Chapter 63: 62. Knight Protects the Princess

When Zhang Ran saw Susu dressed, he was stunned for a moment.

If one were to say Zhang Xiaotao was a sunny, brave Knight, then Susu was like a cold, ethereal little fairy.

"Wow, little sister, you're so beautiful!" Taotao said loudly.

His words made Susu feel a bit shy, but it was fleeting; she immediately returned to her cold demeanor, as there were so many outsiders here, and Susu still felt a bit reserved.

Only then did Zhang Ran realize he hadn't brought a camera; he didn't yet have that awareness.

After asking the staff here, there were no cameras for sale, so he could only pick up his phone to take photos of the two little ones.

"Little sister, I am a Knight, I will protect you well." Just as Zhang Ran picked up his phone to help the two little ones take photos, Taotao ran in front of Susu and said.

"Mm, I believe in Brother Taotao," Susu said softly.

Hearing the conversation between the two little ones, a smile couldn't help but appear on Zhang Ran's face.

"Taotao, stand behind Susu, yes, hold the greatsword, keep your gaze firm, your expression serious, yes, just like that," Zhang Ran said, raising his phone toward the two little ones.

Whether it was heaven's favor, the moment Zhang Ran pressed the shutter, a gust of wind suddenly blew around them.

And with Taotao blocking behind Susu, the wind blew Taotao's hair and clothes into a bit of a mess, but Susu was not affected in the slightest.

The moment the image froze, a little boy holding a greatsword stood behind a little girl with a serious expression, while the wind behind them was completely blocked by the little boy.

The little girl just tilted her small face slightly, meeting the bright sunshine!

When Zhang Ran took Susu and the others out, Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu, the couple, had also gone out.

After finishing their call with Wang Jiajia, they arrived at a warehouse together; although it was a warehouse, the renovation looked quite good, and it had a feeling of being cluttered but not messy.

"Teacher Fan, these two are my friends, the necklace is theirs, can you help take a look?" Wang Jiajia said with a smile when she saw Fan Kai.

Fan Kai's eyes lit up; after all these years, he still had an eye for people. Liu Lu and Zhang Sicheng were not wearing any famous brands, and from their matching, it was clear they were nothing special.

"Hello," Fan Kai nodded in acknowledgment.

Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu hurriedly greeted him as well. Seeing this, Fan Kai felt even more settled in his heart; these two didn't look like people who knew their goods.

"Right, before that, I want to ask, is this necklace really yours? Is there any issue with the ownership?" Fan Kai still asked cautiously; he only wanted to earn a middleman's fee and didn't want to get involved in other matters.

Liu Lu hurriedly said, "It is ours, this was a wedding gift from my father-in-law to us."

"That's good, don't take offense, I was just asking. By the way, may I ask how long you have been married?" Fan Kai asked, appearing casual.

"Married for seven years," Zhang Sicheng said honestly.

Hearing this, Fan Kai completely set his mind at ease, then began to carefully examine the necklace, while also signaling the person on the side to take a look together.

This was someone he had specifically invited to appraise the authenticity; the amount this time was quite large, and he was worried about making a mistake. If he suffered a loss, that was minor, but if he angered Ning Qing, that would be a big problem.

Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu were both watching them appraise it nervously; in fact, their own hearts were quite conflicted.

This was a wedding gift from Zhang Ran; if they could, they wouldn't want to sell it.

However, even if they were very willing to live in a simply renovated house, as long as it was their home, they felt panicked inside without money in their hands.

And they actually didn't know if Zhang Ran would agree or not; what if Zhang Ran got angry because of this?

Just as they were nervous, Fan Kai's side reached a conclusion: this was a masterpiece by Master Andrew, and the materials used were quite exquisite, worth a fortune.

Fan Kai was already starting to get excited inside; yesterday Ning Qing offered ten million, he wondered if he could add a little more later.

"Ahem, the item is basically authentic. Yesterday I heard Jiajia say you wanted to sell it, right? It just so happens that a friend of mine is coming over later, she quite likes these things, it should be able to sell for about one million," Fan Kai said.

He directly ignored the part where Wang Jiajia said they needed to consider it at the time.

Hearing this, Wang Jiajia was a bit anxious, "Teacher Fan, this needs to wait, my sister hasn't decided yet."

Hearing her say this, Fan Kai was just about to speak when he heard people walking in, and judging by the sound, there were quite a few of them.

"Ning Jie, you're here," Fan Kai said, his face showing joy upon seeing them.

Ning Qing nodded, then looked at the necklace in Fan Kai's hand, her eyes lighting up instantly; this necklace was even more dazzling than in the photos, and she fell in love with it at first sight.

Seeing Ning Qing's expression, Fan Kai felt a surge of joy; he knew that as long as he helped Zhang Sicheng and the others settle this today, the deal would be done, and he would make a killing.

Just as he was preparing to start winning over Zhang Sicheng and the others, he suddenly heard a voice.

"Cheng, sister-in-law, is it really you?" Meng Mingxuan's voice was a bit surprised; he had actually guessed a bit, but he didn't dare confirm it until he saw them.

Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu didn't expect to run into Meng Mingxuan and Zixuan here, and their expressions were a bit awkward.

Zixuan also spoke up to greet them, but her gaze was relatively complex.

These two people in front of her who looked like ordinary white-collar workers didn't even know themselves that they were not ordinary.

From Huo Zhiyuan, Zixuan learned that Kangshilan was preparing to hand over to Zhang Siyan; thinking about it this way, half of their family's shares would likely fall to Zhang Sicheng in the future.

Thinking of this, Zixuan's mood became even more complex, and at the same time, she had always had an unbelievable guess in her heart; once it was true, then...

"Ming Xuan, Zixuan," Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu greeted them somewhat awkwardly.

Meng Mingxuan asked somewhat puzzled, "Cheng, why are you selling the necklace? Does Zhang Shu know?"

He couldn't quite figure it out.

Zhang Sicheng said somewhat awkwardly, "He doesn't know yet, I was planning to ask him tonight, I wasn't planning to sell it right now. If he doesn't agree, we won't sell it."

"As for why we're selling, isn't it because of the house renovation," Zhang Sicheng said, rubbing his hands somewhat embarrassedly.

And over there, Fan Kai frowned; these two knew each other?

However, he wasn't worried about anything; every trade has its rules. Although he might not count for much in Meng Mingxuan's eyes, and Meng Mingxuan wouldn't care about him, Meng Mingxuan was brought by Ning Qing. If Meng Mingxuan broke the rules, it would be equivalent to slapping Ning Qing in the face, and he didn't believe Ning Qing would just ignore it.
