An Nuan gritted her teeth and turned to glare at Xia Qiqi, "Be quiet, it's starting soon."
Xia Qiqi frowned clearly, wearing a displeased expression.
Fortunately, at that moment, the host's voice sounded from the stage.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the host.
"Thank you all for attending Celina's new season product launch. The new products we are presenting this time include high-end women's bags, couture dresses, fashionable casual wear, elegant western-style dresses..." The host was enthusiastic and passionate.
Once the opening remarks were over, the live fashion show began.
"First, we will showcase our flagship fashion women's bags for this year. These bags were personally designed by Anthony, our chief designer for Celina's handbags. This time, the designer has perfectly integrated ethnic elements into the design. You can see the saddle bag in the hands of our first model, with exquisite tailoring and hand embroidery in the bottom right corner. It's simple, elegant, and exudes an exotic charm..." The host tirelessly explained each new product.
At some point, Xia Qiqi had switched seats with Luo Si and was now sitting next to An Nuan.
She whispered in An Nuan's ear, "I'm here to attend this new product launch to choose items for my wedding. Give me some advice later, though I might not necessarily listen."
She seemed excited as she spoke.
She was clearly immersed in the joy of her upcoming wedding.
An Nuan looked at Xia Qiqi's proud expression and ignored her.
After all, Xia Qiqi's wedding, which was about to take place, would not be what she wanted.
"Next, we have our featured couture dresses for this year. First up is the new collection by our rising star designer, Lugaro. She uses bold colors and intricate palace-style details to create luxurious and grand dresses... Special thanks to our chief model, Miss Tong Zhitong, for returning to the stage! Let's welcome her with a dazzling appearance!"
The host's infectious voice completely energized the atmosphere of the event.
It even brought about the first climax of the launch.
Everyone couldn't help but look towards the runway, where a woman, surrounded by other models, confidently walked out.
"Who?!" Xia Qiqi looked at the woman in front of her and felt a vague sense of familiarity but couldn't remember suddenly.
"Ye Jingxuan's ex-girlfriend," An Nuan explained.
Her gaze also fell on Tong Zhitong, who was truly radiant.
At this moment on the stage, Tong Zhitong looked different from when An Nuan had seen her in the dress area earlier.
Tong Zhitong appeared even more proud now.
Just as the spotlight shone on her, one could clearly feel her innate queen-like aura and a touch of arrogance.
Tong Zhitong's stride stopped abruptly in front of An Nuan.
She glanced down at the stage, and the smile on her lips clearly showed how triumphant she felt.
In fact, the stage lights were too bright to see what was happening below.
This action was meant solely for An Nuan's benefit.
Xia Qiqi frowned, clearly sensing that this woman had ill intentions towards An Nuan. She bluntly asked, "Do you have a grudge against this woman?!"
With just one glance, she confirmed that this was about An Nuan.
Clearly, Tong Zhitong was only focused in one direction.
There were many people in this direction.
However, Xia Qiqi, this woman, was so sensitive that she could perceive it in an instant.
It was sometimes difficult to describe exactly what kind of person An Nuan thought Xia Qiqi was.
Occasionally, she displayed a cleverness that made you think she was a genius.
But when she acted foolishly, she was truly a complete fool.
"She has another identity," An Nuan didn't hide it from Xia Qiqi, "she is Ye Jinghuai's ex-girlfriend."
As soon as the words fell,
It seemed like the man next to them glanced at An Nuan.
An Nuan acted as if she hadn't seen it.
Upon hearing this explosive news, Xia Qiqi clearly lost control, "Damn!"
"Hush," An Nuan covered Xia Qiqi's mouth, "be quiet."
Xia Qiqi stared at An Nuan.
An Nuan released her grip only after confirming that Xia Qiqi had calmed down.
"I knew this woman didn't seem ordinary. She's actually Ye Jinghuai's ex-girlfriend."
"..." Can you not let others hear when you speak ill of someone?
Ye Jinghuai was right there.
"This woman definitely hasn't gotten over Ye Jinghuai," Xia Qiqi asserted.
An Nuan nodded.
Indeed, she hadn't gotten over him, which was why she kept opposing her at every turn.
This little scene tonight was clearly not only to attract attention to herself, but also to prevent her from discussing the matter of joining Celina.
An Nuan's eyes narrowed.
She coldly watched Tong Zhitong walk down the runway, accompanied by the passionate voice of the host, "Once again, thank you to our chief model, Miss Tong Zhitong, thank you!"
"Nuan Nuan, you should be wary of this woman," Xia Qiqi couldn't help but remind her.
But An Nuan didn't care.
After all, she and Ye Jinghuai were in a sham marriage.
Whether Ye Jinghuai wanted to rekindle things with Tong Zhitong or not, she had no right to voice an opinion.
She only had one opinion, and that was that Tong Zhitong had truly provoked her.
Provoked her.
Naturally, she would retaliate and double the retaliation!
"Next up is our highlight product for tonight, our limited edition from each season, designed by our designer Crane. Different from Crane's usual style, this time he chose a pure white color, like snow, with a layer of transparent chiffon that is as clean and pure as ice, exuding elegance and a touch of fairy-like charm. In this bustling world, it is like a clear spring, refreshing and fragrant, with a unique style," the host continued passionately, "This issue's theme is called 'Friendship,' inspired by the designer's best friend. As her friend is about to get married, Crane specially designed Celina's official high-end wedding gown for her, which is truly a divine friendship! It can be recorded as a milestone in the fashion industry!"
As the host introduced, Xia Qiqi muttered to herself.
"No wonder it feels like a déjà vu for a wedding dress. By the way, this friend is so lucky. Crane actually designed a special high-end wedding gown from Celina for her wedding. This is what you call an otherworldly friendship! It could definitely go down in the fashion industry's history!"
An Nuan's lips curved into a faint smile, remaining silent.
"Ah, this one is too beautiful!" Xia Qiqi suddenly exclaimed, watching as one model after another walked past her, each wearing a high-end gown. "Oh my goodness, I love that one too. What should I do? I feel like I love every single one. Oh no, I think I'm going to go bankrupt."
She was extremely excited.
Suddenly, Xia Qiqi's line of sight was blocked by someone.
She frowned.
Looking up, she saw Tong Zhitong, who had just been on the runway, now appearing in front of them.
"Can I sit here?" Tong Zhitong asked, directing the question to Qin Jiang.
Qin Jiang was seated next to Ye Jinghuai.
He suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth, as if he had turned his head to glance at Ye Jinghuai, but it also seemed like a casual gesture without much meaning.
Qin Jiang stood up from his seat and said, "Sure, go ahead. I need to use the restroom anyway."
