Chapter 18 The Man Who Knows Him Best
Cheng Kele looked at her excitedly: "Go, go, go, you've never really shown up!" It's rare to have such a public occasion, and let them see the demeanor of the real young artist Angel! โ
Xia Taozhi crossed his knees and hesitated for a few seconds: "I...... Should I go? โ
"Didn't the invitation get yours? Of course you have to go! It's an affirmation of you. โ
Cheng Kele was more anxious than herself, "If you don't go, I'll turn my face with you!" โ
She couldn't help laughing: "But I don't have a piece of clothing that I can handle, such an occasion must require formal wear, I don't want to and am reluctant to buy that kind of dress." โ
"Fool, artist, do you understand?"
Cheng Kele stretched out his finger and lightly tapped her forehead, "Maverick, distinctive personal style is your label, do you need to be the same as those people?" Besides, how many international big names are vying for your design now, that is, you cherish your wings too much, and you only come out with a design once a year, otherwise you would have made a lot of money by now. โ
Xia Taozhi sighed lightly, and her dark eyes narrowed slightly.
After hesitating for a while, she finally made up her mind: "Okay, I'll take a look." โ
"That's right!"
This fashion salon needs to verify your identity in advance, Xia Taozhi replied to the email and made an appointment.
An hour later, she arrived at the hotel.
The fashion salon is held in the lobby on the seventh floor of this six-star hotel.
I looked at my plaid shirt and jeans, although they were simple, they were modified by her in a special place, and they looked different.
Taking a deep breath, she stepped in.
At this time, the seventh floor was busy.
The preparation of the fashion salon is impossible to stop throughout the hotel.
"Did you hear that? That Angel will come too. โ
"Really? I've seen her work internationally, and I loved her designs at last year's Paris Fashion Week. โ
"Hmph, what's so good about Angel? likes to hide her head and show her tail, and deliberately let the media chase after her, so far we don't even know if she is a man or a woman. โ
"It's all called Angel, it should be a woman."
"I still like Miss Snow Dye, she has a sweet voice and beautiful works."
"It's a pity, Yuzen has lost to Angel twice in a row, counting this time, it's three times, it's too bad."
Downstairs in the hall, Xia Taozhi was waiting for the elevator.
Suddenly a group of people came behind him.
"Get out of the way and let Miss Bai pass first."
The bodyguard at the head had an arrogant attitude and pushed everyone away at once.
The woman who was surrounded in the middle was wearing a white suit, and when she passed by Xia Taozhi, she left a faint smell of perfume. Xia Taozhi's eyebrows moved, and her gaze fell on the folder in her hand without a trace.
It was a custom-made brand, and the price was expensive, which she had only seen in high-end design conferences.
Stick it at the top of the folder.
There is a name written on it - Yuki-dye.
The woman walked into the elevator and the door closed.
Xia Taozhi's heart trembled, and after the elevator went up, he pressed the button again.
"What a coincidence......" she murmured.
She was thinking about something else, and she didn't notice that Han Xiao also came in from the other side of the hotel gate and walked directly into the VIP elevator.
Private lounge on the 7th floor.
Han Xiao knocked on the door.
The door opened, and a face with delicate makeup appeared in front of him.
Han Xiao's eyes moved slightly.
"I thought it was ...... You're not coming. She bit her lower lip, a little squeamish.
Han Xiao walked into the lounge: "What are you looking for me?" โ
"Why are you pretending to be so cold? I know you still have me in your heart, or elseโyou wouldn't have heard the news of my injuries so urgently. โ
The woman walked up to him and tapped her fingers on the hem of his robe like elves.
"Ah Xiao, let's make peace. A few years ago, it was my fault, and I shouldn't have given up our relationship so easily. But now that I'm back, we can continue to lead. โ
The closer she spoke, the closer she almost touched his lips.
In the flash of light, Han Xiao inexplicably remembered the breath that belonged to another woman.
