Qin Feng's people came early in the evening.
I was sleeping peacefully when they woke me up from my dreams.
I thought I would be pissed, but when I saw the person who was standing at my door I was too stunned to be anything else.
It was Fan Liying. The one and only designer that is famous globally.
The thing I like the most about her is that even after achieving so much she stayed humble. You won't believe it if someone told you this is some world renowned artist.
But what is she doing here?
As if she could sense my doubts she said, "Mr. Qin said that you need a few gowns, since we were not aware of your size, and he was not clear either we could only come up with these two gowns." Well I have heard that she just goes straight to the point and won't exchange pleasantries, but let me take a breath at least.
I still haven't processed why she is here, and she is telling me to understand what she is saying.
I don't know what happened in the next few minutes, but she showed me 3 gorgeous gowns which were designed by her.
I decided to choose the magenta one.
It had pearls embedded in a beautiful design with a low slit on the front.
Wait. What?
The gown which I am wearing currently is one one I am supposed to wear in the auction tonight. Which means Qin Feng told Fan Liying.
And by her tone she also seems to respect him a lot.
When I told him to do the arrangements I never thought that he wound be this extravagant.
What in the world is this?
I truly saw the difference between us today.
He could have arranged something else though. I doubt I'd be able to process it anytime soon.
After changing into the gown I was surprised how it fit me perfectly.
"Mr. Qin just gave your size vaguely, but it does fit you well.
"He did?" I ask with doubtedly.
The fu*k? Why would he know that?
This all is just so much for me to take.
Fan Liying leaves after I am ready, and reality sinks in. I am nervous for various reasons.
The major one being how am I going to handle everything today.
As far as I know he never brought a female companion before, so I am going to be targeted for all kinds of reasons.
Anyways it's his fault for asking me, and he should be the one cleaning the mess if something happens.
With this though I take a deep breath and focus on how I met Fan Liying today.
My doorbell rings, and I think it's Qin Feng.
Well my guess isn't wrong but when I see him in a black suit, I am blown away.
He wears black most of the time, and I have seen him in tuxedos before, then I don't understand why he is looking a little different today. In a good way though.
Why is he looking so gorgeous? I am feeling jealous now.
He is looking much more gentle and refined, unlike how I usually see him.
I look at him only to find him staring back at me.
He did not see me checking him out. Did he?
Why doest it feel like he was doing the same thing though?
Anyways it's his problem for looking this way. He can't blame me.
"Are you ready?" He asks.
I sigh with relief. He is still the same Qin Feng I know. Terrible at starting conversation.
What do I look like if not ready?
I roll my eyes at him.
"Yeah." I reply dryly.
"Shall we go then?"
I followed him to his car. This time he brought a driver so we both sat in the backseat.
Even though we have been this close before. I even hugged him. Though I have to say it felt so good, it should be wrong given his situation.
He seems to be overpowering my senses.. I can't think straight.
"Thanks for the gown" I said trying to talk about something. Anything except him.
"No problem." He replies.
I think whenever I'd feel nervous around him I should just ask him something.
It takes him a lot of efforts to speak more than few words.
"How did you guessed the size of the gown?" Why did I ask that?
I blame it on him, because I am unable to think in his presence.
I want to hide right now. I look out of the window, not daring to meet his eyes.
"I just Bai'er for some help."
Instead of feeling relieved, my face turns completely red. I just hope he would not see it.
Of course BaiBai would know my size, we went shopping together. Why did I not think of it before.
Fortunately he doesn't know my thoughts or I would never be able to face him.
I can only blame myself. I should know better whether he is a pervert or not.
"Or did you think that it was me who guessed it?"
Oh my god! Is he teasing me?
I glare at him. Whatever I was about to say dies down, when I see the corner of his mouth lift a little.
He is really teasing me. Huh!
"What? Do you think it's fun?" I retort.
My face must look like a tomato by now.
"It is." He said completely shocking me.
I decided to ignore him for the rest of the ride.
When did he changed? I did not noticed that.
Even though I said I won't speak to him, the place where the auction is held is quite far away from my home.
And with the traffic it will take even mote time for us to reach.
So I asked him the question which has been in my mind since evening.
"Why Fan liying was there?"
"Because you needed help with clothes." He said as a matter of fact.
Usually I understand what he is trying to say just with few words. But maybe this time my brain could not process everything happened today.
I raise an eyebrow indicating him to continue
"You said I will have to do the arrangements so I asked Fan Liying for help."
"You asked her for help and she agreed just like that." I gasp in disbelief.
"Yeah." He said as if it was not obvious enough.
"Is there ang problem in that?" He asks in confusion.
"No, but that was so extravagant in my opinion." He could have just arranged something normal.
"I don't think so." He should just stop now if he thinks that everyone in this world could handle his definition of normal.
I most certainly can't.
"Of course you won't. It might not be some big deal for you, but it is for me." I tell him.
I don't even know whether I will even be able to afford this dress in my lifetime. I did not asked for it's price for the very same reason.
Ignorance is bliss after all.
"Are you guys close?" I probe. I mean he just asked and she came in just a day. Who do that?
"I don't think that we can be considered close, but I know her for a long time. She is just an acquaintance." He explains.
Okay if you say so.
I wanted to ask for her number, but what I will do with that.
Even though she seemed to be very polite and easy going she knows him, not me.
We finally reach our destination.
Qin Feng told me to sit still and came from the other side to open the door.
He offered his hand and I was stunned for a while before giving my hand in his.
I thought I had pretty long hands before, but it still feels small in his.
I hooked my hand around his arms and we walked inside the venue together.
The person in charge who was standing there at the entrance, checking invitations of everyone did not stopped Qin Feng.
After entering the hall we became the center of attraction. And by that I mean Qin Feng.
Most of the people ignored me thinking I am not someone important while they looked a little curious in the beginning.
Everyone is giving me all kinds of gazes, something which I already knew would happen. I thought I was prepared for it, but it still overwhelmed me.
The auction will start in a while and this was the time when everyone socialize.
In simple words people auck up to more rich and powerful ones.
"Can you please not leave me alone?" I ask him even though it is unfair for him.
He raises his brows in confusion
"Everyone especially the females are looking at me as if they are going to unalive me at any moment." I explain.
Qin Feng chuckles and the people around us look at us like we are some kind of monkeys.
I think even they are stunned by his rare show of expression.
"Okay." He said and I sigh with relief.
I think he got my point, that everyone is jealous seeing me with him. Thank god he is not that dense otherwise I would have embarrassed myself.
