Chapter 81: The 55th day of dating, I’m making up the makeup artist...
Chapter 81 The 55th day of dating After sending the makeup artist away...
After sending the makeup artist away, Wu Yunxi returned to the room, looked in the mirror, and sent a photo to Quan Zhilong. Unfortunately, Quan Zhilong was probably still asleep, so he didn't reply.
Wu Yunxi didn't mind, she just wanted to share her happiness with Quan Zhilong. After playing with her phone for a while, Wu Yunxi received a call from the driver, who was already waiting downstairs.
Wu Yunxi packed her things and took a handbag to carry her phone. After confirming her makeup, she put a lipstick in her bag for touch-ups, then took the room card and went out. She took the elevator downstairs, and the driver who came to pick her up was waiting at the hotel entrance. Wu Yunxi walked straight over, confirmed the message, and got in the car.
The driver drove Wu Yunxi to the venue. The banquet was held in a castle, with a first-floor banquet hall. The evening fashion show would also be held there. After the banquet, the host would invite everyone to a different venue and quickly prepare the venue for the show.
Wu Yunxi got out of the car and saw her friend waiting for guests at the entrance. She walked over and exchanged a kiss on the cheek, but her friend had to entertain other guests and didn't have much time to chat, so she stayed for a moment before heading inside.
Besides Wu Yunxi, there were quite a few other people present, each holding a glass of wine, ready to take a sip. Wu Yunxi didn't want to drink directly, but her fame didn't draw much attention at such a gathering. However, some people would come up to her and greet her, and she would take a sip.
After a few such occasions, Wu Yunxi decided she really needed to eat something, otherwise, she would find it too much to handle.
After greeting several people, Wu Yunxi walked over to the food area, picked up a small plate nearby, and made some choices. Then, he went to a nearby sofa to rest for a while. After a quick bite, Wu Yunxi felt better, but such seclusion only lasted a short while. Soon, Wu Yunxi packed up and headed back to Vanity Fair.
From a distance, he could see the clinking of glasses, toasts exchanged, whether in celebration or conversation. Wu Yunxi would occasionally stand aside and chat with others.
He stayed for nearly an hour, even listening to a friend speak on stage. The crowd was so overwhelming that he felt a bit suffocated, so he packed up and headed outside.
The door opened a crack and then closed again. The noise wasn't loud, so aside from those near the door, no one else noticed. Even if they had noticed, Wu Yunxi didn't seem to mind.
Once outside, the air felt fresher, and the breeze slowly lifted the alcohol from his body. Wu Yunxi then slowly reentered the banquet hall.
Inside, the scene remained largely unchanged from when Wu Yunxi had left, though the people interacting with him had changed. Wu Yunxi's return didn't attract much attention, but a friend who had been talking to someone else did notice. He exchanged a few words with the person who was speaking and then walked over to Wu Yunxi.
"Are you still not used to it?"
The two met and later became friends because Wu Yunxi had been away from a banquet for a while, and their interactions had gradually begun. So, it was natural for his friend to ask him that.
"It's okay, I just had a few drinks."
Wu Yunxi smiled and honestly expressed his feelings. They were already close friends, so even such direct expressions of feelings were not a problem. Especially after his friend became famous, more people around him had complex thoughts, but Wu Yunxi never had any of these. He would even express his thoughts directly.
Of course, this didn't mean he would just say anything offensive. Wu Yunxi was very measured, saying what needed to be said and not saying what shouldn't, and he also knew how to speak according to the situation. To put it bluntly, Wu Yunxi was a person with high emotional intelligence.
"It's rare. You've improved a little after not seeing each other for so long."
This was the way Wu Yunxi interacted with this friend. However, they didn't let these small things hurt their relationship; instead, it was a good way to communicate.
"Of course, don't underestimate me."
Wu Yunxi's proud expression made his friend laugh. After a smile, the two of them dropped the topic and went their separate ways to continue chatting with other people.
