Master Hong’s Lucky Bride - Chapter 103 - You Want to See Him?

In the blink of an eye, it was nearing the holiday season. The costume competition was in full swing. This was the last competition of the holiday season, and many well-known studios and company managers had come. They were also trying to start off the new year on a good note for their company. They wanted to find some young talents from the school.

When Zhuang Xinyan saw the Han Chinese clothing that Cen Shuang had designed for her, her eyes instantly lit up. Her gaze fell on Cen Shuang’s face, and her eyes were filled with adoration. “Shuang Shuang, the dress you designed is so beautiful. I like it so much! Can you give it to me?”

Cen Shuang could not understand Zhuang Xinyan’s recent change in attitude, but she did not want to cause trouble for herself. She let out a sigh of relief. “That won’t be possible. I need it for the competition. If you like it, I can design another one for you.”

Zhuang Xinyan hugged Cen Shuang’s neck. “Shuang Shuang, you’re so nice. I like you so much.” She buried herself in her embrace. Even though she was obviously older than her, Zhuang Xinyan looked more like a spoiled little sister.

Cen Shuang was flustered by Zhuang Xinyan’s enthusiasm. When she looked at Zhuang Hong, he returned her gaze. She put down the tablet she was holding and said, “I heard from mom that you designed a set of clothes in the company and even negotiated with the customer.”

He was talking about the Yang Jinyan? Cen Shuang nodded guiltily.

Zhuang Hong chuckled. “How do you feel?”

Cen Shuang looked at the smile on Zhuang Hong’s face and a chill ran down her spine. He actually asked her how she felt. Wasn’t he testing her?

Without waiting for Cen Shuang to answer, Zhuang Hong continued, “Since you’re familiar with the client, you can accompany me to meet him tomorrow.”

Cen Shuang was stunned. Let him meet Yang Jinyan? Was Zhuang Hong not going to accuse them of cheating?

Zhuang Hong’s return to the company was a surprise to Cen Shuang. She did not understand why Zhuang Hong wanted to go to the company in his current state. Moreover, the clothing company was only a small branch of the Zhuang Corporation. She did not understand why Zhuang Hong was so concerned about the clothing business.

“I still have the competition tomorrow, I’m afraid I won’t be able to go.” When Cen Shuang found out that the person Zhuang Hong was going to meet was Yang Jinyan, she had to reject the meeting. However, it was sincerely not because she was worried that there was really something going on between her and Yang Jinyan. It was just that she did not like to be suspected by Zhuang Hong. She could explain her relationship with Yang Jinyan. After all, it was already in the past. After all, they had indeed known each other before this. Anyway, they only said that they wanted to be good friends now.

Zhuang Hong said indifferently, “There’s no rush. We’ll meet at night after the competition. It won’t be too late.”

……

Looking at the smile on Zhuang Hong’s face, Cen Shuang could not help but frown. She did not like Zhuang Hong when he acted like this. Her distrust of her made her very unhappy.

Zhuang Xinyan read the room and felt that their interaction was a little strange. She said to Cen Shuang, “Then can I go and try on some clothes now?”

Cen Shuang nodded. “You can try them on today. If there’s anything that doesn’t fit, I can alter it, but don’t take any photos.”

It was not that Cen Shuang was wary of Zhuang Xinyan, but it had to do with her designing process. She did not want to cause trouble for herself before the competition. She saw that Zhuang Xinyan had left.

Cen Shuang then turned to look at Zhuang Hong and was ready to confess. “You want me to meet him because I know him well? Or because of the things that happened between us in the past?”

Zhuang Hong smiled. “What past?”

His profound black eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. Zhuang Hong looked as if he did not know anything, but at the same time, he seemed to know everything. This made Cen Shuang feel as if she had seen a ghost.

Cen Shuang carefully observed Zhuang Hong’s expression. “I used to know him. I mean, before mom asked me to go to the company to design this batch of suits.”

Cen Shuang allowed Zhuang Hong’s gaze to fall on her and she confessed. “We’ve known each other for a long time. He’s like an older brother to me. Our families had been close, but after the Cen Corporation went bankrupt, we stopped meeting up.”

Cen Shuang felt that what she said was the truth and there was nothing ambiguous about it. As for the relationship between her and Yang Jinyan, even if it was in the past, there was no need to mention it again.

Zhuang Hong had a smile on his face. “Mm, then you two can spend this time reminiscing about the past.”

Cen Shuang frowned. “You still want us to meet?” Why did she feel that Zhuang Hong seemed to be plotting something? However, looking at his calm face, she could not tell what was going on. He was indeed like a wise old man. He was not someone that a simple little girl like her could control.

Zhuang Hong looked at her. “Why don’t you want to meet him?”

Cen Shuang lowered her head and looked at her toes. She said softly, “No, there’s nothing wrong with the arrangement. Why wouldn’t I want to meet him?”

Since he wanted them to meet, then they should meet. After all, she had already made things clear with Yang Jinyan the last time. She believed that Yang Jinyan would not do anything odd. It would be better to just wait and see.
