Chapter 384 - 385: Being In The Spotlight-II

Xiao Yun could only wait for now. Calling anyone wouldn't help her to find her best friends and came the thought that she should call Wang Li Lei. However, he was currently busy with a dangerous operation to save Zhao Min and she wouldn't want to call him and ruin his plan. Calling a police wouldn't do too because she had to wait for a twenty four hours confirmation. The least she could do is to wait until her fashion show to end and find her friends by her own.

"Can you do me a favor and try to find where Ling Ling and Nie An could be?" Xiao Yun requested. Xue Xiu Yong have the power to do so if he could, thought Xiao Yun. Sending her bodyguards now would lead to danger and she decided not to.

"Course I will. I'm here already. Do you think I will go back do what I want after knowing the suddenly disappear like a fog? Even fog have a reason to dissolve in air." He reasoned. "Also they're my friend too, I wouldn't leave them like a piece of trash."

Xiao Yun giggled, "Thank you." she said, "Please call me when you found them."

"I will." and the call ended for the makeup artist who was taking care of her makeup continue to work on the right side of her face which she was unable to do so. Xiao Yun looked at her phone, she wish she could call Wang Li Lei but she didn't want to disturb him. However, this could be important. After a moment of deciding whether to tell or not, Xiao Yun messaged her current situation to Wang Li Lei.

Just as soon as she messaged him, a click sound came to her ears, she turn to see the previous assistant who had helped her to search for Zhi Ling Ling standing before the door he had opened, "The fashion show had started." he said hurriedly, they were running out of time.

Zi Gong strode to the assistant, "Which brand now?" he asked, taking the schedule paper placed outside the door, he picked and check the timing.

"Velon." the assistant filled in and Xiao Yun could also hear it. According to her memory that was three fashion show before Lin Chang Lu and then her company.

Xiao Yun stood from the dressing table, and turned to everyone to say, "We still have time, everyone please prepare yourself."

In the audience seat, Wang Yongyi sat on the very far left followed by Wang Yan Zhi, Lin Chang Lu, Qingge, and Wang Shi Ning. The hall where they were had a wide space. In the middle between the seats was a grandiose stage with a longer path in the middle of the rectangular space. The floor was carpeted in a red and white colored carpet, where the models walk and took a pose. Besides the longer path was many seats placed. There was three floor divided from the vast room and they sat on the third second middle seat where the view was the best for everyone. When the first company walked through the stage, Qingge turned her face to take a note of the empty seat beside Wang Shi Ning that was kept vacant so people wouldn't take a seat there as it was Xiao Yun's seat they reserved.

"She is still not here, do you think there maybe a problem backstage?" Qingge whispered in the darkness of the place. The stage was glowing with bright lights but from where they were it was comparably dark with lesser lights. Her hushed words could be heard to Wang Shi Ning who sat right beside her.

Wang Shi Ning brought her hands to cover the side of her lips and whispered, mirroring what Qingge did. "I don't know. I don't think I should call her now because she seems busy. I don't have her phone number too." added Wang Shi Ning when she remembered how she had never called Xiao Yun through phone and that hadn't exchange contact number.

Qingge also doesn't have Xiao Yun's number. She could ask Wang Li Lei but that would be too indirect when she could ask Xiao Yun directly. They went back in the silence and Qingge who was still looking at Wang Shi Ning then came to ask, "Is there anything wrong between you and Chang Lu?" she made sure her voice was lighter than the wind, so the person she was talking about who also sat on her left shoulder wouldn't hear their words. "You seem to be uncomfortable before." she added her words with her eyes looking forward now.

"I-" Wang Shi Ning trailed, her eyes move to peek a look at Lin Chang Lu to confirm that the woman wasn't watching her talking to continue, "Before I think that the only woman perfect for Cousin Lei is Lin Jie-jie." sighed Wang Shi Ning. "I believe they were perfect together, the couple who were both strong, admirable, and a pair of beauty and handsome. Until Cousin Lei choose Xiao Yun Jie-jie, I continue to think the same." replied the girl honestly while Qingge watching her expression.

Wang Shi Ning may be childish because of her being spoilt by her parents. She was the only daughter, making her the most precious to her uncle and aunt especially to Wang Elders. But Qingge knows that in truth, Wang Shi Ning was an honest girl who looked at other in good view. She rarely treated people unfairly only some times at some point she would antagonize people because of her poor judgement.

Qingge casted her eyes away from the models toward her little cousin, "What about now?" she inquired because from what Qingge see, Xiao Yun and Wang Shi Ning didn't seem to have a bad relationship.

"I could not see why Cousin Lei wouldn't choose her." Wang Shi Ning replied with a high praise. "Xiao Yun is very kind, she's also a good person who knows Cousin Lei well and Cousin Lei choose her, it's not right for me to antagonize her. That's why it's hard for me to see Chang Lu." replied Wang Shi Ning honestly. "I feel that it would be bad for me if I stay beside Chang Lu when I do not support her. I know that Chang Lu like Cousin Lei," the girl expressed her concern.
