Shi Xi: "Get me a new jewelry box too."
She wanted to put her own bracelet on.
To prevent Yan Linlang from demanding her old jade bracelet after receiving a new one, Yan Linlang wanted it back.
So Shi Xi not only bought a new jade bracelet, but also bought an old one from the pawnshop to wear on her wrist.
As for her original jade bracelet, just put it away properly.
The pawnshop manager quickly sent over a new jewelry box.
It's just the right size to hold a jade bracelet.
After packing everything up, the two left.
Before leaving, Xie Yunzhou instructed, "I don't want anyone else to know that we came to buy the bracelet."
Pawnshop Manager: "Don't worry, we keep all customer information confidential!"
Nobody wants people to know they sell secondhand items, and even less wants people to know they buy secondhand items.
The less you know, the safer you are.

Back in the car, Shi Xi began changing her bracelet.
She tried to take off the jade bracelet, but it seemed to be welded to her hand, and she couldn't get it off for a long time.
"I'm not going to abandon you. I'm just letting you stay in the box for now," Shi Xi coaxed. "Otherwise, you'll be taken away tonight."
Xie Yunzhou: "...There's hand cream in the car, try it."
"Okay." Shi Xi took the hand cream and asked doubtfully, "You use this?"
"Is that not allowed?" Xie Yunzhou asked expressionlessly.
Shi Xi applied hand cream to her hands. "Of course."
No wonder Xie Yunzhou's hands are so beautiful!
Shi Xi felt she had found the reason.
After applying some hand cream, the bracelet was finally removed.
Shi Xi put the bracelet in the jewelry box and said softly, "You can rest here for a few days, okay?"
I carefully arranged my precious violet.
Shi Xi put on the old bracelet she had bought.
The old bracelet also has a beautiful sheen, although it's not as pretty as hers.
But it's not bad either.
Xie Yunzhou said, "I'll go with you to the yacht party tonight."
Shi Xi: "Sure, she probably won't mind."
After all, Yan Linlang had shown great interest in Xie Yunzhou at the banquet.
“I’m afraid she might hurt you,” Xie Yunzhou explained. “I heard that the Yan family knows a feng shui master, and it’s because of that master that they’ve risen so high.”
Shi Xi asked, puzzled, "Is that feng shui master so amazing? Doesn't anyone else seek him out?"
Xie Yunzhou: "I don't know, I've only heard it secondhand—it seems to be very expensive."
That explains why no one else contacted them.
"Believe in science. There's no such thing as so much metaphysics," Shi Xi comforted her. "It's all a lie."
"Okay." Xie Yunzhou didn't believe in these things either.
But he had to be wary of treacherous people making moves.
Who knows what a scoundrel might do in private?
That evening, the two arrived at the yacht party on time, bringing gifts.
Shi Xi took Xie Yunzhou's arm and stepped forward to present the gift, saying, "Miss Yan, this is a gift for you."
Yan Linlang, noticing the close proximity between the two, asked, "Are you two dating?"
Shi Xi nodded readily, "Yes."
"So that's how it is." Yan Linlang smiled knowingly. "No wonder Yunzhou kept rejecting me. It turns out he has a beauty like you by his side."
Xie Yunzhou: ...
Shi Xi was surprised that Yan Linlang would say such a thing, and gave an awkward smile, "Take a look at the gift I gave you? See if you like it."
“I naturally like the jade bracelet that you gave me.” Yan Linlang looked at the jade bracelet on Shi Xi’s wrist and said, “However, I still like the jade bracelet you are wearing the most.”
It was nighttime, and the night was dark.
The bracelet on Shi Xi's wrist didn't look much different from when it was daytime.
