After Yin Qian's righteous words, the popularity of the scandal quickly cooled down. No one was interested in discussing such a topic anymore. This was because Jie Lin, who was frequently exposed in the mass media as Chu Yuhu's future daughter-in-law, had attracted more people to pursue and interview her.
Everyone in the entertainment industry was whispering that the wedding of the person in charge of the Swift Eagle Corporation was approaching.
Chu Yuhu had repeatedly expressed in the media that he was really going to retire. What he meant was that if Chu Ying and Jie Lin really settled down, he would officially retire and hand over the entire Swift Eagle Corporation to Chu Ying.
When Yin Qian was faced with the insinuations of the artistes who came to buy clothes, she always had an aloof attitude. She collected her thoughts and focused on preparing for her design exhibition.
Zhao Ting had already appeared, but Yin Qian did not announce it to the public. They quietly ended the construction of the Zhao Corporation and registered the land under Zhao Ting's name. She also asked Zhao Ting for another 30 million yuan to repay the underground money house. Her heart was as still as water. Her relationship with Chu Ying would end with the end of the design exhibition.
She returned to her simple life. The busy design exhibition made her temporarily forget the damage caused by that underground relationship.
"Sophia, Miss Saixue called and said that the fitting time can be changed to after seven o'clock in the evening?”Her assistant asked her from behind the counter.
"Tell her that I can wait for her at any time.”
Although there was a brief unhappiness between her and Saixue, it was undeniable that Saixue was indeed unique in the modeling industry. Her agile body language could perfectly match the designer's clothing. Therefore, Yin Qian specially visited her, hoping that she would agree to play an important role in the opening.
Sai Xue threw away her prejudice and agreed straightforwardly. To her, Yin Qian was no longer a love rival. She was just like her, someone who needed to get rid of Chu Ying's shadow as soon as possible and stand up again. The result of her fierce fight with Yin Qian was only to speed up Chu Ying's irreversible marriage. The beneficiary was neither her nor Yin Qian, but Jie Lin who came back from abroad to take advantage of him. She, Yin Qian, and Sun Ruozhang had become good friends who talked about everything. They would often meet at a restaurant for coffee and cheer each other on.
"Sophia, Mr. Chu hasn't come over to try on the clothes yet. Do you want me to call him and make an appointment?”the assistant asked again.
Yin Qian's hands that were tidying up her clothes stopped. She should have let him come earlier, but she kept avoiding him in her heart, hoping to drag it out until the last moment.
"No need. I'll call him myself.”She sighed lightly. She had to face what she had to face.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Ying appeared in Yin Qian's shop on time. He was a little haggard, but his eyes were shining with excitement. Yin Qian finally took the initiative to call him. God knew how difficult it was to compete with her in endurance and not ask about each other.
He immediately saw Yin Qian in the corner with her head lowered as she tidied up the clothes on the rack. Her slender back came into his sight, and he could almost smell the familiar and unique fresh scent that belonged to her.
Yin Qian didn't turn around, but the oppressive pressure had already predicted Chu Ying's arrival. She tried her best to remain calm, but her heart still throbbed. She tried hard to control her unstable breathing and turned to face him before he could get close.
"Thank you for taking the time to try on the clothes." Her tone was calm as she handed him the clothes she had prepared earlier and pointed out where he should change. "Please change here."
The heat in Chu Ying's eyes was suddenly extinguished by her cold tone. His heart tightened and he glared at her angrily. Her eyes clearly had the same unbearable longing as his, but why did her words seem colder than ice?
He had enough of this torture and bitterly said,"Scarlet, we…"
"There are clothes racks in the changing room to hang the clothes you took off. After you change out, we'll discuss the details of the show.”She cut him off.
" You…" He gritted his teeth and stared at her, but she turned around and pretended to be busy, ignoring him.
"I'm sorry." She turned her back to him and said coldly," I believe there are still many important things waiting for you to go back and deal with. I'm the same, so let's not waste time."”
Chu Ying became even angrier when he heard this, but he remained calm for the time being. He grabbed his clothes and entered the changing room.
"Miss Yin, I think you must come in and take a look at the way I'm dressed, right?”he shouted from the locker room.
She hesitated. Her spacious dressing room was big enough for two people, but she didn't want to have the chance to be alone with him.
"Hurry up, okay?" He urged impatiently," You also know that there are still many things waiting for me to go back and deal with.”
She sighed, put down the clothes in her hands, and opened the door to enter the changing room.
"You!" She lowered her eyes in embarrassment. He was only wearing his underwear as he leaned against the mirror wall and waited for her to come in.
