Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Ecstasy Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Ecstasy “Really?” Erlaizi was ecstatic.
“Yeah.” Lady Li’s voice was listless, her heart clearly unwilling, yet she was frustrated to no end because someone had a hold on her, all because she had been greedy for small gains and had now completely trapped herself.
In the darkness, Erlaizi followed Lady Li’s voice, groping his way to in front of her.
“What are you doing? Master Zha will find out, and he definitely won’t let you off the hook!” Lady Li was reluctant.
Erlaizi: “If you don’t tell and I don’t tell, how would he know?”
“You…you’re just a scoundrel.”
“Being a scoundrel is fine, as long as you know I care about you.”
“Who wants your care?” Lady Li was fuming.
“Alright, if you don’t want care, you don’t want it. Don’t be angry now.”
“You even care if I’m angry?”
“Then why are you chasing after me?”
“Aren’t we just caught in a misunderstanding? Misunderstandings need to be resolved, don’t they?”
“Misunderstanding my ass, don’t treat me like a fool.” Erlaizi actually had the nerve to say that chasing her was a misunderstanding, truly thinking he could fool her.
Erlaizi chuckled: “Heh heh…”
Lady Li: “What’s so funny? It’s disgusting.”
Erlaizi: “Don’t be angry! Come to my house, I still have half a pound of candy I haven’t given you yet,” Erlaizi said.
Speaking of the half pound of candy, Lady Li was furious, having trapped herself over such worthless candy.
“Who cares about your rotten candy.” Lady Li’s voice was filled with spite, wishing she could turn back time and never have been there.
“Right, right, you don’t care, you don’t care. I’ll get you some jewelry another day. What do you want? I will figure out a way to get it for you, okay?”
“Really, I’m not lying to you. Once I make some money, I can even get you a few gold hairpins.”
Although Lady Li knew that the possibility of him giving her a gold hairpin was slim, it’s just how people are, knowing it’s unlikely but still persuading themselves internally.
Erlaizi and Lady Li, one after the other, walked out of the bamboo forest toward his house.
Half a Cup of Tea’s time later.
Lady Li stood up, ready to leave: “No, it’s getting late, I need to go home.”
Erlaizi, reluctant to let her go, said, “Stay a bit longer.”
Lady Li: “No, just to be safe, I’d better head back early.”
Erlaizi: “Sister, stay with me a bit longer. I’m an old bachelor, living in this shabby house, quite lonely.”
Lady Li was irritated all day: “Not my problem, just get lost.”
What a night–set out to steal a chicken and ended up losing rice instead. She had actually been tricked by Erlaizi. Lady Li hurriedly walked toward the door.
“Sister, wait a minute,” came Erlaizi’s voice from behind.
Lady Li turned around and asked fiercely.
With his dirty hand, Erlaizi picked up a half bag of candy from a broken table beside the bed and extended it to Lady Li: “Sister, these are for you, take them and eat.”
Without mentioning the bag of candy, all was well, but once brought up, Lady Li was furious and glared at him, scolding: “You’re so sneaky, actually tricking me with a bag of rotten candy?”
“Sister, don’t say that, I’m giving them to you now, right? Quickly take them and eat.”
“Who wants your rotten candy.” After speaking, Lady Li didn’t take the candy and walked away, her face full of anger.
As she left, Lady Li slammed the door hard on purpose.
