Chapter 682: What’s Wrong With You
“It’s not about the money.” Shi ngwan smiled appropriately. “This is the work that won in the competition in France. I didn’t plan to sell it.”
“The design that won the award? So this is the only one?”
When Chen Feifei heard this, she beca even more determined. “Then I’ll take this one.”
“Miss Chen.”
“Alright, aren’t you guys doing business when you open the door?” Chen Feifei looked confused. “How can there be a reason for not doing business when you open the door? If you’re not willing to accept twice the price, then I’ll pay three tis the price. That’s fine, right?”
Shi ngwan didn’t respond, so Chen Feifei was a little dissatisfied. “What’s wrong with you? Don’t I wear your clothes to advertise for you? When that ti cos, more people will know your studio, right? Don’t you know how to do business?”
Shi ngwan couldn’t win against Chen Feifei, so she had no choice but to take off this set of clothes and get soone to wrap it up.
Chen Feifei swiped her card and glanced at Shi ngwan. “Miss Shi, the clothes you designed are actually pretty good, but I think you guys don’t know how to advertise. Next ti, just advertise.”
Shi ngwan didn’t respond. The studio’s popularity actually wasn’t small now. After winning the award, there were a lot of orders on the internet. She was wondering if she should hire a few more people.
“By the way, next ti if you have a new design, you can call .” Chen Feifei took out a business card as she spoke.
“Okay.” Shi ngwan took the business card from Chen Feifei. On it was the title of the Chen Corporation’s account manager.
After sending Chen Feifei away, Shi ngwan looked at the empty model and wasn’t in the mood to think too much. She asked Xiao Ji to get a set of clothes for the model to wear.
A thought flashed through her mind. Chen Feifei was going to attend the banquet. Would Zhan Haoze go? If he did, would he see that dress and think of her?
Shi ngwan realized what she was thinking and quickly stopped that thought.
They have already broken up. She told herself that since it was like this, she had nothing to do with that person.
Not long after she returned to the office, soone ca to look for her. To Shi ngwan’s surprise, the person who ca was Wan Xianyang.
“Why are you here?”
In fact, after returning from France, Wan Xianyang had specifically co to Lin City to look for her twice. Other than coming to look for her, he never stopped texting and calling.
Last ti, when he said he had sothing to do in Lin City, she thought he was just saying it, but she didn’t expect him to really co.
“Can’t I co?” Wan Xianyang handed the bouquet of roses to Shi ngwan. This ti, it was a bouquet of pink roses.
Every ti he ca to look for her, he would definitely send flowers.
Shi ngwan looked at the bouquet of flowers and didn’t take it for a long ti. “Wan Xianyang, I told you, I –”
“I know you don’t like . It’s impossible for you to be with , right?” Wan Xianyang spoke first, and left Shi ngwan speechless. “It’s just a bouquet of flowers for you. You don’t have to be so nervous, right?”
Shi ngwan watched as he forcefully placed the bouquet into her hands. She had no choice but to accept it.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welco.” Wan Xianyang smiled. “You don’t have to thank . If you really want to thank , why don’t you accompany to dinner?”
“Wan Xianyang –”
“After all, I flew all the way from Rong City to look for you. Shouldn’t you show so hospitality as a host?”
Shi ngwan was unable to reject the offer. Furthermore, the other party was Huo Jinyao’s childhood friend, so she finally nodded.
“Okay. Then, wait for . I’ll go change.”
“It’s okay. Beautiful won make people wait.”
Wan Xianyang’s words made Shi ngwan uncomfortable again. She changed her clothes and ca out, but Wan Xianyang looked at her strangely.
His gaze swept over her body, and that made Shi ngwan think that sothing was wrong with her. She followed his gaze and looked at herself.
“You’re very beautiful.”
His complint made Shi ngwan uncomfortable. “Let’s go.”
“Let’s go, what do you want to eat?”
“Anything.” Shi ngwan wasn’t picky about food. Wan Xianyang sighed. “It’s hard for to deal with you like this. I’m treating soone to a al, and I’m most afraid of hearing such casual words.”
When Shi ngwan was a little embarrassed, Wan Xianyang approached her and added, “However, beautiful won have special privileges.”
Shi ngwan couldn’t help but laugh. This Wan Xianyang was an interesting person.
Wan Xianyang brought Shi ngwan to the Chao Wen Academy. Shi ngwan had been here a few tis, but she didn’t expect Wan Xianyang to be so familiar with this place.
Shi ngwan thought it would be awkward for a man and a woman to have dinner alone, but in fact, it wasn’t at all. Wan Xianyang was a very humorous person.
