When Bai Yaxuan suspended the weekly meeting and rushed to the agreed place as quickly as possible, through the window glass of the water bar, she saw the familiar figure in the most corner of the room at a glance.

She pushed the door in, refused the waiter's path and walked straight towards Su Xiaoxiao's location.

A black duckbill hat covers half of her face, a beige leather long trench coat with a simple white shirt and casual trousers underneath, and slender legs naturally stretch under the table, simple and quiet.

It wasn't until Bai Yaxuan pulled out a chair and sat down that she found that Su Xiaoxiao was not in a daze, but fell asleep with her hands on her cheeks.

"Tiny? Little? Bai Yaxuan leaned forward and whispered two words.

Because it was just a light sleep, Su Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes after taking a breath, flashed her eyelashes and looked at the source of the sound, without the surprise and joy of reuniting after a long absence, but replied weakly as if they had just met yesterday: "You are here." ”

When she raised her head and sat up straight, Bai Yaxuan noticed that her face was a little abnormal, so she reached out without hesitation to touch her forehead, and at the same time asked in a worried tone, "Are you sick?" Why is your face so red? ”

Su Xiaoxiao shrank back and leaned back in the chair, took another deep breath and hooked the corners of her mouth shallowly, "It's okay, I haven't seen Yaxuan for a long time." ”

She didn't wear makeup this time, because she didn't plan to tell Bai Yaxuan about pretending to be Ling Yue's identity.

The less one knows, the less one cares.

Distracted by her words, Bai Yaxuan withdrew her arm and said with some disgust: "Where have you been?" Don't say a word when you leave, you will leave for a year as soon as you leave, you are also ruthless enough. ”

Su Xiaoxiao chuckled, "It's been nearly ten months, less than a year, I'm sorry for worrying you." ”

In the face of the sudden apology, Bai Yaxuan was a little relieved, but seeing that she didn't seem to be in good spirits, she didn't change much, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to come back." You are not in Mr. Qin, it is like losing your soul, but you haven't seen him look for you, are you really separated? ”

"Nope." Su Xiaoxiao responded lightly, and then changed the topic, "Yaxuan, I asked you to come out this time to ask for your help." ”

"What's the matter?"

Su Xiaoxiao turned sideways and picked up a bag from the ground, took out the eighteen drawings from it and handed them to Bai Yaxuan, "You can take a look at this first." ”

"First draft of a costume design?"

"Well, you help me find one or two reliable people to work on these first drafts for a week. I'll get back to you in a week, and you'll show me the finished manuscript. ”

"Tiny, what do you want to do?" Looking at those pictures, Bai Yaxuan felt inexplicably uneasy in her heart.

"Yaxuan, I can only ask you for this matter, and I can only rest assured if I leave it to you. You know the people in the studio well, you know who is good at fashion design, and you can trust them. ”

"Xiaoxiao, you tell me honestly, what are you planning, right?" The more Bai Yaxuan thought about it, the more wrong it became, and after pushing the drawing paper back to Su Xiaoxiao, she asked in a deep voice: "When did you come back?" Does Mr. Qin know? Although these first drafts were written by you, they were definitely not designed by you, and I will not help you if you don't tell me your true purpose. ”

From Su Xiaoxiao's eyes, Bai Yaxuan saw a firmness in the face of death, plus those paintings, others may not know, but Su Xiaoxiao's style is clear to her, not to mention that clothing design is not her strong point at all, and it is impossible for her to draw things she doesn't like in her kind of character.

Facing Bai Yaxuan's questioning, Su Xiaoxiao brushed her thoughts, leaned forward slightly, and then told her what she planned to do without reservation.

Dozens of minutes later, Bai Yaxuan put the first draft into another folder. Because she hadn't fully digested what she had just learned, she still had worry on her face at the moment.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and patted the back of her hand: "Please, don't worry, I won't affect the studio, after all, that's also my hard work, if it really fails, I will take all the responsibility alone." ”

"Xiaoxiao, if something goes wrong, all your previous efforts will be in vain, and you will be expelled from the design circle."

"It's okay, are you still afraid that I won't be able to support myself without skills, don't forget that I still have the Su family behind me, and I can't starve to death."

Looking at her indifferent smile, Bai Yaxuan's heart couldn't help but feel sour. In order to drag He Liannan off the top, she chose a path that was extremely unfavorable to herself, and if she was not careful, she would be ruined.

But Bai Yaxuan knew that she couldn't persuade and was not qualified to persuade her. That hatred is not shared, even herself, an outsider, wants to kill He Liannan as soon as possible, let alone her.

In the end, Bai Yaxuan only swore and promised: "Don't worry, even if you don't sleep all night, I will give you the final draft in a week." ”

"Yaxuan, thank you." Nearly an hour passed, Su Xiaoxiao's face turned even redder, but her lips were unusually pale, as if she was very sick, and even her voice gradually became weak.

Bai Yaxuan, who always felt that something was wrong with her, suddenly got up and pressed her forehead with her eyes and hands. The hot temperature through her skin startled her, and without thinking too much, she touched the back of her neck and palms.

"Why is it burning so badly, Xiaoxiao, what else are you hiding from me?" As she spoke, Bai Yaxuan pushed away the chair with her bag on her back, walked to her side and wanted to drag her up, "Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital." ”

The rapid hot breath exhaled on Bai Yaxuan's arm, burning into her heart through her clothes.

