Chapter 104: Ren Zhixian Feeling Sour (2/2)

Shi Fenghua quickly returned a helpless look as he was unsure whether to laugh or feel embarrassed!

“Really, Brother-in-law, there’s no need to,” Shi Fenghua forced a smile. “I’m already used to how my study room looks. I think not changing it would be better, lest it be unfamiliar to me! Moreover, I’m often lodging in the academy and rarely ever come home during the year, so really, there isn’t any need to! Oh Brother-in-law ah, I do feel somewhat thirsty!”

That brought Ren Zhixian back to his senses, and he quickly invited them in to have a seat. With a loud yell, he called Cui Bao in to serve tea, “Oh, how could I’ve forgotten to invite you two in to have a seat! But you’re right, it’s better not to change it since you’re used to it already!”

A moment later, Cui Bao entered, wearing a pink coat embroidered with roses and a pink wavy dress. A brilliant luster of jade hung on her waist, held loosely together with a shackle. Her tied hair was long and hung by both sides of her face with a vermillion flower stuck beautifully. As for her face, it was powdered heavily and her brows were drawn. Her waist was slim and her body would sway as she moved, displaying an extraordinary lazy charm, almost like a beautiful and loving woman who woke up not too long ago.

“Come quickly and serve tea to the two young men!” Ren Zhixian smiled the moment his eyes landed on her. He was captivated by her, so his smile beamed like a blooming flower.

“Sir, please have some tea!” Casting a glance at Ren Zhixian, Cui Bao acknowledged petitely. Bending her back a little, she placed a tea tray down before her fingers with red painted fingernails. She then brought the tea cups to Shi Fenghua and Sang Yufei. Her fingers held onto the cup without putting them onto the table, as if waiting for the two young men to reach out their hands to receive it.

Who knew that Shi Fenghua and Sang Yufei would only exchange gazes with each other and sit motionlessly with no intention to move a finger.

Their eyes only contained their disgust for her. What a shallow! Just one look and she’s definitely not something good!

Cui Bao raised her brows gradually as she didn’t seem to find her own behavior strange. She really believed that everyone was like Ren Zhixian who praised her and kissed up to her!

“Sirs, have some tea!” But even so, Cui Bao wasn’t foolish. She did not feel awkward when the two young men had no intention to take a cup. Instead, she observed their attire and passed a cup of tea first to Shi Fenghua, who wore a grander attire than Sang Yufei.

“Put it here!” Shi Fenghua sulked without looking at her.

Cui Bao had never been given such treatment before. Feeling insulted, she nibbled on her lips lightly while glancing at Ren Zhixian surreptitiously.

Ren Zhixian was also feeling a little unhappy, but he did not express what was currently in his mind. Cui Bao is my underling. Treating her like that right in front of me, aren’t you just outright trying to embarrass me!

However, he smiled dryly before speaking to Cui Bao, “He is the Shi family’s youngest young master, Shi Fenghua. If he asked you to put it there, put it there. Be more alert!”

After hearing that this handsome young man who was dressed elegantly was a young master of Shi family, Cui Bao’s eyes immediately glistened. The little amount of grievance in her eyes disappeared almost instantly, and she quickly displayed a sheepish smile. She responded delicately before placing the tea cup down.

The third child of the Shi family’s Main House ah, to think he’d be this elegant, a dragon among men! Compared to Ren Zhixian… Cui Bao could not help let out a regretful sigh, like a flower on a dry tree bark.

At first, when the procuress said she would be bringing them to the famed Shi family in Qingzhou, the lot of them were overly thrilled. Believing that she could have a good life ahead of her when she was picked among the rest, she finally had a chance at tasting bliss for a good moment. Using every means possible, she was sure she would be able to stand on her own one day.

But who knew that on the first night, she had her deed done. That man was not someone actually born in the Shi family. Instead, he used his wife’s name to send the request!

That knocked Cui Bao back from blissfulness, and she cried silently to herself. The Shi household was the parental household of the man’s official wife. Regardless of how greatly she was doted on, she could never become an official wife. If she were to anger the Shi family, who knew when she might get resold!

Now that she had seen Shi Fenghua upfront, Cui Bao was frustrated and wanted to vomit blood at a single thought, Why wasn’t the one who made the purchase this young master instead ah!

Cui Bao was slightly frustrated at herself, and she paid less attention while serving tea to Sang Yufei. “Sir, please have some tea,” Sang Yufei gently breathed out the air he held in as Cui Bao flatly stated before placing the tea in front of Sang Yufei without him asking.

Ren Zhixian was secretly delighted at the sight. This Cui Bao was so sweet ah, she was able to read his intentions! Without him even saying anything, she was able to sense his dislike towards the Sang family’s lad and even served his tea thoughtlessly.

That burst of delight gradually seeped onto his face, and he scolded Cui Bao with a smile, “Cui Bao ah, don’t be rude. That is Young Master Sang, the brother of our Shi household’s Ma’am. He’s also this year’s top escorted examinee!”
