Chapter 171 - He Was Her Soulmate
Master, did you know?
I recognize the Garden of Eden because… I designed that for you.
How nice, to think that a work I designed for you back then would one day be worn by you.
How nice.
But she could never admit it.
“I liked this pair of cufflinks a lot, so I ordered someone to create this same design in fifteen different colors,” Ye Ling said, showing clearly his profound love for it.
Shen Qianshu was shocked, and she looked at him blankly. He did not look like someone who would show his preferences so openly.
“You are looking at me like an idiot.” Ye Ling started to become mean again. “Are you scolding me?”
He was like a standard fetishism.
“Nope, I think that that’s quite nice.”
It was like a mysterious flower had bloomed in her heart, intoxicatingly fragrant.
She designed this pair of cufflinks when she was still in university.
One night, she dreamt of her first encounter with Ye Ling. It was an amazing sight, and there was a castle in a fairytale with a handsome man. It was like an ancient legend: exciting, fascinating, and full of mystery.
As a result, she found inspiration for the Garden of Eden.
The gemstone on the cufflinks was made of cat’s eye stone.
After the collection was given to Shen Lin, cat’s eye stone was really expensive. Thus, Shen Lin changed it to sapphire instead. After mass producing, there was tanzanite, spinel, and all kinds of colored gemstones, but there was just no cat’s eye stone.
Her design required a cat’s eye stone in order to showcase the work’s most magnificent radiance.
She felt regretful but also glad.
Regretful that her own work was changed messily by someone else.
However, she was glad that the thing she designed for Master was unique and difficult to replicate.
“This pair of cufflinks has to use cat’s eye stone in order to stand out,” Shen Qianshu said. “The purple cat’s eye stone you wore the previous time looks really beautiful.”
“Shen Qianshu, look carefully again.” Ye Ling moved his hand away from the steering wheel. and placed it in front of her. The unique cufflink appeared right in front of her eyes.
On the lone side of the gemstone, there was only a ray of light. The surrounding colors were on the darker side and did not look like cat’s eye stone at first glance. However, when the interior car light was turned on, the cat’s eye stone’s radiance spread out to both sides, revealing a bright radiance. The colors on the two sides differed greatly from each other and were exceptionally beautiful.
Shen Qianshu was slightly surprised. “Master, is this an open jewel?”
“You are such an expert.” It was rare for Ye Ling to compliment her, and it was also the first time he recognized her ability as a jewelry appraiser. Not many jewelry appraisers could determine a cat’s eye stone’s state just by using their naked eye.
“I was blind. I thought that it was a sapphire.”
“You are blind, and this is also not the first time I found out.” Ye Ling arrogantly pulled his hand back.
Shen Qianshu could not calm herself down.
In the castle back then, Master had criticized her designs countless of times before.
Depending only on her passion then, her designs were really rubbish and without soul.
Her designs after that slowly became more copious.
It was her biggest pain that Shen Lin used this pair of cufflinks. She had told Shen Lin back then that she was not allowed to use the cufflinks. However, Shen Lin treated her like her enemy. She used this pair of cufflinks in an international competition and went on to be awarded as champion, but she did not understand the meaning behind this pair of cufflinks and did not know how to bring out the cufflinks’ greatest radiance.
A mere copycat!
Shen Qianshu looked at the jewelry sales figure back then, and the cufflinks, which was targeted for men, was actually ranked first. Her heart felt empty. In the end, no one could understand her design. All they saw was genius designer Shen Lin’s talent.
