The Best Actor’s Courtship: Miss Scriptwriter, Please Love Me! - Chapter 310
Chapter 310 Extra Story—You’re Better off Dead in the Country of Mu Xia
From the font, Yun Muxi was guessing that the store’s master had to be a refined and fresh scholar, living a free life like those literary talents in the modern world.
After entering the storefront, she smelled an elegant fragrance, which was refreshing and comfortable.
There were many tables of different sizes, where plenty of small items were placed that were worthy of collection. Each one was unique or exquisite, including decorations, jewelry, jade, ornaments, pens and ink, plaques, cups, teapots, dishes, paintings, and so on.
It could be called a grocery store. Many different kinds of items were displayed here without any order, each of which had its own feature and was very special.
The master had to be a man who liked to collect exquisite and unique items and displayed all in this store to sell or wait for someone to come to trade some more exquisite things with him. Namely, it was more like a small-scale exhibition hall. The master seemed to constantly collect and display the items to find the fated persons. Then, he would be satisfied.
Finding that Yun Muxi liked this store, Duanmu Gongyu said softly, “Go inside if you like. We can buy anything you want. I need to buy something in the next store. You can call me at any time.”
Yun Muxi did not care too much about Duanmu Gongyu’s meaning, as she walked into the store.
The next shop was selling some female clothes and accessories. Duanmu Gongyu found that Yun Muxi bought nothing, so he went to buy some essential items for her, including clothes and accessories.
Yun Muxi casually looked through these small objects in the store. Suddenly, she was attracted by a beautiful jade bracelet.
The texture of this jade bracelet was very unique, which seemed to depict a landscape painting, including mountains, rivers, birds, and clouds. The jade was naturally formed, as was the texture. However, the painting inside seemed to be drawn by a famous painter. In fact, it was somewhat different from a complete famous painting, but was just a vague pictogram, which was more like an abstract landscape painting.
Yun Muxi’s soul seemed to have been sucked in, and she asked excitedly, “Sir, how much is it? Can I try it?”
The manager nodded and put on a mysterious smile. “The goods in my store are all sold by fate. The fate between you and this item will decide the price.”
Yun Muxi got permission, reaching out to pick up the jade bracelet, but another hand took the first step to get it before her.
Following the hand, Yun Muxi saw a woman with delicate makeup. Her eyes showed a sense of amorousness. According to the aesthetics of modern people like Yun Muxi, this woman was beautiful but too amorous. People would be bored at her and think of a vixen. Perhaps only those womanizers would like this kind of look.
Yun Muxi slightly frowned and said unpleasantly, “I am sorry. I found this jade bracelet first.”
Hearing this, Huangfu Yuqing glanced at Yun Muxi arrogantly. “So what? I got it first! Do you know who I am? My father is General Huangfu! Go ask anyone. Things that I, Huangfu Yuqing, like cannot be taken away. Who the hell are you?”
Seeing that Yun Muxi dressed ordinarily, Huangfu Yuqing spoke more unscrupulously.
Yun Muxi hated this kind of person who looked down upon others because of having a rich and powerful family, so she felt angry at once!
Yun Muxi was still sensitive even though she was angry. After all, she came here for the first time, so she could not behave so rashly. Having known little about this world, she was somewhat worried, but still argued with her. “Anyhow, you should reason things out. I found this bracelet first, so you can’t forcibly take it away.”
“You said that you found it before me. Do you have any proof?” Huangfu Yuqing raised her chin to look at Yun Muxi. Being afraid of her identity, the manager dared not offend her and would not help such a little girl.
“The manager can prove it because I have asked for the price before,” Yun Muxi answered with confidence.
“So what? I like this bracelet and will but it. How much will you pay for it? I will pay twice as much as you do,” Huangfu Yuqing said arrogantly, guessing that Yun Muxi could not pay too much for this bracelet, whose financial strength was definitely less than hers.
Hearing this, Yun Muxi felt somewhat worried. After all, she had no money. Even though Duanmu Gongyu passed her a purse, she did not know how much she had. What was worse, she even did not know what the alternate units were in this world and if it was enough to buy it.
But looking at this bracelet that she really liked, she was reluctant to give up. Then, she said, “Just now, the manager said all the goods in this store will be sold at a price that depends on the fate between the buyer and the item.”
Huangfu Yuqing saw that Yun Muxi dared not talk about the price, so she could confirm that the girl did not have enough money to buy it. She behaved more arrogantly. “Okay, it’s not all cats or dogs that are qualified to grab things with me. You’re somewhat smart. I suggest you leave before I really get mad. Otherwise, I won’t treat you so politely like this!”
