“Okay!” Xu Yue nodded obediently again.
After leaving, Xu Yue asked two maids to take the two jewelry boxes back to the mansion first, and to tell her parents that Zhou Lin would take her home after she finished eating.
Chunyi and Xianuan quickly and respectfully carried the wooden box that their son-in-law had given to their young mistress back to the mansion.
Zhou Lin was surprised that she had sent the two maids away so easily. Thinking that the next time would be some time alone for the two of them, he thought it was not bad, so he led her slowly toward the restaurant.
Chunyi and Xia Nuan left because they knew there were two guards protecting their young lady in the shadows. Besides, they trusted their son-in-law, Zhou Lin, who had left a very good impression on them. He was a gentleman, gentle and refined, not at all like a country boy from the countryside.

The family looked at each other in disbelief. This was incredible! Zhou Lin's skills seemed to be better than those of ordinary carpenters. It was as if the Xu family had struck gold!
