This historic moment shocked the world, and the country was most shocked.
In the house in Taoyuan District of Dongshi City, Xia Guoxi stood up excitedly, the hand holding the cane still trembling, "Okay! Okay!"
The old man seemed to be unable to say anything else except these words. He just stared at the TV screen. Such an international scene had never been seen by the old man who was born in the war-torn and poor era, and he had never thought of himself. Can be seen.
Throughout his life, he had a tough temper and often offended people and did wrong things. As a result, his destiny changed several times. Because he offended someone, he was trapped in a mountain village for half his life, depressed and frustrated. He still feels awkward and guilty because he mistakenly looked at his granddaughter and enjoyed the happy old age she brought. Looking at the picture on the TV screen of the girl standing in front of cameras all over the world, he couldn't imagine that she was a child of their old Xia family.
She has always favored boys over girls, but no boy in the Xia family can achieve such glory as her, who started from scratch, excelled in studies, went abroad to win glory for the country, and achieved such glory!
This is his granddaughter, the child he misjudged all his life...
The old man was excited and sighed, but Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan had red eyes, feeling happy and proud. Watching my daughter give a speech in front of the whole world, watching her sign the agreement in such a scene, the feelings of a parent are difficult to describe in words.
Xia Zhitao stood up and said excitedly: "Great! As expected of our Xiaoshao! I will go out tomorrow and let those bastards say behind my back that Huaxia Group is going to collapse for the past two days! I want to see who else Dare you say that!"
In the past few days, the domestic public opinion criticizing Huaxia Group has been too strong. Some scholars even analyzed the situation and said that if Huaxia Group wants to calm public opinion and restore its reputation, it must buy back the murals, otherwise its reputation will be severely damaged! However, the funds required to purchase murals are not a small amount. For Huaxia Group, which is currently developing in an all-round way, it will be a huge drain on working capital. The mural was bought back, and although the reputation can be restored, the tight liquidity in a short period of time will also be very detrimental to the development of the group, and there may be hidden worries.
This matter is a dilemma. No matter how it is solved, Huaxia Group will suffer some losses this time. It depends on the severity of the losses. If Xia Shao doesn't handle it well, Huaxia Group may suffer heavy losses.
When such words spread, people followed their opinions, and gradually it became clear that Huaxia Group was about to collapse. In the past few years in Dongshi, almost no one in the Xia family has not known them, and everyone greeted them with a smile. In the past few days, some people have stabbed the old Xia family in the back, saying that if Huaxia Group is rich, it should give away the national treasure. Buy it, otherwise it would be unpatriotic!
It’s simply moral kidnapping! There are so many Chinese companies that are rich and famous, so why should Huaxia Group foot the bill
Among Xia Zhitao's fair-weather friends, there were some who wanted to get in front of him when they saw him. He had to do something in the past two days, and some people started to push back and forth. Some even looked at him with white eyes, which made Xia Zhitao very angry. !
Tonight, those people were probably waiting to see the mural be auctioned, to see how Xia Shao would return to China, and to see what would happen to Huaxia Group. Now, I guess these grandsons are all dumbfounded!
When he thought of this, Xia Zhitao wanted to laugh, but he was so proud! Not only will Huaxia Group not fail, but it will also become famous in the country and reach a higher level!
"I said you just have no memory! Xiaoshao just said that he would send the mural back to China in three days. Do you want to cause trouble and let Xiaoshao deal with you?" Jiang Qiulin glanced at Xia Zhitao and pinched him hard. A handful.
Xia Zhitao jumped up with a cry, "I just said I would go out for a walk, but I didn't say I wanted to cause trouble! Are you still not allowed to go out for a walk and look at the faces of those grandsons?"
"What's there to see? The warmth and coldness of human relationships, the ups and downs of the world, haven't you seen enough?" Xia Zhiyuan looked over and his face sank. Over the years, he has managed charity funds and moved around the upper circles, and his serious face has become quite dignified.
