Seeing her meaningful smile, Xia Nuan was puzzled, “What do you mean?”
“Nothing. Ye Enchen performed good deeds in the prison. The police decided to release him. Moreover, he treated me well and asked the police to release me first.” Xia Yan said proudly.
Xia Nuan was depressed. She was anxious that Ye Enchen might aim at Ye Sichen again after his release.
“Xia Nuan, sometimes I do envy you. After such a long time, Ye Enchen still misses you. Even Ye Sichen and you have aimed at him before, he still can't forget you.” Xia Yan said with jealousy.
“I have nothing to do with him.” Xia Nuan stood up. She didn't want to hear Xia Yan mention Ye Enchen.
Xia Yan didn't make a sound. She just smiled bitterly.
After Xia Yan came back, Xia Nuan let her live in the apartment temporarily. She herself moved to the company.
Xia Nuan had created her own fas.h.i.+on brand, called “Love of Xia”. She had continuously expanded the company's scale. For a long time, the company had been launching a series of women's wear and had won numerous praises.
Xia Nuan tried to make herself busy to stop missing Ye Sichen.
Shangzhuang, the famous brand, was defeated by Xia Nuan's works. The company couldn't accept the result and started to make a brush ticket online. However, its trick was exposed and its reputation suffered a disastrous decline. The chief designer, Lan, came to Aos.h.i.+ City and began to work in Love of Xia, because of his contradictions with Shangzhuang. Seeing Lan gain both fame and wealth, the rest of the designers of Shangzhuang all wanted to join. But they were rejected by Xia Nuan.
She didn't like the rat race. She knew that wherever there were people, there were compet.i.tions. Moreover, after its designer moved to Love of Xia, Shangzhuang would definitely resent her. She believed “the less trouble the better”, so she hired Lan only.
When Xia Nuan was about to hold a fas.h.i.+on show, Lan Qing and Helen came together to find her.
Seeing Lan Qing and Helen, Xia Nuan invited them to join the show.
“Xia Nuan, I'm gonna go back to Aos.h.i.+ City. Ye Sichen is still waiting for me. Anyway, I believe your fas.h.i.+on show must be more popular than your first two shows.” Lan Qing encouraged her.
Xia Nuan smiled and glanced at Helen, “So, Miss Helen, you are leaving with Director Lan, aren't you?”
Helen didn't expect she would ask such a question. She replied embarra.s.sedly, “No. I will go back to Modu City to work.”
“Well, I won't retain you. Next time when you come to Aos.h.i.+ City, just call me in advance.” Xia Nuan laughed.
“How about you go back to Modu City, too? I think Chen definitely misses you.” Helen looked at her with ambiguity.
Xia Nuan's smile was frozen.
“Which Chen? Do you mean Ye Enchen? Well, President Xia, have you seen the news? Ye Enchen is going to be sent back to Modu City by the police of Country S. He said that was for your help. I just have no idea how you get him out of prison?” Xia Yan came over and ridiculed like she did it on purpose.
Lan Qing and Helen's face suddenly changed. Xia Nuan's face was livid. She looked at Xia Yan and said softly, “You said that he was released because of his good performance in the prison. What does it have to do with me?”
“But in today's interview, Ye Enchen said that he wasn't able to get out of prison without your help.” Xia Yan continued to sneer her, “Now, you have become the spooniest woman in the world.”
Xia Nuan's face was livider. She forced a smile and said goodbye to Helen and Lan Qing.
“Xia Yan, you know he's lying. Why do you do the same?”
Xia Nuan saw the news today. When Ye Enchen was in the interview, he lied to the media that he was released because of her help. He lied that she helped to prove his innocence. People were all convinced. But only she knew that Ye Enchen was intentionally to do this. He wanted Ye Sichen to see this through the media and misunderstand her relations.h.i.+p with Ye Enchen.
“Am I lying? He said this in the interview. I'm just repeating his words.”
Xia Yan said righteously.
Xia Nuan looked at her coldly, “Xia Yan, if you like to speak for Ye Enchen, our sisterhood will be over. I'm gonna hold a press conference to clarify this. If you are still in league with him to slander me, I'll sue you.” She picked up her mobile phone, “Call the security to take Miss Xia Yan out.”
Xia Yan felt panicked to hear this, “Xia Nuan, I'm your sister.”
Xia Nuan sneered, “If you really see me as your sister, you wouldn't put me to death before. I'm taking you in only for the sake of mom, but I'm not obligated to support you.”
Soon, the security came over and took Xia Yan out.
Xia Yan was unwilling to leave. But Xia Nuan was mighty and she couldn't resist her.
Xia Nuan tried to calm down and paid her attention to the fas.h.i.+on show.
Wearing delicate and fas.h.i.+onable costumes, strutting the catwalk, the models performed a fascinating show on the dreamlike stage. There was another fas.h.i.+on show at night. That was also well-designed and was divided into two shows, the bikini show on the beach and men's underwear show. Both shows were greatly appreciated.
During the curtain call, Xia Nuan received thunderous applause. She looked at the audience under the stage and forced a smile. If Ye Sichen were here and applauded for her, she would definitely be pleased.
