THE BET

"What look?"

"Someone who wants to buy the finest beef from the shop to have a feast," Xue Lin answered.

It wasn't her first time getting this look. 

The moment she turned eighteen, the neighboring aunties looked at her that way for their potential daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law position.

Since this grandfather was giving off the same vibe, she just kindly told him beforehand that he was wasting his time on her.

"I don't know what you are saying," Elder Yoshida feigned ignorance. 

'This girl is married?! She looks like a middle schooler,' he thought.

"Hmm," Xue Lin stared at him for a while and then said, "I apologize for my mistake." 

Then, she looked at Sakura and said, "Let's go somewhere else."

"Okay!" Sakura agreed. She once again glanced at the elder with concern. "Be good, gramps and go home. What will happen if you get sick when no one is around?"

"…" Elder Yoshida stared at her without a word.
