Perfect Pampered Marriage: Good Morning, Hubby-Chapter 56

You’re Definitely Losing This Time!

“Too bad, I’ve already finished discussing with Designer Jian.”

Li Shengxia was baffled by Gina’s reply. “Huh? What do you mean?”

The latter raised her eyebrows teasingly, smiled at Jian Dan, before shifting her attention back to Li Shengxia.

She attempted a graceful and delighted smile. “Just minutes ago, Designer Jian invited me to be her model for the upcoming fashion showcase and I agreed.”

“But you promised me first!” This caught the woman by surprise.

Gina twitched her lips into a cold smile. “Well, that was before I had other arrangements. But things are different now.

Well, you’re just a nobody, but Designer Jian is a well-known designer across the world. Of course I would choose to work with her.”

It was completely out of Li Shengxia’s expectations that Gina would eat her words at this crucial time. “Gina, I’m truly confident that you’ll like my design. You should at least take a look before making up your mind…”

She retrieved her sketch as she spoke, in hope that it would change the woman’s mind.

“No need for that!” The latter pushed the sketch to the ground without giving it a glance.

“It’s only a few days until the showcase. You should try to look for another model.

“But it’s pointless no matter who you choose. Designer Jian’s design is flawless to perfection. You’re only a rookie, even getting an A-list celebrity would not help you in any way. You are definitely losing this time!”

Li Shengxia bent over right away to pick up her sketch.

She did not expect Gina would go back on her words, not to mention the fact that Jian Dan also picked her to be the model!

Everything happened as if they were all deliberately planned. The coincidence was uncanny.

A wave of frustration rocked through her. All the effort she put in before to convince Gina to be her model was futile. Where would she find another model in such a short amount of time?

Jian Dan ridiculed her upon seeing the flurry of emotions that moved like a storm across the woman’s face. “Hey, newbie, don’t look all grim because of a small defeat.”

She seemed delighted with the young woman’s failure. “This upcoming showcase will be a crowning achievement to my career but to you, more like a farewell banquet in respect to your journey in the fashion scene. It might be the only time you get to do this in your entire life. Better work hard.”

Jian Dan’s voice filled the air as she left the coffee shop in smiles with Gina trailing behind.

Li Shengxia only recollected herself after the women left. Devastated, she rested her chin in her hands on the table.

She was too careless!

Gina and she were not friends, to begin with. She should have been extra cautious when collaborating with her.

Where should she find another model more suitable to showcase Ten Miles of Red?

Perhaps no one would do better than Gina.

However, she was left with no other alternative!

Simultaneously, Yin Tangyi parked his car outside of the coffee shop.

Wen Ting’er’s voice entered the speaker.

“Tangyi, Aunt has already made the bookings for our engagement party. It’s happening next month.”

“I’ve said numerous times that I don’t have the time for this. We’ll discuss the engagement some time later.”

The person on the other end of the phone protested right away. “Tangyi, the Wen family is declaring bankruptcy because of Li Shengxi! Are you going to act indifferently to our misfortune?”

“I’ll take care of that. The engagement can wait.”

“Tangyi, are you really going to be so cruel to me? Tangyi, you saw it with your own eyes that Li Shengxia had married someone else! Why can’t you forget her?!” She was getting emotional.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

“Yin Tangyi, listen to your conscience. Don’t you feel bad about the way you’ve treated me? I’ve lost all face because of you! I’ve begged you over and over again, throwing everything away so I can be with you. What should I do if you decide to leave me too? Will you continue torturing me until I die?!”

“That’s enough! I’m really busy right now. Later!” He hung up impatiently. The woman’s hysterical wailing could still be heard coming from the other end of the phone.

“Tangyi, Tangyi… Tangyi!”

Her voice was abruptly cut off the second he ended the call.

For reasons unknown to himself, he just could not be gentle with her. He felt like freaking out each time he thought about the engagement!

Right then, his phone rang again.

It was from Qiu Haitang.

“My son! Where are you? It’s getting late, why aren’t you home!”

“Overtime!”

“Always the same excuse! Miss Wen dropped by earlier. She had been waiting for you the entire day thus I asked her to give you a call. Then she ran out of the house in tears! What did you say to her?”

“Nothing!”

“You unfilial son! All you think about is that vixen Li Shengxia! Are you trying to upset me to death!? This perfect marriage arrangement is destroyed because of that vixen! You’ve wasted all my efforts!

“I know you don’t like Miss Wen, not to mention their family has declared bankruptcy too. But come home first and we can talk. It’s fine if you don’t want to marry Miss Wen as I can just pay her off. There’ll be plenty of rich daughters of affluent families waiting in line to be with you!”

“Stop!” He interrupted his mother with impatience. “What else can you think of other than interest and wealth? Am I your son or a pawn to expand the family business? I don’t want any of those women! Marry them yourself if you so wish!”

“You unfilial son, how dare you speak to your mother like this. You–”

Beep. The phone call was put to an end. Qiu Haitang thought she almost had a heart attack!

On the other hand, Yin Tangyi threw the phone away in frustration and buried his face in his hands!

How had he come to this? Everything turned into a huge mess ever since breaking up with Li Shengxia!

If only he disagreed with the break up back then. He should have tried his best to make her stay instead of further infuriating her with the engagement with Wen Ting’er. Perhaps everything might have ended up differently…

However, he had chosen the worst solution possible, and all of this happened because of his ego. He thought too highly of himself, thinking that Shengxia would regret the break-up and come back to his side.

He could not be more wrong!

The man was reminded of his first encounter with Li Shengxia. She was crying incessantly on the plane yet he fell for her in that very instant.

Since that moment, he spent five years trying to heal the wound in her heart.

Thinking that she would move past her injuries one day.

Little did he know he could be the one to fall into the thick haze today, unable to find the exit no matter how hard he tried.
