"Rare in the world?"
"Is it that powerful?"
Qin Xuan walked over with a smile, feigning curiosity.
Li Hao nodded excitedly, pointing at the photo on the screen. "It's all over the internet!"
"Let me read it to you!"
"This peerless violet jade, a glass-type imperial violet, is flawless and crack-free throughout. It maintains a clear luster even under natural light, making it an undisputed masterpiece among violet jades!"
"Furthermore, its volume reaches 3.32 cubic decimeters, with an overall weight of 11 kilograms, or 55,000 carats!"
"It's more than 5.8 times larger than the previously world-renowned 'Star of Imperial Jade'!"
"It is the undisputed King of Violet, hailed by all as the world's number one violet!"
"Its value is immeasurable!"
Glass-type imperial violet?
11 kilograms?
Wasn't it the imperial violet weighing 24 kilograms?
Hearing the data Li Hao read, Qin Xuan was taken aback.
He had initially thought Li Hao and the others were referring to the glass-type imperial violet he had unearthed at the mine.
However, neither the color nor the weight matched.
This meant that this violet jade was another exquisite piece discovered in Myanmar, not the one he had found earlier.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan felt even more inclined to tease them.
After all, his own violet jade had already been sent to Shang Ya upstairs.
"Isn't it just a stone weighing over twenty pounds?"
"How can it be as amazing as you say?"
Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow and said dismissively.
Li Hao puffed out her chest, immediately indignant.
"What do you mean, a stone weighing over twenty pounds?!"
"This is jade, it's a gemstone!"
"Look for yourself!"
Saying that, Li Hao pulled the screen closer to Qin Xuan and pointed at the crystal-clear jade.
"Look at its size, look at its luster!"
"Wow..."
"It's simply my dream stone!"
Li Hao finished speaking, her eyes filled with longing stars.
But Qin Xuan didn't care about that.
He immediately teased, "It's big and lustrous, but it's still just a stone, isn't it?"
"Pah!"
"I already told you it's a gemstone!"
"Hmph, you men will never understand the preciousness of gemstones!"
Seeing Li Hao's cute, huffy expression, Qin Xuan couldn't help but chuckle secretly, knowing he shouldn't tease her any further.
He said with a deliberately tantalizing tone, "Then, do you want to see a gemstone that's even bigger and more lustrous than this 'world's number one violet'?"
Qin Xuan deliberately emphasized the words "bigger" and "more lustrous" when he spoke, immediately capturing the attention of the four girls.
Yun Qing and Qing Fang nodded.
Only Li Hao, after her eyes lit up for a moment, snorted, "Do you think such gemstones grow on trees? Bigger and better-looking?"
"Didn't the media say it's the world's number one violet!"
"Do you even know what 'world's number one' means?"
Qin Xuan smiled and said with exaggerated tone, "Oh~ is that so!"
"Then you stay here alone and look at your world's number one violet."
"Yun Qing, Qing Fang, let's go!"
After speaking, Qin Xuan made a move as if to leave.
This time, Li Hao couldn't sit still. She quickly got up and followed Yun Qing.
Seeing this, Qin Xuan directly blocked Li Hao's path and continued to tease, "Hey, hey, hey!"
"Madam."
"Don't you not believe there are gemstones better than that piece of jade?"
"Then why are you following us?"
Li Hao's face flushed, and she stubbornly retorted, "Of course I don't believe it!"
"I'm going with you just to expose your lie, you big pig's trotter!"
After saying that, Li Hao turned and walked away quickly, afraid of revealing her desire to see the gemstone.
Qin Xuan: "..."
They arrived at the nineteenth floor with Li Hao and the other four.
As soon as they exited the elevator, Qin Xuan saw many security guards patrolling the floor, each holding a baton.
Needless to say, they must be responsible for protecting the imperial violet.
And these security guards were indeed diligent. As soon as they saw Qin Xuan and the others emerging from the elevator, they immediately approached them.
"Sir, I apologize, Shang Ya Jewelry is closed for the day. Please come back earlier tomorrow."
Qin Xuan smiled and waved his hand. "You've misunderstood. I'm not here to buy anything."
"The owner of Shang Ya Jewelry, Xiao Ya, is my girlfriend."
The security guard was taken aback. "May I ask for your name?"
"Qin Xuan," Qin Xuan replied.
Upon hearing Qin Xuan's name, the security guard immediately cleared the way. Qin Xuan thanked him with a smile and then led the group into Shang Ya.
As soon as they entered the Shang Ya exhibition hall, the four girls were captivated by the purple jade displayed in the center.
It was round in shape, about the size of a basketball.
The stone body was crystal clear, and under the spotlight, its luster was even and noble.
It looked much, much better than the "world's number one violet" they had seen online.
"Qin Xuan, you're here?"
Seeing Qin Xuan and the five of them enter from the doorway, Xiao Ya walked over happily and hooked her arm around Qin Xuan's.
At this moment, she was as happy as a child.
Qin Xuan smiled and nodded. "Boss Xiao, do you like it?"
Xiao Ya responded, "I love it!"
"This is the second-best gift I've ever received!"
Qin Xuan was stunned. "Then what was the best one?"
"It was the bracelet you gave me."
As she spoke, Xiao Ya raised her left hand, revealing the completed high-ice floating-flower bracelet on her wrist.
Her face was beaming with happiness, indescribably joyful.
"A gift?"
"Second best, first best?"
"Could it be that this massive violet jade was a gift from President Qin to the boss's wife???"
Hearing their conversation, Li Hao and the other four immediately understood.
They first looked at the bracelet on Xiao Ya's hand, then at the exquisite imperial violet in the distance.
They were so astonished that their mouths hung open.
Especially Li Hao, who realized she had been teased by Qin Xuan, her face instantly turned red.
She felt incredibly embarrassed recalling how she had just told Qin Xuan that he didn't understand gemstones.
However, fortunately, she secretly glanced at Qin Xuan and Yun Qing. They didn't seem to be dwelling on the matter.
So, in a moment, she gradually returned to normal.
"Yun Qing, Li Hao, Qin Xuan said you also like violet jade, so why don't you go take a look?"
"If there are no surprises, this piece of violet jade should be the true world's number one."
Leaning gently in Qin Xuan's arms, Xiao Ya smiled and said to Yun Qing and the others.
As soon as she said this, even the usually introverted Yun Qing's eyes lit up instantly. "Boss's wife, is that really okay?"
Xiao Ya nodded. "Of course. We are all friends, what's not to be okay with?"
With Xiao Ya's permission, the four of them excitedly surrounded the violet jade.
Seeing this, Qin Xuan smiled faintly. "As expected, women cannot resist its allure."
"Of course," Xiao Ya rubbed against Qin Xuan in his arms, finding a more comfortable position to lean against.
Just then, Qin Xuan's phone rang.
