Chapter 1908: Who exactly is this woman looking for?

~8 min read 1,406 words

Wei Yangyang's face revealed embarrassment.

Yet, in the depths of the woman's eyes, a look of disdain flashed by.

But afterwards, her smile became even more radiant.

And she said very kindly, "I have seen your designs, especially the on-site design for a model competition; it was truly magnificent, and I admire it endlessly."

"No, no, no, I'm just a small designer, I don't deserve such praise. Um, whatever it is you need, you might as well just say it directly."

Wei Yangyang did not lose her ability to judge just because of a few pleasant words.

She always felt that the woman's appearance was very deliberate.

The other party's smile remained unchanged, and parting her red lips, she said, "There is indeed a small request; I would like to ask you to design my house after you recover."

"I see, but it will be a while before I can go back to work. If you are in a hurry, I can recommend other designers to you."

"No, in terms of design, I only trust Miss Wei. As for the remuneration, you set it."

"This..."

"I really like Miss Wei, I hope you won't decline."

When the woman smiled, her expression was sincere.

But Wei Yangyang felt extremely awkward.

She wondered, could this woman be a subordinate from her father's business circle, here specifically to butter her up?

That didn't seem right either.

The woman was covered in luxury goods and had an uncommon air about her.

And Wei Baba's business scale was not very large; it couldn't win over someone like this.

Then...

Just as Wei Yangyang was letting her imagination run wild, the woman took the initiative to support Wei Yangyang's arm and said, "Let me help you back; shall we sit and chat for a while?"

"... Alright then."

Wei Yangyang was tired too, so with the woman's support, she returned to the hospital room.

The two sat down, and the woman showed Wei Yangyang photos of her house's layout and then talked about her own ideas.

The woman's performance was quite like that of a client seeking consultation.

But what was strange was that she would frequently look toward the door.

It was as if she were waiting for someone to arrive.

Wei Yangyang took in all of the woman's actions.

Just as the woman was talking until her mouth was dry, someone walked in.

It was Yi Xiang.

Yi Xiang noticed a stranger in the hospital room, paused his steps, and then asked Wei Yangyang, "A friend of yours?"

Wei Yangyang shook her head and said, "A... beautiful lady who wants to find me for a collaboration."

After saying this, Wei Yangyang looked at the woman again.

As she looked, her eyes still held a sense of inquiry.

She wanted to know if the person this woman was waiting for was Yi Xiang.

The woman did not notice Wei Yangyang's scrutiny; at this moment, the woman's gaze was resting on Yi Xiang's face.

From her expression, it could be clearly seen that she was stunned by Yi Xiang's appearance.

Afterwards, she even looked him up and down.

It seemed she was also stunned by his physique.

The woman's gaze finally returned to Yi Xiang's face, and she introduced herself, "Hello, my surname is Sun, Sun Qing."

Yi Xiang nodded slightly, counting as a greeting.

From these reactions, it could be seen... Sun Qing did not know Yi Xiang at all.

Therefore, the person she was waiting for was not Yi Xiang either.

Wei Yangyang faintly withdrew her gaze, her heart falling back into confusion.

Yi Xiang exchanged a glance with the woman, then shifted his gaze and asked Wei Yangyang, "Where is your mother?"

"She went to buy flowers."

"Your mother really does like flowers."

This was a fact.

Wei Yangyang smiled and did not continue the conversation.

"By the way, starting tomorrow, I won't be coming over anymore."

This decision of Yi Xiang's was quite sudden.

After hearing this, Wei Yangyang's shoulders relaxed slightly.

This movement was very subtle.

Yet Yi Xiang caught it.

Immediately, he complained with a look of grievance, "Are you that relieved not to see me?"

"Ah? No, no, I'm not relieved."

"Then are you reluctant to part with me?"

Yi Xiang changed the subject, a smile still on his face.

Wei Yangyang was left speechless.

Sometimes, she really wanted to punch Yi Xiang.

This brat was truly too cheeky!

Looking at Wei Yangyang's helpless expression, Yi Xiang deepened his smile, even revealing his white teeth.

Wei Yangyang did not want him to spout any more nonsense, so she brought up business: "What are you going to be busy with this time?"

"Busy with work, shooting advertisements, magazine photos, and there's also a short film."

"So much work?"

"Yeah, they all came to me on their own."

Wei Yangyang couldn't help but say with gratification: "It seems you've become popular."

Yi Xiang didn't feel he counted as popular.

At best, it was just... good luck.

The few jobs he had come into contact with this time were all set by others, but then they suddenly backed out, only to miraculously fall into Yi Xiang's lap.

Although they were unexpectedly dropped on him, they were all rare, good opportunities.

If Yi Xiang completed them well, his career would definitely be able to reach a new level.

Because of this, Yi Xiang had to focus on his work during this period and could no longer run around.

Although Wei Yangyang was not a person in their circle, she knew that having so much work piled on one's shoulders would definitely be very tiring, so she urged: "You must take good care of yourself."

"Mm."

"Don't worry about me; by the time you're done, I might already be discharged from the hospital."

"Mm... that's true. Then when you are discharged, I'll take a day off to come back."

"No, no, no, you just busy yourself with your work; as for me, there's no need to worry."

Wei Yangyang refused very anxiously, as if she were afraid that Yi Xiang would get involved.

This attitude made Yi Xiang feel a bit hurt, and he looked at Wei Yangyang with a wronged expression.

Wei Yangyang pretended not to see it and chatted about the next topic: "You don't have any acting experience either; can you handle that short film?"

"It's alright, anyway, Director Zhou Jing approves of me quite a bit."

Sun Qing had originally been listening to the side, bored to death.

Upon hearing the name Zhou Jing, she couldn't help but sit up straight.

Then she asked Yi Xiang: "The short film you're shooting, does it start filming next week?"

"Mm."

"Who introduced this job to you?"

When Sun Qing spoke, she carried a tone of interrogation.

Yi Xiang didn't like it at all, so he said bluntly: "I don't want to tell you."

"What right do you have not to tell me? I am the female lead of the short film!"

Huh?

Wei Yangyang looked at the two of them with uncertainty.

She thought to herself, could this woman have come to the door for this reason?

Logically, it made sense.

It's just that...

Why did Sun Qing look so disappointed?

Yi Xiang was also very cold.

He stared at Sun Qing, then feigned sudden realization: "So you're Sun Qing."

"What kind of memory do you have? I just said my name a moment ago!"

"Sorry, the name is too common; it didn't register in my brain after I heard it."

This jerk...

Sun Qing began to grit her teeth.

Yi Xiang, on the other hand, acted like nothing had happened and even reached out to pick up an orange to eat.

As for Wei Yangyang, she had originally thought she had found the answer.

But the current situation left her confused once again.

Moreover, she always felt that if the current atmosphere wasn't eased, Sun Qing might fly into a rage at any moment.

Wei Yangyang didn't want to see a beautiful woman go crazy, so she had to break the stiffness: "Is Miss Sun an actress?"

Facing Wei Yangyang, Sun Qing was still somewhat restrained.

She crossed her arms and said sullenly: "I am an actress, and also a model; I even have my own brand!"

"Wow, you are truly young and promising!"

Wei Yangyang's tone was slightly exaggerated.

But Sun Qing was very pleased by it.
