Becoming a Wealthy Family's Beloved After Her Rebirth

The two men were surprisingly good at looking.

After lunch, they went to look at the sea of flowers at the front. Apart from that, there were also exotic flowers that were grown in a huge glass greenhouse. There were rocking chairs and tables in the greenhouse for resting as well. There was also a box with many things inside to help one pass the time.

Lin Xiaowan had brought her sketchbook and her pencil when she came out today. She sat cross-legged to sketch while Gu Yuwu lay on the hammock. This was the homework that Hong Minhua had given her; Hong Minhua wanted her to complete three sketches. Although she was not very good at drawing, this homework was not difficult for her.

They had plenty of time now. They planned to hike the famous Mount An in the neighboring city. However, they were only going to hike at night. It would take five hours to hike to the peak to watch the sunrise. As such, they were not in a rush.

In the evening, the few of them went to the beach. The waves gradually receded from the show, and the surface of the sea reflected the colors of the fiery sunset. Even the clouds were tinted with the fiery hues. All in all, it was very beautiful.

Lin Xiaowan stood barefooted on the wet sand.

Upon seeing this, Huo Zheng picked up her shoes and said, “Be careful of your feet. Don’t get cut by sharp stones.”

Lin Xiaowan’s skin was very delicate. With just a little force, it would leave a red mark. It was very easy for her to cut her skin and get injured.

Lin Xiaowan carried a small bucket and chased after the retreating waves as she replied, “That won’t happen!”

Gu Yuwu picked up a small crab and showed it to Lin Xiaowan, saying, “Look. It’s still spitting out bubbles.”

The crab was really small, only the size of a thumb. It was playing dead on Gu Yuwu’s palm, looking lifeless.

Lin Xiaowan poked it and asked, “Can this be eaten?”

Gu Yuwu casually released the crab back into the shallow water and said, “There’s no meaning in eating such a small crab… Why do you always think of food when looking at things?”

After that, Gu Yuwu added, “You’re not picky with food as well. You’re really easy to raise.”

Earlier in the afternoon, the caretaker at the farm had brought a small basket of sweet potatoes. They were very small and were a variety that was developed by some agricultural institute. There were ten of them in the basket, and Lin Xiaowan alone ate half of them enthusiastically.

Lin Xiaowan said defensively, “That’s not true…”

Going to the beach was not part of the plan. They were making their way to Mount An when they passed a small section of the coast. As the sun was setting, they stopped the car to have a look. They also bought a small bucket. Since the tide was receding, perhaps they could find things on the beach. Many marine creatures would also be stranded on the beach because they could not keep up with the retreating speed of the tide.

Lin Xiaowan picked up a handful of seashells and placed them in the plastic bucket.

Gu Yuwu could tell that Lin Xiaowan liked seashells very much so she suggested, “Let’s go to that shop later. They can turn the seashells into anything you want such as necklaces, bracelets, and the like…”

Lin Xiaowan nodded. “That sounds great. However, will they be able to send it to me?”

Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to return to this place to collect the item. After all, they were no longer in Shengjing City’s territory. It was quite a distance away from Shengjing.

“Yes.”

The weather in June was not like midsummer. After sunset, the sky would still be bright for a long time in midsummer. Now, the sky would turn dark as soon as the sun set.

Lin Xiaowan carefully selected a few small seashells and took them to the shop to turn them into earrings.

There was one that was especially beautiful. Its teeth were white with a green-black grain. It looked like it was glowing when the light shone on it. The patterns were exquisite as well, and the edges were round and smooth. Lin Xiaowan waited for it to be polished before taking it away. She wanted to make a brooch or cufflinks for Huo Zheng without it. Cufflinks usually came in pairs so she was not sure if the shell could be cut into two.

When Gu Yuwu saw Lin Xiaowan carefully putting the shell in the innermost part of her bag, she asked curiously, “Are you bringing this one back as a souvenir? It’s pretty.”

Although the seashell was very pretty, it did not seem like it would make a good decorative piece due to its size.

Lin Xiaowan looked around before she leaned over and whispered into Gu Yuwu’s ear, “Do you know any designers?”

“What kind of designer?”

“A jewelry designer. I want to make a brooch out of this seashell.”

“What’s so special about this seashell?” Gu Yuwu asked before adding, “If you like brooches, I’ll bring you to buy them in the future.”

At this time, they had already gotten into the car. Lin Xiaowan looked at the two men who were talking in the front seats. Seeing that they were not paying attention, she explained to Gu Yuwu, “No. I want to give it to Huo Zheng.”

Lin Xiaowan rarely gave Huo Zheng anything. After all, his starting point was too high, and she did not know what to give him. Huo Zheng did not seem to like anything, and he also did not seem to have preferences. After thinking about it, it seemed to her that he did not have any hobbies as well. Most men in their late twenties like playing football and such, but Huo Zheng seemed to either be working or spending his time with her.

Lin Xiaowan said, “1 think it’s too plain as well. I wonder if gemstones could be embedded on it…”

However, the gemstones that could match Huo Zheng’s status were all expensive. Hence, Lin Xiaowan was not very sure about this idea.

Upon hearing those words, Gu Yuwu asked, “Do you have a budget?”

Even without the cost of the raw materials, the fee for the craftsmanship of a well-known jewelry designer was not to be underestimated.

Lin Xiaowan shook her head nervously. “Is it very expensive?”

Gu Yuwu thought about the price based on her experience before she said, “It’s not expensive for the Huo family, but… it might be quite expensive for you. I’ll ask around for you when we get back.”

In fact, Lin Xiaowan could also look for lesser-known jewelry designers in the industry. There were many young designers who were talented as well. It was just that they had not gotten a break yet.

There were quite many people who came to climb Mount An at night. After all, it was Friday. About 90% of them were young people, and they looked like university students. Apart from that, there were families with the elderly and children, some even brought their pets. Everyone was talking and laughing.

Lin Xiaowan bought two glowing bunny ears clips. After she and Gu Yuwu put it on, they leaned their heads close to each other, and she took a photo with Gu Yuwu’s phone.

Gu Yuwu edited the photo a little before she asked Lin Xiaowan, “Can I post this on my social media?”

Gu Yuwu’s photography skills were good, and her editing skills were also good. Li Xiaowan really liked Gu Yuwu’s style of photography the moment she saw it. The photo was taken beautifully and was only shared among close friends so Lin Xiaowan did not mind and nodded.

The two young women walked side by side as they climbed up the mountain.

Meanwhile, Huo Zheng carried her bag and her water bottle for her. Lin Xiaowan wanted to carry the water bottle, but it was rather heavy since it was still filled with water. For this reason, Huo Zheng sized her up for a moment before he said, “Let me do it.”

Although he did not say anything, the meaning of his gaze was obvious to Lin Xiaowan. Seeing how proactive he was as a boyfriend, she did not refuse and said as she gestured with her hands, “Alright, alright, you can do it, you can do it..”
