My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 978 - 539: Ah Qing Is a Greedy Girl (Double - )
Inner Charm isn’t exactly a flattering term among worldly women, but the aunties at the Flower Moon Building are used to saying it without any malice, actually praising Ah Qing for her beauty.
"I didn’t say I was angry, why are you anxious?" Ah Qing said, nodding with satisfaction.
She didn’t understand much about women’s affairs, but if the aunties say she has Inner Charm, it meant she still had the potential to become a fox spirit... Well, she could slowly learn how to be more ladylike within Flower Moon Building, just as preparation for future tea parties with Miss Yun.
"?" Huang’Er had a question mark above her head.
How did her big sister suddenly become so silly and giddy?
But it’s fine.
Being a little silly is good; being a little silly... makes her more like a girl.
Huang’Er thought for a moment, then added, "Sister, the aunties are just accustomed to their words. When they talk about Inner Charm, they’re not saying you’ll be some coquettish girl, but rather they’re talking about... appearance."
Just as everyone thought Ah Qing suited wearing Qingyi, her outward appearance actually is more like that of a virtuous and elegant lady. There’s nothing of the fox spirit’s nature, yet if you look closely, you’ll find Ah Qing actually has a pair of extraordinarily lustrous eyes.
The green eyes of a Half-Demon added a hint of allure.
The sun shines grandly, yet lacks gentle charm; the moon glows softly at night, yet lacks warmth.
Clearly a gentle elder sister, yet she had bewitching eyes. Such a combination... if it landed in the hands of those men, you needn’t wonder how favored Ah Qing would be.
Men can’t resist such contrasting girls.
These four words, ’Grace of the Moon,’ are truly fitting to describe Ah Qing right now.
"I haven’t studied much, but the sisters in Pear Garden say, Ms. Qing, you should be called ’Grace of the Moon’... truly captivating." The girl in yellow danced around proudly, "Anyway, around here, it’s not personality that counts, but whoever is the prettiest gets to speak."
She’s waiting for Ms. Qing to grow into her own so she can look after her in the future.
"...Alright." Ah Qing was left speechless upon hearing others’ appraisal of her looks from Huang’Er.
Being appraised from a woman’s perspective was something Ah Qing had never experienced before.
But now, she doesn’t consider this an insult, instead astonished by how the girls at Flower Moon Building aren’t scared or disdainful of Half-Demon girls.
Keep in mind, in the eyes of most people, even if you looked like Yun Qian, as long as you’re a Half-Demon... those words would just seal your fate.
"Oh well, the rules can’t tie down you girls from the brothel." Ah Qing laughed.
"What are you talking about?" Huang’Er pouted, "Aren’t you one of the brothel girls too?"
"I am, indeed." Ah Qing laughed, then continued, "So... Ni Zi, remember what I just said? You tell me... if you had tasted all the delicacies under the sky, what reason would make you give up attending a grand feast to buy a common snack from a street vendor?"
"Me?" Huang’Er was at a loss with Ah Qing’s whimsical thoughts, but after thinking for a while, she earnestly replied, "If Ms. Qing said you wanted to eat, then I’d go buy it."
All else, whatever feasts or cuisine, faded in comparison with Ms. Qing just saying she wanted to eat.
Ah Qing: "..."
Looking at the young girl’s sincere eyes, Ah Qing even realized her heart was racing.
Yes.
As long as it’s something a beloved person likes, even if it has no real value, it’s the most important thing.
But soon, Ah Qing’s fleeting touch of affection vanished, replaced by a sudden thought that made her catch her breath.
Wait.
Not quite right.
A deep line appeared on Ah Qing’s forehead.
If following the little girl’s logic, her climb to the top was her willingness to bow down to like Yun Qian...
Could it be... Could it be because Young Master Xu likes Yun Qian?
Is that what it means?
Because she likes Young Master Xu, and Yun Qian is his beloved wife, so it made her feel Yun Qian is extremely important...
No.
Impossible.
"No, no, no, that’s not it." Ah Qing shook her head vigorously, then squeezed Huang’Er’s cheek, "Nonsense."
She was nearly led astray by this mischievous girl.
Even though she likes Xu Chang’an, her fondness for Yun Qian came from speaking with Yun Qian, from her gaze, and had nothing to do with Young Master Xu?
Currently, she definitely likes Yun Qian more; how could it be that she was captivated by Young Master Xu’s liking?
No way.
"Don’t mislead me." Ah Qing huffed.
"Ms. Qing..." Huang’Er pouted in grievance.
Sister is truly mean.
She had said something precious, so how did it become nonsense to her sister?
Can’t understand.
Absolutely can’t understand.
"Alright, when it comes to this, if I don’t like a snack, then what reason would there be for you, after tasting all the world’s delicacies, to willingly buy this common snack repeatedly?" Ah Qing pursued.
"Sister, you’ve got so many questions." Huang’Er couldn’t help but complain.
"...Hey." Ah Qing blinked.
Exactly.
Indeed, she had asked so much of her.
Ah Qing quickly realized that it was because she had no one to talk to before, no close friend exists, she’s always alone.
Suddenly she encountered a girl she liked and trusted, so in the unfamiliar realm of ’ladies’, she faced questions that she felt compelled to ask the girl before her, craving her opinions.
Ah Qing blinked faster.
So.
The dignified Sect Leader starts relying on a brothel girl unintentionally?
Ah Qing didn’t even realize that her tone earlier carried a hint of playful coyness.
Looking at the girl in front of her, Ah Qing raised a finger, "If you dislike it, I won’t ask you in the future."
"That’s out of the question!" Huang’Er responded excitedly.
Of course, she should ask her.
Seriously, Huang’Er pondered Ah Qing’s words, then scrunched her little face.
Couldn’t figure it out.
Neither able to understand why Ah Qing asked such questions before stepping on stage nor fathom why she’d enjoy common snacks after experiencing high-end delicacies.
Don’t say it’s a hobby; the girls in brothels are extremely greedy; only like costly, without caring whether it tastes good or not.
After hesitating for a while, unable to provide an answer, Huang’Er mumbled, "Unless, unless the snack was drugged, otherwise, after tasting so many good things, why buy it."
But to Huang’Er’s surprise, her casual comment got Ah Qing’s satisfactory response.
Ah Qing nodded in agreement, "Right, I also think there must be something unusual about that snack."
If she were normal.
Then it must be the snack had a problem.
Huang’Er’s words precisely touched Ah Qing’s heart.
Zhu Pingniang even contemplated using seductive medicine on Li Zhibai, and this became commonplace among girls.
Clearly, Sect Leader’s fondness for Yun Qian is attributed to Yun Qian having something mysteriously peculiar.
"???" Huang’Er watched Ah Qing with an enlightened look, utterly confused.
Did she say something right?
"Nothing to worry about." Ah Qing laughed, waving her hand.
She had already found a good reason to like Yun Qian.
It’s surely not her own decadence leading her to like Yun Qian, but Yun Qian possessing something unusual, since she’s Young Master Xu’s first wife. Compared to Xu Chang’an, who could dismiss Dao Rhyme with a wave, Yun Qian could ignore Heavenly Dao, alluring her away... quite logical.
Hmm.
Logical.
At this moment, Ah Qing just found a reason to justifiably like Yun Qian, but she internally didn’t truly believe Yun Qian had something wrong.
To desire is to desire.
Finding a reason is fine, but deceiving herself is truly disgraceful.
Ah Qing thought she now was a greedy and lustful girl, nothing shameful about it.
