Chapter 795 – Threateningly Jealous.
Soon after Liam Hui-Ying stormed out to the stage area, the people behind also dispersed leaving Qi Shuai and Feng Yi Lan alone with each other. Li Xue who was standing at a distance also walked away when someone came to call for the dress trials.
Feng Yi Lan's eyes darted to look in the direction where Liam Hui-Ying had walked off. When she no longer found her traces in her vision, she quickly unhooked the arm from Qi Shuai's hold, stepping a little away to create some distance between them. But before she could, a desperate tug on her arm pulled her back, making her eyes go all stunned.
"Where are you going?" Qi Shuai asked. His eyes looked suspiciously at her, trying his best to read her intentions.
Feng Yi Lan stared at him, gulping the lump of weird feeling down her throat. "What are you thinking about? She is gone, now all these things are no longer needed".
"Huh?"
"What 'huh'? Don't look at me like that. I was just helping you out earlier. You have just gotten discharged from the hospital and taking too much stress is not good for your health. So, I just helped you out to drive her away." She said, pulling her hand and quickly stepping back, away from him.
Qi Shuai pondered over her words, giving a quick recap of everything that happened in the last few minutes. In his daze earlier, he hasn't gotten time to look over the things properly. When considered her actions all this while, he could not prevent his lips from curling upwards. He shook his head in nothingness before looking back at her to ask, "You were helping me out all this time?"
Feng Yi Lan nodded with innocence and seeing her nod, Qi Shuai just drew himself closer to her. Without touching her, he eliminated the distance between them. Their breath mingled with each other but not showing any other intentions.
"Really?" He asked again and Yi Lan nodded agreeing.
"Of course! What else do you think?" Her breath, getting a little strained, trying its best to remain casual at their sudden close proximity.
Feng Yi Lan's state of restrainment only made Qi Shuai tease her more. "And what made you think that I wanted to drive her away? I mean I was quite enjoying her company. She was there following me around, treating me with all her best words. I was quite relaxed with her". He said and Feng Yi Lan's eyes grew big at him as if accusing him of cheating on her but not wording out her accusations.
Biting her lips to suppress her agitation, she asked, "You didn't want to drive her away?" The man shook her head in denial and Feng Yi Lan nodded, accepting his words and asking again to confirm. "You were enjoying and feeling all relaxed in her company?"
Qi Shuai again nodded, accepting.
Feng Yi Lan stared at him, giving a pressed smile. Then nodding she agreed, "Fine then, thanks for letting me know and I am sorry that I interrupted you." She said, pushing him away with her hands on his chest. And her deliberate action only made the man chuckle internally.
She was extra cute when she gets threateningly jealous over something!
Pushing him away, Feng Yi Lan was about to walk away again when she got halted again with a gentle tug on her arms. She snapped back to glare at the man only to find him smiling at her.
"Where are you going?" Qi Shua asked, raising his brows of amusement at her.
To which the woman just added, "To bring you back your lovely piece of entertainment. Weren't you missing her?"
Qi Shuai playfully shook his head. "Missing another woman in the presence of my girlfriend … I don't have such audacity. I was just teasing my girlfriend, which I think is quite fair".
"You …" At his words, Feng Yi Lan at once was flustered. "Who is your girlfriend? I was just saying things to help you back then. Neither you have proposed to me, nor I have accepted you. So, in no way you can claim me as your girlfriend". She added, pulling her hands back from his hold.
"You want me to propose to you?" Qi Shuai asked, internally feeling disappointed in himself. How could he forget such an easy thing? Though confession of one's love should stand out, the memorable charms of confession would never steal out the necessity of proposal. How could he forget that just for the fear of rejection, he could not make a girl sacrifice her chance to accept a romantic proposal?
Feng Yi Lan was dumbfounded. Of course, her meaning was not that. She has just said the things that came to her lips, without thinking anything from her brain. "I … I didn't mean it that way. I was just …"
"It's okay. I understood. Now is your event, focus on that. For the rest, we can talk after it ends" Qi Shuai said with some mystery, before walking away with his hands tucked inside his dress pant's pockets.
Behind, Feng Yi Lan was all wordless. She could feel the mystery in his words but before she could ask what he was planning about, the man was already gone, leaving her all puzzled.
"Boss, all the models have gotten ready for the day and Ms. Li Xue is ready in her first look. If you are free, then it would be good for you to come and take a look." At this moment, someone from behind came, snapping Feng Yi Lan out from her thoughts.
"Mhm. I will come along to see. Let's go" She said, before walking back to her pavilion. It was right, now was her time to focus on the event, for the rest, she will look afterward.
Going back, Feng Yi Lan checked every model, guiding them once more on their flaws and asking her staff to look after them for the last time. Completing her work outside, she soon made her way into the dressing room of Li Xue. "Are you ready for your first look?" She asked.
And Li Xue smiled looking at her in the mirror. "Yep, almost. But I am sure that finally, you are ready to accept the love of Director Qi. I am happy for you".
