After attending Zhou Tianyu’s birthday party, Wen Xinya realized the urgent need to add new clothes to her wardrobe. Her wardrobe contained most of her casual clothes, but none would be suitable for formal events. She had to make time from her busy schedule to visit Pearl Mall and shop for new outfits.
When she arrived at Jo-ramst, the shopping assistant immediately came up to her and greeted enthusiastically. “Young Missus Wen, what brought you here today?”
“I came to shop for new outfits,” said Wen Xinya as she roamed between the shelves. “Is there any new design launches this month?”
“Yes, there is. Young Missus Wen, please follow me.”
The shopping assistant led Wen Xinya to the new launch zone. There were many different outfits suitable for all kinds of occasions. She tried on a few and picked those that she liked, then moved on to select some accessories to go with them.
When Wen Xinya stepped into the accessories area, she was stunned!
The accessories area only had two customers. One of them was extremely eye-catching!
Si Yiyan!
Beside him was a beautiful lady from Country E. The lady had a tall and slim figure and long curly brown hair that glowed beautifully under the lighting of the chandelier. She was wearing a cheongsam with purple peony design, and the skirt was only long enough to cover three inches of her thigh. That pair of seductive long, slim legs were especially enchanting.
The cheongsam brought out the oriental flavor of the beautiful lady — shy yet elegant, gentle yet mysterious. Every inch of it represented a hidden meaning behind the mysterious appearance, and every button represented a lock to seal the beautiful story of the past.
This beautiful lady from Country E wore a cheongsam that brought out the sexiness in her. If someone failed to dress correctly, no matter what she wore, it would make her look plain and ordinary.
Subconsciously, she looked at the woman’s chest. By her visual estimation, her chest size was 34D. She was suddenly reminded of that night when Si Yiyan sent her the desserts, they had an embarrassing discussion about a woman’s figure. He seemed to have a special interest in the size 34D.
At this thought, she called off her initial intention to greet Si Yiyan.
However, he seemed to have discovered her looking at them. Si Yiyan turned over and looked towards her direction. That pair of almond-shaped eyes had a deep incomprehensible mystery and the capability to absorb all the surrounding passion and zealousness, turning them into glittering energy within his eyes.
Wen Xinya’s heart shivered for a moment and refused to have any eye-contact with him. She slightly raised her eyebrows and turned to walk towards another area to continue shopping for other accessories.
Wen Xinya’s eyes landed on the shelves with beautiful accessories on display. However, her ears were attracted to the conversation between the couple opposite her. They were speaking in E-language, which she did not understand at all. She was guessing that they were talking about accessories.
Within seconds, there was the sound of footsteps behind her. Wen Xinya turned around and saw Si Yiyan leading that beautiful lady from Country E coming toward her.
Wen Xinya looked at them and saw the beautiful lady from Country E holding a piece of a jade bracelet, still talking to Si Yiyan in E-language. Si Yiyan looked down and occasionally gave his opinion in one or two sentences. The couple seemed to be in good harmony.
Wen Xinya had the impulse to leave the area but suddenly stopped. There was no reason for her to keep moving away from him wherever he went. And why did she have to give way to him? At the thought, she remained where she was and continued looking at the accessories on the shelves.
Si Yiyan suddenly spoke in Mandarin. “I’m not well versed in jade bracelets either. Why don’t you ask this young lady beside you? Maybe she can give you some advice.”
Wen Xinya was surprised to hear that. Not well versed in jade bracelets? Who are you kidding? He could easily describe every detail of the jade ornaments in Grampy’s house without any difficulty. How could he not know anything about jade bracelets?
While she was still deep in thought, the beautiful lady from Country E turned over and looked at her with the jade bracelet in her hand. She then asked in broken Mandarin, “Miss, do you think this jade bracelet suits me?”
Wen Xinya gave Si Yiyan a hard stare. He was there shopping for accessories with his girlfriend but just had to drag Wen Xinya into the picture. Wen Xinya looked at the jade bracelet in her hand; it was a beautiful green jade bracelet. She would have chosen this to match her cheongsam. Cheongsams went well with accessories made of jade or pearl. However, the majority of people preferred to go with jade accessories.
The taste of this beautiful lady from Country E was a little different. She did not actually agree with her selection—perhaps it was because of their different cultural backgrounds and nationalities.
She shifted her vision to the shopping assistant beside her. “Bring the latest jade accessories of this season for this lady to take a look.”
The shopping assistant swiftly opened a drawer with a key and took out some accessories. Then she placed them on a nearby tea table with its table top made of glass.
“These are our best accessories.” Wen Xinya glanced towards Si Yiyan as if accepting his challenge. You wanted me to select accessories for your girlfriend. I will let your wallet bleed.
The corner of Si Yiyan’s lips raised a little. He could feel a sense of being pampered.
Wen Xinya held a piece of a jade bracelet in her hand and smiled. “This purple violet jade bracelet looks nice and matches with the outfit you’re wearing today. Look at this… This is made with the rare ice jade. It has a nice color and clarity, and there are almost no impurities. It brings out the elegance of the jade and its beauty at its purest form.”
“Yes, this is indeed beautiful!” That lady took it into her hands and could not bear to let it go.
Wen Xinya continued, “Look at the streak of the purple element in the middle of the jade. This is the purest form of royal purple color. This color represents royalty in Country Z and commands respect. It signifies ‘purple prosperity from the east’ and ‘purple clothing for the royalty.’ Therefore, purple is a mysterious color that represents wealth and elegance.”
The lady was moved by her words.
Si Yiyan glanced at Wen Xinya with a smile. Her eyes were glittering and shiny, just like the stars in the sky. She seemed to know her stuff well and was able to speak like a professional. However, she was just bluffing her way through.
“Let me try it on for you and see if it fits.” Wen Xinya took over the jade bracelet with one hand while holding the lady’s hand with another. She slid the jade bracelet through her fingers and stopped right at the arch beneath her thumb. The size was just right.
“Oh my God! It is as if this jade bracelet was customized just for you. The size fits you perfectly. Every valuable jade accessory is unique. Even if they are made to be of the same design, each piece of jade will have different color patterns, quality, and density. You must treasure this piece as you have found one that fits you perfectly. There is an affinity between you and this jade.”
Si Yiyan was laughing inside. She was really trying hard to bluff her way through. She even mentioned words like “customized” and “affinity” to describe the jade bracelet, as if this was a piece of the most valuable treasure in the world. How could anyone not want to possess it?
Even the shopping assistant behind her was trying to control herself from bursting into laughter.
However, the shopping assistant was filled with respect for Young Missus Wen. This was one of the most expensive pieces of jade bracelets in the shop. There were quite a few customers previously who liked it, but they gave up purchasing it when they saw the price.
