s gaze fixed on her, "You speak first."Luo Ningxi deliberately avoided his gaze, stirring the porridge with her spoon erratically. "Thank you for sending me back last night. I had too much to drink an...Luo Ningxi came to the exhibition for inspiration, to deal with that annoying President Sheng back at work. She didn't expect to compare herself to Mu Xiyin.
The key is that Mu Xiyin is now standing beside Li Boche, compared to her, it seems like I still care about Li Boche more!
Li Boche's eyes seemed to pierce through Luo Ningxi's hesitation. His thin lips curled into a mocking smirk, as if provoking her. "What is it, Miss Luo Are you afraid to compare yourself to my companion"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around began to buzz with discussion.
"Isn't Luo Jia'er the daughter of jewelry design master Shen Wanru How could she not be able to design"
"It's either because she's incompetent, or how else could the Luo family's status in the jewelry world have fallen to this"
Hearing the suspicion in the people around him, Yu Chengnan frowned, "Xi Xi, don't mind these people, follow your heart, I support you."
"Alright, let's have a competition then," Luo Ningxi glanced at Mu Xi Yin, her cold eyes swept over the crowd. "But since it's a competition, there needs to be a prize. What do you think, Miss Mu"
"No problem. But I'm not familiar with Beijing, and this exhibition was brought by Si Shao. Si Shao, you're the one who handles introductions, right" Mu Xiyin had won many awards internationally and didn't take a newcomer like Luo Ningxi seriously at all.
Li Bochen's brows furrowed, his gaze sweeping over Luo Ningxi and Yu Chennan.
Luning Xi frowned and immediately protested, “This is a bet between me and Miss Mu. It's not appropriate to involve outsiders, is it”
An outsider! They haven't even divorced yet, and he's already an outsider
Li Bochen's deep eyes swept with a layer of anger, his voice becoming even colder, "Miss Mu is my honored guest, and we came together. Compared to me, Mr. Yu is probably more like an outsider."
“...”
Luo Ningxi glared at him, her eyes filled with hatred. Li Bochen finally let out a breath he had been holding in, a hint of satisfaction in his cold gaze. "Just now, Miss Luo was so confident, how come you're afraid now"
Lu Ningxi seemed to have understood, he was definitely on purpose!
"Fine." She glanced at the artwork, a smirk playing on her lips as she spoke, "You win. I'll grant you one condition, but if I win, Fourth Young Master has to buy this piece and keep it in his room to admire every day. He also has to take it with him to important events."
"No problem, just a piece of jewelry. Consider it charity." Li Boche said generously, "Next, I'm quite looking forward to Miss Luo's performance!"
The competition has officially begun. The designers have prepared paper and pens for Luo Ningxi and Mu Xiyin, "Both of you can start now, with one hour limit, please each showcase your skills. The winner will receive an additional gift from me."
It doesn't really matter about the gifts, but... don't lose your cool!
Lu Ningxi took a deep breath, focusing all her attention on the design draft in her hand. She had to give Mu Xiyin a taste of her own medicine and let Li Boche know that not everyone could walk all over her!
Muxi Yin's eyes swept over Luo Ningxi from the corner of her eye before returning her attention to the design draft.
She is confident and will not lose to Luo Ningxi.
Li Bocen looked at Luo Ningxi's eager posture, and his heart also began to look forward to it. In fact, he was very impressed with the design drawings she sent over, but if he passed them too easily, he wouldn't have an excuse to find her.
Time started, and both of them plunged into the intense design work. The atmosphere was thick with tension, a silence broken only by the sound of their focused efforts.
Everyone stared nervously at the gambling match, and some even whispered to each other in private.
"Who do you think will win"
"I feel Ms. Luo will win, isn't she the daughter of a famous designer"
"But I felt that Miss Mu seemed to be hiding something too..."
Yu Chengnan didn't know when he arrived beside Li Bochen, "Fourth Young Master, who do you think will win between the two of them"
Li Bochen's eyes flashed with coldness, "Who wins has nothing to do with you, why are you trying to probe my stance"
"Looking at Sishao like this, you'd think he was… eating my and Ningxi's vinegar" Yuchengnan Ming knew that Li Boche's mood was explosive, and he spoke meaningfully, "But I see you getting along very well with Miss Mu, oh... I forgot, some people are despicable. What they can't get is always the best."
Li Bohen sneered, a cold smile curling his lips. “So you’re like a lapdog, clinging to her side, hoping she’ll be with you”
Yu Chengnan, “...”
I originally wanted to provoke Li Bochen, but he turned the tables and mocked me for not having won Luo Ningxi!
Yu Chengnan gritted his teeth, "Sooner or later, Ning Xi will agree to my pursuit. When the time comes, I will definitely remember to send an invitation to Shao Si!"
"Well, is it night already How could someone enjoy daydreaming" He wasn't even dead yet, and he wanted to marry Luo Ningxi As if he didn't exist
The discussions of the two people and other passersby did not affect Lu Ningxi and Mu Xiyin. An hour later, as the time limit for the competition gradually approached its end, Mu Xiyin had already finished her manuscript.
She glanced at Luo Ningxi, who was still engrossed in her creation. She smiled and handed the design draft to the designer, "My work is finished."
The designer displayed Mu Xi Yin's manuscript, as she had said, her design sought simplicity, adding some clever designs to the original work. After her modifications, this necklace could be disassembled and could also be worn as a standalone ring or brooch.
Immediately, the whole audience burst into applause!treat it now, the wound will become infected later and you'll end up crippled.""...Is he threatening himself"Such a small injury, and you become crippled"It's my own business whether or not I get an a...