"Brother, I just think those grandsons are so irritating. They also said that if Huaxia Group collapses, the Xu family will definitely not want our Xiaoshao anymore. This is so irritating! I just want to see these people now When our Xiaoshao comes back, how can they have the nerve to come over to us?" Xia Zhitao looked angry, but when he saw his eldest brother's serious face, his tone became much softer.
Li Juan glanced at her husband when she heard this. In fact, she had been worried about this matter for the past few days. It's not that she's worried that her daughter won't be able to marry into a family like the Xu family, it's just that her daughter really likes Tianyin. If the company she founded is hit hard and the relationship fails to withstand the test, she's afraid she won't be able to withstand the blow. In the past few days, compared to the turmoil outside, she couldn't sleep because of this matter. Now it's better, this child can always do great things quietly. Although she doesn't know much about international affairs, she still feels that the return of the murals is a good thing that brings glory to the country. If her daughter marries into the Xu family, she can live in glory.
Xia Zhiyuan was not as worried as Li Juan. He felt that nothing would happen to Huaxia Group from the beginning. Perhaps it was because his daughter had always surprised people over the years. This time the public opinion in the country was so loud, but she didn't respond at all. He felt that she must be making a plan before taking action. Regarding the rumors about the marriage, from his perspective as a father, he certainly hopes that there will be no twists and turns in the marriage. But precisely because he is a father, he hopes that the people his daughter values are people who can withstand the test. Although the incident ended successfully this time, he didn't know when the test of the relationship between the two young people would come.
The road of life is long, full of ups and downs, and tests will come sooner or later. The next storm may be more violent than this one. I hope they can work together and withstand the difficult test.
…
Just when the Xia family was excited, emotional, and elated about the return of the murals, they were in the red-walled courtyard in the capital.
There were no lights on in the antique study room. The old man stood with his hands behind his hands and looked out the window into the distance. Although it is already early morning in the capital, the sky has not yet risen, and it is the darkest moment before dawn. The flashlight on the screen on the wall dimmed the light in the study, illuminating the side of the old man's face.
The old man's eyes were bright and lively in the flickering light. There was thunderous applause on the screen. The old man turned his head and glanced at the screen. In that glance, there was emotion and relief, and finally it was merged into a smile and curse.
"Little Fox!"
…
On the same night, there were too many shocks in the country, excitement, cheers, guilt, shock, annoyance, fear, too many people, too many emotions. I don’t know how many city lights stayed on all night, and how many people were affected by different I couldn't sleep all night with my worries.
That night, far away at the auction hall in London, England, celebrities from all over the world left the table to congratulate each other, all with the intention of making good friends. The young oriental woman stood in the flashlights and praises, always smiling and unfazed. Yamato Club left in dejection through the back door when the guests were leaving.
This night, everything in the world is in an auction.
After the auction, which was similar to a press conference for the handover of the mural, the media swarmed in and asked for exclusive interviews. Xia Shao agreed to an exclusive interview with the Chinese and British media, but postponed the time until tomorrow. Everyone thought that Xia Shao would attend the dance next, but no one saw Xia Shao at the subsequent dance.
Not only was Xia Shao nowhere to be seen, Old Burton, the chairman of the Lattis Group, also did not appear at the ball. The only person hosting the ball was Wells, the heir to the Lattis Group.
Xia Shao and Old Burton were in the backyard of Ladis Manor.
In the study, a secret room opened, and Old Burton personally led Xia Shao inside. The huge mural of the Third Buddha was stored in the world's most advanced anti-theft tempered glass and stood quietly in the secret room.
"Director Xia, I guarantee that this is absolutely authentic. You can identify and inspect it at will." Old Burton smiled. Until now, he still feels distressed when he sees this mural, but now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in feeling distressed.
Xia Shao approached and admired this magnificent national treasure mural at close range, but made no move to appraise it. Whether it was true or not, she could naturally tell at a glance.
