Ruan Fuxi looked at him with a bright smile.
"Specially for what?" Did Yan Zhou mean he had prepared something just for her?
She stepped forward, closing the distance between them, so close that Ruan Fuxi could clearly see the reflection of her smile in Sheng Yanzhou's pupils.
In that moment, Sheng Yanzhou felt his breath catch as he looked at her smiling face, suddenly realizing something.
"Little Xi, you did that on purpose."
Ruan Fuxi tilted her head and asked, "On purpose for what?"
Sheng Yanzhou chuckled lightly and leaned closer.
"You’re teasing me, trying to see me flustered."
Ruan Fuxi was momentarily taken aback by his sudden movement, unable to respond.
"Why are you getting so close all of a sudden?"
Sheng Yanzhou raised an eyebrow.
"When you leaned in earlier, I thought you liked being a bit closer to me."
Ruan Fuxi felt the warmth of his breath mingling with her hair, causing her heart to race a little. She turned her head away to avoid his somewhat heated gaze and changed the subject.
"Is there anything else in this storage room besides the herbs?"
Sheng Yanzhou noticed her slightly flushed cheeks and the glimmer of amusement in his eyes. Before he could speak, Ruan Fuxi had already heard the thoughts of the puff pastry.
[This storage room is filled with herbs, but he has prepared other collection rooms too, saying everything inside is for his wife.]
Then Sheng Yanzhou said, "There are other things nearby. Would you like to take a look, Little Xi?"
Ruan Fuxi nodded eagerly. "Yes!"
Sheng Yanzhou led her to another area. He opened the door, and Ruan Fuxi was greeted by a room full of jade stones.
The market was divided into three distinct areas. One section housed raw jade stones, another contained uncarved pieces that had been polished, and the last area displayed exquisite finished sculptures. Most of these jades were of exceptional quality, with the least being of high grade.
Sheng Yanzhou felt a bit anxious, unsure if Xiao Xi would like the gifts. However, after Xiao Xi saved Qi Ting last time, she had requested jade as a token of gratitude, so he thought she would appreciate it.
Ruan Fuxi indeed loved them. To her, these were not just jade stones; they were infused with spiritual energy! In this market, the spiritual aura surrounding these jades was far more abundant than in other places.
"Are all these for me?" Ruan Fuxi felt the energy and began to breathe it in eagerly. This was enough to elevate her cultivation by a significant level.
Facing these precious jades that could fetch a high price outside, Sheng Yanzhou felt no remorse. "They're all for you. If you like them, I can bring you another batch later." The Sheng family owned several jade mines and had plenty to spare.
Ruan Fuxi's eyes sparkled with excitement. She was thrilled! In the cultivation world, her partner was a wealthy disciple from a prestigious sect, but she hadn't expected Sheng Yanzhou to be equally affluent in this realm.
She retracted her earlier complaints about the heavens. "Can I do whatever I want with these jades? Even if they end up as waste stones later?" Ruan Fuxi couldn't help but rub her hands together in glee. "This is my lucky day!"
After a moment of silence from Sheng Yanzhou, Ruan Fuxi grew curious. Was he reluctant to part with them? That didn't seem like him at all.
Puff, their pet, sat nearby and licked its paw.
"Inside are his family heirlooms and treasures given by the Sheng family for his wife. He said he wanted his wife to wear them and look beautiful."
Ruan Fuxi reassured Sheng Yanzhou, "Don't worry, I will only work with the materials and carve the jade. I won't touch anything that's already formed."
Sheng Yanzhou felt relieved. He was just worried that if Little Xi hadn't seen those exquisite finished products yet, they might end up as waste before she had the chance to appreciate them.
