Chapter 570: Don’t Seduce Me 1 (2/2)

He Sanlang noticed that his body was reacting to her actions, but knowing that she was likely too tired from what had happened last night, he endured it. He lightly pecked the side of her lips and said, “Don’t seduce me.”

Chu Lian was feeling very wronged. She hadn’t even done anything at all! How was that considered an attempt at seducing him?

She glared at him with her wide, watery eyes, but He Changdi covered them with his wide palm. He pressed his lips together, gritted his teeth, and said, “I just told you not to seduce me! Stop, or I’ll do you right here and now.”

Chu Lian: ……

He Changdi reverted back to the relaxed position he was in against the bed. He took out an envelope from his sleeves and handed it to his wife.

Chu Lian sat up, crossed her legs, and leaned against him. With a confused look, she stared at the envelope, “A letter? Who is it from?”

She was only wearing a thin brown robe. Although the room was heated and it wasn’t cold, He Sanlang was still worried that she would feel chilly, so he pulled up the blanket to cover her legs, “It isn’t a letter, open it up and see.”

Chu Lian received the envelope with suspicion and opened it. There were two booklets inside. When she took them out, she could feel that they were made of high-quality paper. Once she flipped them open, she realised that they were deeds.

The deeds were for a storefront situated in an excellent location on Zhuque Avenue. The two deeds were for the shophouse in the front and the courtyard right behind it.

Chu Lian’s eyes went wide with astonishment and she exclaimed, “Where did you get such a good storefront?”

All the good locations on Zhuque Street were already owned by someone high-ranking in the capital. It was no simple task to obtain such a good storefront, as it was something that money couldn’t buy.

Even if these were obtainable through wealth alone, the value of these two deeds added together would at least be five thousand taels…

That was going by a conservative estimate.

Even House Jing’an hadn’t owned any storefronts on Zhuque Street at its prime. They had held one or two shops on a side street nearby at the most.