After staying at the party for a while longer, Wu Yunxi found his friend and said a word before leaving. In fact, it wasn't just Wu Yunxi; some people had also gone outside to browse. Wu Yunxi also felt that staying was pointless, so she simply said something and left.
When Wu Yunxi returned before dinner, the banquet hall had been completely transformed. Wu Yunxi internally marveled at the power of money, but didn't show it on her face. After everyone had eaten, the theme for the day was revealed.
When the invitations were distributed, everyone received a small hint about the show's theme. Exchanging invitations with others might reveal the full details, but many people did
n't read the invitations after entering the venue, so most people were puzzled by the mystery surrounding the theme. They had never expected the designer to include a puzzle.
It was after the event, when Wu Yunxi returned to Seoul and talked about it with Kwon Ji-yong, that she recalled the incident her friend, the designer, had mentioned during his speech on stage after the show.
Most people in the audience were surprised, but only after exchanging invitations did they realize there was such a big secret. However, this funny thing was also written into the media’s report. Many people saw it and discussed it. Fortunately, not many people made some bad remarks because of it. Everyone just started discussing it because they thought it was fun.
The show was scheduled for three hours. After it was over, everyone had an hour left to choose whether to customize such clothes. Wu Yunxi went back to the hotel first after it was over. Her status was somewhat different from that of some of the people who participated in this event. For Wu Yunxi, there were actually very few such occasions. Even in the circle, she was just a behind-the-scenes figure. So, after watching this show, she thought the clothes were really beautiful, but it was a pity that they were not her style.
The first thing Wu Yunxi did after returning to the hotel was to send a message to Quan Zhilong. Then she changed her clothes and went to the bathroom to fill the bathtub. It took quite a while to wash up, and by the time she was out of the bathroom, Wu Yunxi was already drowsy. She even forced herself to send a message to Quan Zhilong saying she was going to sleep. When she woke up in the morning, she realized that there was a typo in the message she sent the night before.
It just showed as read, and Wu Yunxi couldn't say anything else. Fortunately, Quan Zhilong didn't tease Wu Yunxi about this little episode. Wu Yunxi originally wanted to play here for a while, but under the urging of Quan Zhilong, she packed up her things and boarded the plane back home the next day after the event.
When she finally arrived in Seoul, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
After getting off the plane, the airport was mostly empty. After grabbing her luggage, Wu Yunxi exited the airport gates and noticed the streets were deserted. However, some drivers, eager to make money, were waiting for passengers leaving the airport at this hour.
Wu Yunxi hadn't actually told Kwon Ji-yong about her return. Even when Kwon Ji-yong contacted her the previous night, she'd said she wanted to stay out for two more days, which was why he didn't come to pick her up at the airport.
The decision to return was a spur-of-the-moment decision. She had indeed intended to stay out for two more days, but seeing the reluctance and longing on his face as he hung up the phone, Wu Yunxi felt her yearning for him reach its peak. She immediately booked a flight, took an early morning flight, and arrived in Seoul in the early hours of the morning.
Almost a day had already passed on the plane, and on the way home, Wu Yunxi received a call from Kwon Ji-yong.
The ringing startled Wu Yunxi, assuming Kwon Ji-yong had discovered her return. But she couldn't ignore the call. So, after a while, Wu Yunxi finally answered it.
Quan Zhilong had to attend an event early this morning, so he got up early. He remembered that according to the time difference, it was afternoon where Wu Yunxi was now, so he made a video call to Wu Yunxi. However, after the video was connected, Quan Zhilong felt something was wrong.
"Yunxi, where are you now?"
Wu Yunxi did not expect Quan Zhilong to be so perceptive, but since the other party asked this, Wu Yunxi would not lie, hmm. She did not lie.
"I'm in the car now, and I'm going to move to another place."
Quan Zhilong originally thought that according to the time, the place where Wu Yunxi was should not be such a dim environment, but after Wu Yunxi explained this, Quan Zhilong felt that he was thinking too much.
"The lady has arrived."