His titular wife.
The woman smelled exceptionally clean and sweet.
It's very different from snow.
His brow furrowed slightly! Why did you think of Xia Taozhi again, what a ghost.
The woman couldn't go any further, Han Xiao firmly controlled her arms and pulled the distance away: "Don't think about it, Miss Bai Xue, I'm just afraid that you will die in the hotel I invested, in case it affects my business, won't I lose a lot?" โ
Bai Xue's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe that these words came out of Han Xiao's mouth just now.
"Ah Xiao ......"
"If nothing else, then goodbye."
He turned to leave, but Bai Xue took the first step and grabbed his arm tightly: "You really have no feelings for me?" Not a little bit left? โ
The man looked back, and the light in his eyes was bottomless.
"I'm married, Miss Bai."
In just seven words, Bai Xue was heartbroken.
"How is that possible! When did you get married, IโWhy don't I know? Your Han family marries a daughter-in-law, how can there be no movement, you lie to me......"
"You have the means, you can check it, and you can't fake it when you register your marriage."
Hearing this, her eyes darkened, and tears fell from her eyes.
She slowly let go of her hand, trying to squeeze out a wry smile, with a look of pity for me: "I'm sorry, I was abrupt, I thought you would wait for me...... I haven't wished you a happy wedding yet, it's because I'm late, and I shouldn't have left you in the first place. Now seeing you happy, I ...... I was content. โ
Bai Xue raised her face and smiled, and at the same time, two lines of tears slowly slipped down.
"I'm losing badly...... There is no place for me in the art world, I shouldn't have come back, don't worry, I'll leave today. โ
She forced a smile and stretched out her arms, "One last hug, in the name of a friend." โ
Seeing that Han Xiao didn't move, she said again, "After all, we have known each other for so many years, don't we have any affection?" Ah Xiao, I always remember you saying that I am just like your life. In the same way, in my heart, you are the same, even if we can't be lovers now, this will not change. โ
Han Xiao stepped forward and hugged her gently.
Bai Xue took the first step to let go of her embrace and forced a smile.
"Well, now I have no regrets. Goodbye...... I can face all this on my own, it's my choice, I can't blame anyone. Bai Xue raised her face, and the tears on her face were touching.
Han Xiao's heart softened: "Is it because of the previous art exhibition?" You...... Didn't win the Gold Award. โ
"Where is there no darkness, I don't have your protection, I can only rely on my own rampage, in fact, these years have not been good. It's just that I didn't expect that everything I worked hard for was snatched away by despicable means, and I ...... How can you swallow this breath? But now it seems that losing these things is nothing compared to losing you. โ
Bai Xue was still smiling, but this smile was a lot bitter.
"Is that Angel?"
"Hmmm......"
"Got it." Han Xiao raised his leg and left, "The gold award will be returned to you." โ
The sound of the door closing sounded, and Bai Xue's eyes gradually cooled.
She quickly wiped the tears from her face, and her delicate face was full of joy.
In the corner on the other side of the lounge, a door was opened, and Huo Qing walked out.
"Will he help you?" Huo Qing was a little unsure.
"You still don't know Han Xiao." Bai Xue said coldly, "I've been with him for so many years, and I don't know what kind of person he is." He'll help me. โ
As she spoke, she evoked a sneer, "But he's married, is this true?" โ
Huo Qing hesitated for a few seconds and nodded: "Yes." โ
The corners of Bai Xue's upturned mouth slowly sank: "Is it......"
Outside the hall door, Xia Taozhi found the staff to verify her identity, she reported the verification code of the invitation to the other party, and waited nervously.
In less than a minute, the staff asked in surprise, "Are you Angel?" โ
"Yes."
But the smile on this person's face was not fully revealed, and the next second he stared at the computer for a while, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, Miss Angel, you don't meet the invitation criteria of the fashion salon and can't participate in this event." โ
