Ye Shenghe saw that Ye Yuning's forehead was drenched in sweat and her expression was a little strange. She really thought that she was sick and quickly ordered her to sit at the side to rest. Seeing that, Manager Qiu immediately brought the box to Ye Shenghe.

"Young master, please take a look." Ye Shenghe slowly opened the azure silk mask.

A pair of round pink pearls lay quietly within the dark coloured cloth, reflecting a faint multicolored light. The two pearls were not perfectly round, but slightly oval in shape. At first glance, however, they looked exactly the same. The middle part of the bead was connected, and it was close to each other just like a twin.

The most peculiar thing was that at the point where the two pearls intersected, there was a faint yellow trace, extremely similar to a swimming dragon in water. This was also what Ye Shenghe was most proud of. Such a rare treasure, if it was lost, it would definitely be hard to find.

Fu Ranzhi carefully observed every detail of the bead, wanting to firmly imprint it into his mind. After a long while, Fu Ranzhi finally closed the lid, and his eyes became clear again.

"It is indeed a rare treasure." Fu Ranzhi said with a smile. There was not a trace of greed in his deep eyes.

This was the temperament that a cultivated Young Master should have. Ye Shenghe had a favorable impression of him, and the smile on his face became even wider.

However, Ye Yuning, who was tasting a cup of tea at the side, did not bat an eye towards Fu Ranzhi's expression. Although he hid it extremely well, Ye Yuning, who had been with him for a few years, was able to see through his disguise with a single glance.

Right now, Duke of Pingjiang was declining. Although Fu Ranzhi was the heir, the old Marquis was still alive and well. If he wanted to inherit the title, he would need four to five years.

In his previous life, Fu Ranzhi had won the title five years later, and at that time, the Duke of Pingjiang Estate was already weak on the outside.

After all, at that time, the wealth of the Ye Family could be said to be the crown on the entire beam. After marrying Ye Yuning, Fu Ranzhi's original title of nobility wasn't even worth mentioning, and it quickly changed.

Back then, in Fu Ranzhi's eyes, Ye Yuning was just a useful commodity. After his rebirth, Ye Yuning carefully recalled every single detail of her previous life, and naturally understood Fu Ranzhi thoroughly.

No matter how humble and obedient he was in front of his father, Ye Yuning was unable to look at Fu Ranzhi in the normal way. He couldn't even speak to him in the most basic of steps.

To be able to sit inside the shop quietly and watch Fu Ranzhi choose his present, was already considered extremely patient for Ye Yuning. If not for his father's presence, he would have left long ago.

"The Old Marquis' birthday, I remember it was in May. The madame was in December, and it was still early … "Who are you trying to trick when they say they are preparing a birthday present!" Ye Yuning sneered in her heart.

On the surface, Fu Ranzhi looked respectful and filial, but in reality, he was cold and heartless. The current Madam Duke of Pingjiang was not his birth mother, but his successor.

Madam Hou had a son who was ten years old, and was well-behaved and well-liked by Duke of Pingjiang.

It was not by chance that Madam Hou, who had repeatedly wanted to seize Fu Ranzhi's position as the successor, did not hesitate to use all sorts of methods and did not succeed even once.

The reason why Ye Yuning didn't like Madam Hou in her previous life was because Fu Ranzhi had refused the marriage of her niece. These things, were all things that Ye Yuning only slowly understood a year before she died.

Ye Yuning sat in the corner without saying a word, as she immersed herself in her own thoughts. She did not know that Fu Ranzhi was secretly sizing her up.

Duke of Pingjiang did not have a high position in the capital, and now, he seemed to be on the decline. However, as the son of Duke of Pingjiang, he had a great reputation.

Firstly, it was because his birth mother came from the same line as the empress dowager's mother, Wang Shi of Liangzhou. Even though she was not from the same line of blood as the empress dowager, she had been raised alongside the Great Ancestor of the Wang clan at that time.

Secondly, it was due to Fu Ranzhi himself.

Fu Ranzhi was young and famous. He was proficient in poetry, riding and shooting, as well as other six arts. With his handsome, elegant appearance, he had a refined temperament, and was praised as one of the four great young masters of the capital.

As a result, despite his stepmother's obstruction, Fu Ranzhi's position as the heir was extremely secure. Since the year before yesterday, people constantly visited him to talk about marriage. Fu Ranzhi had been used to people watching him and watching him from a young age, especially when he was thirteen years old.

Fu Ranzhi knew a few of the misses, and even had dealings with princesses. No matter who it was, they had never been like Ye Yuning, who only glanced at him once before treating him like thin air.

Fu Ranzhi felt it was strange, he could not help but look at Ye Yuning a few more times.

He had a good memory. He had never seen this young lady before, but why was she treating him so coldly, even with a hint of disgust?

If there was a grudge between the two, then the look and attitude in his eyes was still within his past. However, how did the two of them, who had never met, start a conflict?

Fu Ranzhi could not come to a conclusion no matter how he thought. He originally wanted to go up and ask, but because Ye Shenghe was around, he could only give up.

Ye Shenghe admired Fu Ranzhi a lot, he knew that had come to pick his birthday present, so he raised his hand, and ordered Manager Qiu to take out the treasures inside the shop.

Even if the Gemini Beads couldn't be bought, there were still many gifts that could be taken out in the shop. What Ye Shenghe asked Manager Qiu to take out, were all gifts that matched Fu Ranzhi's status.

Ye Shenghe was the same, once he met someone he had his eyes on, regardless of their identity, he would treat them with the best possible treatment.

Fu Ran expressed his gratitude again and again and began to carefully choose.

Strictly speaking, the items sold by the Orchid Pavilion were not considered precious in Fu Ranzhi's eyes. Although the Duke of Pingjiang Residence was weak, a skinny camel was bigger than a horse. Fu Ranzhi had a very good opinion of his family.

After picking them for a long time, Fu Ranzhi picked out a piece of Crystal Stone and a pair of rare treasures to play with, with one look, it was a gift for his male elders. The two things had a total of more than five hundred silver, Ye Shenghe directly sent the shopkeeper to the end of the line.

Fu Ranzhi straightforwardly took out his money and instructed Manager Qiu to take the items to the Zhou Mansion on the west side of the city. After he finished buying, Fu Ranzhi was just about to talk to Ye Yuning when a candid teenager ran in.

"Brother Fu, haven't you finished buying the items yet?" It's already been less than an hour. Everyone's getting impatient from waiting. " The young man wore a bright red robe with a red ruby crown on his head. His face was as white as jade, but his expression was one of ridicule. It was obvious that he was a popinjay from another family.

"That's good, I have troubled everyone for a long time, it was I's fault." Fu Ranzhi had a kind attitude, he cupped his hands towards Ye Shenghe and was ready to say his goodbyes.
