Even so, after he entered, he immediately made a call to Blue Mountain Villa.
In that phone call, he didn’t bother to discuss and simply told the person on the other line, "Remember, if you want me to come back for the New Year, don’t let me see the Bai Family at the villa!"
The person on the line was momentarily stunned, "Why?"
Feeling annoyed, I just don’t want to see them, is that not allowed?
He hung up the phone, not wanting to provide any explanation, and then he headed to the bedroom over there.
Surprised, Sister Wang who was standing at the kitchen door was utterly shocked...
The Third Young Master is indeed the Third Young Master, that aura, truly domineering!
So the original worries she had, were gone, and she cheerfully went on to cook.
Meanwhile, Ou Mucen, after entering the bedroom, saw the girl lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
Indeed, after being out and about for such a long time, the woman lying on that spacious bed was like a cat, sleeping so deeply that she was oblivious to his arrival.
Seeing her, he tiptoed over, tucked her in properly, and then sat at the edge of the bed, flipping through the spoils of her recent trip to the flower market.
The items weren’t really valuable: some flowers, small porcelain items, and such, a dazzling array all over the floor, much like Xiaobao’s collection of model fighter jets sprawled in the same manner.
Ou Mucen couldn’t help but smile wryly, he of course knew that in her eyes, the word "valuable" meant nothing to her at all. The things she bought were probably just for her happiness, her curiosity, her child-like mood.
"Young Master, she also bought something for you, did you see it? It’s that string of Buddha Beads, she bought them especially for you."
While he was absorbed, Sister Wang passed by the door and saw him looking at the array of spoils, so she stood at the doorway and teased him with her remark.
Ou Mucen, hearing this, sifted through the clutter to pick up the string of beads of unknown material, "You mean this?"
Sister Wang laughed, "Yes, they’re supposed to be Buddha Beads, can bring safety and protection. The Madam really liked them after hearing that. Oh, and she even bargained for them! The vendor initially asked for 50 bucks, and she haggled it down to 49..."
Sister Wang couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the doorway when she remembered this...
Well it was to be expected, a discerning person would know instantly that those were just for deceiving people, but as per the Young Master’s instructions, she was to buy whatever the missus wanted.
And what happened? The young lady took a fancy to those beads, and after seeing others haggle, she haggled too—from 50 down to 49, a huge saving indeed...
Ou Mucen, sitting there and hearing all this, twitched the corners of his eyes sharply. He felt the rough texture of the beads in his hand, which were hardly presentable, but after looking at them for a while, he tucked them away into the dresser in the bedroom.
After all, wasn’t it the first gift his wife had bought for him?
After putting things away, outside, Ying Hao came back with Ou Xiaobao. As soon as they entered, the child saw the little goldfish bought for him on the dining table and was extremely happy, hugging the fishbowl and refusing to let go.
Ou Mucen saw this and went to his desk to continue with the work he hadn’t finished yet.
Recently, due to year-end, he had become particularly busy with end-of-year settlements for various projects, as well as the annual fiscal review of the company’s stock market accounts. In short, it was the busiest time of the year.
