Chapter 1290: The Mermaid in the Mansion
Wenren Xinqing turned the wheelchair and walked quickly in front.
Her servants followed behind her carrying large and small bags, almost unable to keep up with her pace.
Walking around the long corridor connecting the front and back yards, one could see Wen Ren Ding sitting by the water from afar, facing each other with a peerless beauty whose head was only sticking out of the water.
After all these years, it was the first time that Wenren Xinqing saw Wenren Ding relax his brows, not to mention that he could actually smile so happily.
She did not move forward rashly, but stopped her wheelchair in the corridor and watched from afar, feeling sad.
A servant from the mansion passed by and bowed his head respectfully when he saw this and asked, "Miss, what are you doing..."
"I'm afraid of disturbing them." Wenren Xinqing said sourly.
The sound of the conversation was neither loud nor soft, loud enough for Wen Rending and Shi Li to hear.
Shi Li looked at Wenren Xinqing, blinked slowly, felt a little shy, and subconsciously sank into the water.
Since they had been discovered, Wenren Xinqing came over with her servants.
"What are you doing?" Wen Ren Ding frowned again and spoke impatiently.
Wenren Xinqing smiled and gave the servant a look.
The servant immediately stepped forward and put down the large and small bags that he had just purchased outside.
"I just went out shopping and bought some gifts for... this girl. I brought them here to see if you like them."
She heard about Wen Rending's previous jewelry purchases. The gifts he bought were all jewelry suitable for young girls. They were not only expensive, but also exquisite. Her taste was much better than that of straight men.
At Wenren Xinqing's silent suggestion, the servants opened several boxes and displayed the jewels inside, which were almost blinding in the sunlight.
Shi Li naturally couldn't resist such temptation. She swam silently to the water's edge and gave Wenren Xinqing a friendly smile.
I originally thought that Wen Ren Ding and this sister should have a bad relationship, but looking at the situation now, it seems that is not the case.
At a closer distance, Wenren Xinqing could see Shi Li's appearance more clearly.
The pure and flawless face, innocent and naive, is like a flower blooming on a glacier, breathtakingly beautiful.
At this moment, he suddenly understood how Wen Ren Ding could succeed, and subconsciously looked at him.
Then, she picked up the colorful bracelet in the box and leaned closer to Shi Li.
Shi Li understood her meaning from her actions, and stretched out her delicate hand with a smile.
The colorful gem bracelet on her wrist makes her look more beautiful.
"It would be a waste to keep these things in a jewelry store. They will only be valuable if you wear them on yourself!" Wenren Xinqing was very satisfied and went to get a necklace and earrings from another box.
When his hand was halfway extended, it was suddenly blocked by Wenren Ding.
I looked up in confusion, and met his unhappy face.
"It's nothing. It's time for you to leave." Wen Ren Ding chased him away without mercy.
Wenren Xinqing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that something was wrong.
She came here to give gifts, obviously to ease the relationship with Wen Ren Ding, but why was she attracted to the mermaid instead?
but……
Wenren Xinqing glanced at Shi Li again and her mind immediately changed.
Mermaids are so pretty and cute!
"Girl, what's your name?" She no longer cared about how impatient Wen Ren Ding's attitude was, and went to talk to the mermaid again.
"Shi Li." Shi Li answered obediently, and then watched Wen Ren Ding turn Wen Ren Xinqing's wheelchair around and let the servant push her away.
Uh...if I understand correctly, you are jealous?
Shi Li tilted her head and watched Wenren Xinqing leave passively. She looked back at her reluctantly as she walked away, and her lips seemed to be saying "I'll find time to come see you again."
Touching the jewel bracelet on his wrist, Shi Li nodded silently in his heart.
When she looked away, she found that Wen Ren Ding was also looking at her wrist.
Are you going to take it back?
Shi Li subconsciously covered her jewel bracelet.
The things have already been given to her, I can’t take them back!
Who knew that Wen Ren Ding ignored her, slowly leaned down, and stretched out his hand...
Finally, he just pressed lightly on the top of her head.
"If you like these, wear them." He said, his tone surprisingly tolerant, completely different from when he faced Wenren Xinqing just now.
Seeing that this "lawsuit" was almost over, the servant who had been waiting for a long time came up and reported the matter to Wen Ren Ding.
He had just been in charge of delivering Curry's White Jade Guanyin to the Qiu family, and heard the news that Qiu Liang's mother was ill and bedridden.
The Wen family has many cooperative businesses with the Qiu family here. It is reasonable for Wen Rending to go to the Qiu Mansion to visit Mrs. Qiu in person.
After listening to the servant's report, Wen Rending glanced at Shi Li, who had also heard it nearby.
"Are you going?" he asked directly.
Shi Li thought about Qiu Liang, shook his head decisively, flicked his tail and swam back to the center of the water.
She is also someone who is thinking about the mermaid pearl, so she won’t go.
