Lin Qingqian’s brows moved slightly. “Then can you not bring Song Qin along when you go on a business trip?”
“Sure,” Jiang Yanshen replied without thinking.
Lin Qingqian: ‘
“This time, I’m styling for Li Wenwen. Xiao Bai won’t go.”
Jiang Yanshen nodded. “Call me every day.”
Lin Qingqian smiled. “I haven’t gone yet.”
Jiang Yanshen hugged her with his long arms and pulled her in tightly. He lowered his head and kissed the center of her hair.
This was the first time they would be separated for so long since they got back together. At the thought of not being able to see her like this, Jiang Yanshen’s heart felt like it was weighed down by a rock. It was heavy and he could not breathe.
Lin Qingqian felt his reluctance and reached out to hug him. She said softly, “In the past, I was the one waiting for you. Now, it’s your turn to wait for me.” Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips curled up slightly, his smile mixed with helplessness.
This definitely would not be the only time.
Now was not the time to talk about this. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Before getting into the car, he reminded her to bring Chen Mu along when she went overseas.
In order to reassure him, Lin Qingqian agreed.
Jiang Yanshen sat in the car. The window rolled down and Old Madam Jiang waved at her.
Lin Qingqian waved her hand. “Goodbye, Grandma.”
Jiang Yanshen stared at her with his deep and dark eyes. Only when the car drove away and he could no longer see her did he slowly lower his long eyelashes.
The old lady teased from the side, “Now you know what it feels like to be abandoned.”
Jiang Yanshen raised his eyelids lazily and stopped bickering with the old lady. He took out his phone and opened WeChat..
The old lady chuckled and turned to look out of the window.
Song Qin had just bought the pancakes and had yet to take a bite when she saw
Jiang Yanshen’s WeChat message. With a bang, the pancakes fell to the ground.
Jiang Yanshen: You don’t have to follow me on business trips in the future. You don’t have to be responsible for my daily life anymore as well.
This feeling was like being promoted to the head of the Imperial Household after obtaining the Emperor’s recognition. The next second, she was demoted to a young eunuch.
For a long, long time, Song Qin did not understand what she had done wrong to be banished to the cold palace.
Seeing Lu Yuan become a popular person in front of Director Jiang, second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people…
After Jiang Yanshen arrived in Jiang City, he sent Lin Qingqian a WeChat message.
After Lin Qingqian replied to his message, he did not send anymore because he was afraid of disturbing her work.
When Lin Qingqian finished showering at night and walked out of the bathroom, Jiang Yanshen’s message came.
Ah Yan: “The night scenery in Jiang City is not bad.”
Lin Qingqian heard the deeper meaning in his words and deliberately did not answer. She replied: “You have to admire it carefully then.” Ah Yan said, “There’s one less scenery. It’s not perfect.”
Lin Qingqian asked, “What scenery?”
Ah Yan said, “You.”
Lin Qingqian was stunned for a moment and she couldn’t help but laugh.
Ah Yan said, “Can I video call you?”
Lin Qingqian looked down at her pajamas and tidied them up before replying:
“Ok.”
The next second, a video call came in.
Jiang Yanshen probably did not know how to make a video call. He held his cell phone very close and his entire face was enlarged on Lin Qingqian’s screen.
Fortunately, he was good-looking enough. Otherwise, she would really die.
“Take your phone further away, or I won’t be able to see you clearly.” Lin Qingqian taught him.
Jiang Yanshen listened to her and took his phone away. His upper body was exposed on the screen, and she could see the scene behind him. He should be in some high-class hotel.
“Has Grandma settled down?”
Jiang Yanshen nodded. “Go and dry your hair first.”
Lin Qingqian had just come out of the bathroom. Her hair was still wet and she had yet to wipe it.
Lin Qingqian nodded and brought her phone to the living room. She fixed her phone on the coffee table and found a hairdryer to dry her hair.
Jiang Yanshen watched her blow-dry her hair from the other end of the video. His exquisite facial features were calm, as if he couldn’t get enough of her.
Lin Qingqian spent ten minutes blowing her hair until it was half dry before stopping and turning off the hairdryer.
Jiang Yanshen: “You’re not drying it completely?”
Lin Qingqian put down the hairdryer and bent down to look at the camera. She said softly, “There’s no need to dry it so thoroughly in the summer. Let it dry naturally.”
Jiang Yanshen nodded and stared at her for a few seconds. “Where’s the anklet?”
Lin Qingqian revealed a helpless smile and picked up her phone to angle it at her feet. “I’m wearing it.”
Through the screen, he saw the anklet on her slender ankles that he had personally put on. His eyebrows and eyes were filled with a faint smile. “Go to your room.”
Lin Qingqian nodded and returned to her room with her cell phone. She lay on the bed, lifted the blanket, and lay down. Her cell phone was propped up on the other side with a stand. She turned her head to look at the camera and chatted with him.
“How’s Grandma?”
Jiang Yanshen was also on the bed, but he didn’t lie down like her. Instead, he sat on the bed and looked down at her fair face in the camera. “Grandma has settled down. I’ll go back in two days.”
Lin Qingqian nodded and was a little sleepy. She yawned and said, “I’ll go to
Jiang City with you to see her after I’m done.”
Jiang Yanshen agreed gently and saw her yawning. “Do you want to sleep?” “Mm.” Although she said that, she did not turn off the video.
