Chapter 32: Fate? Helping someone to achieve success part 1


After entering the room, a simple and elegant smell of sandalwood assailed her nose. The smell could energize people without them being aware of it.


A man dressed in red was standing by the window, he looked at the scenery outside in a daze. It seemed he didn’t notice them come in.


Mu Zi Ling was the one that broke the silence. She said quietly, “May I ask what did you want me for?”


When the man dressed in red heard Mu Zi Ling’s words, his expressions paused for a bit and then, he slowly turned around.


The man’s voice was gloomy and demonic, “This one's name is Ye Zi Mu. I heard that Young Sir had his eyes on this one’s empty stalls last time. I want to make a deal with Young Sir.”


Mu Zi Ling was a bit surprised when she heard this. How did this guy know that she wanted to buy a shop? Moreover, he came to look for her personally.


This matter was only mentioned once while she, Long Xiao Ze, and Xie were on the streets. No one else knew about this. Could it be Long Xiao Ze who gave it away?


No it can’t be!


Didn’t he say that this mysterious boss didn’t even give the royal family face? Based off Long Xiao Ze’s personality, if it really was him, he would’ve bragged about it excessively in front of her.


When Ye Zi Mu saw that Mu Zi Ling didn’t say anything for a while, it felt like he knew what she was thinking about. Then he said again, “Young Sir, you do not have to be surprised. It was a coincidence that this one listen overheard your conversation with your companion unconsciously.”


Mu Zi Ling still hadn’t opened her mouth yet, but in her head, she had been secretly startled. Where did this guy hear them? Could his ears hear from thousands of miles away?


There were so many people on the streets that day so it had been really loud, yet he could still hear their conversation. Was this guy secretly tailing them?


Back then, Long Xiao Ze had been calling her his Third sister in law. This person definitely knew that she was a female wearing male clothing. He was only acting as if he didn’t know her right now by calling her “Young Sir”.


What was going on? Wasn’t he against selling his shops? Why did he look for her personally now? What was this guy trying to say?



Mu Zi Ling still didn't have any words to say, but Ye Zi Mu didn’t have any traces of impatience. He still continued speaking,


“I’m not sure if Young Sir needs it, but this one has an open shop that he can sell to Young Sir. Please rest assured. This one just want to simply sell a shop. There is no hidden intentions.”


Mu Zi Ling was thinking to herself. The reason he wanted to sell a shop was probably not so simple.


She didn’t answer Ye Zi Mu’s question, instead, she stared blankly at his eyes below the mask. It seemed like she wanted to see something.


While thinking, she curiously asked, “Were we familiar?”


This time, she could see his eyes more clearly than last time. His eyes were very warm, and it felt like she had seen him before.


Ye Zi Mu’s eyes shifted slightly quickly so no one could to catch anything wrong


He laughed and said, “Young Sir, don't be joking around. The only time you’ve met me, was last time at the restaurant. However I’ve seen the Sixth Prince. Was the Third Sister he mentioned...”


Ye Zi Mu’s words successfully reverted Mu Zi Ling’s line of sight.


He had not finished his sentence yet, but Mu Zi Ling understood.


This person really did know that she was a female dressed in male clothes. He even knew her identity. Yet he was still cutting corners by asking her. He didn’t even expose her identity yet. Did this guy have good or bad intentions?


She knew that she had only seen him once last time, however, whenever she saw him, she always had the feeling he seemed familiar but she couldn’t say how. The previous owner of this body had probably seen him before.


It was probably like that! He hadn’t exposed her identity yet, so there was no need for her to admit it so foolishly.


“What does Young Sir think about this one’s idea?” Ye Zi Mu seemed like he wasn’t interested in her identity and changed the topic back to buying a shop.


“It’s true I really want your shops, but I’ve heard that you didn’t sell shops since you didn't like the noise. However right now, you’re willing to sell the shop to me without a cause or reason. Why are you doing this? We don’t even know each other”



Mu Zi Ling opened her mouth curiously. Although she really want the shop here, he was too direct. It made her feel very suspicious.


“This one wasn’t afraid of noise. It was just that he couldn’t find the right buyer. I feel like Young Sir and I have been fated with each other, so I am helping you achieve you goals by selling you the shop.” said Ye Zi Mu dignifying. He made it seem like this was the only reason why he was willing to sell the shop.


Fate? Helping another achieve their goals? Such a farfetched reason! Why did he want to sell her the shop so rashly. Could he be plotting something?


However, the reason she came here was to talk about the matters of the shop. Since he came looking for her, then she didn’t have to go through as much trouble.


She wouldn’t think any more into this. All she had to do was pay off the price and get the land deed. As long as the land deed was authentic, then the shop was her’s. With that, she wouldn’t have to worry about people looking for problems later. In the future, she wouldn’t have to stay in the King’s Manor with nothing to do.


Mu Zi Ling considered it for a bit and then asked, “If I buy the shop, what will be the price?”


“Five hundred thousand.” Ye Zi Mu said these three words so simply.


“Five hundred thousand taels? Alright, deal.” agreed Mu Zi Ling quite frankly.


Five hundred thousand taels was a really cheap price for such a good area. In the future, money would just come flowing in.


When thinking about this, Mu Zi Ling immediately felt good. It seemed like she was running on the road to becoming wealthy.


However she had been too quick to make assumptions. Ye Zi Mu’s upcoming words were like a bucket of cold water, freezing her heart.


“Young Sir, you are misunderstanding. It is five hundred gold, not silver.”


Ye Zi Mu saw Mu Zi Ling’s eyes light up and knew what she was thinking about, so he “kindly” shattered Mu Zi Ling’s dream of earning big money.


“Wha… What? Gold?!” shouted Mu Zi Ling unexpectedly.


She suddenly understood. This wasn’t because of fate, it was because this shop was too expensive, so no one could afford it!
