Chapter 32: Too Much Sweetness (4)

Her designs were unique and original. It followed heritage, yet kept up with trends.

People of any age will love it.

With this, the competition came to a close.

Ji Qingying went backstage with the trophy in her hand.

The models had also changed and intended to leave the stage.

But the top three designers couldn't leave just yet.

Ji Qingying accepted everyone's congratulations and thanked them with a smile.

After a while, Ji Qingying asked, "Can we go now?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Chief Cheng came out from the other side and looked at her with a laugh, "So anxious?"

Ji Qingying smiled shyly, "Is there anything else?"

Chief Cheng nodded, smiled, and said, "Someone wants to buy this evening dress of yours, what do you think?"

"Huh?"

Ji Qingying was silent for a while, "Now?"

Chief Cheng nodded and looked at her, "Are you in some kind of hurry?"

Ji Qingying smiled shyly again, "Kinda."

Chief Chengs brows rose and asked with a smile again, "Then let's have a meal together?"

It will already be too late in the evening if she went for a meal.

Ji Qingying shook her head, "Dinner will not be necessary."

She thought for a moment and asked, "Who is the buyer?"

Chief Cheng couldn't help but smile, "I'll have the person in question come over and talk with you? Meanwhile, I'll talk to the other two designers first."

"Okay."

The one who wanted to buy Ji Qingying's cheongsam evening dress was a well-known movie queen in the entertainment field.

This person had worked with Yan Quizhi, so they were good people.

They had a good conversation. The works designed by Ji Qingying were not the kind to just be kept and treasured.

She liked people who appreciated them and she would sell it as long as it fit her eyes and was destined to be suitable for the buyer.

Their conversation went very smoothly.

By the time Ji Qingying finished talking with the buyer and Chief Cheng, it was already 6 pm.

"You really don't want to enter Sanqing?"

Chief Cheng looked at her puzzled, "There will be better room for development when you enter the company, even our President Ye is very optimistic regarding your work."

Ji Qingying shook her head without hesitation.

"I can't."

She thanked, "I thank you Chief Cheng and President Ye for your appreciation."

Mr. Cheng smiled helplessly.

Patting her shoulder he said, "Then we'll work together again sometime. I look forward to seeing more of your excellent designs in the future."

"Thank you."

It was already dark outside.

There was the afterglow of the setting sun that was hanging in the sky and slowly going down.

Ji Qingying glanced at the sky, then looked at her surroundings.

It was pretty lively a few hours ago, but not so much now.

She looked around but didn't see anyone familiar.

Ji Qingying pursed her lips and tapped her phone to have a look.

There was a message from Chen Xinyu and Rongxue on it, saying that they went home and were waiting for her to celebrate.

Ji Qingying looked and replied with her head down, [You guys are so heartless, why don't you wait for me so we can go back together later.]

Chen Xinyu: [?]

Rongxue: [???]

Ji Qingying: []

The screen was filled with question marks.

She did not know why but she exited the chat, slid down, and stared at Fu Yanzhi's WeChat avatar for a while.

Fu Yanzhi had not sent her any message, not even a congratulations.

Ji Qingying was frustrated. Not far from her a person was silently standing while wearing a white shirt with black pants and an ice cream in his hand.

This is too indifferent. He had even agreed to let her be the only person who could chase him.

Ji Qingying stared at her screen while typing with her fingers then deleted what she wrote again.

She wasnt sure what to send exactly.

After considering some more she turned off the screen.

As soon as she closed her phone a familiar voice piqued up from beside her, "Why didn't you send it?"

Ji Qingying froze. As soon as she turned her head, she saw the person she had been longing for.

The evening sunset glowed against his elegant eyebrows as he stood upright, "You did not leave?"

Fu Yanzhi lowered his gaze to look at her eyes, handed her the ice cream in his hand, and calmly stated, "I'm afraid that if I left, someone would cry."

Ji Qingying was stumped for words, staring at the ice cream she received in her hand and said, "I won't."

"Hmm."

The tone in Fu Yanzhi's voice had more than a hint of indulgence and doting, "Good, I knew you won't."

Ji Qingying: ""

Why did it feel like hes coaxing a child?

She held up the ice cream in her hand and looked at him, "You just went to buy ice cream?"

"Hmm."

Fu Yanzhi said, "I ran into your friend when I came out."

He said lightly, "She said you used to buy an ice cream after winning an award to simply celebrate."

Ji Qingying nodded her head.

She lowered her head and had a lick, whispering, "That was before, I haven't bought an ice cream for a long time."

"Why."

Huh?

Ji Qingying froze, she followed Fu Yanzhis gaze and suddenly smiled.

"You meant the ice cream, right?"

Fu Yanzhi nodded his head.

Ji Qingying thought about it then replied "Because I haven't won an award for a long time. When I was in Jiangcheng, Xiao Shuang and Rongxue didn't know I had this habit either, so even if a good one came out, they wouldn't buy it for me. I would forget it myself."

When she was in the university, Chen Xingyu and Chilu, would buy one for her.

The three would often come together to share the fruits of victory and even if she forgot about it, they would remind her. Of the three, someone would always remember.

Saying that, she smiled, held up the one in her hand, and said, "So thank you, Dr. Fu, the ice cream is delicious."

Fu Yanzhi lowered his eyes and stared at her smiling face for a moment before he looked away, "Mm."

Ji Qingying ate a few bites, then said as she thought about something important, "So."

She looked straight at Fu Yanzhi and asked bluntly, "After you heard from Xinyu, you bought me ice cream?"

Fu Yanzhi looked at her eyes.

"Reward."

"Then I'll give it back to you."

Ji Qingying quickly added, "I want other rewards."

Fu Yanzhi lost his smile, his fingers brushed against her cheek as he whispered, "Eat."

"That "

"There."

Fu Yanzhi asked, "What do you want?"

At his words, Ji Qingying's eyes lit up.

"Can I ask for anything I want?"

Fu Yanzhi didn't say anything and only looked deeply at her.

Ji Qingying thought for a while, then suddenly lifted the ice cream towards him.

Fu Yanzhi didnt understand what she was doing so he looked at her.

Ji Qingying arched her eyebrows and asked, "Want to try a bite?"

"Is this the reward you want?"

"No."

Ji Qingying shook her head arrogantly, "I just want to share my victory with you."

Fu Yanzhi: ""

"Try it?"

Ji Qingying smiled and said, "Dr. Fu, the ice cream you bought is good. Try it."

Fu Yanzhi lowered his eyes and looked at the ice cream she had bitten into. He didn't move.

Ji Qingying looked at his difficult expression and puffed out into a smile.

"Well, I won't give you a hard time."

She smiled and just brought it back to her mouth.

Fu Yanzhi suddenly bent down and took a bite of the ice cream in her hand.

Ji Qingying froze.

She watched him slowly straighten up then wipe his thumb over the lips touched by the ice cream as he said faintly, "Yeah, it is good."

The author has something to say:

Beauty Ji: You really didn't mean anything?

Dr. Fu: Didn't you tell me to eat it???!!!
