The shopkeeper, a plump man with a calculating gaze, almost tripped over his own robes in his haste to comply. "R-Right away, Young Lord! Right away!"
Bai Yunxian spun around, his eyes wide. Because he turned so quickly, his nose nearly brushed against Yun Shu's chin.
He gasped, stepping back, his face instantly flooding with a brilliant, burning shade of crimson.
"M-My Lord! The entire stock? That will cost thousands of gold taels! It's too much. I only need a few sheets!"
Yun Shu tilted her head, a slow, devastatingly handsome smirk curving her lips. She took a single step forward, crowding him against the display counter.
Again, she didn't touch him, but her spatial dominance was absolute. She trapped him purely with her presence.
"Did I not tell you?" she murmured, her dark eyes entirely focused on his flustered, blushing face. "I don't care about the price. If it helps you, I will buy the entire shop. Or are you trying to reject your husband's goodwill?"
