Chapter 55: Chapter 55: He Doesn’t Even Know How to Bargain

She was in luck, this time the boss spoke Mandarin. He smiled and said, “Miss has a good eye, 1 also like these stud earrings a lot, even planned to keep them for myself. But since you’ve taken a fancy to them, 1’11 sell them to you. A pair for 80.”

8o… Chi Enen bit her lip. It was about the price she had anticipated, but she still put the earrings down and started to haggle with the boss, “Boss, 8o is too expensive, can you lower it a bit? If you do, 1’11 buy them.”

Li Beijue frowned slightly, subconsciously wanting to pay for her. Chi Enen knew he would ruin her bargaining, so she quietly stretched out her hand and grabbed his, subtly shaking her head at him.

…What was this woman up to?

Chi Enen held him back and hurried to bargain, “Boss, a bit less please. It’s my first time traveling abroad, and I didn’t bring much money. I still want to buy some other things to take back. If you sell it for 8o, then 1 won’t be able to buy anything else.”

The boss looked troubled, “But miss, I’m really giving you a very good price.”

“I see, then I will have to pass.” Chi Enen said with a face full of regret as she pulled Li Beijue forward…

After only a few steps, she felt herself being pulled back.

Startled, she looked up to find the man with a stern face pulling her, seemingly wanting to go back.

“Li Beijue, what are you doing?”

“You liked those earrings, didn’t you? Why are you leaving? 1’11 buy them for you.” His woman shouldn’t have to give up a pair of earrings even if they cost 80.

Chi Enen, with a pained expression, tugged at him, not letting him go back, “I wasn’t going to leave. 1 was just…”

“Just what?” Li Beijue said, his face taut, his noble eyes fixing on her.

All at once, Chi Enen didn’t know how to explain to him that this was just a bargaining tactic.

Luckily, at that moment, the boss called out to them. FOlloow 𝒏ewest stories at n𝒐(v)el/bi/n(.)com

“Miss, wait. 1’11 let you have them for 6o! 1 can’t go lower than 6o. If you like them, take them. If you still find it expensive, then we’ll have to forget it.”

Chi Enen let out a sigh of relief and, delighted, pulled him back. As they walked, she softly explained, “You don’t know, these roadside stalls usually allow haggling. The boss knows these tactics too; when they quote a price, it’s often higher than what they’re willing to sell for. If they meet someone who doesn’t haggle, they earn more by selling at the quoted price. But if they meet someone who knows the ropes, they have room to drop the price. So, when you’re buying things in places like this, never agree to the first price the boss quotes, you have to bargain with them. If they won’t budge, just act like you’re about to leave. Usually, the boss will lower the price a little to make the sale.”

Li Beijue listened to her list of bargaining skills, feeling a twinge of heartache. What kind of life had she been living these past few years to know so much? He would rather she knew nothing than to know everything.

Chi Enen, oblivious to his thoughts, gave the boss 6o bucks and happily took the earrings.

Anxin loved simple small ornaments, and these pearl earrings were just perfect. She would surely like them.

Having accomplished her main task for today, Chi Enen felt even more relaxed. She contentedly strolled through the Night Market with the man beside her.

One good thing about the Night Market is that it has everything and lacks nothing.

Food, drinks, entertainment, you can only fail to imagine it; there’s nothing you can’t find at the Night Market.

Chi Enen enjoyed herself eating and drinking her way through the market, snapping up quite a few trinkets.

“What’s that?”

Just as she was about to call it a day and head back, she suddenly noticed a crowd of people up ahead, seemingly rushing to buy something amazing. Her eyes lit up as she tugged at Li Beijue and ran towards the excitement, “Li Beijue, let’s go check it out..”