He talked about so interesting things that happened when he went to Hong Kong to auction antiques. Shi ngwan didn’t feel bored.
He had a good sense of propriety and never had any superfluous words or requests. Although there were occasional jokes, it didn’t make her feel awkward.
Shi ngwan looked at Wan Xianyang and had to admit that he was a very good man. Unfortunately, she didn’t have any feelings for him.
After dinner, Wan Xianyang and Shi ngwan were about to leave, but Wan Xianyang bumped into an acquaintance.
“I’m going to say hello. Wait for .”
Shi ngwan wasn’t surprised that Wan Xianyang had an acquaintance in Lin City. However, that person looked familiar. She only rembered later that the other party was also an antique dealer in Lin City. The other party’s daughter had co to her studio to order dresses.
Thinking of Wan Xianyang’s business, she felt that it wasn’t strange for him to know the other party.
After exchanging greetings with the other party, Wan Xianyang returned with an apologetic look on his face. “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, right?”
“It’s alright.”
“Let’s go.”
After sending Shi ngwan to the apartnt building, Wan Xianyang watched her get out of the car and stopped her. “Aren’t you going to invite up?”
Shi ngwan beca nervous because of his words. “I’m afraid it’s not very convenient.”
“I’m just joking.” Wan Xianyang got out of the car and stood in front of her. “It’s the middle of the night. Even if you let up, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to control myself.”
Shi ngwan felt a little embarrassed again. “Wan Xianyang, I really...”
“Stop, stop. Today’s night was very beautiful for . You don’t have to say those disappointing words afterwards, right?”
“Okay. I won’t say it.”
“That’s right.” Wan Xianyang turned around and picked up a small box from the back seat of the car. “This is for you.”
“That isn’t appropriate.”
“There’s nothing inappropriate about it. Just take it as a thank you for accompanying to dinner.”
“There’s no such thing. You invited to dinner, so I can’t accept your gift again.”
Shi ngwan was determined not to accept it, but Wan Xianyang stubbornly placed the small box on her hand. “Don’t worry, it’s not a ring. There’s no need to be so nervous.”
“Wan Xianyang.” Shi ngwan pushed the box back. “You really don’t have to do this. I’ll be embarrassed if you do this.”
“If you’re really embarrassed, how about you accompany to a banquet tomorrow?”
“Banquet?” Shi ngwan froze. “What banquet?”
“Don’t be so nervous.” Wan Xianyang smiled. “It’s the Mr. Dong I t today. Tomorrow is his father’s 70th birthday. My grandfather was friends with him. When he saw , he invited to attend. It’s reasonable for to go, so can I trouble you to be my female companion?”
“Isn’t that inappropriate?”
“How can that be? I don’t think there’s anything inappropriate. Or are you unwilling to help with that?”
Wan Xianyang’s attitude was too open and aboveboard. Shi ngwan saw the sincerity in his eyes and finally nodded. “Okay. I promise you.”
... ..
Since Shi ngwan had promised Wan Xianyang, she naturally would prepare well the next day.
Before she got off work, she picked one from the series that had passed the semi-final. It was a water-blue gown with a calm color. It was very suitable to attend the birthday banquet in.
When Xiao Ji knew that Shi ngwan was going to attend the banquet, she was even more excited than herself. She followed the other two assistants of the company and dolled up Shi ngwan.
Leaving two strands hanging by her ears, her long hair was tied up at the back of her head. Together with a pair of high heels of the sa color. She looked graceful and elegant.
It wasn’t even ti to get off work, but Wan Xianyang had co to pick her up. When he saw the Shi ngwan in front of him, Wan Xianyang’s gaze fell on her, and it never moved away.
“I regret it.” Wan Xianyang stood there with a conflicted look on his face. “I don’t want to take such a beautiful female companion out. I want to hide you.”
His words made Shi ngwan’s nervousness disappear without a trace.
“Thank you. You look very handso today.” Wan Xianyang wore a white suit today. The bow tie on his chest was dark blue. The pocket on his chest also had a touch of light blue.
At a glance, it looked like the two of them were wearing matching outfits. Shi ngwan felt that it was a little strange, but Wan Xianyang was glad that he had chosen this suit today.
He was afraid that Shi ngwan would feel bashful, so he didn’t tease her about it.
“Let’s go.”
Shi ngwan wanted to walk out, but Wan Xianyang stopped. He took out the small box from yesterday from his pocket. When he opened it, there was a pair of blue diamond earrings inside.
“Look, don’t we have a tacit understanding? The gown you chose is the sa color as the one I chose?”
As he spoke, he even looked at himself. It wasn’t just the color of the earrings, the clothes also matched. In short, they all matched well.
