Chapter 1550 - 1552

"By the way, are you designing something?" Gong Ruini noticed Gong Jiaxin was designing a gown.

The key point is there are both men’s and women’s versions.

The impression is, "Are you designing a wedding dress?"

Although it could reluctantly be called a gown, this gown is far from ordinary.

"Hmm, what do you think?" Gong Jiaxin handed her design sketch to Gong Ruini.

"I think it’s okay." Anyway, there’s not much novelty, but it seems she’s utilized the trends of this era.

"Okay means there’s no novelty." Gong Jiaxin instantly understood what Gong Ruini didn’t explicitly say.

"But how did you get this order?" Gong Ruini was really curious. Ever since designing a gown for a minor celebrity last time, it seemed like business had been slow.

Suddenly no business for a while, and then she directly receives a wedding dress order, this isn’t a joke.

Even if marriages nowadays don’t necessarily last, a wedding is still really important to every woman, and so is a wedding dress.

Gong Jiaxin was quite baffled, "I too don’t know. Someone approached me saying they liked the gown I designed last time."

"God knows, I looked through tons of newspapers and magazines, and didn’t see any reports, so how did someone take notice of my design?"

Ah, "No way." That was Gong Jiaxin’s first time independently designing a dress for someone, and a celebrity, which was naturally very exciting.

Unfortunately, there was hardly any splash, just a couple of good reviews, which didn’t seem to do much. Yet, surprisingly, there was more to come.

"By the way, I remember the design last time was simple." It was designed that way because the client was on a tight budget, otherwise, they wouldn’t have come to Gong Jiaxin, of course, the design was based on the budget they were willing to spend.

Gong Jiaxin nodded, "Last time, the money was insufficient, so I had to design that way, but this time, it’s different."

"This time, the client has money." No need for such calculations.

Not a matter of lacking money, the reason for coming to Gong Jiaxin must be simple, "She probably appreciates your design style. Simple yet flavorful."

At this moment, Gong Ruini realized what she had felt was off before - it didn’t follow Gong Jiaxin’s usual style.

"I remember your last design had a touch of oriental flavor."

"Perhaps this person is quite fond of that mysterious oriental vibe." Of course, this was just a reminder from Gong Ruini, Gong Jiaxin knew better about how to proceed.

Gong Jiaxin pondered for a moment, "I’ll give it a try, I’ll prepare a few designs and see what she chooses."

Since she currently had no other orders, she had to work harder.

Watching Gong Jiaxin diligently working on her design sketches, Gong Ruini finished her coffee and headed upstairs.

Such nice weather, if she couldn’t take the baby out, they could stroll on the terrace, and they could have a barbecue dinner.

She had specially designed a BBQ spot on the terrace, though it had been some time since they moved in, they had only used it once right after moving in, and then it was mostly neglected.

Gong Ruini wandered into the kitchen to check their supplies. Although there weren’t many people, fortunately, they were used to buying quite a lot and keeping them in the fridge; otherwise, BBQ would have been difficult.

As for handling the food, weren’t Gong Ruzhi and Wan Yihui the main forces responsible for it? They would take care of it.

Of course, the grilling and cleaning work afterward, Gong Ruini was unabashedly assigning to Gong Ruzhi and his team. Whether they objected or not, she wasn’t concerned.

When in a bad mood, just bully whoever you can.

=====

Gong Ruini yawned, flipped over ready to sleep, and suddenly noticed the light shining through the curtains.

"Oh my, it’s not early." Ever since having a child, she rarely experienced the feeling of waking naturally.

But why was there no noise today? Even though Pingping and the others couldn’t walk, once they were awake, they’d make a fuss and cry.

And they’d insist on being brought to Gong Ruini, otherwise, they wouldn’t stop fussing.

Gong Ruini slowly sat up. Though she didn’t know the reason, it must have something to do with Zhao Xuran.

Just as she sat up, Gong Ruini noticed the flowers on the bedside table, they were white roses with dewdrops on them.

"Eh, why flowers for me?" Gong Ruini was truly puzzled.

Even after having children, Zhao Xuran never sent flowers, mainly because he thought plants were better than flowers; they could be seen more often.

When Zhao Xuran arranged the terrace, he insisted on creating a sunroom for Gong Ruini to plant her favorite white roses.

The intention was that if you enjoyed flowers, you could appreciate them slowly. "Today is meant to be a surprise for me?"

As Gong Ruini picked up the flowers, she wondered what special day it was to receive flowers.

An anniversary of their relationship? The day they first met?

Gong Ruini mentally ticked off the possibilities, none matched, so why the sudden flowers?

If it were Zhao Guangran, it wouldn’t require much thought; he’d say every day was Valentine’s Day for two people together.

The problem was, this was Zhao Xuran, and he wouldn’t do something so trivial.

"Eh, there’s a letter." Gong Ruini noticed it at this time.

"And a pink envelope." Wow, Gong Ruini exclaimed.

Could it be a love letter for her? Her mind started to fill with anticipation.

After venting to Gong Jiaxin back then, she knew she’d definitely tell Zhao Xuran about it, and then there’d be surprises within her planned scope.

But after waiting and waiting, she didn’t get the surprise she’d expected, leaving her disappointed.

Gong Ruini had criticized Zhao Xuran bitterly in her heart, it was truly excessive, she’d made it clear and he still wasn’t willing to fulfill her wish.

"So, here it is." Well, regardless of whether this surprise was expected or not, at least she received a love letter, right?

To read the love letter or to freshen up and eat, Gong Ruini contemplated, touching her protesting stomach.

Okay, for the first time receiving a love letter, there’s no passing up the chance.

More importantly, this was a love letter from Zhao Xuran, the President! Just imagining it was thrilling.

Definitely a keepsake, especially as lately his sweet talk was almost overwhelming.

"Really looking forward to it."

"As a mom, suddenly receiving such a pink love letter, my little heart, oh" Gong Ruini held her heart, truly she could say she was filled with various expectations.

Gong Ruini slowly opened the letter, closed her eyes for a moment before looking, and was stunned when she opened them.

"Oh my God."

"No way."
