Chapter 40: A Master Among the Common Folk?

Gu Qiaoqiao was startled and looked toward the person behind the counter, asking in surprise, "How do you know? Shouldn't you be asking me what caught my interest?"

The middle-aged man chuckled maliciously, pushing up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, his smile deepening, but he did not contradict Gu Qiaoqiao's statement and seriously asked instead, "Young comrade, could you please tell me what caught your eye?"

Gu Qiaoqiao's suppressed emotions began to improve bit by bit amid the middle-aged man's teasing yet relaxed questioning.

At the same time, she also despised her own stupidity for regarding Bai Yun as her only friend, then being led by the nose by her.

Although the world might be overcast, there was sunshine everywhere as well.

Gu Qiaoqiao's clear eyes turned slightly, thinking that since the middle-aged man had already asked what treasure she wanted to sell, there was no need for further questions.
