Liu Duo didn’t reply. She also didn’t know how to identify a purebred Mastiff. Most puppies looked the same anyway – fat and dumb.
“Little lady, what do you think?” The stall owner felt thirsty after saying so much.
And to his only customer, Liu Duo, too.
She stood up and asked Ye Ling, “Ling, do you think this puppy’s cute?”
Ye Ling glanced at the fat body and agreed that it certainly seemed adorable, “It’s cute, but it’s too expensive. But you can buy it if you like, Liu Duo.”
Although he felt the dog was a bit too pricey, Liu Duo’s joy was more important than anything else.
“Ling, you are so nice! I really do, so I’m getting it. Alright?” If Ye Mo were there, he would have said she was wasting money again.
“Go ahead,” Ye Ling smiled at her, pampering her to no end.
The stall owner heard that he was about to make a business deal, so he immediately added, “Yes, sure, give it a home. Look at it. It’s cute, and it’d make a good guard dog – the best you can get!”
Pffft, Liu Duo chuckled. People from ancient times used this marketing technique too?
She took out a silver banknote worth 50 taels from her wallet and handed it to the stall owner. “I’m getting it. If it’s not a Mastiff, I’ll be looking for you!”
“Rest assured, it’s definitely a purebred Mastiff! I’ll give you a full refund if it’s fake,” the stall owner proudly guaranteed.
She didn’t respond to him after that. What she said wasn’t intentional. She had her eye on that puppy, not because it was a Mastiff, but because she felt it was fated.
The stall owner accepted the banknote and placed the puppy she wanted in a bamboo cage before giving it to her.
Ye Ling quickly stretched his hand out to carry the puppy. It weighed about ten jin, and he didn’t want to tire Liu Duo.
Seeing Ye Ling like that made her really happy. Shopping with men was great. She absolutely loved it!
Clinging onto his arm, the two of them later bought a fat, white cat with long fur. The price for the cat was a whole lot cheaper than the Mastiff!
The cat wasn’t heavy, Liu Duo could carry its cage. She and Ling continued walking leisurely along the streets.
“Liu Duo? Are you really Liu Duo? My sister?” A man saw her and quickly rushed over.
Liu Duo and Ye Ling stopped in their tracks and stared at this young man in front of them. He looked to be in his twenties, had a common face, neither handsome nor ugly, and he was wearing baggy clothes.
Ye Ling didn’t know him, but the man had addressed Liu Duo, so Ye Ling figured Liu Duo should recognize the man. He looked down at Liu Duo beside him.
She looked at him in deep thought and furrowed her brows. Wasn’t this Liu Qing, her cousin, the son of her eldest uncle? “I’m sorry, you must be mistaken!”
She dragged Ye Ling away from the man and continued on their way. She didn’t want to speak with anyone from the Liu family, whether it was Liu Quanfu or Liu Liushi.
Seeing them walk off, Liu Qing furrowed his brow. Was he mistaken?”
If she was not his cousin, Liu Duo, then who was she? Other than becoming fairer and prettier than before, her voice hadn’t changed, so how could he be mistaken?
He noticed they were wearing fine clothes. He narrowed his eyes and rubbed his chin. Just a few days ago, had he heard from his grandmother that her parents went to visit her and returned with five taels of silver!
“Duo Er, who’s that?” Ye Ling had seen Liu Duo furrow her brow moments earlier, so she must know him.
“Liu Qing, my eldest uncle’s son! Don’t mind him.”
