Old Man Bao led the two men to another room, which was filled with finished furniture. He walked to a cabinet, took the jewelry box from the top, and placed it on a table.

Wu Sicheng said, "Open it and see if you like it."

The jewelry box appears to have five layers, and the entire box is decorated with bas-reliefs of magpies perched on branches, as well as colorful paintings, making it exceptionally beautiful.

An Moxue looked around, then opened the box again. Layer by layer, she could see where the necklace was and where the ring was.

As she looked through it, Wu Sicheng said, "There's no built-in mirror inside because I felt that the folding mirror in the box was more practical and convenient than the one we have now, so I changed it to hold a necklace. What do you think?"

An Moxue happily closed the box and said, "I like it very much." As she spoke, she stroked the exquisite patterns on the box.

Wu Sicheng picked up the box and asked Old Man Bao, "Uncle Bao, when will the furniture be finished?"

Old Man Bao said, "Five days! After the last coat of paint is applied, it needs to dry completely before it can be moved."

"Okay, I'll find a car to pick up the things later. We'll be going now." With that, he took the box, led An Moxue out.

When the two of them came out, the sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow shone on them, as if they were plated with a layer of gold, making them feel warm and cozy.

After getting into the car, An Moxue asked, "Where are we going next?"

Wu Sicheng teased her, "Haven't you had enough time with me yet? I thought you were going home!"

An Moxue rolled her eyes at him, saying sarcastically, "I want to go home with you, okay? How boring."

"Alright! Since Miss An has made a request, I'll grant your wish and take you home!"

An Moxue asked suspiciously, "Don't you have anything else to do? Are you so free tonight?"

"I'm going back to school tomorrow morning, so you can have any time from tonight until tomorrow morning, how about it?" The first sentence was very serious, but the second sentence made one wonder what was going on!

"Do you want to be Paul? A warrior of steel who never needs to rest, I admire you." An Moxue deliberately misinterpreted his words, making Wu Sicheng laugh out loud.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Are you looking for death? What's so funny?" An Moxue raised her fist in threat.

He laughed even harder when he saw her angry and embarrassed expression.

The car drove away, but the laughter and chatter inside lingered far and wide.

Wu Sicheng drove An Moxue back to his courtyard house. As soon as the car stopped, An Moxue looked at him incredulously, as if she were looking at a heartless man.

Taking advantage of her inattention, he reached out and ruffled her hair a few times, making it a bit messy and giving her a more down-to-earth and adorable look. He said, "Here's your last gift for today. I'll practice with you a little longer." Then he quickly got out of the car. "Come on, or the gift will be gone!"

"What a despicable act! He even dared to threaten me! How pathetic! If a fight breaks out, who knows who will be the one to fight whom!" An Moxue said, getting out of the car and following her inside.

Wu Sicheng suddenly stopped, turned around, and said, "I heard you talking about me."

An Moxue said arrogantly, "What's wrong with me talking to you? Can't I even say a few words?"

Wu Sicheng laughed out loud, the sound spreading from his chest to his whole body.

"What are you laughing at?" An Moxue asked, puzzled, seeing his bewildered expression.

He wouldn't tell her that he was laughing because she was more at ease in his presence than before, something she hadn't even noticed. Indeed, it's true that two people need to get to know each other better over time.

He took her hand and said seriously, "Of course, I'm very happy to be with you today."

She looked at his face for a second, then replied, "Oh!" I don't believe you for a second.

The two entered the house hand in hand. Wu Sicheng went to the study, turned around and took out a box, handed it to An Moxue, and said, "Look, the moment I saw it, I felt it was a perfect match for you."

An Moxue held the box but didn't open it. Instead, she asked, "What?"

He encouraged, "Open it and take a look."

An Moxue lowered her head, opened the box, and saw a phoenix hairpin with outstretched wings placed inside. The phoenix's eye was a red ruby.

She carefully took out the gold hairpin, examined it closely, and said, "According to the specifications, this should be the hair ornament made for the Empress. Where did you find it? The eyes are so lifelike. This old craftsmanship is truly exceptional."

"That family used to specialize in making court jewelry. They suffered a disaster, but now they've been exonerated. They don't want to stay in mainland China anymore and want to go to Hong Kong, so they sold this hairpin as travel expenses. You can wear it without worry; it's a new one, no one has worn it before."

Upon hearing his words, An Moxue exclaimed in surprise, "Royal craftsmen?"

"It should be."

An Moxue asked with interest, "Have they left?"

"No, but it will be soon."

She pressed further, "Does he know this skill?"

Yes, and very skillfully at it.

"Give me an address. I can't let such a talented person slip away. I need to bring him under my wing."

Wu Sicheng chuckled to himself, "Miss An, you've inadvertently revealed yourself in front of me again."

“Okay, you wait.” Wu Sicheng said, and went to the study to write down a very detailed message for An Moxue.

An Moxue received the address and said excitedly, "I'll go tomorrow."

Wu Sicheng chuckled, "I thought you were going to say you'd go right away!"

An Moxue said somewhat exaggeratedly, "How could that be? Didn't you say you would practice with me for a while? It doesn't have to be long, just half an hour to an hour will do."

As she walked out, she said, "I'm going to change my clothes. You should go too. We'll meet in our courtyard in a bit."

Wu Sicheng watched her retreating figure, feeling a sense of accomplishment. "Good!"

He was overjoyed by her transformation from being wary of him to trusting him, and now to being completely relaxed in his presence, even occasionally revealing her coquettish and shameless side. He turned around and went to change his clothes.

When An Moxue came out, Wu Sicheng was already standing in the courtyard waiting for her.

She asked, "I noticed there are a few more clothes in the closet. When did you buy them?"

Wu Sicheng thought for a moment and said, "My mom and Aunt Qing probably bought it for you when they went shopping, and then brought it over. I've been busy lately and haven't had time to buy these things."

No sooner had Wu Sicheng finished speaking than his hand reached out, a straight punch aimed directly at his face.

Wu Sicheng leaned back and dodged to the side, his mouth still tumbling out, "Mo Xue, you're so heartless. Aren't you afraid of smashing this face you like? If I become an ugly monster, where will you find a face exactly like mine?"

An Moxue delivered another straight kick, saying, "This is called surprisingly difficult."

He dodged to the side, and An Moxue said with dissatisfaction, "Fight back. Otherwise, it's no fun fighting."

He figured it out; she was pent up with frustration and was coming to him to vent. She was definitely not losing out.

The two men exchanged blows, making cracking sounds that sometimes looked painful, but they found it increasingly enjoyable as they fought.

Finally, An Moxue wanted to defeat Wu Sicheng. Taking advantage of the fact that men are stronger than women, he held her tightly in his arms. The two of them rolled on the ground, neither of them giving an inch.
