Chapter 160 My husband is waiting for me at home.

Halfway through the banquet, Luo Shu immediately recognized Fang Yuan in the crowd.

Fang Yuan is a well-known designer who returned from abroad last week. She ranks second on the international rankings, while she ranks third.

The two had met once abroad.

I came here tonight mainly to see him. He has some experience in designing military uniforms, and I'd like to ask him for some pointers.

This task was originally to be done by Ye Fou. Fang Yuan was an old man in his fifties. Although he was experienced, he was frivolous, unrestrained, and overly familiar with others.

Luo Shu didn't like this person, but his design skills were indeed outstanding.

She chatted briefly with some designers around her before deciding to go find him.

Meanwhile, Fang Yuan was having a lively conversation with the Mu family.

“Mrs. Yu.” Jin Gubei appeared here at some point.

"Minister Jin, what brings you here?" Luo Shu asked, somewhat surprised.

Recently, I've frequently seen Jin Gubei visiting Ye Fou's studio to inspect their work.

Jin Gubei smiled and said, "I came with Sister Xu."

Sister Xu was the chief designer who participated in the last military uniform design project. She happened to retire this year, otherwise this project wouldn't have been given to younger designers like Luo Shu and Ye Fou.

Sister Xu also went to the studio, but Luo Shu wasn't there, so they didn't run into each other.

After Jin Gubei finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Yu Yu, who was standing next to her.

"Teacher Yu," he greeted.

"Minister Jin." Yu Yu forced a smile, then turned his gaze in another direction.

She's in a really bad mood right now and doesn't want to have any conversations with anyone.

Jin Gubei wisely refrained from bringing up the topic again.

Luo Shu smiled, and the two clinked their glasses.

"The lady next to Manager Mu is Sister Xu," Jin Gubei introduced.

Sister Xu appeared beside Mu Bu at some point.

Luo Shu nodded. She had seen Sister Xu in magazines, but had never met her in person. It was really lucky to meet her today.

"Sister Xu likes you very much," he said.

"Huh? You like it?" Luo Shu was a little surprised, as she and Sister Xu didn't really know each other.

I only often heard Ye Fou and Professor Chen mention it.

Just as they were chatting, Teacher Xu and Fang Yuan looked over in their direction.

Mu Bu's gaze naturally followed.

She glared at him, feeling rather uncomfortable.

Sister Xu smiled and said to Mu Long, "I'm sorry, I can't keep you company tonight. I have some things to do. Let's meet again next time?"

Mu Long glanced at Luo Shu not far away, who was chatting enthusiastically with Jin Gu Bei.

He chuckled awkwardly, "Okay."

Fang Yuan, standing to the side, chimed in, "I won't disturb your enjoyment any longer."

Mu Bu's smile faded slightly.

Sister Xu and Fang Yuan were introduced to Mu Long today, and they had only chatted for less than five minutes before they were about to leave.

I tried to ask them for guidance as teachers, but they all politely declined.

Mu Long and Mu Bu could hardly hide their embarrassment, yet they had no choice but to force a smile.

Mu Bu learned things very quickly from a young age, mastering everything from music and chess to calligraphy and painting, but he repeatedly encountered obstacles in fashion design.

Seeing that Sister Xu and Fang Yuan were both walking in the direction of Luo Shu and Jin Gubei.

Mu Bu clenched his fists, his right hand holding the wine glass, his fingertips turning white, and his smile froze on his face.

What is Luo Shu's identity that so many people would take the initiative to talk to her?

Mu Bu didn't believe it, and Mu Long was also very surprised.

They all felt that it was someone they had talked to in the past, not Luo Shu.

"Teacher Luo, Teacher Yu," Sister Xu spoke first, interrupting Jin Gubei and Luo Shu's conversation.

Luo Shu and Yu Yu's gazes immediately turned in one direction.

"Sister Xu! Teacher Fang!" the two greeted each other in unison.

The group shook hands with each other.

Sister Xu and Fang Yuan have been classmates for over ten years, so they are naturally familiar with each other.

"I didn't run into you the last few times I visited Xiao Ye's studio. It's so nice to finally meet you in person!" Sister Xu said with a smile, taking Luo Shu's hand and looking very fond of it.

