Chapter 682 - What’s Wrong With You (1/2)

“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.”
