My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1397 - 1325: Cast a Long Line to Catch a Big Fish

"Wow, she’s so beautiful."

"Look at that figure, just a glance is worth it. If I could touch her once, I wouldn’t have lived in vain."

"What are you thinking? Touch her? Dream on! I heard that ever since Miss Huashan arrived at Cui Xiang Building, she has never met with a man alone."

"Heh, I think it’s just that no one’s paid enough cash to spread her legs."

"Don’t you dare desecrate my Miss Huashan! Say that again, and see if I don’t fight you!"

The moment Huashan appeared, the crowd suddenly became chaotic.

All the men stared intently at Huashan, their eyes practically growing on her.

Among the crowd, there was also a guy who looked fat and piggy.

His name was Shen Chang’an, a well-known rich kid from Dragon City. Rumor has it there’s a mine in his family.

Ever since he saw Huashan three years ago, Shen Chang’an almost always came here, often spending lavishly just to win a beauty’s smile.

Over these years, Shen Chang’an has probably spent no less than tens of thousands of spirit stones on Huashan.

Those spirit stones could buy several Cui Xiang Buildings.

"Oh my, Young Master Shen is here too." The madam saw Shen Chang’an and was almost more enthusiastic than when facing Qin Muge.

Even though Qin Muge was generous, it was minor generosity, while Shen Chang’an was truly extravagant.

Every time he visited, the madam felt as if the God of Wealth had arrived.

Shen Chang’an showed no concern for the madam, his eyes still fixed on Huashan: "I’ve been coming here for three years and have never seen Miss Huashan’s true face. Today, I’ll give you a thousand spirit stones, let Miss Huashan take off her veil so I can have a look."

Bang!

Shen Chang’an directly threw a bag of spirit stones in front of the madam.

The madam’s eyes widened.

Her face couldn’t hide the joy.

Lavish spending!

What does it mean to spend lavishly?

This is lavish spending!

However, the madam also knew the art of fishing with a long line. If Shen Chang’an succeeded so easily, how could she ensure steady long-term gains?

"Oh dear, Young Master Shen, such bad timing. Miss Huashan happens to have a small blemish on her face today. If she takes off the veil, I’m afraid it might sully your eyes!" The madam weighed the bag in her hands, showing no intention of returning it to Shen Chang’an.

Shen Chang’an’s face darkened: "What do you mean? Every time I want to see Miss Huashan’s appearance, you always make excuses. Over these years, haven’t I spent tens of thousands of spirit stones at Cui Xiang Building? Yet you won’t even let me have a glimpse. What is it, are you treating me like a fool?"

Clearly, Shen Chang’an wasn’t backing down today.

In the past, he might have wanted to win Huashan’s heart and take things step by step.

But as time passed, Shen Chang’an realized that wasn’t the case at all.

Even if he handed over the entire Shen family’s fortune, they might still refuse.

If that’s the case, then don’t blame me for being rude.

Shen Chang’an shoved the madam aside: "Today, no matter what excuse you have, I’m seeing Miss Huashan’s true face."

As he spoke, Shen Chang’an strode toward Huashan.

The madam wasn’t surprised, and said calmly: "Young Master Shen, I know you have money, but here at Cui Xiang Building, it’s not a place where anyone can cause trouble as they please. Hehe, over the years, many have wanted to connect with Miss Huashan, including some dignitaries, but what happened in the end? Didn’t they all bow their heads and apologize? Young Master Shen, I advise you to think twice before acting."

As the madam finished speaking, ten or so men wielding clubs appeared, blocking Shen Chang’an.

The men present were all waiting for Huashan to play her instrument, but suddenly Shen Chang’an emerged, leading to so many burly men, each widening their eyes, eager to see the spectacle.

For them, missing out on such entertainment would be a waste.

"Yo, isn’t that the Shen family’s Young Master Shen?"

"Haha, I see him here almost every three days. He seems infatuated with Miss Huashan but hasn’t even seen her face."

"Really rich and willful, I heard this Young Master Shen’s family owns a spirit stone mine. They’re top-notch wealthy folks in Dragon City, even the people from the Imperial City know him, and he gets a monthly allowance of thousands of spirit stones."

"So much? Thousands of spirit stones, I could marry several wives with that amount."

"Look at you, even if you marry several wives, can they be as captivating as Miss Huashan’s finger?"

"Hmm, that’s true."

Upon recognizing Shen Chang’an, many whispered among themselves.

Though Ye Guichen was seated inside a private room, he heard clearly. The corner of his mouth slowly curved into a smile, "This Shen Chang’an looks like a frivolous playboy, but to look like a pig except for having money, he doesn’t seem to be capable of much else."

Qin Muge heard this and whispered: "Brother Ye, don’t underestimate the Shen Family. Although Shen Chang’an doesn’t have much skill, he’s said to be incompetent at everything and his cultivation hasn’t progressed for over twenty years, he has a knack for business. I heard he accidentally discovered their spirit stone mine. Otherwise, how could the Shen Family afford to give him thousands of spirit stones and let him squander here?"

"Oh?" Ye Guichen was rather surprised.

Accidentally discovering a spirit stone mine is rarer than winning the lottery.

Anyone who cultivates has a natural sensitivity to spirit stones.

If there was a spirit stone mine, wouldn’t it have been discovered?

Yet, Shen Chang’an lacks cultivation but managed to find a spirit stone mine, seemingly not as simple as he appears.

However, Ye Guichen merely chuckled.

Just like in the mortal world, many spend big money rewarding hosts, whether rich or poor, in hopes of winning some favor.

This Shen Chang’an is just another mediocre man.

Ye Guichen has little interest in beauty; he hadn’t expected a fight scene today—an unexpected delight, watching some martial arts unfold.

Without another word, Ye Guichen focused on Shen Chang’an.

Shen Chang’an, seeing the madam suddenly change her face, felt utterly infuriated that after spending thousands of spirit stones, he received no respect.

"What do you mean? Are you trying to stop me today?" Shen Chang’an glared at the men with a furious expression.

The madam giggled: "Young Master Shen, how could we dare stop you? But Miss Huashan isn’t just yours; she’s everyone’s. Besides, Miss Huashan hasn’t agreed, and you’re being rough. Isn’t that unreasonable?"

"Reasonable?" Shen Chang’an mocked: "I think all you care about is money!"

Rolling up his sleeves: "Today I’m determined not only to see Miss Huashan’s true face but to have her accompany me properly!"

Shen Chang’an then shouted loudly: "Bring them!"
