They talked and laughed throughout the meal. Xia Yingqing was not in a hurry to get closer to Gu Huaijing, but she occasionally mentioned him when chatting with Gu Yanyu.

"I'm done." Gu Huaijing took the handkerchief handed to him by the servant and gently pressed the corner of his mouth, "Aunt, you and Miss Xia eat slowly."

Gu Yanyu raised his head: "Why, are you leaving now?"

"Yes, there are still many things waiting for the company, I have to go back first."

"Are you so busy?" Gu Yanyu felt sorry for him working so hard, so she had to say, "Don't be too tired. Come back as soon as you're done."

Gu Huaijing nodded, picked up his phone and left.

Looking at his leaving back, Xia Yingqing seemed to be thinking about something.

"Come on, the guest room should be decorated. I'll take you to see it." Gu Yanyu took Xia Yingqing's hand, and they went up to the third floor together.

The housekeeper was used to doing this. The room on the third floor was spacious and bright, and all the furnishings were in the style of little girls. Xia Yingqing liked it very much: "Thank you, aunt."

"Why are you being polite? Since you call me aunt, I treat you the same as Huai Jing." Gu Yanyu reached out and helped her to lift her hair. "You must be tired after catching the plane. Go take a nap. I'll call you later."

After seeing Gu Yanyu off, Xia Yingqing took out her cell phone which had been turned off for a long time.

After thinking for a moment, she typed the words "Ning Xi" in the search bar.

She had been abroad for many years and didn't know much about domestic companies, but she was also familiar with the name of Wen's Group. It turned out that Gu Huaijing's ex-wife was the daughter of Wen's Group?

Almost all the comments on the Internet were positive, and the few hot searches that popped up were all positive news. Many people praised her for being smart, capable, beautiful and kind.

If you scroll down further, you will find some different voices among the many praises.

There was a hot search last month with the title "President Wen had a secret meeting with President Gu at a hot spring resort late at night". Xia Yingqing's eyes widened.

Although a clarification statement popped up soon, those pictures still surprised her a little.

From that angle in the picture, Ning Xi was leaning towards Gu Huaijing. The two were very close and their body language was very ambiguous.

Further down, there are some comments about Ning Xi's private life.

Regarding Gu Huaijing's failed marriage, Gu Yanyu said: "The marriage was originally arranged by the elders, and Huaijing had no say in the matter. The two divorced, and as far as I know, they are just partners now."

Xia Yingqing didn't mind that Gu Huaijing was married. Everyone makes wrong choices when they are young.

But now it seems that it is not that simple.

……

On the third day after Gu Huaijing returned to City A, he received good news from Rong Qingyun.

He was invited to the studio, where the men’s ready-to-wear collection was already complete.

Gu Huaijing carefully stroked the fine stitches and couldn't help but sigh: "Aunt Rong, your craftsmanship is truly unique."

"No matter how good the clothes are, they only look good when worn." Rong Qingyun chuckled, "I'm waiting for you to be a model and promote my new series of ready-to-wear clothes."

"Of course." Gu Huaijing replied.

He has been taking a crash course in modeling these days and has already gained some basic knowledge.

After saying that, Ning Xi just came out of the fitting room.

The waist-hugging short skirt has a great shape, which makes her figure look like a willow, revealing her snow-white and slender calves. The pink petal embroidery makes her look more girlish, and her temperament is different from her previous cold and aloof temperament, showing a bit of friendliness and cuteness.

Gu Huaijing was stunned for a moment, and only came to his senses after Rong Qingyun reminded him.

"You should change it too!"

"Ah good."

"This silly boy is stunned." Rong Qingyun chuckled behind him and looked at Ning Xi with approval, "But it's not his fault. Xiaoxi, you look totally different in this outfit than usual. Now it seems that this girlish style also suits you very well."

Ning Xi tied up her long hair and said, "As long as you think it's suitable, I'm afraid my temperament won't match it. After all, I'm not a girl anymore."

"What are you talking about? With your figure and looks, people would believe you're eighteen." Rong Qingyun gently put on the jasmine hairpin for her.

The two of them changed into their clothes and stood together, forming a beautiful landscape.

Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed: "It's so pleasing to the eyes!"

……

Although he had taken some modeling courses, Gu Huaijing was not as experienced as Ning Xi after all, and occasionally he could not keep up with the pace. During the shoot, the photographer pointed out his shortcomings: "Mr. Gu, you..."

Gu Huaijing asked: "Isn't this relaxing enough?"

"No, it's just too relaxed." The photographer shook his head. "Our background is a lotus standing proudly in the wind and rain. You can put yourself into this scene."

When Ning Xi saw that Gu Huaijing didn't react much, she knew where the problem lay.

This person has always been accustomed to facing problems rationally, so it is inevitable that he is immature at a moment like this that requires empathy.

She said at the right time: "Think about the difficulties you have encountered and how you solved them in the end. How hard and tortuous it was, and why you refused to admit defeat. Just shoot with this mood."

Everyone quieted down and gave Gu Huaijing ten minutes.

According to what Ning Xi said, he actually slowly found that feeling.

When he first took over the company, he was still young, surrounded by powerful enemies outside and dissatisfied shareholders inside. It can be said that the company was facing internal and external troubles. He was the only one in the company who was under pressure and faced everyone's doubts.

He refuses to admit defeat because he thinks he can do better than anyone else.

So much so that later on I put all my energy into work.

Therefore, he ignored... Ning Xi.

When Gu Huaijing raised his eyes again, the photographer knew that this feeling was right.

He performed the following movements smoothly and naturally, and his facial expressions were no longer indifferent and indifferent, but showed real emotions.

Rong Qingyun looked at him and suddenly smiled: "I didn't realize before that Huai Jing is quite expressive. He would be a good model. Xiaoxi, what do you think?"

Even Ning Xi had to admit this. She said softly, "It's okay."

After the shooting, Ning Xi had lunch and did not go back to the company directly, but drove to Wangzhuang Street.

I haven't been there for a long time, I should go and take a look recently.

……

Wangzhuang Street, in front of Ciyu Orphanage.

When Dean Luo heard that Ning Xi was coming, he immediately put down his work and came out to greet her in person: "Miss Ning is here."

"Dean, you have a lot of things to do every day, so you don't have to come out to greet me every time. I just happened to come to see you." Ning Xi was moved and helpless by Dean Luo's enthusiasm.

"How can that be? You are a great noble in our courtyard. If I don't come out to receive you in person, I would be too ungrateful!"
