As Tang Xi posed, the camera kept clicking. Ning Yan said, “Very good! Your beauty is natural and that is the most precious thing for this season.”

Hearing his words, He Wanyi who was about to change clothes stopped her steps and looked back at Tang Xi. Then her eyes grew dim and she gave a self-deprecating smile, murmuring, “What are you thinking of? He deserves a girl as excellent as her, doesn’t he?”

Qiao Liang who was watching them shooting photos frowned when he noticed He Wanyi’s look, but he didn’t say anything in the end.

He Wanyi soon changed clothes and Tang Xi was going to change too. When she walked past He Wanyi, she smiled at He Wanyi who nodded at her. Tang Xi noticed He Wanyi was acting a bit strange, but she didn’t say anything. She also nodded at He Wanyi politely and went into the nanny van to change.

When Tang Xi changed clothes, He Wanyi hadn’t begun the shoot yet. Tang Xi gave a questioning look to Ning Yan who said with a smile, “Now it’s time for the two queens to shoot some photos together.”

He Wanyi frowned. “We are in the photos together?”

Tang Xi was okay with it. When she discussed with Ning Yan about the shoot, she proposed to shoot some posters with both of them in.

She had no experience in shooting promotion clips, so she put forward the idea to Ning Yan who agreed with her. Although he did say that he might consider shooting the duet posters provided that Tang Xi performed well. Now she had just modelled for two sets of photos and Ning Yan had asked them to shoot the duet posters, which meant that she did a good job.

Ning Yan nodded. “Yes, since we’ve invited the queen of the business circle and that of the entertainment circle, we should take the chance to shoot some duet posters. Besides, it’s the first time that Tang Xi is cooperating with a fashion company and you’re the first person from the entertainment industry that she is working with. I think you two will have some chemistry.”

Hearing his words, He Wanyi raised her eyebrows and looked at Ning Yan, asking, “Do you mean that I should feel honored?”

Ning Yan frowned. “You know I don’t mean that.”

“It’s my honor.” Tang Xi said, “If it weren’t for Miss He, I wouldn’t have had such a chance. It’s my honor to cooperate with Miss He.”

Although He Wanyi was a bit unhappy at Ning Yan’s words, she felt a bit ashamed when she heard Tang Xi’s words.

She blushed and scratched her hair awkwardly, saying, “I’m flattered, Miss Tang. Ning Yan was right. You’re very excellent. You’re not only a legend in the business circle, but also very popular in the fashion industry. You’re nearly perfect. It’s my honor to be cooperating with you.”

Tang Xi became shy hearing He Wanyi praise her like this. She gave a shy smile, saying, “Then let’s learn from each other.”

He Wanyi took a breath and said with a smile, “Okay.”

Ning Yan looked at the two of them and raised his eyebrows. He found that this Tang Xi was really special. She immediately noticed He Wanyi’s attitude was strange and managed to change He Wanyi’s attitude towards her with just a few words. He wondered whether it was because Tang Xi was smart or because she was sophisticated.

Soon the two of them began to shoot the photos. They two acted in harmony as if they were good friends for a long time. In one photo, Tang Xi sat on a chair and He Wanyi stood beside her. Tang Xi felt a bit uneasy, because she called He Wanyi Sister Wanyi when she was Xiao Rou, but now she sat while He Wanyi stood. She felt unaccustomed to it.

He Wanyi seemed to know what Tang Xi was thinking. She put a hand onto Tang Xi’s shoulder and Tang Xi frowned and looked back at He Wanyi in surprise. He Wanyi smiled and said to her in a lowered voice, “Miss Tang is even more excellent than I imagined. No wonder so many people like you.”

Tang Xi frowned and looked at He Wanyi and her eyes had a gleam of surprise. He Wanyi said with a smile, “I love a man and I’ve loved him for a long time, but then I found your photo in his laptop. I was very upset and wondered why he loved you instead of me, but now I know the reason. You are better than me indeed.”

Tang Xi frowned and blinked. Did Sister Wanyi love Qiao Liang?!

Just then, Ning Yan pressed the shutter and laughed. “This photo is perfect.”

Tang Xi didn’t look at Ning Yan but turned her eyes to He Wanyi again and asked with a frown, “May I ask who the man you love is, Miss He?”

“I don’t know whether you know him, but I’m sure he knows you.” Then she gave a self-deprecating smile. “If he doesn’t know you, how could he fall in love with you?”

“Miss, your phone.” Just when He Wanyi was about to continue, Qiao Liang came over holding a phone. He interrupted He Wanyi and said to Tang Xi, “It’s from Miss Xiao.”

Tang Xi looked up at Qiao Liang. “Miss Xiao?” Come on, Miss Xiao is right here, alright?

Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi and nodded, asking, “Aren’t you going to answer the call, Miss?”

Tang Xi picked up the call and narrowed her eyes at Qiao Liang, asking darkly, “Are you the man who Sister Wanyi loves?”

Qiao Liang frowned and Tang Xi put the phone against her ear and stared at Qiao Liang. “Why are you giving me that look? Is it really you?!”

“She loves Xiao Yao.” Qiao Liang said with a straight face.

Tang Xi widened her eyes and stared at Qiao Liang. “What?!”

So Qiao Liang knew Yao liked her? When did he know that?

“Yes, he likes you.” Qiao Liang looked into Tang Xi’s eyes and said, “He Wanyi has been in love with Xiao Yao since her childhood, but she dared not confess her love to Xiao Yao. Perhaps she is afraid of being rejected.”

Tang Xi frowned. “Then what did she mean by her words?”

She must pretend that she didn’t know Yao liked her! Otherwise, Qiao Liang would be jealous again! Oh, not again...

Qiao Liang narrowed his eyes and gazed at Tang Xi. It had been quite a while before he said, “Forget it. You don’t have to know that. After all, you’re very insensitive to these matters.”

Tang Xi grunted in response and didn’t refute him. It was not a bad thing that Qiao Liang thought she was insensitive to love affairs. Then Qiao Liang would never know she already knew that Yao liked her, and Yao would also never know that she had long known of his love for her.

Then no one would be embarrassed.
