C123 (1/2)
Lin Zi Chen originally wanted to hurry up and avoid the suspicion, but since Huang Yi had already spoken, he could only awkwardly stand on the spot.
Huang Yi put down her pair of beautiful legs and adjusted the collar of her clothes. She looked at Lin Zichen with a charming smile.
It had to be said that this was a woman's taste. Although Lan Luoshi's smile was even more cute and beautiful, and Zhou Xiaodong's smile was even more tender and beautiful, compared to Huang Yi's, it was nothing.
”Yi-jie, I thought you …”
Huang Yi stood up and walked in front of Lin Zichen, placing her hand on his shoulder. Immediately, the unique fragrance of a child wafted over. Lin Zichen felt his bones go soft.
Seeing how nervous Lin Zichen was, Huang Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing. ”No one dares to come in while I'm working overtime, so I'm dressed rather casually, but …” ”Who knew you were so bold!”
As she spoke, Huang Yi wrinkled her nose and smiled towards Lin Zichen, who couldn't help but take a deep breath to stabilize his mind.
Lin Zichen was definitely not a pervert who would fall for women whenever he saw them, but Huang Yi was definitely an exception. There was probably no man in the world who dared to say he was a lowly pervert in front of Huang Yi!
”Sister Yi, I'm here to ask Snow Mountain …”
”Snow Mountain Monkey Bone and Mother Earth Grass?” Huang Yi pouted, looking like a mischievous young girl, ”I knew it. You must have come to find me for these matters. I was worrying for you last night in vain. Don't you know anything other than medicinal herbs?”
”Worried about me last night?” It was obvious that Huang Yi was referring to last night's arranged battle. No matter what, it could be considered that she was serious. ”Sister Yi, did you also go to the Yan Ming River last night?”
This kind of expression was quite rare on Huang Yi. Normally, she would always have that trademark smile on her face, as if she was doing business with a smile on everyone's face. But now, it was different. That delicate face was calm and sincere.
Lin Zichen was embarrassed for a moment, not knowing what to say or do. He was stunned by what Huang Yi saw …
All of a sudden, Huang Yi threw herself into Lin Zichen's arms. Lin Zichen was caught off guard as he stood there stunned. Feeling Huang Yi's warmth and aura, he felt his heart in chaos.
”Lin Zi Chen, I'm really worried for you.”
Lin Zichen didn't know how to respond. Huang Yi's words made him feel overwhelmed; it wouldn't be wrong to use that word.
In the eyes of many men, Huang Yi was a natural beauty. Being able to obtain her beauty was simply a gift. Lin Zichen was also a man, so he naturally felt the same way.
However, it was also because of this that Lin Zichen had a type of defense in his heart, and that was that this kind of beauty was born to be a lover of the masses. Lin Zicheng had to restrain his emotions, and if he were to fall in love with Huang Yi, then he would be the same as Sang Tianlei, only waiting for Dai Lu …
”Sister Yi, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern.”
Lin Zichen's cold tone caused Huang Yi to feel a sense of loss in her heart. Only now did she realize that she had lost control of herself, and she slowly left Lin Zichen's embrace.
”Un, I... ”I know, I'm relieved to see you here.” Her experiences these past few years, although she seemed like a lover of the masses, it was all for the sake of living. Even so, she didn't let herself suffer any losses, but her open appearance held a moment of conservatism within. This kind of feeling was something only she knew about.
In these years, the thing she was most familiar with was to control her emotions and make money come first. No matter how outstanding a man was, she insisted on not being moved. So what if she didn't know anything just now, she completely lost control and released her emotions.
Perhaps this was retribution. Normally, she relied on the emotions of others to do business. When her emotions exploded, what awaited her was ice-cold words.
It was as if when Huang Yi left his embrace, he also had a faint feeling of loss. Perhaps this was the lowest of humanity, at the same time that he wanted to reject Huang Yi, he also wanted to possess her, so that word ”greedy” would appear …
Seeing the awkward look on Lin Zi Chen's face, Huang Yi smiled to ease the mood and said: ”Idiot, I was just teasing you. Look at you, you're really nervous …”
Although Huang Yi said this, her heart was unable to speak of the unhappiness she felt. Only she knew just how much her emotions had poured out. After so many years, this was the first time.
”Hehe, Sister Yi, let's get back to business. How about those two medicinal herbs? Is there any news of them?” Lin Zi Chen said.
”I already have the Snow Mountain Monkey Bone. In the hands of a drug scout named Feng San'er, he offered a price of twelve million. I think it's a bit unlucky, so I temporarily can't take the goods. I want to hear your opinion.” Huang Yi said.
Lin Zi Chen frowned as he thought about it, ”Twelve million?” I can accept it, but it seems to be a little expensive. ”
This was a type of skull that grew on a snowy mountain called the Three-Eyed King Monkey. This type of monkey had eye-shaped stripes on its forehead, similar to a third eye. That was why it was called the Three-Eyed King Monkey.
The Three-Eyed King was very cunning, and was hard to capture. It also had a strong intelligence, and if the captor was not careful, they could use the terrain to become familiar with it and reverse the situation. Some of them were even killed by the monkey.
Even so, a price of twelve million was still a sky-high price. It was only a mid-tier pill, Lin Zichen thought to himself. The price of eight million was still fair.
”Zi Chen, what do you think of the eight million?” Huang Yi said.
Lin Zi Chen smiled when he heard this, ”Yi'jie is indeed an expert. We think the same way: 8 million.”
Huang Yi nodded: ”That's indeed my plan. However, it seems like this Feng San'er fellow will definitely take care of me this time, even if he won't give up. This time, I've really run into a real profiteer.”
