"You're not allowed to go."
Originally, Ning Anmiao was still a bit hesitant. Seeing him with a straight face, she suddenly lifted her lips and said, "Okay, then see you later."
Not letting her go? She must go!
"Okay, see you later."
Jiang Qiwei got the answer she wanted and didn't continue to chat more. She hung up the phone very tactfully.
It had to be said that Jiang Qiwei really knew how to grasp the measure of getting along with "Lu Yan".
Lu's mother was right. If it weren't for Ning Anmiao first, Jiang Qiwei could indeed become a perfect Mrs. Lu.
Lu Yan frowned. Although he was unhappy about her hasty decision, his voice was still as steady as ever: "Doing this on purpose to anger me?"
"Anger you?" Ning Anmiao looked completely confused, her eyes wide open.
Such a confused expression on Lu Yan's face was extremely comical. His usually cold and immovable face seemed to suddenly gain flesh and warmth.
But in Lu Yan's opinion, she was just pretending to be stupid.
"How could I be trying to anger you? I'm thinking about your future life. This is a good chance for you to get along with Jiang Qiwei and deepen your feelings. You can't miss it."
Lu Yan was stunned. He didn't expect such a reason. His chest felt stuffy for no reason, and an indescribable emotion surrounded him.
Was she so eager to push him away?
"I've said before that there's no need to rush to find me someone else." His eyes were cold. In Ning Anmiao's once gentle and affectionate eyes, there was now a coldness.
"Call Jiang Qiwei now and tell her you have other arrangements." Lu Yan didn't give her any other chance and stuffed the phone back into her hand.
"I don't want to."
Ning Anmiao refused very straightforwardly. "Since you've promised someone, there's no room for going back on your word."
"So persistent, just to pave the way for me?" The man narrowed his eyes, trying to see through Ning Anmiao's mind through this body.
Ning Anmiao shook her head and said honestly, "Not entirely. It's mainly because I'm very interested in fashion design."
When it came to fashion design, there was a glint in Ning Anmiao's eyes.
She really wanted to go.
That day at Lu's mother's house, she had keenly sensed that Jiang Qiwei's identity was not ordinary. Sure enough, Jiang Qiwei was the chief designer of the overseas L&M brand.
In her opinion, L&M had been developing well in recent years. If all these designs were from Jiang Qiwei's hands, then she was really a person worthy of admiration.
It turned out that she just wanted to attend the exhibition.
Hearing this answer, Lu Yan unconsciously let out a sigh of relief. Then he glanced at her and casually asked, "When did you become so interested in fashion?"
The moment he asked, he suddenly remembered that during college, besides the Sinology major that her family asked her to choose, Ning Anmiao seemed to have a minor in another major.
But it was a long time ago, and he couldn't remember clearly what that major was.
He only remembered that she liked it very much.
The atmosphere suddenly went quiet for a few seconds. A flash of disappointment passed through Ning Anmiao's eyes, and she quickly concealed it.
Lu Yan also noticed her mood and couldn't help but cough a few times. "You can go. I'll go with you."
He had a premonition that he had to keep an eye on Ning Anmiao, otherwise he didn't know what she would do with his body.
Ning Anmiao shrugged. "Whatever you want."
She actually had other motives. Matching Lu Yan and Jiang Qiwei was secondary. What she mainly wanted was to see Jiang Qiwei's fashion design exhibition.
...
On the day they made an appointment with Jiang Qiwei.
Before going out, Ning Anmiao deliberately changed Lu Yan's usual suit - wearing habit and put on a white shirt with light stripes.
The tie was a special blue - and - red color combination, and a pair of khaki long pants. The whole person looked extremely outstanding.
To be precise, Lu Yan's body was originally very outstanding.
It's just that he used to be steady and reserved, but now he was more casual. His eyebrows and eyes were less cold and more amiable.
Lu Yan looked at the outfit Ning Anmiao had dressed his body in and slightly lowered his eyes.
"Like a peacock."
After a moment, he gave such an evaluation.
Ning Anmiao: ...
He really didn't know how to appreciate!
Anyway, he was scolding himself. Ning Anmiao comforted herself in her heart and didn't argue with him.
---
When they arrived at the exhibition hall, Jiang Qiwei was already waiting for them.
Jiang Qiwei carefully observed that Lu Yan's dressing style was different from a few years ago. He was not so dull and depressing, but had an indescribable charm.
He was much gentler than before.
Jiang Qiwei's makeup today was natural, delicate and perfect. Her clothes were also very elegant, a sapphire - blue slitted long dress.
The front of the dress was decorated with beautiful small diamonds, delicate but not obtrusive. The slit of the dress was in the right place, just showing her pair of long and beautiful legs.
"The latest style of MINI? It's very beautiful. This style suits you very well." Ning Anmiao immediately walked over, looking surprised. She didn't expect that she would wear this dress.
As she spoke, there was no hiding the admiration in her eyes, and her gaze frequently fell on this long dress.
It was really beautiful, exactly the same as what she had imagined in her mind when drawing the design sketches.
Thinking of this, Ning Anmiao couldn't help but curl the corner of her mouth, in a very happy mood.
Jiang Qiwei didn't know what the other person was thinking. She thought "Lu Yan" was looking at her and couldn't help blushing. Just as she was about to say something, her eyes suddenly noticed "Ning Anmiao" beside her.
"Miaomiao... is here too?" Jiang Qiwei was very surprised. She didn't expect that she would come too.
On the phone, she only invited Lu Yan.
"I heard that my husband was coming to the design exhibition. Coincidentally, I'm also very interested in this aspect."
Lu Yan deliberately emphasized the words "my husband", and his expression remained calm. "Miss Jiang shouldn't mind having one more person, right?"
"Of course not." Jiang Qiwei adjusted herself well. She pushed back the curly hair by her ear and smiled slightly. "It's my honor that you two came to attend."
Her expression was extremely magnanimous, showing no sign of unhappiness.
"Please come in, both of you."
After Jiang Qiwei walked a few steps, Lu Yan got closer to Ning Anmiao. His voice dropped and he gritted his teeth. "If you like that dress so much, I can buy it for you."
There was no need to stare at someone else, especially with his body!
People might think that he, Lu Yan, had taken a fancy to Jiang Qiwei, with such a direct look.
Thinking of this, Lu Yan's face became even darker.
Ning Anmiao gave him a strange look.
"Why would I buy something I designed myself?"
She quickly threw this sentence and then quickly caught up with Jiang Qiwei. Soon the two walked side by side.
As someone also from the design field, she really had a lot of topics to talk with Jiang Qiwei.
At the same time, Lu Yan was left behind. Looking at Ning Anmiao's back as she got closer to Jiang Qiwei, his eyes gradually became deep.
Lu Yan always thought that he knew Ning Anmiao inside out, whether it was her family background, living habits, or even her small movements.
That was why he could play "Ning Anmiao" perfectly without any flaws.
But at this moment, he suddenly realized that his understanding of Ning Anmiao was actually pitifully little.
He didn't really understand her.
