THUD!
Wong Qifu, her face flushed red, slammed the door shut.
Xu Ke hadn't dared to use his full strength against her, so he allowed himself to be pushed out. Still, his face was full of confusion.
What on earth was in that box?
Just then, Wong Qifu's urging voice came from behind the door. "Go change your clothes! Stop standing in front of my door!"
"All right then!" Xu Ke responded helplessly.
Only after Xu Ke had left did Wong Qifu, her face still beet red, finally breathe a sigh of relief.
I'm not buying this again… she thought, glancing at the box. After a moment of hesitation, however, she decided not to throw it away.
Perhaps… it might come in handy one day?
「...」
Downstairs, Xu Ke found Tang Yingchang, who had already spent half the day drinking tea with Wang Wu at the Wang Family estate.
"Enjoying your tea, gentlemen?" Xu Ke asked with a smile as he walked over.
"We just finished sparring!" Tang Yingchang replied with a laugh.
