Feng Xuan called out for someone while quickly retreating.
Yun Ran raised her head from Nangong Mo's shoulder and stopped him, "Did you just say, you got back the thousand taels?"
Feng Xuan paused in his steps and instinctively looked at Nangong Mo, unsure whether to stay or leave...
Nangong Mo didn't miss the sparkle in Yun Ran's eyes upon hearing about the thousand taels, her eyes twinkling like little stars. She had never looked at him so enthusiastically!
The man squinted his eyes slightly and nonchalantly released Yun Ran, "Since it's been retrieved, store it in the warehouse."
Just as Feng Xuan was about to leave, Yun Ran breezily floated over and grabbed the burlap sack from his hand.
She smiled brightly at Feng Xuan, "I'll handle this thousand taels myself! No need to trouble Commander Feng!"
"Princess, this..." Feng Xuan looked a bit troubled and sought help from Nangong Mo.
Yun Ran turned back too, but she didn't let go of the burlap sack, "Sir, this is mine, you're not going to take it, are you?"
The man's eyebrows raised gently, kindly reminding her, "It was me who helped retrieve it."
Yun Ran gritted her teeth and said boldly, "Alright, I'll give you ten percent!"
Yet, the man seemed unsatisfied, his eyes glimmered as he looked at her.
"You got this thousand taels because you married me. Without me, where would the opportunity come from?"
[This wicked heart, this is outright extortion!]
"Fine! You're ruthless! How about a twenty-eighty split?"
Looking at the slight arc of the man's mouth, Yun Ran really wanted to slap him.
[Forget it! I won't argue with a dog, anyway, all your silver will eventually be mine!]
"Okay, fifty-fifty split!"
Yun Ran gritted her teeth, painfully said, and quickly added.
"This is already my bottom line! No more challenging it!"
Nangong Mo pressed his lips, holding back laughter, and pretended to think seriously for a moment.
"Alright then, I'll respect your bottom line."
Feng Xuan poured out the gold from the sack and divided it into two portions.
Yun Ran quickly grabbed her portion and was ready to go to the garden to bury it.
But just as she stepped out, her wrist was caught.
Yun Ran's mind rang alarms, she looked at Nangong Mo with eyes like looking at a bandit, "What do you want now?"
Nangong Mo lazily raised his left hand and waved it in front of her.
Yun Ran looked puzzled, "What do you mean? Summoning spirits?"
What's this dead woman thinking?
Can't she see the bite mark she made?
Yun Ran was momentarily confused, then honestly nodded, "I bit you, so what?"
The man glanced sideways at her and spoke softly, "Five hundred taels."
[What did he say? Five hundred taels? What five hundred taels? Is it what I think it means?]
While Yun Ran was puzzled, the gold in her hand was already in Nangong Mo's.
After coming to her senses, Yun Ran looked at the man's face that captivated all and his playful, delighted smile, almost couldn't control the impulse to pounce on him and mess him up!
"One bite, five hundred taels, gold?"
"Why don't you just rob me?"
After speaking these two sentences, Yun Ran almost ground her teeth to powder.
Nangong Mo lazily leaned against the chair back, his posture composed and elegant.
"I am not a bandit, only taking what's deserved."
What's deserved? Can you earn five hundred taels of gold by getting bitten once?
Yun Ran steeled her heart and extended her hand to Nangong Mo.
"Then let me bite you, and you return my money."
