章節 12: Lonely Silhouette
That night, An Qi could hardly move. It wasn't until Dong Manman's pulled her out that An Qi started to twist and move her stiff neck reluctantly. At that time, her uncoordinated limbs and movements resembled a mummy's!
An Qi sat down at the table angrily. In front of her was a bowl of porridge with a few chives on it, but it could not awaken her taste buds, as her blood was still in a state of coagulation.
At that moment, Dong Manman was dressed like a butterfly, while humming a tune. She was busy in the kitchen with An Yufei, leaving An Qi to sulk alone.
Ding ding…
At that moment, a video call notification was received on the iPad. As An Qi took a glance at it, a revenge plot quickly took shape in her mind. Everyone had to repay what they owed!
An Qi adjusted her facial expression, cleared her throat, then quickly pressed the connect button to answer the video call.
...
However, all that she heard from the other side was silence. After a clear and crisp beeping sound, the dream lover hung up the video call.
Realizing what had just happened, An Qi could not help but think to herself... Hmph! Some dream lover! He's afraid to even speak!
"What was that sound just now?" Dong Manman asked as she wiped her hands on her apron, popped her head from the kitchen, and stared at the suspicious-looking An Qi.
"Nothing..." An Qi was still shocked after experiencing Dong Manman's Ultimate Fancy Mummy Binding Method, so she answered her in a weak tone.
"Oh, don't be in a daze! Come and eat some eggs!" As she spoke, Dong Manman took out a plate of fried eggs and shoved it in front of An Qi. Her cold tone made it sound like she was feeding a cat or dog.
"Who bullied you this morning?" Upon seeing Dong Manman's dejected look, An Qi was in a good mood. Now, even the white porridge and fried eggs tasted exceptionally delicious to her.
As Dong Manman glanced in the direction of the iPad, she remembered that it was not placed on the table just now.
An Qi opened her eyes wide, staring at Dong Manman, while subconsciously scooping spoonfuls of porridge into her mouth. Just as Dong Manman was about to dismiss her doubts, the iPad rang again.
An Qi was anxiously swallowing a bite, and she felt as if an ominous cloud was hanging over her head. However, Dong Manman did not pay much attention to An Qi, but skilfully parted her hair neatly and smiled.
"Hi, long time no see." Dong Manman answered the voice call. Seeing such abnormal behavior on her part, An Qi choked on and spat out the porridge!
"Dong Manman, I'll be in M City in six hours. When I'm bored on the plane, I can help you check out the designs of the latest season." A man's voice could be heard, so An Qi raised her head to take a look.
This voice sounded too good. Ignoring the fact that he looked like her dream lover, his voice alone was enough to charm everyone.
Unlike a traditional newcaster's voice, Dong Manman's dream lover's voice sounded like a cup of warm tea, which made people feel like a spring breeze had just blown over them.
"Er, I'll send it to you!" Dong Manman was excited and started waving her arms, while still maintaining her most beautiful smile as she faced the camera of the iPad.
"Oh, by the way, your friend is very interesting. When I get back, do remember to introduce her to me." After her dream lover ended the video call, Dong Manman finally understood what he meant.
"An Qi, come back here!" she called.
An Qi, who still had some fried eggs in her mouth, rushed all the way into An Yufei's room and hid under her desk like a thief. Dong Manman banged on the door crazily. Had it not been for An Yufei's opening it so calmly, she would have knocked the door down in a rage!
"Yufei, you should leave us and hide, as aunty is going to kill someone..." Dong Manman shouted.
"Oh, whatever you say," An Yufei said as she walked out sideways to give way to Dong Manman. While she was leaving, she pointed to the desk and said, "My mother is hiding over there."
"Hmm, good!" Dong Manman said, while she gave An Yufei a very firm look.
Just when the two women, who had a combined age of about 50 years old, were getting ready for a good fight, An Qi's phone suddenly rang.
"Strange, who else knows my new number besides you?" An Qi stared at her phone and murmured.
"Give it to me." Dong Manman squinted and held out her hand.
"No." An Qi thought that Dong Manman was going to take a revenge on her, so she turned her back like a thief as she answered the phone call.
With her enchanting back facing Dong Manman, An Qi kept nodding as she conversed with the caller.
"Who's that?" Dong Manman asked as she looked at An Qi with scorn.
At that moment, An Qi let out a deafening scream, followed by her giving Dong Manman a loving bear hug. If it had not been for Dong Manman's natural reflexes to cover her ears with her hands, her eardrums would have been ruptured on the spot!
"Manman, that was the Leng Group! I have an interview this afternoon. Quick, get me some clothes and shoes!"
An Qi let go of Dong Manman, who had been strangled by her bear hug, then jumped down from the bed and smiled with joy. Dong Manman then went swiftly into action, and thanks to her help, An Qi was turned into a Barbie doll.
Gazing upon her, Dong Manman choked and drooled. Even someone like her, who was in the fashion industry, had to admit that An Qi's beauty was captivating.
What was most annoying was that An Qi had no idea of her beauty and was always overindulging in food. She had even bounced immediately back to a perfect body right after giving birth to a child!
As An Qi looked in the mirror, she couldn't help but laugh for a few moments. She then asked, "Manman, do you remember what I told you yesterday? If you like a person, you should pursue him boldly, while you still have your beauty. Don't live with regrets. Do you understand me?"
