Chapter 452: Colored Glass

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang Danhe had all day today, so he decided to stay home and keep Xiaoguo company.

However, things didn’t turn out as expected. Although he had free time, Xiaoguo was getting busy.

“What are you doing today?”

Xiaoguo gave him a strange look at first. But when she saw his innocent expression, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to inform him.

It was already midnight when Jiang Danhe returned home last night. She was so sleepy that she couldn’t open her eyes, so she didn’t have the chance to tell him anything.

“I bumped into Su Changsheng yesterday and he’s picking me up today to go see his newly renovated shop,”

Xiaoguo said as she got dressed. Seeing that Jiang Danhe was about to get out of bed, she quickly stopped him and said, “What are you doing? Didn’t you say that you had nothing to do today? You should take the opportunity to sleep in.”

…..
He had come back so late last night and had only slept for a few hours.

“… I can’t get back to sleep,” Jiang Danhe said as he started to get dressed and make the bed. Then he left to wash up, but not before saying, “Wait here. I’ll bring you some water.”

“What’s going on?”

Xiaoguo watched the man leave and tried to figure out what was going on for a moment, but eventually, she still couldn’t think of an answer.

Even after Xiaoguo was done washing up, Jiang Danhe was still following behind her with a grumpy expression.

“By the way, do you want to come with me?”

She had asked this question casually because she remembered that he had nothing to do today. She still preferred if he stayed home to rest.

“Sure.”

Jiang Danhe replied without hesitation, and his mood instantly turned sunny, as if he had been waiting for her to say this.

“You…” Xiaoguo hesitated for a moment, thinking that it might be better for him to rest for a while.

“What time do we leave?”

Jiang Danhe asked happily. Seeing him like this, Xiaoguo couldn’t bear to say anything else. She was thinking of making the visit short so that Jiang Danhe could come home and rest.

“There’s no hurry. Let’s eat first.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Danhe took her hand and walked happily towards the hall.

Xiaoguo followed behind him helplessly. She finally knew why the man was looking so unhappy earlier on.

“Why isn’t Zhuang Zhuang back yet?”

It had been almost a week since he went to the palace, it was about time for him to come back.

“I went to see him and he was having a good time learning horse-riding and archery with Xiaoyi.”

Listening to Jiang Danhe’s description, she could imagine the little boy sitting on the horse. She knew that Xiaoyi’s lessons were diverse and interesting, so Zhuang Zhuang must be enjoying himself. Although she was feeling happy for him, she couldn’t help but worry about his safety.

“He won’t fall, will he? What if he gets kicked by the horses again? The swords have no eyes. What if he gets hurt? Is there anyone taking care of him?”

Xiaoguo kept asking a lot of questions while Jiang Danhe started walking slower and slower. Finally, he turned around abruptly, pinched her cheeks, and kissed her, successfully stopping her from speaking.

“Show more concern for your man.”

With that, he turned around and left with an air of dominance. But one had to ignore the shy expression on his face.

Xiaoguo touched her lips in disbelief. Did she just get bitten by him just now? It felt a little numb and painful…

In the carriage, Su Changsheng was chatting leisurely with Xiaoguo, but Jiang Danhe couldn’t be bothered with him. He only sat by the side, looking out of the carriage window.

If not for the fact that he wanted to accompany Xiaoguo, he wouldn’t have wanted to see this person’s face.

Xiaoguo couldn’t bear to ignore Jiang Danhe, so she held his hand as she chatted with Su Changsheng.

While chatting, Su Changsheng suddenly narrowed his eyes and locked onto Xiaoguo’s lips. “What’s wrong with your mouth?”

“… Uh…” Xiaoguo subconsciously touched her lips. She blushed and looked at the man beside her.

This time, Jiang Danhe did not evade the question. He wrapped his arms around Xiaoguo and gave Su Changsheng a provocative smile.

Xiaoguo gave Jiang Danhe a gentle nudge. He was being too bold and thick-skinned. Just moments ago, she was trying to find a random excuse to get past the question, but his actions just rendered all excuses obsolete.

