At first, Ye Qing didn't ask Huang Fei why he came, fearing an awkward situation due to the price. However, after hearing Huang Fei's words, it seemed to have nothing to do with money, so Ye Qing didn't have so many concerns.
Huang Fei's words piqued her curiosity, and she couldn't help but ask, "What superstitious reason is that?"
"It was a dream. It felt like someone appeared to me in my dream and told me that no matter what, I had to have you design a dress for me, or I would regret it later." Huang Fei said with a smile, "After I woke up, I tried hard to remember who was talking to me in the dream, but I couldn't figure it out for a long time. But I remembered his words about having you design a dress for me very clearly. Later, I thought about it and decided that it was okay if it was a little expensive. I don't know when I'll be able to go to the Water City Film Festival again. Maybe I'll win an award this time, so I came to you again."
After Huang Fei approached Ye Qing, although she didn't seem very interested, Ye Qing later asked Xu Xiaoye about it. Not only was the movie Huang Fei starred in nominated for the main competition, but Huang Fei herself was also nominated for Best Actress.
That's really impressive.
So when Ye Qing heard Huang Fei say that, she quickly followed up with, "Don't worry, I will try my best to make you shine at the international film festival, and I wish you can win the Oscar in advance."
"Thank you in advance." Although Huang Fei had her own principles, she wasn't completely detached from worldly affairs, so she followed up on the topic, saying, "Then, could you give me a bigger discount?"
Ye Qing smiled awkwardly: "The price wasn't high to begin with, but the cost was, and you're unwilling to include our studio in your press releases, so this..."
Xi Quan never expected Huang Fei's reason to be like this; it was indeed a bit unbelievable. His gaze involuntarily swept over Ye Qing and Huang Fei.
While Ye Qing and Huang Fei were haggling over the price, Xi Quan asked, "Miss Huang, surely you can afford a dress?"
“It’s not that I can’t afford it, it’s just that my parents have always told me since I was little that external things are just material possessions, so I’ve been influenced by them to some extent. Therefore, I don’t care much about these things. If I hadn’t gone to the film festival this time, I wouldn’t have bothered with this.”
"Miss Huang's parents are very nice. I just remember seeing a report or something in some street magazine before, saying that Miss Huang's background was very difficult. I believed it at the time, but now I know that street magazines are really unreliable." Xi Quan said something tentatively in a joking manner.
Since it was a test, Xi Quan certainly wasn't just saying it and that was it. After he finished speaking, he seemed nonchalant, but he was subtly observing Huang Fei's expression.
Ye Qing didn't actually know what Xi Quan meant by those words, but because she was so familiar with Xi Quan, she could tell that he was doing it on purpose, so she became a little nervous.
Regardless of whether Huang Fei's deal will ultimately go through, Xi Quan's act of probing into someone's extremely private matters is inappropriate in itself.
However, Huang Fei didn't seem to care much about this issue. Just like when she first came to Ye Qing's studio and learned about Ye Qing's conditions, she left gracefully without much reluctance. She seemed to be a very open-minded person.
She smiled again and said, "Since street magazines exist, they provide people with plenty of topics to talk about over tea. Whether they are true or false is not important. What is important is the present moment. For example, I came to Ye Qing because of a dream, hoping that Ye Qing could design a dress for me."
Ye Qing was afraid that Xi Quan would ask any more questions, so she quickly smoothed things over: "With Miss Huang's magnanimous attitude, the golden statuette is within reach."
Although Ye Qing's words were illogical, anyone could tell that he was trying to avoid embarrassment and didn't want to continue the previous topic.
Knowing this, Xi Quan didn't stay any longer and left first.
Because Ye Qing knew nothing, she didn't take Huang Fei's words to heart.
However, Xi Quan could tell something from Zhang Sao's attitude. So, although Huang Fei's words seemed philosophical and insightful and didn't say anything important, you could still hear something if you listened carefully.
What does it mean to seize the moment? Xi Quan felt that Huang Fei knew that her current parents were not her biological parents, but as for whether she knew that Aunt Zhang was her biological mother, Xi Quan was not sure.
Huang Fei's family was Zhang Sao's previous employer. According to Yang Xiujuan, she didn't know who Huang Fei was. Xi Quan believed her. If Yang Xiujuan knew, from the perspective of wanting more money, it would obviously be better to go to Huang Fei.
However, Yang Xiujuan didn't go looking for them, and Zhang Sao was also afraid that Yang Xiujuan would go looking for them, which means that Huang Fei probably didn't know, but whether he knew or not is really hard to say.
Thinking of this, Xi Quan turned around and looked at Ye Qing's studio again.
When Ye Qing got home that evening, she started to ignore Xi Quan.
Xi Quan wanted to ask what was wrong, but he couldn't find an opportunity. Ye Qing didn't talk to him much either. It wasn't until the children were asleep that Xi Quan finally found an opportunity. He took the initiative to hold the hairdryer and waited for Ye Qing to dry her hair.
However, to everyone's surprise, Ye Qing didn't wash her hair after taking a shower.
Looking at Xi Quan standing at the bathroom door with a hairdryer, Ye Qing glanced at him indifferently: "So attentive?"
Having already noticed that Ye Qing was angry, Xi Quan was even more certain of it upon hearing her words. However, he was somewhat puzzled as to why she was angry, and asked Ye Qing with a smile, "I've always been very attentive to you."
"Heh, is that so?" Ye Qing sneered and retorted.
Xi Quan also stopped smiling and asked Ye Qing, "Did I do something today that made you unhappy? Tell me so I can correct my mistake."
Ye Qing knew she was being a bit unreasonable, but perhaps because of her pregnancy, she couldn't control her thoughts and just felt very angry. "I didn't know you liked reading magazines from street vendors?"
Xi Quan was stunned for a moment, and finally understood what was wrong with Ye Qing.
It was something that was easy to explain, but since he didn't intend for Ye Qing to know, Xi Quan didn't want to tell Ye Qing.
Xi Quan wasn't testing Huang Fei without a purpose. In Xi Quan's view, he didn't quite believe Huang Fei's so-called dream story. He was afraid that Huang Fei actually knew that he had a purpose in coming to find Ye Qing.
Because she didn't want Ye Qing to be upset about these things anymore, she thought of asking him tentatively.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qing misunderstood.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Ye Qing had already explained why she was unhappy, so she wanted to hear what Xi Quan had to say. But he remained silent, and his silence made Ye Qing, whose hormones were a bit turbulent due to pregnancy, start to overthink.
