58 Fashion Favorite

After An Qi left, Leng Yuchen slowly emerged from behind the door.

Shi Zhiwen then asked, "Boss Leng, are you not worried that An Qi is going on a date with Leng Jin?"

As Shi Zhiwen had been working for Leng Yuchen a long time, he would sometimes forget his place and just speak his mind, especially when it involved An Qi. As such, Shi Zhiwen could not restrain himself from voicing his anxiety at the moment.

"I have confidence in my wife. I hope you don't doubt her..." Leng Yuchen frowned and seemed dissatisfied with Shi Zhiwen's obvious concern.

"No, it's not that..." Shi Zhiwen rushed to explain, "I know that An Qi is a good girl. But, Leng Jin is definitely a smart guy, who is not easy to deal with. Since we were young, I observed that girls were more attracted to him than the both of us..."

As Shi Zhiwen recalled the past as he spoke, Sheng Jie, who was standing beside him, was confused. So, he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, didn't we pick him from an empty building? How could he be someone you and the first young master grew up with?"

"Hmph, aren't you a snob? When we were young and playing together, you were still studying housekeeping in Great Britain!" Shi Zhiwen yelled at Sheng Jie, clearly having been offended by the question.

It was no wonder that Shi Zhiwen had always disliked Sheng Jie, as it turned out that this young man had robbed him of his position in Leng Yuchen's heart! Hearing this, Sheng Jie's gossip antenna was immediately activated.

"Brother Zhiwen, can you tell me more about our Boss Leng's childhood?" he quickly asked.

In the Leng family, before and after Leng Jin was renamed, there was a blank period of sorts. At that time, Sheng Jie went to England, accompanied by his father. When he came back, Leng Jin had changed his name while he studied abroad in Paris. No one knew what exactly had happened during that time.

A group of old staff members, all of whom supported Leng Jin, were sent to work in the subsidiaries by Leng Tianlong. Only during the recent years, when Leng Yuchen really needed talented people, were they transferred back to the headquarters.

But, unexpectedly, as soon as Leng Jin returned to the company, this group of old staff members changed their allegiances to support Leng Jin! They were a bunch of ingrates indeed!

"Ah, don't come too close! I'm not that familiar with you!" Shi Zhiwen lifted up his hand as a look of disdain crossed his face.

"Okay, but speak!" Sheng Jie was acting like an annoying little goblin, incessantly pestering Shi Zhiwen to tell him more about Leng Yuchen's childhood.

At this moment, Shi Zhiwen's image suddenly became extremely important in Sheng Jie's heart. In fact, it was ranked second, only after Leng Yuchen. That was indeed a great honor.

"Actually, maybe you should call me Master Shi," Shi Zhiwen said. He seemed to be lost in thought, but Sheng Jie could not tell what exactly he was thinking about.

…

On the other side of the city…

After An Qi had been seated for some time, Dong Manman arrived late. She laughed wildly when she saw An Qi.

"Qiqi, tell your good friend, how did you get to know my dream lover in the Leng Group?" Dong Manman asked An Qi.

An Qi replied, "Dream lover? You want to talk about that? Do you know that I almost got into trouble because of Gu Xiaonan?"

"Gosh! I thought that was her voice over the phone!" Dong Manman almost flipped the table over in a fit of anger when she heard An Qi's words.

An Qi quickly gestured with her eyes for her to settle down, then rushed to apologize to the startled guests around them. "Please… Can you at least try to control your emotions? I'm the one who was robbed of my boyfriend, so why are you so worked up?"

An Qi stared hard at Dong Manman. Dong Manman had a very straightforward character. When she liked a person, the whole world knew about it. Similarly, when she hated someone, it was clearly evident.

"Why? Can't I show my displeasure when I hear news about people who make me sick? What kind of world is it, where I must pretend to be elegant? Besides… I am just an ordinary civilian, so why do I have to restrain myself?" As Dong Manman ranted non-stop, An Qi rolled her eyes.

An Qi knew that no one could make Dong Manman understand or think differently about her behavior. Hence, the only way that she knew to handle it was by turning a deaf ear.

Suddenly, Dong Manman's ranting stopped. An Qi turned around and saw that Leng Jin had arrived. Sure enough, only this man could cause this mad woman to contain her crazy!

However, Leng Jin did not come alone. Behind him was another man. He was a mixed-race man, who was much taller than Leng Jin.

"Sorry that we're late." Leng Jin smiled at the two women warmly.

Dong Manman was mesmerized by his smile as she replied sweetly, "You're not late! We're early!"

An Qi looked back at the hopelessly mesmerized Dong Manman, then gestured with her eyes for her friend to greet Leng Jin and the tall man behind him as well.

She then said, "I'd like to introduce you to Ms. Dong Manman. You should have heard her name. She's going to open a studio in Paris soon."

"Hello." The tall man stretched out his hand to greet Dong Manman.

With a shy face, she lowered her head and extended the back of her hand toward him, as if she was waiting for him to kiss it. Seeing the awkward situation, An Qi hurriedly pressed down Dong Manman's hand.

She then immediately asked, pretending to be curious, "Mr. Leng, this must be your friend from the fashion world. How should we address him?"

"Oh… Oops…I forgot that I only introduced the ladies…" Leng Jin was clearly embarrassed by his unintended faux pas. "This is Wu Linzhi, the latest favorite of Paris Fashion Week."

"Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you."

After Leng Jin's introduction, An Qi observed this good-looking guy. She had to agree that he possessed the criteria of an ideal guy, one who many young people would adore.

It was no wonder that Dong Manman was mesmerized by him. An Qi thought that her friend would certainly never get bored looking at him!

However, An Qi thought about him differently. She felt that, although Wu Linzhi was tall, his manner of dress did not suit his appearance at all. In comparison, An Qi much preferred her husband.

Huh, Why did I suddenly return to thinking of Leng Yuchen yet again?

Just as An Qi was in deep in thought, Wu Linzhi came closer to her. Now, it was his turn to scrutinize her!
