Early in the morning, Cartier's delivery man delivered the exquisite jeweled bracelet to the eighth floor of the new city apartment building. Just as he was about to call the exact room, he was stopped by Ma Wen, who had just parked the car.
"Give it to me, I'm going up." Ma Wen held a bouquet of roses in his hand, his face grave.
The delivery man was the one at the counter yesterday. She remembered Marvin. He then handed the beautifully wrapped jewelry box and card to Ma Wen and left.
Marvin turned the card over. The words on it were a white and polite blessing, without a trace of sincerity. He inserted the card into the flowers that Ling Chen had told him to prepare and pressed the button for the elevator.
He had always thought that Su Rui was in Ling Chen's heart. After all, she had followed him for so many years. Even though he didn't know what exactly he did, she had still helped him out a few times, both on the surface and in the dark. However, ever since Jian Fan had barged in, he had been unable to figure out what the Boss was thinking. But he did what Ling Chen told him to do. He was always his most loyal warrior, and he did not care about useless things.
Reaching out her hand, she pressed the doorbell. Thinking that it was Ling Chen, Su Rui rushed over excitedly to open the door. However, when she saw Ma Wen, she broke into a smile.
"Why is it you?" She turned pale, not caring that she was still wearing her pajamas. She returned to her computer and started typing.
Marvin didn't mind. He was always rigid and cold. However, knowing Su Rui's position in Ling Chen's heart, she was more polite and respectful.
"The Boss asked me to give you a present." He held them up to her, along with the jewelry box.
Only then did Su Rui raise her head and look at him seriously. She didn't put on any makeup when she was resting at home, but she looked even more elegant and beautiful, without the usual enchanting charm.
She first pulled out the card from the flower. The bland words on it didn't comfort her lost feelings. Then, she accepted the jewelry box in his hand. There was a bright and colorful jewel-like bracelet with a unique design. It was her favorite type.
"Why didn't he come?" Suri held out her left hand, revealing a slender white wrist.
Ma Wen was slightly startled. He then bent his knees and squatted on the ground. He put down the flower bouquet and put on the bracelet for her with both hands. The size was just right, making her jump in her youth.
"Boss is busy with the company's matters. I'm here to apologize." His tone remained businesslike, as if nothing could change his mood.
"At least he still has a heart, but he hasn't come for more than a month. In the past, he never stopped coming to see me for more than a month." Is he still with that woman? " Su Rui pouted her red lips and spoke in a soft voice that was mixed with a tone of coquettishness. She seemed to be annoyed and resentful at the same time. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the man with the stiff expression. He didn't miss the sudden twitch of his eyelids.
As a public relations manager, she had worked her way through the men, and she was adept at dealing with them.
Ma Wen's breath froze. He frowned slightly, as if he found it difficult to reply, "This …"
"I knew you were a blockhead, but it's fine if you don't want to say it." Su Rui angrily turned her face away and continued to read her documents.
"I'm sorry Miss Su, don't be angry." Marvin looked at her levelly, at a loss as to what to do with the reproach in her eyes. He had never come into contact with women before, so he did not know how to respond to their coquettish and petty emotions.
She slipped off the sofa and threw herself into Marvin's arms, pressing him down against her chest, pressing her eyelashes against his lashes. Her lips were only a few millimeters away from her mouth, and she was on the verge of sticking to him.
The fragrance of the shower gel still lingered on her body, making Marvin feel dizzy and at a loss. He could only try his best to support her soft body so that she wouldn't fall to the ground and hurt herself.
Su Rui's face was flushed red as she frantically climbed up from his body. However, because of the pain from the chain knocking against her wrist, she fell back into his embrace, unable to get up again.
"My wrist hurts." Su Rui frowned, her face full of grievance.
Marvin's breath tightened, and he didn't know where to put his hands. His face had long since turned red, turning the color of a pig's liver. Such a beautiful creature that constantly rubbed against his skin, causing him, who was usually cold and rational, to slightly panic.
"Hurry and pick me up, what are you doing?" Suri glared at him in mock indignation, the scent of her mouth blowing into his ear.
A shiver ran through Marvin's body. He quickly climbed onto her slim and soft waist, picked her up, and put her back on the sofa.
"Right... I'm sorry, Miss Su, I didn't mean to. " Marvin stuttered, unable to speak.
He had never dared to intersect so much with Suri, had not even dared to look her in the eye, though he had always thought of her as disconcerting.
Su Rui began to sob, her wronged expression causing people to feel pity for her. "How would I have the face to meet Chen in the future? I don't know whether he has a new pet or not, but he has already made up his mind to leave me. "Sob, sob, sob, sob …"
Su Rui intentionally or unintentionally leaned on Ma Wen, crying until he was at a loss for what to do. At last, there were other complicated expressions on his face.
Su Rui saw the situation and chased after him, crying even more miserably, "I want to confess to Chen my mistake today, and then... "Then I'll die." She looked through her fingers at every slight change in Marvin's expression.
Marvin pulled out a few tissues and held them out to her. He struggled for a long time, his expression pained. In the end, he was still unable to defeat her tearful attack, so he said a few words.
