"No, no!"
Yan Xinxin quickly shook her head to explain.
Xiao Yize let out a regretful smile.
"I don’t have the fortune to win over such a beautiful and outstanding girl. Madam Shari, Mr. Robert, let introduce—this is my apprentice, Yan Xinxin."
"Apprentice? You actually took on an apprentice!"
The two in front of them were visibly surprised.
Yan Xinxin smiled slightly as she looked at them. This Madam Shari seed to be an internationally renowned jewelry appraiser and designer.
"Madam Shari, her na is Yan Xinxin."
Robert reminded her.
Madam Shari’s eyes suddenly lit up, followed by a burst of excitent.
"You’re... the designer of Angel’s Tears?"
Yan Xinxin smiled and nodded.
"Yes."
"So you’re such a young and beautiful lady!"
Madam Shari exclaid with joy and then turned to Xiao Yize.
"We arrived early today and have already seen all the works here. There are indeed a few excellent pieces, but the one I admire most is Angel’s Tears. I truly hope to get in touch with its designer."
Xiao Yize smiled and, with gentlemanly grace, placed his hand on Yan Xinxin’s shoulder.
"Well, the designer of Angel’s Tears is standing right in front of you, Madam Shari."
"That’s absolutely wonderful!"
Madam Shari was overwheld with excitent and delight.
"Lady Yan, for you to create such an outstanding design as Angel’s Tears, I believe you will shine brilliantly in this field in the future! Would you be interested in coming back to my country for further study?"
The sudden invitation left Yan Xinxin completely flustered!
She was just a newcor who had barely stepped into the industry—how could she be qualified to follow such a prestigious figure in the field?
Noticing Yan Xinxin’s dazed look, Xiao Yize quickly reminded her.
"Xinxin, this is an amazing opportunity. I hope you won’t let such a rare chance for further study slip by."
She could feel Xiao Yize’s kindness, but her mind involuntarily wandered to Mo Chuxi and those two children.
"Lady Yan, you can take your ti to consider. As long as you are talented, I’m willing to wait."
Madam Shari, empathetic to Yan Xinxin’s hesitation and inner struggle, offered her the choice with understanding.
Yan Xinxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Madam Shari."
"Best of luck."
Madam Shari encouraged her.
"You have a vivid imagination and exceptional talent in design. I believe that Angel’s Tears will shine brightly tonight and will one day win the highest honors in the jewelry design world!"
As she spoke, she affectionately embraced Yan Xinxin before leaving with a smile.
Yan Xinxin was truly amazed.
This Madam Shari seed to genuinely love Angel’s Tears and, as a result, had taken a liking to her as well.
"Xinxin, Xinxin?"
"Huh?"
Yan Xinxin suddenly raised her eyes.
Xiao Yize looked at her, his gaze consistently gentle.
"Don’t feel troubled; this is a good thing."
"Yes."
Yan Xinxin nodded, but then she raised her eyes again with a hint of doubt.
"Will soone bid on Angel’s Tears tonight?"
"At most business exhibitions, financial transactions are involved."
Xiao Yize explained simply.
"At eight o’clock, the auction will begin in the main hall. At that ti, models will showcase the jewelry pieces on display. If soone genuinely desires a piece, they’ll raise their paddle to bid."
With that clarification, Yan Xinxin finally understood completely.
She had seen such scenes on TV before—events exclusively attended by wealthy elites. She never imagined she’d finally get the chance to witness them herself.
Nodding silently, her thoughts wandered, and suddenly, a familiar silhouette flashed in her peripheral vision.
Yan Xinxin abruptly raised her gaze, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Yan Zhirou?
"What’s wrong?"
Noticing Yan Xinxin staring distractedly in a particular direction, Xiao Yize asked with concern.
"Sorry, Master, I think I saw soone I know. I’ll go check."
She spoke and then turned around, raising her eyes to see Yan Zhirou throwing her a provocative smile before swiftly disappearing into the corridor.
"Trying to lure in?"
She followed into the corridor, only to find it completely empty. Suddenly, the safety stairwell door on the side swung open.
Before Yan Xinxin could see clearly, her wrist was grabbed, and with a slight pull of force, she was yanked inside!
