Yang Yajing felt her life was utterly worthless—single at 36; meager salary absolutely insufficient to cover her mother's medical expenses.
Her best friend not only stole the man she...
When Mrs. Xia buys silk rope, the things she makes will certainly not be cheap.
Recently, she developed a liking for jade and bought a bunch of small jade pendants, only to realize after buying them that she didn't know how to use them.
Yang Yajing suggested creating a Chinese style, mentioning the currently popular silk rope weaving, which led to the earlier incident of browsing the small commodity market.
Mrs. Xia has a childlike heart and enjoys following these little trends.
After shopping, she took Yang Yajing home, took out the box of jade pendants, and the two started playing with the trinkets.
With alternating royal blue and golden yellow silk cords, a valuable jade ruyi is transformed into a leather ruyi pendant.
The buckle is 18k gold. If Yang Yajing hadn't said that pure gold is too soft and would deform, she would have originally planned to buy a pure gold belt buckle!
When Xia Changlong returned home, he saw that the large coffee table in the living room was piled with silk ropes and jade pendants, as well as a lot of gold beans.
"What are you doing now?" she asked as she changed her shoes and handed her coat to the butler.
"Changlong? You're back?" Every time Madam Xia sees Xia Changlong, she acts like a little girl, making Xia Changlong feel that she will always be the same as when he met her at nineteen.
"Hmm! The girl is here too? Will she stay for dinner?" Xia Changlong walked over.
"Look! I got a little bell pendant for the little lion! And a gold locket for Fat Garfield! And Snoopy's too!" Mrs. Xia showed off the ornaments she had made for her two dogs and one cat.
"So free?" Xia Changlong laughed, then looked at it. "It's quite nice!"
"Isn't it pretty? You have one too!" With that, Madam Xia took out the Ruyi lock and clipped it to Xia Changlong's waistband. "Hang it up and see? Doesn't it look more expensive than these?"
Xia Changlong was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He was happy to receive a gift! And he knew that the jade pendant cost tens of thousands of yuan, but why did his wife's words sound a little awkward?
Yang Yajing burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Sister Tao! Your big pet really looks great wearing this!"
"You little brat! If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!" Xia Changlong glared at Yang Yajing. There were servants in the living room, and this blunt truth completely shattered his authority!
The butler and the cook were also secretly amused. The master's "majesty" had vanished the moment they learned how the master and mistress interacted!
Madam Xia is such a mischievous child; the serious old man only feels down-to-earth when he's with her!
That being said, the jade pendant is indeed beautiful and unique. Although he was wearing a suit and trousers, this accessory hanging at his waist suited his temperament perfectly.
Madam Xia has fair skin and likes silver things, while Xia Changlong has a standard warm skin tone typical of the East, and gold really makes him look noble.
"Did you dye your hair? And get it permed?" Xia Changlong asked, looking at his wife.
"Does it look good? Does it make you look younger?" Mrs. Xia posed.
"She looks beautiful! She looks more than ten years younger, making me look old!" Xia Changlong never hesitated to praise his wife.
"Why don't you dye your hair too, Boss Xia? Otherwise, when you go out together, people will think you're taking your daughter out!" Yang Yajing continued to tease Xia Changlong.
"You silly girl! Do I look that old?"
"You're not old, it's Sister Tao who's young!"
“I love to hear that!” Madam Xia never feigned modesty.
"Hmph! Why dye it? I don't have time to go to the hair salon!" Xia Changlong retorted. "This is mature beauty!"
“Mature beauty? Pfft!” Yang Yajing whispered to Madam Xia, though her voice wasn’t quiet. “Boss Xia is trying to show off his ‘old cow can eat young grass’ style!”
"You bastard!" Seeing the two women laughing, Xia Changlong felt that his position at home was in jeopardy.
"Let's go! Let's get it dyed!" Madam Xia nudged Xia Changlong.
"Just got home, don't want to go out!" Xia Changlong shook his head; he really didn't like hair salons.
"Who told you to go out?" Madam Xia glared at Xia Changlong. "I already bought them and brought them back!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Xia went to the entryway and took out a box of hair dye: "I knew you wouldn't go to the hair salon! Didn't I prepare this for you?"
"So you had this planned all along!" Xia Changlong was at a loss with these two women.
Mrs. Xia doesn't know how to do these things, but Yang Yajing does! She's the one who dyed her parents' hair.
Right now, Xia Changlong is sitting obediently in the bathroom, while Yang Yajing is messing with his short hair!
While he was dyeing his hair, Xia Changlong kept grumbling and complaining, but once it was finished, washed, and dried, he looked much younger and more energetic in the mirror and was quite pleased with himself.
Who doesn't want to stay young, radiant, and full of energy? The older you get, the more you fear getting old! Xia Changlong is no exception.
His wife looks younger and younger the more she dresses up. Although he thinks he is quite good-looking, he is afraid that his wife will find him unattractive!
Back then, he won his wife's heart with his handsome face, so he can't be careless!
"Wow! Handsome! Even more handsome than in our wedding photos!" Hearing his wife's praise, Xia Changlong was secretly delighted!
"Little Xia, what are you having for dinner? Do you have any lobster?" Yang Yajing was always so disrespectful.
"You're the one who's all 'fresh meat'! You have no manners!" Xia Changlong glared at Yang Yajing. "No lobsters? Let's eat crabs! Crabs are just as good as you, crawling sideways without any sense of propriety! They're a perfect match for you!"
"Wow! From Yangcheng Lake? I'm so lucky!" Yang Yajing clapped her hands. "After we finish eating, let's keep climbing! We've been spoiled by Sister Tao, do you have a problem with that?"
Glancing at his proud and radiant wife, Xia Changlong could only manage a forced smile: "Hehe, no objection! How could I dare to have an objection? Hehe!"
