Chapter 409 - Family Reunion

Feng Xuan drowned herself in her work yet again to keep her mind away from her own thoughts. On the weekends, Scout, her great german shepherd, kept her occupied. He was good at keeping her distracted. In the mornings, they would go for a run and they spend afternoons in the parks. She usually took a book with her. She tried to keep her day as filled as possible.

Finally the day of the fashion show came. She was also excited about it. Somehow, Wang Yimin convinced her to walk on the runway again despite her many qualms about it. They compromised and said that she was only going to walk on the runway at the end.

Feng Xuan must've seen a gazillion flowers by now. They wanted to take advantage of nature and its natural setting. They rented out a whole recreational park for their event. Flowers bloomed everywhere and it was well kept. 

If she was going to be asked what part she was most proud off, it would be the stage itself. Models would begin with two halves of silkscreens on each side with a waterfall falling behind them. The runway curved a few times before rounding back to the huge tent they set up. The whole ensemble was accented with flowers of different colors and kinds. Chairs were lined on each side, air coolers, and small outdoor sunshades.

Feng Xuan and Liu Meilien slept at Wang Yimin's the night before so they could get ready together. They would also be sharing the same car and arrive hand in hand in the event.  Their hair were pulled and styled into loose curls, pinned painfully at different spots in on their heads.

"I really love that one," Feng Xuan commented as Wang Yimin was getting dressed.

"Really?! You should've said so! I would've adjusted the size." Then Wang Yimin looked at herself on the floor length mirror. "Uhm, I don't think that would help though. You have a nice chest."

Feng Xuan stared at the almost invisible neckline that ended and curved around Wang Yimin's cute small chest. The border was filled with petals and small flowers. The light blue gown hugged her around the waist before flourishing into complicated pleats, covered in huge lilac flower prints by the sides.

"My chest is not that nice to me!" Feng Xuan laughed. "I would love to wear clothes like that too." Her gown was zipped from the back. It was in the color of burnt pink, almost like a medium brown red color. The top part was like an armor with its silver and black stitching of flowers covered with a thin layer of tulle. The skirt was light and airy on her smooth legs.

The production manager's head popped in. "Almost all the guests are already here. We start in about thirty minutes."

"Thank you," Liu Meilien answered. As the ambassadress, she was going to be wearing one of Wang Yimin's most proudly designed ensembles for today. If you take an initial look, the dress looked like they had ran out of fabric while creating it. It creates the illusion that a smaller dress was just pasted on her body with its heavy white fabric looking like it was levitating. It showed off Liu Meilien's thighs and the train flowed beautifully behind her. That was not even the best part. It was a tube dress but it had a v-neckline made with illusion fabric embroidered with dark red flowers and green leaves and black branches. It closed at the waist and opened again, revealing the same pattern from there to the middle of her thigh.

They did all that they could do to make this show a success. Feng Xuan knew that it was going to be more than enough. However, another thing was plaguing her. As much as she was up to Qing Chen's challenge on how she was going to bring his mother in this show, she could not think of a solution.

She aged and her face changed. But there no consolation that she would never be recognized by any of their guests. If she would be recognized, that would be the end of the line for many of them. It would be like their whole lives would start to burn right before their eyes.

Feng Xuan barely slept the past few days, trying to make sure that everything would be in their rightful places so she would not have to worry so much today.

"Did you invite your mother today?" Feng Xuan asked her step-sister.

"I sent her an invite," said Liu Meilien, still getting her make-up done. "I don't know if she's going to be here."

Months already passed and Liu Meilien's relationship with her mother was still not fixed. "Do you think you two will be able to… you know… get better?"

Liu Meilien sighed. "I'm trying not to think about it at the moment, but I really want to move out of the house already. Won't it be nice?"

Feng Xuan smiled. "That's a great idea. I'm sure Father will find somewhere nice for you."

Once the seats were all filled and everyone was in their rightful places, Liu Meilien opened the show. Feng Xuan was near the stage, watching everything from the sides with Qing Chen right beside her. She heard a man whispered to his ear.

"She's not here."

Qing Chen nodded and the man scurried away.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#&apos;s-rose-married-the-ceo_15939261805465305/family-reunion_52243871962288706">#&apos;s-rose-married-the-ceo_15939261805465305/family-reunion_52243871962288706</a> for visiting.

"Well…" her husband whispered to her.

"The day's not over," Feng Xuan said. She was on the verge of laughing. She didn't expect that Qing Chen would gloat that he was right about his mother.

He ran a hand from her shoulder to elbow. "Yup, the day is not yet over. What did you make her do?"

"I think I saw Wuming and Addison somewhere here."

"What?"

"I think I saw them passing around champagne glasses."

Qing Chen groaned silently. "I can't belive this."

"I told you… this is a family reunion."
