Hunting for Love for 101 Times

Chapter 48 - Who told you it is over?

Chapter 48 Who told you it is over?

Lian Kang’s words made Xia Nuan worried. She only hoped that her designs would be lucky enough to make Ye Sichen satisfied, even if the chance was slim to 10%.

Because of the costume affair, Xia Nuan could not leave the place. Therefore, she had no choice but stay in the room, waiting for the message from Lian Kang.

Xia Nuan was confused. Coupled with the fear that Mr. X might ask her for compensation, she reluctantly picked out the clothes bought by Mr. X and put it on. If he knew from the chips that she didn’t wear those clothes, he might come over to threaten her for the compensation.

“Nuan, Manager Lian wanted to see you in his office.”

Outside the door, a female staff knocked at the door.

Xia Nuan followed her to Lian Kang’s office.

Seeing Xia Nuan, Lian Kang walked over to her, seeming to be extremely anxious, “The design drawings are all taken by Mr. Ye, but the size is not correct. Mr. Ye needs you to measure his waist size.”

Xia Nuan felt incredible to hear that. She opened her mouth wide.

Did her clothing design really reach the pink of perfection?

It took a long time for her to learn that she had to measure Ye Sichen’s waist size.

Xia Nuan finally realized the fact. She shook her head, “The tailors are responsible for his size. Do I have to go?”

She didn’t have the courage to face Ye Sichen. Imaging she was facing Ye Sichen, but he looked at her coldly and contemptuously, she felt suffocated.

That kind of complexion was the last thing she would like to see.

But Lian Kang frowned and insisted that she had to go there, “Mr. Ye ordered you to go there, so you have to go. Don’t dawdle! After a while, the bodyguard will drive here to pick you up.”

“Mr. Lian Kang, I, I am a little uncomfortable, and I feel dizzy as soon as I get on the car...”

“You can stay here, but I will assume you are afraid and guilty. The unaccomplished design means a series of possible lawsuits to you. Because in a sense, you are deemed as a thief who stole the costumes.”

Lian Kang said reasonably.

Xia Nuan was in a dilemma and frowned.

It seemed that she had to go there.

“All right. Please tell the bodyguard to wait for a moment. I will come soon.” Xia Nuan thought about it and turned back to her room.

She wore a mask with her hair coiled, and dressed herself in formal before turning up in front of Lian Kang.

Lian Kang frowned, “Why do you wear a mask? Don’t you know it is a disrespect to Mr. Ye?”

After that, he pulled her mask off and threw it into the trash can.

Xia Nuan wanted to stop him, but Lian Kang directly pushed her into the car.

Sitting in the car, she was so frightened that her palms were in a cold sweat. She looked at the high-rise buildings passing by outside the window anxiously.

Thinking of meeting with Ye Sichen in a while, she was flustered. However, inexplicably, there was a bit of expectation inside her heart.

After some time, the bodyguard stopped the car. Xia Nuan followed the bodyguard and got off the car. She saw three towering buildings located in the bustling downtown of Feicheng City.

Here was the Feicheng International Arena. The bodyguard said that Ye Sichen was rehearsing here to prepare for the charity concert.

Stepping into the arena, Xia Nuan felt that she entered a spacious and splendid space. The rhythmical and dynamic music rang out and the voice was natural and ethereal, which made her intoxicated.

Xia Nuan seemed to be a little at a loss. She lowered her head and worried that she could not control her affections to look for Ye Sichen in that dreamy venue.

“1, 2, 3, yes, you are great! Just follow the rhythm...” Ye Sichen’s tender voice echoed in the arena.

“Mr. Ye is right there. Please wait a minute. I will go to inform Mr. Ye.”

The bodyguard was not Bill, so he didn’t know Xia Nuan. Then he walked towards the flashing place.

Xia Nuan looked up and saw a thin figure in a white shirt. He was leading a bunch of dancers under the rhythm of the music. Since holding a concert was a great consumption of physical strength, Ye Sichen only contributed a little strength during the rehearsals to keep his status steady. The seemingly random lazy dance steps were so lifeless by others, but for him, it was so beautiful and charming, even his walking was full of magic. Xia Nuan did not know how to describe it. Perhaps, he was born with charm and magic, and he mastered the rhythm so well that no one would surpass him.

With a headset, Ye Sichen sounded the syllables with his sexy voice. Inadvertently, a beautiful image of a woman came into his sight. Suddenly, he became solemn. Then he slowed down his dance steps and smiled.

The bodyguard walked over and whispered a few words to the rehearsal director. Then the director went to the center of the dance floor and said something in Ye Sichen’s ear. Ye Sichen nodded and continued to rehearse.

Xia Nuan felt that those people who were headed by Ye Sichen on the stage looked towards her. Immediately, she bowed her head and held a book to block the sight casting over there.

“Mr. Ye asked you to wait for him in the lounge room.” The bodyguard came over and said to Xia Nuan.

Then Xia Nuan was taken to the lounge room by the bodyguard.

She thought that Ye Sichen was still in rehearsal. But he went to the lounge room earlier before she realized it.

In the lounge room, Ye Sichen and a few dancers leaned against the drinking platform to drink water. He seriously explained to the dancers how to move and pace freely with a towel on his shoulder.

Xia Nuan really didn’t want to get in and her footsteps were fixed like she was rooted there.

