“That… Thank you so much for earlier.”

Xu Tongxuan had just returned to her usual color. Although her face was still a little pink, she didn’t feel as embarrassed as initially. Instead, she felt relaxed because of his joking words.

But Gu Yuexi’s expression, speech, and tone stayed almost unchanging.

As seen, highly intelligent people were really superior in certain aspects. For example, Si Yiyan in the beginning.

“Miss Xu, don’t be so formal. Although we haven’t met, you are a close friend of my sis-in-law. The two of you are as close as sisters. If I don’t save you, I’m afraid I won’t be able to explain things to sis-in-law.. It’s also my honor to help a beautiful lady like Miss Xu.”

The previous sentence was true.

The last sentence was a compliment and directly expressed his goodwill and sincerity.

“No matter what, I still have to thank you anyway.”

If she fell down, no matter if anyone saw it or not, it would be quite awkward and embarrassing. Xu Tongxuan really appreciated him.

Gu Yuexi was a pretty decent person. Although it was their first meeting, and his words might seem a little abrupt and frivolous if spoken from other men’s mouths, but from Gu Yuexi, they only sounded handsome, extraordinary, and very sincere.

Xu Tongxuan was not that kind of woman who liked to listen to a man’s greasy tone and sweet words—she always maintained her reason and logic over her feelings. Otherwise, with her family background and appearance, it would be impossible for her to still be single.

After this interaction, not only was she not disgusted by Gu Yuexi, she even had some faint feelings for him—although a crush would be an exaggeration.

At best, it was appreciation.

After all, such a decent man with a good upbringing, most women would be swooning.

Gu Yuexi joked. “Since Miss Xu is so serious, it’s better for you to invite me to dinner as a token of thanks.”

First time meeting and he was arranging for a next…

If Ninth Si found out about his speed, he would be appalled.

Xu Tongxuan was really stunned this time. He only helped stabilize her, a word of thanks should be enough. It seemed a little exaggerated to treat him to dinner as thanks. But as Gu Yuexi seemed to be just joking and his tone was not disgusting, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse.

Gu Yuexi felt her hesitation and his eyes dimmed, second-guessing if he was being too abrupt. In order not to arouse her resentment, he quickly backtracked. “If Miss Xu…”

Xu Tongxuan interrupted him and smiled. “No problem, I will invite you to dinner someday.”

She thought that since Gu Yuexi was a friend of Ninth Si and had a close relationship with Xinya, she was not in a good position to refuse. Besides, she did not hate him. It could just be dinner with a new friend.

Gu Yuexi laughed. “Well, I will wait for Miss Xu’s invite.”

Gu Yuexi was still very happy about scoring his first date. A man of power like him had the same thinking as Ninth Si. Anything he desired, he would try to obtain without hesitation, turning it into his. This was a common problem for all men with this obsession.

Xu Tongxuan nodded with a smile.

Gu Yuexi handed out a personal business card he took from the pocket of his jacket. “For convenience, let’s exchange contact information!”

Xu Tongxuan took the white business card with only a mobile phone number written in gold on it. For courtesy, she also handed her own personal business card. “I will contact you, then.”

It took less than ten minutes for the two people to meet, exchange contact information, and arrange for a next meeting.

Clearly, Gu Yuexi had amazing picking up skills.

…

Meanwhile, Wen Xinya didn’t know that this scary man had successfully approached her good friend using her name and was ready to extend his devil’s claws to her.

If she knew, she would yell at Gu Yuexi and expose his dark and insidious actions to Xu Tongxuan, warning her to be careful of him.

Gu Yuexi was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and Xu Tongxuan was a delicious little sheep in front of him. How could she watch her good friend fall into the wolf’s grasp?

Unfortunately, she had no clue.

At this moment, she had already completed the design of the wedding dress and accessories that she needed and couldn’t suppress the excitement and joy in her heart as she ran to find Si Yiyan.

“Yan, what do you think about the wedding dress and accessories I designed?”

Wen Xinya poured her heart and soul into this design. It took her a whole month to complete the design. During the designing process, she discarded countless manuscripts. This was her most satisfactory work at present.

If it were not for the restriction of the wedding drawing near, she would design even better.

As Si Yiyan took the design drawings and looked at them carefully, his eyes showed his shock. “Your design works are really amazing, especially the accessories. Each one contains the understanding and essence of the ancient jewelry culture of Country Z. It’s a manifestation of our spiritual culture. After so many years, your accomplishments in jewelry design have really reached another peak.”

Her design works were good in the past, but there was always something lacking.

But now her designs were very mature. After years of improvement and polishing, whether it was the embodiment or the inspiration and concept behind them, everything was perfect. This was a designer’s true sign of maturation.

The interpretation of the concepts, the expression of the inspiration, and the soul value of the work, they were the pinnacle of jewelry design.

And the manifestation of cultural spirit was an even higher pinnacle of jewelry design.

Back in the days, the Dragon Soul and Puerile Phoenix designed by Mo Yunyao were both manifestations of their nation’s cultural spirit. Thus, she was hailed as the world’s best jewelry designer.

As for Xinya, after winning the Milan World Expo International Jewelry Design Competition, becoming a world-famous jewelry design master seven years ago, and giving up on the French Vogue International Jewelry Association Competition three years ago, she finally stood at the same level Mo Yunyao was at—the world’s top jewelry designer.

“I think my works can be designed better. My limited understanding of the Han costumes and various jewelry styles does not fully reflect the essence of their culture. Although I have recently read up a lot about this, I’m still lacking.”

Her work couldn’t be more perfect, but it was limited by her lack of depth in her knowledge of the culture. But Si Yiyan was very profound and had a deeper understanding of this aspect than her. However, recently, Si Yiyan had been busy planning the wedding and she had no chance to ask him.
