Chapter 222 - 221: It’s not a difficult task.
Ye Lingran laughed: "Already thinking about your honeymoon, but of course you thought of Jiang Baizhou. Milan is a great place for tourism or honeymoons. When both you and Jiang Baizhou are free, you can come here to have fun! Also, your wedding gown is still being designed, right? When it’s ready, you can come here for the wedding photo shoot; it’s a great location."Cen Jin nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I previously discussed with Jiang Baizhou where we should take the wedding photos. He said we could go anywhere I like. I have several cities in mind, including romantic places like Paris and Milan. But for the wedding photos, it’s not feasible to go to so many places, right? We’d be exhausted! A single wedding photo shoot can drain us. Not to mention the wedding itself; it’s too challenging."
"Then pick a place you and Jiang Baizhou both love. You only get married once in your life, so it’s okay to put in a little extra effort; it’s a happiness!" Ye Lingran smiled at the waiter bringing morning tea and suggested with a smile.
"I’m not completely sure yet; let’s talk about it next year!" Cen Jin took a deep breath, shrugged with a smile, and took a bite of dessert with a golden cake spoon: "Alright, let’s not talk about this now. When our studio gets past this busy period, I’ll need more of your advice on my wedding dress design. Let’s eat first—after we’re done, we’ll head back to the hotel. I’m afraid we might not have enough time later."
"Okay, we’ll discuss this later."
"Hmm."
While they were almost finished eating, Yun Xi called to ask if they weren’t at the hotel. Cen Jin said she’s out eating with Ye Lingran, and Yun Xi indignantly scolded them for not inviting her. But Cen Jin retorted by asking if Yun Xi could even get up if they called her, instantly leaving Yun Xi speechless.
Ye Lingran proactively settled the bill, not giving Cen Jin a chance to speak, and dragged her out of the restaurant.
Back at the hotel, it was already 9:13. Yun Xi and Yun Qi finished their breakfast at the restaurant upstairs and came down, and as soon as Yun Xi saw them, she pouted and glared at them with an unhappy expression.
Ye Lingran and Cen Jin both laughed helplessly and promised Yun Xi that next time, whether she’s sleeping or not, they’d call her, and if she doesn’t get up, they’d drag her out of bed to have breakfast outside.
Upon hearing this, Yun Xi blinked innocently and guiltily rubbed her nose, lightly coughing: "Well... maybe forget it. I think the hotel’s breakfast is quite good, and you can try it tomorrow morning. Besides, sleeping a bit more is always good. Why get up so early, right?"
Hearing this, Cen Jin and Ye Lingran couldn’t hold back their laughter, and even Yun Qi shook his head helplessly. Although they’d not known Yun Xi for long, they already figured out her personality thoroughly—she’s the type to make a big fuss over little things, and when she gets serious, she chickens out.
At 9:35, the fashion show organizer drove over to pick them up.
Arriving at the fashion show venue, it was already after ten. After greeting the organizer, Yun Qi went with his assistant for a meeting with them, while Cen Jin, Ye Lingran, and Yun Xi headed backstage to watch the models rehearse and try on clothes.
The fashion show had 100 models, and each piece of clothing was unique. With so many people, it was noisy but not chaotic; the backstage area was spacious, with over 20 rooms.
As they walked through all 20-plus rooms, time seemed to fly by, and it was already noon. Cen Jin and Ye Lingran were also observing closely.
Walking past the last room, they heard chaos and arguing from inside as they reached the door. The three looked at each other and then turned towards Sarah, the fashion show deputy minister. After Yun Qi went to the meeting with the organizer, Sarah was supposed to guide Cen Jin and the others on the venue tour.
Receiving their curious looks, Sarah awkwardly smiled and said in English, "Sorry to show you this." Then she instantly changed her demeanor, pushed the door open, and shouted sternly, "What are you arguing about? What’s going on? What kind of impression are you giving the guests?"
Sarah’s entrance and shout abruptly halted the arguing and chaos inside. A tall, blonde-haired girl angrily walked over, clutching a lake-blue off-shoulder tulle gown in her hand. Her pretty and delicate face was full of grievance and anger: "Sarah, look at this; Lina ruined my gown like this. How am I supposed to wear it? I just got off stage to grab this outfit to change, and it ended up like this." Speaking, the girl held the gown out to Sarah.
Sarah took the gown and looked at it; the top layer of tulle was torn. Sarah instantly raised her brows and directly looked at Lina, who had been arguing with the girl. Feeling Sarah’s gaze, Lina’s heart trembled slightly, and she hurriedly came over to explain: "Sarah, I don’t know about this. I just got off stage, and Rico wouldn’t stop accusing me of deliberately ruining her outfit, preventing her from going on stage. I admit, my relationship with Rico isn’t great, but many in the industry are paying attention to this show. How could I...? Rico blames me without reason, so I got worked up and argued with her."
Cen Jin, Ye Lingran, and Yun Xi silently observed, sharing a glance of disbelief at the rivalries in the modeling circle.
Both models were fairly well-known in the industry, often seen at various fashion weeks and shows. There were rumors of their bad relationship before, but they never acknowledged it in interviews, always calling each other sisters.
It seems now that it was all just diplomatic talk.
In this circle, the truth and lies don’t seem that significant.
"What do you mean, are you saying I’m wrongly accusing you?"
"Isn’t that right?"
As soon as Lina finished speaking, Rico immediately retorted, and the two started arguing again.
"Alright, stop arguing. Arguing solves a problem? Will the gown fix itself? What you should be thinking about now is what to do. Are you planning to wear it like this for the show?" Sarah, overwhelmed by their argument, loudly stopped them.
Seeing this, Cen Jin exchanged glances with Ye Lingran, smiling as she approached, speaking relaxedly in fluent English: "Actually, it’s not difficult."