" You haven't changed at all..." she complained in a low voice. The four mirror walls completely showed his naked body from all angles. In addition, the floor was also made of mirror bricks, so she almost couldn't avoid it.
"What's wrong?" He looked at her teasingly." It's not like you haven't seen my body before.”
The space in the locker room made the two of them almost squeezed together, which made him secretly happy.
She blushed as she searched for the clothes she had just given him.
"Behind me." he said cunningly.
This meant that she had to reach her hand behind his back, and it was inevitable that she would touch his skin.
"Can…can you bring it over yourself?”
"It's so crowded that my hands don't have any space to move.”
"Then why did you call me in!" She tried her best to suppress her arrogant tone.
"You invited me here, didn't you? This is my first time being a model, so there are always a lot of things I don't understand. After I took off my clothes, I remembered that I forgot to ask you how to wear these things, so my intuition called you in!”he said shamelessly.
"You…"
"I want you to help me put it on, or we'll waste time here.”He said stubbornly.
She bit her lower lip and braced herself to reach behind him and touch his waist. She felt his muscles tighten, and she heard a rough gasp from above.
She moved up his back and successfully reached for the clothes hanging on the mirror wall. Just as she was about to pull them off, she realized that his domineering back was pressing against her hand, preventing her from reaching out.
"I missed you so much." he said hoarsely.
"Don't say anymore." She said in pain.
"Why?" His hand stopped on her shoulder first, then moved to her neck, and then held her face that she had been avoiding. "Look at me." he ordered.
She looked at him bitterly, tears rolling in her eyes.
"The storm is over. What good is it for us to persist? Don't you miss me? Scarlet…"
He sighed softly, and his lips reluctantly pried open her tightly clenched lips. "I'm sorry. Can you forgive me? I am indeed selfish and tyrannical, but I love you…"
She was happy and sad at the same time. She could not help but cry out loud. Her hands, which had already been freed, wrapped around his neck.
"I miss you, Scarlet…"”
" Eagle... I..." She was about to say something when she was interrupted by a soft voice.
"May I ask if Mr. Chu is here for a fitting?”
"Yes, may I ask…"
"I'm Jelin, Chu Ying's fiancée.”she said gently.
Fiancée! The boiling emotions in Yin Qian's heart quickly cooled down. She pushed Chu Ying away, and anger rushed to her head.
"Don't even think about me being your secret lover for the rest of my life!”With that, she pushed the door open and left before Chu Ying could react.
She tried to calm herself down as she walked around the corner from the store entrance to the changing room.
" May I ask..." Serin was gentle and reasonable as she asked cautiously.
"Mr. Chu is still changing inside. Could you please wait a little longer?”
Jie Lin looked at the changing room uneasily and then looked at Yin Qian, who seemed a little embarrassed.
Chu Ying, who had changed his clothes, pushed the door open with an unhappy expression. The fitting golden suit made him look even more dazzling.
He looked at Yin Qian unforgivingly before turning to Jie Lin impatiently.
"What's the matter?"
"Uh…your father wanted me to tell you that he's having dinner with Representative Shen tonight.”Gerin mumbled.
"No!" He said angrily and approached Yin Qian, but she avoided him agilely.
" Then, then..." Zelin stammered. The beautiful her was obviously not quick-witted enough. She couldn't tell that Chu Ying's emotions were in a tense state.
"Scarlet, listen to me…"
Yin Qian turned around and interrupted him coldly," Mr. Chu, I think that's enough."”She professionally touched the tightness of the clothes on his body without any emotion. "I'm sorry to trouble you to make a trip. You can go in and change.”
His heart turned cold, and his gaze was like a sharp sword as he questioned angrily,"Do you want to do this?"
She stubbornly lowered her eyes and said nothing.
"Good!" He spat out angrily,"Then let's stop here!”
He quickly entered the changing room. The sound of the door slamming shook the entire space. After he came out, he threw the clothes to Yin Qian and turned to leave angrily.
The temperature in January was as low as usual. Yin Qian's belated fashion design conference was sponsored by the Swift Eagle Group and became the focus of everyone's attention. The entrance decorated with the festive atmosphere was already filled with people who wanted to watch. Many people came with a curious attitude. How could a newcomer who was not familiar with the fashion industry win the favor of the Swift Eagle Group and support her for her press conference?
Of course, many people couldn't help but think of the vague relationship between Yin Qian and Chu Ying, the person in charge of the Swift Eagle Corporation. However, this personal factor alone was not enough to attract famous people to come and watch. Sun Ruozhang's performance in the drama was more prominent than before her comeback. The designers she used in front of and behind the scenes also received relatively more attention. She abandoned her past love for Chanel and boldly used the creativity of newcomers. Her outstanding acting skills and refreshing clothes also attracted attention from all parties.
