Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 732 - 712: The Emperor’s Purple

Su Yan descended the steps and quietly tugged at the ashen-faced Xiaolei, "Do you want to embarrass yourself in front of your cousin? There will be plenty of chances in the future."

Xiaolei mustered some energy and walked into the hotel alongside Su Yan.

After entering, the press conference for the new spokesperson of Zuanshi Jewelry officially began.

Everything went according to plan, very smoothly.

Until the flashlights dimmed, the company’s master of ceremonies looked out at the audience:

"Now, may I invite Mr. Huo and Miss Lo, the new spokesperson of Zuanshi, to present the Eros series of diamond jewelry to everyone."

It’s common practice to promote the season’s key designs during the announcement of a new spokesperson.

The Eros series is Zuanshi Jewelry’s latest collection for the season.

Having the boss of the Huo Family personally adorn the spokesperson with the jewelry was a segment that had been planned in advance.

Ever since Xiaolei saw her sister-in-law arrive tonight, her complexion had never quite recovered.

Her plans were all disrupted.

Upon hearing the emcee’s invitation, she regained her vivacious demeanor, smoothed her dress, and gracefully ascended the stage.

Thinking about how her cousin would soon be personally adorning her with the entire set of the Eros series jewelry, Xiaolei felt her mood brighten considerably.

Below the stage, in the VIP seats, Huo Zhenyang sat upright, straightened his suit, turned his face and said, "I’m going on stage now."

Jiayi glanced at the visibly joyous Xiaolei on the stage and responded, "Hmm."

Seeing her without much reaction, he looked a shade more somber and lowered his voice, "That’s it?"

"Business is the priority, go ahead."

He drew close to her ear, his voice low and teasing, "Then you better not regret me adorning another woman with jewelry." With that said, he stood tall, striding towards the stage as if carried by the wind.

Crazy.

Did this man think everyone was as possessive as he was?

She wasn’t that bored, okay?

It was just about helping Xiaolei put on some jewelry, should she even be bothered by it?

Really.

Her gaze drifted towards the stage, yet she couldn’t help but stiffen slightly.

Huo Zhenyang and Xiaolei stood side by side on the stage.

With European heritage from Mrs. Lan, his facial features were naturally more defined and handsome than those of the Chinese, and standing next to Xiaolei with her mixed-race features, they looked exceptionally well-matched.

The previous indifference seemed to waver a bit.

The emcee’s voice, tinged with a smile, carried over, preceding the jewelry adornment by introducing the season’s designs as per tradition: "...The Eros series is our new key collection for the season, and it will be our major recommendation, inspired by the god of love, Eros. Where the heart belongs, the affections linger. The jewelry set includes a diamond necklace, diamond earrings, a diamond ring..."

Two hostesses dressed in gowns approached Huo Zhenyang with trays holding the Eros series, their voices soft, "Mr. Huo, please adorn Miss Lo."

Xiaolei wore a smile, awaiting the man.

The whole venue quieted down, the sound of photography diminishing substantially.

Huo Zhenyang, however, glanced around and paused, "Zuanshi’s push for this season has undergone a last-minute change."

Su Yan was momentarily taken aback below the stage.

Xiaolei was also surprised.

He looked down from the stage.

Half an hour ago, having just received instructions, Assistant Yu understood and brought the tray onto the stage, unveiling the red cloth.

A necklace of jade, imperial in its rich purple hue, coiled like a serpent upon the tray.

The quality of the jade was exceptional, its texture flawless without a single imperfection.

The luster and sheen were full, like the brimming waters of a lake, and under the spotlights, it felt as though ripples were flowing.

Someone knowledgeable in the crowd exclaimed in amazement, "Is that purple jadeite?"

Jadeite is the supreme of all jades.

In ancient China, purple was known as the imperial color, an extremely rare color in jadeite, earning it the title ’the emperor of jadeite.’

Purple jadeite is not commonly seen in China, and even less so are natural A-grade pieces unearthed in recent years.

Gold has its price, jade is priceless; this strand of purple jadeite is truly invaluable, an inestimable treasure.

The set of diamonds from the Cupid Eros collection, although also expensive, completely lost its luster under the classical and dignified presence of the purple jadeite.

He picked up the strand of purple jadeite and gazed downward, "The focus of Zuanshi Jewelry over the years has always been diamond jewelry. Since Zuanshi has undergone a transformation this year and become a member of the Huo Group, why not change the style and introduce a new atmosphere? The jade series will be the main promoted lineup for Zuanshi Jewelry this season, with ornaments sourced from natural jade mines. This strand of purple jadeite is the kingpin of the season’s collection and also a gift for my wife."

Jiayi was stunned for a moment, then, prompted by her assistant, she stood up.

After a while, amidst the eager anticipation of everyone, she slowly walked onto the stage.

In the glare of the flashbulbs below, he lifted her hair and wrapped the necklace around her neck, clasping it in place.

Jewelry matched with a beauty is like a steed matched with a hero, utterly enchanting.

The dazzling and alluring combination of snow-white skin against the necklace’s romantic purple hue.

An endless wave of admiration and astonishment immediately swept through the crowd.

Below the stage, Su Yan’s face darkened.

Suddenly changing the main product of the season without so much as a heads-up.

But then again, who could say anything? He was the Boss.

The reporters’ attention had already been captured by the imperial purple:

"Such a precious piece of purple jadeite, where did Young Master Huo find it? What’s the market price?"

"In ancient times, jade of this caliber was something that only the ladies of the palace were privileged to wear... Young Master Huo surely made a grand gesture for his lady."

Huo Zhenyang didn’t give a clear answer, simply curling his lips in a faint, somewhat inscrutable smile.

Then the assistant stepped forward, standing in for the boss, smiling as he addressed the media, "Madam is the lady of the Huo Family and has given birth to a son for the Huo Family. This strand of imperial purple is simply a gift from the young master to his wife. Since it’s a gift, it represents a sentiment, unrelated to its value. I urge everyone not to dwell on the origins and worth of the jadeite, as it would spoil the spirit."

With that, the crowd refrained from asking further, laughingly ushering the topic aside.

Young Master Huo didn’t hesitate to present his cherished wife with the priceless imperial purple jadeite before the public...

It was clear that they were in the sweetest phase of their relationship, and this Mrs. Chu, who had just joined the family, along with her son, was truly the apple of Young Master Huo’s eye.

For the moment, all the envious and ardent glances in the room converged on Jiayi.

The protagonist of tonight’s new brand endorser press conference, Xiaolei, who was the center of affection just an hour ago, was left cooling her heels, her face turning several shades more purple than the imperial jadeite. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Su Yan had her assistant call Xiaolei back to her seat and soothed her with a few words, which slightly improved Xiaolei’s mood.

Xiaolei’s expression improved a bit, but Su Yan couldn’t help looking over at Huo Zhenyang and Jiayi not far away...

A trace of cold scorn played across her lips.

Others may not understand Young Master Huo, but didn’t she know him well?

Such public displays of affection, they were not just for doting on Jiayi but also a warning to put her in her place.

She had chosen Xiaolei as the new brand endorser, and he was not pleased.

Because she was Mrs. Huo Tianpei, he had to keep his objections covert.

Yet he used this public declaration of love as a stern reminder for her not to continue opposing him.

Meanwhile.

After returning to the VIP seats, Jiayi had not entirely snapped out of her daze, the sounds of people’s astonishment ringing in her ears,

She raised her hand, touching the purple jadeite at her neck.
