“Of course, without the boss, today’s me, everything I have belongs to the boss. Feel free to take what you like,” He Le patted his chest and said.
“Thank you.”
Wang Jinhe chose a blue diamond, a red diamond, along with two pink diamonds of different sizes and a purple diamond.
While searching, she also found a black diamond that looked exceptionally beautiful.
“That’s all for now.”
“Aren’t you interested in anything else?”
“I’ll pass on the others for now. Let’s save them to make some money later. Just wait, these items will fill your pockets,” Wang Jinhe remarked confidently.
He Le became even more delighted. “Sister-in-law, I’ll be eagerly awaiting your designs.”
“No problem.”
“Pangzi, what about the good things you brought back?”
“I’ll go get them right away.”
Soon, Pangzi and the others carried out a larger box.
“These are mirrors from Persia, incredibly clear. Sister-in-law, feel free to choose. Once you’ve picked, I’ll sell them at a high price to the wealthy young ladies in the capital.”
Wang Jinhe gazed at the mirrors in the box, marveling at their clarity, comparable to their mirrors.
Wang Jinhe selected one for herself, another for Gu Jiuning, and one each for Ming Wanning, Lou Manqing, and Nan Qiao, to gift to the young ladies from the Ming family.
Gifting such rare items wouldn’t be embarrassing; it would instead be prestigious.
Moreover, the luxurious patterns on these mirrors were exquisitely detailed.
“I’ll take these few.”
“Sure thing.”
“By the way, I also have some toys for kids.” Thinking about the children in Su Yu’s household, He Le rummaged through his findings.
He brought out an ancient music box, a few pocket watches, and a hand-cranked fan.
Wang Jinhe looked at the hand-cranked fan with a peculiar expression.
“What’s wrong?”
“I actually know how to make this thing.”
As soon as Wang Jinhe mentioned this, He Le’s eyes lit up as he looked at her. “Sister-in-law, really? Can you create the designs? This could earn quite a bit of money if we produce them for the summer.”
“I’ll provide you with the designs along with the diamond items.”
“Great, you truly are like a sister to me,” He Le said joyfully.
“By the way, boss, I also have a few Western mirrors left. Do you want them? If not, I’ll go sell them to those fools,” He Le added.
“Give me two of them.”
“Sure.”
Returning home with a full load, Wang Jinhe was ecstatic upon leaving, especially at the thought of those diamonds, which lifted her spirits even more.
Upon arriving home, Su Yu noticed Wang Jinhe’s continued excitement. He reached out, pulling her into his arms, and asked, “Are you that happy?”
“Of course. Diamonds in our era are considered luxury items. Even a small one costs tens of thousands. The ones I got from Pangzi could fetch prices in the tens of millions to billions, and people back home often buy such diamond rings as wedding rings.”
“What is a wedding ring?”
“It’s a ring that spouses exchange during their marriage.”
“In that case, sketch a unique pair for us to wear.”
“Sure.”
Wang Jinhe was overjoyed at her diamonds.
Seeing her enthusiasm, Su Yu shook his head. To them, these items were simply decorative, with limited practical use. However, if she liked them, he was happy to let her keep them.
That very evening, Wang Jinhe sketched out several designs for diamond bracelets, necklaces, and a pair of rings.
After finishing the sketches, Wang Jinhe showed them to Su Yu.
Su Yu tossed aside the towel in his hand, ran his fingers through his hair to dry it, then took the sketches from Wang Jinhe to examine.
Upon seeing them, he was also impressed.
If these designs were brought to life, they would likely become a sensation throughout the capital.
However, his favorite was a seemingly simple yet luxurious pair of rings, adorned with black diamonds.
Wang Jinhe was too engrossed in her thoughts to notice Su Yu’s actions, missing the moment he discreetly pocketed the sketch.
“I have so many more ideas. By the way, once the rings are made, we could auction them off. Each design would be unique, made only once,” Wang Jinhe chattered on, completely unaware of the dangerous glint in Su Yu’s eyes.
It wasn’t until Su Yu playfully threw Wang Jinhe onto the bed that she realized what was happening.
“What’s wrong?” Wang Jinhe looked bewilderedly at Su Yu.
“Talking about these things so late into the night, are you no longer interested in me?”
“I… “
“It’s okay if you’re not interested in me; I’m interested in you,” Su Yu interjected, not giving Wang Jinhe a chance to respond before leaning in for a kiss.
As for thoughts of rings and jewelry, Wang Jinhe had completely forgotten about them, unable to recall anything else.
The next morning, Wang Jinhe woke up to find Su Yu had already gone to the palace to teach some children.
She got up from bed with a dark expression on her face.
With her mind blank, she wondered if she could even survive if she had any thoughts at all.
That idiot was practically asking for trouble.
After a refreshing bath with spring water, she felt slightly better.
Once she got up, Wang Jinhe continued drawing in the study. By the time Su Yu returned with the little ones, there was already a thick stack of sketches piled up.
Frowning at Wang Jinhe’s obsessive dedication, Su Yu walked over, taking the pen and paper from her hands.
Puzzled, Wang Jinhe asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Don’t tell me you’ve been at this all day and night.”
Wang Jinhe nodded, “Yes, is there a problem?”
“Have you eaten?”
“I have. I also did other things.” Wang Jinhe understood Su Yu’s implication when he asked about her meal.
Was he worried about her?
Wang Jinhe smiled at Su Yu, “I didn’t just work without eating. I also took a stroll outside. You can ask Qiu Yi and the others.”
She had gone out on her own, not at the request of Qiu Yi and the others.
Su Yu’s expression softened a bit as Wang Jinhe explained, “That’s good.”
He was concerned that Wang Jinhe had been sitting there all day without moving or eating, which wasn’t good for her health.
“Shouldn’t you be spending time with us now?”
Xiao Bao and the others nodded in agreement, “Yes.”
“In that case, shall I make something delicious for you? It’s been a while since I cooked for you all,” Wang Jinhe suggested.
“Sure.” The father and son readily agreed.
Although the chefs in the mansion were skilled, the food Wang Jinhe cooked was still preferred for its taste.
“You take Xiao Bao and the others to play with Xixi for a while. I’ll be done here soon,” Wang Jinhe said before leaving.
Xiao Bao stood beside Su Yu and asked, “Daddy, was what Mommy said earlier true?”
“It was,” Su Yu began to respond, but Xiao Zhi spoke up first.
“If it was false, Mommy could easily be exposed. Why would she bother with such a thankless task? Besides, Mommy has no reason to lie about something like this. If Daddy found out it was a lie, Mommy would be in trouble,” Xiao Zhi reasoned.
After considering this, Xiao Bao nodded in agreement, “Brother is right. Mommy wouldn’t bother with something thankless like that.”
