Wen Yan was just guessing anyway.
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Qin suddenly turned his head to look at Su Yang beside him.
Su Yang met her gaze and asked in surprise, "Why are you looking at me like that? You don't think I'm the one who leaked the secret, do you?"
Do you have one?
"What do you think? I've never even seen the design sketches for your final outfit, let alone heard of its name. Your final outfits are always top secret; even your assistant has to sign a confidentiality agreement with you. It would be strange if I knew about it. ... But speaking of which, so my Yan Yan guessed right, didn't she? Your outfit really is called 'Secret Realm'?"
Bai Qin did not answer Su Yang's question directly, but turned to look at Wen Yan and Qin Yulong.
"Have you two been in contact with other staff members in my studio privately?"
"No." Wen Yan chuckled. "Aunt Bai, even if you don't trust us, shouldn't you trust your assistant who signed a confidentiality agreement with you?"
Bai Qin nodded: "I just asked casually, and I didn't mean it to target any of you. I hope you don't mind."
“Yes,” Su Yang said, “I can vouch for that. That’s just her personality, and it hasn’t changed in decades. She can be incredibly rude and sometimes infuriating.”
"Nonsense! If you could really make someone angry to death, would you still be alive today?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Wasn't that your test for my Yan Yan? Now that she's guessed the name of your dress, does that mean she's passed?"
Bai Qin looked Wen Yan up and down again: "Okay, actually even if she didn't pass, I would have arranged another place for your daughter out of respect for you. But now it seems that your daughter is really talented and does fit the temperament of my Spring Return Secret Realm."
“So…” Su Yang couldn’t help but laugh, “Yan Yan is the grand finale of your show this time, right?”
"Let's try on the clothes first."
"Yan Yan, hurry up and thank Aunt Bai, it's all done."
"Mm!" Wen Yan nodded, smiled and exchanged a glance with Qin Yulong before looking at Bai Qin.
"Thank you, Aunt Bai, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely work hard."
Bai Qin raised an eyebrow: "Don't thank me so soon. If I find that the clothes don't suit you after you try them on, I'll still kick you out of the finale position."
"I understand, I understand, I get it. So when should we try it? Do we need to schedule another time?"
"Let's do it now. Do you have any other plans for today?"
"there is none left."
"That's perfect. I'm getting impatient too. Would you like some more tea?"
"Hmm...would you like some more?"
"I'm not in the mood anymore, come with me."
It seems Bai Qin is an impatient person; she ran away halfway through brewing the tea.
Seeing this, Su Yang immediately waved to Wen Yan: "Go ahead, that's just her personality, she's impulsive."
Wen Yan nodded and immediately followed Bai Qin's steps.
After walking several meters away, Bai Qin suddenly turned around again.
Her gaze was fixed on Qin Yulong: "Are you sure you don't want to try my Cloud Thunder set?"
"No." Qin Yulong refused decisively, but she still stood up from her seat. "May I come with you?"
Bai Qin paused for a moment: "Originally it shouldn't be possible, but I still hope you can give Yun Lei a try. Perhaps you'll change your mind after seeing my work."
Su Yang also stood up from her seat: "Then I should be able to go too, right?"
Bai Qin shrugged: "You weren't supposed to be allowed to, but now you're benefiting from your two daughters, so you can be included."
Su Yang chuckled: "I never thought that one day I would benefit from your relationship by having my daughter instead of our friendship."
Bai Qin chuckled: "Remember, no photos allowed."
"Do you even need to tell me that?" Su Yang quickly followed. "I know these basic rules."
"..." Bai Qin directly mocked, "It would be strange if you knew. Look at how many photos of your son and daughter are in your phone's photo album. Even though you didn't post on WeChat Moments when you went on a trip, my private messages were almost bombarded with your photos, all of them of the kids. In a little while, your Yan Yan will be using my private photos, and I'm really worried that you won't be able to resist."
"If you can't resist, then let me take a few pictures. I promise I won't leak them; I'll just keep them to myself."
"No, rules are rules."
"Hey, we've known each other for so many years, can't you be a little more accommodating?"
Two middle-aged sisters walked ahead, haggling over prices, while Wen Yan took Qin Yulong's hand and whispered to her from behind.
"It seems that Mom and this Aunt Bai have a really good relationship. She seems even more comfortable and happy when she's with Dad."
“Of course,” Qin Yulong said seriously, “How could a man possibly compare to a woman?”
Wen Yan glanced at Qin Yulong and nodded: "That makes sense, but it seems a bit absolute. However, it seems that Aunt Bai really wants you to be her model. Are you really not planning to give it a try?"
Qin Yulong shook her head: "If I wanted to do this job, I would have done it years ago. There's no need to wait until today."
“That’s true,” Wen Yan asked again, “Do you like traditional Chinese or modern Chinese style clothing?”
“I love it, it’s so beautiful. It’s just a pity that it couldn’t be widely continued. I may not have told you, but there are also many overseas Chinese in our area. Everyone considers themselves descendants of the dragon, and they still retain some traditional customs and culture. You can see corresponding activities during festivals.”
“You seem to have mentioned this before,” Wen Yan vaguely remembered some of it. “We talked about the Spring Festival before, and you told me some things about it at that time.”
