72 The Suit Is Bad

72 The Suit Is Bad

'Gu Yechen glared at Qin Lai

who nervously cleared his throat before continuing

"But he's my boss."'

'He Xinyan gasped in surprise. Boss? But Qin Lai was the owner of his own clothing line

so how did he have a boss?'

'Qin Lai suddenly stood up

"I'll be right back."'

'A second later

he came back with a pot of tea and he poured some into three cups

"Storytime! So

it all began when I was 17 years old. Well

I've always had a dream to be a fashion designer and start my own brand. But I was young. I searched and searched for people willing to sponsor me

but no one did. Until

I met my savior

Lord Gu."'

'Qin Lai's eyes sparkled as he talked about this memory

"Lord Gu had great taste in fashion. He saw into the future that I would be successful right there and then! He sponsored me several million so I could start my own brand

but his only condition was that I have to be his personal designer."'

'Qin Lai frowned slightly

"I could still share my works with the rest of the world

but only Lord Gu could wear my clothes. In the beginning

I mainly designed male clothing

but Lord Gu had me design more female clothing too a few months ago. Hehe

now I know why."'

'He Xinyan was still in shock after the story was over. So

her partner wasn't only just the richest and most powerful man in Country Z. . . He was also the boss of the best fashion designer in the world?!'

'"Okay

enough. Where are the dresses?" Gu Yechen asked.'

'"Let's go!" Qin Lai stood up and together

they walked back into the room

where the pieces of clothing were displayed.'

'"There are more inside

but I think the ones displayed better. Do you want to look through the ones displayed first?"'

'He Xinyan nodded and walked around the room. Now

she knew why the dresses looked familiar. Every single one on display had been on Qin Lai's shows before. They looked even more beautiful in person than on the television.'

'He Xinyan looked through the 13 dresses on display and walked over to Gu Yechen

"Yechen

I don't really want to wear a dress that people have seen before."'

'Although it would genuinely be cool to wear a piece of clothing by Qin Lai that everyone knows about

it would also be weird. Everyone that knew Qin Lai also knew that he never sold his clothing.'

'So

if she wore his clothing to the engagement party or wedding

people would assume that what she was wearing was fake.'

'That way

instead of getting a positive result

it would only result in an embarrassment.'

'Before Gu Yechen could respond

Qin Lai poked his head out from a room down a hallway

and he waved at them

"Come!"'

'They walked over and Xinyan saw that there was another large room filled with dresses that she did not recognize.'

'"These. . ."'

'"All for you! I started this collection a month ago and Lord Gu had commanded that these dresses can not be shown to the world."'

'He Xinyan stared at the row of beautiful gowns in awe. A month ago. . . That was when they had just met. She turned around and stared at Gu Yechen. How was he so sure a month ago that she would still be by his side in the future? How did he know that she would need these dresses in the future?'

'He had everything planned out. He had thought ahead for her.'

'He Xinyan puffed her cheeks out as she felt a sour feeling in her nose

but she wasn't going to cry in front of her idol!'

'Xinyan took a deep breath and looked through the collection of dresses. Everything was her size and there were at least 15 dresses on the rack.'

'In the end

she chose a beautiful and sexy red mermaid evening gown. The dress had an off-the-shoulder design and low neckline

and there was also a high slit on one side of the dress that reached her thigh.'

'Overall

the dress was quite revealing and it really accentuated He Xinyan's beautiful body and skin. She was skinny but also had fat in all the perfect areas.'

'When she stepped out of the changing room

Gu Yechen seemed to freeze. After a long time

he finally raised one eyebrow and immediately shook his head.'

'"No."'

'He Xinyan frowned

"Why?"'

'"We can get this dress

but you cannot wear it to the engagement ceremony."'

'He Xinyan wasn't going to let Gu Yechen ruin her plan

"No! I want to. . . Please."'

'"No." Gu Yechen seemed very firm in his opinion

"You can wear it for me

but not anyone else."'

'"Don't be so selfish! Gu Yechen!" He Xinyan walked over to Gu Yechen and punched him on the arm gently.'

'Gu Yechen gulped as his eyes moved up and down He Xinyan's figure. Finally

he cleared his throat and tore his eyes away from her.'

'"Um. . ."'

'He Xinyan's eyes brightened when she realized that there was hope -'

'"No."'

'In the end

He Xinyan ended up wearing a different red dress that was similar to the old one. There was still a slit on the right side

but it ended lower. There was still an off-the-shoulder design

but the v-line was gone and all of her chest was covered.'

'Although this dress didn't get the result He Xinyan wanted

it still worked. After several minutes of persuasion

Gu Yechen finally let this dress through his test.'

'After He Xinyan was done

it was time for Gu Yechen to try on his suits for the engagement ceremony.'

'He walked out of the changing room in a fully black suit and He Xinyan's eyes lit up. However

she quickly cleared her throat and crossed her arms together.'

'"No!"'

'Gu Yechen smiled

"Why?"'

'"It's all black! It looks like you are attending a funeral!" He Xinyan raised one eyebrow.'

'Gu Yechen nodded and disappeared into the changing room again. When he came back out

he was still in a black suit

but the shirt inside was white this time.'

'He Xinyan shook her head again

"No."'

'"Why?"'

'"I don't like it."'

'Gu Yechen licked his lips and smirked. By now

he was beginning to get what He Xinyan was doing. The third time

he came out in a red suit that matched the color of He Xinyan's dress.'

'Although He Xinyan thought that the suit did indeed look very nice

she still shook her head.'

'Gu Yechen's smile grew wider as he stuck his hands into the pant pockets

"Come in."'

'"What?"'

'Gu Yechen walked over and pulled He Xinyan into the changing room. Pointing at the row of clothes

Gu Yechen looked at Xinyan

"Which one do you like?"'

'He Xinyan glanced at the suits

"None. They all look bad."'

'"Oh

okay." Gu Yechen smiled and let go of He Xinyan. She turned around to look at him and saw that he was. . . undressing!'