"Thank you, Mr. Burton. The mural will be shipped to the Chinese Embassy tomorrow. Our dedicated personnel to escort the mural will arrive tomorrow morning. It will be stored at your place tonight."
Old Burton was shocked when he heard this. He was surprised that Xia Shao didn't even authenticate such an important mural. How could she be so sure that it was authentic? Aren't you afraid that he will deceive her
Well, actually, he really doesn’t have the guts...
But it was rumored that Xia Shao's identification skills were very accurate. If she didn't look carefully, could she have already seen that it was genuine
Old Burton was secretly frightened, but then he became anxious again. What was anxious was that Xia Shao said that the mural would be stored at his place tonight! How can that work? If something goes wrong, how can he afford it? Even if the Chinese people arrive tomorrow, he still won't feel relieved just for this night.
"Don't worry, I will set up the formation here and nothing will be lost." After Xia Shao said this, he asked Old Burton to go out. When Old Burton heard that Xia Shao was going to set up the formation, he left in a hurry.
"Dahuang, come out, I'll leave it to you." In the secret room where Xia Shao was alone, the woman put her hands behind her hands and smiled, not knowing who she was talking to.
However, a golden thread swam out of her coat pocket. This golden thread swam to the ground. If you look closely, it looked like an earthworm, thinner than a person's little finger. Xia Shao smiled when he saw it. Dahuang's cultivation had indeed improved. Last time it was made to shrink in size, it could only control it to the thickness of a baby's arm. Now it is more advanced and free.
"The mural will be handed over to you in the next few days. Whether it is tonight or on the way back home, ensure its safety!" Xia Shao ordered.
There was a harsh and unpleasant sound in the secret room, like the howling of ghosts and wolves, and the golden python was roaring. It has truly turned into a dragon, so why does it have to act like a dog with an unscrupulous owner
Xia Shao smiled, ignored Jin Mang's complaint, turned around, suppressed her smile, and took out her mobile phone from her body.
Looking at the phone, Xia Shao lowered her eyes, turned it off, opened the back cover, took out a new phone card and replaced it. Then, he dialed a number that he had memorized by heart.
This is a dedicated contact number. The old man gave it to her before carrying out the mission.
Mr. Xu thought carefully about Xia Shao's first national mission. Although he was only helping on the periphery, Huaxia Group was the only domestic company to attend the auction summit. If something happened to the mural, Huaxia Group would be the first to be suspected. It wouldn't be a problem if it was just the Ladis Group that suspected her. What Xu Kangguo prevented was for the British to intervene and investigate and arrest Xia Shao as a spy. This kind of thing has not happened before in the history of diplomacy. In order to avoid emergencies, Xu Kangguo asked Xia Shaomo to write down a dedicated hotline number. This number was very confidential and she was not allowed to record it in her mobile phone. She could only keep it in her heart. And use a dedicated number to call someone to answer.
Even Xu Tianyin and his party didn't know about this matter.
Xia Shao did not call this number when she was invited to Ladis Manor by Old Burton. When Huaxia Group was attacked by public opinion, it did not call this number. Now, she had to call this number.
In the study room of the red-walled compound in Beijing, the live broadcast on the screen had ended, but the old man did not fall asleep. He sat in the chair behind the desk, as if waiting for something.
There was a knock on the door of the study room, and the guard came in, holding a mobile phone in his hand, "Chairman, dedicated phone number."
The old man smiled, with a deep meaning like an old fox in his bright eyes, and reached out to take it, "The dedicated phone line only has three minutes, so there is no need to announce the good news. Take the time to say what you want to say."
Xia Shao smiled on the other end of the phone, "It seems that you have expected me to make this call a long time ago, so I won't make any detours with you. Although the result of this mission is a bit unexpected, the mural has returned. What's next? Escorting the murals back to the country, Huaxia Group, as a private company, does not dare to take on this important responsibility. I request the intervention of the state to come to the UK to take over the murals and escort them back to the country."
