Chapter 288: He Wanted to See Her, So He Came

Lin Qingqian stood in front of the sink and splashed cold water on her face. Her dizzy mind instantly cleared up.
From the corner of her eye, she looked at her right hand. The exquisite diamond shone with a dazzling luster. If it was in the past, she would definitely be happy, but now—
She slowly took off the ring and placed it in front of the sink. She looked up at her small face in the mirror that was covered in water droplets.
The hand on the sink slowly curled into a fist.
She wasn’t ready to enter a marriage relationship with Jiang Yanshen again.
During breakfast, Jiang Yanshen saw that there was no diamond ring on her right ring finger and his eyes darkened.
Regarding the diamond ring, the two of them tacitly refused to mention it as if it had never happened.
After breakfast, Jiang Yanshen sent her to work as usual.
When Lin Qingqian got out of the car, she even gave him a kiss goodbye!
Jiang Yanshen smiled as he watched her back view into the company. The smile on his thin lips suddenly darkened as he instructed Lu Yuan, who was in the front passenger seat, coldly, “Go and investigate that girl called Ming Xiao.”
Lin Qingqian had just entered the office when Suisui rushed in and said pitifully, “Qianqian..
“What’s wrong?” Lin Qingqian put down her handbag and sat down before looking at her.
“I danced with Lu Qinshang yesterday!” Suisui also sat down. Her hands were on the table, and her chin was on her hands. She looked pitiful like a cute puppy.
Lin Qingqian replied absent-mindedly, “Congratulations, you’ve taken advantage of your idol!”
Suisui bared her teeth. “How can you say that? I’m a standard Mama fan. How can I crave my baby’s body!”
Lin Qingqian turned on the computer and glanced at her from the corner of her eye. “Then what exactly happened to you?”
At the thought of her idol expelling her as a fan, she looked like she had nothing to live for.
Lin Qingqian was speechless for a moment before saying, “Isn’t there a popular saying about idols and their fans?
She thought for a moment. “An idol needs to stay away from his fan’s life. He was the one who asked you to dance last night. Hence, he doesn’t have the right to expel you.”
“Really?” Suisui’s almond-shaped eyes were instantly ignited with hope. Lin Qingqian: “Why don’t I call him and ask?”
“No need!” Suisui immediately refused. She grabbed her desk with both hands and muttered, “It won’t be good if he’s busy and you disturb him. Or perhaps he didn’t care about being stepped on but your call only reminded him about it and he decided to pursue the matter?”
Lin Qingqian:
It was really a headache to have an idol-chasing best friend!
Su Ying walked in with coffee. When she saw Suisui lying on the table listlessly, she was a little curious. “Sister Qingqian, what’s wrong with Suisui?”
Lin Qingqian took the coffee she handed over and glanced at Suisui. “Don’t worry about her. Girls who chase after celebrities will always have a few days like this.”
“Oh.” Su Ying thought of something and said, “By the way, Sister Qingqian, today is the day Contemporary Fashion is released. In the end, they openly criticized us in the magazine. Now, everyone is talking about this on the Internet.”
“Is that so?” Lin Qingqian raised her eyebrows slightly. She put down the cup, grabbed the mouse, and opened the computer version of Weibo. The top trending topic was #Contemporary Fashion.
The reason was that an editor with the magazine Contemporary Fashion had mocked that the so-called Chinese style wouldn’t last more than a year before it gets forgotten by everyone.
Anyone would know that he was criticizing Shi Guang Studio and Lin Qingqian.
Suisui stuck her head over to take a look and said, “Is there something wrong with Contemporary Fashion? We have no grievances with them. Why are they dissing us?
“It can’t be considered that there’s no enmity between us.” Lin Qingqian was very calm, not surprised at all.
Su Ying and Suisui looked at her in unison, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Lin Qingqian said calmly, “We’re working very well with Z Magazine, giving them a chance to compete with them. How can they not hate us?”
Suisui snorted. “Such a sore loser!”
Now that the competition between Z Magazine and Contemporary Fashion was getting more and more intense, both sides couldn’t give in. Lin Qingqian was the stylist of Z Magazine, so she naturally became the target of the other party’s attack.
“Do you need to deal with it?” Su Ying asked.
Lin Qingqian shook her head. “We won’t be able to find any evidence against such specious words. It will be very difficult for us to deal with it even if we want to. Let’s just leave it at that for now.”
Su Ying nodded. “Then I’ll go out to work first.”
Lin Qingqian nodded, her gaze landing on Suisui next. “Aren’t you going back to work?”
Suisui pouted and left the office unwillingly.
At the thought of meeting her idol, she felt inexplicably guilty and shivered.
Lin Qingqian’s gaze landed on Weibo again, and there was a hint of coldness in her long and curled eyes.
Lan City was caught off guard by the autumn sun.
The annual charity banquet of Z Magazine was being held as usual.
This banquet was for charity. Celebrities in the industry and top talents would be invited and the donations would be used for charity.
Shi Guang Studio was also on the invitation list this year.
Lin Qingqian wanted to attend this charity banquet, both publicly and privately. However, she had already informed Vin in advance that she would not be walking the red carpet.
Vin knew that she had always kept a low profile, so she did not force her.
