Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Qingqian knew that her trip to Yu Mountain during the new year had delayed a lot of work. If she really let him watch her at home 24 hours a day, it would definitely affect her work.

“I’m not going to the company anymore. I’ll have a video conference every day and draw design drafts, alright?” Lin Qingqian compromised.

Jiang Yanshen reached out and patted her little head, as if rewarding her. “Be good. I’ll get Auntie to bring the computer and your drawings to the room.”

After a pause, he said worriedly, “Remember to wash your hands every time you finish drawing.”

Lin Qingqian smiled helplessly. “Do you think I’m a little kid!”

Only children would draw with their hands. Their fingers and face would be so dark if they did not wash their hands and wipe their faces.

Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips curled up but he did not explain and let her lie down for a while. He still had some work to deal with.

Lin Qingqian played with her phone obediently and let him go about his business.

Jiang Yanshen instructed the auntie to call him when dinner was ready. Then, he returned to the study to work remotely.

For a week, Lin Qingqian was in the Begonia Courtyard. The furthest she went was the washroom. Any place beyond the bedroom became a border.

Three meals a day were sent to the room by the auntie. Jiang Yanshen had been rather busy recently and could only accompany her in the morning and evening. He could not make it back in time for lunch.

After lying down for a week, Lin Qingqian felt like her entire body was about to fall apart. Fortunately, her work wasn’t delayed too much and she even drew many design drafts. As long as she made a few changes and adjustments, she could reproduce them.

Only Su Ying and Suisui had come to visit her this week. Lu Qinshang and the others had only called to express their concern.

Luo Tianxue and Lu Dongcheng had gone to the Maldives for the new year. When they returned and found out that Lin Qingqian was injured, they came over to show their concern.

In the end, Lin Qingqian was already better and could go to the company.

Lin Qingqian couldn’t help but praise, “Your legs are so slim.”

“Thank you for your praise!” Luo Tianxue said happily, “I haven’t gained any weight this year!”

Lin Qingqian: “Your weight didn’t grow, but if you show off your legs a few more times like this, be careful not to get rheumatoid arthritis when you get old. ”

Luo Tianxue curled her lips. “But I like to be beautiful. If I wear too much and are photographed by the media, I’ll be scolded for not having the self-awareness to be a female celebrity.”

The entertainment industry was so mean and realistic to female celebrities. As long as a female celebrity wore a bit more clothes, she would be said to not have the self-awareness of a female celebrity. They would say that she isn’t beautiful anymore, or she had gained weight.

It seemed like it was against the law for female celebrities to gain weight.

Lin Qingqian shook her head helplessly. She was also helpless against the atmosphere of the entertainment industry.

“By the way, guess what gift I brought you?” Luo Tianxue suddenly remembered something serious.

“What?” Lin Qingqian asked.

Luo Tianxue took out a publicity flyer from her limited edition bag and handed it to her.

Lin Qingqian took it suspiciously and saw the publicity title: The scenery of my hometown.

Looking down, it turned out to be a fashion design competition organized by S.T. The theme was the scenery of their hometown.

“There’s no need for me to introduce S.T. to you. Your idol, L, emerged from this competition!” Luo Tianxue said excitedly, “This competition is global. There’s no nationality restriction. Moreover, the champion can work with S.T. to collaborate on a joint series that will be promoted worldwide. I don’t need to tell you what this means?”

S.T. was a fashion company in Milan that involved various fields, such as skincare, cosmetics, clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, cosmetics, and so on.

They did everything related to fashion, and they were all top tier brands. They were publicly recognized luxury brands.

If they could cooperate with S.T to launch a joint series, the global promotion would be equivalent to promoting the designer’s personal brand internationally.

This was a rare opportunity for Lin Qingqian.

Except—

“This is a global competition. Even if there aren’t thousands, there will still be tens of thousands of designers fighting for it.”

There were many designers in the country who were more outstanding and experienced than her. Even if she signed up to participate, she might not be selected, let alone become the champion.

“Therefore, they want an independently designed work in the first round of registration. After being selected, the next round will be a domestic competition. There will be no more than three designers from each nationality. In the end, only 20 people will be able to go to Milan to participate in the quarter-finals. There will be 10 people in the semi-finals, and there will be five people in the final round. The competition will be very cruel.”

Luo Tianxue stared at her expectantly. “How is it? Do you dare to participate?” Although Lin Qingqian was not very confident, she would be too useless if she did not even try.

“Thank you, I’ll accept this gift.” She placed the publicity booklet in the drawer.

Luo Tianxue said happily, “I knew you wouldn’t be afraid. I’ll be your model when the time comes!”

After a pause, as if she knew what she was about to say, she added, “It’s free.” Lin Qingqian curved her lips. “Why do I feel that you want to use me to hype things up?”

Luo Tianxue rested her chin on her hands and smiled innocently. “What hype?

This is called cooperation. It’s mutually beneficial and win-win.”

“You should wait until I enter the semi-finals first.”

Luo Tianxue was even more confident than her. “I met the person-in-charge of this competition in the Maldives and received the flyer in advance. The competition won’t start until February. You still have more than a month to prepare. ”

Lin Qingqian tilted her head slightly, her bright eyes smiling as if she was saying, “Then I really have to thank you properly.”

