A simple sentence was enough to illustrate Xia Xiaodie's fondness for this batch of jewelry designs.

She had already done much homework in this area beforehand, surpassing herself.

If she was satisfied, then these drawings would definitely not have any problems.

"Xu Fan, have you noticed an issue?"

At that moment, Xia Xiaodie, looking at the drawings in her hand, suddenly asked herself a question.

Xu Fan frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Wasn't she very pleased with these jewelry drawings? Why was there an issue now?

"Look, there are two extra ones."

Seeing Xu Fan's confusion, Xia Xiaodie counted the drawings in her hand and explained it to Xu Fan once more.

"This..."

He had indeed not noticed this problem; aside from the several designs he had agreed to create for Xia Xiaodie, the Eastern-style drawings were not the ten that had been previously agreed upon with him but twelve.

"Gelangqiao, why did you give us two more?"

Now Xu Fan curiously asked Gelangqiao, knowing that the contract he signed with him stated he only needed to provide ten drawings.

Why would he give two extra ones?

Clearly, he knew he had drawn two extra ones; at that moment, Gelangqiao smiled and said, "It's nothing much."

"I have always been very interested in Eastern culture, so these days I drew two extra ones. Besides, you two have given me great inspiration, which has been a huge help to me."

"Consider these two extra drawings a small gift from me. I hope both of you like it."

His time spent with Xu Fan was very enjoyable, and these two extra drawings were a token of his appreciation from Gelangqiao.

Even as a layman, Xu Fan was very aware of how precious this small gift was.

After all, these were two drawings by a recognized genius in jewelry design; given enough time, the value they could create could exceed a hundred million!

With that thought, Xu Fan took a deep breath and said, "Gelangqiao, I, Xu Fan, accept your gesture."

"In the future, if you run into any trouble, just tell me. As long as it is within my capabilities, I will definitely help you."

Giving as one has received is Xu Fan's principle; Gelangqiao is often abroad, and should any trouble arise, Xu Fan's previous connections could certainly save his life.

"Xu Fan, you're too polite, this..."

Gelangqiao didn't take Xu Fan's seriousness to heart; he was about to leave Huaxia and didn't believe this young man could offer him any help.

However, before Gelangqiao could finish his sentence, Xu Fan interrupted him.

"Gelangqiao, I, Xu Fan, am not speaking empty words."

"Remember my words, and I will ensure your safety."

"..."

The calm declaration left Gelangqiao's unconcerned smile frozen on his face.

At this moment, the aura emanating from Xu Fan was far beyond his years; staring blankly at Xu Fan's composed confidence, Gelangqiao thought that this young man might not be as simple as he had imagined.

"Well, thank you, Xu Fan. If I encounter any trouble, I'll be sure to ask for your assistance then."

Right then, Gelangqiao earnestly thanked Xu Fan.

He estimated that this trip to Huaxia would be quite beneficial to him.

"By the way, Xu Fan, I might be leaving Huaxia in the next few days. There's a summit in Eastern Europe that has invited me, and I need to go there."

"So, when your jewelry store opens, I may not be able to attend."

After chatting casually with Gelangqiao for a while, he suddenly shared, with a hint of reluctance.

"It's okay, Joe, you've helped us a lot already."

Xu Fan consoled him with a sentence, not wanting Gelangqiao to feel embarrassed.

Having worked through the night on the designs, Gelangqiao needed plenty of rest now, and Xu Fan didn't want to disturb him further. After chatting for a bit, he took Xia Xiaodie and said their goodbyes.

Once they left the hotel, the two of them got back into the car, where Xia Xiaodie was still looking at the design drawings she had received from Gelangqiao.

Xu Fan glanced over and noticed that the designs Xia Xiaodie was most absorbed in were the pieces of jewelry that Gelangqiao had designed specifically for her and himself.

It was clear that she really liked these symbols of love, and perhaps she was already hoping in her heart to see these drawings turn into real objects right in front of her eyes.

"Xu Fan, you... why haven't you started the car yet?"

It took a while for Xia Xiaodie, engrossed in the drawings, to realize that Xu Fan's gaze was still on her, and she said a little embarrassedly.

"Is this your favorite one?"

Xu Fan smiled and snatched a drawing from Xia Xiaodie's hands.

"What are you doing?"

Xia Xiaodie couldn't help but feel anxious when Xu Fan took the drawing away.

A glance at the back and forth had revealed that the drawing she looked at the most was that of a ring design.

Gelangqiao had written his thoughts about this ring on the drawing.

Ring of Fate, destined for three lifetimes.

With his understanding of jewelry, proposing with this ring, it was feared that no woman on earth could refuse.

And Xia Xiaodie, just having looked at this ring, was probably thinking about these things too.

Xu Fan put the drawing away and said, "I'll keep this drawing for myself, and when the day comes that I want to take a wife, I'll make it and send it to her."

"You!"

Clearly, Xu Fan had no intention of giving it back, and Xia Xiaodie couldn't help feeling a bit aggrieved as she pursed her lips and said, "But it's Gelangqiao who made it for you and me..."

She stopped midway, her face flushing like blood, clearly realizing the implication behind Xu Fan's words.

Xia Xiaodie's large eyes twinkled as she sneakily looked over at Xu Fan.

Would she have the chance to have him put that Ring of Three Lifetimes on for her?

"Oh, there's one more thing."

As Xu Fan began to drive away from the hotel, he suddenly spoke up, interrupting Xia Xiaodie's thoughts.

Xia Xiaodie looked at Xu Fan somewhat flustered.

"What... what is it?"

Xu Fan glanced at her and without much thought said, "Have you come up with a good plan yet for the jewelry store's name and the spokesperson?"

He had already made up his mind to leave this matter entirely to Xia Xiaodie to handle.

If she planned to grow the jewelry business, they certainly needed a good name.

Choosing the right spokesperson was even more crucial.

Just having Gelangqiao's design drawings was not enough to sustain the jewelry store's operations.

An excellent spokesperson with a good reputation was extremely important.

A well-known spokesperson could quickly bring the jewelry store's name before the public when the ads aired.

Xu Fan did have a good candidate in mind.

Li Qinghe, currently with a daunting reputation in Huaxia, would be an absolute boost for the jewelry store's business if she could endorse it.

Only, it was not very realistic...
