Chapter 125: 125
“With a Platinum membership, you guys can also be served by top masseuses,” said Wen Xinya nonchalantly .
Wen Yuya was so infuriated by her sarcasm that she would have murdered her . Triggered, she unleashed her suppressed feelings, turning reckless and hotheaded .
“Jade, no matter how beautiful it might be, it’s just an accessory…” Like a curse, she was preoccupied with the statement which transformed into little demons in her thoughts . Surrounding her, their razor-sharp teeth in bloody mouths pierced through and devoured her sanity .
“You’ve got a good sense of humor, Xinya . ” Xia Ruya laughed awkwardly—could one’s name really determine her fate?
Ruya—”Ru” had always stood for “follow” and “similar . ” In her twenty years of life, she had been following Wen Xinya as her surrogate . Even after she fell from grace, she was named Ruya, similar to Wen Xinya .
Once such thoughts popped up, they rapidly sprouted, matured, and flourished beyond her control . No… she was not Wen Xinya’s surrogate, she was not similar to her, no… No…
The few words played in her mind repeatedly . Like a green mulberry plant attacked by poisonous parasites, her mutated sanity was sapped and left hanging in a dull tone—the color of hatred .
“Miss, please relax,” whispered the masseuse to Xia Ruya . Due to her occupation, she understood all the bodies she had worked with, and thus, she was the first to sense the animosity radiated by Xia Ruya . Feeling uneasy, she thought it would be best to steer clear of a woman like her .
Suddenly, the whirlwind of emotions felt by Xia Ruya vanished!
Xia Ruya and Wen Yuya’s masseuse, no . 02 and 06, were also popular therapists in the Floral Lingo Pavilion, and typically only served Gold members .
Being her first time enjoying a Gold-member session, Wen Yuya eased her mind and body in the indulgence in no time .
The process over at Wen Xinya’s session was much more elaborate than that of Xia Ruya and Wen Yuya . Applying a trace amount of essence for opening up the pores on her hands, the masseuse first worked on her whole body with light strokes . Only when her body had softened sufficiently for better absorption of products did the masseuse rub her chosen essential oil onto her palms, commencing the massage .
As the skillful masseuse kneaded with just the right amount of strength, Wen Xinya dozed off .
The masseuse muttered gently, “Miss Wen, if you experience any soreness or discomfort in the process, do let me know—I can help you loosen up . ”
“Mmm!” Wen Xinya uttered as she closed her eyes in pleasure .
Her skin tingled as it soaked up the essential oils . With a slight frown, Wen Xinya asked, “This differs from the original essential oil?”
The masseuse grinned . “You’re sharp, Miss Wen . As your body analysis showed cold symptoms, the aromachologist has especially added cinnamon, ginger, and monkshood root to your usual Dew Essence . With regular usage, it’ll alleviate your condition . ”

Wen Xinya cracked up . “The Floral Lingo Pavilion indeed lives up to its name, being able to adjust the concoctions based on the conditions of the patrons’ bodies . I can almost feel the Dew Essence applied on my body entering the bloodstream . ”
“It’s great that you like it!” The masseuse chuckled .
A mild scent lingered—that of the Guelder Rose that she had always adored . Wen Xinya could not help but to wonder: Few would incorporate the strong-smelling ginger and monkshood root into essential oils . Surprisingly, the capable aromachologist at the Floral Lingo Pavilion was able to purge the smell without compromising the effects .
On the other hand, jealousy was driving Xia Ruya and Wen Yuya crazy as they listened to the conversation between Wen Xinya and her masseuse .
They were using off-the-shelf essential oils and beauty products and had never heard of such an amazing personalization of essential oils as provided by the Floral Lingo Pavilion .
The full body massage took an entire hour!
Following which, a bunch of service staff carrying all kinds of skincare products streamed into the massage room .
Beautician no . 09 took over from masseuse no . 09 for Wen Xinya’s wellness treatment .

“Miss Wen, beautician no . 09 taking care of your facial . ” Beautician no . 09 pulled out a glass case containing pale pink tubes with a mild, exquisite scent .
The beautician employed a unique methodology for Wen Xinya’s facial, so as to maximize her skin’s absorption of the skincare products . “Mind if I ask where you got the skin care products from? I’ve never heard of such an organic, 95% absorbed and irritant-free product which nourishes and keeps the skin supple—it’s the best I’ve ever seen . ”
As a professional beautician, it was the basics to distinguish the good beauty products from the bad .
Wen Xinya smiled without replying . The skincare products had been given by Du Ruo—they were traditional Chinese medicine products, absolutely organic and irritant-free, and exclusive .
With her question unanswered, the beautician brushed it off . “Miss Wen’s excellent skin quality, flawless complexion, and supple face is a perfect match for such a product . ”
Although it paid to start early, simple massaging was sufficient for a teenage girl—there was no need for any particular skincare routine which would likely backfire and damage the skin cell, rob the elasticity of the skin, and cause a reliance on products . It was clear that Miss Wen was aware of this .
Wen Yuya recalled her skin analysis at the Floral Lingo Pavilion which indicated that her skin quality was subpar, prompting her to start a skincare routine prematurely . As she overheard the beautician’s praises for Wen Xinya, she once again felt inferior, intensifying the hatred within her .
After completing both skincare and facial, yet another hour had passed .

A radiant gang emerged after the massage session . Wen Yuya chirped, “Indeed, the top masseuses of the Floral Lingo Pavilion are popular for a reason—the extraordinary massaging skills have given a new lease of life to my rejuvenated, lighter body . ”
Xia Ruya laughed . “You’re exaggerating, but it’s really quite relaxing . ”
Wen Xinya stretched—unlike during the massage when she had felt sore all over and was sleepy, she was revitalized after the session .
With a manicure and hair treatment, Wen Xinya concluded the 4-hour treatment .
It was 7 P . M . —she needed to rush over to the New Century Manor as the dinner was at 8 P . M .
Tomorrow, the grand homecoming party for the starlet would commence . Surprises await!
