Although every time Xu Tingyu wore a new product, it always managed to catch people's eyes.
At this moment, however, the two of them were completely stunned.
They had received quite a few celebrities. To be honest, Xu Tingyu was prettier than many of them.
She had an air of affluence that had nurtured her, and every gesture exuded elegance.
Xu Tingyu didn't mind the two's gazes. Instead, she looked down at the clothes.
"I think we should add some three - dimensional decorations to the waist. Cinch it in a bit, but not too much. What do you think?"
Only then did the two come to their senses, and they both stepped forward.
"We can give it a try. But it's getting a bit late today. How about we come earlier tomorrow morning to make the changes?"
Both assistants were originally designers. After working with Xu Tingyu, they had also learned some sewing skills.
When the samples needed to be modified, most of the time, the three of them would make the changes on the samples themselves.
Xu Tingyu glanced at the time. "Okay, but wait for me for another half - hour. Let's go over the details about the exhibition hall reservation for tomorrow."
Without further ado, she turned around and went to change her clothes.
In her private time, she preferred comfort and would simply choose simple - styled clothes from the company.
Since A Xing was around, she dressed neatly even in her room.
After coming out, she suddenly remembered something and asked Shushu, "We haven't given that short - sleeved shirt I designed before to any clients, have we?"
There were only a few clothes that she had designed completely by herself, so it was easy to remember.
And it was Shushu who was in charge of the client gift list.
She thought carefully and shook her head. "No. Only a thousand pieces of that batch were produced. Eight or nine hundred were sold online. There are still dozens left in the warehouse, but none were given to clients."
"Okay."
Xu Tingyu didn't dwell on it. She just assumed that Yan Zhou had bought it before and was just dressing casually for dancing today.
She didn't want anyone to work overtime with her, so she quickly turned on her computer and started discussing work with the two.
The three of them were very efficient. They sorted out everything in less than twenty minutes and then got up to leave.
Actually, they also lived in the hotel, each having a room downstairs.
After seeing them off, Xu Tingyu remembered the cold takeout.
The cold noodles were all clumped together. She took two bites and couldn't eat anymore.
But her stomach was really hungry. Ordering takeout now would take time. She remembered that there was a snack street next to the hotel, so she grabbed her phone and went out.
The two assistants had eaten not long ago and both declined her invitation to eat.
She went downstairs alone, planning to find a small shop to grab something to eat and then come back.
But before she even walked out of the hotel lobby, someone suddenly hugged her legs.
Xu Tingyu froze. Her blood seemed to congeal. She didn't even dare to look down at first.
But the little one hugging her leg had already spoken. "Mommy, woo - woo, you're my mommy."
The place where she was hugged felt soft, but a sharp pain welled up in her heart. The pain was so intense that she almost lost control of her muscles and wanted to bend down.
It seemed like an eternity had passed, but in reality, it was only a few dozen seconds.
Her phone dropped to the ground with a "snap".
Finally, she bent down, knelt on one knee, and hugged the little one in front of her tightly.
The photo in that email finally merged with the person in front of her.
She wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Youyou called out "mommy" several times. A flood of guilt welled up in her. Before she could even respond, tears streamed down her face.
"Mommy, why don't you talk to me?"
Youyou's little hands hugged Xu Tingyu tightly.
A few steps away stood Qi Shifeng, wearing a hat. His expression couldn't be seen clearly.
Actually, he had known when Xu Tingyu checked into this hotel.
To be more precise, he had received the news the moment Xu Tingyu landed in Kyoto.
He thought he wouldn't let them meet so soon.
At least, he would let her go to the kindergarten a few times in vain, so that she could really feel the pain of longing to see but not being able to, before he let Youyou meet her.
But he didn't expect that he was much more easily compromised than he thought.
Because she didn't go to the kindergarten today.
Did she give up after just one visit?
At first, he was angry, but this anger didn't last long. Instead, it turned into worry.
She wasn't the kind of person who gave up halfway. Had something happened to her?
He sent someone to investigate and found out that she had left the hotel at noon and hadn't returned yet.
He didn't have anyone dig deeper into her itinerary.
He drove his car outside the hotel and sat there waiting for a long time.
Finally, he saw her come back.
She didn't go up immediately. Instead, she seemed to be waiting for someone. Then she waved towards the door.
For a moment, he thought she had seen him.
It was as if his heart skipped a beat. He held his breath.
But he quickly realized how ridiculous he was.
He was driving a new car he had just bought this year. It was very low - key. The glass was one - way. He could see outside, but people outside couldn't see in.
How could she have noticed him?
Moreover, even if she did notice, she probably wouldn't greet him at all.
Sure enough, soon a delivery rider appeared. She took a takeout bag from him and quickly returned to the hotel.
This time, she didn't even look back and went straight into the elevator.
Qi Shifeng sat in the car for a while longer. Suddenly, he made a crazy decision.
He drove home and asked Youyou, who was building Lego, "Youyou, do you want to see your mommy?"
Youyou was always very focused when building Lego.
But when he heard this question, without even thinking, he stood up and nodded vigorously at Qi Shifeng. "Yes."
Then he took him to the hotel.
Unexpectedly, before he could even knock on the door, they met Xu Tingyu at the entrance.
Youyou recognized her as his mommy at a glance and immediately trotted over.
Qi Shifeng instinctively wanted to grab him, but he had already run over and hugged the woman in long clothes and trousers without hesitation.
He stopped in his tracks and watched as the woman knelt down halfway and hugged Youyou.
Although it was his decision, when he really saw this scene, that feeling of heart - palpitations that made him feel like he was in shock came back.
He stood there and watched silently for a while, then walked over.
No, to be precise, he staggered over as if floating, pulled Youyou away, and picked him up.
"You've seen her. Now come home with Daddy."
Qi Shifeng hardly looked at Xu Tingyu and turned to leave.
Before Youyou could even start crying, Xu Tingyu suddenly grabbed Qi Shifeng's arm.
"Mr. Qi, please, could you give me a little time?"
Her hand was on his forearm. Her fingertips were cold and even trembling slightly, indicating how nervous she was.
But the three words "Mr. Qi" made Qi Shifeng's breathing ache.