Shi ngwan couldn’t answer him, so Wan Xianyang went forward to put them on for her.
“There’s no need, right?”
“Don’t reject .” Wan Xianyang went forward and took out the pair of earrings. “It really suits you. Just take it as my thank you gift for accompanying to the banquet.”
This person could always find so many reasons. Shi ngwan didn’t have ti to reject him, but Wan Xianyang had already put the earrings on her.
Shi ngwan couldn’t see her face. Hs eyes filled with obvious admiration, Wan Xianyang took a step back.
“So beautiful. I really don’t want to bring you there anymore. What should I do?”
Even though he said that, Wan Xianyang still brought Shi ngwan to the hotel where the banquet was held.
When Shi ngwan and Wan Xianyang entered the banquet hall, many people had already arrived. When the two of them entered, they had already tried to keep a low profile, but they still attracted the attention of quite a number of people.
The man was handso and the woman was beautiful, but they were unfamiliar faces. They didn’t seem to be from Lin City.
Wan Xianyang’s antique shop was in Rong City, but he had been traveling all over the world for the past few years in order to buy antiques. More importantly, he had a distinguished family background.
Although he was young in the field of antiques appraisal, he was already very experienced.
The host of today’s banquet, Old Master Dong, had a lot of dealings with Wan Xianyang’s family, so he naturally knew him.
When Old Master Dong’s son Dong Yi saw Wan Xianyang coming over, he imdiately ca over. He had t him yesterday, and he was also the one who had invited Wan Xianyang to today’s banquet.
“Xianyang, you’re here? My dad was just talking about you.”
Dong Yi and Wan Xianyang’s father were of the sa generation, so it was natural for him to be called Wan Xianyang.
“Old Master Cheng misses you.”
Wan Xianyang noticed that Dong Yi’s gaze swept over Shi ngwan. He smiled and said, “Uncle Dong, this is my female companion, Shi ngwan.”
“Hello, Uncle Dong.”
After greeting him, Wan Xianyang followed behind Dong Yi to congratulate Old Master Dong on his birthday. Although he ca in a hurry, he had prepared a very sincere birthday gift.
“Old Master, congratulations.” After delivering the gift, Wan Xianyang had a faint smile on his face the whole ti. “I wish Old Master Dong happiness like the East Sea and longevity like the South Mountain.”
“You’re too polite, Kid from the Wan family, I didn’t expect that Ah-Yi didn’t lie to . You’re really in Lin City.”
“Yeah, I had sothing to do. I heard that it was the old man’s birthday, so I shalessly ca over to ask for a drink. Don’t bla , old man.”
“Hahahaha, Ah-Yi, look at that kid’s mouth. He’s just like his father was back then.”
“Exactly.”
“Old man, don’t tease . When I ca here, my grandfather asked to say hello to you.”
“Okay, okay. Also, give my regards to your grandfather. Tell him to co to Lin City to play when he has ti. I can’t say much about other things here, but the air here is pretty fresh.”
“Okay, I’ll definitely tell him to co to Lin City when he has the chance.”
After Wan Xianyang celebrated his birthday, he introduced Shi ngwan again.
“Old man, this is Shi ngwan, my friend.”
“Hello, old man.” Shi ngwan was quite generous. “I wish you good health and a long life.”
“Good, good.” Old Man Dong smiled. He looked into the distance. “My girl is about the sa age as your friend. Kid from the Wan family, bring your friend to play. You don’t have to stay here with an old man like .”
Wan Xianyang exchanged a few pleasantries and was about to bring Shi ngwan to the dining table at the side when there was a commotion at the door.
Shi ngwan was taken a step back by Wan Xianyang. With this step back, they faced the entrance of the banquet hall. She naturally saw who the person at the entrance was.
Zhan Haoze and Chen Feifei.
Chen Feifei was wearing that dress. It had to be said that she looked very good in that dress.
Chen Feifei’s looks were delicate and fragile. The light green color made her look even more pure.
Zhan Haoze, who was next to her, wore a black suit. He looked mysterious and elegant. When the two of them entered, many people looked in that direction.
The two of them were well-known in Lin City. Moreover, the news that Chen Feifei and Zhan Haoze were engaged had spread.
Dong Yi went up to greet them as usual. Before Shi ngwan and Wan Xianyang could leave, Chen Feifei and Zhan Haoze had already walked over.
Shi ngwan and Zhan Haoze’s gazes unexpectedly t in mid-air.
Shi ngwan’s feet went soft as Zhan Haoze’s gaze swept past her. She almost couldn’t hold it in any longer.
