Chapter 212 It Depends What You Are Willing to Give

If it were in the past, she would have found a reason to refuse.

However, Ye Hanting is now both a teacher and a friend to her.

She may not go to other people’s invitations, but she must go to Ye Hanting’s.

Chu Li came to Zuixian Tower, and Chi Yan was already waiting for her downstairs.

Nowadays, Chi Yan is becoming more and more popular.

"Your Highness, please go upstairs. The master is waiting for you."

Chu Li followed him to the third floor and saw Ye Hanting drinking tea by the fire.

"Sir!" Chu Li walked briskly.

Ye Hanting looked back and their eyes met. Chu Li saw that he was wearing a smoky blue long gown with wide sleeves and a straight hem. His black hair was tied behind his head with a white jade hairpin, and his light azure gauze dress gave him an ethereal air.

Chu Li seemed to see the handsome man in the painting. She gave him a thumbs up and praised him, "Sir, your clothes look really nice today."

Ye Hanting raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Sit down."

Chu Li sat opposite Ye Hanting and took the candied green plums in front of him and ate them.

Chi Yan was observing in the dark and thought, wow, the master is really well-intentioned. Knowing that the prince likes to eat candied green plums, he always buys the largest and freshest ones with the cores removed.

"Sir, is there anything you want to talk to me about today?" Chu Li asked while eating.

Ye Hanting poured her a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Chu Li.

Chu Li took a sip of the tea and praised, "The taste of Wuyi Rock Tea is getting better and better."

Ye Hanting smiled, "Otherwise, I could get a dividend of 5,000 taels of silver this month."

Chi Yan pricked up his ears. Five thousand taels of silver was a drop in the ocean for his master, but for him, it was a huge sum of money.

Chu Li smiled proudly, "If it weren't for the teahouse and restaurant that helped me sell them at a good price, I probably wouldn't have made so much money."

Ye Hanting stared at her hand holding the cloud cake, "You even know all this?"

Chu Li smiled like a lucky cat, "Guess, what is the reason why the gentleman is looking for me?"

Ye Hanting stared at her and said, "I asked you to come here today just to drink tea and have a meal, nothing else."

Chu Li was a little confused. Ye Hanting rarely acted like this. Could it be that he was in a good mood today?

"Is there any happy event today?" Chu Li started eating amber peach kernels.

Ye Hanting pushed all the snacks in front of Chu Li and said, "Today is my birthday."

Hey, what a coincidence! Chu Li thought to herself, today is the hundredth day of her two little kids, and it is also Ye Hanting’s birthday, what a good day.

"I wish you a long life and good health!" Chu Li picked up a plate of candied fruit, "I wish you a sweet and happy life in the future!"

Then she picked up the hawthorn cake and said, "I wish you success in your career!"

Then she brought up the dried persimmons and peanut candy, "May good things happen to you every day!"

Ye Hanting looked at Chu Li's sparkling eyes and smiling lips, wondering where did this girl get so many strange things from.

However, he was still very satisfied with Chu Li's unique blessing.

He could see that Chu Li was really relaxed and happy today.

Chi Yan was also confused by Chu Li's actions. The prince was really a wonderful person.

Without spending a penny, he took the snacks bought by his master and, with a few words, he made his master very happy.

Tsk tsk tsk, the master's IQ seems to be gradually deteriorating since he met the prince.

Chu Li was originally feeling embarrassed for not bringing any gifts, but he didn't expect the situation to be resolved so easily.

Chu Li silently gave herself a thumbs up in her heart. Hey, she is worthy of it!

Unexpectedly, Ye Hanting suddenly leaned back in his chair and said, "Your Highness, today is my birthday after all. I have been preparing for this for so long just because I want a gift."

Chu Li smiled awkwardly. It was indeed the treacherous minister that she was familiar with.

Now that they are so familiar with each other, Ye Hanting actually wants to ask her for a birthday present?

Chu Li held up his chin and asked, "What gift do you want, sir?"

Ye Hanting was very secretive and said, "It's boring for me to ask for it. It depends on what you are willing to give."

Chu Li was quite unwilling to cooperate with this blatant solicitation of bribes.

But who can blame Ye Hanting for being so handsome?

How could she have the nerve to reject a good-looking man!

Chu Li thought for a moment and said, "How about this, sir? Let's go shopping together. I'll buy anything you like."

Without waiting for Ye Hanting's response, she immediately added, "Don't give more than 10,000 taels of silver. Money is tight lately!"

Seeing how stingy she was, Ye Hanting thought that ten thousand taels of silver must be the upper limit of the gift Chu Li could give her.

He leaned forward, staring at Chu Li's beautiful almond-shaped eyes with his eyes like vast stars, and asked, "If your uncle has a birthday, how much silver will you limit?"

Chu Li immediately stretched out a finger, and Ye Hanting's heart instantly turned cold.

This girl is very calm.

Unexpectedly, Chu Li said, "One thousand taels, no more!"

She and Mu Feng are family, so what gift did she need to give? She had borrowed the one thousand taels of silver from Mu Feng.

It seemed that she had not paid him back yet, what a sin. Chu Li decided to pay Mu Feng back with interest another day.

When Ye Hanting heard this, his cold heart instantly warmed up.

He continued to ask unwillingly: "What if it's your childhood friend Pei Ye?"

Chu Li sneered, "I'll give him a slap!"

Ye Hanting smiled and felt relieved. It seemed that he was still relatively important in Chu Li's mind.

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere." Ye Hanting stood up and said.

"Where are you going?" Chu Li followed happily.

"It's a rare sunny day today, the weather is nice, let's go boating on the lake." Ye Hanting picked up a dark jade purple fox fur cloak with cattail pattern and put it on Chu Li.

Chu Li looked at the expensive fur coat and said with emotion: "Where did you order this fox fur coat? It's warm and beautiful."

"It just happened to be a small one, so I'll give it to you." Ye Hanting said casually.

"Sir, you are so generous. Thank you very much!" Chu Li smiled brightly.

She was just thinking of doing something, and hey, what she thought came true, today was a good day.

Ye Hanting walked behind her and saw that Chu Li looked very fit in the fox fur coat. His eyes became gentle.

Chi Yan covered his face and looked at his master's birthday performance today. Not only did he not see any gifts, but he also got a new fox fur coat and several snacks as compensation.

It's really a knife to pull the butt, it opened my eyes!

When Chu Li and Ye Hanting got on the cruise ship, Chu Li sat in front of the window. It was warm inside the cruise ship. She looked at the scenery along the coast and was in a very happy mood.

Ye Hanting gently shook the wine glass with his slender fingers and asked, "What gift would you like for your birthday, Your Highness?"

"I want to see fireworks!" Chu Li blurts out.

Seeing Ye Hanting sitting there thinking about something as if he hadn't heard her, she asked, "How about I set off fireworks for you today?"

Ye Hanting smiled faintly, "What kind of man would do such a boring thing."

Chu Li narrowed her eyes. She was just speaking casually.

Ye Hanting is so boring. No one knows which girl will marry him in the future. Their lives will definitely lack interest!