The noisy scene quieted down when the lights on the runway suddenly lit up. The lead model, Sai Xue, walked out confidently. She appeared in front of the spotlight in a bold, exaggerated, and radiant outfit, causing a wave of amazement from the audience. Her slender figure and perfect body language combined with her clothes, giving the conference a beautiful start.
Yin Qian infused her own elegance into the popular luxury style. In the rich colors and materials, she appropriately conveyed her ideas. She was elegant and gorgeous, but she did not lose her restraint. She had the dignity and style of an orthodox royal family.
The finale was Chu Ying, who everyone was looking forward to. He was also the focus of everyone's viewing tonight. However, the designer seemed to be deliberately keeping people in suspense. After the last female model walked into the back of the runway, the figure that everyone expected did not appear immediately. Instead, the music continued to play. The people below the stage whispered, and everyone stopped in their own imagination.
Suddenly, the music quieted down. Chu Ying appeared in the middle of the runway with his back to the audience. His silent figure made the audience hold their breath. He slowly turned around, wearing a golden, mafia-style long coat. He appeared perfectly in front of everyone. His dazzling clothes, coupled with his sexy eyes and his aloof and melancholic temperament, made the spotlights below the stage flicker continuously.
He strode forward arrogantly and confidently as if there was no one else around. His cold expression was like a demon in the dark. When he reached the end of the runway, he deliberately stopped and scanned the audience with his eyes, making the audience completely convinced by his sexy and charming demeanor.
As if he had enjoyed enough of the crowd's admiring gazes, he began to walk back. He took off his long golden coat, which hid an absolutely stunning and sturdy figure. The designer had reduced the fabric as much as possible, making the pure white clothes almost a part of his skin. He skillfully turned around to face the crowd. His trained muscles almost popped out of his tights. The golden pants below his waist had a low-rise design, revealing a stretch of abdominal muscles between his clothes and pants.
When the corners of his mouth curled into a smile, he instantly turned from a devil into a shy big boy, and the whole place was bathed in a spring breeze. When his figure finally disappeared at the end of the stage, there were waves of reluctant sighs from the audience.
Another wave of strange darkness easily controlled the commotion caused by Chu Ying. Then, all the lights instantly lit up. Chu Ying held Yin Qian's hand and walked out of the runway surrounded by the models. There was a warm applause from the audience.
Yin Qian nodded elegantly at the crowd. Sun Ruozhang personally went up to present the flowers. Then, it was rumored that Yin Qian's husband, Zhao Ting, unexpectedly appeared.
He generously hugged Yin Qian and announced the fact that Yin Qian was single in front of the media. He also thanked her for her help and threw another shocking bomb into the already climax of the press conference.
At the party after the meeting, Yin Qian calmly revealed a piece of regretful news when she faced the design invitations from all sides.
"I will be going to Japan to continue my studies. I won't be returning to Taiwan for the time being.”
On the other side, Chu Ying, who heard this news, gritted his teeth and did not say a word.
"Did you hear that, Chu Ying?" Sun Ruozhang said to him casually,""People who are stubborn in the face of love are actually the most foolish people. You and Yin Qian are both the same.”
As usual, it was drizzling in the cold winter weather.
With her light luggage, Yin Qian arrived at the international airport and prepared to take a flight.
There was nothing to miss…She sat on a chair in the hall and lowered her head slightly, thinking about her future.
Suddenly, two black shadows enveloped her. She looked up and saw two black figures standing on her left and right.
"Miss Yin Qian?" One of them suddenly spat out this sentence.
She did not intend to stand up. This was an international airport, so there was no need to worry about her safety. "Yes."
"Our boss has invited you."
"Boss?" She frowned. She didn't have any dealings with any gangs! If one had to say that there was, it would be the underground money house's…Chu Ying.
He bent down slightly and whispered," You haven't repaid the money you owe us. Boss wants us to not let you leave no matter what."”
What was that? Her almond-shaped eyes widened. "Is he kidding? I've already transferred 30 million into his account!”
"Miss." Another person reminded her with a fake smile," Don't forget that you borrowed the money from an underground money house. With interest, you have to pay us back the interest for the past few months in addition to the 30 million yuan. According to daily compound interest, it's nearly 4 million yuan. If you don't pay the interest, you'll leave. Of course, our boss has to invite you back and explain it to him!”