However, even if she was successful, Ye Sichen wouldn't accept her…
She was sad.
It was almost zero o'clock that the fas.h.i.+on show ended. When Xia Nuan was on the way back to the company, her phone rang.
It was Ye Sichen.
Even though he changed his number, she remembered the new number once she saw it.
She was a little bit excited.
“h.e.l.lo?”
“Do you have time to come to Modu City?”
Ye Sichen said softly on the phone.
“Is this about Wuyou and Nianci…”
“It's about work. I'll send someone to pick you up at the airport.” He interrupted.
On the evening, she booked a flight and went to Modu City to meet Ye Sichen.
He was in the ICU of Modu Hospital.
He was in black as usual. Sitting next to the bed, he was flipping over the photo alb.u.m. There was a girl with an oxygen tube lying on the bed.
Her face was very pale and weak, but her eyes were bright. She watched the alb.u.m in his hands and smiled from time to time.
Xia Nuan knew the girl. She was Su Weiwei.
They had visited her together before. Although she was terminally ill, she was still optimistic. When she was frustrated, Ye Sichen would encourage her from time to time and told her not to be pessimistic.
Xia Nuan followed Ken in. Seeing this scene in silence, she was relieved and smiled.
“Sister Xia is coming! Mr. Ye, that's sister Xia!” Seeing Xia Nuan standing not far away, she was delighted and raised her voice.
Ye Sichen raised his head and looked at Xia Nuan.
Xia Nuan smiled, walked over and put a bunch of flowers on the bedside table.
“Sister Xia, I asked Mr. Ye to call you. I'm sorry if I disturb your work. But I really want to see you. I'm afraid that I have no chance to see you in the future.” Su Weiwei held Xia Nuan's hand.
Ye Sichen and Xia Nuan had accompanied with her before. She liked Xia Nuan at first sight and she believed Xia Nuan was the woman who would accompany with Ye Sichen forever.
Xia Nuan learned about Su Weiwei's condition from Lan Qing. She felt sorry for her and bowed her head to kiss on Su Weiwei's forehead, “Don't worry. I believe you will get better soon. However, you must have an optimistic att.i.tude.”
“I have already seen it through. Now that you are with me, I have no regrets even if I leave this world right now.”
Su Weiwei held Ye Sichen's hand, then held Xia Nuan's hand. There was no sorrow in her eyes, but only gratification.
“Sister Xia, do you still remember the words I told you last time?” Su Weiwei looked at Xia Nuan secretly and asked.
Ye Sichen gazed at Xia Nuan and frowned.
Xia Nuan glanced at him quickly. Her face became reddish, “Yes.”
Su Weiwei asked her to love Ye Sichen sincerely before…
Su Weiwei smiled brightly. She held their hands together, “I wish you a long life together and tie the knot.”
“Okay.” Xia Nuan pulled her hand away.
At this moment, Ye Sichen understood what Su Weiwei had said to Xia Nuan.
He changed the subject, “Weiwei, you must be tired after a long-time shoot. You should have a rest.”
“Well, I'm not tired. Instead, I know that Mr. Ye, you must be tired for staying with me every day. Mr. Ye, thank you.”
Su Weiwei's eyes wet and she choked with sobs.
Ye Sichen caressed her hair and smiled, “You little fool, you don't need to thank me.”
Su Weiwei laid back on the bed. Then Ye Sichen and Xia Nuan went out of the ward.
At this time, Su Weiwei's parents were standing at the door. They saw Ye Sichen and Xia Nuan and bowed to them with grat.i.tude.
Ye Sichen didn't like this. He held the couple, “Weiwei is resting inside. You can get in and accompany her for a while.”
The couple wiped their tears. Their eyes were red. Then they went into the ward.
Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen stood in the center of the corridor side by side.
“When we flipped over the photo alb.u.m accidentally, Weiwei found you on the photo. So, she wants to see you.” Ye Sichen said slowly.
Xia Nuan rubbed her hands as she looked at them, “Well, I know you don't want to see me.”
Ye Sichen was impa.s.sive and silent. Xia Nuan walked out of the hospital with him.
“Actually, I admire your ability to acquit a criminal from prison. After all, this is the power of your love.” Ye Sichen opened the door of the car, then he suddenly turned around and looked at Xia Nuan coldly.
She stepped forward, “Ye Enchen is lying. His release has nothing to do with me.”
He raised his lips, “I should give my blessing to you and him at the beginning. If so, it would save you a lot of trouble.”
Xia Nuan knew he would never believe her no matter what she explained. So, she stood there with her tears falling silently.
She knew that Ye Sichen minded this. Even if she loved him so much, she couldn't change the fact that she was once with Ye Enchen.
She got on another car. Looking at the neon streets outside, her heart was lost.
At this time, there were two cars driving in front of and behind Ye Sichen's car. The safeguard who drove Ye Sichen's car held the steering wheel and wanted to get rid of them.
However, it was eventually forced to stop. Soon, the two cars crashed into the Limousine car.
Xia Nuan rolled down the window and saw this scene. She asked the driver to speed up to chase them.