Luo Tianxue still had to go back to deal with the jet lag and returned after sitting for a while.

Han Liubai walked in and asked, “Miss Luo, why are you looking for me?”

“S.T. has launched a global fashion design competition. She received the news in advance and informed me.” Lin Qingqian did not hide it from him. “By the way, have you ever thought of participating, Xiao Bai?”

“Me?” Han Liubai was stunned. The flyer in his pocket was quickly crumpled into a ball.

Lin Qingqian nodded. “I saw that there are no restrictions on men’s and women’s clothes in this competition. You’re also studying design, haven’t you thought of making your own independent brand?”

“I…” A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Han Liubai’s face. He hesitated and said, “I think it’s good to be a stylist.”

Seeing that he did not seem to be very interested, Lin Qingqian did not want to force him. “In any case, the official news of this competition will only be released in February. You still have time to consider.”

Han Liubai pursed his lips. “Alright, I’ll consider it. I’ll go out first.” “Aren’t you looking for me for something?” Lin Qingqian asked curiously.

“I forgot for a moment. I’ll look for you when I remember.” Han Liubai lowered his eyes to hide the unnaturalness in them.

Lin Qingqian nodded. “Alright.”

Han Liubai walked out of the office, took out the crumpled paper ball from his pocket, and threw it into the trash can.

At 11 PM, Lin Qingqian was still awake. When Jiang Yanshen returned, he saw her holding her iPad on the sofa and didn’t know what she was looking at.

“Why aren’t you resting yet?” As he walked over, he pulled off his tie and threw it on the sofa. He sat beside her and his gaze landed on the iPad screen.

Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at him and explained, “S.T is organizing a global fashion design!”

Jiang Yanshen immediately understood what she meant. “You want to participate?”

“This is a good opportunity to promote AIR and exchange art and culture. I want to try.” Lin Qingqian’s gaze landed on S.T.’s official website again.

Although she knew that S.T. was a big brand, because there were too many categories, she was not familiar with every style. Therefore, she wanted to take a look and do her homework in advance.

Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips curled up slightly. “You can definitely win the championship. ”

Lin Qingqian’s fingers paused as she swiped the page. She turned to look at him. “Are you so confident in me?”

“You’ve always been very outstanding.” Jiang Yanshen was not stingy with his praise. “Master is right. If not for me, you would have long become an internationally renowned design master.”

He was the one who used the identity of Madam Jiang to trap her life, causing her to waste three years of her life and lose the light and applause that originally belonged to her.

Lin Oinzaian’s slender evelashes fluttered as she said softlv, “I chose to marrv you back then. It has nothing to do with you.”

Jiang Yanshen’s fingertips landed on her earlobe and pinched it gently a few times. “I didn’t respect your career.”

At that time, he married Lin Qingqian. Because he felt that Grandma liked her and she was willing to listen to him, he could just marry her and leave her at home. There was no need to let her go out and show her face.

Actually, he also had a chauvinistic personality in his bones. He felt that women would be discriminated against and bullied when they went out to work. If she did not do well, they would embarrass him.

His priority was his reputation, not her life, not her thoughts.

Lin Qingqian curved her lips. “Why are we talking about the past again? Isn’t it good for us to be like this now? Let bygones be bygones!”

Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and kissed her lips, saying in a low voice, “Alright.”

“Hurry up and take a shower.” Lin Qingqian pushed him. “Do you want to eat something?”

“No need.” Jiang Yanshen got up to get his pajamas from the closet and went to take a shower.

When he came out, Lin Qingqian was still reading the information about S.T. Jiang Yanshen walked over. “Aren’t you going to sleep?”

Lin Qingqian said without looking up, “There’s still a little left. I’ll go after I finish reading it…”

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen took the iPad from her hand.

Lin Qingqian looked up at him innocently and helplessly.

Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly. “Your tailbone doesn’t hurt anymore?” Lin Qingqian: “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yanshen immediately bent down and carried her up. He turned around and walked to the bed. He said in a low and hoarse voice, “Since it doesn’t hurt anymore, I have to continue what I said before.”

“Ah?” Lin Qingqian’s slender arms wrapped around his neck, looking dumbfounded. “Continue with what?”

Jiang Yanshen carefully placed her on the big bed and leaned down to kiss her lips.

“Human bliss.” The two words disappeared between his lips.

The moonlight poured down on the world. There was only a dim sleep light on in the bedroom, and it gently sprinkled on the dark bed.

Jiang Yanshen suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at the woman lying beside him from the corner of his eye. He gently lifted the blanket and got off the bed. He picked up his fur home clothes and put them on before walking out of the bedroom.

When he went downstairs, the light outside the French window lit up. He stopped in his tracks and thought for a few seconds before walking out.

The cold wind was bone-chilling at night. Jiang Yanshen was wearing thin clothes and didn’t seem to know that it was cold. His cold eyes looked at the woman leaning against the car.

The woman held a slender cigarette between her fingers and took a puff.. She slowly exhaled a mouthful of smoke and greeted him with a smile, “Hello, Jiang

Yanshen…
