Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: End less Fantasy Translation
As Rong Qi was in the hall, her phone buzzed incessantly. She guessed it was probably Jian Yunyan messaging her to inquire about the situation.
Sure enough, when Rong Qi unlocked her phone, messages were flooding the chat group named “Worldly Explorers”. Surprisingly, they weren’t discussing recent events but were embroiled in a debate about what to eat, led by Jian Yunzhou and Jian Yunheng.
A small twitch formed at the corner of Rong Qi’s mouth.
‘So, Yunyan had no intention of asking me about what had just happened?’
After finishing reading the message to the bottom, Rong Qi pondered for a moment before typing, [Yunyan, I accidentally wore your latest design @TranquilYan.]
Rong Qi’s message detonated like a grenade, bringing the lurking brothers in the chat to the surface.
CharmingZhou: [What happened, Rong Rong? What do you mean ‘accidentally’? Need us to fight for you? Just send me your location. I’m ready to roll.]
FearlessHeng: [Do you need a lawyer, Rong Rong?]
SereneXiao: [Need money?]
Rong Qi didn’t respond. She had merely worn the wrong outfit, not planning to blow up a building.
But before Rong Qi could clarify, more messages appeared.
SereneXiao: [@TranquilYan, what’s going on? Is your design something Rong Rong can’t wear? What’s the dispute? Sort it out.]
CharmingZhou: [Yeah, what’s the deal? It’s just an outfit, how can it become such a big issue?]
SteadfastCheng: [@TranquilYan, shall I issue you a lawyer’s letter over a piece of raggedy clothing?]
Rong Qi was at a loss for words.
‘Did they really think it was just a piece of “raggedy clothing”? It was haute couture that many people would envy.’
Just as Rong Qi was about to message Jian Yunyan to explain, she found that she had been muted.
Rong Qi had no idea what happened.
CharmingZhou: [Don’t make excuses for him. Just watch as your brothers bring you justice. Be good, and go offline.]
Rong Qi felt inexplicably sorry for Jian Yunyan for a brief three seconds.
A minute later, Jian Yunyan finally made his appearance in the chat.
TranquilYan: [I’m not sure what happened. Consider it a reunion gift for Rong Rong. I’ll sort out the rest.]
With that message, the chat finally calmed down.
After a brief moment of silence, Jian Yunyan tagged Rong Qi in the group, [Rong Rong, are you partic.i.p.ating in the design compet.i.tion in two months? It would be beneficial for you, and avoid situations like today where you’re put on the defensive.]
Rong Qi replied.
Sleepyooy: [I don’t want to partic.i.p.ate. I’m not in design anymore.]
However, Jian Yunyan countered.
TranquilYan: [The compet.i.tion in two months will represent our Qiyan Studio line, and may lead to Fashion Week events. Rong Rong, it’s time to reclaim your ident.i.ty as Camellia.]
Rong Qi paused, her fingers hovering over the on-screen keyboard as she contemplated.
After a moment, Rong Qi asked.
Sleepyooy: [I heard that there will be international partic.i.p.ants in this compet.i.tion?]
TranquilYan: [Yes.]
Sleepyoo?: [Do I still have time to enter? Hasn’t the initial selection pa.s.sed, leaving only the finals?]
TranquilYan: [With your reputation as Camellia, do you need to go through the normal channels? Partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion doesn’t gild your resume; it adds prestige to the compet.i.tion itself.]
Rong Qi felt a hint of blush. It was somewhat embarra.s.sing to be praised like that. She typed her response.
Sleepyooy: [Well, then, I’ll go for the experience.]
TranquilYan: [Good, I’ll inform the compet.i.tion committee. Rong Rong, you need to understand, you partic.i.p.ating is their honor. They would be more than thrilled to have you..]
