Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 714 - 713 Wufu Gets Angry

Ah Jiu had encountered many women, but he had never met anyone as forthright and straightforward as Wufu.

Do you like me?

Could a girl ask such a thing? How could she be so bold?

Ah Jiu spouted a mouthful of tea, breaking into a coughing fit, his earlobes and cheeks flushing red.

"You, what are you talking about!" He was somewhat flustered, avoiding Wufu’s intense gaze.

Wufu was a bit puzzled, "Don’t you like me? But all that you have done, isn’t it to please me? If you don’t like me, then why do all of this?"

Ah Jiu’s face grew even hotter, coughing again and shifting the topic: "What brings you here? Right, the Ghost Doctor has also returned. Weren’t you looking for him? You could ask him to accompany you later."

"Really? Where is he now?" Wufu’s eyes lit up, clearly distracted by the change in topic, and said, "I need his help to treat someone. It’s good that he’s back. If you don’t need him for the time being, allow him to stay with me for a few days."

"Hmm."

Wufu was delighted and, recalling the purpose of her visit, pushed a long, narrow box on the table toward him.

"What’s this?"

Ah Jiu picked it up by chance, opened it, and paused for a moment.

Inside the box lay a Peach Blossom Hairpin, its glistening jade quietly resting on a piece of Snow Brocade. Even in daylight, its luster and stunning beauty were unmistakable.

"The hairpin you asked for, I’ve brought it to you!" Wufu said with a curved lip.

Ah Jiu carefully picked up the hairpin, which was designed in the shape of a sword. The top of the hairpin featured three peach blossoms in full bloom, supported by two leaves, masterfully capturing the floating blossoms of Peach Blossom Spring—vivid and lifelike in such a small cluster.

"It’s really beautiful," Ah Jiu praised.

Wufu looked at the Peach Blossom Hairpin and said, "I don’t know who you’re giving it to, and I don’t know if this design will suit their taste or not?"

"Did you carve it according to your own intentions?" Ah Jiu asked.

Wufu nodded, "Since it is my work, of course I infused it with my craft and intentions. So..." She shrugged, as if to say that was that.

Laughter filled Ah Jiu’s eyes as he said, "I think she will like it."

Wufu glanced at him, responding indifferently, "Then that’s good."

As she spoke, she sipped her tea, feeling a certain discomfort in her heart that made her restless.

He was going to give this hairpin to someone—probably a young girl. Such youthful colors and floral designs, with a specific request for a hairpin.

Hmph!

"I’m not going to give you the remaining Peach Blossom Spring jade. I will design a different set of jewelry," Wufu shook off her restlessness and spoke of the remaining jade.

Ah Jiu carefully placed the hairpin back in the box and smiled, "Since it’s given to you, naturally it’s your decision. I just don’t know what Wufu wants to design next. Another hairpin?"

Wufu gave the closed box a glance and huffed, "Of course it won’t be another Peach Blossom Hairpin. This hairpin’s blossoms are already rare. Designing an identical one would be difficult, since the textures and everything would differ."

Ah Jiu listened and then, with a smile in his eyes, said, "In that case, this becomes a one-of-a-kind Peach Blossom Hairpin!"

Seeing his joy, Wufu grew even more irritated, even a bit angry, and stood up, saying, "I’m leaving." Without waiting for Ah Jiu to reply, she had already walked out of the pavilion, adding, "And I’m taking Bai Xiaobai with me!"

Ah Jiu was stunned, watching her wave goodbye without looking back. He blinked. Was she angry just now?
