Chapter 149: The Clean Reputation of His Life
Xiao Yurong did not think that his Eldest Senior Sister was ugly. He just thought she looked somewhat different from what he imagined her to be. After all, their Master said that the Eldest Senior Sister was charismatic with big eyes and arched eyebrows. He had also said that she was elegant and sophisticated like an angel.
Therefore, the Eldest Senior Sister that he imagined was a beauty.
However, the lady before him…
Xiao Yurong was disappointed for a moment. However, he thought it was ridiculous as soon as he felt that. How would a lady’s appearance be more important than her inner beauty!?
So what if his Eldest Senior Sister looked unremarkable?
She was talented and generous. She was a rare lady who was one in a million! How could he judge a book by its cover!?
Xiao Yurong walked over immediately. “Are you… Senior Sister Mo?”
His voice was emotional, and it was shaking a little.
Xie Pinghuai frowned and thought Teacher Xiao must be an imposter.
Could it be that Teacher Xiao had a twin brother? Just like him, who had a twin sister?
“Junior Brother Xiao?” Xie Qiao called out shamelessly while smiling.
Xiao Yurong was just like her Master had said—calm and proper. He looked like an educated man who could be intimidating.
“Just call me Ah Rong, Senior Sister,” Xiao Yurong said gently.
Xie Qiao was rendered speechless and felt a little disgusted out of nowhere.
She was… 16 this year, while Junior Brother Xiao was 29.
If her Master did not dote on her, she could only be a Junior Sister at her age. It was already difficult for her to call him Junior Brother Xiao, and now he wanted her to call him Ah Rong?
Hehehe…
She figured Xiao Yurong would be terribly embarrassed if he found out the truth one day. He would either kill himself or kill her.
Xie Qiao smiled awkwardly. “Junior Brother Xiao isn’t young. It’ll be immature if I call you that.”
Xiao Yurong smiled in disappointment and complimented immediately. “Your shop is amazing, Senior Sister. I saw the patterns on the talismans are as smooth as clouds and flowing water. If Senior Sister paints, you’ll definitely become the artist of the generation!”
Xie Qiao proceeded to nod awkwardly.
Had she known that Xiao Yurong was downstairs, she would rather listen to those ghouls complaining upstairs.
“Teacher Xiao, aren’t you guilty of saying that? These things won’t sell! Just tell the truth. Did someone deceive your Senior Sister?” Xie Pinghuai thought he had the responsibility to regain Teacher Xiao’s proper and strict character.
Teacher Xiao lost his smile as soon as he heard that.
“Nonsense, they will sell! I’ll buy them!” Teacher Xiao took out silver notes immediately, “Senior Sister, I want this stack of talismans!”
Teacher Xiao’s decisiveness surprised Xie Qiao.
At that moment, Shopkeeper Chang walked over when he saw Xiao Yurong. He said in confusion, “Teacher Xiao, are you sure you want these? Boss says that these are Pregnancy Talismans…”
Pregnancy Talismans were expensive; one cost 200 silver taels.
There were approximately 20 talismans in the stack. Why would he want them?
Xiao Yurong’s hand shook, and the talismans fell onto the ground. He was shocked. He grabbed and picked them up from the ground in a panic. He looked extremely clumsy. “It’s a misunderstanding, Senior Sister. I-I’m not buying talismans. I-I mean, these aren’t the ones that I want. I-I…”
Xiao Yurong was sweating. He had no idea what those talismans were…
He was worried that he would misspeak again, naming strange and inappropriate talismans…
He was a man, and he wanted to buy Pregnancy Talismans…
Xiao Yurong thought his clean reputation of the first half of his life was doomed. Not only that, but he also embarrassed himself before Senior Sister Mo. Would Senior Sister Mo think that he was weird and a bad person?
Xiao Yurong’s face flushed like an ant on a hot pan.
