"Are you still mad at me?"
Seeing that Wen Yin had no intention of responding to him, Shao Yinan was the first to break the silence.
"No."
Thinking of the hickey on the back of her neck that hadn't faded yet, Wen Yin replied stiffly.
"I'm not going to stoop to the level of a dog."
As Wen Yin spoke, the next second she felt her palm being grabbed and something cold and plastic being placed in it.
She looked down and saw the strawberry gummy bears she loved lying quietly in her palm.
Seeing the surprise in her eyes, Shao Yinan peeled a gummy bear and held it to Wen Yin's lips.
"So don't be mad at the gummy bears at least?"
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
Wen Yin silently bit the gummy bear, then stubbornly said,
"Just because I ate your gummy bear doesn't mean I forgive you.
I won't forgive you until the hickey fades."
Mentioning this embarrassing incident, Wen Yin couldn't help but lower her voice.
Shao Yinan was charmed by her cute look and couldn't help but pinch Wen Yin's cheek.
But his hand was swatted away.
"Jiujiu spent a lot of effort finding a stylist to do my makeup. Don't mess it up."
Shao Yinan knew from the moment he saw her that tonight's look must have taken a lot of effort.
"So where did this evening gown come from?"
Shao Yinan had seen a lot of Wen Yin's design materials in the past.
So he could tell at a glance that this wasn't a dress from any brand.
"Did you design it yourself in the studio?"
After seeing her finish the gummy bear, Shao Yinan handed her a glass of juice.
Wen Yin took a sip and said,
"Jiujiu designed it. She said she wanted to give me a surprise."
A hint of surprise flashed across Shao Yinan's eyes.
"I didn't expect her to have grown so much."
He remembered that when he was at Shaohua, Jiujiu was just an unknown junior designer.
The products she designed had no distinctiveness, but this design was undoubtedly a success.
It brought out all of Wen Yin's advantages, and the meticulous stitching and perfect fit were remarkable.
"I think I know why you promoted her to design director."
Wen Yin met his eyes, and then they both smiled knowingly.
"However, Shaohua is also participating in tonight's press conference. Didn't you know?"
Mentioning this company, Shao Yinan's eyes showed no emotion, and his face remained expressionless.
"I know."
Shao Yinan had to admit that Shao Yuanjia was really digging his own grave.
Shaohua was clearly on a downward trend, but he still wanted to cooperate with several leading companies, which would only expose the flaws in Shaohua's designs.
He couldn't understand how stupid Shao Yuanjia was to come up with such a plan.
"But I didn't expect Shao Yuanjia to be this stupid."
Wen Yin couldn't help but laugh, and the topic was quickly dropped.
The press conference was scheduled for 8 p.m., so there was still some time.
Since this press conference involved many brands, there were many young ladies from wealthy families in attendance, hoping to get the new products first.
At least making a reservation would be great.
Since the press conference hadn't started yet, they turned their attention to the evening gowns of others.
The strange competitive spirit of the wealthy young ladies resurfaced. They subtly sniped at each other while extolling the virtues of their own gowns.
But the next second, everyone's eyes were fixed on the same place.
The woman seemed to be the most dazzling presence at the banquet. Every frown and smile was captivating.
The light blue mermaid gown she wore was simply mesmerizing.
She looked like an innocent little mermaid who had accidentally strayed into the mortal world.
The natural coolness that Wen Yin exuded when she wasn't smiling was even more addictive.
"Whose new product is this?"
"Could it be that Wen Yin designed it herself?"
"My goodness, Wen Yin has such good taste. This one is from Caiyi. I have to say that every new product Caiyi launches always hits my aesthetic sweet spot."
Since Wen Yin started dating Shao Yinan, her popularity among the wealthy families had always been high.
So those young ladies recognized her at first sight.
"Even though Wen Yin has Shao Yinan's support, it's really not easy for her to create her own brand and reach this level."
"Exactly. I really want to ask Wen Yin which brand this new product is from."
"Are you stupid? She's a designer herself. It's possible that Wen Yin custom - made it for this press conference!"
Thanks to this young lady's reminder, everyone suddenly realized.
This light blue mermaid gown was truly eye - catching. Even though Wen Yin was standing in a corner, she could still feel the envious looks from others from time to time.
Wen Yin couldn't help but smile at Shao Yinan.
"I think I know how to describe to Jiujiu the success of this dress."
Shao Yinan also noticed that many people were looking at Wen Yin, and some of the looks were not so friendly.
So he tightened his grip on Wen Yin's waist, subtly asserting his claim.
After the last incident, their gazes became a bit more restrained.
They just took a quick, admiring look and then quickly averted their eyes.
Not long after, there was another commotion at the entrance.
Following the crowd's gazes, they saw Qi Siran enter in a bright red evening gown.
Gasps and exclamations could be heard from the crowd.
Wen Yin and Shao Yinan just casually shifted their gazes.
After all, Qi Siran used to appear in pure white dresses, and this time she boldly changed her style, so it was natural that she would attract a lot of praise.
The focus of the press conference quickly shifted to Qi Siran.
Qi Siran proudly raised her head and scanned the crowd.
She had hired a famous makeup artist today and spent a lot of time on her makeup. She no longer looked like a naive girl but exuded a mature and grand aura.
It seemed that her change this time was quite successful.
Thinking that Shao Yinan might also be here tonight, Qi Siran was eager to show herself.
Sure enough, after greeting others, Qi Siran's eyes fell on Shao Yinan in the distance.
But the woman beside Shao Yinan was really an eyesore.
The moment Qi Siran saw Wen Yin, she couldn't help but stop in her tracks.
She had to admit that Wen Yin was extremely beautiful tonight.
The natural coolness on her body blended perfectly with the light blue mermaid halter gown, leaving people in awe.
As a woman, Qi Siran had to admit that Wen Yin was beautiful.
But this was not an excuse for Wen Yin to steal Shao Yinan from her.
Qi Siran quickened her steps towards Shao Yinan, then squinted her eyes.
There was a hint of confusion in Qi Siran's eyes.
Which brand was this dress that Wen Yin was wearing?
As far as she knew, no high - end luxury brand had ever released such a dress.
Could it be a knock - off?
