Chapter 46: Chapter 45 Both Convinced Verbally and Sincerely

Just as the young man was secretly delighted, Xin Yun continued, "Big sister, for your sake, big brother has been so generous. As a reward, and to encourage him to be more romantic and sentimental in the future, shouldn't you give big brother a little reward?""Reward!" Hearing Xin Yun's words, the young man and the girl were both surprised and looked at Xin Yun, not knowing what the supposed reward was.

Looking at the two of them, Xin Yun chuckled and said, "Don't look at me. What reward to give, that's for you to decide, like a hug, or a light kiss, anything goes!"

Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, the audience around them suddenly became interested, shouting out loud — Kiss! Kiss...

Under the encouragement of all the spectators, the girl's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, unsure what to do. She wanted to refuse but didn't know how to do so in this situation. Girls are usually passive; even if unwilling, once pushed, they tend to give in, not to mention she was also somewhat moved, right?

Finally, under immense pressure from everyone, the girl blushed and lightly kissed the young man on the face, and suddenly... cheers erupted.

Touching his own cheek like a fool, the young man muttered to himself, "Worth it... so damn worth it. This wasn't just a kiss in exchange for a piece of gold. The most important thing is, this kiss represents a certain level of acceptance from the girl! From a certain perspective, this piece of gold might have just gotten him a wife!"

A hairpin, gold; these are not equivalent. A wife, gold; even less so. If possible, he would happily exchange ten pieces, no... a hundred pieces of gold for the girl in front of him, without a frown.

On the other side, seeing the passionate exchange between the young couple, the nearby young man immediately regretted so much that his guts turned green. Was it just a piece of gold? If he had been willing, maybe he would have received a kiss from that girl by now. Oh heavens... this was something he wouldn't have even dared to dream of before.

With an example set, followers soon appeared. After necklaces, jade pendants, rings, and bracelets were also exchanged, all for the same price of one piece of gold. As Xin Yun made the trades, he also facilitated four pairs of young lovers. Consequently, though everyone spent some extra money, not a single person felt a loss; instead, they considered themselves quite fortunate.

Eventually, five jade articles were exchanged for four pieces of gold. From Yi Luo Xiang's perspective, today was definitely a great harvest, but to Xin Yun, it still wasn't perfect.

As a qualified merchant, one must never offend any customer. Avoiding trouble is the merchant's creed, let alone causing a breakup.

After completing all transactions, Xin Yun sighed and looked at the couple who had not left. After pondering for a moment, Xin Yun stepped out of his stall and approached them.

Looking at Xin Yun approaching, the young man was conflicted, wanting to hate but finding himself unable to do so, yet, not hating felt wrong as it was Xin Yun who had put him in this embarrassing situation single-handedly.

In truth, the girl also couldn't bear to leave the young man just like that. They had been together for a while, and the feelings between them were quite good. It would be too frivolous to break up over such a small matter, yet today's incident truly left her unable to face the situation, unsure how to deal with it.

Watching Xin Yun approach step by step, the young man immediately tensed up again, fearing more humiliation from Xin Yun. He was already pitiful enough; what more did he want?

As the young man nervously waited, Xin Yun sighed and earnestly said to the girl, "Actually, I really admire your brother. He really knows how to live, very thrifty and never willing to be taken advantage of. Such a man usually takes good care of his family!"

Hearing Xin Yun's words, the boy was startled. He had not expected Xin Yun to speak in his favor. Heaven could be his witness, he had never tried to ingratiate himself with this child.

Meanwhile, the girl's eyes shone upon hearing Xin Yun's words. She understood that Xin Yun was giving her a way out. But was this really just an eight-year-old child? Even adults might not possess such scheming!

Putting aside their thoughts for the moment, Xin Yun continued, "Life is hard, living is hard, and making a life is even harder. It's really difficult to survive in this world. Although big brother might be a bit stingy, not very romantic, men like him are more likely to cherish their wives and children.

They are more practical, more realistic, all to ensure a better life for their wife and children and spare them from suffering."

Hearing this, the young man began to tremble. He knew... Xin Yun was helping him salvage the situation. Obviously... If he left today, the relationship between him and her would essentially end, which was not what the boy wished to see.

Giving the young man a profound look, Xin Yun continued, "He's not unwilling to spend money on you, he just wants to get things at a lower price so he can use the savings to provide a better life for you and your future children. You can't miss out on a man like that."

With that said, Xin Yun walked up to the counter, picked up the gold item the young man had placed there, and smilingly said, "I can't accept this jewelry, but... to prove that he is truly willing to spend this on you, yet can't take it back, I think we should sell the gold item for cash and use it to help children who have lost their parents. I believe...

Such a kind act will surely bless your love!"

Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, the couple immediately showed grateful expressions, and at the same time, the surrounding audience began to applaud. Yi Luo Xiang, in particular, clapped her little hands red, nodding in admiration and murmuring, "Perfect! No... it should be called great!" It doesn't get any better than this. Beyond admiration, she didn't know how else to express her feelings internally.

Handling the matter so perfectly, she doubted her own capability to do so.

In just one afternoon, no... not even a whole afternoon had passed, strictly speaking, it was just a matter of hours, and Xin Yun had turned one piece of gold jewelry into four, and had also brought together five couples. He hadn't offended anyone, and besides gaining money, he had also won the gratitude and admiration of everyone.

Yi Luo Xiang believed that if they were to meet these people again in the future, they would definitely remember this day's events with gratitude.

The transaction was successfully concluded, but before leaving, the young man whom Xin Yun had offended the most became the most grateful to him. Xin Yun had, from another perspective, with another method, fostered the relationship between him and her. The reasoning behind this, he now understood.

First, by belittling him to nothing, Xin Yun caused their relationship to nearly break, but it was during such a time that the girl realized his importance in her heart. People are like that, not cherishing what they have until they're about to lose it, immediately feeling its value.

When the girl recognized his worth, leaving became difficult. Moreover, Xin Yun's last words turned his flaws not into disadvantages but into his greatest assets. In fact... isn't such a practical man exactly what girls desire? What use is romance alone? Can fancy gestures alone fill one's belly?

In the end, the girl's choice would surely be—security! Only a man like him can provide the greatest sense of security to a girl, right?

Xin Yun may not have obtained the gold item, but as a token of gratitude, the young man gave Xin Yun a piece of crystal-grade equipment worth ten pieces of gold— the Vajra Shield! And he promised that if Xin Yun ever needed help, he could always seek him out, leaving his contact details.

Thus, Xin Yun turned one gold item into four gold items and a crystal-grade piece of equipment, equivalent to fourteen gold items, all within just a few hours, increasing the value of his initial item tenfold!

Yi Luo Xiang sighed deeply, still holding the Boomerang Axe in her hands, and couldn't help but sigh. It seemed she had already lost this trade competition. Although there were still two weeks left, she knew... with Xin Yun's methods and intelligence, she stood no chance of victory.
