Ji Feng's smile gradually froze as he looked at her with guilt.
After a long silence, he spoke in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I've made you suffer."
"Why should I apologize?" Song Mai asked, pretending not to understand.
Ji Feng didn't know how to start the conversation.
In fact, he had a premonition that Song Mai would get into trouble, but he was too trusting of Liu Jiaer, which led to his momentary negligence.
The farce was quickly forgotten by onlookers, while Yu Chensheng stood not far away, quietly watching it all with a smile playing on his lips.
Song Mai, that's interesting.
Lin Ran approached Song Mai anxiously and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
"It's alright, don't worry." Song Mai gently helped her sit on the sofa next to her. "You can't be anxious or worry too much right now."
"My health has always been very good. I can't just stop doing anything because I'm pregnant," Lin Ran said nonchalantly, waving her hand.
She then told Song Mai that the Jiang family was overjoyed to hear the news of her pregnancy and offered to hold a wedding for the two of them immediately.
Fortunately, the Jiang family members are all reasonable people and do not have any objections to Lin Ran because of her background.
"That's good. Seeing that you two will soon be able to get married, I feel relieved." Song Mai said with a smile, her eyes full of satisfaction.
While the two were still negotiating, Yu Chensheng suddenly walked up to Song Mai and asked with concern, "Are you Designer Bai?"
"Hello, Mr. Yu." Song Mai had long guessed that he would come to find her, but she didn't expect that he would only take action now.
"I've heard that orders for your place are hard to come by. I wonder if I could have the honor of ordering a dress for you?" Yu Chensheng said with a gentle and refined smile.
Without hesitation, Song Mai immediately agreed: "Of course."
Lin Ran sat to the side listening to the conversation between the two, completely unguarded against Yu Chensheng.
During their break, Lin Ran suddenly spoke up without warning: "You and one of the people in our studio look..."
Before she could finish speaking, Song Mai immediately stopped her.
Lin Ran realized she had misspoke, laughed and stuck out her tongue, then tried to make amends: "She looks a lot like one of our studio's previous employees."
“The world is full of wonders, and it’s inevitable that some people will look alike,” Yu Chensheng said calmly, without any emotion.
His voice was calm and steady, making people willing to trust what he said.
Song Mai's intuition told her that he was the legendary boss, but she couldn't prove it for the time being.
After a moment of contemplation, she said softly, "We've unknowingly drifted off into a different topic, and we haven't even had a chance to ask Mr. Yu what kind of clothes he wants to order."
“Either is fine. Since your designs are internationally renowned, I believe you can design a suit based on my work without me having to say anything.” Yu Chensheng’s words were full of trust.
But it was precisely this trust that made Song Mai have a bad feeling.
The real intention behind this is not the dress itself; perhaps the other party's request to have clothes custom-made is not just for the formal attire, but rather to get closer to the designer and the studio.
Judging from Liu Jia'er's actions, this person is not as simple as she imagined.
I don't know if he harbors any ill will towards me, but for now I must treat him as an enemy.
Ji Feng rushed to his side, seemingly in a great hurry.
He glanced at Yu Chensheng warily at first, then turned to Song Mai as if nothing had happened: "I've been looking for you for a long time before I found you here."
"Is something the matter that's causing you such a rush?" Song Mai asked, feigning curiosity.
"I'd like to take you out for a drive. Would you be willing to accept my invitation?"
The party was about to end, and everyone looked tired.
Song Mai knew that he took her away because he didn't want Yu Chensheng to have too much contact with him.
But he himself was unwilling to leave alone with Ji Feng.
In a sense, he and Liu Jiaer were kindred spirits.
Perhaps he was involved in what happened today.
A sudden surge of defensiveness rose in her heart. After a moment of contemplation, Song Mai shook her head: "It's getting late. I have to go home to take care of An'an."
Monsoon nodded sadly, without saying a word.
"Since Designer Bai has other matters to attend to, I won't bother you any longer. I will definitely visit your studio another day, and we can discuss the order then."
Yu Chensheng did not linger and left decisively and gracefully.
Song Mai stared thoughtfully at his retreating figure, a strange glint in her eyes.
Ji Fenghe seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and sat heavily on the sofa.
Lin Ran asked curiously, "Why do you look so relieved? Is something important happening?"
"No, it's just that I'm too tired today." He didn't want to bring his emotions to Song Mai, so he didn't say anything more.
Watching the two people leave, he sat wearily on the sofa, feeling only agitated.
He pondered for a long time, then couldn't help but sigh.
Back home, Song Mai received a text message from Chu Yunxing.
[Yu Chensheng has problems, be careful.]
After reading the message, Song Mai deleted it without being too surprised.
She had long suspected that Yu Chensheng was suspicious, and now it seemed that he was the mastermind she and Chu Yunxing had been searching for.
But why does he look so much like Yu Xiao? The two are like brothers.
If Yu Xiao has any problems, I will definitely not let him stay in the studio.
The next morning, Song Mai arrived at the studio early.
Yu Xiao is always proactive and arrives extremely quickly each time.
He was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "Sister Wan'er, why are you here so early today? Is there something important?"
"It's nothing, I just had a sudden idea and wanted to come and take a look."
Yu Xiao nodded thoughtfully and began preparing for the day.
Without warning, Song Mai asked, "Don't you have an older brother or a younger brother?"
After a moment of contemplation, Yu Xiao sighed, "Yes, but they are not my biological brothers."
"What's the meaning?"
“I was separated from my parents when I was very young and was subsequently adopted by a poor family. Although we often didn’t have enough to eat, I am very grateful to them for giving me a warm home,” Yu Xiao said with emotion.
He studied hard and came to the big city to help support his family and make his parents and brothers happier.
Song Mai sighed regretfully, her face full of apology: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your sad memories."
"It's okay, it's all in the past."
Yu Xiao had a good attitude and didn't take those words to heart.
Song Mai couldn't help but wonder: could there really be two strangers in the world who trusted each other so much, or were they actually brothers?
