Chapter 122 Missing each other.
"You're finally back!" Qiao Yanxinteng gestured for Pei Xiangwan to sit over.
Pei Xiangwan was speechless. She was called out by Qiao Yanxin just after she came back. She better be in trouble, otherwise she would be skinned alive.
Qiao Yanxin had a bitter face. After a long while, she prepared herself for the mental struggle and spoke slowly.
"Xiang Wan, what do you think Ma Wanqing likes? I don't think she likes anything."
Pei Xiangwan suspected that he had misheard and asked again, "What did you say?"
"I was asking what kind of gift Ma Wanqing likes. Her birthday is coming soon, and she's on vacation now. I feel a little embarrassed to ask her out after not seeing her for so many days." She said shyly.
Although Pei Xiangwan was speechless, he still listened to what the other party said patiently and thought carefully for a while before answering.
"Often, the best gifts are those that are made with care. Everyone thinks so, no matter you or me." She patted Qiao Yanxin's shoulder, stood up and said again.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
Qiao Yanxin nodded blankly, mumbling, "Thoughtful... a thoughtful gift, what does it mean to be thoughtful?"
Pei Xiangwan slipped into the bathroom just to take a look at her phone. She felt it was impolite for Qiao Yanxin to look at her phone while she was talking. Seeing that the other party was lost in thought, she took the opportunity to leave for a while.
The phone screen lit up white, and the chat interface stopped at the good morning message she sent this morning, but the other party did not reply.
She thought that maybe because they had just separated, they chatted too enthusiastically last night and forgot about time. Another major issue was the time difference.
She couldn't help feeling a little guilty, afraid that it would affect Jiang Shiyuan. They each had things to do, especially now.
…
The sky was half yellow and half purple, with sparse clouds floating around. The white apricot round table could not reflect the sky. Only the cup of hot tea was emitting steam, and it seemed to be floating towards the top.
Jiang Shiyuan glanced at the hot tea, smiled coldly, and looked at Ji Tiantian with cold eyes. "I didn't expect that you would come here to chase me."
She ignored the message from Ji Tiantian because it was a waste of her precious time, but she didn't expect Ji Tiantian to be so difficult this time.
Jiang Shiyuan placed her arms on the table, tapping them with her fingertips in a particularly playful manner. Without waiting for Ji Tiantian to speak, she tilted her head and smiled.
"I know what you want to do even if you don't tell me, Ji Tiantian. Instead of playing tricks on me, you should spend your time on the girl you support."
Her dimples are as sweet as honey, making her smile always cute, even if it doesn't match the words she's saying.
After hearing this, Ji Tiantian's face suddenly darkened and her smile disappeared completely. Her ink-black eyes emitted a cold light.
She thought she had hidden it well and no one would find out. She knew very well that Jiang Shiyuan was cold-blooded and of bad character. The only thing he could show off was ballet. He was a waste who couldn't even take over the family business.
The most important point is that Jiang Shiyuan has been trained to be the one that everyone in the circle wants to marry, and no matter how arrogant he is, the final outcome is nothing more than getting married and having children.
Ji Tiantian's gloomy face showed a smile again, and she said proudly.
"You're smarter than before, but you're still stupid. I just happened to be in Switzerland on business and happened to meet you here."
She stood up without knowing when, walked around the round table, came to Jiang Shiyuan's side, put her hands on his shoulders and kept applying force.
"Don't talk nonsense without evidence. Enjoy the competition and cherish your studies in London. After all, you won't get it back when you return home."
Jiang Shiyuan patted Ji Tiantian's hand, his amber-clear eyes emitting a chill.
"You should worry more about yourself than me. I hope... you'll still be like this next time we meet."
Ji Tiantian was shocked by Jiang Shiyuan's eyes. It was even more terrifying than the expression she showed when she snatched Jiang Shiyuan's toys when she was a child, but Ji Tiantian was not afraid. She had enough confidence in herself.
Even though she began to panic, there was a moment when she felt that provoking Jiang Shiyuan this time would bring her into big trouble.
But she knew she was worrying too much. Whether when she was a child or now, she was always the winner.
The winner not only wins, but also takes away everything from the loser.
Ji Tiantian responded arrogantly, "Of course, I will always be me, but you may not be."
Jiang Shiyuan's lips curled up slightly, the amplitude was so small that it was hardly noticeable. She laughed at Ji Tiantian's stupidity. The pig that was gradually being fattened seemed to feel that it could eat everything.
Jiang Shiyuan picked up her bag and left. Although the sun was scorching overhead, she was still as cold as a moon, inhumanly cold.
Ji Tiantian looked up at the sun, but she felt that the sun was useless and did not dispel her coldness.
"Waste... Jiang Shiyuan, ah Jiang Shiyuan, what's the point of being pretty? Just having a pretty face will only make love more fake."
……..
The glass windows were burned red, and the fire intensified rapidly, burning the remaining cloud. It gradually dissipated as if it had completed its mission, and the red faded.
Pei Xiangwan was busy staring at the computer. Just when she took a break, she received a notice asking her to go to Italy. She also received an inexplicable email asking her to design a necklace for a noble princess... This felt a little familiar.
Her eyes widened. The princess mentioned above should be the only princess of the Giuliani family, the beloved Giuliani Hawthorne.
She was also a key figure in elevating Ning Xuemo, but everything was different now. If she was invited, it would mean that she would win the competition, but she didn't know if she could succeed.
The Giuliani family is a prominent royal family in Italy, well-known as patrons of the arts. They have supported many artists and musicians, and those they sponsored are all talented and well-known in the art circle.
For example, the most famous Esta is known as a magical monster. He has a strange personality. Money can't hire him, and he doesn't want praise or enthusiasm. He always refuses people with one sentence: "I don't like you, leave now."
He designs for people based on his feelings. Only when he likes something can he design a masterpiece. Just as he said, there are only a few masterpieces in the world. So no matter how weird he is, there are still many nobles looking for him.
Pei Xiangwan admires Esta because she has seen his work Heart of Flame and she wants to be like that person.
"I don't know if I'll be able to see Estar when I go."
The phone that had been idle on the desk for a long time vibrated. Pei Xiangwan lowered his eyes and saw that it was Jiang Shiyuan calling.
It was pitch black when she realized she had been sitting there for so long. The time showed 10pm, and there was a seven-hour time difference between her and Jiang Shiyuan. So, the other party...
When Pei Xiangwan picked up the phone, he heard that sweet voice, but it was a little breathless. Pei Xiangwan guessed that the other party had just finished his work.
"Sorry... Wanwan, I didn't mean to ignore you all day. I was just too busy and there was this damn time difference. Wanwan won't blame me, right?"
"No, thank you for your hard work, Jiang Jiang."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before he spoke.
"Hmm... I think it's harder not being able to see you, and not being able to kiss you either. I want to video chat with Wanwan, but she should be asleep by the time my game is over."
