Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Pleasing the Elder Sister_1
Wei Yilin muttered, “Those events happened so long ago, and I was still young then.”
“It doesn’t seem that long ago. If you consider yourself aged at nine, then seven should not be considered young.”
“No, no, I was just a kid at nine, and I am still young now, so at seven, I was even younger. You, as an adult, should be magnanimous and not squabble with a kid like me!” Wei Yilin quickly changed his tune.
“Absolutely not, I am famously petty. I remember every slight, from grudges against the elderly to grievances with children, and once I remember, it sticks for a long time.” Wei Ruo replied.
“Then why don’t you hit me and release your anger?” Wei Yilin suggested.
“I don’t want to. Hitting people hurts my hand.”
“Then use a whip. It won’t hurt your hand when you whip someone.”
Wei Ruo barely suppressed a chuckle, “Are you truly not afraid of being beaten?”
“I’m a man… no, I should say a boy. I’m not afraid of being hit. Indeed, the more the merrier.”
“I’m impressed you can make such a statement.” Wei Ruo replied.
At this point, a shop assistant brought over an exquisite brocade box.
“Miss Wei, this is a gift for our members,” the assistant explained.
Wei Ruo opened the brocade box and saw an intricately made handkerchief, a small sample vial of perfume, and a packet of incense.
Wei Ruo looked at the items in the box for a long time without saying a word, so the shop assistant continued to speak, “Don’t worry, Miss Wei, even if you don’t buy anything today, these gifts are for you because you are our store’s esteemed member.”
“Mm, very good,” Wei Ruo closed the brocade box, and then asked the shop assistant about the products for sale in the store.
Starting with the skincare cream, Wei Ruo asked the shop assistant to describe each one in turn.
The shop assistant began to explain individually, according to their manual, covering ingredients, craftsmanship, effects, and usage methods from many different perspectives.
Wei Ruo nodded, “Then today, give me two of each, packaged into two gift sets.”
“Alright. Please wait a moment, and I will pack them for you right away.”
The shop assistant was quick and efficient, and in no time had packaged two sets of gifts according to Wei Ruo’s instructions. Each gift set contained a skincare cream, whitening cream, Peach Blossom Rouge, and a bottle of Bluebell perfume.
“Miss Wei, the skincare cream is one tael of silver per box, the whitening cream is two taels of silver per box, the Peach Blossom Rouge is five hundred coins per box, and the Bluebell perfume is one tael of silver per bottle. A set is four and a half taels of silver, so two sets would total nine taels of silver. Because you are a supreme member, you can enjoy a discount, so you only need to pay six taels of silver plus three hundred coins.”
Hearing this, Wei Yilin hurriedly took out the ten taels of silver he had prepared, “I’ll pay!”
The shop assistant did not reach out to take it, instead looking at Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo said, “Put it on my account.”
“Alright, Miss Wei.”
Wei Yilin’s hand, which he had extended, had become frozen in place. Looking at Wei Ruo, he said, “Didn’t we agree that I would buy your makeup?”
“You said that, but I didn’t agree.”
“How did you not agree? You even asked me what I planned to buy for you. When I said rouge and face powder, you asked me how I knew about these things. You asked me how I knew this store was good, how I knew about skincare cream.”
“Yes, I asked you, but I didn’t say I wanted you to buy them for me.”
“You’re playing dirty!”
“Is that so? Well, then call it playing dirty,” Wei Ruo said with a mischievous smile.
“How could you…” Wei Yilin’s face turned sour.
