Cole: Mr. Strakovski, is this the Song Dynasty blue and white porcelain that you auctioned off in a foreign country
two years ago?
Lukas: Yes.
Cole: ...
Elias: Impressive, a bouquet worth a few dozen dollars paired with a priceless vase, what kind of magic is that?
Lukas: Shut up, no one gives you a piece of their mind!
Elias: You can't even tell the truth these days. Lettell you, with that bunch of flowers, you'd be better off with
a ten-dollar vase!
Lukas: Do you want to die?
Elias: I'm leaving. Don't get angry!
Reese felt a complex mixture of emotions as she read these comments.

Did he just put the flowers in an antique blue and white porcelain vase?
She stared at the photo on her phone for a moment, feeling something she couldn't quite put into words.
At that moment, Lukas called out to her from outside, "Reese, it's tfor dinner! Reese was taken aback, but
she composed herself and went to the door.
When she opened the door and saw Lukas's handsface, she felt something strange. Lukas was smiling and
seemed a little so happy.
You see when someone who rarely smiles suddenly looks overly happy, it can be quite scary.
Reese frowned, "Did something good happen to you?"
Lukas grinned with deep joy in his eyes, "Today is Valentine's Day, and I'm very happy!"
Reese's mouth twitched. Was there a connection between these two things?
As they walked downstairs, Reese remembered the social media post. She casually asked, "I saw your social
media post. Did you really arrange the flowers in an antique blue and white porcelain vase?"
Lukas nodded, "Yes. Is there a problem with that?"
Reese's expression beccomplicated, and it seemed to be true.
After sthought, she asked, "How much did this vase cost?"
Lukas hesitated for a moment and gave an honest answer, "At that time, the final auction price seemed to have
reached the hundreds million dollar line ..."
Reese couldn't believe her ears that she almost stumbled on the stairs as she walked down the floor. Lukas
quickly helped her, "Are you okay?"
Reese looked at him with a pained expression and said, "I'm fine, but... shouldn't a vase like this be preserved?
Or just place it as it is? What if it gets damaged or scratched? It will be such a huge waste, considering how
much it's worth!"
Lukas didn't think much of it, "A vase is meant to be used for flowers, right?"
Reese felt complex emotions, "Antique vases like this should be preserved or displayed as they are. Using them

Lukas glanced at her, "Does it break your heart? If so, how about | just give the vase to you?"
Reese quickly shook her head, "No, thank you. | already have a vase. | mean, | gave you this bouquet, and you
can just use a regular vase for it!"
Lukas furrowed his brow, "Isn't that just an ordinary vase?"
He still believed that using a vase that wasn't special would diminish the ethereal quality of the bouquet.
Reese couldn't believe what she's hearing now. Did he just call an antique vase from China's Song Dynasty that
is worth over a hundred million dollars an ordinary vase?
Ah, rich people and their antics, Reese thought. She really doesn't want to talk to rich people, especially about
similar matters like this.
Rich people are so evil! They think they're superior just because they have money!
She muttered a few complaints in her mind and hurried downstairs. But as soon as she reached the first floor, all
the lights suddenly went out, leaving only a dim candlelight in the dining room.
