Chapter 169 Black Humor
Chuckling, Xia Xue couldn't help laughing when she heard Wei Zhuoran say this.
Xiang also looked at Wei Zhuoran somewhat uncomfortably.
Wei Zhuoran took her pulse and it was normal. He wanted to check it again, but Xia Xue took her hand back.
"As for the child, it's impossible. My illness is just a common cold. Your third brother is making a fuss out of nothing. I ate light and little in the past few days, but today when I saw that you liked it, I couldn't help but eat a little more. My mouth was full." Xia Xue laughed it off, trying to convince Wei Zhuoran without embarrassing Xiang Ye.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Then sister-in-law, how can you be so sure? You and third brother are living together, aren't you looking forward to it?" Wei Zhuoran looked at Xia Xue's calm look and couldn't help but want to help Xiangye.
It is not easy for San Ge to like a woman, and a man as cold as him is definitely not good at expressing it. Since he is already here, he might as well be a good person and give her some encouragement.
"Of course I like it. Anyway, things like this should just be left to nature." Xia Xue rolled her eyes countless times in her heart, but the problem was that she couldn't express it.
Xia Xue: Is this guy a pig? It's none of his business whether we have children or not.
Xia Xue: This Prime Minister is really sick. You didn't stop me when I asked you this. I've tried so hard to save your face, and you have no reason to stand aside and watch the joke.
[Bibi: Xia Xue, you idiot. Xia Xue loves Xiang Ye so much, she will definitely show it more in front of his good brother. Can you stop being so cold? ]
【Xia Xue: I know, gentle, gentle. The problem is, how can I be gentle to two pigs?】
Xiang Ye stood aside, looking at Xia Xue coldly. He felt mixed emotions. Has this little girl always been so hypocritical?
She obviously loves him and thinks about him. But the problem is that she hates him to death, otherwise why would she want to divorce him so much? But the problem is that he really can't bear to divorce her now, and he feels that he cares about her more and more, and likes to be with her more and more.
"Third brother, did you hear that? My sister-in-law really wants a child, so you still have to work harder." Wei Zhuoran was happy to hear Xia Xue say that. He quickly said to Xiangye.
Xiang Ye glanced at him coldly and said in a deep voice, "Okay, if you are fine, go back. What, is the hospital going to close? Do you have so much free time?"
Wei Zhuoran was feeling aggrieved. He had rushed over without stopping when his third brother called him just now. But now his third brother was clearly trying to annoy him and wanted to chase him away.
His glass heart...it hurts so much.
But the way the third brother looked at him was scary.
Wei Zhuoran didn't dare to stay any longer and left in shame.
Seeing Wei Zhuoran running away in disgrace, Xia Xue couldn't help but laugh. She raised her head and asked Xiangye with a smile, "Master Xiang, is he always this funny?"
"Hmm?" After Wei Zhuoran's words, the relationship between Xiangye and Xia Xue eased a little.
Xiangye couldn't believe it at all. In just a few hours, everything went out of control. He wanted to divorce Xia Xue at first, but now it has become... even he himself finds it a little unbelievable. He actually had such an idea from the bottom of his heart, maybe living with Xia Xue is not a bad idea. And he began to have some yearning and expectation.
But then, looking at Xia Xue, Xiang couldn't help but feel confused.
"You really don't want to live in the main house?" Xia Xue's words did not lie to him. He could still tell from her appearance. He originally wanted her to live in the main house because he thought she wouldn't be bored staying at home all day, and he had to say good things about her in front of his grandfather and his mother.
Xia Xue didn't say a single bad thing about him, that was certain. He knew everything from what his mother told him on the phone. He knew that she would come back with dinner every day, saying that she was waiting for him to come back for dinner. But in all this time, he had only come back for dinner once.
However, if he didn't go back to the main house, he was a little bit unsure. He was so busy with work. Could Xia Xue really take care of herself? Not worrying about her was one thing, but now he was worried about her. He was also afraid that she couldn't take care of herself.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's mainly because the main house is too far from here. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to work. If you're worried, I'll move back to the main house and you can stay here." Xia Xue was calculating in her heart. Grandpa and mom were so kind to her. If she wanted to live in the main house, grandpa would definitely not stop her. He would even ask the driver to take her there. She wouldn't have to see Xiangye, and she could live with her favorite family and do what she liked. It was perfect.
Anyway, as long as she doesn't live with Xiangye, it doesn't matter where she lives.
Xiangye listened to what she said, saying that she was afraid that it would be inconvenient for him. In fact, why was it so? How could he not know? She wanted to leave him alone, and her plan was very sound. The problem was that he would not agree.
