Chapter 383: Quick Eyes and Quick Hands
"Second sister, please accept it. This is a token of my love." Li Huawen still insisted on his own idea.
Si Chengxu hid behind the bushes at the corner, and the pitch-black night completely obscured his figure.
He heard the conversation between the two clearly. He didn't expect Gu Feiyan to be so despicable as to use Hua Wen to send something to Li Xiaoxiao.
"I said, no, you keep the things yourself and let's go eat together." Li Xiaoxiao still refused and took Li Huawen's hand and walked towards the restaurant.
Si Chengxu, who was hiding in the dark, breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Li Xiaoxiao confiscated it, which also proved that Si Er's guess was correct.
If he really liked Gu Feiyan, would Gu Feiyan still need to use someone else to send things to her? His face, which had been gloomy for several days, finally eased at this moment.
As long as Xiaoxiao doesn't like Gu Feiyan, it's fine. It looks like he will also find a suitable dagger for Li Xiaoxiao, and it must be better than Gu Feiyan's.
I gave her a hairpin before, and Li Xiaoxiao accepted it. I wonder if she can accept it this time?
After arriving in the capital, Li Xiaoxiao still maintained the good habit of getting up early every day.
After knowing Si Chengxu's thoughts, Li Xiaoxiao always felt a little awkward. She didn't know how she felt about Si Chengxu. As long as she thought that there might be several women giving birth to children for Si Chengxu at the same time, she couldn't accept it.
Since you can't accept it, just let it go and pretend you know nothing.
Li Xiaoxiao got up at dawn and ran into Si Chengxu as soon as she went out. Although she wanted to pretend that she didn't know that he liked her, she didn't dare to look directly into his dark eyes.
I greeted him with a little embarrassment: "Cousin, is everything okay in the military camp today?"
"Well, take a day off." Si Chengxu glanced at her casually. There was a small dagger hidden in his wide sleeves. He hesitated whether to take it out, but he hadn't thought it through yet.
Li Xiaoxiao spoke again: "Okay, I'll go run."
After saying that, the man left, leaving Si Chengxu standing there in a daze, secretly annoyed at why he hesitated and missed this opportunity.
By noon, Li Xiaoxiao was busy in the restaurant when Si Chengxu came again.
Now, the Rouge Shop has not been affected at all after the incident involving Qiao Yueru. Instead, it has been promoted for her in disguise, and the business is booming.
Because they are all ready-made things and have direct suppliers, Li Xiaoxiao does not need to stay there all the time. Basically, he goes there every two or three days to check the accounts.
There is a special reception room on the second floor. Si Chengxu goes there every time he comes. After lunch, Li Xiaoxiao doesn't want to go up there.
But I still have to go. Si Chengxu is one of the shareholders. He has come here with great difficulty. It would be awkward to leave him there.
After hesitating for a while, Li Xiaoxiao decided to go upstairs, and saw Si Chengxu playing chess. He was holding two chess pieces, and his expression was so focused and serious that he didn't even notice Li Xiaoxiao came in.
"My cousin is such a refined person." Li Xiaoxiao watched for a while before speaking softly.
"Well, I have nothing to do and I haven't moved the chess pieces for a long time. Do you want to play a game?" Si Chengxu stared at the chess pieces and said casually.
"Okay, it's rare that my cousin is free today, so I'll play a game with you." Li Xiaoxiao was not the shy person, so she sat down opposite Si Chengxu.
The dagger had not been delivered in the morning, and Si Chengxu didn't dare to delay any longer. He took out the dagger from his arms and placed it in front of Li Xiaoxiao.
This dagger is made of pure gold and is slender overall. You can tell at first glance that it is used by a woman. Both sides of the dagger are inlaid with yellow sapphires of the same color as gold.
The texture is simple and it looks like an old item. Li Xiaoxiao doesn't understand anything about it, but she likes it inexplicably, even more than the one Li Huawen wanted to give her yesterday.
However, even though she liked it, she still couldn't accept it.
The joy in his eyes flashed, and Li Xiaoxiao smiled to hide the joy: "Cousin, where did you get this treasure?"
"I got it by chance. I thought it was suitable for women. You also know that there are no women in my house, so I gave it to you to play with." Si Chengxu said it calmly, but he was a little nervous in his heart.
The window paper was not broken, so he was not sure what Li Xiaoxiao was thinking. In fact, he did not dare to say it directly for fear of scaring her.
"This looks like an antique, a priceless thing. My cousin, if you ask me to give it to you, then I'll give it to you." Li Xiaoxiao didn't look at the dagger on the table again. She was afraid that she couldn't contain her joy, so she agreed to accept it.
"It's better to give it to you than to let it gather dust in the warehouse. You are my cousin and grandma loves you so much. If not you, who else can I give it to?" Si Chengxu deliberately mentioned their relationship, wanting to let her know that he was not giving it to her for any other reason.
Even though Si Chengxu said this, Li Xiaoxiao still didn't plan to accept it. As the saying goes, one should be grateful to those who have eaten from him, and one should be grateful to those who have received from him. She didn't want to owe Si Chengxu any more favors.
"I really don't want it. Please take it back." Li Xiaoxiao still insisted. No matter what he said, she just didn't want it.
"I never take back anything I give away. Since you don't want it, just throw it away." Si Chengxu's voice was slightly cold. He stretched out his slender fingers, grabbed the dagger and was about to throw it into the lake outside the window.
Seeing that he was serious, Li Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed his arm to stop him from taking the next step.
Fortunately, there was only a desk between the two of them, so he stopped him in time and took the dagger into his own hands.
"This is a dagger made of pure gold, cousin. I know you are rich, but you don't have to waste it like this. Do you know how much silver it can be sold for?" Li Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, speechless.
As expected, the young nobles of the capital city have different ideas from ordinary people and are very willful.
If their family had such a treasure when they divided up, would they have fallen to the point of living in a straw hut? Si Chengxu's behavior was simply a waste of God's gift.
"If you don't want it, you'll naturally throw it away. Why keep it?" Si Chengxu said it as a matter of course, not feeling that he had done anything wrong.
"Okay, I give in to you. Since you want to throw it away, then this one will be considered as something I picked up." If she picked up the dagger, then it would be natural for her to use it without any psychological burden.
"It's up to you." Si Chengxu curled the corners of his mouth slightly. As long as Li Xiaoxiao accepted it, it didn't matter whether she picked it up or it was given by him.