So, Xu Jie's visit to the studio was just a side trip; her real purpose was to see her.

Luo Shu was flattered and overwhelmed.

"It is our honor that Sister Xu could come to the site to provide guidance."

“That’s not what I was after in the past,” Sister Xu said with a kind smile.

Yu Yu, who was standing to the side, seemed to have heard something different. She smiled and tugged at Luo Shu's skirt.

Luo Shu seemed to sense the subtlety in those words as well.

"I have something to do, I'll go first. Can you manage on your own?" Yu Yu seemed to have found an excuse to leave.

Luo Shu was somewhat dazed; at this moment, she didn't want Yu Yu to leave.

Everyone's heard that Sister Xu has a 25-year-old son who graduated from Peking University and has been looking for a rich girl, but none of them have caught Sister Xu's eye.

Yu left at this time, he must have heard some rumors.

"You've gone too far!" Luo Shu said, but thinking that she might also be looking for an opportunity to leave and find Shen Yan, she lowered her voice.

Before Yu Yu could say anything more, Jin Gubei spoke up.

"Teacher Yu, let me see you off."

Without a second thought, Yu Yu said, "Okay."

Luo Shu wanted to say something, but Sister Xu stopped her.

"Are they together? They really are a perfect match."

Upon hearing what Sister Xu said, Luo Shu noticed that Jin Gubei's gaze towards Yu Yu seemed different.

Oh no, is Shenyan's base about to be raided?

"Teacher Luo," Sister Xu called out, bringing Luo Shu back to her senses.

"Teacher Xu, please speak." Luo Shu was not calm, but she could not refuse.

"Shall I introduce you to someone?"

“…Okay.” Luo Shu was somewhat reluctant.

As soon as she finished speaking, Sister Xu led Luo Shu into the church.

Sure enough, the person Sister Xu asked to meet was her son.

“This is my son, Guan Qi,” Sister Xu introduced to Luo Shu, then said to Guan Qi, “This is Teacher Luo, the fashion designer I mentioned to you.”

"Hello."

"Hello."

The two nodded to each other.

Guan Qi was handsome and refined, dressed in casual sportswear, with bangs in his hair – a standard campus heartthrob.

Luo Shu wanted to say something, but she noticed that Sister Xu's hand had somehow linked with Fang Yuan's arm.

Sister Xu's husband passed away two years ago, and Fang Yuan only returned to China last week. They attended the event together today. It turns out they were...

She paused, forgetting what she was about to say.

"Miss Luo, would you like to have a drink with me?" Guan Qi stared intently at the woman in front of him.

Clearly, Guan Qi had taken a liking to Luo Shu; his eyes were glued to her.

Today, Luo Shu is wearing a light green square-neck long-sleeved dress with a U-shaped open back, showing off her perfect waistline. Which man wouldn't be tempted?

Just as Luo Shu was about to refuse, Sister Xu said, "Go ahead, we have other things to do, you two have a good chat."

After saying that, Sister Xu took Fang Yuan's hand and left.

Luo Shu initially had a good impression of Sister Xu, but now it seems that her character is really just so-so. No wonder she's with an old fox like Fang Yuan.

It's true what they say, "One is influenced by one's company."

"Miss Luo," Guan Qi called out to remind her.

"Mr. Guan, is there something you need?"

Guan Qi sensed Luo Shu's annoyance and responded with a smile: "Miss Luo, there's no need to be so nervous. We're just making friends, nothing more."

Luo Shu paused for a moment. Sister Xu still had some prestige in the industry, and she didn't want to break off relations with her.

"I'm sorry, it might not be possible tonight. My husband is waiting for me at home. Let's make friends next time."

"Sir? Miss Luo is married?" Guan Qi suddenly paused, somewhat embarrassed.

"Mr. Guan, you'll probably have to do some research before you can become friends with my wife." A familiar voice appeared behind Luo Shu.

Before she could turn around, a large, hot hand wrapped around her waist, pulling her into a possessive yet tender embrace.

Luo Shu slightly raised her eyes, looked at the man beside her, and the corners of her mouth naturally curved upwards.

"husband!"

"Hmm, wife." He smiled and gently pinched the woman's nose.
