“Sorry, I’m too busy today.”
“What’s the use of being sorry? How long will it take you to send a message? Are you unwilling to even spend half a minute to send me a message?”
“…”
Fu Jiuxiao was speechless for a moment. He really did not expect things to develop like this, and he did not have the experience to deal with this kind of thing, so he seriously thought about such a simple question for a long time.
If Fu Jiuxiao said he had the time but forgot about Jiang Li, she would probably be even angrier. Jiang Li would still be angry if he said he did not have the time and lied.
“Ah Li, I…”
Fu Jiuxiao did not know what to do.
“Hmph, you don’t love me anymore, right? You b*stard, are you happy that I’m not around and you’re finally free?”
Jiang Li did not know why she blurted out the stupid script she had just heard from a drama when she was bored.
It was not a good thing to have a good memory. However, she wanted to tease Fu Jiuxiao to see how Fu Jiuxiao would react.
Fu Jiuxiao was stunned and did not know how to react.
What? How could his Ah Li think of him like that? How could he not love her?
“Ah Li, how could I not love you? I… I was wrong. I’m sorry. I’ll definitely reply to your messages as soon as possible in the future.”
Fu Jiuxiao’s tone was very anxious. He was afraid that Jiang Li would really be angry.
“Pfft.”
Jiang Li could not hold back her laughter. She could imagine the great President Fu holding his phone in his 100-square-meter office at a loss.
“Okay, I won’t tease you anymore. I’m not that petty. I’m just worried about you.”
Jiang Li held back her urge to laugh. The bad mood of the day became clear at this time.
Fu Jiuxiao heard that Jiang Li was joking, and he let out a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that his palms were sweating.
“Have you had dinner?”
Jiang Li calculated the time. Fu Jiuxiao should have had dinner by now.
“Not yet. I called you back right after the meeting.”
“You’re that busy?”
“It’s okay. It’s the same as usual.”
“Really? I feel that my work is quite easy.”
After thinking for a while, Jiang Li felt that something was wrong. Fu Jiuxiao must have let her do some light work on purpose, and she was immediately dissatisfied.
“I want to share the burden with you. Don’t think that I’m too weak, okay?”
“I just want you to relax and do something that you like.”
Fu Jiuxiao’s tone was calm, but his voice was very gentle. His Ah Li should live a carefree life and do what she liked.
Jiang Li was silent. “… But I also want you to relax a little.”
Yes, she had forgotten one thing. Fu Jiuxiao had to manage such a big company as the Fu Corporation, leaving early and returning late every day. He did not even have a day off for more than 300 days a year.
He was like this every year and he would probably be even busier when she was not around. How tired would he be then? Thinking of this, Jiang Li’s heart ached a little.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. How are you doing in Paris? Are you used to staying in hotels?”
Jiang Li knew that it was not practical to discuss whether Fu Jiuxiao was tired or not at the moment. When her ability improved in the future, she would definitely help Fu Jiuxiao deal with the company’s matters.
“The hotel is pretty good, but I ran into Jiang Man again.”
Jiang Li told Fu Jiuxiao about the general situation.
“Why is it her again? If you’re really tired of her, ask the bodyguards to throw her out and keep her away from you.”
Jiang Li was amused. “How can I be so unreasonable? If she wants to participate, just let her participate. Anyway, she will be the one who gets slapped in the face, and it will be really embarrassing overseas.”
“I’ll listen to you. If there’s anything, you must tell me. The bodyguards must not be more than ten meters away from you.”
“I know, I know. You have to eat well too. The food outside isn’t that healthy, si you should eat what the butler prepared. You should eat more!”
If Fu Jiuxiao did not eat that medicinal food every few days, it would not be good.
Fu Jiuxiao felt a little warm in his heart. His Ah Li still cared about him very much.
The two of them chatted for a while longer, and Fu Jiuxiao went to eat. Jiang Li took a shower, and it was getting late. The design competition would officially start the next day, so Jiang Li had to go to bed early.
After saying good night to Fu Jiuxiao, Jiang Li went to bed.
The next day, the Paris Fashion Design Competition was on the local news and the headlines of every country, attracting the attention of every country.
Every designer brought their own meticulously designed clothes. Some of the designer’s clothes were from a series, and there were several pieces. Some were in a group of three or four pieces, and some were just a single piece like Qing Xin.
The competition lasted for three days. On the first day, the new designers brought their works to be displayed. The judges were all internationally famous designers and designers.
On the second day, some more famous and influential designers brought their personal works to be displayed. Qing Xin’s works were displayed on that day.
On the third day, it was the award ceremony.
