"Mm, get in the car." Gu Yunting was now meticulously attentive to Ye Wan, immediately stepping out to help her into the car.
Ye Wan looked at the pink little car and almost burst out laughing. It was such a stark contrast to Gu Yunting. The car had only two seats. After she got in, Gu Yunting walked to the other side and sat down. He pressed the accelerator, and the car drove off.
"This car is quite fun," Ye Wan said with great interest, clearly seeing how easily he was driving.
"Want to try?" Gu Yunting asked.
"Can I?" Ye Wan's eyes sparkled as she looked at him.
"No, it's not safe," Gu Yunting refused decisively.
The girl's smile froze on her face. She mumbled softly, then turned away to ignore him. She could just look at the scenery.
However, Ye Wan was soon captivated by the scenery. It was truly beautiful, especially at dusk with the spectacular sunset. Ye Wan's mood quickly brightened.
Gu Yunting had been worried that she would remain unhappy. He couldn't let a pregnant woman drive, and he was concerned about her. Fortunately, her emotions were quick to change, and she was happy again now.
It wasn't until they passed through the gate guarded by sentries that Ye Wan realized the area around the house she was in, for at least three kilometers, belonged to Gu Yunting, and outsiders could not enter.
Now that they were out, she saw houses of ordinary people. Within minutes, they arrived at a marketplace.
It was called a marketplace, but it was essentially people from the surrounding area setting up stalls to sell things – food, clothing, daily necessities, everything.
Ye Wan was accustomed to city life. Suddenly seeing such a simple place, everything felt new and exciting. Gu Yunting and Ye Wan naturally became novel figures in the eyes of the locals.
Especially looking at the pregnant young girl, who seemed to be only eighteen or nineteen, and her husband, who also didn't look old, perhaps just in his early twenties. They were a handsome couple, so well-matched.
There weren't many people in the marketplace. Gu Yunting held Ye Wan's arm as they walked, afraid someone might bump into her. He protected her very carefully.
Ye Wan looked with excitement at the items being sold around them, her eyes not enough to take it all in. She stopped at a stall selling pearl jewelry, looking at the crudely made pearl necklaces displayed. She picked one up and asked the price.
The stall owner immediately quoted five hundred.
"Like it?" Gu Yunting didn't think much of the items here, but if she liked it, he could buy it to make her happy, and it wasn't expensive.
Only five hundred yuan.
"Too expensive! I don't want it." Ye Wan put the necklace down and turned to leave.
"Hey, don't go. If you think it's too expensive, you can haggle," the stall owner, who had finally found a customer, didn't want to miss this opportunity. Moreover, this couple looked like they had money.
"Will you sell it for twenty?" Ye Wan asked shamelessly.
Gu Yunting was so startled by her bargaining method that he coughed twice, almost choking himself.
Tw... twenty?
This stall owner was asking for five hundred.
He worried she might get hit and quickly held her tighter.
"Yes!" the stall owner agreed without hesitation.
Ye Wan immediately took out her phone to pay.
Gu Yunting watched her happily holding the crude necklace, his expression indescribable. He never knew you could buy things like this in the world.
Something worth five hundred yuan, she could get for twenty.
Ye Wan excitedly asked Gu Yunting to help her put on the necklace. The uneven pearls, some round, some flat, looked surprisingly noble against Ye Wan's slender white neck.
Forget five hundred, one could believe it was fifty thousand.
