Time flew too fast and by the time Ran Xueyi realized it, it was already the day for her to go to the CK Fashion Show in the Imperial Capital.
The CK Fashion Show was a reputable fashion show that showcases different domestic brand designs that were made by legends in the country, in order to show the loyalty and importance of keeping the country's fashion instinct and style to the world.
In the past, Ran Xueyi was offered to walk onto the ranway together with A-class domestic models that was worth tens of millions. But at that time, her family forced her to give up her spot for Ran Yue to boost her future as a rookie actress. So, Ran Xueyi was unable to walk onto the runway with the models in the end.
Thinking about that time when she had to give up her spot to her younger sister, and how stupid she had been to actually give it up, it solidified how blind she was and how biased her family had become against her.
"The CK fashion will start a grand opening party abroad in order to hall the people involved in it to get closer with each other. The Domestic Fashiom Association already paid for everyone's fees for this trip, so there's no need for us to pay for anything." Adelle read the notice fhat was emailed to her by one of the staff from the association.
Ran Xueyi was packing her clothes and turned around to look at her, "That's great then, we'll only worry about what to wear and what we should eat!"
Ran Xueyi liked travelling so much, but because she was held back by her parents, she couldn't go to other countries as she wanted. Now that they were no longer a part of her life, she could go anywhere!
"But I'm surprised that CK fashion would send an invite for me to attend the show," Ran Xueyi suddenly said.
Hearing her, Adelle looked surprised and asked, "What do you mean? Why wouldn't they invite you? The country's askimg for you everywhere. Your popularity is enough to topple any actress and model right now!"
Ran Xueyi was unexpectedly praised and she slightly blushed. She threw a pillow at Adelle and said, "I don't mean that, and I'm not that popular. Don't let anybody hear you say this or you'll be bashed by everyone."
"I'm saying this because nobody can hear us. Besides, I'm telling the truth. You'll even reach the highest peak and become the most popular actress in the world."
Ran Xueyi wa flattered by Adelle's praise but didn't let it get in her head. The life of a celebrity was like a roller coaster, nobody could predict where they will end up the next day.
Anyway, even if Ran Xueyi didn't become the best in the world, she will be satisfied for as long as she could get the Triple Crown Award.
"So, why did you think CK fashion won't pick you?" Adelle stopped teasing her and asked.
Ran Xueui replied quickly as she zipped her suitcase, "I offended the director of the association because I gave my spot to my sister in the past. Although, he didn't say anything when I met him, I could see in his eyes how disappointed he was when he heard I didn't want to join the show."
"You've met the director of the association?" This was news to Adelle. "From what I heard the director hates meeting people outside of his office so much that he stationed several guards outside his office. How did you meet him?"
"Well... it's hard to say it but...," Ran Xueyi said.
"Who are you two talking about?"
At this time, Song Yu Han arrived early after finishing his work at the office. He was carrying Little Zhanzhan in his arms who was asleep.
For the time being, Little Zhanzhan stayed with Song Yu Han and played with Guo Yun at the office.
Hearing him ask, Ran Xueyi could only answer, "The Director of CK fashion."
"Well, I was around 17 years old when I met him. It was the year before I retired being an actress. But at that time, Brother Xie Xing was the vice director of the association and specifically asked for me to go to the show and walk on the runway."
"Brother Xie Xing?" Song Yu Han sat next to Ran Xueyi and raised his eyebrows at her. "You're close enough with him to call him so endearingly?"
Adelle sensed danger coming and slowly left the room. She even closed the door softly in order to not get noticed by the couple.
"Haiizz..."
Adelle sighed in relief that she left quickly.
"What are you doing out here? Is the Madam finished packing?" Guo Yun walked over to her and asked.
Adelle shook her head and told him, "Yes, she finished packing. Are you looking for the Big Boss?"
Guo Yun nodded.
"Ah, then come back later. The two are talking right now."
Guo Yun did not understand the underlying meaning and looked at her, confused. But before he could ask his question, Adelle pulled him by the arm to go downstairs.
Inside the room, Ran Xueyi did not understand why of all the words she had said earlier, Song Yu Han only caught the word Brother Xie Xing.
But then, she remembered he could be jealous of anything and become possesive with her.
But instead of explaining, she wanted to tease him further and said, "Uh-huh... Brother Xie Xing and I were so close before. We even planned to run away if we still didn't get married agter we turned adult."
At her words, Song Yu Han's gaze deepened with oozing killing instinct and his lips turned into a smirk, "So what if you planned to run away and get married. In the end, you got married to me."
Meaning, that Brother Xie Xing lost to him even before their rivalry started.
Hearing Song Yu Han's words, Ran Xueyi couldn't help but laugh. In the end, she said, "That's right, you won my heart, body, and soul. You're the winner."
...
The next day, outside the villa, it was time for her and Adelle's departure. Little Zhanzhan hurried to cling on Ran Xueyi's leg as tears gathered in his eyes.
He thought his mommy will leave him and so, he cried so much that day.
"Zhanzhan, mommy is going somewhere to work. Mommy will be back quickly."
Little Zhanzhan lowered his head, still in tears and told her, "Mommy won't leave me right?"
Ran Xueyi helplessly smiled and said, "I promise I will never leave. Besides, Daddy will be there by your side."
Song Yu Han patted his head and also said, "That's right. When I'm finish with work, I'll take you to see mommy where she'll be. So, don't worry."
Ran Xueyi was surprised to hear this and whispered, "You don't have to... You have a lot of work to do. What happens if your employees criticized you for slacking from work?"
"They won't do that. I'm the president," replied Song Yu Han before adding, "And I can give them a holiday on the same day I'm out. That way, they don't have anything to say."
Ran Xueyi: "...."
"Alright, you're the boss." Ran Xueyi could only agree to his plan.
Ran Xueyi gave Little Zhanzhan a kiss on the forehead. Of course, she didn't forget to give Song Yu Han another kiss on the lips, but somehow, it turned into a french kiss in front of Guo Yun and Adelle.
Fortunately, he ended it quickly before Ran Xueyi could feel ashamed.
As soon as the time to leave arrived, Ran Xieyi got into the car with Adelle.
Adelle reported to Ran Xueyi their schedule after they arrived in Country Z, "After meeting with the staff of the association, you and the other invited actresses and models will eat togethef with the investors and sponsors of the show."
"Do you have a list of the investors and sponsors for the show?"
Adelle already expected Ran Xueyi to ask and give her the list, "All of them are listed in that paper and I also included what seat they will be sitting. Mr. Josh will be sitting next to you and oh, I forgot to tell you, William will be there too."
Ran Xueyi was looking at the list when she heard her and asked, "William? Why was he invited?"
William was the actor she filmed a movie in Ren Country. He used to have an interest towards her and wanted to create a hype in their CP, but Ran Xueyi ruthlessly rejected it.
"He didn't come as one of the invitees. His mother invested to the show and came as his mother's representative." Adelle paused and suddenly asked her, "Do you think William came to the show for you?"
Ran Xueyi thought about it for a second before shaking her head, "William isn't too idle to mess around with me. I already warned him not to get me involved with his business."
"Anyway, let's be vigilant and see how this show goes."