On the other end, the old man pondered, "Well, that makes sense. The country will consider Huaxia Group's request and wait until daybreak to discuss the person who will escort the mural before making a decision."
"There is no need to discuss and decide. I recommend ready-made candidates. General Xu is in the UK now. He has devoted a lot of effort to this mission. He is also the person who best understands all the forces related to the murals. No one is more suitable than him. Escort mission." Xia Shao spoke quickly because time was limited.
Hearing that the girl who usually acted slowly was talking like she was pouring beans, the old man laughed silently behind the desk, but when he spoke, his voice was majestic and his tone was stern, "Are you teaching me to show favoritism? This is a national matter. , the country will make the decision! Do you want to interfere with the country’s decision?”
The old man's stern scolding did not deter the girl. Xia Shao raised her eyebrows on the other end of the phone, "Oh? Really... But I just promised the Ladis family that the mural will only be stored with them for one night and will be taken away early tomorrow morning. We have a dedicated person to receive it and deliver it to the embassy. Sir, there are still ten hours until morning here, and there are still three hours before the national department goes to work in the capital. You always have seven hours to discuss and decide on the candidates and send them Flying to London to perform receiving duties.”
When Xia Shao said this, she was no longer worried about the limited call time, and her tone was very leisurely, "Ah, I forgot one thing. The standard flight time from Beijing to London seems to be eleven hours and twenty minutes. You We don’t have enough time, do you need me to let the media from all over the world do it tomorrow morning?”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.
I don’t know how long it took, but the old man’s angry voice came from over there, “You bastard! You’re such a bold girl, you even dare to scheme against the country!”
Even though he was scolded like this, in the study room, the old man's face was glowing red and his eyes were filled with admiration.
The return of the murals is of great significance. In fact, even if Xia Shao didn't call, the country would definitely send someone to receive the murals and escort them back to the country. However, what he just said did not deceive Xia Shao. The candidates must be discussed and decided, and not just anyone can go if they want to.
This is mainly because this event has attracted worldwide attention. The return of murals can be described as a historic event. This event will be recorded in the annals of history and the country attaches great importance to it. Going to the UK to receive a mural cannot be done quietly. There must be a formal reception ceremony, which will be a grand event for the return of a national treasure. This event will be remembered in history, and the people who performed the reception task on behalf of the country will also be known to the world and recorded in the annals of history. This is a supreme honor, a pride that can be carried on the shoulders for a lifetime, who doesn’t want it
In peaceful times, meritorious service is rare. Is such an opportunity for honor uncommon? It’s rare even once in a hundred years!
Because of this, there are many people who want to take on this task. There are many factions in the capital, and the battle is at a fever pitch. The Wang family has just been destroyed, and there is an undercurrent of forces in the military circles who want to take over. Once the return of the mural tonight is revealed, these people will definitely make up their minds. When daybreak comes and the candidates are elected, there will definitely be a fight. Although Xu Kangguo held a high position, he did not tolerate nepotism. Although the old man felt that in this matter, his grandson had contributed to the country, and no one except him was qualified to accept this honor. However, his mission outside is confidential and cannot be made public, so for him to accept this mission, he must convince the public.
But the longer the mural stays in the UK, the greater the variables. There is not so much time for these people in the country to compete for interests. If you want to settle the matter as soon as possible, you can only use extreme measures!
Xu Kangguo was sitting in the study tonight waiting for Xia Shao's call, because she was the one who used extraordinary methods. He knew that this little fox would never be willing to give merit and honor to others.
Of course Xia Shao thought so. She rarely missed a thing, but now that it had happened, guilt had no effect. After learning that the mission would inevitably not continue, Xia Shao mentally thought about how to make up for it.
Xia Shao is well-deserved for Huaxia Group to accept the honor of bringing back the mural, but this honor should not belong to her alone. Anyone who has worked hard on this should get the credit they deserve. After much thought, the only option was to accept the mural. Moreover, the four Xu Tianyin and others previously carried out a secret mission. Even if the mission was completed, their achievements were not known to the world and were only recorded. This time accepting murals on behalf of the country is different. They will stand upright in front of the world as soldiers, accept the glory that belongs to them, and become household heroes.
