Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 406 Return Her Jade Pendant

Qingluan took the jade pendant and put it away carefully as if it were a treasure, then turned and left.

He seemed to have no desire to stay here at all and walked hurriedly. A passing woman saw his face and exclaimed in surprise, but before she could get a clearer look at him, he had already left.

Qingluan came to the street and looked towards the Gu family hesitantly.

In the end, he decided to walk towards the Gu family.

When he arrived at Gu's house, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and he raised his sleeve to wipe it gently.

Then he knocked on the door.

Qingluan was filled with anxiety, wondering if she would be happy when she saw the jade pendant.

Soon, the door opened, and the person who opened it saw a man with a somewhat seductive appearance standing at the door.

Qingluan was wearing a gorgeous purple robe today. Her face was as white as jade, her eyes were narrow and upturned, and there was a hint of uneasiness in her violet eyes.

"Who are you looking for?"

The person inside asked.

Qingluan answered seriously: "I'm looking for Young Master Gu."

When that person saw Qingluan was so bright and dazzling, and came to see their young master, his first reaction was that this was a romantic debt that the young master owed outside.

She even looked at Qingluan's belly, thinking, could it be that the young master got her pregnant, so someone came to find him?

Qingluan didn't know what that person was thinking, she just noticed that the look in her eyes was a little strange.

He repeated, "Is Young Master Gu at home today? If not, I'll come over later."

The man who opened the door finally reacted and quickly replied, "Yes, the young master is at home today. I'll go and inform him for you."

"Thank you then." Qingluan smiled politely at the woman who opened the door.

He was very handsome, and his beauty was full of charm. This smile made the woman feel excited.

Therefore, she quickened her pace and came to the door of Gu Qingyuan's room. She said outside, "Young Master, there is a man at the door looking for you."

After a while, Gu Qingyuan's voice was heard. She paused and said, "Do you know who it is?"

The woman said, "I don't know him, but it seems like he has something important to discuss with the young master."

Gu Qingyuan first ruled out Jing Qianfan because even if the sky fell, he would not wait for her at the door. Suddenly appearing from the roof or window was his style.

She replied, "Okay, I understand. Let him in."

The woman went out and brought Qingluan in.

When Qingluan came in, he happened to meet Wen Shubai. He saluted Wen Shubai and said, "Greetings, my lord."

When Wen Shubai saw Qingluan appear, there was a hint of displeasure on his face.

He remembered Qingluan's face, a foxy look, and she came from that kind of place.

If his background was clean, Wen Shubai would not reject him like this.

"What are you doing here?" Wen Shubai frowned.

Qingluan answered very naturally: "I'll come to find Young Master Gu and return the things to her."

Wen Shubai stretched out his hand to him and said, "Give me the things and I'll pass them to her."

But Qingluan took a step back and refused, "This item is precious. I want to hand it over to the young master personally."

"Are you afraid that I will embezzle it or deliberately break it?"

Wen Shubai was a little unhappy.

To put it bluntly, he just didn't want Qingluan to see her, and Qingluan's expression clearly showed that he wanted to make his presence felt in front of her.

Qing Luan lowered her head and said, "I dare not."

He meant that he didn't dare to think that way.

Gu Qingyuan waited for a while, but no one showed up, so he asked Chunfen to come out.

Seeing Chunfen appear, Qingluan said to Wen Shubai: "I'm going to see the young master."

Wen Shubai was left standing there watching Qingluan's back as she walked towards Gu Qingyuan's residence.

He wanted to go back, but then he thought, what if Qingluan seduced her at this time?

He walked towards that direction, but did not go inside. Instead, he stood not far away, wanting to see what Qingluan was looking for Gu Qingyuan for.

Qingluan held the jade pendant tightly in her hand, but was afraid of breaking it, so she quickly let go.

Chunfen took Qingluan inside.

After seeing Qingluan appear, Gu Qingyuan asked him in surprise: "Qingluan, why are you here?"

In the past few years, Qingluan has performed very well in Tianji Pavilion, and he seems to be tireless. He has taken on many tasks and killed many people.

From the shaking hands at the beginning to the fatal move later, Qingluan's reputation naturally spread.

There were even many people who came to Tianji Pavilion specifically to ask Qingluan to help them kill their enemies.

Qingluan carefully took out the jade pendant that Gu Qingyuan had used to redeem him from his sleeve.

The jade pendant was of high-quality texture, cool and smooth to the touch, with a hint of green in the white, and it was obvious at first glance that it was worth a fortune.

He said, "Young Master Gu used this jade pendant to redeem me, and I've always remembered it. Now I've used all my savings to buy it back."

After saying that, he returned the jade pendant to Gu Qingyuan.

Gu Qingyuan noticed that he said he was using all his savings.

She asked Qingluan, "So, you've been taking on missions recklessly these past few years just to earn money to redeem the jade pendant?"

Qingluan did not deny it and looked at her expectantly, wanting her to wear the jade pendant.

After a few years, the jade pendant returned to Gu Qingyuan.

When Qingluan saw her hanging the jade pendant around her waist, a relieved smile appeared on her face.

That’s great. Getting the jade pendant back has always been his obsession.

He thought that someone like him was not worth her spending so much money.

Moreover, this jade pendant was specially given to her by General Gu and it has extraordinary significance.

Although General Gu later gave Gu Qingyuan a blessed jade pendant, she just kept it there and didn't wear it.

Gu Qingyuan asked him again: "How much money do you have on you now?"

Qingluan put her feet together in embarrassment and replied weakly, "I owe Tianji Pavilion four hundred and eighty taels."

"Owe?"

"I...I asked Ye Wu to advance two years' salary."

So now he not only has no money, but also has to pay back double the money. Ten taels a month, two years is two hundred and forty taels, double that, it is four hundred and eighty taels.

"You won't be completely without money for food, will you?"

Qingluan quickly said, "We still have money for food."

However, he now has less than five taels of silver left on his body.

He definitely couldn't buy the jewelry, he had to save money and continue to take on missions.

Gu Qingyuan picked up the jade pendant, which emitted a lustrous luster.

She glanced at Qingluan and said, "Sit down. You've been standing for so long."

Wen Shubai, who was outside, only saw Qingluan take out something and hand it to Gu Qingyuan.

He gritted his teeth and thought to himself, could this be a token of love that he was giving to Gu Qingyuan?

No, he also had to go back and find his best thing to give her.

I must not let this vixen outdo me.
