Li Xue's expression turned to that of complication as she realized that once again that lady has succeeded in doing what she has intended to. Giving her a new mystery to work on. A new riddle to solve.
"Li Xue, are you okay?" When Feng Yi Lan saw Li Xue like that, she asked drawing close to her while reaching out for her shoulders. "Why are you suddenly looking like that? Is there something going on in your head?"
Li Xue was snapped out from her thoughts at the call of Yi Lan's voice. At first, she was not sure what she had been asked by her just now. But when she saw concern laced in her eyes, she understood.
Smiling, she shook her head denying any reasonable cause for it. "Ah, it's nothing. I was just thinking how great would be Weasley that he turned you so serious in your career. I remember in your past you weren't the same back. Fashion designing was just out your hobby, that you loved to do to escape study pressures."
Feng Yi Lan shrugged her shoulders. "I won't deny that. But do you know, Weasley has been quite mysterious? He has been there in the fashion industry for more than two long years, and still, none of his information has ever come out. You know how our industry is. It's tough to conceal your information here, especially when you are popular. But there he was all safe in his comfort zone, away from all his followers like us."
"You mean to say that none ever saw how he looked? Did he never give any interview to shows or magazines?" Li Xue asked. Something felt amiss in between. If one was popular, it was tough to avoid them coming. As Feng Yi Lan said, the Fashion industry doesn't go soft on popularity.
Feng Yi Lan shrugged again. "He has never done that. None was able to reach him and he became untraceable when he disappeared from the field. You know it would be no less than a serious joke if tomorrow, we come to know that Weasley is not a man but a woman instead; or not young but quite old because none of us ever saw him. We have just built his face and stature in our imagination according to the designs he drew."
She said and her words like that suggested Li Xue of something. But it was still a mystery that can't be solved without proper facts. And facts can't be instantly produced.
So, Li Xue nodded to Yi Lan while her gaze moved to look back at the staff who was still there standing there with a kind of different expression on his face. Like he was internally dwelling over something on his own.
"Oops, we are sorry. In our talks, we almost forgot that you were also here. Thanks for being patient and also for delivering this dress. We won't hold you here for longer. You can leave." Li Xue said, making a smile of politeness for the person.
The staff tried to reciprocate with equal politeness but for some reason, his smile faltered. But still bowing his head quickly, he was ready to leave when Li Xue halted him with her words.
"Wait, do you have anything to say to us?" She asked and the man turned to look at her with an awkward expression before turning to look at Feng Yi Lan and Qi Shuai and then again at Li Xue.
The staff felt difficulty in thinking whether he should say it or not. But then after pondering it for some time, he decided positively and looked up with all his strength to say, "Madam, if you don't mind, can I do another task for which I have been assigned?"
Li Xue's brows tugged together in confusion as she asked, "Another task? Weren't you here just to deliver the dress?"
"I was here for that." The staff nodded before adding more to say, "But there was also another task that I have been assigned for. I have to go to Aurora to meet Ms. Feng. But since she is already here, can I?" He asked and, in his tone, it was clear that he was thinking twice about his words before bringing them out.
Li Xue turned to look at Feng Yi Lan who was equally surprised.
"Meet me in Aurora? For what?" Feng Yi Lan asked looking at the staff who in turn took her question as a cue to speak about the matter.
Nodding, he agreed to her askance before stating, "Yes, Ms. Feng. Our boss has asked me to visit you. So, after leaving from here I was about to visit Aurora." He said, pausing in words to see if there was something the lady would say.
Feng Yi Lan blinked and nodded. "Go ahead, I am all ears." She said and the man instantly smile before continuing to say.
"Ms. Feng, we have heard that your wedding will be there soon. So, I was asked to visit to ask you if you would like to order your wedding dress from our store. We would live up to your expectations if you would let us have the opportunity." The store staff said and Li Xue didn't understand what this sudden request was all about.
While on the side, Feng Yi Lan seemed a bit excited. The moment, she heard the man mention it, she asked, "Will the wedding dress be another workpiece of Weasley?"
A smile of awkwardness covered the face of the staff, as nudging his nose, he said with a bit of complicated expression, "About that, I can't be sure. I have to ask my Boss if you would allow me to." He said and Feng Yi Lan just stared at him before nodding.
The moment she did, the man excused himself before walking to a side to make a call. While Feng Yi Lan just turned to look back at Li Xue and Qi Shuai.
But when she saw them silently standing there, she furrowed her brows, "What? Won't you ask me why did I say that?"
With Qi Shuai's expression, it looked like he had no interest, while Li Xue simply pursed her lips at her. She had a lot going in her thoughts at the moment, but at the same time, she was not leaving to live in the situation. So, when Feng Yi Lan asked her that question, she was there to give her the response.
Feng Yi Lan almost rolled her eyes. "You both are truly a spoilsport. At least, you should have guessed. By saying that, I have just tried to shoot two birds with one arrow. Wesley's designed wedding outfit is not easy to reach. There is something more than money and connection that you need to get in hand. So, if they do that for me, it would only bring me the benefit of wearing it on my big day. If not, their request would be rejected without leaving me in a bad spot."
She said and right at that moment, when she completed her say like that, the staff returned with a smile as he said, "Ms. Feng, I just talked with our Boss. And she said, if you allow us the opportunity, we can arrange that for you."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Li Xue's expression turned to that of complication as she realized that once again that lady has succeeded in doing what she has intended to. Giving her a new mystery to work on. A new riddle to solve.
