He Jingyao came from a privileged background, and though she hadn't actually seen the blood jade, she had some knowledge of it.
So, upon seeing the jade artifact on the table that resembled blood jade, she quickly walked forward and began to observe it closely, then reached out and started stroking it.
What's more, this warm jade was cool in summer and warm in winter, a rare treasure.
"It's so alike, it's exactly like the blood jade in my memory!"
"Ye Fei, how did you get it?"
He Jingyao asked doubtfully.
Then, Ye Fei recounted the process of obtaining his blood jade to He Jingyao in brief.
"So that's how it is!"
"Your luck is indeed quite good!"
He Jingyao couldn't help but admire Ye Fei's luck.
"Since you've finished asking your questions, let's start carving now!"
"You be my assistant, and just hand me some basic tools when needed."
Ye Fei glanced at the time and found it was already three in the afternoon.
"Ye Fei, don't push yourself too hard!"
"If the carving fails, we'll have wasted everything!"
He Jingyao wasn't sure how much Ye Fei's words held true.
"I happen to know a master carver, we can hand the carving task over to him!"
"What do you think?"
Whether they could successfully obtain the preliminary spot this time depended entirely on the blood jade Ye Fei held.
Therefore, success was imperative, and failure was not an option.
Not the slightest mistake could be tolerated!
"Why, you really want me to show off my skills first, don't you?"
Ye Fei said helplessly.
"Since you don't believe me, why don't I carve something for you first?"
Ye Fei picked up a carving tool and began to carve a lifelike tiger on the very edge of the blood jade.
"How is it, my carving skills are not bad, right?"
"Am I qualified?"
Ye Fei looked up and asked.
At that moment, He Jingyao was completely immersed in Ye Fei's fluid carving.
Suppressing the shock in her heart, she gave Ye Fei a thumbs-up and said,
"Amazing, truly amazing!"
"Your carving skills are more than qualified!"
"Then everything is entrusted to you!"
He Jingyao looked at Ye Fei, her heart pounding, and said.
"Don't worry, I'll start carving now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Fei's expression changed instantly.
He held the carving knife with a solemn expression and began to carve rapidly.
Ye Fei's childhood studies were extremely diverse, and carving was naturally one of them.
Swish, swish, swish.
The air became extremely quiet.
He Jingyao also looked on with anticipation.
As time passed, Ye Fei's carving reached the latter half.
He Jingyao had also dabbled in carving for a while and knew the difficulty of the art.
Ye Fei's speed had far surpassed her understanding.
It was simply too fast.
Just as she was lost in thought, Ye Fei completed the final stroke of the carving.
"Take a look, are you satisfied with my carving?"
"It's been a while since I carved, my hands are a bit stiff."
Ye Fei rotated his slightly numb arm and spoke.
He Jingyao, standing beside him, couldn't help but twitch her lips at Ye Fei's words.
"Okay, let me see!"
He Jingyao carefully examined the jade artifact Ye Fei had carved from all sides.
She then realized that both in terms of the fineness of the carving and the technique, it could only be described as perfect!
"Ye Fei, what do you eat to grow up?"
"How do you know how to do everything?"
He Jingyao couldn't help but ask.
"You wouldn't know this, but since I was a child, whatever I did, I learned it after seeing it once!"
"Otherwise, the old man wouldn't have squeezed me so hard!"
Ye Fei grumbled.
"That's great, the gift we need to send tomorrow is settled."
"As for the remaining blood jade, Ye Fei, you can keep it yourself."
He Jingyao reminded him.
"It's useless for me to have this thing, if you need it, I'll give it all to you!"
Ye Fei said with a hint of disdain.
"Are you serious?"
"You're really willing to give me such a large piece of blood jade?"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm telling you, once you give it to me, you can't take it back!"
He Jingyao warned.
"Take it then!"
Ye Fei said carelessly.
Seeing that Ye Fei showed no intention of going back on his word, He Jingyao directly put the piece of blood jade into the bag she was carrying.
Then she glanced at Ye Fei's expression and saw that he was in a good mood, and then apologized.
"Ye Fei, I actually came today to apologize on behalf of my mother."
"I'm sorry you've been through so much hardship."
"It's not good for you to keep staying in a hotel, I have a large apartment nearby, you can stay at my place."
"What do you think?"
He Jingyao suggested.
"Never mind, I didn't take your mother's words to heart."
"I'm quite comfortable living here now."
"I won't trouble you."
Ye Fei shook his head and ultimately refused.
"No, you must come and stay at my place!"
"Besides, I have a nanny there who can also take care of your meals!"
"Hurry up and pack, and come with me now!"
He Jingyao said firmly.
In the end, Ye Fei couldn't refuse He Jingyao's insistence and had to follow her to her nearby apartment.
"Ye Fei, this is the apartment I used to live in, and it's very convenient here."
"You can stay in the room next to mine."
He Jingyao led Ye Fei to a suite adjacent to the master bedroom.
"Take a look, is there anything else you need, you can tell me, and I'll have the aunt buy it and send it over."
Ye Fei looked around carefully and was quite satisfied with the room.
"It's fine, there's no need to add anything."
"I won't be staying long anyway, once I get the annulment letter, I can leave."
Ye Fei replied.
As soon as He Jingyao heard Ye Fei's answer, the smile on her face instantly turned into a blank expression.
Then, without looking back, she left the room and closed herself in the master bedroom with a bang.
"Alas, did this little girl eat gunpowder?"
"Weren't things fine just a moment ago?"
"Why did her expression change so suddenly?"
"Did I say something wrong again?"
Ye Fei looked confused, not knowing how he had offended her again.
After racking his brain, Ye Fei still had no answer, so he gave up.
Until dinner that evening, He Jingyao still seemed unwilling to acknowledge Ye Fei.
He could only rub his nose and look helpless.
As He Jingyao finished her dinner and was about to return to her room again, Ye Fei stopped her and asked.
"My dear aunt, even if you're going to sentence me to death, you should at least tell me why!"
Ye Fei said with a wry smile.
"Think about it yourself!"
He Jingyao was still sulking and ignored Ye Fei completely, pushing him aside and continuing towards her bedroom.
Ye Fei's reaction was quick, and he stepped forward again, grabbing He Jingyao's slender arm.
