He produceda pouch and handed it over to her.


Needless tosay, that’s another dimension pouch. Cheng Xiao Xiao put the ring on her fingerand accepted the pouch from Zhu Xiangyu. Using her mind’s eyes, she could seeall sorts of animals within the pouch. That made her smile deepened.


Everybodycould tell that she was in a very good mood now.


Yet ZhuXaingyu’s mood was even better. He made a proposal to Cheng Xiao Xiaoimmediately and said, “Xiao Xiao, the bamboo forest owned by your family isamazing and filled with mystical qi. I have been wanting to visit it,care to join me?”

“Oh, youwant to visit the bamboo forest?”

Cheng XiaoXiao was in a good mood, so she accepted his proposal after a brief moment,“Sure! I can use a walk!”


“Then let’sgo!” Zhu Xiangyu was even happier now. He got up from his seat and cupped hishands at Cheng Biyuan, “Master Cheng, see you in a bit!”


“See you ina bit!” nodded Cheng Biyuan, who didn’t say much.


Cheng XiaoXiao greeted her parents before she walked into the courtyard accompanying ZhuXiangyu.


At the sametime, while no others were paying attention, she tossed the ring and the pouchinto the dimension for little Yuteng to play with.


Watching herdaughter walked out, Mrs. Cheng walked over and sat down next to her husband.There were curious and uncertainty in her eyes, “Ye, you think our XiaoXiao was fond of young Mr. Zhu?”


“Why do yousay that? That’s a bit of a stretch, don’t you think?” Cheng Biyuan doesn’tthink his eldest daughter would have fallen for young Mr. Zhu on first sight.


Granted, ifshe was, he was quite okay with the standing of young Mr. Zhu.


Mrs. Chengstill has her suspicions and said, “I think it kind of looks like it. Xiao Xiaowas never one to chitchat with any boys. This time she had agreed to go on awalk with him, there must be something there!”


“Notnecessarily!” Cheng Biyuan still refused to believe.


“I think so.Plus, look at this young Mr. Zhu, he seems quite fond of Xiao Xiao. Even thoughhe had been around for a while now, he had always kept his distance with us. Hewas totally different when it comes to Xiao Xiao!”


“Alright,regardless of whether she is or isn’t fond of him, we need to stay out of it!”


“How can yousay that? Xiao Xiao is our daughter, we can’t stay out of it!” Mrs. Cheng gavehim a stare and said unhappily, “You are her dad; you better keep an eye out onthis young Mr. Zhu. Don’t let him take advantage of our daughter, otherwise, Iwill never let you hear the end of it….”


“What areyou talking about? You are just being silly now….”


Cheng Biyuandidn’t know what to do with his wife, “Cheng Xiao Xiao can take care of her ownmatters, we don’t need to meddle. Oh yeah, in the next couple of days, have theservants hurry up and tidy up the newly constructed courtyard. Brother Zhou andhis family will be arriving in the next few days!”


“Really? Ithas been a few years before we have seen Mrs. Zhou, I wonder how she is doing!”


“For surebetter than us. Just be sure to make the arrangements!”


“Alright!”Mrs. Cheng nodded, then she pulled out a letter from her sleeve and said,“Here’s a letter from the city of Yin, ye, take a look!”


“Yin?”


“Yeah, itwas just delivered. It was from mom!” Mrs. Cheng lowered her head, her eyesreddened.


Cheng Biyuantook a look at her, picked up the letter and started reading.


On the otherside, the two young ones walked out side by side and Cheng Xiao Xiao casuallyasked, “Young Mr. Zhu is preparing to take off? If that’s the case, I haveanother favor to ask. Continue to collect items for us, we will continue to buythem from you.”


“Xiao Xiao,why does it sound like you want me to leave?” said young Mr. Zhu as he turnedand looked at her pretty face and smiled.