However, Su Xiaoxiao just patted her hand and whispered comfortingly: "I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night." You go back first, I'll sit down for a while, and then someone will come to pick me up, don't worry. ”

"No, I'll wait here with you, what if something happens to you?" While speaking, Bai Yaxuan suddenly thought of Qin Yitian, and immediately took out her mobile phone and prepared to call him.

Sensing her intentions, Su Xiaoxiao snatched the phone hard, "Only you know about my return, you can't betray me." ”

"But Mr. Qin ......"

"No, but!" The woman's eyes were unwavering, and she looked directly at Bai Yaxuan, "If he knew, I wouldn't be able to do anything." ”

"Xiaoxiao, why should you? It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, I believe that even if it doesn't work now, Mr. Qin must have his own plan, and he definitely doesn't want you to gamble with yourself. ”

"I believe him, but I can't wait, and besides, he's already had a lot to bear, and I can't throw anything at him. So, you're left to me. ”

Bai Yaxuan's wrist was scratched a little painfully, and the fiery temperature and stubborn attitude of the woman in front of her made her finally compromise.

When she returned to the hotel that day, Ling Yue had a high fever for two days and two nights, and it was not until Ling Yishan asked her men to bang on the door that she was sent to the hospital.

After swimming with He Liannan, she already had a little cold, plus she rushed eighteen drawings all night from memory, and her body stayed up for more than ten hours in a row when she was weak, and no one could stand it.

After an infusion, an injection and a medicine, Ling Yue was basically fine after three days in the hospital.

During the hospitalization, He Liannan learned about her situation from Ling Yishan, and took time to visit the hospital.

After being discharged from the hospital, Ling Yue learned that she had been rumored to be He Liannan's fiancée outside, and she only smiled helplessly, not clarifying or admitting it.

The same is true for He Liannan.

The day after she was discharged from the hospital, it happened to be the day she made an appointment with Bai Yaxuan, and the second time they met, Su Xiaoxiao still made an appointment with Bai Yaxuan in that water bar. The efficiency of the studio is really high, and in just one week, the result was beyond Su Xiaoxiao's expectations: in addition to perfectly retaining the details of the first draft, the parts filled in are also outstanding.

So, after the two discussed some of the things that needed to be revised, Su Xiaoxiao sent Bai Yaxuan a number, asked her to contact the people above, and then gave her the final draft.

Because she already knew the whole plan, Bai Yaxuan didn't ask for details, and was only responsible for handing over the final work according to Su Xiaoxiao's request, and then just waited.

After the matter was completed, Su Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, and her mood was inexplicably much better.

She rejected all invitations and the originally scheduled itinerary, and gave herself a few days off to nest in the hotel, which is called "recuperation".

After another week, He Liannan actually knocked on the door of the hotel directly.

At that time, Ling Yue was still asleep, and when she touched the mobile phone at the bedside and pressed to answer, the familiar male voice drilled into her mind, she immediately woke up.

He Liannan asked, "Miss Ling, I'm Liannan, are you in the hotel?" ”

Ling Yue bounced suddenly, shook her head vigorously with a frown, and cleared her throat in a low voice before speaking: "Mr. He, what are you looking for me?" ”

"I'm at the door of your room, if it's convenient for Miss Ling, can you let me in and talk?"

The door? Ling Yue turned her head to look at the closed bedroom door, and hesitated for two seconds before answering, "Yes, but Mr. He has to wait a little longer, I just woke up." ”

There was obviously a stunned moment, and then He Liannan's gentle voice came again, this time with a smile, "It turns out that I woke you up, it's okay, I'm waiting at the door, it's a punishment for not knowing the times." ”

"Mr. He is really joking, then let's do this first, I'll clean it up and wronged Mr. He."

Twenty minutes later, He Liannan stepped into the room as he wished. He slipped one hand into his coat pocket, looked around, and sat down on the side of the couch.

Ling Yue brought a cup of warm water from the kitchen and put it in front of him, and said with a soft smile: "I don't know what happened when Mr. He came to the door in person?" ”

He Liannan raised his eyes, his smile was modest and gentle, "I haven't seen Miss Ling for a few days, so I'll take a look if I miss it." ”

"Then I'm going to take it seriously." Ling Yue smiled charmingly, propped her elbows on her knees, and leaned forward with her chin propped up.

The woman in front of her was beautiful and radiant, looking at her with her long eyelashes. He Liannan wanted to see some clues from it, but found that her smile was really just similar to Su Xiaoxiao.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, He Liannan took the lead in looking away, and said slightly embarrassedly: "There is a charity party in the evening, I don't know if I have the honor to invite Miss Ling to be my dance partner." ”

"So that's the real purpose." Ling Yue nodded as if she suddenly realized, hesitated for a moment in pretended thinking, and then happily responded: "I don't have anything to do at night, so I'll go play with Mr. He." ”

"Then I look forward to having a pleasant evening with Miss Ling." After speaking, He Liannan put down the cup and stood up, pulled the placket of his coat and said with a smile: "Then I will pick you up again in the afternoon." ”

"Okay." Ling Yue followed and got up and sent He Liannan to the door, only to close the door and return to the house until he disappeared around the corner.

The car stopped in front of the hotel gate, and He Liannan put down a smile on his face after getting into the car, and rarely ordered Lin Yuan, the co-pilot, seriously: "Are you ready for the night?" ”

"Ready, Mr. He, rest assured, our people will sneak into the dance party and wait for your orders."

Hearing this, the corners of He Liannan's lips hooked up again: Ling Yue? Su Xiaoxiao? You'll know who you really are at night.
