Chapter 204: Chapter 152: Do You Even Return Favors Like This!_2

"Uh, there should be a few more dishes, I didn’t see you as a glutton."

Upon hearing this, Su Ziyi burst out laughing.

Is that a foodie?

"..." Yi Chilian quietly looked at Sui Yi’s serious yet innocent expression, and ultimately suppressed the urge to curse and took a deep breath, "Anyway, I don’t have the habit of letting ladies pay for me... Anyway, this doesn’t count!"

It was one thing to not be enthusiastic about treating, but to bring a stranger, and not only that but to remain silent!!

Saying ’anyway’ twice undoubtedly revealed the irritated mood of the ordinarily elegant and reserved Mr. Yi.

He turned and was about to leave...

"I have something for Mr. Yi"

"I don’t want it!" Mr. Yi continued walking...

After a few steps, he turned around, glaring at the two, "What gift?"

————————

For Yi Chilian, what he wanted was never a matter of availability but of preference.

Undoubtedly, he knew he liked the dagger that Sui Yi took out of her backpack at that moment just by looking at it.

After examining it in his hand for a while, his expression grew more solemn.

Clang, the Xiezhi Dagger was sheathed, he turned to look at Sui Yi, "Do you know how valuable this item is? Millions can’t buy its sheath."

"I don’t know, but I figured it can’t be worth more than my life..." Sui Yi zipped up her backpack, smiled lightly, "If Mr. Yi likes it, it’s good for self-defense, just avoid getting your own blood on it... otherwise, it will attract malevolent energy."

Yi Chilian, holding the Xiezhi Dagger, approached Sui Yi, "Are you so sure I would want it?"

"I can’t think of a better gift to give Mr. Yi, and evidently Mr. Yi would think so too," Sui Yi put on her backpack, grabbed the calligraphy bag Su Ziyi had given her and started to leave.

Suddenly, Yi Chilian’s voice came from behind, "Sui Yi, this dagger is not suitable for me; I prefer artifacts, so you keep the dagger for your self-defense. As for the favor I owe you, we can discuss it another day."

The dagger isn’t needed...

Sui Yi was a bit at a loss with this Yi Chilian; he always felt that his temperament was a bit odd, somewhat inscrutable.

Su Ziyi also found it odd, thinking to himself when Nanxun got such a person... Right, Yi? His surname is Yi?

Could it be...

"What about the ancient ink? Would Mr. Yi like some?"

Sui Yi’s words both resolved Su Ziyi’s doubts and stopped Yi Chilian in his tracks.

——————

Half an hour later, the three returned to the Classical Chinese Museum.

At that moment, Sui Yi took out two pieces of ink from two bags left in the care of Li Jingyan and laid them on the table, while Yi Chilian stood looking at them.

On the side, Elder Tang and others looked at each other, wanting to whisper but not daring to.

Elder De and Elder Han, however, were laughing and talking; of course, Elder Han also pulled Su Ziyi aside to ask about the details, and Su Ziyi told him honestly, though the inside story he did not know.

"So, it seems that Sui Yi and Mr. Yi are really..." Elder Han said, then saw his grandson’s expression change, and he also fell silent for a while before shaking his head.

This silly young man, has he also begun to be moved? But given his age, and considering Sui Yi was quite an attractive figure, it’s more about young people’s youthful feelings, so he shouldn’t take it too seriously, or it might backfire.

At this moment, Sui Yi was sitting in a chair on the side drinking tea, not bothering Yi Chilian.

After a while, Yi Chilian put down the two pieces of ink, looking at Sui Yi, "Which piece of ink were you thinking of giving me?"

His expression seemed half-joking, inscrutable.

"If Mr. Yi can tell what the ink on the left is, then the left piece, if you can’t tell, then the right piece," Sui Yi said meaningfully.

This drew the attention of those nearby.

Including Elder Tang and others, and the many businessmen, including Boss Gao, who didn’t want to leave when they saw Yi Chilian, they knew who he was when they saw Elder De and others’ behavior when Yi Chilian first walked in.

"Dad, who is that man?" Bai Lingshuang asked without blinking, having just seen Yi Chilian come in with Sui Yi and Su Ziyi.

Su Ziyi was already considered one of the finest young men, but he still fell short of Yi Chilian.

Not to mention Li Jingyan and Ah A, who were originally attractive men and heartthrobs, they were instantly overshadowed.

Now, their expressions were very strange.

"Really handsome..." Mrs. Bai and others also sighed.

That calm and elegant demeanor, there wasn’t a single woman not attracted by Yi Chilian, including many married women.

"He is..." Bai Xiong’s expression was complex; he, of course, knew who this person was.

In the past, he had seen him once during some town planning and construction, but he didn’t expect this man to have connections with Sui Yi.

If so, the matter Sui Yi wanted to handle in the Provincial City should have been straightforward, so why come to him without showing any high stature?

Strange, really strange...

Sui Yi, unaware of Bai Xiong’s mixed feelings, was merely holding a cup, letting the steam fog over her eyes while listening to Yi Chilian’s briefly questioning remark, "You call this a gift? Still testing me?"

"No, I just can’t distinguish them myself," Sui Yi shook her head, for she truly didn’t understand much about this field and only knew the left ancient ink had a peculiar scent, and as for the right one, she knew its worth, figuring at least one would satisfy the literate Yi Chilian.

"You couldn’t distinguish but still bought... where did you buy it?" Yi Chilian asked.(To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to vote, and recommend tickets at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
