Chapter 1409: Do You Want Me to Massage You

At this moment, Wen Xinya was unaware that Xia Ruya and Ning Shuqian had planned to destroy the relative that she loved and cherished the most. Following the heirloom sales strategy, she was extremely busy. She had to do everything personally, from finalizing the guest list to handling the logistics. Everything had to be perfect.

Also, Teacher Ji had recently increased her workload in her jewelry design courses. Although she did not have to attend classes, she could still feel the stress of studying.

She was also in the midst of the second round of the Milan International Jewelry Design Competition. The theme of the design was gold, which was of no difficulty for Wen Xinya. However, there were many fierce competitors in the competition this time around. On top of that, the results of the second round would affect that of the finals. As such, Wen Xinya could not treat this lightly.

Wen Xinya had come up with three different designs for an earring, necklace, and ring. She designed each of them wholeheartedly. They were all unique and she could not decide which one to submit for the competition.

Si Yiyan took her design blueprints from her. After looking at them carefully, he decided to pick the necklace. “This seven-treasures jade necklace is really good. Submit this one for the competition!”

The necklace was designed with gold, jade, and pearls. The chain was made of gold, forming a lace of small exquisite flowers. In the middle was a refined white jade pendant. Below it was seven different colored jades, each connected to the pendant by a delicate golden lace. It was grand and resplendent.

Wen Xinya frowned and said, “Jade accessories… Although they were loved by our ancestors, they are not as appreciated by people now.”

The seven-treasures jade necklace was Wen Xinya’s favorite among the three designs. She was inspired by Si Yiyan who was Buddhist, and jade was a treasure of Buddha.

Gold, silver, glazed glass, tridacna, agate, pearls, and rose gemstone were used to form the seven treasure jade. Being made from all these treasures, this jade was also known as “Infinite Light”. The heavenly Buddha wore this jade and accepted its offering.

Si Yiyan spoke slowly and gave his opinion. “This jade now is not appreciated because it is rich in religious culture. Religion itself is a mysterious and interesting culture. Once a religious culture is presented to a crowd, people will be attracted by its mystery and will try to learn more about its background.”

Xinya’s designs were all intelligent and spiritual. Take this seven treasure jade necklace, for example. It was full of Buddhist culture yet it was still magnificent and trendy.

The religion was perfectly trendy as well, which was the most appealing factor of this seven treasure jade necklace.

Si Yiyan could imagine how this seven-treasure jade design would rock the world of jewelry design. It would bring forth a new trend of religious culture in jewelry.

He could tell from this design that Xinya’s jewelry design skills were a level above others. She was already starting to reach the level of a jewelry design master. There was no need for him to worry.

Si Yiyan continued, “This jade is not only the infinite light in Buddhism, but it has the meaning of eternal youth as well. It had been passed down to us during the Tang Dynasty along with Buddhism. Accessories of this jade were the most fashionable at some point. It was more precious than a simple jade, brighter than glazed glass and more magnificent than crystals. As such, it became one of the most loved accessories by noble girls. It ignited interest in religious culture in a unique way, allowing this special jade to be passed down the long history of China and be part of its rich culture.”

“This was also the reason I designed the necklace with seven treasure jades.” It was one of the most precious and bright gems in the world, yet it was not widely appreciated. Although it was once popular as a representation of religion, it was now buried in the past.

“The seven treasure jade design is not only bold but also meaningful. This is a breakthrough among all the jewelry designs. This is also something a master yearns for. It’s perfect.”

Si Yiyan had nothing but praise for her. It was a display of true talent by Xinya, and her progress in jewelry design was just shocking. While this was the result of being inspired by one of the many designs Mo Yunyao left for her and also Ji Shihan’s guidance, Xinya was still a legend herself.

In just a short time, she was able to come up with such a soulful and meaningful design.

He could already imagine how famous Xinya would be when this design was revealed to the world.

Wen Xinya could not help but ask, “Really?”

Si Yiyan laughed. “In this world, only the flawless and brilliant gold can be compared to this jade. The Fahua Scripture mentioned that this precious treasure was worth hundreds and thousands of gold ingots. It seems only gold can be used to measure the worth of this gem. The seven treasure jade necklace is a perfect combination of jade and gold. It’s brilliant, magnificent, and splendid!

Who knew Xinya could come up with such an inspirational design.

It was flawless just like Mo Yunyao’s Puerile Phoenix. However, Xinya’s experience in jewelry design was still lacking and there was still more for her to learn to achieve the perfect soulful design.

But, Xinya was already far ahead.

It was only a matter of time before she achieved the same level as Mo Yunyao.

Wen Xinya pouted. “Don’t just praise me. The more you do, the less sure I am.”

She was afraid that Si Yiyan was just flattering her.

Although she knew that it was not possible that he was doing that, she was still uneasy.

Si Yiyan lightly pinched her nose and said, “No matter how much people praise your designs and your talent, it’s only true if you have faith in yourself.”

The seven treasure necklace was a huge breakthrough for Xinya. For her, this meant that she had stepped into a new world. In this world, she was but a child who had just learned to walk which was why she was filled with doubt.

It was just like if a person suddenly got promoted and changed to another position, he would also start to doubt himself and feel uneasy.

Wen Xinya thought for a while and laughed. She rubbed her forehead and said, “Maybe I’m just too tired recently. My mind is always running.”

Exactly, even if she believed in Si Yiyan’s taste, she had to have faith in herself too. As a designer, the most important thing was her own opinions and feelings.

Si Yiyan whispered into her ears, “Do you want me to massage you? I’ll help get rid of your exhaustion and let you relax.”

Si Yiyan’s voice was so gentle that Wen Xinya felt an itch in her heart. She blushed as she pushed him away. “I… I will go and submit my design!”

After she was done, she ran away before Si Yiyan could react.

According to past experiences, massaging always ended up with them in bed.
