Seeing Tang Yahui laughing uncontrollably, Ge Dongxu helplessly shook his head. After waiting for her to stop, he finally said, "I’ve also cut two other jade pendants and two ring settings. Help me find two suitable chains, and have someone craft two gold rings that match these settings." Continue reading on freewebnovel
"Getting the necklaces is easy. I can bring those to you right now—platinum, gold, red thread, I’ll bring them all for you to mix and match. But the rings have to be crafted specifically for these settings, so it’ll probably be tomorrow before I can get them to you," Tang Yahui said as her eyes suddenly brightened when she saw the two heart-shaped jade pendants and two ring settings. It took her a while to regain her composure.
"Then bring me the necklaces first. As for the rings, have someone make them tonight, and I’ll come fetch them tomorrow morning. Does that work for you?" Ge Dongxu nodded and then asked.
"Can I say no? You’ve already given me such a precious jade pendant!" Tang Yahui pointed at the jade pendant hanging around her neck and laughed.
Ge Dongxu just smiled.
Soon, Tang Yahui brought several necklaces and some red thread to Ge Dongxu.
"How about dinner together tonight?" Tang Yahui said after handing over the items to Ge Dongxu.
"Thanks, but no," Ge Dongxu smiled and shook his head, already thinking about giving Liu Jiayao a surprise.
"Got a date with a beauty?" Tang Yahui pointed at the necklaces in Ge Dongxu’s hand and asked with a laugh.
Ge Dongxu smiled sheepishly and did not respond.
"Since a beauty has invited you, then I, this old lady, won’t keep you any longer," said Tang Yahui mockingly.
"If you talk like that, I might have to take back that jade pendant," Ge Dongxu joked.
"Why? Who ever takes back something once given?" Tang Yahui hurriedly placed a hand over her chest, seemingly afraid that Ge Dongxu would actually take back the teardrop-shaped jade pendant.
There was no helping it; Tang Yahui simply adored that jade pendant! Besides, the pendant also had skin-beautifying effects—what woman would willingly part with it?
"Precious swords for heroes, rouge for beauties. The jade pendants I carve are no different; they are gifted to beauties, not old ladies," Ge Dongxu laughed.
"Ah!" Tang Yahui’s mouth fell open upon hearing this, and then she broke into gleeful laughter. It took her a while before she glared at Ge Dongxu and said, "I hadn’t realized, Mr. Ge, that you were so good at flattering women!"
Ge Dongxu smiled sheepishly, then waved at her and said, "I’m off, keep an eye on those rings for me."
"Got it. With ring settings like these, if put up for sale, each would be worth at least a million. How could I not keep an eye on them!" Tang Yahui exclaimed.
Ge Dongxu smiled, then, dragging his suitcase and carrying his bag, he left without specifically explaining that the ring settings, especially one made using a drop of his Lifebound Essence, were priceless—not for sale even for billions, let alone millions.
For someone at his level of Qi Cultivation, a drop of Lifebound Essence could not be measured in money; it was only for those he cherished most in his life.
After leaving Jiang Region Jewelry, Ge Dongxu took a taxi straight to Yadu Garden, hoping to surprise Liu Jiayao. However, he found no one there.
"No way, she’s not here?" Ge Dongxu set down his suitcase, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then found a strand of Liu Jiayao’s hair on the pink bed.
Afterwards, Ge Dongxu held the hair strand, silently murmured a spell, performed the hand seals for the ’Immortal Points the Way,’ and the hair strand slowly stood up, pointing towards Qinglan Cosmetics Company.
Luckily, no fellow cultivators were present; otherwise, they would have scolded him for squandering his mana just to give his girlfriend a surprise.
Of course, if they knew that Ge Dongxu’s strength now equated to the Primary Level of Qi Cultivation, that would be a different story altogether.
Because at his level, this kind of primary-level Immortal just roughly pointing out the direction was nothing more than a casual gesture for him.
"She’s indeed still at the office!" Ge Dongxu tucked away his hair, then took a heart-shaped jade pendant out of his bag, placed it in his pocket, and then left Yadu Garden.
Qinglan Cosmetics Company’s office building, the lights in the chairman’s office were still on.
"This silly sister!" Seeing that the lights in Jiayao’s office were still on, Ge Dongxu knew she was eager to launch "Flower Spirit" to the market a day earlier, to realize her childhood dreams, and he could not help but feel both annoyed and heartbroken.
"Dongxu, why are you here?" Li Min was still downstairs in the driver’s office waiting for Jiayao. The office door was half-open to keep an eye on the outside activity, so as soon as Ge Dongxu pushed open the building’s door, she noticed and greeted him somewhat unexpectedly.
"You’re waiting for Sister Liu, aren’t you?" Ge Dongxu asked back instead of answering.
"Hmm." Li Min nodded her head.
"Then you go ahead and leave, I’m here." Ge Dongxu said with a smile.
"Hehe, okay then, I’ll leave President Liu to your care, President Ge. Please tell her for me." Li Min smiled ambiguously at Ge Dongxu.
Ge Dongxu smiled awkwardly, nodded his head, and then went upstairs.
At the door, Ge Dongxu took out the jade pendant necklace and hid it in his hand before he knocked on the door.
"Come in." A pleasant voice from Jiayao came from inside.
Ge Dongxu gently pushed open the door.
"Dongxu! Weren’t you supposed to be in Yunnan? Didn’t you say you’d be back later?" Seeing it was Ge Dongxu, Jiayao stood up in surprise and gave him a warm hug.
That day, Ge Dongxu had met his senior brother and was originally planning to stay there for a few days, so when Jiayao called to ask when he would return, he had said he would be a few days late. However, he hadn’t expected that a call from his mother the next day would hurry him back right after dealing with Zhang Kaixuan’s matter.
"Could I not come back? If I hadn’t returned, I think you might have worked overtime until you forgot to eat!" Ge Dongxu said with a stern face.
"Not at all! Even if you hadn’t come back, I was about to get off work." Liu Jiayao said.
"Oh really? Is that why you seem justified? Just look outside, what does the sky look like?" Ge Dongxu continued with a stern face.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, isn’t that enough? It’s been several days since we’ve seen each other, and you start with criticism as soon as you’re back!" Seeing Ge Dongxu’s stern face, Jiayao knew he was just putting it on for her, but she still felt incredibly sweet inside as she hugged his arm and gently shook it.

"It’s good you know you were wrong. Don’t let it happen again!" Inside, Ge Dongxu felt only concern, not anger, and with Jiayao’s gentle shake, he couldn’t maintain his stern expression anymore.
"Okay, okay! A few days out and someone’s temper seems to have soared." Jiayao rolled her eyes.
"Hehe." Ge Dongxu chuckled proudly, then said, "Go get ready to leave, I haven’t had dinner yet."
"Ah! Why didn’t you say so earlier!" It didn’t matter that Jiayao hadn’t eaten, but hearing that Ge Dongxu hadn’t eaten immediately made her feel concerned. She gave him a reproachful look and then hurried back to her desk to tidy up the papers.
Seeing this, Ge Dongxu quietly walked over, then lifted the jade pendant necklace and draped it around Jiayao’s swan-like, elegantly white neck.
