CH 59

When the three of them had almost finished eating, Mu Xiaoke went to the bathroom. Cen Luo’an took this opportunity to ask, “Are you going to help Xiao Ke with the Mu family’s affairs?”

Chu Han nodded. Three years ago, when Chu Han met Cen Luo’an before the end of the internship period, he asked Cen Luo’an to keep an eye on Mu Yan’s film and television activities. For Mu Xiaoke, he directly invested in Muyan Film and Television. As of today, the equity he holds is enough for him to have the right to speak on major decisions of Muyan Film and Television.

“Today you reminded me that I found a very interesting thing.” Cen Luo’an laughed.

“What is it?”

Cen Luo’an showed a gossiping face, “Mu Kai’s appearance is very outstanding in the circle, and it is a bit too much.”

Chu Han frowned: “Get to the point.”

“On the red carpet, Mu Kai once accidentally got in the same frame with the Movie Queen. The appearance can’t be said to be irrelevant, but it can only be said to be exactly the same!”

“Who’s Movie Queen?”

“The queen of this year’s Orchid Film Festival, Wu Yi.”

Mu Xiaoke heard this when he entered the door and looked at Chu Han strangely. Chu Han is not a gossip, why did he start to care about an actress?

Chu Han picked up Mu Xiaoke’s coat and put it on for him, before leaving.

Cen Luo’an smiled, “Xiao Ke, the City God Temple night market is very lively, do you want to go?”

Mu Xiaoke looked at Chu Han first, and Chu Han looked at him tenderly, “Nod if you want to go, I will accompany you.”

Mu Xiaoke nodded happily, he wants to go, he likes to be lively!

But when going out, Cen Luo’an said goodbye, “I won’t be your light bulb anymore. I’ll go back to wash and sleep, and I have to get up to drink tea with customers tomorrow. Xiao Ke, have fun and buy whatever you like, if he doesn’t buy it for you, just tell me, and I’ll buy it for you!”

Chu Han kicked him unexpectedly but Cen Luoan dodged faster, “Brother Chu, how old are you? Bye-bye!”

Chu Han didn’t bother to argue with him, so he took Mu Xiaoke’s hand and headed to the Town God’s Temple. The Town God’s Temple is not far from where they eat, it is located in the center of the metropolis, and it is only two streets away.

The market outside the Town God’s Temple was brightly lit and crowded with people. Mu Xiaoke held Chu Han’s hand tightly but looked at the small shops on both sides. There are many shops selling antique trinkets, and Mu Xiaoke looks at them with great interest. Standing beside Chu Han on the side of the street, even though there were many little girls watching them, he didn’t change his face at all, his eyes were only fixed on Mu Xiaoke.

Mu Xiaoke held those trinkets in the small stall as if he was looking at some rare antiques, holding them carefully to observe every detail, smiling and frowning on his small face, as if he had discovered something extraordinary. Finally, when he picked up something, his eyes lit up, and he looked over with a smile on his face.

Chu Han couldn’t help laughing. There is no other such a lovely person in the world. To Mu Xiaoke’s gaze, Chu Han responded: “What’s the matter?” 

“This is so beautiful!” He held up the agate bracelet and showed it to Chu Han.

Chu Han took a look, the bracelet made of brown transparent beads looked very simple and elegant, probably made of stones like agate or crystal.

And what attracted Mu Xiaoke the most was that each bead was carved with a Buddha statue, and each Buddha statue was in a different shape. He didn’t expect that there were such exquisite things in this kind of shop. The most beautiful thing on the stall was this bracelet!

Chu Han looked into Mu Xiaoke’s eyes, turned around, and asked, “Boss, how much is this?”

“300!” The boss shouted.

Mu Xiaoke wrinkled his nose at Chu Han as soon as he heard it and then stretched out two fingers to the boss. When the boss saw it, he was not very happy, “Brother, this thing doesn’t make you much money.”

When Mu Xiaoke heard this, he put down the bracelet, took Chu Han, and left.

“Hey, I’ll sell it to you, I’ll sell it to you for 200!”

Mu Xiaoke snickered at Chu Han, and Chu Han scratched Mu Xiaoke’s nose indulgently, “Little clever ghost.”

Turning back to buy something, the two continued to stroll around the market. Chu Han took the bracelet and studied it for a long time, “When did you learn how to bargain?”

Mu Xiaoke explained: “I went to the material market a few times with Master before, and the water in this business is very deep. When I bought defective products, before I went to the market with Master, I always bought materials with certificates from jewelry stores or bought some cheaper materials online. Only after I went there did I realize that it is not easy to buy suitable materials.” 

Chu Han helped Mu Xiaoke put on the bracelet, “After going there, you will be able to cut prices?”

Well, no, bargaining with those manufacturers will really get you red-faced and thick-necked, a bit brutal, and almost starting a fight.

“This is a crystal. The boss also earns a little for 200 yuan, but he doesn’t earn much.” Mu Xiaoke laughed as if he has picked up a gem.

“Candied haws!” A low-quality speaker was playing the store’s recording, and when Mu Xiaoke heard it, he immediately pulled Chu Han and ran over!

Candied haws! He only ate it once when he was very young!

“Do you two handsome guys want to eat candied haws? Freshly made candied haws!”

Mu Xiaoke nodded vigorously. These candied haws are also made differently from the big red hawthorns on TV. Each string is only as long as the index finger. The colorful ones are extremely bright, “The pulp is all fresh, buy some to taste, the big handsome guy will buy some for the little handsome guy?”

Mu Xiaoke turned back and smiled at Chu Han, how could Chu Han resist, “One bunch of one kind of fruit.” Chu Han’s arrogance looks like a domineering Wang Po of Tianliang.

(TN: Wang Po of Tianliang – refers to a person, but at the same time, it is also an idiom that is often used on Chinese Social Media. It basically describes someone so powerful that when the weather goes cold and he dislikes it, he can cause the Wang (Corporation) to go bankrupt.)

Mu Xiaoke was amused by him, but he didn’t dare to ask the boss for a bunch of each fruit but ordered five kinds of fruit.

The candied haws were neatly placed in the box. Mu Xiaoke picked up the strawberry skewers and handed them to Chu Han’s lips. He looked at Chu Han with shining eyes.

Chu Han looked at Mu Xiaoke and opened his mouth to take the first bite. The sourness of the strawberry and the sweetness of the rock sugar blended together, making it cool, refreshing, and delicious.

But what is really sweet is not the food but the beauty in front of him.

Chu Han swallowed the food, lowered his head, and kissed the kid who was eating candied haws.

Mu Xiaoke’s eyes widened, and Chu Han stood up before he could react, “It’s very sweet.”

Although the wind at night was a bit cold, the hearts of the people around him were warm.
