"Miss Yun, something's weird with you today."
Yun Xiangxiang went straight to Qian Yongnian and stared at the stone after she came home. He noticed something was off with her.
"Grandpa Qian, I'm sorry. I need to send this away for a while," Yun Xiangxiang was apologetic.
She understood how important it was for a jade sculptor to come across a piece of excellent stone. She sought him out first. She gave him hope, but now she had to destroy it. She knew that it was cruel.
"When are you taking it back?" Qian Yongnian didn't notice the undertone. He was calculating the time he needed to make the accessories.
"Perhaps...never," Yun Xiangxiang had to be honest with him.
"What?!" Qian Yongnian was shocked. "What happened?"
"This jadeite…" she didn't hide anything and told him the transpired events. "Nothing's more precious than life to me."
