Chapter 7 Reunion

  • "Alright, I'll go right away," Chen Su responded, ready to carry out the task.
  • "Wait, print out all the photos and place them on my desk."
  • "Alright, CEO," Chen Su chuckled as he closed the door.
  • Cold Night turned around and looked at the folder on the table, smiling helplessly. If it weren't for the fear of rumors hurting An Jingxi, how could he have stepped down?
  • He didn't want to see his girl get hurt, nor did he want her to be troubled again.
  • An Jingxi remained unaffected by all this, going about her days, eating and drinking as usual.
  • Recently, she took on a big case, designing jewelry for the charity gala of the top socialite in City S, Mu Qingwan.
  • The designers below had already interacted with Mu Qingwan several times, but she was never satisfied. In the end, she specifically requested An Jingxi to design for her.
  • Following the principle of putting the customer first, An Jingxi redesigned a piece for her, naming it "Nian Chu" (Yearning for the Beginning).
  • Tang Cheng received a call from Mu Qingwan's assistant, "General Manager An, Miss Mu's assistant called and asked you to personally go to the Heart Tranquility Hotel to meet them. They're waiting for you there." After speaking, Tang Cheng stood by, panting.
  • Upon hearing this, An Jingxi took the car keys and set off with Tang Cheng. In no time, they arrived at the entrance of the Heart Tranquility Hotel.
  • As An Jingxi walked and gave instructions to Tang Cheng, she accidentally stepped on the freshly waxed floor.
  • She lost her balance and was about to fall backward. Just as she thought, "This is it, I'm definitely going to fall hard," a pair of big hands caught her and pulled her into their embrace.
  • This scent felt somewhat familiar.
  • An Jingxi looked up and saw the extraordinarily handsome face of Cold Night. Her face instantly turned red from her cheeks to her ears.
  • "Are you okay?" Cold Night gently asked.
  • "I'm fine, thank you, Mr. Cold," An Jingxi suddenly reacted and gently broke free from his embrace, taking two steps back to maintain a distance.
  • "Miss An, openly throwing yourself into my arms in public, it seems like you do have some interest in me, right?" Cold Night leaned down slightly, a mischievous smile playing on his lips, and whispered in An Jingxi's ear, "It seems that Miss An is being contradictory... to the extreme, hmm?"
  • An Jingxi was momentarily confused by the cold smile of the night, feeling a sense of familiarity...
  • "Mr. An, are you okay?!" Suddenly, Tang Cheng called out to An Jingxi, snapping her back to reality.
  • "I'm fine."
  • Tang Cheng anxiously looked in their direction, wanting to come over, but was stopped by the bodyguards.
  • "What nonsense are you talking about? I have something to attend to, so I'll leave first." Without waiting for a response from Cold Night, she ran off with Tang Cheng.
  • Cold Night watched her hurriedly escaping figure and couldn't help but smile.
  • Passersby couldn't help but whisper to each other in groups, unable to believe that the ice-cold Cold Night was actually smiling?!
  • Chen Su, who was standing nearby, saw the situation was not good and couldn't help but remind their CEO, "CEO, we should leave."
  • Upon hearing Chen Su's voice, Cold Night looked up and glanced in the direction An Jingxi had fled.
  • Little fox, you can't escape. You can only be my woman!
  • An Jingxi was led by a waiter to the private room where Mu Qingwan was.
  • Inside the private room, a woman with delicate features sat quietly, playing with her phone, exuding an air of elegance.
  • Mu Qingwan heard the sound from outside the door, raised her head, and looked at An Jingxi with a scrutinizing gaze.
  • An Jingxi felt something strange in Mu Qingwan's gaze. Although she was quite famous abroad, her popularity in the country had not yet taken off. How could she be specifically requested to design for her?
  • Although she was puzzled, An Jingxi didn't show any signs on her face. She took the box from Tang Cheng's hand and gently placed the well-designed jewelry on the table.
  • "Miss Mu, this is designed based on your previous requirements and the theme of this event. Please take a look and let me know if there are any issues or improvements needed."
  • An Jingxi smiled at Mu Qingwan, prepared for the possible challenges she might face. She had done her research before coming and knew that this person could be difficult to deal with.
  • "Hmm, okay."
  • It was a set of minimalist-style jewelry, consisting of a forehead ornament, earrings, necklace, and bracelet.
  • The forehead ornament was composed of white and purple, with chains extending on both sides of the forehead, converging into a lifelike purple butterfly. The round diamond necklace was adorned with a square crystal pendant, emitting a pure radiance under the sunlight...
  • Mu Qingwan looked at it for a while but didn't say anything.
  • "You wait here, I'll go try it on and see how it matches with my outfit."
  • An Jingxi felt relieved when Mu Qingwan agreed to give it a try. After all, her willingness to try indicated a change. Previously, she had rejected everything without even looking at it.
  • After a while, Mu Qingwan came out of the room and walked to the full-length mirror.
  • "Not bad. I will be on stage in half an hour. If there are any problems with the designs you guys made, I'll make sure you regret it!" Mu Qingwan admired herself while speaking.
  • "Okay, as long as you are satisfied," An Jingxi knew her temper and didn't want to say much. She just wanted to finish work early and go back to accompany Lele.
  • "Being too obedient and agreeable is annoying," Mu Qingwan muttered.
  • A woman's sixth sense told her that Mu Qingwan had some hostility towards her. An Jingxi thought that maybe she was overthinking it since they had never met before.
  • Suddenly, Mu Qingwan seemed to have seen someone and lifted her skirt as she ran towards the door.
  • "Brother Lengye, you're here."
  • An Jingxi was slightly stunned. This "Brother Lengye" couldn't be the same "Lengye" she knew, right?
  • It couldn't be that unlucky. It must not be.
  • "What a coincidence, Miss An is here too," Lengye said casually.
  • An Jingxi didn't want to face reality and turned around. When she raised her eyes, she saw that it was indeed Lengye!
  • An Jingxi helplessly covered her forehead. How could she encounter this person everywhere?
  • "Brother Lengye, look at me~ Am I pretty?" Mu Qingwan looked at Lengye, ignoring An Jingxi. She wanted to hold Lengye's sleeve and act coquettishly.
  • Lengye subtly avoided her and calmly said, "The clothes and jewelry are nice. They suit you."
  • "Really? I love them too," Mu Qingwan smiled in response to Lengye's compliment.
  • An Jingxi witnessed this scene and couldn't help but feel surprised. Just a moment ago, Mu Qingwan seemed hesitant, but now she was showing so much enthusiasm?
  • But as long as she liked it, it would save trouble. An Jingxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
  • "They look amazing. Who designed them for you?" Lengye asked casually.
  • Mu Qingwan didn't answer directly; instead, she playfully tugged at Lengye's sleeve and asked, "Brother Lengye, can I be your date?"
  • An Jingxi trembled as she observed Mu Qingwan's behavior.
  • Lengye didn't even hesitate and declined, "No, Qingwan, you know I never bring dates."
  • "Fine..." Mu Qingwan pouted and reluctantly agreed.
  • "The banquet is about to begin, so I'll go ahead," Cold Night stated, glancing at An Jingxi before leaving the room.
  • As Cold Night walked away, Mu Qingwan's expression suddenly changed, revealing a completely different side from before.
