127 Smiley
As soon as she said that, Yu Niaoniao regretted it.
She actually dared to compare Duke Lang to someone from the brothel. Duke Lang would definitely be angry.
As expected, the next moment she saw the man frown and look displeased.
Yu Niaoniao had already made up her mind to wheedle and act cute. She wanted to bluff her way through.
Immediately after, she heard the man ask coldly.
“How would you know the price of the hottest host in the city?”
Yu Niaoniao choked.
This was not the reaction she had expected!
She couldn’t think straight. She stuttered when she spoke.
“I-I heard someone talking nonsense.”
Xiao Juan’s brows did not relax as he continued to ask, “Who told you about these messy things?”
Yu Niaoniao quickly went through the names of the people she knew in her heart, trying to find someone to blame, but no one met the requirements.
In the end, she could only make up something.
“I forgot!”
Xiao Juan looked at her steadily. “Don’t you have a photographic memory?”
Yu Niaoniao was speechless.
Oh no! She had forgotten about this!
Since she had failed to lie, she decided to act like a rascal and be thickskinned about it.
“I don’t care. I just don’t remember.”
After saying that, she even put on a “believe it or not” posture.
She thought the man would be unhappy.
She was prepared to deal with his dirty looks, but the man suddenly smiled at her.
Although this man was taciturn and unreasonable, his face was indeed peerlessly handsome. When he was usually cold, he was as unattainable as a flower on a high mountain.
At this moment, he suddenly smiled. The flower on the mountain immediately became a snow lotus under the sun, shining with unparalleled beauty.
Yu Niaoniao was stunned.
This was too cool!
Immediately after, she thought that this was her fiancé. In the future, she would be able to see such beauty every time she woke up. Her heart could not help but thump.
She could do it with such a handsome husband! She definitely could!
However, in the next moment, she saw the man stop smiling and return to his expressionless face.
Before Yu Niaoniao could be disappointed, she saw Xiao Juan extend his well-defined right hand towards her.
“A hundred taels. Thank you for your patronage.”
Yu Niaoniao was confused and dumbfounded.
What beauty? What husband?
All of them turned to ashes at this moment.
At this moment, the only words in her mind were…
One! Hundred! Taels!
Yu Niaoniao jumped up and shouted, “I didn’t agree. You’re forcing me! This deal doesn’t count!”
Xiao Juan said slowly, “I’ve already informed you of the price in advance, which means that you know the price. Under this premise, if you see my smile, it means that you’ve already accepted this deal. There’s no such thing as a forced sale.”
Yu Niaoniao retorted, “You insisted on smiling!”
Xiao Juan said, “Then you can close your eyes and not look.”
Yu Niaoniao choked again.
Xiao Juan said coldly, “You can only blame yourself for being lustful.”
Yu Niaoniao was powerless to argue.
She had indeed been blinded by beauty just now and had completely forgotten that she had to pay for this smile.
Yu Niaoniao wanted to deny it, but on second thought, this was the Justice Department. If she dared to act shamelessly here, wouldn’t she be stirring up trouble?
In the end, she could only grit her teeth and admit defeat.
She took out the stack of banknotes.
Poor banknotes. She had to return them before they were warmed up.
She took out two silver notes worth 50 taels and placed them in the man’s palm.
He would not lose!
She endured the pain and forced a smile.
“A hundred taels to buy a smile from Duke Lang. It’s worth it!”
Hearing this, not only was Xiao Juan not angry, he even smiled at the other party.
“Two hundred taels.”
Yu Niaoniao was speechless.
