Chapter 981: I Don’t Have Time
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
These were not just rich, respectable people but also antiquarians fanatical about artifacts.
Entering Chen Xiaobei’s garden filled with artifacts and calligraphies, was like walking into a paradise to them. They were all fired up at the sight of this.
“I want this calligraphy! Please accept this Spiritual Stone!”
“I want this vase!”
“I also want that porcelain! I’m willing to pay more Spiritual Stones!”
“That landscape painting is mine! Don’t even think about taking it away from me!”
…
In a blink of an eye, the group of Japanese moneybags were disorderly, elbowing each other to get to the artifacts first. Very quickly, the lower-end antiques were snapped up and were paid for with Spiritual Stones, as requested by Chen Xiaobei.
The few high-end antiquated calligraphies were procured by Amasa Hiko and two other old tycoons. According to his calculations, this artifact trade fair earned him a total of 3,000 Spiritual Stones!
“Woohoo! That’s awesome!” Chen Xiaobei was exhilarated. “To think that I had to work so hard in the martial arts competition to earn 5,000 Spiritual Stones!”
“Today, I was able to earn 3,000 Spiritual Stones by just selling a few items! In fact, that was only a small portion of what I had taken from the Zhuang family’s vault! Other than these artifacts, I still have jewelry, martial art manuals, weapons, armors, and medical ingredients in my treasure chest! If I sell all these, then I would be so damn rich! It seems like plundering the vault is the way to earn big money! When I get back from Japan, I will go take a look at Mount Hua Faction’s vault. After that, I’ll go to the Green Town Faction’s vault!” Chen Xiaobei deliberated. “These two ancient factions’ vault must contain a hundred times more riches than the Zhuangs! Just thinking about it gives me the chills! Hahaha…”
Afterward, the group of moneybags socialized for a while in the garden before they approached Chen Xiaobei to bid him goodbye. Amasa Yuki had to squeeze her way through to stand in front of Chen Xiaobei.
She was tastefully dressed—a blue blazer and a bodycon skirt showed off her beautiful curves.
Under her skirt were a pair of long slender legs clad in black silk socks, which, when paired with a pair of heels, was absolutely alluring!
“Ms. Amasa, is there a problem?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“No… Nothing special.” Amasa Yuki said, “I wanted to ask if you had any time to go shopping with me.”
‘Huh?”
Chen Xiaobei was astonished. He had not thought that Amasa Yuki would take the initiative to ask him out.
Those who were listening were aroused.
“Guys, look! Ms. Amasa asked Mr. Chen out! That’s unthinkable!”
“Yeah! So many of our local top-tier young masters are yearning to go out with Ms. Amasa but they were all rejected!”
“Yeah! A few years ago, Umekawa Neiku was the craziest one! Recently, Umekawa Shichijiro had also racked his head pursuing Ms. Amasa. But they were all rejected!”
“The Umekawa Family is nothing. Several of the princes of the royal chamber pursued her but failed terribly!”
“Ms. Amasa turned down so many powerful men but asked a Chinese boy to go out on a date with her!”
“Chen Xiaobei is so lucky! If he takes this opportunity, he may just become the Amasa Family’s son-in-law. He will definitely have a bright future ahead of him!”
Even though these were all amongst the wealthiest of the wealthy, compared to the Amasa Family, they were subordinates. Watching Chen Xiaobei receive Amasa Yuki’s favor, they all shot admiring glances at Chen Xiaobei.
This chance was as rare as hitting the jackpot!
As everyone anticipated Chen Xiaobei’s delighted answer, Chen Xiaobei gave an answer that shocked them.
“I’m sorry but I’m very busy. I don’t have any time for dates!” Chen Xiaobei answered impassively, “On top of that, I already have a girlfriend. Even if I have the time, I can’t go out shopping alone with you!”
“Am… Am I hearing it wrong? Did you just reject me?”
Amasa Yuki’s beautiful big eyes were filled with surprise. She could not believe her ears.
In Japan, she was the golden bachelorette. She had always been the one to do the rejecting; this was the first time she had ever been turned down!
“What?! Was I imagining things? Mr. Chen said no to Ms. Amasa?”
“Isn’t Mr. Chen too conceited? He’s throwing away a lottery worth a trillion!”
“That’s not nice! Our top-tier young men in Japan are head over heels trying to win over Ms. Amasa but this Chen guy dismissed her like she was nothing! That’s such an insult!”
Those present became very worked up.
To them, Chen Xiaobie’s actions were imperious and offensive and they were incensed, their impression of Chen Xiaobei suffered.
That was not Chen Xiaobei had intended, it was the truth. He really had a lot to do: he had to send Jiang Ziya to the shoot, attend the Saturn Peach Feast seven days later and then the wedding of the crown prince on the thirteenth day.
One event after another, absolutely jam-packed.
How could Chen Xiaobei drop all that just to meet a Japanese girl he had only known for two days?
In fact, Chen Xiaobei had no interest in this girl at all.
In the eyes of most men, this girl was like the stars in the sky, and the most elegant goddess. They could only dream about being with her. But to Chen Xiaobei, the Goddess Chang’e in the sky and the mighty reincarnated Wu Zetian were the women that he could contact anytime. When you compare the both of them, Yuki was only but the granddaughter of a tycoon, nowhere nearly as remarkable.
Chen Xiaobei could not be bothered to explain, he didn’t need to win the favor of these Japanese so he ignored their comments. “Cangjing, Tanaka, show everyone out. I’m going back to rest.”
“This bastard is so rude!”
“We are all men of high ranking and status. How could he treat us so neglectfully!”
“F*cker! I won’t buy anything from him anymore!”
The crowd was very unhappy. They all looked like they were ready to sever all relations with Chen Xiaobei and they marched out of the garden.
Amasa Hiko was also not very pleased. He shouted for Amasa Yuki and was ready to take their leave.
“You are not allowed! This is private property! You cannot enter!”
It seemed like there were intruders trying to get into the garden!
