Chapter 199: What exactly do you want from me?
Jiang Huai was aware of the gimmicks of Ziyun Pavilion.
Ziyun Pavilion had been open for many, many years, existing in this world for centuries. Many of the dresses they sold were styles from his past life’s memories, which meant that Ziyun Pavilion likely also had a transmigrator like him. Jiang Huai was somewhat familiar with these marketing tactics. Giving Chu Xianning dresses was not only to curry favor with her but also because of her reputation. If she wore Ziyun Pavilion’s dresses, then surely many female cultivators would follow suit.
Jiang Huai remembered that Ziyun Pavilion had once sent someone to ask for Chu Xianning’s opinion. As long as Chu Xianning agreed, Ziyun Pavilion would send her the new styles of each season. However, Chu Xianning always disliked accepting gifts from others and would coldly refuse.
Now, seeing Chu Xianning wearing this cheongsam, huh, it actually looked quite nice.
Jiang Huai took a second glance but quickly averted his eyes, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with how Chu Xianning’s eyes seemed less cold than usual today.
What should he be doing at this time on a regular day?
Should he be wagging his tail at Chu Xianning, saying how nice the weather is today, how beautiful she looks in her outfit, and suggesting a walk around the sect?
Those words had already popped into his head just now, but he swallowed them back down.
No, Jiang Huai, you can’t.
You’re not a master of love; no matter how hard you try, you can only slightly stir Chu Xianning’s heartstrings. Yet you expect too much, and the disappointment that follows unmet expectations leads to a vicious cycle.
But if you were truly a master of love, with all those despicable tactics to make someone fall for you, would you still love Chu Xianning if you used those tactics on her?
