Gu Zitang was stunned. He hadn’t expected that his younger sister would ask this question.

Since young, he was taught that the way of the trade was to buy low from one and then sell high at another. This was what business was.

When had he ever cared if the people involved in the process would end up poorer?

Business was a fight between merchants.

There was no smoke or blood, but it could bring one endless wealth or poverty.

Gu Zitang was stunned for a moment before replying with a smile, “Baby Nuo, if all the merchants in the world have the same thoughts as you…

“Then no one would earn money. Kindness can’t fill your hunger. Do you understand that, my precious sister?”

Gu Nuo’er scratched the tip of her nose, feeling very confused.

Her emotions sank in her big glistening eyes as if she was trying very hard to think.

Gu Zitang laughed it off. Coincidentally, the waiter served the dishes. He picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of fragrant braised pork for Gu Nuo’er.

“Even if it’s not Brother, there will be others in this world who will earn their money. This is called life. Alright, Baby Nuo, quickly eat. You must be hungry.”

Gu Nuo’er pushed the silver aside.

When she saw the shiny and fragrant braised pork in the bowl, she swallowed her saliva.

She still could not hold her chopsticks well. She grabbed the spoon with her little hand and took a bite.

When she looked up again, her pink lips were glistening, and her watery eyes looked satisfied from having eaten delicious food.

The child’s cheeks were stuffed with food and her eyes squinted into crescents. She said in a blurry voice, “Second Blother¹, the food here is very delicious!”

Gu Zitang smiled dotingly.

Looking at Gu Nuo’er eating heartily, he guessed that she had already forgotten her pity for the poor.

After all, his sister was still a child and he didn’t think that she would take this matter to heart.

After the siblings were done with their meal, Gu Zitang then carried Gu Nuo’er to head to another street.

He held Gu Nuo’er’s hand and entered a shop for making clothes. He had planned on buying a few rolls of fabric that were fashionable and nice.

Although there were all sorts of rare and precious fabrics in the place, sometimes, the designs available outside weren’t bad either.

He was going to bring everything good to his sister.

However, when Gu Zitang and Gu Nuo’er just arrived at the fabric shop, they were stopped by the shop assistant.

The shop assistant bowed and smiled apologetically, “Master, Little Young Miss, I’m really sorry. We have two important customers visiting our shop today.

“They are in the midst of picking out fabric designs and don’t like outsiders entering. Could you do us the favor and patronize our small shop another day? We’d be really thankful.”

Gu Zitang immediately frowned, his peach blossom eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

“What kind of important people are they to be so domineering? They are the only ones who can pick fabric and others aren’t allowed to see?”

Gu Nuo’er tilted her small head, her big eyes blinking on her fair and chubby face.

She asked the shop assistant, “Little Uncle, can’t I go in and pick a hair accessory?”

The shop assistant looked at the fair and delicate baby, her big eyes were filled with a clear glass-like light.

The shop assistant felt that his heart had melted.

However, the two young misses in the fabric shop were well-known for being bad-tempered!

The shop assistant lowered his voice and persuaded, “Master, I don’t wish to do this either. But I really can’t afford to offend those two young misses.

“Why not I’ll pay for your bill to take a rest at the teahouse next door, and you guys can come again in a while?”

If it wasn’t because Gu Nuo’er looked really adorable and innocent, the shop assistant would definitely pay for the expenses from his own pocket.

However, Gu Zitang was born into a noble family. When had he not had things going according to his wishes?

He immediately sneered. “Can’t afford to offend them? To think that there are actually people who are more amazing than me in the capital.”