"So, are you really afraid that it will be inconvenient for me? Do you care about me?" He is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. I'm afraid Xia Xue is not his opponent.
Xiangye rubbed his little finger and asked Xia Xue casually.
"Master, you said that I love you so much, so I must consider you in everything. Am I not afraid that you are too busy at work and don't want you to be too tired?" The fortune teller seemed to relax a little, and Xia Xue continued to act even harder.
"It's rare that you think so much about me, how can I let you down?" Xiangye took Xia Xue in his arms and ruffled her hair.
Xia Xue was quite docile, smiling at Xiang Ye. As long as he didn't let her move back to the main house with him, everything else could be discussed.
Xia Xue: Okay, okay. It seems I have really convinced Xiang.
Xia Xue: That’s great. The tiger is still safe and sound after having its fur plucked. It’s amazing. I’m so amazing.
"My Lord, you are so kind!"
"Since you know I'm so good to you, shouldn't you reciprocate?" Xia Xue's gentleness satisfied Xiang, and he held her in his arms, letting her lean on him. He felt a warm feeling in his heart, very warm, very comfortable, without any disgust.
"It's my duty, it's my duty." Xia Xue turned around and looked at Xiang Ye with her eyes rolling. Her expression was quite happy.
Xia Xue: You better not make any excessive demands, little brat. Otherwise, I will never forgive you.
"Since you are afraid that I am too tired and don't want to move back to the main house, then we won't go back. But let you move back by yourself. If grandpa and mom ask about it, it won't be a big deal for one or two days, just explain it. After a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it. You care so much about me, I don't want to make things difficult for you. Don't you agree?" Xiangye threw down the bait, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.
"This..." Xiangye was right, but the question was, what was he going to do? Xia Xue couldn't help but be on guard when she heard this.
"In that case, then don't go back. I will try to go home in the future so that you won't be lonely."
After that day, Xia Xue was a little worried that Xiangye would embarrass her. But she didn't expect that she didn't see Xiangye for two days. She felt relieved and thought he was just teasing her.
Soon, JY's new product launch came. Wu Yuezhen specifically asked her out and solemnly handed her an invitation.
"I don't care. You must come to tomorrow's press conference. As you know, the original theme of JY's new product launch this season was 'Angel', but the press design has changed. I have discussed with the senior management these days, and the company has decided to change the name of the series to 'First Snow'." Wu Yuezhen said excitedly, holding Xia Xue's hand. She really hoped that Xia Xue would be able to attend the event. If she didn't go, she would definitely be disappointed.
Xia Xue was a very charismatic person. She found that she was always very calm when she was with her. She was no longer panicked no matter what happened. If she was not really too busy recently and Xia Xue said she had something to deal with, she would have wished to be with Xia Xue every day.
Moreover, the main design was done by Xia Xue. She really hoped that she could participate and see how effective the clothes were after her modification.
"It's called 'First Snow'." Xia Xue was surprised when Wu Yuezhen said to change the theme. After all, for a listed company like JY, the theme of new products is usually decided before the design is released, and the design team will design clothes according to the theme. It is rare in the clothing industry to change the theme after the clothes are designed. Not to mention, 'First Snow'. Xia Xue's heart trembled slightly.
"Well. It's called 'First Snow'. The main design was originally your idea, and you didn't want your name to be included in the list of designers, so I took the initiative to apply to the company to change the theme, Xia Xue, the first draft design. First Snow, I feel that this theme is also very suitable for the entire clothing design. This is perfect. Of course, it also has important historical significance." Wu Yuezhen said with a smile. In fact, this idea was decided by Zhao Zhehan. But Wu Yuezhen couldn't say it now, she wanted to give Xia Xue a surprise at tomorrow's press conference.
"Yuezhen, actually you don't have to." Xia Xue would be lying if she said she wasn't moved, but she just wanted to use this method to let JY know her strength and give her a chance to negotiate. However, she didn't expect Wu Yuezhen to convince JY to change the topic.
Wu Yuezhen was really kind to her and cared about her feelings. She was very clear that she really didn't want Wu Yuezhen to be affected in the company because of her.
"Don't think too much. The main thing is that the senior management thinks this theme is more in line with the previous ones. It just happened. It's not my credit." Wu Yuezhen didn't want Xia Xue to have any burden, so she changed the subject directly: "By the way, how is your health? Are you really better? It's all my fault. If it weren't for helping me, you wouldn't have been so tired." Wu Yuezhen still felt very guilty about Xia Xue's fever and hospitalization.
She was only concerned with the design and ignored Xia Xue.
"I'm really fine. Look, I'm fine, aren't I? Yuezhen..."
