Chapter 354 - 303: Pregnancy
When the organizers issued that statement, Cen Jin also received a personal call from them. Since the work originally belonged to Cen Jin, they wanted Cen Jin to replace An Yuyao as the first place winner. This surprised Cen Jin quite a bit, because even though the work was hers, she had already chosen to withdraw from the contest. Moreover, after this incident, she felt she didn’t need this competition as much, so she refused.The organizers then decided to have the second-place winner, Ye Lingran, substitute as first place, and so forth, promoting another designer from the top five designers.
After congratulating Ye Lingran, Cen Jin paid little attention to the matter. Over a week later, it gradually faded from her mind. However, she heard from Jiang Baizhou that Principal An was very angry upon learning of this. He accused Yao Xue of spoiling her daughter, An Yuyao, like killing her. Despite Yao Xue’s objections, he sent her to train abroad, cutting off all her financial sources and warning Yao Xue not to give her money for two years. Even when An Yuyao used Zhu Qinghan’s marriage as an excuse, Principal An did not agree, leading to a big argument with Yao Xue. Angered, Principal An even considered divorce. After hearing this, Yao Xue dared not make a fuss and could only watch her daughter suffer alone abroad.
Entering April, the weather in Nancheng became warmer. After the competition, Cen Jin and Ye Lingran’s studios became even hotter commodities, attracting many people from afar seeking a unique wedding dress. Thus, they grew busier, unable even to attend Zhu Qinghan and Zhu Chen’s wedding, only sending their blessings and gifts via phone. However, Zhu Qinghan refused to accept the gift and returned it. Therefore, Cen Jin had no choice but to buy and send a present.
Ireland is a romantic country, and it’s the only country where once married, one cannot divorce. Those who marry there are destined to stay married. Cen Jin thought that Zhu Qinghan marrying Zhu Chen would surely lead to lifelong happiness, as all of Zhu Chen’s tenderness and affection was for her, making only Zhu Qinghan worthy.
As for Cen Jin herself, she didn’t know why she was feeling lethargic and low in spirits today. Once she sat on the sofa, she had little desire to get up, with even her appetite dwindling. Once an avid eater, she now could only eat a bite or two before losing interest.
Yet she didn’t take it to heart, thinking it might be from the frequent overtime work patching up recent exhaustion.
"You’re not eating anymore?" Ye Lingran noticed she only had a few bites before setting down the bowl, looking tired and leaning against the sofa back, and asked with concern.
"Um, don’t feel like eating." Cen Jin waved her hand lazily, hugging a pillow and leaning against the sofa, speaking lightly as if lacking energy.
"You haven’t eaten much this lunch either! Look, you’re losing weight recently."
"Really?" Cen Jin raised her hand and touched her cheek, looking at Ye Lingran with a smile.
Ye Lingran sighed silently, exchanging a glance with Ling Quan and Fan Yunru: "If you don’t believe it, ask Ling Quan and Yun Ru; there’s no meat on your face anymore. You were already slim, and losing more weight, won’t you become a bag of bones? Can Jiang Baizhou bear that?"
"What does this have to do with him? I don’t know, but my stomach was hungry, yet when seeing food, I’m not hungry anymore, having no appetite. Probably from being too tired recently!" Cen Jin couldn’t understand herself lately, losing her appetite since mid-April.
"Why not head back early to rest today? We’re here for you!"
"Yeah, Sister Cen Jin, don’t wear yourself down; go back and rest early!" Fan Yunru chimed in, agreeing with Ye Lingran’s suggestion.
"It’s fine; isn’t today the last day to finish Miss Li’s order? It must be completed tonight. You all hurry and eat; I’ll sit for a while and then start working quickly." Cen Jin said with a smile, politely refusing, and closed her eyes to rest.
Seeing Cen Jin so resolute, Ye Lingran couldn’t do much but let her be. After the three of them finished eating, they all went back into their busy work again.
