CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 51: WEALTHY AND HANDSOME FRIEND

Shen Qinglan shook her head without thinking: "No need, I’ll take the ox cart to the Town Gate."

Joking, Duan Yunfei definitely rides a horse carriage. If she goes out and rides a horse carriage, and the one escorting her back is a man, what would the villagers say?

She doesn’t care about reputation, but her siblings still need to marry.

Facing rejection, Duan Yunfei didn’t lose heart and continued to smile: "Alright, let’s wait for the next time. When I return, I’ll bring you a gift."

Though she doesn’t know where he’s going, hearing that he’d bring her a gift made Shen Qinglan feel she chose the right friend.

"Miss Shen, let’s go to the Government first, shall we? Let’s sort out the house deed."

The old Tang, who had retreated to the side, stepped forward again.

Shen Qinglan then remembered about the house deed and hurriedly nodded, "Yes!"

The four of them exited through the front yard gates, Duan Yunfei and Shen Qinglan walked side by side, while old Tang and Xuan Ying followed not too far behind.

Duan Yunfei, at eighteen years old, was very tall, at least over 1.8 meters, while thirteen-year-old Shen Qinglan was barely about 1.55 meters, making her appear quite petite beside Duan Yunfei.

Old Tang and Xuan Ying, watching the scene before them, found it somewhat magical.

They never imagined that someday, their Young Master would be accompanied by a young lady.

Duan Yunfei lowered his gaze, slightly tilted his head, and asked Shen Qinglan: "Qinglan, I heard from old Tang that you want to work at Shengxiang as a bookkeeper?"

"Yes," Shen Qinglan nodded.

Duan Yunfei asked again: "What made you think of becoming a bookkeeper?"

Shen Qinglan: "Lack of money."

Duan Yunfei’s expression showed a moment of discouragement.

This girl, her temperament is overly quiet.

"Are you very short of money? How much do you need? I can give it to you."

Behind them, Xuan Ying and old Tang couldn’t help but facepalm.

They felt that the once wise and dignified Young Master no longer existed.

The person before them is entirely the type who would lavishly spend money to win hearts.

First a house, now money, doesn’t he worry the girl might say he’s being frivolous?

"Are you very wealthy?"

After asking this, Shen Qinglan felt it was a redundant question.

Though she doesn’t know what Yongning Manor does, it’s probably not an ordinary manor.

Moreover, Duan Yunfei is the owner of Shengxiang Restaurant, he must be wealthy.

Duan Yunfei raised a brow and laughed lightly: "I’m not able to buy the entire Yunye Country, but I have enough for half of it."

Seems like he is quite wealthy!

Shen Qinglan truly hadn’t expected that in a second life, she could make friends with a supposedly rich and handsome man.

Could this be one of heaven’s compensations to her?

Yes, it must be!

Although she was indeed short of money, having just received a house from him without returning the favor, now taking money would seem uncouth.

Can’t accept... but borrowing should be okay?

After thinking, Shen Qinglan whispered: "Can you lend me a hundred taels?"

"Of course!"

Duan Yunfei summoned Xuan Ying: "Xuan Ying, give the purse to Miss Shen."

Xuan Ying felt a pang but couldn’t refuse his master’s order, so he took down the purse and handed it to Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan opened the purse and saw a stack of silver notes inside.

They seemed quite thick!

She took them out, finding each was for a hundred taels, totaling ten notes...

She took one and pocketed it, then put the rest back in the purse, handing it back to Duan Yunfei: "Just need a hundred taels."