They are the ones who have worked hard for this matter, and the credit and honor should belong to them. Of course, Xia Shao will not allow anyone to shamelessly take the credit.
She called Mr. Xu, and she didn't mind scheming against the country. Even if someone blamed her for making her own decisions, she wouldn't feel any pain at all - Huh? Didn’t the country send someone over immediately? The mural is in the hands of the Huaxia Group, and we are very scared, afraid that it will be stolen. What? Do you still need to discuss and decide? Oh, I'm sorry. I'm a businessman who doesn't understand state affairs. We thought someone would come soon, so we've already said what we said. I'm sorry.
Now, even if the capital sends someone immediately, time is running out. Only Xu Tianyin and his party are in the UK and can accept the mission. As for how Mr. Xu explains to the outside world that Xu Tianyin and his party can arrive in the UK on time, that is his problem.
"You girl, you will never give me problems!" Xu Kangguo angrily yelled on the other end of the phone.
Xia Shao smiled happily, "It's not that I haven't left the problem to you yet, so you can do more of your work. It's almost time, I'm hanging up the phone."
After that, Xia Shao hung up the phone without waiting for Xu Kangguo to say anything else. She is not worried that the old man will not be able to solve this problem. He has been in politics for most of his life and has never experienced any ups and downs. This matter is not a problem at all.
I took out the mobile phone card and held it in my hand. A wave of evil came over me, which destroyed the magnetic field in the card and could no longer be used.
Xia Shao changed back to her original mobile phone number and once again asked Dahuang to do a good job as a canine. Then she smiled with satisfaction and left the secret room.
Old Burton is busy outside. He has already spread the news that the mural will be handed over to the Chinese Embassy by Huaxia Group tomorrow. This cannot be blamed on him. He is also afraid that the long nights and dreams will cause more trouble in his place.
This move played into Xia Shao's heart, so she just smiled and said nothing more. Old Burton didn't dare to ask her what formation she had set up in the secret room. After hearing that she wanted to go back, he quickly sent a special car to take her back to the hotel.
In the hotel, the Huaxia Group and his party had not returned from the dance, and Xu Tianyin and four others were waiting for Xia Shao in her room.
"Ms. Xia, have the security arrangements for the mural been arranged?" Bi Fang was impatient and was the first to speak. They originally planned to go to Ladis Manor with Xia Shao tonight and guard it all night, but Xia Shao said that she would go to set up the formation. If they followed, they would be injured by the evil force of the formation, so they did not need to follow. Although they had not seen much of her ability, the strange things that night were still fresh in their memories. Seeing that even the captain was letting her go, Wang Fei and the other three had no choice but to believe in her.
In fact, Xia Shao didn't let Xu Tianyin and his entourage follow him because it was not appropriate for someone to be present on the phone call. And she didn't want the four people to know about it. She didn't need them to accept her favor, it was what they deserved.
"Don't worry, everything is safe." Xia Shao smiled and walked to the sofa. After sitting down, she rubbed her temples.
"Tired?" Xu Tianyin looked at the tiredness on the woman's face and reached out to take off the hand that was rubbing her temples. Xia Shao was stunned, and when she raised her eyes, a cup of warm water was placed in her palm. Her eyes warmed, but the man silently walked up behind her and started massaging her.
Xia Shao smiled, melted into the sofa, and closed her eyes comfortably.
In the room, Wang Fei and Bi Fang opened their eyes. One of them grinned stupidly, the other winked, while Yingzhao lowered his head and his eyes dimmed. But this time, she was more decisive than Wang Fei and Bifang. She turned around and said, "Let's go."
The moment the door closed, Xia Shao opened her eyes with a smile and looked up at Xu Tianyin. The man's eyes fell on her peaceful and relaxed eyebrows and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Her eyebrows were clearly relaxed, but she looked as tired as a lazy cat. She shook her head, "Not good."
