Capítulo 6: Pregnant

Editor: Atlas Studios

When Shen Qianshu woke up, she found herself in hospital. She lay silently on the hospital bed, surrounded by beeping machines and sterile white walls. Her mind was blank for a while, lifeless, then the memories from that horrible night flooded into her mind. She slowly registered the soreness and pain that flared weakly from deep within her body. It was as if the pain was engraved deeply within her bones and had now started paralysing her nerves. She felt numb.

"Sara, you are finally awake." She could hear Luther's voice. Shen Qianshu turned around stiffly, and saw Butler Luther beside her. He was not someone you would consider kind-hearted, but at that moment, there was sympathy in his eyes. "You were in a critical condition and unconscious for four days. After the doctor's emergency treatment, you were finally saved."

Shen Qianshu's face was pale as Luther's words came into her mind.

Remember, do not stay overnight in the castle.

She had… given herself to the devil.

Why?

Why did he treat her like that?

"Master was emotionally unstable, I hope you will be able to forgive him." Luther bowed slightly.

Shen Qianshu's gaze was dull, her eyes dead. "Why?"

No one could give her an answer.

Shen Qianshu stayed in the hospital for seven days. Butler Luther came to visit her three times and paid for all of her medical fees. On the day she was discharged, Luther came and gave her a check.

"Miss Sara, Master said that he no longer needs you as a chaperon. This check is a form of compensation for you."

Shen Qianshu looked down at the numbers on the check.

One million euros.

How generous.

Her virginity was worth a million euros. There might not be many in the world who could claim that their virginity was valued higher than hers.

Humiliation. Loss. Irony. Desolation. A whirlpool of negative emotions trapped her like a net, drawing her in and enshrouding her in an endless cycle of despair. In this world of weightlessness, she was lost.

On a subconscious level, she wanted to rip the humiliating check into a million tiny shreds. However, this too, was fleeting, her mind was blank and all sound thoughts were gone.

"I want to meet with Master."

"Master doesn't wish to see you."

Shen Qianshu gave a small, sad smile.

Butler Luther pondered to himself, Sara, perhaps you are Master's only light in this life.

I have never seen him so concerned over anyone!

That is why he will not meet you.

He is scared of hurting you.

However, there is no way you will ever know.

Shen Qianshu returned to her small apartment and lay down for three whole days before she was able to fully recover.

She could no longer change the past. Now that the tragedy had already happened, she would not let herself dwell on it and live on in despair. Her whole life depended on her to move forward. Her family had abandoned her long ago, leaving her in Paris to fend for herself. Other than earning money for the sake of it, she would work hard for her future and become a person that lived with dignity.

Shen Qianshu started attending language classes diligently; they were divided into English and French lessons. When it came time to choose her specialisation online, she unexpectedly chose the second specialisation.

Psychology.

Psychology was taught in English and although her English ability was not too bad, it was not sufficient on a professional level to consider a specialised course, so she had to work hard to improve. In addition to attending language classes, she kept herself busy and worked part-time to teach French students Chinese, earning her living expenses to support her goals.

She thought that her life would continue in such a way at first.

Learning the languages, attending university, earning money; she had settled into a steady routine and was determined to make something of herself… until a medical report shocked her to the core six months later, turning her stable life upside-down.

She was pregnant!

Seven years later.

City A's Jewelry Fair was held in Cultural Arts Center, Hall 1. It was an event that gathered famous brands from all across the globe, as well as individual works from renowned designers both locally and internationally. Spanning over an area of close to 25,000 square meters, the fair showcased an incomparable array of accessories and jewels with diverse styles and from different origins. It was the place to be, in the world of jewelry.

Shen Qianshu was admiring the works of different designers from around the world. As opposed to works from more renowned brands, where she only gave a quick, cursory glance, Shen Qianshu preferred works that were unique, with strong personal styles that differed from the norm.

A City's Jewelry Fair had only one individual exhibition hall. It was also where her most admired designer, Noah, would make his first appearance at the fair.

Noah was the jewelry industry's most enigmatic designer, the one and only.

He had debuted in Paris's jewelry fair five years ago, entering the scene and shocking the world when the only work he showcased, was auctioned off for a hefty sum of ten million US dollars. He had very few works, only a small handful each year. His designs were incredibly unique and often encompassed different styles; though all would carry the same mysterious and dark aura that had become synonymous with him. He was termed as dark royalty, his strong personal style distinct and undeniably attractive, resonating a deep darkness from within.


Capítulo 7: Genius Designer

Editor: Atlas Studios

Noah was a mystery. He had never appeared in public, nobody knew who he was, nor of his origins; he was a complete enigma.

