Chapter 169 - You’d Be Better off Withdrawing From the Competition!
M Country.
Mu Yichen leaned on the sofa. He held his phone in one hand and a glass of wine in the other as he listened to his little princess’ cute voice on the phone.
The piling depression in his heart during this period of time finally dissipated a little bit.
As expected, he was the crucial pillar of support of the family.
That woman and the little rascal at home seemed to have taken a liking in pissing him off. Even so, they had started missing him just a few days after he left.
Mu Yichen was just about to ask the little dumpling about how Luo Chenxi was recently.
The little dumpling ended up blurting everything out on her own.
Mu Yichen’s face instantly turned as dark as charcoal.
“What did you say? What handsome uncle? Did you say big sister went out to play with him until midnight?”
This woman was totally absurd!
Before he left, he was even willing to overlook past incidents and gave the project to the Luo Family.
Yet, instead of staying at home and reflecting on her mistakes, that d*mned woman actually went off to “play” with another man… until midnight!
Did he even exist as a husband in her heart?
The little dumpling pouted as she said, “Big sister doesn’t even pick Tang Tang up from kindergarten anymore! By the way, that uncle is really handsome!”
Mu Yichen’s expression turned even darker.
The little dumpling had always been obsessed with good looks ever since she was young. What was more, she was raised in an environment surrounded by good looking family members. Thus, if she described someone as being very handsome, that person was surely pretty good looking.
That was it! This girl must have gotten her obsession from her mother!
Mu Yichen would never forget how many times that woman had drooled from staring at his face!
“Daddy, Hurry up and come home already! I’ll share my sweet and sour fish with you! Since I already have tomato gravy fish as a better choice…”
The little dumpling babbled on.
However, Mu Yichen was no longer in the mood to continue listening.
After he half-heartedly ended the conversation with his daughter, he phoned his secretary to prepare a return flight tomorrow.
“D*mned woman, just wait and see how I’ll deal with you when I get back!”
…
Luo Chenxi walked behind the little dumpling in a state of mental defeat.
“Tang Tang, what did you just say to your daddy?”
The little dumpling turned around and stared at Luo Chenxi innocently with her big, round eyes. “Daddy asked if big sister has been a good girl, but no! Big sister has been a bad girl!”
Then, the little girl nodded her head thinking that she did a good job.
Luo Chenxi was rendered speechless. She pinched the little dumpling’s little face and said, “Don’t say ridiculous things to your daddy in the future, alright? Things like, a very handsome uncle, and coming home at midnight…”
“But the teacher told us that good boys and girls should be honest and not tell lies!” The little dumpling retorted righteously.
Luo Chenxi was speechless. She could not possibly teach the little dumpling to lie after all!
However, on the other hand, she clearly did nothing wrong!
So, why was she feeling a sense of guilt as if she was having an affair just because the little dumpling spilled her beans?
It must be an illusion, this was definitely an illusion!
…
Soon, the day of the Huafeng Competition finals arrived.
Luo Chenxi woke up early in the morning and sweet talked the little dumpling a bunch to coax her into letting Mu Weiwei send her to kindergarten.
Then, she met up with Fang Ziqian and they went to SL Corporation together.
The backstage was already in a mess as everyone was busily making the final preparations for the competition.
Luo Chenxi went straight toward her booth.
However, she was stopped by someone on her way.
“As expected of the person who won first place in the semifinals. You look so calm and relaxed that you don’t seem to be bothered even after arriving here this late. It seems like you are pretty confident in yourself. Are you truly prepared?”
Wu Lingshan looked at Fang Ziqian who was beside Luo Chenxi and could not help but laugh out loud.
“Don’t tell me, is this the model that you contracted for the runway show? Where the h*ll did this nobody come from? Today’s runway session is the main highlight of the fashion show. How can you get someone with no experience in official fashion shows to model for you? Let’s see how you deal with things when you end up making a fool of yourself!”
Luo Chenxi looked at Wu Lingshan, then the smile on her face disappeared. “That’s my concern. On the other hand, Miss Wu, you’d better mind your own business and give it your best. Otherwise, you might end up losing to me again and start playing dirty tricks to tarnish my name like before. Unfortunately for you, no one would probably believe you this time.”
Wu Lingshan’s face instantly turned bright red.
“Hmph, don’t get ahead of yourself! So what if you have nice-looking ready-made clothes? The real challenge of a fashion show is the model’s skills! For that reason, I’ve managed to contract the number one supermodel, Bai Xinxin! Take a good look at yours! Oh, right, why is there only one model with you, don’t you have anyone to model for your menswear?”
“Well, I guess that makes sense. Who would risk being banned to model for you? Without a model, you won’t even have the chance to present properly on stage. From the way I see it, you’d be better off withdrawing from the competition!”
