Chapter 441: Trump Card
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
He was cold to people because life was tough on him. He was never an amiable person but it was just because he didn’t know how to express himself... even though he didn’t know how to communicate his ideas to his good friend, he would still try his best to persuade his friend not to miss his true love.
He knew how Lu Li cared about Wen Ning and all the crazy things that Lu Li had done for Wen Ning, so he hoped that Lu Li did not brush aside his happiness because of a misunderstanding when he was just about to receive it.
He had experienced losing his true love, so he knew how painful it could be. He had sworn that he would never allow himself to miss his true love once again, but Lu Li was different. He had never got Wen Ning, so he thought he could give up on Wen Ning and that working could cure him...
But as time went by, he would recall the time that he spent with Wen Ning. And then the pain would penetrate deep into his flesh, his bones and his heart... and gradually swallow him.
Lu Li took a deep breath and lit up a cigarette, but he didn’t put that cigarette into his mouth, but kept staring at his tiptoes. The two of them fell into silence. It had been quite a while before Lu Li put out the cigarette that had burnt out, turned his eyes to Qiao Liang and smiled. “It’s the first time I heard you say so many words for me.”
“You’re my bosom friend, a friend until death.” Qiao Liang gazed at Lu Li. Lu Li was slightly shorter than him. Looking at Lu Li, Qiao Liang felt he was looking at the past self who had just lost Tang Xi...
Qiao Liang frowned and looked away.
Seeing his movement, Lu Li thought Qiao Liang was shy. He turned up the corners of his mouth. Yes, friends until death. The three of them all took each other as friends until death, friends even more important than their own lives, but they never said it out loud... From what he knew of Qiao Liang, it was not easy for Qiao Liang to say these words to him.
“If there is misunderstanding between us, why doesn’t she explain it to me? It has been so many days since then but she hasn’t contacted me.” A gloomy gleam flickered across Lu Li’s eyes. He looked at Qiao Liang and gave a self-deprecating smile. “Sometimes I doubt that she confessed her love to me that day just to get intelligence about Long Xiao and my whereabouts from me, and then she could wipe out Long Xiao.”
Qiao Liang slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at the reflection of Lu Li in the glass of the French windows of the room. It had been quite a while before he said, “You’re Wen Ning’s teacher. Don’t you know what kind of a girl she is?” Lu Li froze and Qiao Liang continued, “Do you think she is the kind of person who will betray her lover and friend for benefits?”
...
On the other side, Tang Xi had gone back to her room. She opened her suitcase and took out the last featured set of clothes that was designed by her and Chu Ling together, and sewed by Tang Xi with her own hands. It was the fruit of her painstaking labor.
This dress was azure and cyan. Its lower part was a fluffy gauze skirt and its upper part was of a gorgeous mosaic design. Only girls with a very slender waist could put on this dress that looked stunningly gorgeous on the hanger...
Any girl in this dress would look like a little fairy.
Just as Ning Yan said, only a flower fairy deserved this beautiful dress.
Tang Xi hung the dress up and carefully steamed it. Then she looked at the dress in satisfaction and called He Wanyi. It had been quite a while before the latter answered the phone. “Rourou, what’s up?”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows as she heard a noise on the other side of the line. “Sister Wanyi, you’re not in the hotel?”
He Wanyi said, “Yes, I was doing the cover for a magazine, and now the job is finished. The Chief Editor of the magazine treated us to a meal. I’ll be going back to the hotel at about 12 am. Is there anything urgent?”
Tang Xi took a look at the dress and shook her head. “Nothing. I’ll call you tomorrow morning.”
He Wanyi said, “I don’t have any job tomorrow morning, but I’ll have an interview tomorrow afternoon. I’ll go to your room tomorrow morning.”
Tang Xi said “Okay” and hung up. She looked at the dress, shrugged, threw herself into the bed and began to play mobile games. After a while, she felt bored, so she threw the cell phone aside and fell asleep.
He Wanyi hung up, looked at Chu Ling sitting opposite to her and frowned. “Mr. Chu?”
Chu Ling smiled at her and poured a glass of wine for her. “Thank you for your cooperation, Miss He. I’d like to thank you on behalf of The Queen for doing us this favor.”
He Wanyi looked at Chu Ling and pursed her lips. “I don’t understand why Mr. Chu wants me to do this. Do you think I don’t deserve to be The Queen’s endorser?”
“Of course not. It’s our honor to have Miss He as our endorser, but I hope Xiao Rou can wear the most important featured dress in this fashion show.” Chu Ling looked at He Wanyi who looked astonished, and he shrugged. “Well, if Miss He likes that dress, you can try it on, but pardon me, I don’t think that dress suits you.”
The clothes he designed was usually only suitable for specific persons.
Chu Ling took a glance at He Wanyi’s well-curved body and raised his eyebrows. “Miss He, please trust me.”
He Wanyi felt offended by his glance. She glared at him. “What are you looking at?!”
Chu Ling shrugged. “Miss He, you are in good shape, so much so that, that dress is not suitable for you.”
He Wanyi, “...” Was this guy kidding her? It was the first time she heard that a dress was not suitable for someone, because her shape was too good!
“Then I should thank you for your praise.” He Wanyi said, took her handbag, snorted hard and turned to leave.
Chu Ling looked at her receding figure and gave a casual smile. It had been quite a while before he rubbed between his eyebrows and sighed, “Why is it so hard to make the trump card agree to show up??”
