Chapter 910: What to Discuss If Not Money?
Don't mention it, after being in a coma for several days, Su Chen was really quite hungry. He ate three large bowls of rice in one go, and polished off all the dishes!
This made Xiao Yaning, who was watching from the side, a bit dumbfounded. Could his stomach really handle all that?
"Su, is that enough? If not, I'll get you some more."
Qi Hui asked with a smile, but at that moment, there seemed to be something different in her gaze towards Su Chen.
Hmm, more like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law!
If Qi Hui was still uncertain about Xiao Yaning's feelings before, during the days Su Chen was in a coma, how could she not see it clearly?
In those few days, the worry on Xiao Yaning's face never faded, and she personally stayed by his side the whole time, only resting a little while at the bedside when she was truly exhausted!
She refused to let the servants take over for her, even for a short while.
She understood that a woman isn't just simply fond of a man; her feelings are deeply rooted!
Added to that, with the words her husband spoke to her a few days ago, Qi Hui decided to leave them be and let them develop naturally.
Besides, judging by Su Chen's demeanor, it seemed he wouldn't give her daughter any grief.
Once her mindset shifted, Qi Hui naturally became more affectionate towards Su Chen!
"That's enough, Auntie, I'm already full!"
Su Chen quickly said, but after seeing Qi Hui's gaze, couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart!
.....
Now that Su Chen had awoken and seemed fine, Xiao Yaning was preparing to go back, considering she'd stayed long enough.
The Yu Jun couple knew she was quite busy with work, so they didn't insist on her staying longer.
Originally, they planned to leave a few days ago, but due to Su Chen's coma, they had already extended their stay.
Nonetheless, the Yu Jun couple personally took the two to Binjiang's airport, seizing an opportunity for a couple more hours together.
At the airport entrance, after a few words of advice, Xiao Yaning urged them to head back quickly, and then they entered the airport's doors.
But immediately afterward, bad news arrived; there was a heavy rain in Yandu, causing flight delays.
This delay, who knows how long it would last, but it seemed a few hours were inevitable.
They had no choice but to wait.
Just at that moment, Su Chen's phone rang. He looked and saw it was an unfamiliar number calling, so he answered.
"Mr. Su, why hasn't anyone been answering your phone these past few days?"
As soon as the call connected, the voice on the other side asked curiously.
"Is there something you need?"
Su Chen casually replied. He immediately recognized the voice as Bai Yang, the Bai Family's young master, whom he'd met a few days ago.
Indeed, during that late-night snack, he had left Bai Yang his number.
"Oh, it's like this, didn't I mention before that there's an antique fair here in Binjiang? Are you interested in checking it out?"
Bai Yang said. He had been calling for two days just to mention this, but the calls weren't able to get through.
He obviously wasn't aware that Su Chen had been in a coma and couldn't pick up the phone.
Of course, Xiao Yaning wouldn't answer his calls either.
Upon hearing Bai Yang's words, Su Chen recalled there indeed was such a matter, and he had said he would visit if he had the time.
"When is this antique fair?" Su Chen asked.
"It's happening right now, just started. If you're interested, Mr. Su, I can come to pick you up!"
"No need, just tell me the location; I can take a taxi there myself."
Su Chen thought about it for a moment. Since he couldn't leave anyway, instead of waiting idly, he might as well go to have a look and pass the time.
Then Bai Yang informed him of the venue's location for the antique fair, and Su Chen took a taxi with Xiao Yaning to go there.
They weren't worried about missing their flight since they could stay updated with the flight information on their phones.
Twenty minutes later, the two appeared at the entrance of a spacious warehouse where the antique fair was held inside.
At this point, a young man, who had been waiting at the entrance, immediately approached with a warm smile:
"Mr. Su, Miss Xiao, you've arrived!"
"Young Master Bai, we can go in on our own, so there's no need to wait here."
Su Chen said.
"You may not be aware, Mr. Su, but the antique fair has quite strict requirements; an invitation or someone to escort you is needed to enter."
Bai Yang explained.
Of course, even if this wasn't the rule, Bai Yang would still have waited here.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen glanced towards the entrance and noticed guards checking invitations.
Then, he and Xiao Yaning followed Bai Yang inside. At the entrance, Bai Yang presented the invitation for the guards to see, and then the three entered.
In reality, for Bai Family's young master, even without an invitation, it wouldn't matter; he could simply get in with his reputation.
After entering, Su Chen glanced around and found the place more spacious than he had imagined; even during the day, the lights were bright!
Inside, there were numerous stalls displaying various antiques, porcelain, paintings, and more.
Su Chen took a quick look around; the items there seemed noteworthy, each estimated to be worth at least hundreds of thousands!
Anyone without some wealth would certainly hesitate to come to a place like this!
"Young Master Bai, we'll take a look around ourselves."
Su Chen saw Bai Yang was following them and said.
He didn't mean anything else, just preferred not having someone tagging along.
"Alright then, Mr. Su, Miss Xiao, I happen to have friends over there, so I'll go greet them."
Bai Yang understood Su Chen's intention and delicately replied.
After Su Chen nodded, Bai Yang stepped away.
Then Su Chen and Xiao Yaning started wandering around.
It was Xiao Yaning's first time in such a place, and she felt it was quite fascinating, lingering at each stall for a while.
"This pendant is nice, boss, how much is it?"
Su Chen asked while holding a pendant.
"Sir, you have a good eye; this pendant features an embedded exquisite cat's eye jade, at least 15 million."
The stall owner responded enthusiastically.
"Su Chen, why are you buying this?"
Xiao Yaning asked from the side.
"To give it to you."
Su Chen smiled and said:
"I gave Ye Mei a gift for her birthday last time, but didn't give you anything. Didn't you say I should make up for it?"
Actually, Su Chen already owned much more valuable items, but he suddenly thought this piece suited Xiao Yaning perfectly and decided to buy it for her.
"No, no, that's way too expensive!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yaning quickly waved her hands.
She might have accepted something worth tens of thousands, but this was over tens of millions, simply beyond measure. "No worries, between us, do we need to talk about money?"
Su Chen chuckled and said, then handed the boss a card for payment.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yaning didn't say anything else, especially since the boss was already processing the payment.
Fortunately, she knew this amount of money was negligible for Su Chen; otherwise, she'd never accept it!
However, hearing Su Chen's earlier words, she couldn't help but want to ask:
"If we're not discussing money between us, then what are we discussing, feelings?"
What do you think?
