"Fu Shou Lu" is indeed nice, but this kind of jade is more suitable for older people to wear.

Li Changlin wanted to help Lin Ruonan choose a piece of fine jade, but "Fu Shou Lu" was not actually the best choice.

"Stop being modest, I know you all too well, Brother Changlin, look, even Sister Ziyu has been charmed by you." In fact, as Li Changlin was talking to Zhong Jianping, Bai Ziyu, who stood by her side, couldn’t help but sneak several glances at Li Changlin.

Although the move was a bit secretive, Zhong Jianping still noticed it.

Now, both Li Changlin and Bai Ziyu were somewhat embarrassed, and even Lin Ruonan, standing next to Li Changlin, couldn’t help but give Bai Ziyu a vicious look.

Following that, Lin Ruonan even stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Li Changlin’s arm, a gesture declaring her ownership.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Jianping suddenly realized what was happening and quietly stuck out her tongue, then made an innocent face at Li Changlin.

Seeing Zhong Jianping’s expression, Li Changlin was at a loss for words.

However, he was thrilled that Lin Ruonan had taken the initiative to hold onto his arm, which excited him quite a bit.

"Could it be that Ruonan still has lingering feelings for me?" Li Changlin’s heart stirred, and he quickly turned his head to look at Lin Ruonan.

Seemingly sensing Li Changlin’s gaze, Lin Ruonan immediately became rather embarrassed.

Torn inside, the girl quietly let go of Li Changlin’s arm, instantly making him feel a great sense of loss.

"Sister Ziyu, do you really want to choose this rough stone? It’s so ugly, I think that one over there is nicer." At that moment, Zhong Jianping spoke up again, possibly to ease the awkwardness between them. She pointed to the rough stone that Lin Ruonan had previously shown interest in.

"I still think this one is nice." Bai Ziyu smiled faintly and did not take Zhong Jianping’s advice.

It was clear from this that the girl had a very strong personal opinion and would not let others’ views affect her own judgment.

"Alright then, let’s listen to Sister Ziyu." Compared to Bai Ziyu, Zhong Jianping appeared somewhat naïve, and seeing Bai Ziyu stand her ground, she did not try to persuade her further.

"Mr. Li, do you think my rough stone can reveal any jade?" But who knew, Bai Ziyu suddenly looked up at Li Changlin and asked softly.

"That rough stone is too ugly, I doubt there’s anything inside." Just as Li Changlin was about to reply, Lin Ruonan had already coldly spoken up first.

"It seems Miss Lin has something against me." Bai Ziyu turned to look at Lin Ruonan, "Since Miss Lin thinks this rough stone won’t reveal any jade, how about we make a bet?"

"How shall we bet?" In such a situation, Lin Ruonan couldn’t lose face. Although she rarely dealt with raw stones, having been to the antique market a few times, she didn’t believe that this particular stone would produce any jade.

"Miss Lin believes that this raw stone won’t yield jade, but I believe otherwise," Bai Ziyu said with a soft smile. "I’m convinced it will produce not just any jade, but top-quality jade. Since you’re Ah Ping’s good friend, we should avoid any ill will. How about this: let’s bet on the price of this raw stone?"

The raw stone was priced at eight thousand, which, according to Bai Ziyu’s suggestion, would be the stake of the bet.

To this, Lin Ruonan naturally had no objections and promptly nodded, "Okay, let’s do it your way."

"What’s there to bet about? We’re all friends here," Li Changlin couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly. He knew perfectly well whether the stone contained jade. The assertion by Bai Ziyu that not only was there jade inside the stone but of high quality as well had taken Li Changlin by surprise, and he couldn’t help but feel a touch of curiosity about this girl.

"Mr. Li, do you perhaps think this raw stone contains top-quality jade?" Bai Ziyu lifted her gaze to Li Changlin with a playful smile on her face.

Cough cough cough...

Li Changlin coughed dryly, finding the question a bit difficult to answer.

If he agreed with Bai Ziyu, first off, he would definitely offend Lin Ruonan unintentionally, which was not something he wanted to see happen; secondly, if he did agree with Bai Ziyu, what would he say if she asked why he was so sure?

It was a trap!

Soon, Li Changlin realized it.

"Well, I have never dealt with raw stones before, so I really can’t say," Li Changlin said sheepishly, touching his nose. This seemed to be the best answer he could give in this frustrating situation.

"So Mr. Li has never played with raw stones before," Bai Ziyu nodded as if she believed him, and without pursuing the matter further, she turned to Lin Ruonan, "Miss Lin, shall we go cut the stone now, or would you like to finish selecting first and then go together?"

"If you don’t mind waiting, then please wait a moment," Lin Ruonan replied. She was no pushover and had detected a hint of danger in Bai Ziyu’s eyes, so she turned to Li Changlin, "Changlin, let’s pick our stones first, then go cut them with them later."

"Okay," Li Changlin nodded. The effectiveness of the Clairvoyance Potion had already worn off, so he quickly pretended to check the time and discreetly opened his phone to activate another dose.

"Thank goodness I went to the bathroom before leaving the house, otherwise I really would’ve wasted the Clairvoyance Potion," Li Changlin thought with relief. He never expected to run into someone he knew while buying a raw stone, let alone that Bai Ziyu would snatch the stone he had his eye on and also waste the potion’s duration. Fortunately, he had prepared ten more doses during his restroom trip, or he really would’ve been in trouble!

Thus, the two continued searching among the raw stones, while Zhong Jianping and Bai Ziyu quietly waited aside.

"That Bai Ziyu is such a sly fox!" Lin Ruonan muttered under her breath as they walked, then turning to Li Changlin she said, "Li Changlin, you better not make the same mistake Xu Xin did!"

Cough cough cough... "Ruonan, where is your mind wandering?" Li Changlin was incredibly embarrassed. He hadn’t expected Lin Ruonan to bring up this issue out of the blue, leaving him utterly flustered and at a loss for words.

"I’m just looking out for you. Be careful, if Bai Ziyu has any designs on you, you’ll really be in trouble," Lin Ruonan wasn’t like Li Changlin; she was much more perceptive and had already realized that Bai Ziyu was no ordinary person.