“Mr. Ye, it seems that the designer is here.” A dancer facing Xia Nuan whispered to Ye Sichen who was with his back to Xia Nuan.

Ye Sichen turned around slightly, took a sip of water, and had a look at Xia Nuan, “Well, wait a moment.”

Xia Nuan still kept her head down. She obediently walked in, and then found a seat to sit.

His tone was very tender without any indifference. Probably, he had not recognized who she was. After all, before she came, she scattered her long hair deliberately to cover her face.

“Mochi, take them to rehearse first.” Ye Sichen patted the male dancer who was standing opposite to Xia Nuan.

Xun Mochi nodded and led them to the rehearsal field.

Before leaving, he closed the door of the lounge room. For a while, the atmosphere of the space became depressing.

However, the room was very spacious.

Xia Nuan even felt that she could not breathe smoothly.

It was quiet and silent as that the drop of a needle could be heard. Xia Nuan’s heart beat violently, but she had to force herself to calm down.

She took the cloth ruler and stood up, “Mr. Ye, can I measure your size now?”

Ye Sichen took a sip of water, and then put the water on the drinking platform. He stared at Xia Nuan, but Xia Nuan lowered her head and only looked at the cloth ruler.

He ripped off his white shirt with his slender hands, and then slowly approached her with his upper body naked.

“You don’t need to take off your clothes.” Xia Nuan was panicked. She subconsciously looked upwards. Seeing that he was staring at her, she hung down her eyes once again.

Her face blushed.

“It will be more accurate if I take off the clothes.” Ye Sichen approached her step by step, “Go ahead.”

He was as calm as usual as if he forgot that she had worked for him before.

Xia Nuan passively took the cloth ruler and wrapped the ruler around his waist. The posture seemed like she was trying to hug him. How embarrassing that is.

Ye Sichen stared at her without a word.

There was no spare tire on his waist. He was strong and muscular. But if he put on clothes, his waist seemed fine.

Xia Nuan concealed her inner excitement and finally finished the measurement. Next, she was going to measure his bust, shoulder breadth, and leg length.

Obviously, it was an easy task at ordinary times, but Xia Nuan felt that she was doing an extremely difficult task, because the person before her was Ye Sichen.

“Seems like you are living a happy life.” Ye Sichen suddenly broke the silence.

Xia Nuan was fixed. She raised her head and caught his eyes. His eyes were gleaming, bright and piercing as before. Every time she met his eyes, her heart missed a beat.

“Have you stayed at Feicheng City all the time?” He had nothing to say except for this.

“Yes, sir.” Xia Nuan was not willing to mention it.

“Haven’t you missed Wuyou and Nianci after you left?” He continued to ask.

Xia Nuan felt a little sad and laughed at herself, “Those who have “stains” in their lives like me do not deserve to look after the pure and lovely babies.”

She did not forget his words when he drove her away. He said that she was a fallen and shameless woman, a gambler.

Ye Sichen frowned.

When the cloth ruler was placed on his arm, she accidentally touched his hand. She felt that her whole body was electrified and she quickly retracted her hands.

“Considering that you had took care of my babies, I allowed your sister Xia Yan to stay and work for me. What are you gonna do to repay me?”

Ye Sichen said again. “I have nothing to do with her.” Xia Nuan said that with a little sadness.

“Sure enough. Xia Yan was absolutely right. You are a ruthless woman.” Ye Sichen deliberately provoked her.

“Well, I am ruthless. She’s right about everything.” Xia Nuan laughed helplessly.

“How about your ex-husband? Has he looked for you?”

“No.” Xia Nuan answered concisely.

She did not have an ex-husband. She had said that she was divorced because she did not want him to have bias on her unmarried birth affairs.

“Xia Yan said that if your ex-husband lost money after gambling, he would ask you for money, is it true?” He asked her tentatively.

“I didn’t marry anyone. There’s no ex-husband. I did give birth to a child, but I delivered the child out of wedlock. I lied to you before. Do you think that I am even more shameless?” Xia Nuan directly confessed the past.

She was fed up with the nonsense stories that Xia Yan made up in front of Ye Sichen.

Ye Sichen felt jolted when he looked at her cold complexion.

For a long time, they didn’t say a word in the lounge room.

After Xia Nuan measured his sizes, she found that neither she forgot to write them down nor she was not reminded by Ye Sichen, which contributed to a second measurement.

“It seems that you are a bit absent-minded.” Ye Sichen smiled slightly.

“I’m sorry for my carelessness.” Xia Nuan blushed with embarrassment. This time, she recorded the sizes of Ye Sichen carefully.

After writing the sizes down, Xia Nuan was going to leave.

“Where are you going?”

“It’s over. I’ll leave you in peace, sir.” Xia Nuan just wanted to escape.

“Who told you it is over? Not yet.” He elegantly put on his shirt, and slowly tied the buttons.

He stopped Xia Nuan with his overbearing words.

“I have measured all.” Xia Nuan stressed.

“How many designs did you give me?”

“Eight.” Xia Nuan answered.

“Then one measurement for one design drawing.”

“...” Xia Nuan lost her ability to speak.

What?

It was reasonable to measure eight times for eight people, because different people had different sizes. But it was the same person she’s facing...

“I am a little hungry. Have dinner with me.” Ye Sichen took a look at the watch. He was not consulting with her but commanding.