The man frowned slightly, looked at her seriously, raised his hand, and continued to rub her. Sure enough, the woman's lips curled up, and she closed her eyes comfortably, enjoying his service for a while. After a while, she opened her eyes again, with a smile in her eyes, "Okay."
The man did not put down his hand, but his eyes fell on her face. After making sure that her expression and expression did not look like she was trying to hold on, he put his hand down.
But as soon as she put her hand down, she smiled and said, "My head doesn't hurt anymore, but it's just a little boring."
Xu Tianyin was stunned, bored
The man lowered his eyes, and his gaze naturally fell on the woman's chest. She melted into the sofa at this moment, turned slightly, and her waist turned into a wonderful arc in the sofa. At both ends of the arc, the pipa did not fall, the peaks and ridges were round, and the exotic neon lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows came in and sprinkled on her body, giving her a unique charm. .
"Senior brother, it's boring." Her voice was shallow, her brows furrowed, and she leaned sideways on the back of the chair, looking even more seductive.
The man's eyes fell on the woman's seductive chest, his eyes darkened slightly, and his breath was tinged with danger in the silent room. But he closed his eyes slightly, and for a moment, when he opened his eyes again, the dangerous aura had been suppressed. Immediately, the man stretched out his hand and caressed her chest.
But before his hand fell, he saw Xia Shao lowering his eyes, a deep smile flashing in his eyes. The smile flashed quickly, but Xu Tianyin caught it. He was slightly startled and stopped.
After a while, Xia Shao couldn't help laughing. She stood up from the sofa with a smile, turned around and faced the man. Her eyes were curved and her brows were stretched. How could she look uncomfortable at all? Not only was she very kind, but she also raised her eyebrows at him, "What do you want, senior brother?"
"You're bored." Xu Tianyin looked at her and stated the facts.
"I said boring, you should take me out for a walk." Xia Shao smiled, but her smile was very pleasant.
"Hmm." The man looked at her and realized that she was teasing him again. She is bored, but this boredom is not that boredom.
Looking at the woman's charming and smiling eyebrows, the man's eyes were slightly dazed. In a trance, he saw a fifteen-year-old girl standing under a pomegranate tree on that mountain, smiling brightly and teasing him all day long. Fast forward five years, and she still likes to tease him for fun.
Xu Tianyin's eyes were light and soft, and his thin lips were raised briefly, "Where are you going?"
"Playground."
…
It's August in London, and the autumn breeze is slightly cool. The playground was still bustling with laughter late at night, and there were many young couples having fun.
A pair of Oriental lovers walked into the amusement park holding hands. Their appearance was very eye-catching. The man was wearing black casual clothes and the woman was wearing a white sheepskin coat. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty, but no one expected that they had just doubled at the auction. The woman who has attracted the attention of the world will appear in the playground at this moment.
The two held hands and headed towards the Ferris wheel as soon as they entered the amusement park.
Under the huge Ferris wheel, the man stood in the darkness with neon lights, his eyes in a trance. The Ferris wheel has a different meaning to Xu Tianyin. When he was three years old, his parents wanted to take him here, but they could never make the trip. When they were in Hong Kong, Xia Shao had accompanied him on the Ferris wheel. Tonight, the two of them were in a foreign country, but they still chose to come here. Xu Tianyin unconsciously held Xia Shao's hand tightly and looked down at her.
Xia Shao smiled softly and said, "Let's go."
The two walked into the Ferris wheel, and the moment the door closed, only the two of them were left in the world. The scenery under their feet this time was an exotic city. The two of them hugged each other, but they felt that the world was no different.
"I've been in England for half a month." Xia Shao laid her pillow on Xu Tianyin's chest. The man's body temperature was warm and his heartbeat was heavy and strong.
"Yeah." Xu Tianyin's voice came from her chest, making her face feel itchy.
