Because at the current pace, it seems unlikely that the two of them will be able to get down to business anytime soon.
Sure enough, the two of them started chatting casually.
While scalding the kettle, Bai Qin asked Su Yang, "Why is Jingcheng so busy? He didn't even come home for Chinese New Year this year. Didn't he say when he'd be back?"
"He can't come back. The situation there was almost resolved, but then another huge problem was created. You know, his work can't be delayed; it's too affected by the weather and environment. The sooner it's dealt with, the better."
"It's been so long since he's come back. Can't they live without him over there?"
"Of course! He's an irreplaceable and important figure. Did he send you a New Year's greeting during the Spring Festival?"
"Yes, he video-called me. He's lost weight again. You, as his mother, have to make sure he gets some good nutrition when he comes back next time."
"You don't need to tell me that. Tsk, we're running out of tea leaves, I'll go get some."
"Go ahead, did you change the tea set? It feels different from the one I saw last time I came."
"Yes, I accidentally broke a cup from the last set, so it's not a complete set and I don't want to use it."
As Bai Qin spoke, he walked away to fetch tea leaves from elsewhere.
Su Yang then looked at her two daughters.
She said to Qin Yulong, "You probably don't know this yet, but your third brother, Jingcheng, is your Aunt Bai's godson, which is why your Aunt Bai cares so much about him. Come to think of it, you haven't even met your third brother yet."
Wen Yan nodded silently in her heart. The relationship was indeed extraordinary; the two families were even sworn brothers.
However, she still hasn't met her third brother, Shen Jingcheng, and doesn't know when she'll have the chance to see his true face.
Just then, Bai Qin returned with the tea leaves.
She seemed very interested in Qin Yulong and took the initiative to talk to her.
"Are you even angrier now that you know I'm your brother's godmother?"
Qin Yulong felt somewhat puzzled: "Aunt Bai, I didn't. And I don't think you need to keep bringing this up."
As a junior speaking to an elder, Qin Yulong's tone was not very friendly.
However, Bai Qin was clearly not angry about this. Just as Su Yang had said before, her temper was indeed a bit strange. Not only was she not angry with Qin Yulong, but she also had the idea of recognizing Qin Yulong as her goddaughter.
"I really like your personality. Why don't you recognize me as your godmother? Anyway, your third brother is already my godson."
Qin Yulong frowned at Bai Qin and said, "I refuse."
This answer seemed to be exactly what Bai Qin had expected; she wasn't angry even after being coldly rejected to her face.
"You certainly have a strong personality. But it's okay that you rejected me today. There's always next time. Anyway, I'm close to your mother, right, Lao Su?"
Su Yang glared at Bai Qin: "You're too impatient. This is only the first time we've met. Yu Long doesn't know you at all."
Bai Qin shrugged indifferently: "But you know me, isn't that enough?"
Su Yang was speechless: "You'd better get out of here, you've scared my precious daughter."
Bai Qin laughed: "Does my goddaughter look scared? She doesn't seem like a timid or cowardly person."
Su Yang couldn't help but glare at Bai Qin again: "What goddaughter? You're already calling her that? You haven't officially acknowledged her yet! Hurry up and make your tea, I'll talk to you about serious business later."
"No rush, I have plenty of time today."
"You have plenty of time today, so our time is also time."
"What, Lao Su? Is this the attitude you get when you come to me asking for a favor?"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, alright? I take back what I just said."
"Yes, the withdrawal is valid."
After brewing the tea, it's time to skim off the foam. Bai Qin's movements are skillful, and he doesn't even need to keep an eye on his work all the time.
Her gaze fell on Qin Yulong's face again.
"I know you came to see me today because of the 'Spring Returns' fashion show. There's an outfit I designed myself called Cloud Thunder, which is black and white. I think it suits your temperament very well. Would you like to try it on, Yu Long?"
Qin Yulong is not usually someone who easily shows her emotions, but at this moment her face is filled with all sorts of emotions—inexplicable, strange and surprised, and not very happy.
She even felt that Bai Qin was deliberately messing with her because she was a grumpy and petty person.
She kept asking herself if she was still angry, but actually, she was the one who was angry.
Qin Yulong frowned even more deeply. She explained to Bai Qin very seriously, "I don't walk the runway. I'm Wen Yan's agent. I'm here to fight for opportunities for her."
“Yeah, I know.” Bai Qin smiled. “But I just felt that you would be a good fit for my Cloud Thunder system, so I wanted to invite you to join, but unfortunately you’re not interested.”
"Yes, I'm not interested."
Bai nodded: "I already know."
After saying that, she finally turned her gaze to Wen Yan.
“You two are sisters with no blood relation. I have taken a liking to her. I not only want to invite her to wear my clothes and walk the runway, but I also want to adopt her as my goddaughter. I have no interest in you in any of these matters. Aren’t you jealous?”
Su Yang: "…………Old Bai, are you crazy? What kind of nonsense question is this?"
"Don't interrupt, I'm asking about Wen Yan."
Wen Yan blinked; she hadn't anticipated Bai Qin's way of speaking and acting at all.
However, she wasn't jealous at all.
She still smiled and said, "No, I'm not jealous of Yulong. I'm not jealous of anyone either, because I'm very satisfied with everything I have and everything I've experienced, so there's nothing to be jealous of."
