The Supreme Wild Young Master-Chapter 29_1
Chapter 29: Chapter 29_1
Zhang Xian couldn’t help but feel annoyed looking at the excited Mu Cheng. How could a woman who appeared so mature on the outside be so naive on the inside?
However, he didn’t deny that his methods were somewhat surprising and might not readily be accepted by others. Furthermore, they were better kept secret. Magic, perhaps, made for a reasonable cover.
He chuckled and said, "Well, Elder Sister Cheng, shall we start discussing our business?"
"No, do magic first." Mu Cheng shook her head.
"Yes, perform your magic first..." Zhu Qing spoke out without thinking, but quickly shifted course when she realized something was wrong. "If you want to talk business, you have to satisfy me first."
"Elder Sister Cheng, there are no props here, how do you expect me to perform magic?" Zhang Xian asked with a bitter smile.
"You didn’t use any props earlier either! How did you manage to burn Ge DaBao’s hair?" Mu Cheng didn’t believe him. "If you don’t perform magic today, I’m not interested in discussing any business with you."
Left with no choice, Zhang Xian picked up a disposable paper cup in front of Mu Cheng and without making any discernible motion, the cup suddenly caught fire.
"Ah..." Mu Cheng, who was sitting right next to Zhang Xian, was quite startled.
Zhu Qing was also surprised. This man’s acts of magic seemed incredible! With such skills, could he burn anyone in the future without any warning?
Also, Zhang Xian seemed quite adept at pulling people’s trousers down and slapping them without them realizing. An unaware person might think they’ve seen a ghost in broad daylight and end up scared out of their wits.
"Elder Sister Cheng, is it good now?" Zhang Xian laughed.
"Err, this is the same as before, there’s nothing new!" Mu Cheng was not yet satisfied.
"Elder Sister Cheng, it’s not that I don’t want to perform, but there are no props here and I didn’t prepare anything. I can’t just do magic whenever I want." Zhang Xian lied.
"Alright! I’ll let you off the hook today, but next time, you must show me something new and different. Burning hair and cups are not novel anymore." Mu Cheng generously smiled and said, "Now, tell me about the business you want to discuss. Just to make it clear in advance, I only deal in medicinal herbs and strictly within this business. Don’t involve me in other businesses."
"No, it won’t work." Zhu Qing said: "Cousin, you may be satisfied, but I’m not! We can’t let this guy off the hook easily."
Zhang Xian was frustrated. Qingqing, what are you playing at today?
"Qingqing, what do you mean by this?" Mu Cheng asked.
"I’m the matchmaker here, I can’t do all this work for nothing." Zhu Qing smiled mysteriously and said, "Sister, let’s eat first, then we can go shopping. It’s still early!"
Mu Cheng was stunned, but quickly understood Zhu Qing’s intentions and smirked.
Zhang Xian was frustrated. What Zhu Qing said was not false. Unless she agreed, he and Mu Cheng wouldn’t be able to proceed with their business.
Even if he secretly made a deal with Mu Cheng, as long as Zhu Qing raised an objection in the middle, Mu Cheng would certainly delay it intentionally, and he wouldn’t be able to get the herbs from Mu Cheng.
Why make such a simple matter so complicated?
"Hey, why are you still stunned? Hurry up and eat! We have to go shopping later!" Zhu Qing urged Zhang Xian seeing him motionless.
...
Feeling very frustrated, Ge DaBao got into a Mercedes after leaving the barbershop.
Half an hour passed and he still couldn’t figure out how he inexplicably lost his hair. The way the fire started was so strange!
"Ding dong..." Suddenly, the phone rang.
Ge DaBao quickly sat up straight as he saw the caller, and answered, "Boss."
"Dabao, how are things going?" A strong yet aged voice came from the other end.
"It’s in progress, and there’s been some progress so far."
"Really? I heard that you seem to be interested in Mu Cheng? While I approve of your approach, don’t you think you’re dragging things out a bit?"
