Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress

"I remember someone once promised to embroider something for me as a thank you for helping her with her business, but how has this same item now turned into a birthday gift?"

The petty man, Cai Wei internally rolled her eyes and awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth, saying, "I didn’t know today was Big Brother Huo’s birthday, so..."

"So you have no gift and thought to use my thank you as your birthday gift? Let me think...,"

Huo Yuan stroked his chin, looking at her seriously, "No, that wouldn’t do. Wouldn’t that be too easy on you?"

Cai Wei’s face fell, and she looked at him dolefully, "Big Brother Huo, Young Master Huo, you are after all the richest person in the Great Jin Nation, it’s just one gift, can’t you stop haggling with a little girl like me?"

But Huo Yuan shook his head and said solemnly, "Not at all, not at all. A wealthy businessman remains so by minding every detail, never giving up even a little bit of potential profit. If Mr. Huo were not such a person and today gave way to a woman by half, and tomorrow considered giving way to an elder by half, business would be impossible to conduct. Isn’t that right, Younger Sister?"

Seeing that he was not relenting and seemed to persist in requesting another gift before giving up, a sense of frustration welled up in her heart. She glared at him for a long time, and finally, under his faintly trembling thick eyelashes, she saw the playful teasing in his eyes and realized she was being mocked. She couldn’t help but hold her breath, slammed the table with a "snap" and stood up with a "whoosh," "Fine, isn’t it just one gift? I’ll go and buy it for you!"

Having said this, she actually turned and began to walk away.

Seeing her about to leave for real, Huo Yuan hastily got up and took a few quick steps to block her path, laughing, "Never mind, there’s still serious business to attend to. It’s just one gift; it won’t hurt to talk about it tomorrow."

However, Cai Wei was resolute, "No, I must buy Big Brother Huo the gift first today, or I won’t feel at ease!"

After saying this, she walked past Huo Yuan, intending to go out and buy the gift.