"What did you say?" She was shocked." What kind of interest calculation is this?”
"Usury!" He reminded her calmly. "The algorithm of usury! If you have the guts to borrow money from a bank, you should know that we specialize in usury.”
" But…but I…" She wanted to say that she had agreed to sleep with the boss to offset the interest! However, on second thought, she could not shout like this in public, so she swallowed her words.
"I think if you have anything to say, you'd better go back and explain it to our boss personally. We're also following orders. The higher-ups said that unless you take out four million yuan in cash immediately, they won't let you go abroad!”
" This…" She was furious. Chu Ying actually went back on his word. He had clearly promised her that he would not pursue interest, but now he was playing this trick. He knew that she did not have any cash on hand, but he still did this. What was his intention?
"I won't go with you." She looked at the police not far away and was about to call for help.
"Miss, it's useless." They kindly reminded her," We have an IOU signed by you. Even if you go to court, you have to pay up.”
Her heart turned cold, and she had no choice but to suppress her anger. It seemed that she would not be able to leave the country today. Alright then! Since that was the case, she might as well raise her spirits and reason with Chu Ying.
They didn't bring her back to the dark apartment that they had expected. Instead, they drove straight to the Swift Eagle Building and brought her to Chu Ying's residence. They pushed the door open to let her in and then quickly left.
She had been here before. The golden splendor here was still amazing, but she was not in the mood to appreciate it. She saw Chu Ying's back facing her in front of the glass window and could not help but burn with anger.
"What do you mean?" She stopped a step away from him and shouted angrily at him.
He turned around and sat down on the sofa. "So you can lose your temper too. I thought you were so elegant that you didn't know what anger was!”
" You…" She had no choice but to follow him to the sofa. "Tell me, what's with the four million?”
"It's only right and proper to pay back what you owe, isn't it?”
" But we clearly agreed that as long as you and I…you and I…" Her face was slightly red and she could not continue.
"What about you and me?" He mischievously waited for her to finish.
She took a deep breath and asked gently,"You personally promised not to pursue interest. How can you go back on your word?”
"Everything requires evidence. How can you prove that I promised you not to pursue it?”
" You…" Her face turned green with anger. How could he be so capricious?
"Alright, even if I don't have evidence, I've done it with you many times…That should be enough, right?”
He smiled sinisterly. She finally remembered this. "That…it can be offset, but it's not enough!”
Before she could heave a sigh of relief, she was immediately infuriated by his words. "What did you say? What do you mean by not enough?"
"If I say it's not enough, it's not enough!" he said shamelessly.
"You, why are you so shameless!”She was so angry that she didn't know what to say.
He stood up and approached her without warning. "I'm a scoundrel! What you owe me, I want you to repay it with your entire life.”
"What?"
"Forever!" he repeated firmly. "You must use your entire life to pay me back.”
"Don't even think about me being your…"
"Be my wife!" He continued," Be the wife of the chairman of the Swift Eagle Corporation and be my wife. This is what you have to pay me back!”
" This…" Her entire body trembled in disbelief.
"You won't be able to get rid of me for the rest of your life.”
" You…" Tears of joy flowed down her face silently." Who said that? How can you be so shameless, so arrogant, so arrogant, so…"
Her next words were completely swallowed by Chu Ying's passionate kiss.
When they were finally willing to let go of each other, Yin Qian remembered the terrifying Chu Yuhu.
"Where's your father? He won't allow you to do this."
"Of course! He threw a big tantrum and smashed many of my beloved collections. In the end, he had no choice but to give in. Just last night, he took Gerin back to Australia in a huff.”
When he said that, Yin Qian noticed the items scattered all over the ground. It seemed that her father's temper was not to be trifled with.
"Then…"
"You have to feel wronged." He held her shoulders and pleaded,"Come with me to Australia and invite him back to host our wedding.”
" Wedding…" She was half happy and half worried.
"Don't worry, he's a bit stubborn, but we can still communicate with him. As long as we're willing to spend more time, he'll soften up.”
She nodded.
"I remember you said before that my place lacks femininity. It just so happens that it has been destroyed. You have to use your brain to think about how to re-design it!”
She looked around and began to construct a blueprint in her mind. However, she was quickly interrupted by Chu Ying's unruly hand.
"Before that, you have to pay me the interest for the next few weeks.”He kissed her as he pulled her into the room." I don't have the patience to wait any longer…"
" Mm…" She kissed him back sweetly." Scoundrel Boss, I'll pay you back double…"
The door closed silently. The eagle on the table in the living room shone with a dazzling and confident glow under the sunlight!#
