Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 131: Chapter 85: Good Little Liar

As Blake spoke, Lawrence Winters was already secretly observing his facial features.

By the time Blake finished speaking, Lawrence had a bit of an idea.

She gestured to Blake Leaf and said, ”Can you turn around so I can see your back?”

Blake was a bit confused, thinking, do you need to see someone’s back to do a fortune telling?

However, he still followed her instructions, got up, and turned his back to Lawrence.

Lawrence carefully looked at the back of his head, nodded slightly, and said, ”Alright, you can turn around and sit.”

As she spoke, her entire demeanor changed.

The Girl in the Mad World nestled in Joyce Shaw’s arms, stared blankly at Lawrence, thinking that Lawrence might really be well-versed in these esoteric arts.

The Billionaire Sister felt even more complicated. She hoped Lawrence could help Blake find some clues, but the thought of Lawrence finding new clues made her feel uneasy.

Joyce was seeing Lawrence like this for the first time, and he was staring intently, his mouth slightly agape.

Only Kenneth Osborne looked indifferent, lazily leaning back in his chair, taking out his phone to check his emails.

After observing Blake carefully, Lawrence cleared the table in front of her, then took out a small red embroidered fortune bag from her pocket.

She untied the silk cord of the fortune bag and poured out five copper coins into her fair palm, smiling as she said, ”These are the Small Five Emperors Coins: Tranquil Sovereign Era Coin, Prosperous Harmony Coin, Stern Sovereign’s Reign Coin, Radiant Dragon Coin, and Glorious Dynasty Coin. You can pick any three, and I’ll do a fortune telling for you.”

The Girl in the Mad World became interested, sat up straight, and curiously asked, ”Are these real copper coins? I mean, are they real Tranquil Sovereign and Prosperous Harmony era coins?”

”My dad likes to collect ancient coins, but our family isn’t exactly wealthy. My dad said one Tranquil Sovereign era coin almost cost half of our family’s savings and got scolded by my mom.”

Lawrence nodded with a smile, ”Of course I’m using real Five Emperors Coins. I also have a set of Big Five Emperors Coins, which includes Qin Banliang, Han Wu Zhu, Tang Kaiyuan, Song Taiping, and Ming Yongle, and they’re all real.”

”What?! You actually have the real Big Five Emperors Coins? That set is worth quite a lot of money!” The Billionaire Sister’s father was a seasoned outlaw and used to be an expert in wearing the Five Emperors Coins to attract wealth and ward off evil, so she knew how valuable a real set of Big Five Emperors Coins is.

The Girl in the Mad World was even more curious, ”Is it really valuable? How much is it worth?”

The Billionaire Sister thought for a moment, ”If they’re all genuine, selling them could easily buy a three-bedroom apartment within the Third Ring of the Capital City for cash.”

”Wow! Lawrence is discreetly a massive millionaire who casually carries a three-bedroom apartment in the Capital’s Third Ring!” Joyce exclaimed exaggeratedly, giving Kenneth a playful punch on the shoulder, ”Kenneth, you need to work hard to make money! Or you’ll be outdone by Lawrence!”

Kenneth moved his gaze from his phone to Lawrence’s uneasy expression and laughed softly, ”Though I don’t have much money, all of it is liquid assets at my disposal.”

”Someone may be wealthy, but doesn’t have the authority to dispose of it. — Ask her if she dares to sell her Big Five Emperors Coins?”

Before Joyce could ask, Lawrence quickly said, ”No, no! The Big Five Emperors Coins belong to my uncle. I only have the right to use them.”

The Girl in the Mad World shrugged, somewhat disappointed, ”Too bad, I wanted to brag about how rich my roommate is...”

”You share a dorm with the daughter of Central South Province’s The Wealthiest, so there’s no need to underestimate yourself. You can still brag.” Lawrence earnestly winked at her and then extended her hand towards Blake, ”Pick.”

Blake took a deep breath, glanced at the five nearly identical copper coins, and aside from the different inscriptions, everything else looked very similar.

Clearly, they had been used for a long time, the surface polished to a lustrous shine, with the copper color almost glowing with brilliance.

After a little thought, he chose the Tranquil Sovereign Era Coin, Prosperous Harmony Coin, and Radiant Dragon Coin.

Lawrence nodded, put the other two copper coins back into the red embroidered bag, took the three coins Blake had chosen in her hand, shuffled them a few times, then gently tossed them onto the table in front of her.

After tossing them six times, she obtained a hexagram.

Lawrence looked at the hexagram for a while, her beautiful distant mountain brows slightly furrowed.

After a while, she smiled and said, ”This is the fifth hexagram of ’The Book of Changes,’ Gradual Progress Hexagram, with Wind above Mountain below. — Quite interesting.”

No one else in the room understood ’The Book of Changes,’ so no one could tell what was interesting about it.
