An Awkward Encounter at the Fashion Show

"Why say I have a stomachache?" Zhuang Weixin rolled his eyes in protest.

"Otherwise, you drive me home?" Zhuang Bao patted her son's head.

"Wow! Mommy, look! Anna's friend is here!" Zhuang Weixin pointed it out to her.

"How do you know who that is?" Zhuang Bao followed the direction he pointed, but she couldn't see anything because her view was blocked by the crowd. "Otherwise, why would she be so happy to hug a guy! Hey, that man is quite handsome," Zhuang Weixin carefully sized him up.

Ken still came to the evening party. Although he had wanted to leave early without Zhuang Bao's company, George had stuck to him like a conjoined twin all night and was really talkative. Even Donaldson and the others could hardly sit still. Finally, they had to hastily agree to attend the celebration banquet and planned to leave soon.

While George was looking for Anna, Donaldson secretly said to Ken, "Ken, you've been very absent - minded today."

"Because I don't want to be here at all."

"George is so annoying," Max added.

"And don't ask me to participate in this kind of party next time. It's all the smell of women's perfume. I really can't stand it," Chander frowned in disgust.

On this side, Anna excitedly walked up to them, gave Ken a big hug and a kiss, and then affectionately held Ken's arm, exclaiming, "It's so good to see you! It's like being in New York!"

"You look really beautiful today, but it's not fair," Donaldson bent his arm as a gesture.

Anna immediately generously held his arm too.

"Come on! I'll introduce you to my new friends!" Anna couldn't wait to share with her good friends. "I've been bothering them these days in Taiwan. They are a very cute mother - son pair, and they can speak very fluent English."

"Are they the nice people who showed up when you got lost, the ones you told me about last time? Is she here today too?" Donaldson had lunch with Anna last time and she had mentioned it briefly.

"Yes, both she and her son are here," Anna led them towards the bar.

"So the one who kissed you just now is her son?" Max immediately understood. He had been wondering just now.

"He's so cute and handsome, right? And he's so smart. I couldn't understand a single question in his math homework. He can also play the piano. The most amazing thing is that he's a video - game master. I almost lost to him," Anna said happily. "Ah, there they are!"

Anna happily waved and shouted, "Baobao, Weixin!"

Zhuang Bao turned around. She saw Ken, and of course, he saw her too! Then it was too late for him to pull out the arm that Anna was holding. Did she see Anna kiss him just now?

Zhuang Bao just smiled and said, "General Manager, I didn't expect you to be the good friend Anna mentioned."

"Baby..." Ken felt that his world was changing because there was no emotion at all in Zhuang Bao's eyes.

"Ken, you're in trouble," Donaldson said coolly.

"Don, can't you talk less?" Max elbowed Donaldson. "Baobao, we didn't expect you and Anna to be friends already."

"Anna, we know each other. No need for introductions. They are the supervisors in my company," Zhuang Bao looked at Anna, who was staring with a puzzled expression.

"Really? What a coincidence!" Anna immediately got excited. "Then we can skip the introductions! It turns out we're all good friends!"

Zhuang Bao suddenly felt humble. Look at Anna and Ken standing together. How well - matched they were! She suddenly felt that she wasn't in the same league as them... "Baby, we're just friends. Please don't misunderstand," Ken stepped forward and took Zhuang Bao's hand, looking at her seriously. He really didn't like the indifference in her eyes now.

Zhuang Bao just looked at him steadily, smiled, and gently shook off his hand.

Zhuang Weixin looked at them, then tugged at her hand and said, "Mommy, didn't you mention going back earlier?"

Ken then noticed the little handsome guy standing beside them.

"Is he your son? … Hi, hello," Ken didn't know how to greet him, especially in this situation. He could only say "hi" and still focused on Baobao.

"Hi," Weixin didn't like the current situation at all. It felt like being suddenly surrounded by a group of burly men. It was not good at all. And except for his stupid - looking dad, who had eyes and a heart only for his mommy, the expressions of the others were really not fun. They were sizing him and his stupid dad up, looking at their faces again and again. Damn it! He should have known better than to comb his hair like this today. As soon as he saw his stupid dad, he knew it was bad. The two of them were really eerily similar. He had to take a step closer to Anna to avoid further comparisons.

"Anna, Mommy and I want to go back first," he directly told Anna, "There are more and more people, and maybe your good friends want to talk to you more."

"Huh? But didn't we agree to continue the game?" Anna was surprised by his suggestion.

"It doesn't matter! There will be plenty of opportunities next time. Aren't you going to stay for a few more days?"

"But..." Anna felt a bit sorry.

"And I have to go to school tomorrow," Weixin had to say this because his mom's expression was not normal at all. If he didn't take her home quickly, who knew what stupid thing his dad would say and make his mom do something strange.

"I see. That's true. I almost forgot you're a student," Anna nodded. Anyway, she could go tomorrow afternoon.

"Mommy, I've told Anna. We can go," Weixin turned around and pulled Zhuang Bao's hand.

"Okay," Zhuang Bao looked down and smiled at her son. She didn't hear a word of what Ken had said just now.

"Hey, stop holding my mom's hand. We're going home," Weixin bravely looked up and frowned at Ken.

"My mom didn't listen to a word you said. If you have something to say, try again tomorrow," Weixin shrugged and explained to Ken.

Ken stared in surprise at this little guy who was so mature for his age.

"Hey, it's a bit difficult for you and my mom," Weixin shook his head.

"… Weixin, they?" Anna blinked. Only then did she come back to her senses from her excitement.

"Yeah, probably what you're thinking," Weixin took Zhuang Bao's hand. "We're leaving! Goodbye, everyone!"

Zhuang Bao nodded to everyone and left without saying a word.
