Chapter 682: What’s Wrong With You

Chapter 682: What’s Wrong With You

“It’s not about the money.” Shi Mengwan 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 became 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 times the price. That’s fine, right?”

Shi Mengwan 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 time comes, more people will know your studio, right? Don’t you know how to do business?”

Shi Mengwan couldn’t win against Chen Feifei, so she had no choice but to take off this set of clothes and get someone to wrap it up.

Chen Feifei swiped her card and glanced at Shi Mengwan. “Miss Shi, the clothes you designed are actually pretty good, but I think you guys don’t know how to advertise. Next time, just advertise.”

Shi Mengwan 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 time if you have a new design, you can call me.” Chen Feifei took out a business card as she spoke.

“Okay.” Shi Mengwan 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 Mengwan 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 Mengwan 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, someone came to look for her. To Shi Mengwan’s surprise, the person who came was Wan Xianyang.

“Why are you here?”

In fact, after returning from France, Wan Xianyang had specifically come to Lin City to look for her twice. Other than coming to look for her, he never stopped texting and calling.

Last time, when he said he had something to do in Lin City, she thought he was just saying it, but she didn’t expect him to really come.

“Can’t I come?” Wan Xianyang handed the bouquet of roses to Shi Mengwan. This time, it was a bouquet of pink roses.

Every time he came to look for her, he would definitely send flowers.

Shi Mengwan looked at the bouquet of flowers and didn’t take it for a long time. “Wan Xianyang, I told you, I –”

“I know you don’t like me. It’s impossible for you to be with me, right?” Wan Xianyang spoke first, and left Shi Mengwan speechless. “It’s just a bouquet of flowers for you. You don’t have to be so nervous, right?”

Shi Mengwan watched as he forcefully placed the bouquet into her hands. She had no choice but to accept it.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Wan Xianyang smiled. “You don’t have to thank me. If you really want to thank me, why don’t you accompany me to dinner?”

“Wan Xianyang –”

“After all, I flew all the way from Rong City to look for you. Shouldn’t you show some hospitality as a host?”

Shi Mengwan was unable to reject the offer. Furthermore, the other party was Huo Jinyao’s childhood friend, so she finally nodded.

“Okay. Then, wait for me. I’ll go change.”

“It’s okay. Beautiful women make people wait.”

Wan Xianyang’s words made Shi Mengwan uncomfortable again. She changed her clothes and came out, but Wan Xianyang looked at her strangely.

His gaze swept over her body, and that made Shi Mengwan think that something was wrong with her. She followed his gaze and looked at herself.

“You’re very beautiful.”

His compliment made Shi Mengwan uncomfortable. “Let’s go.”

“Let’s go, what do you want to eat?”

“Anything.” Shi Mengwan wasn’t picky about food. Wan Xianyang sighed. “It’s hard for me to deal with you like this. I’m treating someone to a meal, and I’m most afraid of hearing such casual words.”

When Shi Mengwan was a little embarrassed, Wan Xianyang approached her and added, “However, beautiful women have special privileges.”

Shi Mengwan couldn’t help but laugh. This Wan Xianyang was an interesting person.

Wan Xianyang brought Shi Mengwan to the Chao Wen Academy. Shi Mengwan had been here a few times, but she didn’t expect Wan Xianyang to be so familiar with this place.

Shi Mengwan 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 some interesting things that happened when he went to Hong Kong to auction antiques. Shi Mengwan 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 Mengwan 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 Mengwan were about to leave, but Wan Xianyang bumped into an acquaintance.

“I’m going to say hello. Wait for me.”

Shi Mengwan wasn’t surprised that Wan Xianyang had an acquaintance in Lin City. However, that person looked familiar. She only remembered later that the other party was also an antique dealer in Lin City. The other party’s daughter had come 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 Mengwan to the apartment building, Wan Xianyang watched her get out of the car and stopped her. “Aren’t you going to invite me up?”

Shi Mengwan became 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 me up, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to control myself.”

Shi Mengwan felt a little embarrassed again. “Wan Xianyang, I really…”

“Stop, stop. Today’s night was very beautiful for me. 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 me to dinner.”

“There’s no such thing. You invited me to dinner, so I can’t accept your gift again.”

Shi Mengwan 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 Mengwan 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 me to a banquet tomorrow?”

“Banquet?” Shi Mengwan froze. “What banquet?”

“Don’t be so nervous.” Wan Xianyang smiled. “It’s the Mr. Dong I met today. Tomorrow is his father’s 70th birthday. My grandfather was friends with him. When he saw me, he invited me to attend. It’s reasonable for me 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 me with that?”

Wan Xianyang’s attitude was too open and aboveboard. Shi Mengwan saw the sincerity in his eyes and finally nodded. “Okay. I promise you.”

… ..

Since Shi Mengwan 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 Mengwan 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 Mengwan.

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 same color. She looked graceful and elegant.

It wasn’t even time to get off work, but Wan Xianyang had come to pick her up. When he saw the Shi Mengwan 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 Mengwan’s nervousness disappear without a trace.

“Thank you. You look very handsome 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 Mengwan felt that it was a little strange, but Wan Xianyang was glad that he had chosen this suit today.

He was afraid that Shi Mengwan would feel bashful, so he didn’t tease her about it.

“Let’s go.”

Shi Mengwan 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 same 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 Mengwan couldn’t answer him, so Wan Xianyang went forward to put them on for her.

“There’s no need, right?”

“Don’t reject me.” 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 me to the banquet.”

This person could always find so many reasons. Shi Mengwan didn’t have time to reject him, but Wan Xianyang had already put the earrings on her.

Shi Mengwan 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 Mengwan to the hotel where the banquet was held.

When Shi Mengwan 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 handsome 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 immediately came over. He had met 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 same 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 Mengwan. He smiled and said, “Uncle Dong, this is my female companion, Shi Mengwan.”

“Hello, Uncle Dong.”

After greeting him, Wan Xianyang followed behind Dong Yi to congratulate Old Master Dong on his birthday. Although he came 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 time. “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 me. You’re really in Lin City.”

“Yeah, I had something to do. I heard that it was the old man’s birthday, so I shamelessly came over to ask for a drink. Don’t blame me, 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 me. When I came here, my grandfather asked me to say hello to you.”

“Okay, okay. Also, give my regards to your grandfather. Tell him to come to Lin City to play when he has time. I can’t say much about other things here, but the air here is pretty fresh.”

“Okay, I’ll definitely tell him to come to Lin City when he has the chance.”

After Wan Xianyang celebrated his birthday, he introduced Shi Mengwan again.

“Old man, this is Shi Mengwan, my friend.”

“Hello, old man.” Shi Mengwan 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 same 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 me.”

Wan Xianyang exchanged a few pleasantries and was about to bring Shi Mengwan to the dining table at the side when there was a commotion at the door.

Shi Mengwan 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 Mengwan and Wan Xianyang could leave, Chen Feifei and Zhan Haoze had already walked over.

Shi Mengwan and Zhan Haoze’s gazes unexpectedly met in mid-air.

Shi Mengwan’s feet went soft as Zhan Haoze’s gaze swept past her. She almost couldn’t hold it in any longer.
