337 Buying Things
Ning Yue suddenly did not know what to do in the face of Baili’s request. She fell silent.
“It’s rare for people to be curious. Since Baili is willing to learn, Yueyue, give him a chance.”
Jiang Ying had appeared at some point and said this as soon as he arrived, startling Ning Yue. “Why are you here?”
“I heard that the people from the Demon Palace were meeting you. I was worried about you, so I came over. Are you alright?” Jiang Ying asked nervously.
Seeing Jiang Ying’s nervous expression, for some reason, a fiery red figure suddenly appeared in Ning Yue’s mind.
She was really too curious about what kind of person Willow was.
Seeing that Ning Yue was a little distracted, Jiang Ying thought that she was injured and hurriedly asked, “What happened?”
Ning Yue shook her head and smiled at him. “It’s nothing. I was just a little surprised to meet two people.”
“I wonder which two people Yueyue met. Tell me and I can help you reference them,” Jiang Ying said.
Ning Yue did not intend to hide it from him and told him about Willow and the boss.
“Is the boss you’re talking about the one who sold the house to you after you saved his wife in the capital?” Jiang Ying asked.
Ning Yue nodded. “That’s him.”
“I’m really curious about what kind of person that Willow is,” Ning Yue said.
“Why? Ning Yue seems to be very interested in me.” Willow suddenly appeared.
Faced with the sudden appearance of someone, Jiang Ying blocked Ning Yue behind him and looked at him warily.
At this moment, Ning Yue realized that Willow’s mask was actually the same as that human skin mask.
The mask was completely pressed against his face. If not for the fact that his lips did not move when he spoke, she would not have noticed.
“I’m not interested in what you look like. I’m just telling my fiancé that I met two very annoying people today and asked him to figure out their identities. After all, these two people disgust me too much. Don’t you think so, my dear fiancé?” Ning Yue said as she turned to look at Jiang Ying affectionately.
Jiang Ying fell for it. When he saw Ning Yue smiling at him, he couldn’t help but grin. “Yes.”
Willow was furious by Ning Yue’s words. He smiled sinisterly.
“Miss Ning, no, I should call you Princess Mingyue. Don’t you think you’ve lived too long?” Willow sneered.
“It’s said that the Demon Marquis is immortal and indestructible. You’re the one who has lived the longest,” Jiang Ying continued.
Willow smiled. “Is that so? Maybe, but none of that matters. What matters is that I met the two of you today.”
Ning Yue noticed that Willow’s eyes were probing.
She didn’t know why he was testing her, but Ning Yue frowned.
“There doesn’t seem to be a need for us to get to know each other. The meaning of your understanding of recognition isn’t quite the same as ours. I think only those who can owe each other a favor can be called acquaintances.”
“Then take it that I owe the princess a favor. In the future, if you need anything, you just have to send a message and I’ll be there. You and the heir of Prince Jin can go either way. I’ll help you.”
With that and without waiting for Ning Yue to react, Willow turned around and left.
Ning Yue watched him leave with a livid expression. This person’s words were incoherent. She didn’t like him very much.
“Yueyue, don’t be angry.” Jiang Ying comforted Ning Yue. “This person’s personality is like this to begin with. We don’t have to approach him or pay attention to him. In any case, we shouldn’t have any interactions with him in the future.”
Ning Yue took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Ying. “Let’s go.”
Jiang Ying nodded and pulled Ning Yue into the carriage. “Do you have any plans today?”
“I do have something to discuss with you today.” Ning Yue nodded.
“What is it?”
“I want to take a look at West Street. Would you like to come along?”
West Street? Jiang Ying frowned slightly.
She had gone to East Street not long ago. Why was she going to West Street this time?
There were some ordinary families living on West Street, so they did not have to worry about food and clothing. However, it was difficult for the people there to buy valuable items.
Why was Ning Yue there for no reason?
Could it be that she still felt that buying the land on East Street was not enough and wanted to buy West Street too?
