Chapter 29: Reluctantly accept with a smile; No! Say you intend to marry work in this life…
“Tsk, this piece of material…”
As soon as 2817 came out, whether people had seen it before or not, everyone shook their heads in tacit agreement after viewing it. It was unclear if the reason was regret or pessimism.
With both ringworm and cracks, even if it was Ice Species or higher, or Imperial Green jadeite, if it couldn’t be carved and sold, it was equivalent to opening nothing (loneliness).
Oh wait, loneliness doesn’t cost money, but 2817 cost over a million in reverse.
Facing the heartbroken gazes of the crowd, the “Prodigal Son” Le Can walked calmly and composedly to the side of his own ominous material.
The youth lowered his head, quietly gazing at the crack in the middle of the raw material that couldn’t be ignored. Seemingly at a loss for where to start, he was actually racking his brains to recall the few words that appeared in the original one hundred thousand words.
Memory rebooting…
Reboot failed.
The ten thousand words of plot Le Can had read were swallowed whole without chewing, let alone a small jadeite raw stone that didn’t occupy many appearances in the content.
The descriptions in the original work also focused more on the dazzling top-tier jadeite after cutting, rather than its dusty, unpopular raw state.
The only thing Le Can remembered deeply was a sentence from a reader’s comment:
Light concealed within, treasure hides itself.
Undoubtedly, 2817 was extremely deceptive.
And precisely because of this, so many knowledgeable people dared not buy it, allowing him, a not-quite-qualified transmigrator, to locate it relying on fuzzy memory and pick up this hidden treasure.
“Hmph!”
A sound of dissatisfied scoffing rang out beside him.
Le Can turned his head and unsurprisingly saw Gu Xinxue, whose nose wasn’t a nose and eyes weren’t eyes (looking extremely displeased).
Probably because the victory that was originally in the bag was gone, the person who didn’t know how to use his facial features well twisted his expression even more. Filled with unwillingness and depressed anger he dared not voice, he threw it all into a blunt gaze that stabbed toward Le Can like a needle.
But this drizzle-level targeting and threat… Le Can looked quietly for two seconds, then slowly smiled at him.
Feeling that if he took it seriously, his IQ might be dragged down synchronously.
The sudden smile and the gaze landing on him made Gu Xinxue feel inexplicably creepy. He swished back half a step, and under Le Can’s increasingly caring gaze, braced himself and moved back.
“Hey you, I’m telling you, don’t think that just because you chose the most controversial raw material, you can keep Xi Yun’s gaze on you forever!”
Le Can, honored with a new address (“Hey you/That who”), glanced at Xi Yun, who was sitting quietly in the wheelchair pretending to be blind with white silk covering his face. Shocked by the other party’s solemn nonsense, he widened his eyes slightly.
Gaze? Stay on me?
Do you want to look at what style the male lead is rocking right now?
“Cough,” Gu Xinxue understood Le Can’s look but selectively ignored it. ” The eyes of the masses are sharp; everyone can see who is the most suitable person for Xi Yun!”
Saying this, he puffed out his chest, just short of directly declaring the identity of that most suitable person.
Le Can burst out laughing, feeling that the private nickname “Little Peacock” really suited the person in front of him.
However… his reckless peach blossom eyes turned, and out of the corner of his eye, as expected, he met Xi Ziyu, who was hidden behind the crowd with a gloomy gaze.
The gun shoots the bird that sticks its head out. Sometimes jumping too much and acting too eager easily attracts perverts with brain problems.
Le Can was too busy to look after himself, so he could only pass a “good luck” look over. As for whether the other party understood it, that wasn’t within his scope of responsibility…
Unsurprisingly, Gu Xinxue didn’t understand and was so angered by Le Can’s detached attitude that he glared ferociously at him twice.
Finally, the Little Peacock could only dryly utter a threat: “You just wait for me!”
Le Can readily accepted this sentence, slowly nodding his chin. “Okay, I’m waiting.”
Gu Xinxue was so angry he had no choice but to run to the stone-cutting master and urge him to rub faster.
Compared to the other master who was rubbing the stone with ease, the master helping Le Can cut the stone was a bit unsure where to start.
Actually, the performance of this raw material was too poor; the best way was to cut it in half right down the middle, saving time and effort.