Shen Qianshu completed the task given to her by the designer, continued to gather information on a number of jewelry brands and then went to the individual exhibition area.

Noah section. Inside the display case, a sapphire necklace shone brilliantly under the bright lights, clearly the showcase piece in the exhibition.

Deep blue sapphire. Comprised of ninety nine crushed gemstones formed delicately into an intricate star. It glittered like the starlight in an endless sky and was simply breathtaking. Shen Qianshu was truly amazed by the marvelous creation, it was stunning. From its design, to the quality of the workmanship and the materials; it was flawless. Rumors claimed that every piece of Noah's works were handcrafted by him personally, from the concept and drafts all the way to the final product.

"Qianshu?" an attractive voice sought her from behind. Shen Qianshu came back to her senses while Li Zhiyuan walked towards her slowly, greeting her with a confident smile.

Li Zhiyuan was Brilliant Entertainment's heir, a man with poise and impeccable manners. He had an outstanding reputation, media outlets constantly spoke highly of him; a rich second-generation that excelled in everything he set out to achieve.

"CEO Li, what a coincidence to see you here."

Li Zhiyuan smiled faintly, eyes shining as bright as the starlight. "It's not a coincidence, I knew you would be here, so I decided to try my luck."

Shen Qianshu felt embarrassed and did not know how to respond.

"You like Noah's works too?" Li Zhiyuan followed her gaze and looked at the display case. It was truly a marvelous piece of work, beautiful and mysterious but also with an air of elegance. It was titled 'Hope'.

Shen Qianshu nodded. "I really like them, every piece of work he creates is so beautiful and a collectible."

"If you like this one, I will buy it for you." Li Zhiyuan gaze changed, gentle, yet strong.

Shen Qianshu was shocked, and gave a half-suppressed laugh.

"What are you laughing about?" Li Zhiyuan frowned. Did she think that he could not afford a piece of jewelry with his wealth?

"CEO Li, other than his masterpiece that is being auctioned off, all of his other works are not for sale." This was also the main reason why all jewelry companies were so attracted to him and his works were in such high demand. Other than his first auction piece, all his other works were exclusive and not for sale.

"If you like it, I will make sure you get what you desire."

"CEO Li, I don't deserve your good intentions, but really, I appreciate your sincerity."

Shen Qianshu was elegant and refined, a genuine beauty since she was young. She had a perfect oval-shaped face with a pair of clear and sparkling eyes that drew attention wherever she went. Her features were flawless, her demeanour expressive and attractive, she was a rare, enchanting beauty that could take one's breath away. And because of her beauty, she was never lacking in suitors.

Shen Qianshu's son, Tong Hua, was one of Brilliant Entertainment's most outstanding child stars. He had gained immense popularity in the country and a few months ago, Shen Qianshu had accompanied Tong Hua to attend an awards ceremony, where they had met Li Zhiyuan. Li Zhiyuan was taken aback that there could be someone so beautiful, and since then, had often created chances to flirt with Shen Qianshu.

Li Zhiyuan looked admiringly at the jewelry on display. "This sapphire is simply gorgeous, and reflects the lights like starlight."

Shen Qianshu was a bit taken aback, then smiled faintly, "CEO Li, the gemstone on Noah's work is a rare type of spinel, not a sapphire."

"It's a spinel?" Li Zhiyuan was shocked. "I thought it was a really expensive sapphire, the refraction of the light rays upon the stone was so beautiful. However since it is a spinel, that reduces its value."

"You are wrong about that." As one of the industry's top jewelry appraisers, Shen Qianshu had a pair of sharp eyes. "Gemstones are valued depending on their scarcity which determines how expensive they can be. This kind of spinel stone from Sri Lanka is rarely seen, and a star-shaped spinel like this is incredibly rare. You can see it in how the light refracts so beautifully and radiates light from all edges, it's truly spectacular. Last year, Gubelin appraised a spinel stone with impurities, its radiance was nowhere near as bright and was already worth seventy million. If we are looking at this spinel in front of us, CEO Li, this is not something that can be bought with money."

Li Zhiyuan face reddened and he felt slightly embarrassed, especially when he recalled how he had confidently proclaimed he would buy it if Shen Qianshu desired it. If just one single spinel was already over a hundred million dollars, how much would the entire creation be worth?

"Qianshu, you really are amazing. You know everything about jewels."

Shen Qianshu replied simply, "This is my job. CEO Li, I still have work to do, so I will take my leave first."

Li Zhiyuan did not put her in a spot. His smile was comforting but self-assured, "Qianshu, I will win your heart."

Shen Qianshu turned back, smiled and said alluringly, "Good luck then."

Li Zhiyuan continued to gaze at her as she left his sight, watching her exquisite figure with a renewed determination.
