Chapter 135
“Getting up this early, won’t you be sleepy?” He lowered his head and kissed the soft corner of the young girl’s lips.
“I went to bed at 11 pm last night, and I’ve already slept for six hours. That’s enough,” Su Xiaoxiao responded playfully.
She seized the opportunity to bite Jiang Yexun’s lips, gently grazing them with her teeth.
His breathing suddenly hitched, and he lightly pinched her waist in response.
“Be good. Weren’t we planning to go to the black market early?” Jiang Yexun said hoarsely.
Previously, their kisses usually lasted for just around ten minutes. But since they discovered new ways of being intimate last night, now, it wasn’t just an hour. As long as Su Xiaoxiao didn’t kick him off the bed, he could continue cuddling for a whole day and night without getting enough.
“Okay,” Su Xiaoxiao reluctantly replied, knowing they had business to attend to today.
However, those sweet lips of hers clung tightly to Jiang Yexun and didn’t want to part.
Jiang Yexun decided to lift her up and head towards the bed. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t let go either and wrapped her long legs around his waist, even when they sat on the bed. Jiang Yexun didn’t want to release her and used his legs to unscrew a thermos. He then took out a cold bun and held it to his little sweetheart’s lips.
Su Xiaoxiao took a bite and pushed the bun back toward him. “Brother Yexun, have some too.”
Jiang Yexun, watching the bun with a half-moon-shaped bite mark shift to his side, bit into it.
Su Xiaoxiao’s body shivered as a result of his deliberate action, and her toes curled. Fortunately, when Jiang Yexun noticed her reaction, he stopped himself from going any further.
However, they ended up spending nearly half an hour being affectionate while sharing the buns.
Su Xiaoxiao, blushing, finally followed Jiang Yexun out of the room.
They reached the black market before 6 o’clock. There were already many customers who had come early to purchase the renowned beauty pills.
Seeing them arrive so early today, it surprised everyone.
“Why did you come an hour earlier today compared to before? Did you have a lot of stock?” one curious girl asked.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “No, we’re leaving tomorrow, so we planned to sell everything early and then go sightseeing.”
This news seemed to shock the other women. “You’re leaving? Does that mean we won’t be able to buy such good things anymore?”
Though the first two days had seen fewer customers for the beauty pills, the effects had started showing by the third day. Today, many girls had come specifically for them.
“We’ll come back in the future, and if, for some reason, we can’t return in a short period, we’ll find someone to sell them on our behalf. So you don’t have to worry,” Su Xiaoxiao reassured everyone with a smile.
The panic on their faces subsided a bit after hearing her explanation.
Finding such effective skincare products was difficult, and they were hesitant to return to ordinary products, even if these were more expensive.
Su Xiaoxiao had been prepared for the reaction, so she wasn’t particularly disappointed.
As they were about to leave, they suddenly noticed an elderly farmer whose face appeared desiccated, holding a dirty piece of cloth close to his chest among the stalls.
He wasn’t willing to reveal what he had in his possession to anyone and simply allowed passersby to glance at it. When someone showed interest, he spoke eagerly, “Wanna buy some antique items? I’ve got a great treasure here, something that was once used by an emperor.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s hearing had become particularly acute after her rebirth, so even though the farmer’s voice was barely audible, she heard it clearly.
She subconsciously looked at Jiang Yexun and saw that he also seemed to have heard what the farmer said.
“Shall we go and take a look?” Su Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes and made the suggestion.
Jiang Yexun pulled her toward the elderly farmer. Before they could say anything, the farmer immediately gave them a discerning look from head to toe.
“You’re both so young; how much money could you possibly have in your pockets? This is a great treasure that an emperor used. If it’s not at least 500 yuan, I absolutely won’t sell it,” the farmer declared with determination.
Before Su Xiaoxiao could speak, other vendors around them sneered, “Are you out of your mind? If you have that much money, why don’t you go to an antique store? You’ve exposed yourself in broad daylight; aren’t you afraid of getting caught?”
“That’s right! You don’t need to pay attention to him. He’s been coming here every week for the past three months. People who often buy antique items have seen his things before. They all said it’s fake.”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled lightly and said, “It’s fine; if it turns out to be fake, I won’t buy it. I just want to see what the item that an emperor once used looks like.”
The farmer disdainfully waved his hand, “Go away, go away! If you’re just here to watch the fun, don’t waste my time.”
“If your item is really something that an emperor once used, we can negotiate the price.” Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t concerned about the farmer’s attitude.
The farmer, though still skeptical, looked at Su Xiaoxiao and then at Jiang Yexun, beside her.
In his eyes, a young lady couldn’t be the main negotiator for something like this. These matters of money were better left to the bigwigs of the household.
However, he appeared to be more convinced by Jiang Yexun.
In his opinion, a young girl wouldn’t be able to handle financial matters, and these decisions should be made by the men in the family.