"Well, boss, Mu Cheng is indeed impressive. However, I will act as quickly as I can. If this takes too long, I’ll take all necessary measures to win her over without hesitation," said Ge DaBao.
"Hmm, act fast. My plan is almost ready. All I’m waiting for is your results."
"Don’t worry, boss. I will complete this task perfectly." Ge DaBao smirked. After hanging up, he turned to a bodyguard, "Bring some of the brothers here. I need to give the punk who’s interested in Mu Cheng some trouble. Damn, even daring to take the woman I have my eye on, I want to see if that guy happens to have three heads and six arms to fight with me."
...
On the street, at a clothing store,
Zhu Qing, with her arm linked with Mu Cheng’s, was enthusiastically browsing through the store.
Zhang Xian was following them, looking from side to side, feeling rather bored. There was no progress in business dealings, and his mood wasn’t great either.
After all, he needs unusual herbs, even if Mu Cheng’s business involves herbs, she may not have these precious ones. If Mu Cheng can’t help, he has to look for other ways.
"Hmm? That dress is pretty." Suddenly, Zhang Xian’s eyes fixed on a purple lace dress.
He rarely bought clothes before, unsure if his taste was any good, but he found that dress particularly captivating and subconsciously walked over to retrieve it.
"Hey, what are you doing? Planning on buying a dress to make a new style statement?" Zhu Qing came over and asked.
"Hmm, why would I wear a dress?" Zhang Xian held the dress up against Zhu Qing, compared it to her, then laughed, "Hmm, I think this dress will suit you. Wanna try it?"
"What do you mean? Are you buying this for me?" Zhu Qing asked curiously.
"Yeah, I think the dress is beautiful, so I want to buy it and give it to you," Zhang Xian laughed and nodded.
"Wait a minute..." Zhu Qing didn’t seem to accept it, "Out of the blue, why are you giving me a dress? Are you trying to please me?"
"What! Do you see me as a creep?"
"Not exactly creepy, but close enough. Give me a reason first, I won’t accept it until you explain."
Zhang Xian gave a bitter smile and didn’t say anything more. He simply put the dress back. He had no other intentions earlier, he just thought Zhu Qing would look beautiful in the dress.
What he didn’t comprehend was that his gift was not only unappreciated, but he was also scorned. Was that fair?
"What’s your point?" Zhu Qing furiously questioned.
"I have no point!" Zhang Xian responded, "I just think you’re beautiful, and the dress is beautiful too, so I wanted to buy it for you. Since you don’t want it, I just put it back."
"Who... who said I didn’t want it!" Zhu Qing was furious. What was wrong with him? Couldn’t he insist and break through her reticence? Could he be any more ignorant?
Mu Cheng was standing on the side, chuckling.
As Zhu Qing’s cousin and having a close relationship, she understood Zhu Qing very well.
Whether it be looks or physique, Zhu Qing had it all, but had no boyfriend and never got too close with any man.
Today, Zhu Qing suddenly brought Zhang Xian along and she deduced that Zhu Qing had feelings for him. If not love, at least an affinity. Zhu Qing was not known to meddle after all.
Seeing them both arguing now, Zhu Qing really wanted the dress Zhang Xian got for her, but due to her pride, she felt reluctant to accept it casually. Now, Mu Cheng could confirm...
Zhu Qing, this young lady, really has some feelings for Zhang Xian. Her face full of longing had sold her out. If it was someone else, Zhu Qing would have turned it down instantly, let alone accepting it.
"Uh..." Zhang Xian has no idea what Mu Cheng is thinking and seeing Zhu Qing angrily looking at him, he is quite puzzled, "What’s with the staring? You were the one who said you didn’t want the dress."
"You..." Zhu Qing was so furious she started shaking. She marched over and tried vehemently to step on Zhang Xian’s foot.
Zhang Xian’s mouth twitched unnaturally a few times, and he quickly retracted his foot.
