Ethan pushed up his glasses, his cars flushed red as he tried to keep his composure.
He opened the lid, revealing a jade carving resting inside. The stone was a pale, creamy white, smooth and gentle puished wory.

han looked down at the dragon, his fingers gently brushing over its head, then over the orchid entwined around is
My favorite is the dragon, and I love orchids, Natalie knows me so well, Ethan thought.
He pushed up his glasses, trying to blink away the emotion in his eyes.
“Thank you, Natalie! I really love it!” he said,
He reached out and gave Natalie a quick hug, then let go.
Someone leaned in for a closer look at the jade carving. When they spotted the two tiny letters etched into the base, they suddenly gasped in surprise.
Jade Knife! This is a piece by Jade Knife!”
“Who’s Jade Knife? someone blurted out.
“Jade Knife is the most enigmatic master in the jade carving world. No one’s ever seen his face, and he never sells his
creations.
“Every single piece he makes is priceless, a true national treasure! You won’t find any of his work on the market, ever.”
“Why?” someone asked.
“Because the National Museum always snaps them up before they even hit the market!”
“The National Museum?! That’s amazing!”

And this is a one–of–a–kind, custom commission!
Everyone stared at Natalie, even more stunned.
How many legendary masters does she actually know?
Just how deep does her network go?!
At first, everyone thought that big names like MOIRE and Yokido only made exceptions for her because she was the Mitchell family’s heiress. But honestly, that never really made much sense.
But now, seeing this… it made even less sense.
Forget being the Mitchell family’s heiress, this is probably just the most ordinary connection she has!
Man, they really judged her by appearances!
Ethan was visibly shaken now. He quietly placed the jade carving back in its box, worried he might drop it if his hands shook even a little
“Natalie.. this is way too precious!” he said.
Natalie didn’t seem bothered at all. “It’s nothing just a jade carving Nothing’s more important than making my family happy”
Everyone was speechless.
Just a jade carving? Seriously?
Are you for real?
That’s a Jade Knife original
