty shop.
“Jiaojiao, about that jade…?”
“Jiangnan is far away. Even if we go there rashly now, we might not be able to get any information. It’ll take too long to go back and forth. It’ll be hard to pass the wintery slopes on the road.”
Yue Jiaojiao hooked Zhao Zhan’s thumb and looked up at him. “Besides, I should have had an entourage before the accident. Who knows, maybe my family will come to me after hearing the news? It’s possible that the jewelry in the beauty Pavilion was given to me by someone else.”
Yue Jiaojiao said as she raised her hand to tug at the corner of Zhao Zhan’s mouth. “Don’t be so nervous. When the blood clot in my head disappears and I remember, we’ll know what’s going on. I see a door at the back of this house. Shall we go and take a look?”
Yue Jiaojiao held Zhao Zhan’s hand and led him to the back door. “I didn’t expect that there would be a well and two rooms in the backyard. Although it’s not big, we can let the people who look after the shop stay here in the future.
“As for the tables and chairs, we can find Master Chen to make us more furniture. Two days ago, I went to him with Li Miao to check on the furniture progress. His craftsmanship is not bad.”
Yue Jiaojiao spoke for a long time but did not receive any response. When she looked up, she saw Zhao Zhan’s serious expression as he looked at her.
“Zhao Zhan?”
She tilted her head and said in a coy voice, “I said so much just now, but you didn’t listen to me. I don’t know what you’re thinking. I don’t think I need to talk to you anymore. No one will listen anyway.”
As Yue Jiaojiao spoke, she deliberately turned her back to him and snorted.
“I’m sorry.” Zhao Zhan hurriedly walked in front of her and carefully put his hand on her shoulder. He lowered his head to look at her expression. “I shouldn’t have disobeyed you and should’ve listened to what happened just now.”
He frowned and said carefully, “I’ll listen to you and not think about anything else time being, happy?”
Zhao Zhan saw that her expression had softened and boldly pulled her into his arms. He kissed her forehead gently and then leaned over. “Don’t be mad…”
Yue Jiaojiao almost burst out laughing. However, Zhao Zhan’s thoughts were too heavy, and she didn’t want him to keep thinking about anything else.
Let nature take its course, and when the time came, the truth would be discovered. Why should he carry a heavy burden to live?
Zhao Zhan was very familiar with her expression. Seeing her like this, he boldly rubbed his face against her and whispered in her ear, “Jiaojiao, I’ve forgotten what you taught me last time. I want to learn more.”
Her earlobes were burning. Yue Jiaojiao’s pretty face was covered in a layer of pink due to the heat. She spoke softly, her voice oozing with a layer of honey. “I’ve already taught you once last time. If you’ve forgotten, just forget it.”
Then… Zhao Zhan pressed his forehead against hers and said hoarsely, “Then I’ll do it just once. Can you tell me if I do it right?”
