Warmth (1st Update)

Prince Ning was pondering whether he should raise the bid or not.

Why was he still thinking about it? It wasn't that he couldn't afford the price, but rather because the young man didn't play by the rules, he felt it was pointless to continue the negotiation.

Although he was considering not increasing the bid for this reason, it was inevitable that some might suspect he was too stingy to raise the bid, and the embarrassing feeling of being dominated by the phrase "Are you going to buy me a mansion?" crept up on him again.

It was their first meeting, and the young boy's demonstrated abilities and the mutual trust they had didn't justify the price of a mansion, yet in the end, it always seemed to give the wrong impression that Prince Ning himself was too miserly to afford the mansion.

Prince Ning, who had lived for more than twenty years, was experiencing this situation of reluctance to move forward but feeling frustrated to back down for the first time.
