72 The Suit Is Bad

'Gu Yechen glared at Qin Lai

who nervously cleared his throat before continuing

”But he's my boss.”'

'He Xinyan gasped in surprise. Boss? But Qin Lai was the owner of his own clothing line

so how did he have a boss?'

'Qin Lai suddenly stood up

”I'll be right back.”'

'A second later

he came back with a pot of tea and he poured some into three cups

”Storytime! So

it all began when I was 17 years old. Well

I've always had a dream to be a fashion designer and start my own brand. But I was young. I searched and searched for people willing to sponsor me

but no one did. Until

I met my savior

Lord Gu.”'

'Qin Lai's eyes sparkled as he talked about this memory

”Lord Gu had great taste in fashion. He saw into the future that I would be successful right there and then! He sponsored me several million so I could start my own brand

but his only condition was that I have to be his personal designer.”'

'Qin Lai frowned slightly

”I could still share my works with the rest of the world

but only Lord Gu could wear my clothes. In the beginning

I mainly designed male clothing

but Lord Gu had me design more female clothing too a few months ago. Hehe

now I know why.”'

'He Xinyan was still in shock after the story was over. So

her partner wasn't only just the richest and most powerful man in Country Z. . . He was also the boss of the best fashion designer in the world?!'

'”Okay

enough. Where are the dresses?” Gu Yechen asked.'

'”Let's go!” Qin Lai stood up and together

they walked back into the room

where the pieces of clothing were displayed.'

'”There are more inside

but I think the ones displayed better. Do you want to look through the ones displayed first?”'

'He Xinyan nodded and walked around the room. Now

she knew why the dresses looked familiar. Every single one on display had been on Qin Lai's shows before. They looked even more beautiful in person than on the television.'

'He Xinyan looked through the 13 dresses on display and walked over to Gu Yechen

”Yechen

I don't really want to wear a dress that people have seen before.”'

'Although it would genuinely be cool to wear a piece of clothing by Qin Lai that everyone knows about

it would also be weird. Everyone that knew Qin Lai also knew that he never sold his clothing.'

'So

if she wore his clothing to the engagement party or wedding

people would assume that what she was wearing was fake.'

'That way

instead of getting a positive result

it would only result in an embarrassment.'

'Before Gu Yechen could respond

Qin Lai poked his head out from a room down a hallway

and he waved at them

”Come!”'

'They walked over and Xinyan saw that there was another large room filled with dresses that she did not recognize.'

'”These. . .”'

'”All for you! I started this collection a month ago and Lord Gu had commanded that these dresses can not be shown to the world.”'

'He Xinyan stared at the row of beautiful gowns in awe. A month ago. . . That was when they had just met. She turned around and stared at Gu Yechen. How was he so sure a month ago that she would still be by his side in the future? How did he know that she would need these dresses in the future?'

'He had everything planned out. He had thought ahead for her.'

'He Xinyan puffed her cheeks out as she felt a sour feeling in her nose

but she wasn't going to cry in front of her idol!'

'Xinyan took a deep breath and looked through the collection of dresses. Everything was her size and there were at least 15 dresses on the rack.'

'In the end
