“I dislike this game already… you suck, Handsome Su.” Little Bean pouted.

“I’m in! I love games where my IQ is tested…” Pudding’s att.i.tude was completely different from Little Bean’s and was happy to play along.

“Who wants to go first?” Su Yu smiled mysteriously.

“Is it jewelry?” Little Bean asked.

“How lame,” Pudding immediately commented.

“Could it be… pork hocks or something delicious?” Little Bean’s eyes shone as she thought of food.

“Um… pork hocks? What kind of gift is that? Little Bean… you’re weird.” Su Yu was speechless.

“Electronics?” Pudding asked calmly, and Su Yu shook his head.

“Handsome Su, is it a musical instrument?” Little Bean asked, and Su Yu shook his head some more.

The twins guessed six or seven times but the only thing Su Yu did was shake his head.

Finally, the twins admitted defeat…

“Sis, let’s just give up, what do you think?” Little Bean sighed.

Pudding didn’t respond. After some thought, she suddenly thought of something. “Handsome Su, can we ask for help?”

“Oho? You want to ask for help? You really have a lot of ideas.” Su Yu dotingly pinched Pudding’s little cheek.

“Can I?” Pudding asked cutely.

“Sure, who do you want help from?” Su Yu turned around with a smile and glanced over at Huo Mian, Huo Mian’s mother, his mother, his father, and his grandpa.

“Mommy, can you help us?” Pudding tilted her head and decided to ask Huo Mian for help.

“Isn’t it cheating if I help you?” Huo Mian chuckled.

“It isn’t, Handsome Su said it’s okay…” Pudding emphasized.

“But the problem is, will you guess right? What if you’re just as clueless as we are…” Little Bean was unsure and didn’t seem to have a lot of confidence in their mom.

“How old do you think I am? Four?” Huo Mian walked over with a smile. Then, she glanced over at Su Yu. “Your business trip was in Jiangzhou, right?”

“Mhm.” Su Yu nodded.

“Jiangzhou’s four local delicacies are porcelain, silk, marinated duck tongue, and black tea,” Huo Mian slowly said.

“So, what do you think I bought them?” amused, Su Yu asked Huo Mian.

“Porcelain pieces are pretty and expensive, but they’re not easy to preserve, so I don’t think you’d give them porcelain as presents… Marinated duck tongues are delicious, but they’re too cheap and doesn’t seem like something you would buy. Black tea from that area may be rare, but the twins don’t like tea… so I think you bought them something made of silk…”

“d.a.m.n, are you the new Sherlock Holmes?” Su Yu laughed as he listened to Huo Mian’s deduction.

However, she had more to say. “You can make a lot of things with silk, like handkerchiefs and fans. But… they’re such small items that you probably won’t make presents out of them… I heard Jiangzhou is home to the Hu Family, who have been hand-making silk items since the Ming Dynasty. I heard a lot of officials from Jing City travel all the way to Jiangzhou every year just to buy handmade qipaos from the Hu Family… so, Young Master Su, that’s what you did, right? You made them qipaos from the silk you bought?”

Upon hearing Huo Mian’s conclusion, Su Yu froze in surprise.
