93: Chapter 93 This Gift, Astonishing 93: Chapter 93 This Gift, Astonishing “Um, okay.” Su Qingyu shyly responded and handed the jade bracelet to Ye Shikai. Holding the bracelet in one hand, Ye Shikai gently grasped Su Qingyu’s fair hand with the other, feeling the warmth from her palm. Su Qingyu’s cheeks slightly reddened as Ye Shikai infused a bit of Inner Strength into the bracelet, causing the originally pitch-black jade to emit a faint light, making it look very beautiful. Ye Shikai slid the bracelet onto Su Qingyu’s slender hand, her skin fair and smooth like a piece of divine artwork. He carefully positioned the bracelet on her wrist, totally focused, looking very charming. “It’s done.” Ye Shikai lifted his head, smiling slightly. Su Qingyu looked down and saw her fair wrist matched with the dark bracelet, dignified rather than merely elegant, adding a classical charm to it. “Um, thank you.” Su Qingyu revealed a satisfied smile, like a little girl receiving her beloved toy, pure and genuine. “Wife, actually, I have another gift prepared for you.” Ye Shikai smiled mysteriously, surprising Su Qingyu, who hadn’t expected another gift, especially one given after the jade bracelet. Could this be even more precious than the bracelet? In an instant, Su Qingyu’s anticipation grew. “There’s another gift? What is it? Show me quickly.” Su Qingyu’s face was full of expectation, her heart itching like a cat’s scratch. “Wife, first call me husband and then I’ll give it to you.” Ye Shikai suddenly set aside his bag, not willing to be at a disadvantage; this gift was absolutely substantial. “You, hmph, show it to me quickly.” Su Qingyu’s face blushed, her hand patting Ye Shikai’s chest, calling out the scoundrel who dared to tease her. “Call me first, then I’ll give it.” Ye Shikai turned his head away, appearing firm that he would not give it unless Su Qingyu called him today. “Alright... fine.” Eventually, Su Qingyu deflated like a burst balloon and acquiesced. She glanced around subconsciously, ensuring no one was watching, and then whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear. “Hu...sband.” Her voice was very light, like a mosquito’s, barely audible even to Ye Shikai. After saying it, Su Qingyu’s face flushed like an apple, as it was her first time addressing someone as “husband,” naturally making her shy. “What? I didn’t hear you. Say it again.” Ye Shikai placed his hand near his ear, making an exaggerated gesture of being unable to hear, causing Su Qingyu to laugh and slap his shoulder. “Husband, there, okay?” Su Qingyu appeared as if she wanted to shout out loud, but her voice was still soft, probably still a bit shy, but at least she could hear herself clearly. “Gift.” Su Qingyu pouted and stretched out her hand, asking for the gift, looking quite adorable. “Alright, here.” Ye Shikai smiled and pulled out a small wooden box from his bag. The box, carved with a lifelike phoenix, had exquisite craftsmanship and was made of Golden Phoebe Wood. Anyone with discerning eyes would be amazed, even if it was just a box for holding gifts, it was definitely a collector’s item. Su Qingyu took the box, also shocked by the material and craftsmanship of the box. Since the box itself was so extraordinary, what was inside must be even more precious. This thought made Su Qingyu even more eager. “Wait a second, wife.” Suddenly, Ye Shikai stepped forward and grabbed Su Qingyu’s hand, mysteriously saying, “Before you open the gift, you have to promise not to scream in surprise.” “Psh, who cares,” Su Qingyu snorted, but her hand clutched the box tightly. “You say that, but your body tells the truth. Go on, open it.” Ye Shikai laughed. Holding her breath, Su Qingyu carefully opened the box, and from the dark interior, a faint green light emanated. “This is... is...” Su Qingyu opened the box and when she saw what was inside, her face was full of shock and her mouth agape. This flustered expression was something Ye Shikai was seeing for the first time. “So, wife, do you like this gift?” Ye Shikai sipped his drink from the table, casually asking. Su Qingyu quickly closed the box, a look of astonishment on her face. “This is, Empress Dowager Cixi’s...” “Yes, it is Empress Dowager Cixi’s Luminous Pearl,” Ye Shikai calmly replied. Indeed, the thing Ye Shikai had Ghost bring over was the Empress Dowager Cixi’s Luminous Pearl, recalling it as a war prize Ghost had boasted about before. Though Ye Shikai hadn’t been interested in these treasures at the time, it was only after the elder Shi Chengyu mentioned “Qianlong” that he remembered the Luminous Pearl with Ghost. “Is this real? How come it’s with you?” Su Qingyu couldn’t help but ask a barrage of questions when she saw the Luminous Pearl, instantly recalling the one that belonged to Empress Dowager Cixi as she had seen many images of it. Su Qingyu was certain this was Cixi’s Luminous Pearl, but she wasn’t sure about its authenticity; however, if Ye Shikai dares to present it, it was likely genuine. “Of course, it’s real.” Ye Shikai couldn’t help but laugh. How could the Netherworld King give out a fake? This Luminous Pearl had been authenticated by experts, proven 100% genuine. Nevertheless, it was understandable for Su Qingyu to bear doubts, as these artifacts are truly of national treasure calibre; how could they be easily handed out. “Where did you get this from?” Su Qingyu asked excitedly. “I have a brother overseas who came upon this treasure unwittingly. I asked him for it.” Ye Shikai watched Su Qingyu’s face, curious about her reaction. “This, this gift is too precious. I can’t accept it.” Su Qingyu pushed the box to the side. More than just being valuable, it was a priceless treasure. The Luminous Pearl of Empress Dowager Cixi, said to preserve the body from decay for a thousand years, but later stolen during the war era and had changed hands many times before ending up with Ghost. This item truly belonged in a national museum. If auctioned, it would fetch a price in the billions, considering that Tianya Group was only worth a couple billion. This Luminous Pearl was equivalent to a whole company. “Ha, wife, just accept it. Don’t you like it?” “I do like it, of course, but... this is too valuable.” Su Qingyu showed a troubled face. This was a treasure, which everyone loved, but it was also a hot potato, as the more valuable an item, the more people coveted it. “Then keep it, and remember, this is your husband’s Chinese Valentine’s Day gift for you. Take good care of it.”