"Oh, I'm so hungry. Eat quickly, eat quickly. You've been tired for so many days. Today you can finally have a good meal." Wu Yuezhen didn't let Xia Xue finish her words and urged her to eat quickly.
JY's new product launch event not only has a great influence in T City, but also attracts buyers from all over the world. Wu Yuezhen was very busy that day because she was the chief designer. Although she arrived at the scene early in the morning, she was still directing the final work.
When Xia Xue arrived, Wu Yuezhen was still busy in the front. She saw Xia Xue was so happy that she almost jumped up. The scene entered the final preparations and was indeed very busy. The backstage assistant came over and asked her to pass, saying that a set of clothes had appeared. After briefly explaining the situation, Wu Yuezhen was not polite and directly pushed Xia Xue to the backstage to help.
Backstage, Wu Yuezhen's team was busy at this time. The models were putting on makeup and trying on clothes. When Xia Xue arrived at the backstage, the assistant who had received her at the beginning came up to her and took her to a model.
"Ms. Xia, it's great that you can come! Ms. Wu is busy at the front desk right now. Look, there seems to be something wrong with the waist cut of this sample. I have changed several models but they can't show the effect of this dress."
Xia Xue followed the assistant's instructions and took a look. It was indeed because of the cut of the dress that the waist of the dress looked extremely bloated. At this time, the model wearing the dress had a very slender waist, but after putting on the dress, there was a sense of exaggeration, not only could the waistline not be shown, but also made the model's figure seriously deformed. It made people feel very out of place.
Xia Xue did not pursue the problem of tailoring, but just thought about it for a while. She looked around the models on the scene again, and suddenly, she locked on a target and asked her assistant to call the model who was originally wearing the press-fit design over.
Yan Ruyu walked over slowly accompanied by her assistant, looking at Xia Xue with disdain in her eyes. She was not a model, but her figure was even better than a model. She would never come to a catwalk like this before, but this time she was invited by Zhao Zhehan to wear the season's signature piece.
When the chief designer's assistant called her, she was actually very reluctant. But because she had just been dumped by her prime minister, it had some impact on her. Several movie investors even broke their appointments with her. At the assistant's reminder, she had to sell face to Xia Xue. There was no other way, she had to cling to Zhao Zhehan, the big fish, hoping to turn things around. This kind of situation, if it really got out of hand, was indeed not good for her.
"Xiao Zhang, let this lady change into this dress. And tell the stage to adjust the order of the dresses. Put this one on the second to last, followed by the finale." When Xiao Zhang went to call Yan Ruyu, Xia Xue had already looked through the order of the dresses that would be on stage. And asked the model who had just worn this dress to change out of it. After careful consideration and communication with Wu Yuezhen in front, it was decided to adjust the order. Now, watching assistant Xiao Zhang bring the model over, she couldn't help but start giving instructions.
"Give them your clothes." After Xia Xue gave instructions to Xiao Zhang, she turned around and said to the model who had just taken off her clothes.
The model knew that the dress Yan Ruyu was wearing was the hottest product of JY this season. When she heard that she was going to wear it, her eyes lit up and she asked Xia Xue uncertainly, "Are you saying that I can wear this hottest product?" As a professional model, she knew that it was a great honor to wear a hottest product at a new product launch event, especially for a large group like JY.
She was already very satisfied to be invited by JY to participate in this show today. She couldn't believe that she could wear the signature dress. Now seeing this dream opportunity coming to her, it was something she had never dared to imagine.
"Affirmative." Xia Xue nodded clearly. She looked up and saw Yan Ruyu still motionless. She couldn't help but urge, "Time is running out. Miss, change your clothes quickly."
Xia Xue asked Yan Ruyu to change her clothes, but Yan Ruyu definitely refused. Just kidding, Zhao Zhehan promised her that she would be the top performer this time, so she came to participate. Now she was being ordered around by this person who was not even the chief designer, how could she bear this tone. What's more, she was asked to change her position as the top performer. If she really walked the show tonight according to her arrangement, she would become a joke in the entire entertainment industry tomorrow.
Xiao Zhang was at the side, feeling torn. Yan Ruyu was known for her bad temper in the industry. She had already announced that she would wear the most influential new product of the season for JY tonight, and there were already a large number of reporters waiting outside. The entire JY knew about this. Xia Xue must have discussed this decision with Wu Yuezhen before she could make it. Her orders were unquestionable.
She looked at Yan Ruyu's assistant and tried to get her to persuade her to leave. But even her assistant was unmoved and stood aside. Helplessly, Xiao Zhang gritted his teeth and persuaded, "Ms. Yan, please take off your clothes."