"I've been busy, and finally it's done."
"Um."
"I finally have time to go out and walk."
"Um."
"Senior brother, do you still remember what day today is?"
Xu Tianyin was silent, but his arms hugged her tighter and his voice became deeper, "Remember."
Xia Shao smiled slightly, but this smile was complicated and meant too much. Today is August 6th, which happens to be August 6th—the day the two originally planned to get engaged.
If there had not been this World Auction Summit and the task of mural painting, tonight would have been the most important day in both of their lives. But tonight, this important day became a historic day, but it was a day that the two of them felt a little regretful.
Although it is glorious, it is regrettable.
If it hadn't been for this day, Xia Shao wouldn't have been able to realize that she had such a strong intention. In the past, she always felt that she had not finished her studies and was still young, so there was no rush to start a family in the past few years. But when she promised him that she would become his fiancée on this day, but postponed it due to something else, at this moment, her mood was so low.
It turned out that I had long expected it in my heart, but I had never discovered it.
"Yin." Xia Shao smiled and raised her eyes.
Xu Tianyin was obviously startled. She rarely called him like this, except on occasions when she couldn't call him senior brother, or when the two were deeply in love, he forced her to call him. The man was slightly startled and lowered his head, but he just happened to see her take a step back, raise her eyes and smile at him. She spread her hands out at some point, and there was a red box lying quietly in her palm.
The box was half the size of a palm, and looked small and cute in the girl's pink hands, but the heart-shaped shape made him stunned.
Xia Shao smiled, and while Xu Tianyin was stunned, he slowly opened the box. In the neon light of the sky, a man's ring was quietly embedded in it. The man's eyes fell on the ring, and his expression became even more stunned. Xia Shao lowered her eyes with a smile and looked at her hand, where she wore a diamond inlaid with diamonds and gold beads. Her eyes were very soft and she smiled softly: "You put this ring on for me, so, I still owe you a ring.”
Xia Shao held the ring in her palm. It was a men's ring. The ring was round and looked ordinary and featureless, but it was carefully designed by her. He was too cold and aloof. She didn't want him to wear anything angular. She wanted him to be less cold and a little more soft. She knew that he liked black, and there was no color that suited his temperament better than black. It would be very mysterious if he could wear a black stone ring on his finger, but she chose not to use black. In the center of the rounded ring is a circle of embossed white jade. The corners of the white jade still have light yellow patina. It looks like ancient jade, but the jade pieces are polished very thin. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be difficult to imagine such ingenious craftsmanship in the world. It can actually make the jade piece stick to the ring surface. Moreover, there are actually seven peony flowers in the carved shape!
The flower does not look squeamish. The sculptor's technique is extremely exquisite. The yellowed parts are carved gracefully. From a distance, the elegant golden peonies reveal a noble demeanor and are so lifelike that it is amazing!
Even an inexperienced person can tell at a glance that regardless of the material of this ring, the exquisite craftsmanship is worth a lot of money.
In fact, to Xia Shao, how could the value be worth her thoughts
The ancients regarded peony as the flower of love, and she offered seven of them to express her love for the Chinese Valentine's Day. This jade is not an ordinary ancient jade, but an ancient jade from the Han Dynasty. The jade body has been nourished by the vitality of heaven and earth for thousands of years, and it already has a strong golden aura. A lot of materials were wasted to make this ring. Because Xia Shao's design requires the jade pieces to be polished very thin, and the inlaying process is more demanding, even the most skilled craftsmen have made many bad ones. A small piece of jade only completed this ring.
I have been preparing this ring since the beginning of the year. I wanted to give it to Xu Tianyin as a surprise today, but the engagement date was delayed...
At that time, the ring was not yet completed, but Xia Shao asked the craftsmen to continue working on it. On the day of the auction summit, Chen Manguan and others came to London and finally handed it over to her.
Tonight, Xia Shao still took it out, even though tonight was no longer the day when the two were engaged. But in her mind, what she was waiting for was always this day.