“Oh? How are you going to treat her?”
Before Yun Muxi planned to say something, a cold voice came from behind them, which froze people’s minds at once. It could even turn people’s blood cold.
Both Yun Muxi and Huangfu Yuqing turned to the door, seeing Duanmu Gongyu stepping toward them with a gloomy expression and a piercing sense of coldness.
Huangfu Yuqing felt a cold air surging from her toes to her head and could not help shivering.
“Brother Gongyu?”
“Sister Yuqing!”
Huangfu Yuqing and Duanmu Gongjing spoke at the same time. Seeing the incoming person was Duanmu Gongyu, she felt quite surprised and put on a smile. Duanmu Gongjing, who was following him, also asked Huangfu Yuqing when seeing her here.
Originally, Duanmu Gongjing went out of Emperor Yu’s Mansion and prepared to go back to the imperial palace, but had encountered Huangfu Yuqing, who was planning to go to the fair. Then, she went to the fair along with Huangfu Yuqing. Just arriving here and planning to go into this store, Duanmu Gongjing saw a person looking like Duanmu Gongyu, so she went into the next store.
Duanmu Gongyu entered the store, but felt speechless when seeing all kinds of goods in front of him! This store was full of everything that women needed, which was also the best in this city. He had never bought female things before and did not know how to choose, so he ordered the manager to pack all the styles in this store and send them to his Emperor Yu’s Mansion. Later on, Yun Muxi could choose what she liked.
Just when he made the order did he hear Duanmu Gongjing’s voice. He did not want to answer her but turned to the next store to look for Yun Muxi. He had not expected that he would see Huangfu Yuqing yelling at Yun Muxi.
Duanmu Gongjing felt the sudden coldness from Duanmu Gongyu and planned to see who bothered him, only to find that Huangfu Yuqing was there.
Duanmu Gongyu said in a cold voice again, “I just want to see how you will treat her!”
Huangfu Yuqing immediately said with a flattering expression, “Ah, Brother Gongyu, you must have misheard my words. How could I say such stupid words?”
Yun Muxi groaned in her mind, “She really dares say so. How powerful she was just now! Why does she behave so obediently? Pretending to be a Mary Sue? How can she deny what she has said without any hesitation? It’s really disgusting.”
Duanmu Gongyu walked in and stood in front of Yun Muxi, staring at Huangfu Yuqing with anger.
Huangfu Yuqing dared not look straight at Duanmu Gongyu’s eyes because of a guilty conscience, but turned to make eye contact with Duanmu Gongjing behind him for help.
Duanmu Gongjing received Huangfu Yuqing’s suggestion and walked to in front of Duanmu Gongyu. Before she could help Huangfu Yuqing to say some good words, she saw Yun Muxi was there, and she screamed at her in shock, “Why are you here again?”
. Hearing her words, Huangfu Yuqing asked with confusion, “You know each other?”
Duanmu Gongjing shouted angrily, “Sister Yuqing, she is the woman I mentioned to you just now.”
Hearing this, Huangfu Yuqing was shocked and turned to look at Yun Muxi with anger and jealousy on her face.
When she met Duanmu Gongjing and found that she was not happy, she asked the reason. Duanmu Gongjing told her that she even saw that a woman was allowed to sit on the banned swing. She could easily tell that Brother Gongyu treated this woman differently and had to have an important position in his mind. They were complaining about this vicious woman to vent their offence.
They had not expected that the woman who was grabbing the jade bracelet was the same one that they had complained about all the way. Meanwhile, when seeing that Duanmu Gongyu was always trying to protect her, she could confirm that Duanmu Gongyu treated this woman differently.
Huangfu Yuqing had always had affection for Duanmu Gongyu and pursued him for a long time, but the latter always ignored her. She thought that Duanmu Gongyu had no interest in every woman and she would be the most suitable one to marry him! Duanmu Gongyu would finally be hers, so she always considered him as her husband.
However, a woman showed up. She did not know who she was and why she could get Duanmu Gongyu’s attention.
At this moment, Huangfu Yuqing hated Yun Muxi to the extreme, hoping to tear her to pieces. And she dared to come out to tempt her Brother Gongyu.
Duanmu Gongyu frowned when seeing Huangfu Yuqing’s piercing gaze at Yun Muxi and said in a cold voice, “Huangfu Yuqing, I warn you not to bother her. If you do, I will let you know that is better to die.”
Huangfu Yuqing felt wronged when hearing this and burst into tears, saying, “Brother Gongyu, how can you treat me like this for such a woman? You failed my true love for you.”
Duanmu Gongyu’s voice was a bit colder. “Don’t test my patience. Get out of there before I become angry!”
