Su Wan winked at Jiang Xuecheng with a slight complacency in her expression.

She seemed to be saying, "Aren't you going to praise me? If we had paid just now, we'd have been ripped off."

Jiang Xuecheng met Su Wan's pleased look and was tongue tied for a moment. One hundred dollars and two hundred dollars, to him, was a small, negligible amount.

However, at the same time, Jiang Xuecheng found Su Wan's sly look alluring, making him itch within and have the urge to pinch her cheek.

"Do you want to buy it or not?"

When the shop owner saw that both of them were silent, she felt gloomy.

She merely wanted to raise the price for the pendant. They looked like rich people. Why were they so calculative?

Upon hearing this, Su Wan's eyes landed on the lady shop owner. The shop owner had given them a fifty percent discount easily without any heart ache. It showed that the cost of this pendant was lower than a hundred dollars.

Su Wan gave out a harmless smile as she said, "One hundred is still too expensive. How about fifty dollars?"

Hearing how Su Wan bargained, the lady shop owner was helpless. The wholesale price of this pendant was only fifteen dollars. No matter what, she would still make a profit.

Her eyes rolled for a moment and then pretended to sigh in pain.

"Alright, fifty then…If this wasn't my first deal today, I wouldn't sell it at such a low price."

When Su Wan saw how the shop owner rolled her eyes, she knew the wooden pendant was not worth fifty dollars. However, she didn't want to bargain anymore. She knew exactly where to stop.

The shop owner wrapped up the wooden pendant and passed it to Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng. "Thank you. Do visit again!"

Could the nutrition be so good that young people these days were all so good-looking?

The shop owner looked at Jiang Xuecheng's and Su Wan's back and couldn't help hitting her forehead. They were such a good-looking couple. It was a rare sight…

Watching them walking farther and farther away, a picture on the newspaper suddenly appeared in her mind.

The back of both of them looked so much like a picture of a main news in S City Express Mail! It was about the marriage of Di Chen Group's CEO and Sheng Yuan Group's second young missy…

Oh wait, didn't the girl called the man Xuecheng just now? Could he be Jiang Xuecheng of Di Chen Group?

The shop owner touched her forehead and was dumbfounded. Her eyes were full of disbelief. It couldn't be, if they were really the young master and his wife, why were they bargaining with her just now?

***

Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng had gone far by now.

Su Wan took out the pendant carved with the words 'To be united forever'. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She especially liked the sentence 'May I be like the stars and you, the moon; May we shine brightly every night.' No matter how she looked at it, she was not tired of it.

Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan's look and couldn't help ridiculing her. "Wan Wan, how old are you? This is something kids like and you're so fond of it till you can't let go?"

Su Wan glared at him. "Fuddy-duddy. With you by my side, I'll be young forever."

Jiang Xuecheng was only six years older than her but why did it seem they had a big gap between them when she thought of Jiang Xuecheng's boring personality?

Su Wan held the pendant and shook it gently in front of Jiang Xuecheng. There was a kind of unhidden pride and pleasure in her look.

"See, I've bargained more than half the price for this pendant. Don't get ripped off the next time you buy things."

Jiang Xuecheng stared at Su Wan's tilted face in amusement, "Wan Wan, if you have the mood to bargain with others, why don't you think of how to make more money? That's more practical."

If he had half an hour of leisure time to bargain with the lady shop owner, he could have signed a huge business deal.

Su Wan thought about what Jiang Xuecheng said and her spirit faded away. She shook her head helplessly. "There's a special pleasure in bargaining, not that you would know."

If Su Wan had bought that pendant with two hundred dollars, she wouldn't have her current elation.

Jiang Xuecheng smiled faintly and shook his head as he said to Su Wan, "You're focusing too much on going after little gains!"

Su Wan who was said to be going after little gains, bared her teeth toward him and she looked like a little kitten whose tail had been stepped on.

"You're right. I'm just a citizen who is going after little gains but I feel you're no better than me, Mr. CEO. You're merely a money-minded unscrupulous merchant!"

"Sharp-tongued."

What's wrong with being an unscrupulous merchant? When one has been in the business world for long, one would understand the rule.

Jiang Xuecheng raised his brows calmly. His elegant and calm princely look made Su Wan feel like a shrew. She looked up at the sky in frustration and felt she was punching cotton and couldn't use her strength.

Why was she of no match to Jiang Xuecheng when it came to bickering?

The heavens were not fair!

Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan pout and looked indifferent. He held Su Wan by the shoulder and he smiled a warm smile.

"Okay, let me, the unscrupulous merchant, apologize to you."

Su Wan was amused by Jiang Xuecheng's words and tone. She looked at the mountains not far away and pointed. "Let's climb that mountain, the tallest one!"

Jiang Xuecheng examined Su Wan's skinny and fragile body. His voice was calm but what he said made her wish to vomit blood. "Wan Wan, with your stamina, are you sure you can climb up that mountain by yourself?"

Su Wan roughly estimated the height of that mountain but did not pretend she could do it.

She smiled as she replied, "Don't I have you? If I can't climb, you can carry me on your back. Err, why don't we go up by the cable car?"

Jiang Xuecheng raised one hand and supported his chin with the back of his hand and showed a playful look.

"So, you still know your limits…"

What on earth did this man eat while growing up? Why was his tongue so vicious?

Su Wan swept across Jiang Xuecheng speechlessly with her eyes. She did not argue with him as she didn't want to humiliate herself.

"Let's go…"

Su Wan hugged Jiang Xuecheng's arm and just when she was about to drag him forward, she suddenly saw a group of students not far away.

There were all girls and they looked like they were sixteen or seventeen of age.

"Wow, that man is so handsome!"

"Yes, really handsome! He's more handsome than the celebrities on television…"

"Is he a celebrity too? Maybe he's one whom we don't know?"

The words of discussion entered Su Wan's and Jiang Xuecheng's ears. Jiang Xuecheng was calm and not moved but Su Wan felt sweet and aggrieved in her heart.

Suddenly, snap! The sound of the photograph taking was heard.

Err, Su Wan raised her head and saw a bold girl taking a picture. Both Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng had appeared in someone's album…