Jiang Yanshen turned his head and saw a book on the bedside table. He casually took it and flipped it open, reading in a low and mellow voice.
When Lin Qingqian heard his voice, her eyelids became heavier and heavier. In the end, she couldn’t take it anymore and fell down.
Jiang Yanshen read for half an hour. When he looked at his cell phone, the woman In tne camera naa alreaay ramen asleep.
Her facial features were delicate, and her eyebrows were elegant and exquisite. A few strands of hair fell down, making her face look even fairer. Her red lips were pursed as she slept soundly.
“Qianqian, good night.” His thin lips curled up, and he placed his phone on the bedside table after saying that in a low and hoarse voice.
He got out of bed and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to look at the night scenery that was different from Lan City. The warmth and softness in his eyes were tight, leaving only a coldness mixed with a hint of confusion…
On the day Jiang Yanshen returned to Lan City, Lin Qingqian followed Li Wenwen’s team to France.
Li Wenwen’s movie was nominated for this French film exhibition. If she could win an award, Li Wenwen’s status in the international film industry would increase. Even if she could not stand out on the red carpet, she could still become famous internationally.
Therefore, the team really valued the itinerary this time.
Other than Suisui and Brother Chen, everyone else stayed in the country.
After arriving in Paris and checking in, Li Wenwen and her manager came to look for Lin Qingqian.
Because Lin Qingqian had never communicated with them about the style this time, they were not confident and naturally had to ask.
Lin Qingqian and Suisui’s luggage had yet to be opened, so she could only ask Suisui to get them mineral water.
The manager said anxiously, “We’re not thirsty. President Lin, what exactly are you thinking about Wenwen’s style this time? If you’re ready, quickly let
Wenwen try on the clothes. If they’re not suitable, you can change them.”
Lin Qingqian sat down, her elegant facial features calm as she said slowly,
“There’s no need to try it on. I guarantee it’s suitable for Miss Li.”
Seeing that she was unwilling to say anything, the manager’s expression did not look good. “President Lin, you have to know how important this movie exhibition is to our Wenwen. If it’s not suitable..
After a pause, he received Li Wenwen’s gaze and added, “Even if we don’t have to try it on, at least let us know in advance which brand you borrowed from so that it’ll be easier for us to match her style.”
“It’s not a brand.” Lin Qingqian’s gentle voice sounded in their puzzled eyes. “I designed it myself.”
“What?” The manager stood up in surprise. “Aren’t you a stylist? Do you know how to make clothes? Could it be some strange design?”
“Let me tell you, this movie exhibition is very important to Wenwen. You
can’t… ”
Before he could finish speaking, Li Wenwen interrupted, “Brother Jiang.”
Brother Jiang’s voice paused, but he could not hide the anger on his face as he stared at Lin Qingqian suspiciously.
Li Wenwen was calmer than Brother Jiang. “President Lin, you didn’t prepare
Master Qi’s clothes this time?”
Everyone in the industry knew that President Lin was Master Qi’s disciple and had many of Master Qi’s works.
If she could wear Master Qi’s work and walk the red carpet, the topic should not be low.
Lin Qingqian curved her lips. “My master’s work is indeed good, but since we’re here, we should do as the Romans do.”
The more she said this, the more worried Li Wenwen and the others became. They couldn’t hide the uneasiness in their eyes.
When Lin Qingqian saw them like this, she knew that if she did not reveal the truth, they would probably not be able to sleep well at night.
She stood up and said, “Wait a moment.”
Lin Qingqian brought Suisui back to her room, and Brother Jiang immediately lowered his voice and said, “Wenwen, why did you choose her back then? She’s too unreliable.”
After a pause, he said, “Why don’t I contact the other stylists now? As long as we give them enough money, it should be fine.”
Li Wenwen was worried, but she was not as flustered as him. She said calmly,
“Brother Jiang, don’t be anxious. Let’s take a look first.”
“Don’t be anxious? How can I not be anxious?” Brother Jiang was anxious. “This event is very important to you. You can’t fall in the hands of that little girl.”
As he spoke, he blamed himself in frustration. “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have listened to you. I would have contacted a reliable styling team.
Now, we wouldn’t have…
Before he could finish speaking, he looked up and saw the door open. Lin Qingqian and Suisui pushed out a moving clothes rack and he instinctively gasped.
Li Wenwen was also stunned when she looked over.
Hanging on the clothes hanger is a pale white dress with a Mandarin collar.
There is an embroidered orchid pattern delicately stitched on the upper part. The waist and sleeve cuffs feature tassel designs, while the long skirt below flows gracefully, revealing a faint blue hue as it sways.
Like a rising tide, different colors would appear at different times.
Brother Jiang was completely stunned.
Li Wenwen had already stood up. When she walked closer, she saw that the pale white color was gradually turning pink. Although it was very faint, it was faintly discernible.
“You designed this?” She couldn’t believe it.
Lin Qingqian nodded. “Stylists and designers are originally the same thing. It’s just that I haven’t made clothes in a few years, so I’ve always looked for brands to work with previously. ”
Li Wenwen felt very comfortable looking at the cloth of the dress. She wanted to touch it, but she remembered that she had not washed her hands and took it back.
From their reactions, Lin Qingqian knew that they were very satisfied with her design. “If the effect is good this time, I’ll launch my own independent brand in the future. ”
This time, it was a test and a soft launch..
