The appointment was set for dinner time, so the location was chosen as a high-end restaurant. As soon as Shen Wanci got out of the taxi, she saw the man waiting for her outside the restaurant.

Nie Yucheng naturally took the toolbox from her hand, "Have you gotten used to staying here these past two days?"

"Well, that's good."

Nie Yucheng led her inside, a little hesitant: "By the way, my grandfather... is rather fond of company. Don't mind him later."

Shen Wanci was puzzled. When she reached the room, she understood what Nie Yucheng meant.

I originally thought only Old Master Nie was there, but I didn't expect a whole table of people inside.

Nie Yucheng cleared his throat: "These are all my grandfather's friends. They were coincidentally playing golf together this afternoon and were also interested in appraisals, so they came to have a look. If you mind..."

It seems he's just realized how many people are here. Shen Wanci shook her head, "It's nothing, but I'm not an expert in appraising artifacts, so the results might be inaccurate."

That's how it is said, but the probability is very low. Although she didn't graduate from a related field, her grandfather and mother are experts in this area and have taught her all they know throughout their lives.

Mr. Nie saw someone coming and beckoned to her: "Miss Shen, come sit here with Grandpa Nie."

The two families were once close, the old man called her that way too, but it was just out of fondness for the younger generation. Later, their relationship faded, and now the Shen family...where could they possibly compare?

Shen Wanci walked over, "Grandfather Nie."

The old man smiled and nodded, "You've grown up to be more and more beautiful. I heard from Yu Cheng that you are now working in Jingyuan? You are a very skilled artifact restorer?"

"I don't want to reveal my identity as Wanwan's assistant for now," she just smiled faintly. "He's just putting me on a pedestal. I'm just an assistant."

"There's no need to be modest with Grandpa Nie. Just getting into the capital is already impressive, and you're so young! Do well, and strive to take over for your Master Xu someday."

Someone nearby, hearing the conversation between the two, teased: "Lao Nie, is something good about to happen to Yu Cheng?"

A young and pretty girl, who was personally picked up by Nie Yucheng himself. He said she was there to appraise antiques, but no one would truly believe that such a young girl could identify antiques. With the Nie family's network, if they needed someone to appraise antiques, they would definitely find someone with real skills.

So everyone naturally assumed that Nie Yuchen had found an excuse to bring his girlfriend to meet his grandfather.

Upon hearing this, the grandfather who had just been smiling kindly suddenly darkened his face, “You can’t talk nonsense like that. Wanci is already married.”

The Nie family knew about Shen Wanci and Bo Jingzhou's marriage. Although they didn't have a wedding ceremony, the two families were close and often saw each other during holidays and festivals.

When others saw the old man's serious expression, they didn't think he was joking anymore and stopped talking.

The old man received a translucent white porcelain cup from the Sui Dynasty. Shen Wanci had seen one like it at a museum before, this one wasn't as well-preserved, but it was in fairly good condition.

She opened the toolbox and took something out. She carefully observed the cup in her hand.

This process took a long time, and even as the food was served, she was still studying the base of the cup.

Nie Yu Cheng: "Wan Ci, why don't we eat first? We don't have to rush the appraisal."

Shen Wanci put down what she was holding, carefully placing the cup into the gift box, "Good."

Since everyone saw that Shen Wanci was so young, they didn't really have any hope for her answers. They were just waiting politely out of respect for the grandfather. During the meal, everyone chatted amongst themselves. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to them, Nie YuCheng lowered his voice and asked her, "Any results?"

"Well, how much did Grandpa Nie pay for this cup?"

Nie Yu Cheng held out his hand and gave her a jaw-dropping number.

"...."

Seeing Shen Wanci's silence, Nie YuCheng understood, "Fake?"

"It's not a genuine piece, it's patched together. The quality of the materials suggests it was put together in the late Ming Dynasty, so it's technically an antique. But since it's not original, it's not worth that much."

Old Mr. Nie, after knowing the answer, didn't act as Shen Wanci expected, pounding his chest and stamping his feet. Seeing his calm demeanor, she couldn't help but sigh: Well, money really does make things easier!

But just now the eyes of those who came to watch the excitement changed again and again.

After the dinner, Shen Wanci didn't ask Nie Yucheng to send her back, and took a taxi home herself.

Nie Yucheng turned to look at the old man, "Grandfather, I'll give you something?"

There were no other people at the restaurant entrance anymore. The old man who had just been calm a moment ago changed his expression, glaring fiercely at Nie Yu Cheng, "Who let you bring someone to appraise it? You unfilial grandson, you can't stand me being happy for two days, so you have to find someone to pour cold water on me. Get out of here! I bet you'll be so angry by the time you get there that you'll die!"

After finishing her words, she covered her chest and gasped for breath heavily.

Nie Yu Cheng: "..."

Half an hour later, Shen Wanci returned home. The first thing she did was take off her clothes and prepare to take a shower. But just as she unbuttoned her collar, she heard movement from inside the room.

Were you robbed?

She walked softly over, and as she passed the living room, she picked up something to defend herself with and held it in her hand.

With a click, the bedroom door swung open before she could reach it.

Bo Jingzhou stood behind the door, coldly looking at the thing tightly clutched in the woman's hand, "What? Do you want to do it again last night?"

Shen Wanci was completely dumbfounded, then she came to her senses and gritted her teeth as she roared at him, "Bo Jingzhou you..."

The man had just showered, his hair still wet, droplets sliding down the contours of his cheek. He was bare-chested, with only a relatively small towel wrapped around his waist, barely covering half of his thighs.

This towel is hers!

She usually lived a rather rough life, so after showering she would simply wipe off the water on her face along with everything else. Now, however, she was surrounded by Bo Jingzhou at her waist. Thinking about that scene...

Shen Wanci collapsed!

"Bo Jingzhou, who let you move my things? Take it off for me!"

Bo Jingzhou looked at her, his hand resting on the towel, a half-smile playing on his lips as he countered, "Do you really want me to untie it?"

Shen Wanci: "..."

Just look at him, he's so dissolute! There's definitely nothing under that towel!

Before he could make a move, she quickly chimed in, “No need for that! Just put on your clothes and get out of my house, take this towel with you too!”

The smile in Bao Jingzhou's eyes vanished, replaced by a dark cloud of gloom. He looked at her coldly, "Your home?"

"Although I know your head isn't filled with anything good, don't use those filthy thoughts to insult me, and also insult your brother."

Shen Wanci rolled her eyes and walked back to the sofa in the living room, sitting down. "Hurry up, I'll give you five minutes."

She turned on the TV and slowly ate an orange she had peeled.

Five minutes later, Bo Jingzhou came out of the room. He had changed into a set of pajamas, his hair was half-dried and hung messily.

Shen Wanci felt a sense of foreboding rise in her heart, and she instinctively took a step back. "What do you mean?"

This clothes fits so well, it must be brought by him. She doesn't have any men's clothing here.

He...is this...going to live here?
