Chapter 1204: I’ll Have the Guts to Do It as Long as I Want to
Wen Xinya was dressed in a long, white skirt and a light blue s.h.i.+rt that draped across her shoulders. The embroidery was exquisite and intricate, which was typical of traditional Chinese attires.
The skirt looked simple, but it was made of an extremely rare fabric that was known for its unique embroidery style. It was smooth, silky and fine like the skin of ravis.h.i.+ng beauties. It also gave off a glow that was bright like moonlight.
The fabric was usually paired with simple colors because colors that were excessively vibrant would dull the glow of the fabric.
However, clothes that were too plain could only be pulled off by very few people. Those who had too much sartorial elegance would cause the fabric to look plain and dull, like a pearl covered in dust. However, if the wearer was too mundane-looking, the fabric would be too outstanding compared to them.
Si Yiyan gazed at her pa.s.sionately and praised with a smile. “You’re really a natural at making clothes look good. You look gorgeous regardless of whether your makeup is heavy or light. The fabric complements you too.”
When she dressed plainly, she looked pretty and pure. When she dressed vibrantly, she looked ravis.h.i.+ngly gorgeous.
They often say that women dress up to make themselves happy. Hence, she was rather delighted to hear Si Yiyan’s compliment. “It’s just a Heiress’ Gala. I don’t have to be dressed to the nines, do I? It’s not a real banquet, anyway.”
Although the fabric was simple and elegant, it was not in the least bit dull. In fact, it was rather outstanding. And she would look too eye-catching even if no one knew what kind of fabric she was donning.
Si Yiyan stepped forth and put an arm around her waist before kissing her on her lips, unable to control himself. “You’re the star of the gala tonight. It’s not good to be too plain or too extravagant. The way you’re dressed now is perfect for the night. You look refined and elegant, but not too eye-catching. Besides… those joining the gala all have their own intentions and motives. It’s only understandable that they’d dress to the nines. Since you’re the star, no one should be dressed more outstandingly than you.”
His girl had to be the most outstanding one out of all the women.
After giving it some thought, Wen Xinya felt that he made a lot of sense. Hence, she stopped dwelling on her outfit and instead began feeling a little indecisive about her accessories. “The fabric of my s.h.i.+rt is too special. It’s hard to find a suitable piece of jewelry to match it. Help me pick one.”
Gems would be too harsh for the fabric and it would make her look too cold and aloof, while jade was too gentle and delicate, and would end up making the fabric look too plain. Not only would it fail to bring out the uniqueness of the fabric, but the piece of jewelry itself would also look too ordinary as well. On the other hand, diamonds were too eye-catching and would outs.h.i.+ne her s.h.i.+rt.
She was really put in a spot.
Si Yiyan was obviously glad to help her make a choice. He opened the cabinet beside the jewelry shelf, which contained a plethora of jewelry.
Greatly taken aback, Wen Xinya exclaimed, “Beeswax!”
Due to the fact that there was too much jewelry in the display shelf that was more than enough for her to pick from. Hence, she did not notice the cabinet beside the shelf. Besides, she had rarely attended banquets lately. Hence, she had no idea that Si Yiyan had collected so many pieces of beeswax jewelry for her.
It was beeswax!
Beeswax was a precious gift from nature and a rare kind of gem. It had gotten its name because of its honey color and its glossy finish that was like wax. It took tens of thousands of years to form, during which it developed a vibrant and beautiful color. The miraculous changes of the beeswax made every piece unique and one-of-a-kind. It was mystical and every piece seemed to be a surprise. The lines on Beeswax were intricate and it was warm and smooth to touch, unlike most gems that were cold and unfeeling.
Her mother had left behind a set of beeswax jewelry for her, which she had been keeping in her closet because she could not bear to wear them.
However, she actually had another cabinet full of beeswax jewelry that was gifted to her without her knowledge. It contained a plethora of pieces. Some were vibrant, some were elegant, some were glowing, while some were dreamy and ravis.h.i.+ng.
For once, beeswax did not seem that rare.
Si Yiyan smiled and asked, “Do you like them?”
Wen Xinya nodded without hesitation. “I do. Beeswax is my favorite kind of jewelry.”
Si Yiyan picked out one of the sets of jewelry that were leaf-and-floral-themed. The vines were emerald while the leaves were yellowish-green, in between which there were Aglaia flowers that were of yellow, red, blue, white and orange colors. Every tiny bead of Aglaia was made of meticulously selected beeswax.
Si Yiyan said smilingly, “Beeswax has a honey color and is s.h.i.+ny like wax. It has a vibrant and beautiful color that is visually appealing but is still refined and resplendent. It adds a touch of mystery and beauty to the fabric of your s.h.i.+rt.”
His favorite kind of jewelry was also beeswax.
Wen Xinya could not take her eyes off the beeswax jewelry at all.
Si Yiyan helped Wen Xinya pick out a set of beeswax accessories, which included hair accessories, earrings, a necklace, a bracelet, and a belt. Although the designs were similar, there were variations in each unique piece. They were absolutely fascinating.
Wen Xinya gasped and exclaimed, “It’s beautiful!”
Si Yiyan smiled and said, “Do you know why I like beeswax so much?”
Wen Xinya subconsciously shook her head and kept her eyes fixed on him.
Si Yiyan said, “Beeswax symbolizes eternal love that is pure and beautiful. Beeswax lovers are willing to write poems to express their awe and admiration towards it. They would also devote all their time and effort into taking care of it.”
Wen Xinya was speechless.
He had just told her about his love for beeswax and gave her a huge collection of jewelry made of beeswax that was known as “The Star Of The Earth”, so as to express his love and pa.s.sion for her. He meticulously treasured every piece of beeswax in the collection and helped her put on his favorite kind of jewelry before complimenting her and praising her for being as beautiful as beeswax.
Although he did not spell it out explicitly, she knew that that was exactly what he meant.
Wen Xinya looked at him and asked, “Am I beautiful or not?”
Si Yiyan answered, “Yes!”
Wen Xinya draped her arms around his neck and said, “Would you like to add a touch of vibrancy to my outfit and make me become the most outstanding girl at the gala?”
She heard that the beauty of beeswax would change according to the thoughts and actions of the wearer.
Si Yiyan gazed at her while letting his suppressed emotions show. He hugged her and said l.u.s.tfully, “Aren’t you afraid of being late?”
Wen Xinya exclaimed, “Do you dare to?”
Si Yiyan guffawed and teased. “Are you asking me if I dare to do you right now?”
Wen Xinya wished she could scold him. The perfect atmosphere was ruined by his lewd words.
Si Yiyan pushed her towards the wall and chuckled before whispering into her ear, “I’ll have the guts to do it as long as I want to. So, don’t ask me again!”
Next, Si Yiyan forced himself onto her…