Le Can refused this method, but he didn’t make it too difficult for the master, directly giving the cutting steps he wanted.
First, split the raw stone in half along the big crack, and finally start rubbing the stone from the cut surface, extending little by little from the inside to both sides, in order to preserve the integrity of the internal jadeite to the maximum extent.
A very safe approach, provided there was intact jadeite inside.
The stone-cutting master had worked in this position for many years and had seen all kinds of crazy and unwilling gamblers. The young man in front of him, being able to speak logically, was considered relatively rational.
Knowing that this type of person couldn’t be persuaded, he sighed lightly and began to work according to instructions.
The zzzt zzzt zzzt sound of the machine starting rang out. Le Can satisfiedly added to the master’s red envelope in his mind. Who knew that upon turning around, he would receive a large swath of hesitant gazes.
Like they couldn’t bear to burst a bubble, yet felt a guilty conscience because they knew something. Typical representatives of this included the emotionally expressive Yuan Cheng and Xie Jun.
“What’s wrong?”
Le Can leaned against Xi Yun’s backrest, blinking lightly and quickly.
“Ah? Ah ah! Nothing, nothing!”
Yuan Cheng hurriedly withdrew his gaze, tilting his neck and raising his hand to scratch the back of his head in a clumsy attempt to cover up.
Xie Jun reacted a step slower and had her line stolen, so she could only give a dry laugh, “Hahaha, it’s fine, it’s fine, I was just… Right! I was just curious when you two are getting married!”
“Getting married?” Le Can was slightly surprised.
He lowered his eyes to scan Xi Yun, who had just said “We will” to Tan Man, and didn’t dismantle the male lead’s stage in public.
Anyway, marrying Xi Yun was impossible. Le Can thought for a second, then immediately opened his peach blossom eyes that could deceive people to death and started talking nonsense.
“Actually, both of us tend to want to get married earlier, but how should I put it…”
“My relationship with my eldest uncle’s family isn’t very good. Last time I went back specially, they didn’t even save me any rice…”
The silence here spoke louder than words. Xie Jun and Tan Man, unaware of the truth, felt indignant. Even Du Ran, who secretly poked her head over, wore a trace of disapproval on her face.
Only Yuan Cheng, who had witnessed Le Can slaughtering everyone at the Le family home: Dumbfounded.JPG
Le Can glanced faintly at the shocked Yuan Cheng, eyes containing a warning. Immediately after, he propped his chin with his hand, putting on a bitter look of forced calm.
“Originally, blessings from relatives shouldn’t be forced, but they told me to leave before I even got the household register (Hukou)… Isn’t that why it’s been delayed until now?”
Understanding the reason for the so-called delay in the wedding date, Xie Jun and Tan Man, whose expressions were originally listless, suddenly lit up.
Seeing this reaction, Le Can inexplicably had an ominous premonition.
Tan Man, with a face saying [How is this child more out of the loop than me], clapped her hands happily: “Look at you, you must not have paid attention to the latest news.”
Xie Jun, holding onto her bodyguard Yin Wuyu’s arm, laughed until she leaned back and forth, her posture quite dashing and unrestrained.
“Auntie Man, don’t just talk about Le Can. I’m afraid the husband-husband pair both don’t know about the latest policy hahahaha!”
The ominous premonition gradually heavied. Le Can’s voice was strained: “What latest policy?”
Even Du Ran, who had been observing silently from the side, rarely chipped in: “Now, registering for marriage no longer requires a household register. As long as both parties arrive at the scene and produce their respective resident ID cards, they can get the certificate.”
Boom! Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky!
Le Can was blank, at a loss. His memory was still stuck on the set from before he transmigrated.
Especially the news about climbing walls at midnight, making a feint to the east while attacking the west, and all sorts of wits and battles to steal the household register to get married left the deepest impression.
No, in a big male-lead no-CP novel, man-man marriage is acceptable, but how did marriage save even the household register?!
And what good person transmigrates and, instead of thinking about how to gain a firm foothold, immediately cares about revised regulations? And related to marriage registration at that?!
Anyway, he didn’t.
Le Can clenched his back molars and squeezed out a smile: “So now only ID cards are needed.”
[Save me, save me, save me]
Slender, beautiful fingers quietly reached behind Xi Yun and poked one of his shoulders: “Xi Yun, then we…”
[No! Quick, say No! Say you intend to marry work in this life!]
