A few minutes later, an accompanying chef brought over several exquisite dishes, emitting a tempting fragrance that made Tang Xiaowan’s eyes light up.
She had to attend a takeover ceremony early in the morning and had only eaten a few bites, she was indeed hungry.
Leng Lingxiao smiled with his eyes and considerately advised, "Don’t eat too much, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable when you go swimming in the sea... Eat less, just enough not to be hungry, and after coming up, you can indulge in eating and drinking."
"Alright, alright, just a little bit. By the way, where are Shen Yiming and the others? Why aren’t they coming up?"
"Li Ruonan is pregnant, we prepared something specially suitable for pregnant women, which is quite different from ours, and she cannot swim, she might be... a bit scared."
"What, Nannan can’t swim?" Tang Xiaowan looked at the sea in surprise.
"Don’t worry, there are professionals arranged to protect her."
"Oh, that’s good! But, how come she... but last night at the dinner..."
Tang Xiaowan stopped herself mid-sentence; Li Ruonan had mentioned that she loved the sea and had even participated in winter swimming with her father one year.
Perhaps it’s because of her parents’ divorce.
Tang Xiaowan guessed as such, much like herself, having lived with her grandmother since she was young, she was particularly afraid of being asked about her parents, about her mom.
"What are you thinking, Tangtang?"
"Nothing, just suddenly thought... if it wasn’t for you, I might not know how to swim."
"Had I not mentioned it, I would have forgotten, haha."
So, they enjoyed the fine food while admiring the majestic waves of the sea.
Meanwhile, at Yishen Mall.
Li Zishen, accompanied by Bai Long, slowly walked into a jade shop, where a middle-aged woman in a cheongsam immediately came forward to greet them.
She was the owner of the shop.
"Mr. Li, welcome to our store!"
Li Zishen smiled slightly and nodded, "Is everything ready?"
The store owner respectfully led Li Zishen and the others to a private compartment at the back and unveiled a very exquisite jade decoration.
Looking at it, Li Zishen’s lips slightly curved.
The store owner quickly explained, "This is the most exquisite large decoration in our collection, bright in color, smooth in texture, and top-notch in carving. Mr. Li, does it meet your expectations?"
Li Zishen gently touched the large decoration, feeling its texture and luster, and inwardly exclaimed in admiration at the fine craftsmanship.
This exquisitely beautiful jade sculpture was made from top-quality jade.
It stood one-meter and fifty centimeters tall, ornate and elegant in design.
The entire decoration was themed around a beautifully twisting Phoenix tree, vividly displaying the trunk, branches, and leaf textures of the tree. For more chapters visıt novel✦fire.net
Textures interwove, lines flowed smoothly, each leaf uniquely sculpted.
But what caught Li Zishen’s attention the most was the pair of delicate and charming phoenixes on the tree.
Indeed, this was exactly what he wanted.
The pair of phoenixes, with wings ready to soar, posed elegantly and graciously. They resembled a couple in love, exuding a deep sense of affection. Their feathers meticulously carved, the delicate textures made the entire decoration even more lively and realistic.
"Mr. Li, as you can see, it’s elegantly crafted without losing its magnificence, still very fitting for the hotel lobby."
Li Zishen smiled slightly and nodded.
Beside him, Bai Long was also silently amazed.
Indeed, whether in terms of material selection or carving craftsmanship, it demonstrated the creator’s superb skills and extreme pursuit of detail.
Placed in the lobby, it would undoubtedly create a rich cultural atmosphere and romantic vibe, offering guests an extraordinary visual feast.
Li Zishen thought to himself: It’s indeed excellent, not only as a congratulatory gift for Xiaowan’s takeover of Chi Sea but also subtly expresses my steadfast love for her.
"Um, very good, let’s choose this one."
Bai Long nodded slightly, "Yes, Brother Shen."
Then, Li Zishen casually turned around, and a White Jade Ruyi suddenly caught his eye.
Hoping you have good fortune and a smooth life.
The store owner quickly took out the Jade Ruyi and gently placed it on a soft black satin.
As the words fell, Li Zishen turned and left.
The store owner quickly wrapped the White Jade Ruyi in an exquisite gift box and respectfully handed it to Bai Long, "Thank you, Manager Bai!"
"That Phoenix Ornament... send it over as soon as possible, and remember, say everything that needs to be said."
"Don’t worry, I will personally deliver it."
"Good, that’s settled."
After Bai Long left, the store owner immediately directed several experienced clerks to act.
First, they wrapped the Phoenix Ornament with a soft velvet cloth, protecting its polished surface from scratches, then used foam plastic to secure the various parts of the decoration.
