Zi Cheng looked at the man in front of him with disdain.

Zi Cheng had seen many people bully and take advantage of other people in the second prince’s name.

Now, he actually dared to lie to them. He was too foolhardy!

The three of them sat down one after another in the shop.

After the woman made tea for Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng, she went straight to the point and said, “I’m going to get married to someone far away, so I’m in a hurry to sell the shop! But I know how much this shop is worth. Please be sincere and state a suitable price to prevent us from delaying each other’s time!”

When Li Xiaoran heard the woman’s words, she was fond of her frank personality.

“Since you’ve said so, the two of us might as well be frank too! I wonder how we should address you?”

When the woman heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she said, “My name is Jin Shuxian.

You can call me Miss Jin!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and thought about it for a moment before saying, “Miss Jin, since you know how valuable this shop is, why don’t you tell us the price you want? If the price is suitable, we’ll buy it! As you said, if we’re frank to each other, we won’t waste each other’s time!”

When Jin Shuxian heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she raised her eyebrows.

“How straightforward. I wanna sell these four shops together for 3,000 taels of silver!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was a little surprised, but she didn’t show it on her face.

She was only surprised for a moment. After all, in the capital, where land was expensive, four shops were considered quite valuable.

Moreover, this street was a busy street to begin with. There was a lot of traffic, so buying four shops at this price was very cost-effective.

Li Xiaoran felt that they should buy it, but Luo Cheng didn’t speak.

Therefore, Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng to hear his opinion.

Sensing his wife’s gaze, Luo Cheng said, “Your price is too high! This street looks lively now, but in two months, it might not be as lively as it is now! After all, your street relies on a large transport station not far away to ensure customers. But in two months, this transportation ground will be moved outside the capital. At that time, the value of the shops here will plummet!” When Jin Shuxian heard Luo Cheng’s words, her expression changed.

Because Luo Cheng was right. She had also received this news, so she used the excuse that she was going to marry far away to sell these shops.

Unexpectedly, although so many people had come to ask, only the two people in front of her had seen through her scheme at a glance.

Li Xiaoran could sense Jin Shuxian’s emotions, so she looked at her man with admiration.

As expected of her husband! He looked so handsome and charming even when he was negotiating business!

“I don’t think the two of you are here to cause trouble. Since you know about this, why are you still here to discuss business?!” Jin Shuxian asked with an ugly expression.

“I know, but it doesn’t mean I don’t want to buy them. I just don’t want to be treated as a fool! Your four shops cost 1,500 taels of silver. If you’re willing to sell them at that price, we can get the money now!” Luo Cheng said confidently.

When she heard the price Luo Cheng offered, Jin Shuxian’s expression improved.

This price was indeed too little compared to now.

However, after the living supplies were moved away, business here would plummet.

Therefore, 1,500 taels of silver was already a very good price!

“It seems that you need time to consider it. Li Xiaoran, let’s go!” Luo Cheng could tell that Jin Shuxian was indignant, so he simply suggested leaving.

Li Xiaoran nodded and followed Luo Cheng out of the shop.

From the beginning to the end, Jin Shuxian didn’t stop the two of them, After leaving this shop, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran looked at the other shops on the street.

Li Xiaoran was still thinking about what Luo Cheng had said previously and suddenly asked, “Husband, why did you choose this street?”

Luo Cheng laughed when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.

“The capital is so big. Even if there are no shops here, there are other places.

Why are you so sure that I’ll buy a shop on this street?”

“It’s my intuition! Although you hid your emotions very well, I can still feel that you like the shops on this street! If what you said previously is true, why do you insist on buying them now? If we wait two months to buy them, not only will it cost a lot less money, but we will also be able to choose from many shops!” Li Xiaoran replied.

Luo Cheng smiled but remained silent.

When Li Xiaoran saw Luo Cheng’s reaction, she felt that there must be something she didn’t know.

Since her man wouldn’t say it, she wouldn’t ask. She would eventually find out anyway.

Next, the two of them looked at three more shops.

However, these three shops were not adjacent.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea for them to run some small business there.

But these shops were too small for them to start a wine shop.

Even when the sun set, the two of them didn’t find a suitable shop.

“Let’s go! We can go to the night market now. There are many delicious things there!” Luo Cheng thought of something and said with a smile.

Li Xiaoran was very hungry, so when she heard that there was food, she immediately perked up.

When Li Xiaoran appeared at the night market and saw the lively scene in front of her, she immediately thought of the modern era’s food streets.

That’s right. It felt exactly the same.

With all kinds of food, the air was filled with all kinds of aromas.

The shouts, the voices, and the sizzling sound of food being cooked instantly brought vitality to the street.

Luo Cheng took the initiative to hold Xiaoran’s hand as he reminded her.

“There are many people here, so I’m gonna hold your hand to avoid getting lost! Remember, no matter what you do, you can’t let go of my hand!” Li Xiaoran nodded. At this moment, she was already mesmerized by the various snacks and delicacies here!

Seeing that Li Xiaoran was really craving it, Luo Cheng didn’t say anything else and led her in.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran was like a rat that had entered a rice warehouse. She wanted to buy and try everything there.

If she encountered something tasty, Li Xiaoran would eat more. If she encountered something that wasn’t tasty, Li Xiaoran would eat less. The rest would go into Luo Cheng’s stomach.

Luo Cheng didn’t despise Li Xiaoran’s leftovers at all. No matter what food it was, as long as it was handed to him by Li Xiaoran, he would accept it.

They walked and stopped as they ate. Before they were halfway through the market, Li Xiaoran was already a little full.

Just as Li Xiaoran planned to stop, a strong emotion suddenly erupted and Li Xiaoran immediately sensed it..
