The Tycoon's Enchanted Mermaid-Chapter 131 - : Museum Encounter
Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Museum Encounter
Qin Yu didn’t respond, his dark eyes deeply gazing at her, and Ah Da wasn’t quite sure what he meant.
She just felt him watching her constantly, which made her start to feel nervous, her heartbeat accelerated, and her cheeks turned somewhat hot.
Throughout the journey in the carriage, no words were exchanged. When they arrived at the museum, Qin Yu led the way out of the car. The originally slight grasp of hand had transformed into a firm hold, with Ah Da being led out.
Today there seemed to be no queue outside the museum; two tall men in suits stood at the ticket point, one of whom Ah Da recognized as Long Qi.
As Qin Yu approached, they both said in unison,
“Third Young Master.”
Qin Yu nodded.
Long Jiu said, “Third Young Master, the person in charge of the museum, Liu Cheng, knew you were coming and deliberately limited the flow of visitors today.”
Hearing this, Ah Da finally understood why there weren’t many people around even though it was close to noon; it was indeed due to the museum controlling the number of visitors.
Qin Yu, with Ah Da in tow, moved towards the interior, where they were greeted by a crowd at the entrance, the leading man smiling as he said,
“Mr. Qin, you’re here, this way please.”

Ah Da and Qin Yu were escorted inside.
Just as Long Qi was about to follow, Long Jiu grabbed his shoulder with one hand, “Is she the one who’s been by the Third Young Master’s side?”
Turning around, Long Qi said with a hint of puzzlement, “Who else could it be? The Third Young Master isn’t exactly someone who accepts just anyone.”
“She looks… different than I expected,” Long Jiu furrowed his brow. He had thought the Third Young Master would prefer women who were intellectually mature, considering his attitude at work was to promote anyone with strong capabilities.
The nature of the Third Young Master seemed to favor strong women too, yet here he was with such a young girl. It’s not that the young girl was bad, but standing next to the Third Young Master, there seemed to be a disparity.
A disparity in every aspect, especially their aura.
Long Jiu couldn’t understand at the moment.
“I’m telling you, you don’t get it,” Long Qi spread his hands, smiling, “Actually, I don’t understand either, but all I see is that the Third Young Master has been treating her better and better, to quite an exaggerated extent. Unless there’s a surprise, she will be the future mistress of the Qin family, the lady boss of the Qin enterprises.”
Recalling the girl led by the Third Young Master whom he had just seen, her delicate, pale features were indeed unforgettable, petite and pretty with clear, beautiful eyes like stars hidden in her bright, round eyes, she looked innocent and immature.
Standing next to the Third Young Master, there really was an age gap, though today the Third Young Master wasn’t dressed formally.
Long Jiu gravely said, “Given the Third Young Master’s serious attitude towards relationships, marrying her is just a matter of time, but I don’t understand how this girl came to be by the Third Young Master’s side; I feel like she suddenly appeared. Has her background been thoroughly investigated?”
The girl seemed artless, but one could not be too careful, Long Jiu wasn’t sure where the girl had popped up from; she might be a part of some trap set by an opponent.
Hearing this, Long Qi was somewhat speechless: “Only the Third Young Master knows her background. If he’s willing to keep her by his side, it means he trusts her. Why obsess over this?”
Watching Long Jiu’s furrowed brow, Long Qi sighed and slung an arm around his neck.
“Also, have you forgotten what I told you earlier?”
“What?”
Long Qi smiled, “I’ve seen with my own eyes how she turned into a tiny person the size of a palm on Lingcheng Mountain. Isn’t that magical?”
Long Jiu gave him a sidelong glance: “You’re not joking, are you?”
“Who’s joking with you? I don’t have the leisure to joke around with you, everything I said is true, I’ve seen it with my own eyes.”
“This… then she is…” Long Jiu was even more unable to understand, did it mean that the girl was not a normal human being?
Long Qi patted his shoulder, “You don’t need to make a fuss, Third Young Master doesn’t care, and moreover, she’s quite nice. You just saw how Third Young Master protects her like something precious.”
Long Jiu thought about it and agreed, “As long as Third Young Master is happy.”
“That’s the point, isn’t it? For so many years no one has been able to enter Third Young Master’s heart, finally there’s someone, and I think she’s quite good.” Long Qi turned around, “Let’s go in as well.”
Long Jiu scratched his head and followed.
Ah Da and Qin Yu strolled through the corridor of the museum, with the director of the museum, Liu Cheng, and a group of people following alongside, smiling as he introduced some of the museum’s treasures.
“Mr. Qin, this is a Heavenly Blue Glaze tripod platter from the Song Dynasty. Ru Porcelain is generally thin in body but thick in glaze, giving it a jade-like texture, and its shape looks quite solemn and generous.”
“This is a Green Jade artifact…”
“The one next to it is thousand dragon jade, it was lent to Mei City next door a few days ago, it might only return next month, I’m very sorry.”
Qin Yu’s expression was very muted, but Ah Da listened with great interest, sometimes even stopping to take a closer look.
On her previous visits, she had always rushed directly to talk with Little Pink Bottle and Jade Pot, and never really looked at the items in the museum. Today, walking slowly and observing everything, it was truly stunning.
Perhaps it was the lighting and the environment, but all the antiques looked especially clear and beautiful. Unlike the jade and bronze artifacts in Xiling, these porcelain pieces varied in color, like the dreamy, hazy clouds on the horizon, a different kind of beauty.
From the moment he stepped outside, the director had been paying close attention to the young lady beside Qin Yu. He had received the news last night that Qin Yu would be visiting today and was instructed to treat the guest well.
Initially, he was puzzled, wondering why a business mogul like Qin Yu would suddenly come to view antiques in a museum, could it be to immerse in the aura of history and art?
It was only at this moment that he realized, Qin Yu was here to spend time with his girlfriend. From the moment they got out of the car to the moment they entered, he hadn’t let go of her hand. Liu Cheng, sensitive to details, immediately focused his attention on the woman.
Seeing the young lady examining a pink porcelain bowl, Liu Cheng immediately bent down and quietly asked.
“Miss, is there anything you need clarification on?”
Upon hearing this, Ah Da straightened up and shook her head.
The group continued forward. Although the museum restricted the number of visitors today, there were still quite a few people scattered around. Each time they entered a new section, onlookers cast curious glances.
A woman approached, her black hair meticulously combed into a neat low bun, pinned in the middle with a hairpin, wearing a deep green cheongsam, elegantly slinging a beige bag over her arm, exuding a refined aura.
With surprise on her face, she spoke.
“Qin Yu, what are you doing here?”
Qin Yu, with his cold and handsome features, showed no surprise, only nodding politely, “Auntie.”
Ah Da was surprised, her eyes widened. Was this beautifully elegant woman Qin Yu’s relative?
