Chapter 51: Breathtaking Beauty
Editor: Larbre Studio
Fine, let's do it his way.
"Oh? Open it and we shall see."
To emphasise the high regard Miss Jinli had in Sir's eyes, Bai Yan had personally driven there. He had even carried the gift with his very own hands all the way.
Unveiling the gift, an extra familiar box appeared before the crowds' eyes.
Huh?
All eyes swerved onto Xu Zhiyi.
The exact same brand. K.D. The dreams of any materialistic girl, the hottest brand amongst the filthy rich.
Unconsciously, Xu Zhiyi's palms tightened on the necklace, her hands getting more moist by the second.
Curiosity was sprouting, yet it was mixed with a hint of discomfort.
Hmph! What good things can this Sir give to Jinli? How can it compare to herself?
Naturally, Bai Yan also saw the dazzling necklace she held. Yet, he didn't falter. He was crystal clear. This gift he held had the weight of the world. Even with his status, this gift was more than sufficient to sway him.
Slowly unwrapping the gift, the box within was worlds apart from Xu Zhiyi's.
It was a dull, black box of unknown quality. No design, no logo, no nothing. Simply put… plain.
Seeing this un-aesthetic box, Xu Zhiyi burst out laughing. "What sort of 'gift' is this? I have shopped K.D. millions of times. Never had I seen this sort of box. Not even once! Could it be? This guy borrowed the K.D. packaging?"
Her mockery went unsupported. Peng Fei did not know much about brands. But, being the "son" of Jinli, he knew better than to mock his "Father". Lan Ting was clueless too. K.D. and her lifestyle were millions of light-years apart. But, that did not mean she could not make a retort. Being Jinli's ally, she had to. "Oh? What if it just means that you are uninformed?"
Still chuckling, Xu Zhiyi mocked further, "I have followed these brands so closely for years. How can I not know about the simple packaging? In my eyes, it must be a broke fella's gift. Someone with the heart but without the ability. What a joke! He Ye, you were once a crazy fan of K.D., tell me! Am I mistaken?"
Silence followed her declaration. Confused, She turned over to face He Ye.
What met her gaze were eyes widened to the size of saucers. This man, who lived a life far more luxurious than a female artist, was fixated on that dull box.
"Oi! He Ye!"
Her call fell on deaf ears. He Ye's eyes burned on that box as he muttered, "This shape, this quality… Could… Could it be?"
His hands spasmed as it inched closer and closer to the box. He could not hold back his urge to open it.
On the other hand, Bai Yan just smiled and waited.
Looking at Jinli, he gestured,
"Miss Jinli, I feel that you should have the honour of opening it."
The Goddess had no clue about Human luxuries, but her sharp senses could tell the superior quality of this box.
Rare anticipation pounded in her heart.
What item would need this high quality box?
Swiftly, she accepted the invitation and took it in her hands. "Alright!"
Without pause, the lid was uncovered.
A blinding glimmer filled the room.
Sss!
A symphony of gasps resounded, mixing together into an cacophony of breathy inhalations. No one paid attention. All of their focus was on the silent, stationary necklace within the box.
Like starlight cascading onto a tranquil, still lake. Sparkling speckles of light glistened captivatingly. Each individual speckle of light was just like a star in the night sky, forming an enchanting pattern.
It was like a drop of Heaven's Tears. A treasure that was forgotten in the Human Realms by the Gods.
A breathtaking constellation.