It was a pity though, that the person opposite them was someone who valued money more than anything else. He seemed oblivious to the flirtation that was taking place between the couple. Therefore, when he saw the strange interaction between Jiang Danhe and Xiaoguo, he only felt confused.

“How did you get that on your lips?”

Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe were stunned. Why was he still asking when the answer was so obvious?

Seeing that he didn’t look like he was feigning ignorance, Xiaoguo gave up. She said calmly as the embarrassment on her face dissipated, “I accidentally bit my lips.”

Su Changsheng nodded in understanding. He had guessed correctly!

Jiang Danhe sighed silently. They were clearly showing off their love, but why was he feeling so powerless…?

Su Changsheng looked at the two of them and raised his eyebrows.

When they arrived at their destination, Su Changsheng alighted first. Jia Bao lifted the curtain and waited for the three of them to come down before putting it down.

“What do you think?”

Su Changsheng was very confident about the renovation works. He was personally involved in doing the sketches and deciding on the design style. Every piece of wood here was also carefully selected by him.

As soon as Xiaoguo got out of the car, she was immediately dazzled by the minimal French-style design. “How did he manage to achieve this?’

“How… how did you come up with this idea?”

“Had he also transmigrated? Is he someone from the same era?!”

“This is the unique style of the Shao Country. I combined it with the influence from several other countries and made some small changes to the details. How about it? It’s really amazing, isn’t it?”

From a young age, he was determined to create a shop that would amaze the world. He wanted to become the top businessman, not only locally, but also in other countries. His name would be synonymous with success – Su Changsheng!

Clap, clap, clap…

The round of applause was for Su Changsheng.

Xiaoguo admired and worshiped him from the bottom of her heart. She had to give it to him. “So the big shot is here. No wonder he is so rich!”

It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. This saying has held true since ancient times.

Su Changsheng has seen so much and traveled to so many places. His vision had surpassed the majority of the people in this era, which was why he was able to create such a unique and innovative way of making money.

She only stopped clapping when her palms turned red. From the bottom of her heart, she said to him, “You’re really amazing!!”

Su Changsheng pursed his lips to hide the smile on his face.

“It’s indeed beautiful.”

Jiang Danhe also gave his praise, although he still disliked the man. This guy’s aesthetic standard was at the forefront of all humans.

Su Changsheng nodded proudly. “You’re right.”

Jiang Danhe’s smile instantly disappeared.

“Come in and take a look.”

Su Changsheng smiled and led the way through the arched door. Xiaoguo held Jiang Danhe’s hand and followed closely behind. She couldn’t wait to see the interior.

At this moment, there were still many craftsmen working inside. The general structure had taken form, and only the small details were left to be worked on.

The walls and lighting fixtures were all of the type that Xiaoguo wanted to have but didn’t know how to achieve.

Along the way, she kept exclaiming to herself. “What am I going to do? This is my dream love shop…”

“You actually have colored glass!!”

Xiaoguo let go of Jiang Danhe’s hand and ran to the huge bay window that had been completed, carefully touching and feeling it.

Su Changsheng could leave her dream love shop now…

“I’m most satisfied with this corner too.”

Su Changsheng came to her side and touched the precious glass with a mix of pain and pleasure on his face. It was not easy to acquire it.

“How much did this cost?”

Xiaoguo was feeling tempted. She really wanted to install one in her two-story building.

…..
Su Changsheng remained silent and only extended his five fingers. Xiaoguo laughed when she saw that. Was that all? She could afford it.

But right after that, he started flipping his fingers back and forth countless times, showing no sign of stopping.

“Alright, I suddenly realize that it’s not that beautiful after all.”

Xiaoguo stopped Su Changsheng and left to admire the other parts of the shops.

At this price, she would be crazy to continue fawning over that piece of colored glass. It was slightly more beautiful, more translucent, and a little bit more attractive than normal glass.. Besides that, there was nothing else!
