Yi Chen has brought Li Hua to the park.

"Wait..", Yi Chen says.

Yi Chen comes to Xin Ye.

"Please record video.", Yi Chen says.

"Okay.", Xin Ye replies.

Yi Chen quickly goes to a flower shop and buys a beautiful red rose. He turns and returns to the park. He has a unique smile on his face that soothes Li Hua.

Xin Ye starts recording and stands in a corner. Yi Chen gets down on his knees and gives the flower to Li Hua. Li Hua becomes very emotional and accepts the flower.

"I love you.", Yi Chen says.

"I love you too.", Li Hua replies.

Yi Chen takes a ring box out of his pocket and shows Li Hua the rings.

"Will you marry me? Will you be my wife?", Yi Chen asks.

Li Hua cries and nods her head in acceptance. Yi Chen puts the ring on her ring finger, causing Li Hua to jump with joy.

Yi Chen is satisfied with Li Hua's happiness and hugs her tightly. They look at each other, move closer, and their lips touch.

Xin Ye blushes and closes her eyes out of shyness. But she still films the two of them. They break the kiss and touch their foreheads.

"Congratulations!", Xin Ye says.

Li Hua and Yi Chen intertwine their fingers with each other's fingers.

"Oh c'mon! I will take your photos. Let's make the moment memorable!", Xin Ye says.

Li Hua and Yi Chen pose as a love couple and Xin Ye clicks a cute and romantic photo of them.

This is their happiest moment. Finally, Yi Chen proposes to Li Hua for marriage. Now both of them will get married and will live happily with each other forever in their life.

Xin Ye lets her best friend Li Hua spend time with her fiancé.

In Ancient Explorer Building

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Mu Yang walks over to the coffin and smirks. Something seems to be going on in his mind. He looks at his right hand, where he holds a book.

"Finally I am going to be rich very soon.", Mu Yang says.

Mu Yang remembers a moment. He found the book in the coffin, but he hid it, thinking he would take it and other information when no one was in the building.

Mu Yang turns on his phone.

[ I have found something very interesting. Now I need money.]- Mu Yang messages to Jin Hai.

[ If that works for me, I will definitely give you a lot of money so that you will be settled forever in life and you will not have to do any work.] - Jin Hai replies the message.

Mu Yang works for the mafia, Jin Hai. He wants money, and Jin Hai wants ancient artifacts so he can auction them off illegally. Whatever profit Jin Hua makes, he gives the money to Mu Yang accordingly.

Mu Yang has stolen from buildings many times before and sold the artifacts to Jin Hai for money. No one suspected him.

Mu Yang collects the artifacts in a box and puts the book in it as well. The hall becomes even quieter, and a mysterious voice slowly echoes through the hall.

Mu Yang looks around and ignores everything. He exits the hall.

A short while later, the door to the hall opens. Mu Yang enters and places all the items in their respective places.

Mu Yang's face is very serious and he doesn't seem like normal. He comes to the Chao Xiang's sculpture and looks at it deeply.

The corner of Mu Yang's lip curls up and he grins. He turns on his phone.

[ I can't bring anything for you right now.] - Mu Yang messages.

After sometime he gets the reply of the message.

[ Try to meet me soon.] - Jin Hai replies the message.

**********

The next day Li Hua and Xin Ye come to the building at ten o'clock. They keep their purse aside.

"Mu Yang! Are you here?", Xin Ye asks.

Mu Yang comes out of room and presents in from of both the ladies. He is looking different today.

Li Hua's eyes fall on the sculpture and she shockingly looks at Mu Yang.

"Did you bring the sculpture out from the glass box? Why?", Li Hua asks.

"I didn't like to keep it inside the glass. Let it take fresh air.", Mu Yang says.

"Fresh air? It's just sculpture.", Xin Ye says.

"You make good jokes.", Li Hua says.

Mu Yang stays quiet and glares at her with his side eye. He goes away and sits on a chair, folding his arms.

Li Hua and Xin Ye do their work. Today they brought some artifacts and he looks at them.

After a while Xin Ye gets tired. She stretches her arms. She gets an idea and then she cuts paper. She made something with that.

After a few minutes Xin Ye make a flower band of paper and her face lightened up with an innocent smile. She checks it for the last time and then gets up.

Xin Ye comes near the sculpture and puts the flower band on its head.

"Wow!", Li Hua says.

"I was getting bored so for fun I created it. How is it?", Xin Ye asks.

"Nice! I will also make something. Let's decorate it together.", Li Hua says.

Mu Yang glares at both of them but h doesn't utter a single word and looks at their childish behaviour.

Li Hua and Xin Ye make many crafts from paper like wrist band, necklace and other things and they hang it on the sculpture. It's an interesting thing for both of them.

"What if he is looking at you and wants to grab your neck because you are making fun of him?", Mu Yang asks.

"You are again making a joke!", Li Hua says.

"I have an idea. We will call it Chao Xiang. It's real name.", Xin Ye says.

"Don't take his name. He is the emperor.", Mu Yang says.

"He was the emperor! And it's very common to take its name. Why are you taking it seriously? I will call it Chao Xiang.", Xin Ye says.

"It's very tall. I want to measure my height with its height.", Li Hua says.

Li Hua goes and she measures her height with its height. It is very tall and she is small in front of it. Then Xin Ye goes and measures her height.

"This height is perfect and I like it.", Xin Ye says.

Mu Yang again stares at them because again both of them have started doing fun with it.