On the day of the charity banquet, Lin Qingqian didn’t wear a gown. Instead, she wore a dark red professional suit and a pair of red diamond earrings.
She was not attending this banquet as a designer, but as the President of Shi Guang Studio, and thus she was dressed professionally.
Han Liubai was also on the list of invitees. He was wearing his usual white suit, and his entire temperament was clean and cold, like the winter snow.
The two of them didn’t walk down the red carpet. Instead, they sat down at their table directly.
There were not many people in the venue. It looked empty, and unknown music floated in the speakers.
Han Liubai tilted his head to look at her exquisite face. “Looks like the scene tonight is very big.”
“Vin is very passionate about doing charity. I heard that they pulled in a very generous sponsor this time,” Lin Qingqian explained softly.
Celebrities who had walked the red carpet came in one after another.
Vin was very considerate and got someone to arrange for Li Wenwen, Ren Guangxi, Lu Qinshang, Luo Tianxue, and the others to sit at Lin Qingqian’s table.
When Lu Qinshang saw Han Liubai, he felt like he had seen the green hat on Jiang Yanshen’s head and couldn’t help but click his tongue.
Lin Qingqian looked at him disdainfully, as if warning him not to spout nonsense.
Lu Qinshang snorted and looked elsewhere. There was no need for him to spout nonsense.
Luo Tianxue couldn’t bear to see him so smug. “Do you only know how to snort like a pig?
Not to be outdone, Lu Qinshang retaliated. “Oh! How did you know that I have the same horoscope as you?”
“Get lost!” Luo Tianxue glanced at him. “Who has the same horoscope as you?”
Lu Qinshang teased, “I don’t know how to do it. Why don’t you demonstrate how a human vase looks like to me?”
Human vase was a nickname given to Luo Tianxue by her anti-fans when she first debuted.
Luo Tianxue glared at him like a knife, and the cup of drink in her hand was about to spill on his face.
Lu Qinshang did not forget to add fuel to the fire. “Bear with it. Otherwise, if the media captures it, you can forget about your sweet little princess image. Anyway, my image has already collapsed, so I won’t care.”
He was so thick-skinned that he had already given up.
“Little Six Lu, enough is enough.” Lin Qingqian couldn’t help but say, afraid that Luo Tianxue would flip the table.
Luo Tianxue’s eyes lit up when he heard the name ‘Little Six Lu’. “Little Six? Hahaha… Are you a eunuch? Little Six…”
Lu Qinshang:
Six your grandpa!!!
Jiang Yanshen, this scheming brother!!
Seeing that Lu Qinshang was defeated, Lin Qingqian finally felt that things could calm down for a while.
Ren Guangxi and Li Wenwen were not talkative people. When the people at the
table chatted, they would say one sentence after another. They didn’t fight or snatch. They weren’t in the limelight but not to the point that they didn’t have a presence.
The red carpet walk outside was finally over. The lights in the venue slowly dimmed, leaving only the lights on the stage.
Then, the emcee introduced Vin to the stage to give a speech.
The table was still some distance away from the stage, so Lin Qingqian simply looked at the big screen.
The event location was a little noisy, so she didn’t notice a black shadow moving beside her in the darkness.
When his large palm landed on her svelte suit, she was about to jump when the familiar ebony agarwood scent swept over her.
“Why are you here?” Lin Qingqian turned her head and looked at him with unconcealable joy in her eyes.
Jiang Yanshen caught the joy in her eyes and knew that he hadn’t come here for nothing.
“Tianyue Group is also invited, so I came to pick you up.”
Normally, he wouldn’t participate in such an event. Who asked her to be here? He wanted to see her, so he came.
Lin Qingqian’s eyes were shining with starlight. Her red lips curled into a smile, and her slender fingers held his warm palm.
Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips curled up slightly as he looked at her with a smile.
The originally quiet venue suddenly let out a “wow”. There were all kinds of exclamations and sighs.
Only then did Lin Qingqian realize that the cameras at the scene were facing them and the two of them were projected onto the big screen.
Her face immediately flushed red, but she still pretended to be calm. Her bright eyes then turned to glare at Vin on the stage.
However, Vin was innocent. She merely thanked Lin Qingqian during the speech, so the camera naturally had to focus on Lin Qingqian.
Who would have thought that when Jiang Yanshen arrived, the two of them would show off their affection!
Jiang Yanshen’s handsome and deep facial features restrained his emotions. His eyes were as calm as a mirror without any wind or waves, and his large palm held Lin Qingqian’s small hand tightly.
He did not avoid the camera and try to prevent gossip.
Han Liubai looked at their clasped hands and couldn’t help but lower his head and cough softly.
Lin Qingqian immediately turned to look at him. “Xiao Bai, are you alright?”
Han Liubai looked up at her with a faint smile on his pale face. “I’m fine.”
Lin Qingqian pulled her hand out of Jiang Yanshen’s palm and picked up the mineral water bottle on the table. She unscrewed it and handed it to him.
“Drink some water.”
“Thank you.” Han Liubai smiled and took the mineral water bottle.
Jiang Yanshen’s eyes, which were as dark as the abyss, seemed to be constantly blowing out wind, cold and terrifying..
