His demeanor, rather than being arrogant due to favoritism, brought about unexpected gains.
One afternoon, Yang Yichen emerged from the Ministry of Works, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind. He rushed to a Silver Shop like an impulsive young man.
As the name suggests, the Silver Shop is a place that crafts various gold and silver jewelry. It seemed he hadn't given Liu Qingxi a gift in quite some time.
He suddenly wanted her to wear something he had given her, as a declaration of his claim.
The Silver Shop was divided into two floors. The first floor displayed more ordinary jewelry at reasonable prices.
The second floor featured valuable items, each piece meticulously crafted by master artisans.
Yang Yichen changed into a white outfit, standing out among the women. Fortunately, he had good mental resilience and did not feel out of place in this environment.
“Boss, show me your best hairpin.” As the Young Master of Inorganic Gate, even without this title, he could afford to give Liu Qingxi the finest gift with his own abilities.
Although the Boss had been running the shop for many years and did not recognize this young man, he felt that someone who spoke so confidently would not be a fool.
“Sir, take a look at these new styles we have this year. And this one here is our store's treasure,” the Boss introduced each piece while instructing an assistant to bring out different styles of hairpins from inside.
As Yang Yichen surveyed the offerings, he felt no excitement; those styles were too ordinary in his eyes and did not match Liu Qingxi's exquisite beauty.
At that moment, an assistant cautiously emerged with a black box and placed it on the counter before gently opening it.
Inside was a Jade Hairpin, intricately carved with plum blossom petals that appeared lifelike, harmonizing beautifully with the jade that glimmered with a faint red hue—a sight to behold.
At first glance, Yang Yichen knew this hairpin was tailor-made for Liu Qingxi; it seemed to possess an innate affinity: “Boss, wrap this up for me!”
Just then, a woman dressed in a green long skirt and adorned with a bright yellow hairpiece swaggered in. With sharp eyes, she spotted the jewelry in the box and her eyes lit up.
She happened to hear Yang Yichen's words and directly interrupted, "Wait, I want this hairpin. Have you even looked at yourself? Can you afford it?" The slight curve of her lips was filled with disdain.
"But miss, this hairpin was first noticed by this young master," the Boss said cautiously.
Unexpectedly, the girl seemed not to have heard him at all: "Are you deaf? Can't you see that I want it? Why bother with a poor loser?" To her, Yang Yichen's ordinary clothes looked shabby.
Yang Yichen's handsome face frowned slightly. "Miss, I noticed this first. A gentleman does not take what others cherish. Don't you know such a principle?" His arrogance was evident, suggesting he was quite a peculiar character.
If it were someone else, they would have likely given up, but this girl was no ordinary person. Raising an eyebrow, her almond-shaped eyes widened in anger: "Open your eyes and look! My father is the Second-Rank Assistant Minister. Can you afford to provoke us?"
Yang Yichen was speechless. How could there be such a woman? Facing the Boss, he slowly turned back and gave the girl a look that said she was foolish.
However...
Yang Yichen had black hair and bright eyes that sparkled with intelligence. His chiseled features made him captivating at first glance.
The previously arrogant girl now gazed at the boy before her with starry eyes.
Gulldong—she swallowed hard.
Such a handsome face and cold gaze made it impossible for the girl not to be enchanted. With just a fleeting glance, she had lost her heart.
Touching her wildly beating heart, the girl's mouth nearly drooled.
Yang Yichen had seen such infatuated expressions many times; it was clear to him that she was superficial.
"Boss, wrap it up for me!" Following the principle of not offending either side, the Boss initially intended not to sell to anyone when the girl became infatuated.
In front of everyone, the Boss was momentarily stunned. He quickly wrapped up the item and carefully handed it to Yang Yichen, saying, "Welcome back, young master."
As for the girl from earlier? After being reminded, the Boss finally recalled that she was none other than the infamous Liang Shuer from the capital. Relying on her father's position as a Departmental Official, she had caused no small amount of trouble.
The Boss inwardly cursed his luck; how did he end up encountering this female tyrant? She had a history of publicly humiliating men, so what else could she be capable of?
However, he still disliked her from the bottom of his heart, so he simply sold the item without further thought.
As for Yang Yichen, having spent a large sum, he felt no regret at all; he only wished to present his favorite item to the person he cherished.
Little did he know that this brief shopping episode would soon intertwine their fates again.
Meanwhile, in the Silver Shop, just a moment after Yang Yichen left, the flamboyant girl slowly regained her senses. Where had that handsome young man gone? A fleeting glance had made her feel he was the best.
"Where did that man go?" she asked impatiently without hesitation.
The Boss shook his head slightly. "Miss, I'm sorry, but I don't know where he went. He left about fifteen minutes ago." However, when it came to directions, he shook his head again; he wouldn’t tell her even if he knew.
Liang Shuer was completely enchanted and lost in her thoughts, forgetting which way was which and also forgetting about competing with Yang Yichen for the jewelry.
Once home, the girl stomped her foot in frustration. After a moment, she turned to instruct a servant, "Go find me a man who is about..." She described Yang Yichen's appearance in detail.
The servants were already accustomed to helping their young lady find her preferred suitors.
They just didn't know how long this enthusiasm would last.
Unfortunately, they were wrong. This time, she was not just experiencing a fleeting moment of excitement; it was a genuine feeling of infatuation, a heart-stopping encounter that truly resonated with her.
At Liu Qingxi's home, the model had taken shape through their efforts. A portion of it now resembled a lifelike scale model, showcasing the bamboo forest on one side of the house, along with various trees and flowers meticulously represented.
Yang Yichen had returned multiple times to witness this scene, which reflected the family's collective effort towards the model. He also did his best to provide assistance.
Liu Qingxi was dressed in a light green outfit with a diagonal closure, wearing layered shoes and sporting a braid that cascaded down her back. She appeared energetic and lively, exuding a sense of determination.
At that moment, they were unaware that a conspiracy was gradually drawing closer.
At the Royal Residence, a discreet carriage slowly came to a stop at its entrance. A middle-aged man, assisted by the coachman, stepped down and entered the Royal Residence.
Walking along the lavish marble-paved path, he was guided by servants to a room located at the center of the Main Courtyard. A beautifully crafted bookshelf adorned one side of the room, while a man sat behind an antique and sturdy desk.
Upon seeing the visitor, he slightly raised his eyelids and said, "I called you here for a matter."
"Lord Wang, please give your orders. As long as I can accomplish it, I will not hesitate to go through fire and water," the man replied respectfully while bowing slightly.
