Until now, Mo Yuan still couldn't understand why Jiujiu wasn't satisfied and wanted to leave his side even though he had given her everything a woman could have. She even went as far as to work with Cheng Qinyuan just to leave him.
Mo Yuan's eyes darkened when he thought about the obstacles Cheng Qinyuan had set for him.
He had always known that without Jiujiu's help, Cheng Qinyuan wouldn't have been able to do what he did.
It could be said that the person who was trying to trip him up was actually Jiujiu, and Cheng Qinyuan was just the executor.
When Jiujiu heard Mo Yuan ask her why she wanted to leave, she immediately smiled.
Jiujiu took a sip of champagne and looked into Mo Yuan's deep eyes. "I thought you knew why I wanted to leave."
Mo Yuan furrowed his brows. "Know what?"
"You know why I wanted to leave." Jiujiu's lips twitched as she laughed self-deprecatingly. "But now, it seems that you didn't know."
"When you can treat me as an independent person and not as her substitute, I will come back."
Mo Yuan didn't really understand what Jiujiu wanted to say at the beginning, but when she said the word 'substitute', Mo Yuan immediately understood.
Mo Yuan looked at Jiujiu with a complicated expression and asked, "When did you find out?"
He never imagined that Jiujiu would know that he had treated her as a substitute.
Jiujiu nodded. "I already knew when you brought me back."
Mo Yuan had guessed when Jiujiu had found out, but he didn't expect it to be so early. No wonder she questioned him at the time.
Even an adult might not have such sharp observation skills.
Come to think of it, she must have been planning to leave a long time ago.
Mo Yuan lowered his eyes to cover his eyes so that his emotions would not be revealed in front of Jiujiu. "What if I say that you are her?"
"I think we should be different." Jiujiu smiled gently as her eyelashes fluttered like a butterfly's wings. "If I remember correctly, the person in your portrait is wearing an ancient costume. Looking at the age of the portrait, it seems to be a few hundred years old. I know you might not think it's a big deal, so I'll say something simpler and more straightforward.
She would never be like me. I would argue with a group of men just for a small chance. Even if I didn't want to attend these hypocritical banquets, I would still choose to wear a short skirt to show my cleavage for the sake of my career. I would stand at the door and welcome guests with a smile, chatting and laughing with people I wasn't interested in. For example, right now.
Am I right? "
Jiujiu's words not only showed the difference between her and the person in the portrait, but also clearly told Mo Yuan that she wasn't talking to him because of old feelings, but because of her job.
Jiujiu's straightforward words instantly reminded Mo Yuan of what Jiujiu had said to him when he held a party for Jiujiu.
After so many years, Jiujiu's cheeks had grown and she had thick makeup on. It was really hard to tell her age.
But at this moment, when she said those sharp and sarcastic words, she slowly melted away from the little girl from back then. She really hadn't changed at all.
Only then did Mo Yuan realize that Jiujiu hadn't changed at all. The reason why she was so obedient before was because she hadn't grown up, so she was forced to hide her sharp thorns.
Now that she had the ability to be independent, she revealed her sharp claws and raised her sharp thorns to stab anyone who wanted to get close to her. "After so many years, you still haven't changed at all."
Jiujiu chuckled. "If we're talking about not changing, it should be you who hasn't changed at all. I remember that when you took me away from the mountains, you looked like this. Now, I'm already 23 years old. After 15 years, you still look the same. If it weren't for the fact that I know you don't take care of your skin, I would want to know what skincare products you use to maintain your youthful appearance. Why is it that after 15 years, your appearance hasn't changed at all?
I'm so envious. "The reason why her appearance hadn't changed at all was a secret that Mo Yuan could never tell anyone.
Mo Yuan's expression froze, and his tone subconsciously softened. "After this, can you stay?"
In response to Mo Yuan's request to stay, Jiujiu only chuckled and said, "Wait until you figure out that I'm two separate entities and that our souls are completely different. Then you can ask me to stay."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she turned around and walked toward the new guests.
Jiujiu smiled and chatted with the guests skillfully. No matter who it was, when they saw Jiujiu, they couldn't help but smile warmly. Even the most jealous women would ask Jiujiu about the next season's new products and even ask about Jiujiu's clothing choices.
To put it bluntly, most of the luxury goods were bought for female users. These people who were willing to ask Jiujiu were Jiujiu's potential customers. Jiujiu naturally told them everything she knew.
Jiujiu kept promoting D Brand products, and the female users got what they wanted from Jiujiu. Everyone was very satisfied.
After Jiujiu finished exchanging pleasantries with everyone, she walked to the edge of the room and leaned against the wall slightly so that her feet, which were ten centimeters high, could be more comfortable.
Jiujiu drank the champagne in her hand and looked at the lively crowd in the distance. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"I was wondering why I couldn't find you after looking around. It turns out that you were drinking here."
The voice came without seeing him.
Jiujiu turned her head and saw Cheng Qinyuan.
Unlike Mo Yuan, who was an old demon who had a skill to retain his youthful appearance, Cheng Qinyuan had really aged a lot.
Although he still had a trace of a ruffian aura, his face had become a lot older. Although his hair was still black, fine and dense wrinkles had crept up the corners of his eyes. When the corners of his mouth curled up, there would be deep smile lines.
After Cheng Qinyuan sent Jiujiu to A Country, he also went to see Jiujiu several times. Although the two didn't have deep communication, they could be regarded as old acquaintances.
Moreover, Jiujiu was able to work in D Brand because of Cheng Qinyuan's secret help. Jiujiu was grateful to Cheng Qinyuan.
Jiujiu stood up straight and looked at Cheng Qinyuan with a sincere smile. "I'm a little tired after looking around. I was just resting for a while and I was caught by you."
"Then I came at the wrong time." Cheng Qinyuan pursed his lips and smiled. He looked at Jiujiu and said, "Congratulations on becoming the chief designer of D Brand."