The man sitting upright in the wheelchair hooked his lips in an imperceptible arc: “It was my negligence, wasting so much time.”
Hearing this, Le Can felt half his body go numb.
No! Calculating fully, it hasn’t even been a week since he transmigrated, right? Long? Where is it long? How is it long?
The finger joints pressing on Xi Yun’s shoulder slowly applied pressure. Xi Yun bore all the force yet maintained his upright sitting posture, seeming completely unaware.
He tilted his head slightly back, and in his blindfolded state, accurately leaned toward the youth behind him.
“Perhaps it’s a bit rushed and not formal enough, but both Le Can and I tend to want to settle it as soon as possible.”
“If the weather is good tomorrow, that would probably be a nice day.”
Understanding the meaning in Xi Yun’s words, Le Can’s secretly urging hand suddenly lost all strength and dropped straight down.
[Wait, has Xi Yun been possessed? That’s not the answer I wanted!]
Falling halfway, a large hand with distinct joints seemed to anticipate the trajectory of the fall, opening its fingers just in time to catch it upwards.
Two hands successfully touched.
The slightly larger hand slowly tightened, holding the other light hand in its palm. Just like its owner’s current thought—completely binding the person before him to his side.
Xi Yun originally had no plans to marry, nor did he think he could find that person in this life. Marriage was optional to him.
But if necessary, marriage could also become a means, such as the powerful alliances common in wealthy families.
Tan Man’s words woke Xi Yun up.
To become allies in the eyes of others, there might not be any harm in having a nominal marriage between him and Le Can.
Since they already had the title of fiancés, they might as well find an opportunity to stoke this fire a bit higher.
This timing, preferably taking Weiyuanjing along, would earn another wave of outside attention…
The moment their palms overlapped, Le Can quickly broke free from the restraint, grabbing Xi Yun’s hand backhand and pulling it backward.
Using the leverage to approach the man in the wheelchair, the youth with a shy smile on his face gritted his teeth, whispering into the other’s ear word by word: “Xi, Yun.”
The short name carried full-blown anger.
The man with his face covered in white silk, dressed in black with black hair, inadvertently lowered his head slightly. The falling strands of hair and the chiseled profile obscured the youth’s jade-like face.
“Two million pocket money a month, for a term of two years.”
Why two years? Because two years was the duration of this marriage.
As for what Le Can was thinking?
The first thought that rose in his heart upon hearing this sentence wasn’t anger at being insulted, but subconscious calculation.
Two million a month; twenty-four months in two years is forty-eight million!
Xi Yun calmly raised the stakes: “Upon expiration of the two-year term, an additional house worth one hundred and fifty million.”
One hundred and fifty million plus forty-eight million; rounding up, that’s two hundred million!
Thinking for one second more would be disrespectful to two hundred million. Le Can abruptly switched to a sincere smile, cooperatively burying his face in the crook of Xi Yun’s neck.
“I agree. We’ll sign the contract when we get back.”
Two people who both felt they had profited tacitly held each other’s hand, hooking the corners of their mouths in satisfaction.
At the same time, Lu Fuming’s vigorous voice drifted into their ears as if on cue: “Ice Species Floating Blue Flower Jadeite versus Glass Species Imperial Green Jadeite. The latter wins.”
Eh? The result is out?
Le Can took a moment from his joy to look up, once again meeting the burning gazes that swiveled toward them in unison.
Surprise, disbelief, envy, jealousy… Only one person’s gaze carried monstrous anger and unwillingness.
Too lazy to stand up, Le Can simply tilted his head on Xi Yun’s shoulder, casually throwing a look over.
Mm, a shocked and angry, bedraggled little peacock whose gorgeous feathers had turned into a drowned chicken.
“On behalf of our Xi Yun, thank you to Young Master Gu of Gu Hui Jewelry for your support. But regarding changing partners, he isn’t considering it right now.”
In this situation, no one should even think about snatching away his two hundred million!
“When we hold the wedding, we will definitely visit in person to send a wedding invitation to Young Master Gu.”
Suddenly, the large hand holding Le Can took him to touch the warm and hard object on his lap.
The youth realized, “Oh right, there’s also that Blue Water Jadeite.”
“Since you insisted repeatedly before, I will reluctantly accept it with a smile~”
