"..." Xing Fei was still incredulous.
The impeccably beautiful "Queen" dress lies there, and one has to admit that its designer, Elsa, is truly outstanding, able to design a dress so exquisitely and perfectly.
After ending the video call with Xing Fei, Ji Zhinan contacted the Queen offline store he had visited before and subtly inquired about the store's prized possession, "Queen".
"I'm sorry, miss, our prized 'Queen' has already been packed up and taken away by headquarters. Even if you come now, you won't be able to see it..."
Ji Zhinan silently shifted her gaze to the dress.
"Queen" was taken away by people from headquarters, but now she's here with her.
After hanging up the phone, she scrolled through her contacts again.
After her rebirth, her social circle became very small. Apart from the Ji family and the Xing family, almost no one knew her phone number anymore.
Ji Zhinan's hand, which was swiping the screen, suddenly stopped, and his fingertips landed on a certain contact.
Gu Yibei.
Scenes from that night involuntarily flashed through my mind; the man's eyes were particularly captivating...
Ji Zhinan clicked in, hesitated for a long time, and finally let out a breath before dialing the number.
"Beep—beep—"
It rang only three times before the call was answered.
Ji Zhinan remained silent, as did Gu Yibei on the other side.
"Um..." After a long silence, Ji Zhinan spoke first: "I am Ji Zhinan."
"I know," a sexy, deep voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I received a dress from Queen today..."
She fell silent before finishing her sentence, waiting for Gu Yibei's reply.
The man asked, "Do you like it?"
Sure enough, it really was him.
That's right. Just look at his outfit that day: a high-end custom-made suit, and the fact that he just gave up one of only fifty of these rare sports cars in the world. Just from these things, you can tell that Gu Yibei is either rich or noble.
Although "queen" is the flagship product of the queen family, it should be just a small matter for him to handle with a few words.
"Why did you suddenly give me a dress?" This was something Ji Zhinan couldn't understand.
Just as she hadn't picked out a dress yet, Gu Yibei sent one over.
There was a three-second silence on the other end, then he replied, "Repaying the debt."
If Gu Yibei hadn't run into Ji Zhinan that night, he would have been in a terrible predicament and wouldn't have been able to escape quickly.
"..." This time, it was Ji Zhinan who fell silent.
She did help him that time, but Gu Yibei repaid her with such a huge favor, which Ji Zhinan felt was too precious for her to accept.
"This dress is too expensive, you should take it back." After thinking for a moment, Ji Zhinan still spoke up.
"No rush," Gu Yibei said. "We'll talk about it next time we meet."
Before Ji Zhinan could agree, the other person continued, "I have something to do here. Let's talk again when I have time."
"……good."
After Gu Yibei hung up the phone, Ji Zhinan put down his phone in a daze, staring at the man's number and name on the screen, his dark eyes flashing slightly.
Next time, shall we meet?
…………
Two days later, at a high-end star-rated hotel in Beijing.
The area outside was filled with luxury cars, and the people getting out of them were all dressed formally and impeccably.
The waiter led them into the venue.
The Xing family of three had already arrived and were standing at the hotel entrance waiting for someone.
Xing Fei checked her phone four or five times in a minute. The banquet was about to begin, but Ji Zhinan hadn't arrived yet.
"Old Xing, where's Nan Nan?" Xing Fei asked anxiously.
