Qi Yihan first brought Tang Li to the antique store next door. The boss’s surname was Liu, and he was a middle-aged man with a square head and big ears who looked a little like Budda.
Boss Liu personally came to welcome them at the door and was especially enthusiastic. “Fourth Master, Fourth Madam, welcome, welcome. It’s such an honor to have you guys come to my little shop.”
Qi Yihan said politely, “Sorry for disturbing you.”!!
“No, no, no. Fourth Master, I should be the one to say thank you for coming over. Please follow me inside.”
When they walked in, Boss Liu specially sized Tang Li up. This was the first time he saw Qi Yihan with Tang Li, so he was a little amazed and surprised.
After they entered the shop, Mr. Liu brought them to the reception area and sat down.
Qi Yihan didn’t beat about the bush and said directly, “My wife has been rather interested in antiques recently and wants to buy some. Can you please get someone to show her what you have?”
Boss Liu was even more surprised. “Fourth Master’s antique store has the most complete collection of antiques among us. Why would Fourth Madam fancy my family’s antiques?”
Qi Yihan glanced at Tang Li. Then he said to Mr. Liu with an indifferent expression, “She wants to buy something different from all those at home. I think as her husband, I have to fulfill her wish.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu immediately smiled knowingly. “Fourth Master is so good to Fourth Madam. If word gets out, all the girls will be envious.”
However, he was also confused, thinking to himself, “Is the rumor that Fourth Master and Fourth Madam don’t love each other false?”
Tang Li glanced at Qi Yihan. She didn’t understand why Qi Yihan, who was always cold and domineering, would be so sweet and considerate towards her.
Qi Yihan said calmly, “Mr. Liu, why don’t you get someone to take Madam to see the antiques. She will be going to other antique shops very soon. Whatever she wants, it’s all on me.”
This was the first time Boss Liu was doing business with Qi Yihan. He was excited and felt like he was doing business with a member of the royal family. He felt especially proud of himself. “No, Madam, please don’t bother standing up. I’ll immediately get someone to bring all the best antiques in the store over to show you.”
“No need.” This time, Tang Li spoke. “I want to take a look for myself. It doesn’t have to be the best. I’ll only buy what I like.”
“Well…”
Boss Liu looked at Qi Yihan, who nodded at him.
Boss Liu, who wanted to seize the good opportunity to accompany Qi Yihan and talk about business, said, “Alright, I’ll get the manager to show Madam the antiques.”
Then, he called the manager over and asked him to bring Tang Li to choose the antiques.
When Tang Li stood up, she leaned forward and whispered into Qi Yihan’s ear, “If I see anything I like later, lend me some money. I’ll return it to you very soon.”
Qi Yihan tilted his head and his gaze happened to meet her red lips. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Ok.”
Satisfied, Tang Li followed the manager to the antique display area.
The manager wanted to introduce the antiques to her, but Tang Li said, “Don’t worry. I know what they are.”
Tang Li quickly scanned the antiques. The manager who was following behind her could not help but mutter to himself, “Is Fourth Madam choosing antiques? With this speed, what can she choose?”
After walking around the entire antique store, Tang Li returned to the guest area. Boss Liu asked, “I wonder which antique Fourth Madam has her eyes on. I’ll get someone to send it to your mansion later.”
“Nothing.” After saying this, Tang Li looked at Qi Yihan.
Qi Yihan stood up. “In that case, let’s go to the other stores to take a look.”
Boss Liu had always wanted to get close to Qi Yihan and hoped that Tang Li could choose a few from his store. When that time came, he would be able to give her a huge discount as a favor. He didn’t expect Tang Li to not fancy a single one and was a little anxious.
“Fourth Madam, are you really not into any antiques in my store? Did the manager show you the best ones? Do you want me to show you the best of the best in my collection?”
“No need. I’ve seen all the antiques in your store, but I don’t like any.”
After saying that, Tang Li walked out first.
“Um… Fourth Master.” Boss Liu looked at Qi Yihan anxiously.
Qi Yihan said, “Since my wife is not into any of the antiques, we won’t disturb you anymore.”
With that said, he walked out.
Mr. Liu quickly followed. He was curious as to what kind of antiques would Tang Li be interested in.
Then, Tang Li followed Qi Yihan to a few more shops, and in one of the shops, she took fancy to a wine bottle from the Song Dynasty. The boss did Qi Yihan a favor by selling it to Tang Li for only a few hundred thousand.
Soon, they were followed by several bosses who wanted to see what kind of antiques Tang Li would buy.

The group of people was walking on the streets. At this moment, the shops were preparing to open up for business. When the salespeople in the shops saw so many bosses together, they all leaned against the door and peeped curiously.
“Oh my god! Isn’t that Fourth Master? Why is he on the antique street today?”
“Who’s that woman beside Fourth Master? She’s so pretty and noble.”
“It should be Fourth Madam. I heard that Fourth Madam is especially beautiful.”
“No way. Isn’t it said that Fourth Master and Fourth Madam don’t love each other? How could they be together?”
“Maybe not. Maybe she is just a chick who throws herself at Fourth Master’s feet.”
The bosses who followed Tang Li and Qi Yihan on the streets kept finding topics to chat with Qi Yihan while asking what kind of antiques Tang Li wanted.
Tang Li only said, “I like whatever gets my attention at the first glance.”
Everyone thought to themselves, “Fourth Madam is indeed different from ordinary madams.”
After they walked for a while, a person in a hurry walked over. Before he got closer, the bosses saw who he was and started discussing in low voices.
“Isn’t that Boss Zhang? Why is he here today?”
“He seems to be in a hurry. Did something happen at home again?”
“Boss Zhang’s family has been really unfortunate recently. All kinds of bad things are happening to them.”
“I heard he invited a Taoist master a few days ago to dispel bad luck, but he left in a panic as soon as he got to the store.”
“Is it that serious? Then I guess his store is about to shut down.”
“Well, what can you do, but I heard that he went to L Province a few days ago to invite another master. I wonder if it will work this time.”
…
As everyone was discussing, Tang Li, who was standing beside Qi Yihan, smiled and said in a low voice, “I smelt business.”
Boss Zhang quickly saw them walking over and greeted Qi Yihan, “Fourth Master, I didn’t expect you to come to the antique street today.”
Then, he bade farewell to other bosses and was about to leave.
At that moment, Tang Li stopped him. “Mr. Zhang, wait.”
Mr. Zhang stopped and looked at Tang Li in surprise.
Tang Li said, “I happened to be here today to buy antiques, so I wanted to go to your store to take a look.. I wonder if you are available.”