"I know that the Boss bought two pieces of jewelry yesterday, but I don't know anything else."
Su Rui gradually stopped crying and took a tissue to wipe her tears away.
"Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you." Did Chen tell you to come here just to give me a present? " When she tried to touch her wrist, she discovered that her wrist had been knocked so hard that it had caved in. She was in so much pain that her face contorted. "My wrist was twisted, help me massage."
Ma Wen's originally stiff face turned red. He slowly pressed the slender wrist in his palm, then turned his head, not daring to look her in the eyes.
"The Boss wants me to tell you. On the Christmas Eve next Saturday, Ling Qi Group's opening ceremony will be held in the restaurant. The press conference will be held in the lobby of the first floor."
Su Rui's heart chilled and her expression changed. Although she didn't know what Ling Chen was doing, she had a vague idea that what he did must not be seen in public. Last time, they said that the consortium had transformed into a serious businessman.
"Go back and help me tell your Boss. I've already prepared the plan. I guarantee that there will be a perfect and grand ceremony that day, so he can be at ease." Su Rui raised her eyebrows and released a few waves.
She leaned back in her chair, scaring Ma Wen, who was sitting behind her, out of his wits. "Miss Su, rest well. I'll bring your message to our Boss." Then he ran out of the apartment.
Su Rui laughed out loud until all the smiles froze on her face. Finally, they turned into a flash of ruthlessness that disappeared into the deepest part of her eyes.
Marvin got into the car, his heart still pounding. Su Rui was like a thousand-year-old fox demon that had almost left him, a fool, a bone to eat.
He reached for the safety belt and found that he was thoroughly drenched in sweat and sticky. He shook his head with all his might and tossed aside the image of chaos in his mind. Driving away to the Consortium's old site, he had more important things to do.
After lunch, Jane Fan was in a beautiful mood as she followed Ling Chen to Carlo Studio, which was located in the center of the city.
The Xihua Building had gathered the design rooms and office areas of most of the world's top brands. Carlo was located at the top floor of the Xihua Building, occupying an entire floor area. It was sufficient to show his fame and strength.
There were several well-dressed women waiting outside the work room. Ling Chen led Jane Fan inside, and the moment they entered, they were led to Carlo's private office.
"Young Master Chen, long time no see. What brought you here today?" Carlo teased in fluent Chinese. The proverbs seemed to have a comic effect in his mouth.
Ling Chen put one hand into his pocket and held onto Jian Fan with the other. His lips curled up into a faint smile that seemed intimate yet distant. His entire aura was extremely powerful, causing people to have no choice but to look up at him.
"Master Carlo, this is my fiancee, Jane. I hope you can design a dress suitable for her to be the center of attention."
Carlo's eyes fell on Jane Fan, he didn't hide the amazement in his eyes. He bent over and held Jane Fan's hand, giving her a polite kiss.
"It's an honor to serve such a beautiful lady. She's very similar to your mother. " Carol exclaimed. He had served Mrs. Ling when he was still in England.
Ling Chen's face turned cold as he looked into Jane Fan's eyes. The atmosphere suddenly turned cold, even the surrounding air seemed to have frozen.
Carlo realized that he had misspoken and changed the topic. "I wonder what kind of event is it that Young Master Chen brought Miss Jane to attend?"
Jian Fan pretended not to look away. Only then did Ling Chen regain his composure, "This is naturally the first time my fiancée's opening ceremony has been announced to the public."
"Understood." Carlo nodded in understanding, and started to use his eyes to look up and down Jane Fan's body and temperament.
He shook his head, then nodded, one hand on his chin, his face twisted.
Jian Fan was terrified by his gaze. He moved a little and hid inside Ling Chen's coat.
"Sigh, have you seen enough?" Ling Chen took the opportunity to embrace her tightly, and impatiently stopped Carlo's strange gaze.
"I've designed a new Chinese cheongsam, and I think it's for Miss Jane. It's this retro that's filled with the feeling of fashion, this is your mother's style. "Young Master Chen …" Carlo raised his eyes, indicating that he had no other choice.
Ling Chen let out a heavy sigh, rolled his eyes and patted Jian Fan's shoulder, "Go and try." If she didn't wear it, there would still be others who would wear it. The more she cared, the more flaws she would reveal.
Jane Fan obediently went into the locker room. His assistant took a small, well-designed suit and followed him inside.
Ling Chen sat down in Carlo's chair and glared at him, tapping his fingers on the crystal table rhythmically.
Carlo shrugged and went back to his messy desk. He was telling the truth. He would not beat around the bush.
Seeing that he could not do it, Ling Chen quickly whispered something into his ear before Jian Fan came out.
The door to the locker room opened, and Jane Fan walked out, dressed in a tight qipao. The fashionable design of the deep V-neck collar completely broke through the conservative old little collar, and the close-fitting cut perfectly outlined her curves. The skirt-dress design broke through the limits of the traditional cheongsam, revealing her long and slender legs, attracting every man's attention.
