Chapter 460: Chapter 460_1 Chapter 460: Chapter 460_1 Since both sides were engulfed in darkness, there weren’t many cameras focusing on this area; all attentions were riveted on the models strutting on the stage.
Qiao Xiaren nodded and followed Wang Yi backstage.
With Qiao Xiaren gone, only two men were left sitting on the side watching the show. The atmosphere suddenly turned a bit off. Si Limo’s aura became oppressive and cold, his expression unchanged, but it gave a feeling of unease to those around him.
Chu Yifei still had a faint smile on his lips, but his intimidating aura was also beginning to radiate in the darkness.
“Chu Yifei, stay away from her.”
“Are you scared?” Chu Yifei chuckled lightly, “It seems your standing in Xiaren’s heart isn’t very high. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so worried about me being near or far from her. Are you afraid she’ll fall in love with me?”
Si Limo’s heart skipped a beat; he felt like he had been hit where it hurt.
Isn’t it said that, when in love, the one who falls first is the weak one? He was the one who fell first, and naturally, he worried more.
The models were still parading on the T-Stage and the two men were sitting underneath, ostensibly talking but not really looking at one another. It gave off a strange vibe.
For some reason, Si Limo suddenly felt a change in Chu Yifei’s aura. It was no longer as warm and gentle as jade, but there was a sense of an eerie charm about him.
Indeed, people did have hidden characteristics.
Feeling a touch of irritation in his heart, it certainly wasn’t because he thought he couldn’t measure up to Chu Yifei. More so, it was the fact that someone coveted the woman he loved, which made him feel sour.
Si Limo’s finger unintentionally rubbed Qiao Xiaren’s seat a few times, his hand resting on it, as if making some kind of decision.
This couldn’t continue, the Qiao family have already become his barrier, and now there was Chu Yifei too. For some reason, he felt like he might not be able to marry Xiaren in two years’ time.
How was this acceptable?
“Si Limo, Xiaren is single now, and I can pursue her openly. You have no right to stop me.” Seeing Si Limo’s increasingly cold face, Chu Yifei’s smile widened, his tone provocative, “I’ve rarely seen such a girl in all these years. I think, Xiaren might just fall in love with me.”
“I won’t give you that chance.”
“Is that so? We’ll see.”
Qiao Xiaren had already arrived backstage at this time, obviously unaware of the silent war between two men at the front of the show. Wang Jingsheng was currently outlining a design, which had already taken a preliminary shape on the pattern paper.
What surprised her was that even Bolton was around, intermittently pointing out a few designs and giving suitable advice. The two of them were communicating in very fluent English, which Qiao Xiaren had no problem understanding.
“Brother, Xiaren is here!”
Wang Jingsheng looked up and saw Qiao Xiaren coming. His face didn’t show much emotional change, yet his calm demeanor was alluring.
“So, this is Ranran?” Wang Jingsheng smiled, feeling quite amazed in his heart.
“Cousin, why did you ask me backstage?” Qiao Xiaren looked over at Bolton, “Mr. Bolton, it’s been a long time.”
“Miss Qiao.” When Bolton saw Qiao Xiaren, his eyes lit up. He went forward and shook hands with her, “I never would’ve guessed that Miss Xiaren is Mr. Wang’s sister. It seems that indeed, I made the right choice by coming here.”
Seeing Qiao Xiaren’s slightly confused expression, Bolton explained once again, “I’ve left Zara and am now a team member of CKner.”
