The runaway wife of the president of the empire

401. Congratulations, Beitang Jing

"For me, it's a bit expensive!" Mu Yiyi smiled, turned and left the counter.

Walking out of the jewelry store, it was still early, and the two women were wandering on the streets of Rome, followed by several tall bodyguards.

There are many narrow and classic-looking alleys in Rome, with the mottled walls, it looks very worn out.

Most of the buildings here are in very retro colors, retro orange, red, yellow, beige, etc., and on the window sill, there are bright flowers blooming on the roadside, colorful but not ostentatious, warm and not dazzled.

"Yiyi, Weixi won't follow you unless you come out with me. Leon said you don't like Weixi following."[

Mu Yi was stunned for a moment, did Lei Yiyang mean to help her leave when he said to help her?

If you want to leave, you must first find a way to avoid Weixi.

Thinking about whether he was still struggling to leave or not, Mu Yiyi felt very uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" LiLi asked.

"Nothing? Go check out this store!" Mu Yiyi stepped into an exquisite street shop.

There are a wide variety of products in the small shop, and the most eye-catching ones are the retro-style trinkets packed in exquisite small boxes.

"Two beautiful ladies, what do you want to buy?" The tall and thin shopkeeper asked with a polite smile.

"Cufflinks, this lady wants to buy a pair of special cufflinks!" Lili knew that Mu Yiyi couldn't understand Italian, so she answered for her.

"Special?" The owner smiled happily, "Wait!"

He turned around and took out a small carved wooden box from the display cabinet behind him, then gently opened it: "See if you like it?"

Mu Yiyi looked up and saw a pair of exquisite classical silver topaz cufflinks lying in the box. The workmanship was exquisite and the carvings were intricate, which reminded her of the necklace she had lost.

And yellow crystals, although not as good as fancy vivid yellow diamonds, have the same effect.

"Miss, this pair of cufflinks has a history of more than 200 years. According to legend, its original owner was a duke..."

"Duke?" The store owner's deliberate promotion made Lili chuckle softly.

"Really, what kind of Duke is it?" The shopkeeper frowned, thinking hard.

"Yiyi, do you like it? If not, go to another place!" LiLi pulled Lamu Yiyi's arm.

"Ah! It turns out that this lady is from ancient China. Then, I can transfer this pair of cufflinks with a story to her at a very favorable price!" The shopkeeper can't understand Chinese, but he knows which country that language comes from.

"Story? What story?" LiLi became curious about the story told by the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper looked down at the cufflinks inside the box, and said slowly: "These cufflinks were originally a gift from the duke's first love when he was young, but because of some accident, the duke couldn't marry this girl in the end, and the two of them couldn't marry each other. Lost contact. Many years later, at a masquerade ball, the girl saw the pair of cufflinks on the Duke's cuffs and recognized him. From then on, they lived happily together! Think! If Without this pair of cufflinks, wouldn't two people who love each other miss out again?"[

Although LiLi felt that the story was a bit false, she was moved by the shopkeeper's affectionate explanation due to her sentimental nature.

So, she turned her head and told Mu Yiyi the story again in Chinese.