Xu Tianyin's eyes fell on the ring, and he never looked away from it from the moment he saw it. Neon reflected on the man's face, and the fine light and shadow changed as the Ferris wheel slowly rose. She had only seen such a look once. She remembered that year, she knitted a scarf for him with her own hands, and he was also so moved.
This man got very little. Just a little bit was enough to move him.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Tianyin raised his eyes, and his dark and deep eyes met the girl's quiet and soft eyes. He saw a pool of warm spring in those eyes. He fell into it and was in a trance ever since.
But she chuckled in his daze, still teasing him, but speaking with a nasal voice, "What for? Don't you want to wear it?"
Xu Tianyin did not answer, but stretched out his hand and hugged Xia Shao into his arms, tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body. She had some difficulty breathing, but she smiled without saying a word and let him hold her. She just smiled and looked into the distance, and saw the Ferris wheel reaching the top. The exotic scenery became an unforgettable memory in her life.
I don't know how long it took before Xu Tianyin slowly let go of Xia Shao and looked at the ring in her hand. Xia Shao actually smiled at this time, and the bad factor arose again. She pushed Xu Tianyin further away, cleared her throat, and actually performed a Western gentleman's salute, and said with a smile: "Dear young lady, will you marry me?"
The man was stunned when he saw the woman opposite her eyes, which were crescent-shaped and as cheerful as crescent moons, but the meaning was too flat.
"Yes? No?" she asked, holding the ring in her hand, tempting him.
Xu Tianyin turned his head slightly and looked at the scenery outside. The sharp lines of his face in the neon lights were soft, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised. This time, he didn't fall back for a long time.
"Brother, three seconds, do you want it or not?" she forced him.
Xu Tianyin turned her head, looking at her smile that was determined to make him suffer a little, her deep eyes narrowed slightly, and the dangerous aura in the small space quickly made her expression change.
She stepped back alertly, and he reached out to grab her wrist! Xia Shao's eyes changed, she smiled interestingly, and Xu Tianyin grabbed her wrist. But the moment he caught it, he raised his palm and threw the ring into the air. She raised her other hand to catch it!
Xu Tianyin's reaction speed was also very fast. He pressed Xia Shao's wrist and reached out to pick it up! The man's arm was longer than the woman's, which was an obvious advantage. Xia Shao narrowed his eyes and hooked his foot, reaching Xu Tianyin's ankle. The speed of the kick was comparable to hers, Xu Tianyin's legs came over, broke and leaned against each other! The hand that was grabbing into the air suddenly retracted before it even touched the ring box.
Xia Shao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a crisis in her waist. Looking around, she saw a man's finger pointing at her waist. She tilted her body and had to lean to the side. The hand that was grabbing the ring in the air deviated by a small distance. point.
It was at this gap that Xu Tianyin stretched out his hand to fish it out. Seeing that the ring was in hand, Xia Shao, not to be outdone, tried his best to reach up and fished it out!
However, the red box reached Xu Tianyin's hands first. The man held the box with soft eyes and shook it at Xia Shao. Xia Shao raised her eyebrows, but she didn't look angry. Instead, she raised her eyebrows, smiled, and took a look at the box.
Xu Tianyin was stunned, opened the box and saw - it was empty!
Xia Shao chuckled lightly, waved his hand, and held a men's ring between his thumb and index finger as a demonstration.
Xu Tianyin still put the box away and put it away. He looked up at the ring in Xia Shao's hand and took action again.
Another round of defense battle began between the two.
All I could see was that on the high Ferris wheel, in the neon light and shadow, two figures fighting each other intertwined like dancing in the foreign sky. The people below gradually realized that something was wrong and pointed to the sky, but the two people in the sky suddenly stopped fighting.
The people below didn't know what was going on. They just looked up and watched as the Ferris wheel slowly descended. Ten minutes later, the Ferris wheel approached the ground and the crowd whistled in applause.
