Chapter 204: Speechless
As soon as the call connected, Mu Yingzuo asked, "Is there any major construction project going on in Fu Nan Province right now?"
Hearing the question, the assistant replied, "There is a new project in Fu Nan Province, but it’s still in the bidding phase and hasn’t started construction yet."
The assistant paused for a second, then curiously asked, "Boss, are you planning to join the bidding?"
Mu Yingzuo replied, "No."
Without offering further explanation, he ended the call.
Scratching his head in confusion, the assistant muttered, "What is he planning this time?"
While the assistant was still guessing Mu Yingzuo’s intentions, the man himself was deep in thought. A moment later, he sent a message to Bai Hanyun.
[The cement price is 20 yuan per bag, 100 yuan per ton for sand, and 150 yuan per ton for aggregates. If Miss Bai agrees to the pricing, I will arrange delivery immediately.]
Upon receiving the message, Bai Hanyun replied: [Boss Mu, please calculate the total and I will transfer the down payment to you.]
One minute later, a notification popped up on Bai Hanyun’s phone.
Ding~!
She opened the message and read it.
[The price for the cement is 10 million yuan, for the sand is 6.4 million yuan, and for the aggregates is 15.75 million yuan. The total is 32.15 million yuan. Miss Bai, you can transfer the down payment directly to my bank account.]
Seeing that he had also sent his bank details, Bai Hanyun transferred 2.15 million yuan and sent him a screenshot of the transaction.
After accepting the payment, Mu Yingzuo sent another message.
[The amount is large, so I will need to deliver it in batches. The first batch is scheduled for tomorrow morning, and the next one will arrive in the afternoon.]
Since Bai Hanyun didn’t have any other plans the next day besides receiving the goods, she agreed.
[Alright.]
Putting down her phone, Bai Hanyun picked up the antique mirror and saw that the red silk cloth was gone.
Looking at the familiar room reflected in the mirror, Bai Hanyun called out, "Feng Xiyan."
When nobody answered her, Bai Hanyun waited for a moment before she heard footsteps approaching. A few seconds later, Feng Xiyan’s face came into view.
Seeing him, Bai Hanyun called out again, "Feng Xiyan."
Hearing her call, Feng Xiyan paused, then turned to look at the bronze mirror. Seeing that a dim golden light shrouded it, he strode toward the long table where the bronze mirror was placed.
Clasping his fists, Feng Xiyan responded, "Fairy Bai, Xiyan is here."
Noticing his slightly damp hair, Bai Hanyun asked, "Did I disturb you?"
Feng Xiyan paused for a second at the question, then glanced at his hair. Realizing what she means, he smiled and replied, "Fairy Bai will never disturb me. Xiyan just washed off some dust so Xiyan wouldn’t dirty your eyes."
When Bai Hanyun heard this, her gaze fell to Feng Xiyan’s slightly open robe.
As her eyes landed on his well-built chest and muscular frame, she blushed and hurriedly looked away from the antique mirror’s surface.
Coughing lightly to clear her dry throat, Bai Hanyun took a deep breath to calm down before saying, "Feng Xiyan, I have already ordered the glutinous rice, quicklime, cement, sand, and aggregates. The goods will be delivered in batches starting tomorrow morning."
"Since the amount is quite large, you will need to prepare a bigger warehouse. I will have them sent in the morning and afternoon each day. If you are busy with military duties, you can let Feng Wu receive the goods."
After hearing her words, Feng Xiyan felt a little unhappy for no reason. Frowning slightly, he thought, ’Why do I suddenly feel stuffy? Is my old injury relapsing?’
Seeing that he didn’t respond, Bai Hanyun raised her brows slightly and asked with a hint of worry in her voice, "Feng Xiyan, are you alright? Why aren’t you saying anything?"
Snapping out of his thoughts, Feng Xiyan shook his head and replied, "It’s nothing."
After taking a moment to compose himself, he smiled and said, "Fairy Bai, please wait for a moment. I will go get the offerings I prepared for you."
"Alright."
With her agreement, Feng Xiyan left his room.
Watching him walk away, Bai Hanyun rubbed her chin and muttered, "Something is wrong with him just now."
Unable to pinpoint the problem, Bai Hanyun looked at the antique mirror and asked, "Hey, do you know what is wrong with Feng Xiyan just now?"
As she asked this, the antique mirror glowed once, and a word appeared on its surface.
[No.]
Reading the answer, Bai Hanyun rolled her eyes and said, "Yeah, right. What can a mirror know about human emotions? It’s stupid of me to ask you."
A second later, the mirror glowed brighter, and another word appeared.
[You.]
Reading this, Bai Hanyun was confused for a moment before her eyes widened in realization. Grabbing the antique mirror, she shook it and asked unhappily, "Are you saying I’m stupid?"
As if laughing at her, the antique mirror glowed several times before another word appeared on its surface.
[Stupid.]
Seeing this, Bai Hanyun was speechless that a mirror had laughed at her.
"...." Damn it!
While she was bickering with the antique mirror, Feng Xiyan returned with two servants carrying boxes.
"Put those boxes there," Feng Xiyan ordered.
Following his command, the servants placed the boxes on the table.
Once they finished, Feng Xiyan added, "Don’t let anyone in without my permission."
The servants bowed and replied in unison, "Yes, Young Master."
"You may leave."
"Yes, Young Master." They bowed again, then exited the room.
Once the door closed, Feng Xiyan picked up the smallest box and carried it to the bronze mirror.
Opening the wooden box, he showed its contents to Bai Hanyun and said, "Fairy Bai, do you like this set of jewelry? Xiyan thinks you like the previous set of jewelry very much, but the style is a bit old, so Xiyan prepared another set of jewelry for you."
"....." Heavens... I’m afraid I’d be robbed if I dared wear this set of jewelry in public.
