Late at night, when the small group walked out of the storehouse, everyone's faces were deeply flushed, their eyes shining brightly.
Chen Wanqing had taken a Jade Pendant from the storehouse. It was made of Warm Jade—specifically red jade—carved into the shape of an auspicious Qilin. It carried the beautiful meaning of "the Qilin delivering a child."
Xu Suying clutched a Luminous Pearl the size of a baby's fist. This was the crown jewel of her entire collection.
According to the old nanny, Xu Suying hadn't liked collecting pearls in her younger years. Whenever someone gifted them to her, she usually had them ground into pearl powder or strung into necklaces and bracelets to give away. She would only bother to keep a few exceptionally high-quality East Pearls and Nanzhu.
