Chapter 200
Making money was Chenyang’s biggest goal.
But besides making money, he also found himself coveting An An’s long, pale legs.
An An was the fiery type of beauty.
She had large eyes, a high nose bridge, and her lips were painted a vibrant red.
Her ear-length bob made her look exceptionally sharp and capable.
The neckline of her small camisole was very low, revealing most of her full, ample bust.
When she occasionally bent down to adjust the machine, one could glimpse nearly the entire snowy-white vista.
Below that, she wore a pair of ultra-short denim shorts.
When she sat, the shorts could barely cover her plump, shapely rear.
Based on this alone, Chenyang would only give her an eight out of ten.
This was because compared to the other beauties he knew, An An’s facial features and body proportions were a notch below.
But if you considered her legs and small feet, she could absolutely stand shoulder-to-shoulder with stunning women like Liu Yun.
Her small feet were delicate, pale, and tender, as exquisite as two pieces of mutton-fat jade. They were painted with red nail polish, giving them a playful touch that made them all the more charming and seductive.
And those legs—they could definitely be called the most perfect "chopstick legs" Chenyang had ever seen.
They were without the slightest flaw—long, pale, perfectly straight, and shapely.
Their beauty was such that it seemed as if God himself had meticulously carved them while she was still in the womb.
To put it crudely, the moment he saw those legs, his mind was filled with images of hoisting them onto his shoulders and charging forward.
’But this is our first meeting, after all, and we won’t interact beyond buying and selling stones. Sleeping with her is obviously impossible, but getting to touch them a few times... I think that might not be out of the question.’
But in the eyes of others, Chenyang’s thoughts were like a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh.
"You’re scheming to take An An’s money while also thinking about touching her legs? Kid, you must be dreaming, right?"
"Holy shit, what are you smoking? It’s ridiculous enough that you’re having wild fantasies about that worthless rock, but now you’re thinking of touching An An’s legs? Do you think An An’s cutter isn’t sharp enough? Or do you think we’re all brain-dead?"
"Hey, handsome, I strongly and sincerely advise you to go to the hospital and get your head checked. I think you might be delusional!"
"Hey, isn’t that Director Liu from the City Hospital? She’s right here. Let’s have her check this handsome fellow out. The sooner he gets treated, the better. Otherwise, he won’t just be thinking about touching An An’s legs; he’ll be thinking about marrying her."
As the crowd was talking, Liu Yun walked over, carrying a few food containers.
Seeing Chenyang there, she approached curiously. "What’s going on?"
"I bought a stone and think I can cut jade out of it, but they don’t believe me. In fact, they said there’s something wrong with my head and want you to treat me."
Liu Yun’s red lips twitched slightly. "You know about stone gambling?"
"Nope. First time."
"Which stone?"
"This one." An An held the stone up in her palm.
Liu Yun stared at it for a moment, then borrowed a flashlight from someone and shone it on the stone to get a better look.
During this, An An spoke up, "Miss Liu, is this man your friend?"
"Mhm."
"I just tried to convince him that nothing can be cut from this stone, but he absolutely refused to listen. So don’t blame me for selling him a worthless rock."
Hearing this, Liu Yun asked, "How much did you charge him?"
"A hundred yuan!"
"That’s not much. Just consider it an expensive lesson." After returning the flashlight, Liu Yun shook her head at Chenyang. "You won’t get anything out of this stone."
Chenyang said with a straight face, "Sister Liu, trust me this once. It’ll definitely work."
"You..."
Just as Liu Yun was about to continue trying to dissuade him, Chenyang changed the subject. "I’ve already bought it, and I won’t give up until it’s cut open. It’ll only take a few minutes. Just humor me."
"Fine," Liu Yun said helplessly. "An An, go ahead and cut it for him. As you can see, our Xiaochen here won’t give up until he hits a wall."
An An shrugged and smiled. "Alright. It’s just one cut. We’ll do it for the fun of it."
"It can’t just be for fun. Is our bet from earlier still on?" Chenyang asked.
An An scoffed, "It’s on. If you really cut a piece of jade as big as you described, I’ll buy it back from you at twice the market price."
"And the thing about your legs..."
"You can touch them!"
"Deal! Let’s start cutting!"
Seeing Chenyang’s confident expression, An An sneered, then started the machine and began to cut.
At that moment, Liu Yun asked in a low voice, "What’s this about legs?"
"Ahem... This young beauty kept mocking my poor judgment, saying I was just paying tuition by buying this stone. I got annoyed and wanted to teach her a lesson, so I bet that if I won, I could touch her legs a couple of times."
"You rogue! You just finished flirting with my apprentice, and now you’re hitting on An An. How did I never realize what a lecher you are?"
"It’s not lechery, I just wanted to teach her a lesson. Besides, it’s not like I succeeded in flirting with that proud apprentice of yours."
"You..."
"It’s green! It’s green! Holy shit, it’s really showing green!"
Just as Liu Yun was about to say something else, a man beside them suddenly cried out in shock.
The crowd had been certain that there was nothing inside the stone.
So, during the cutting process, most of them hadn’t even bothered to watch, unwilling to waste their time on such a meaningless rock.
But now, as they turned to follow the sound and casually glanced at the green revealed along the edge of the cutting blade, every single one of them instantly wore an expression of utter, disbelieving shock!
