Chapter 528: Valentine's Day Gifts
Thinking about it, Shangguan Wanbai suddenly came back to her senses, and she shook her head, trying to drive away all these memories in her mind.
Li Zi'an, a man who seems to be everywhere, although she has left him, he always comes to her mind inadvertently.
"When the time comes, I book a restaurant in advance, what do you want to eat? Chinese or Western? Jian Maoxun thoughtfully asked Shangguan Wanbai's opinion.
"Since we celebrate Western festivals, let's eat Western food." Shangguan Wanbai said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Jian Maoxun looked at the little woman in front of him, and his bad mood changed a lot.
No matter how Li Zi'an suppresses him, Shangguan Wanbai is now his fiancΓ©e and will not change, which is enough to hit Li Zi'an's pride.
"I'm out to work first, you can call me when you need coffee." Shangguan Wanbai walked out of the office.
After getting off work in the evening, after Jian Maoxun sent Shangguan Wanbai home, he contacted Lin Man by phone: "Are you in the studio tomorrow?" I'll go look for you. β
"I'm here most of the time, come here!" Lin Man was very happy when he heard that Jian Maoxun was coming, and his voice was a lot more lively.
Then, Lin Man asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly want to find me?" You busy man don't usually see each other. β
After Jian Maoxun and Shangguan Wanbai got engaged, they deliberately maintained an estranged and polite relationship with Lin Man, and basically did not take the initiative to contact her.
"Next week is Valentine's Day, and I want to pick out a necklace for Wanbai myself." Jian Maoxun mentioned Shangguan Wanbai and immediately laughed softly.
Hearing this doting tone, Lin Man couldn't help but feel a little jealous, she bit her lip lightly, and reluctantly smiled in agreement.
"That's right, I always have to give a special gift on Valentine's Day, and I'll recommend you a few beautiful necklaces when you come over tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you very much." Jian Maoxun hung up the phone with satisfaction.
The next day, Jian Maoxun personally went to Lin Man's studio, and he didn't tell Shangguan Wanbai about buying gifts, and planned to surprise her.
"Maoxun, I haven't seen you for many days." As soon as Lin Man saw Jian Maoxun appear at the door, he immediately threw down the design drawings in his hand to greet him.
"Long time no see, Lin Man, Lu Sheng." Jian Maoxun also greeted Lu Sheng, who was staring at them not far away.
"Let's go, go up to the second floor to talk, I've recently designed a lot of new models, you can look at the drawings and pick them slowly."
Lin Man led Jian Maoxun to the second floor, where she used to draw designs and place materials, which she usually used herself, and Lu Sheng was responsible for entertaining guests on the first floor.
She led Jian Maoxun to the second floor, asked him to sit on the sofa and wait, and turned around to get the design booklet.
"Maoxun, what do you want? Can you tell me a little bit about it, for example, is it concise, or is it gorgeous? What are the requirements for patterns? β
Lin Man sat next to Jian Maoxun with a booklet and opened the booklet for Jian Maoxun to see.
Jian Maoxun thought for a while, and then said: "Concise and romantic, Wanbai doesn't like things that are too fancy." β
He looked through the booklet for a while, and saw that there was a crystal necklace in the shape of a heart, which was very satisfying.
The surface of the crystal love necklace is cut with many edges and corners, which can refract colorful light in the sun, simple and dreamy.
"This is good, it is very much in line with Wanbai's temperament." Jian Maoxun pointed to the picture and said to Lin Man.
"The necklace is called 'Cupid's Heart,' which means blessed by the goddess of love, and although the material is crystal, it has a diamond-cut treatment, which makes it shine."
After Lin Man finished introducing, he took out a red velvet box from the side, opened the box, and there was a delicate and exquisite love necklace lying inside.
"This is something I designed only in the past few days, and I have only made one so far, which is a unique product." Whenever Lin Man talks about his professional field, he is full of confidence.
"I want to buy this necklace, can I?" Jian Maoxun asked very gentlemanly in advance.
Because only one necklace has been made so far, if Lin Man is unwilling, Jian Maoxun will not be able to win people's love.
"Of course, I have the design artwork in hand, and I can do it later." Lin Man carefully handed the red velvet box in his hand to Jian Maoxun.
She thought for a moment, then smiled slyly: "I haven't asked a model to try it on since I made it, I don't know if the length is appropriate, and how it works, Maoxun, you can wear it on me first to try the effect." β
Jian Maoxun felt that it made sense when he heard it, if he bought it back with the wrong length, it would be troublesome, this was the Valentine's Day gift he wanted to give to Shangguan Wanbai.
"Okay, lean over a bit, I'll put it on for you."
Lin Man obediently walked up to Jian Maoxun and acted as a model for him, Jian Maoxun took out the crystal necklace from the red velvet box, and carefully wrapped his slender fingers around Lin Man's chest.
Neither of them spoke, Jian Maoxun just focused on helping Lin Man buckle the necklace, and Lin Man felt the sound of breathing close behind him, and couldn't help but beat his heart faster.
Why does such a good man belong to Shangguan Wanbai, but not her?
"Put it on, Lin Man, you turn around and show me." After Jian Maoxun helped Lin Man put the necklace on, he pulled the distance away a little, and then said with a smile.
Lin Man turned around, pulled his beautiful curly hair behind his shoulders, and asked shyly, "What's the matter, is it good-looking?" β
Her neck is snow-white and delicate, and with that crystal necklace, it looks noble and sweet, Jian Maoxun couldn't help but look at it a few more times for a while, and her eyes were full of appreciation.
"It's beautiful!" He smiled and admired, and then added, "Wanbai's skin is also very white, and it must look good in this necklace." β
Originally, Lin Man was very happy to hear the praise and smile, but when he heard the smile behind him, he froze, and Jian Maoxun did not leave Shangguan Wanbai for three sentences, which made Lin Man very uncomfortable.
"Mao Xun, I don't have any friends in China, can you spare an hour to have a meal with me on Valentine's Day?" Lin Man lowered his eyes, looking lonely and pitiful.
She didn't want to spend Valentine's Day alone, although Lu Sheng asked her in advance, but she refused, she just wanted to be alone with Jian Maoxun for a while, even if it was just as a friend.
"I'm sorry, I already promised Wanbai that day that I would give her all the day's time, Lin Man might as well have dinner with Lu Sheng."
Jian Maoxun smiled apologetically and refused Lin Man's invitation without thinking.
Being rejected so directly, Lin Man's self-esteem was damaged, and her face suddenly became a little bad, and she barely squeezed out a smile.
"Forget it, I'll stay at home and rest that day, you can take this necklace, Wanbai will definitely like it."
Lin Man was disheartened and became silent.
"Then thank you, I'll go to the first floor to pay."
Jian Maoxun took the necklace off Lin Man's neck, put it back in the red velvet box, and then went down to the first floor alone.
