“Ye You, you really are here.” A gorgeous woman with big wavy curly hair walked over to Ye You and said, “I was losing my mind while filming, I just slept for three to four hours in the past two days, and I forgot that it was your main store opened today, and I was almost going to go to your company to find you, but fortunately my agent reminded me.”

Seeing the glamorous woman approaching, before Ye You said anything, Lu Ning widened his eyes and said, “Ke Lili? What are you doing here?”

“Lu Ning?” Ke Lili looked at Lu Ning in surprise and said, “You are here too?”

“I asked what are you doing here?” Lu Ning asked while controlling his voice and anger.

“Of course I came to find Ye You to help me design the dress.
Next month, I will go abroad to attend the Manaway1 Raw 麦纳威(Mài nà wēi); Manaway sometime google translated it as manawi.
I’m not sure which one is the right one, I just choose the first one that pop out (Manaway) *sweat* Film Festival, and I am going to walk down the red carpet in the dress Ye You designed for me, and defeated all those foreign actresses.” Ke Lili said with a matter of course attitude.

“The dress you’re going to wear at the Manaway Film Festival’s red carpet, I’ve been designing it for you since half a year ago.
Didn’t someone send it to you last month?” Lu Ning said through gritted teeth.

“Oh, you means that set, I don’t think that set is suitable to wear on the red carpet of the Marvell2The raw context is 麦威电影节奏红毯(Mài wēi diànyǐng jiézòu hóng tǎn); lit.
translated to Mai Wei movie rhythm red carpet.
Why rhythm though?!?! (‘｀;)？I guess the 节奏(Jiézòu); rhythm in that sentence might be a typo for 节走(Jié zǒu) which is has separated meaning.
The 节 is festival while the 走 is for 走红毯(Zǒuhóng tǎn); walk the red carpet.  The 麦威(Mài wēi) are trasnlate to maiway, mai wai, makway, marvell, mkw(?).
In the previous paragraph, it’s 麦纳威电影节走红毯(Mài nà wēi diànyǐng jié zǒuhóng tǎn); Red Carpet at Manaway Film Festival, and this makes more sense than the former.
I will keep it as it is for now, since I’m not sure Author means marvell or manaway （─.─||） movie festival.
After all, the international superstars will go there.
If the dress I want is not conspicuous enough, it will be difficult to have a page on the international news.
So, I asked Ye You to help me design a new set, you should be able to understand? But don’t worry, I won’t just keep your dress, and I will wear it when there is a banquet next time.” Ke Lili said with a smile.

Lu Ning’s hands were already shaking, and he looked at Ke Lili, so angry that he couldn’t speak.
He originally thought that when Ke Lili wore the dress he designed to walked on the red carpet of the Manaway Film Festival, he would be able to restored a little reputation and create some topics, but he did not expected Ke Lili to actually slapped him in the face.

Ke Lili’s backstage supporter was tough enough, so she wasn’t afraid to offend the Lu family, and it was already considered giving him face when she explained a few words to Lu Ning.

“I saw the photos that your assistant sent me.
I like it very much while just looking at the photos.
I really want to see them with my own eyes, so as soon as the shooting was over, I came over immediately.” Ke Lili was very excited.
He said to Ye You, “Can you take me to see it now?”

“I’ll ask the assistant to take you to see it.
The ceremony will start in a while, and I have to go downstairs to prepare.” Ye You said with a smile.

“Okay, then you can go do your own thing, I’ll just go and see it myself.” Ke Lili was about to turned around and leave with Ye You’s assistant, when she suddenly saw the dress on the model next to her, she ran over immediately, and exclaimed excitedly: “This set is too good-looking! I also want this set.
I will wear this set for the red carpet of the next domestic awards ceremony.”

“Director.” The staff quickly walked up to Ye You and said, “The president and madam asked me to inform you that the time for the start of the ceremony is almost here, they ask you to go down and prepare.”

“Okay, I see.” After nodding, Ye You explained a few words to the shop assistant and asked the shop assistant to invite all the guests today to the lobby on the first floor, and then quickly went downstairs to prepare.

When all the guests gathered in the lobby on the first floor, Ye Long and his wife, Ye You, and the company’s management personnel came to the stage to cut the ribbon.
Then applause and lipao3According to baidu, 礼炮( lǐpào) is a Chinese word that means a cannon that is fired when a grand celebration is held or a guest is welcome to salute.
I guess it’s like a firecrackers??? (‘◇’)? sounded.
Ribbons and golden papers were flying in the hall, creating a festive scene.
After Ye Long and his wife finished speaking on the stage, it finally Ye You’s turn to speak.

Ye Long and his wife looked at Ye You on the stage, looking radiant and invigorated.
After looking at each other with satisfaction, they couldn’t help showing a smile from their hearts.

‘Thank you all the guest for coming to the opening of the main store’, these kind words were naturally need to be said, and then there was a general plan for the future development of their company, etc.
Finally, Ye You said: “I am really happy that everyone can like the clothes I designed.
I also hope that everyone can come and leave happily in the future.
In order to avoid disputes in the future, all the malls and stores of our company, as well as franchisee stores, will implement the VIP card system.
There are silver cards, gold card, black card, and white jade card respectively, according to the level of the VIP card, you have the priority to choose your favorite dresses first, and we will regularly give away new jewelry accessories designed by our company.
Finally, thank you again for coming to the opening ceremony of our company’s main store, thank you.”

After Ye You finished speaking, the shop assistant began to distribute gifts to the guests who were present today, and many ladies were already eager to apply for VIP cards first.

After Ye You stepped off the stage, he took his assistant to Lu Ning and He Xu, motioned the assistant to hand over the two paper bags to He Xu, and said, “Your mother didn’t come over today, and our shop assistant can’t measure her, why don’t you bring these two sets of dresses back for her to try, if there is something that doesn’t fit, you can call the front desk of the main store, and a shop assistant will come to the door to pick it up and fix it.”

“Okay.” He Xu said after accepted the paper bag.

“I’m going to entertain other guests, please do as you pleases.” Ye You turned around and went upstairs.

He Xu stared at Ye You’s back for a while, until Ye You’s back disappeared, only then he turned his head to look at Lu Ning, but found that Lu Ning was already striding out, he immediately followed quickly.

Along the way, Lu Ning was expressionless and didn’t say a word.
He Xu knew that he must be unhappy, but seeing that his face was okay, he didn’t open his mouth to comfort him.
He kept thinking about Ye You’s looks when he was talking on stage just now.

After arriving home, Yu Fenglian looked at the two and asked, “You’re back? How was the opening ceremony of Ye family’s main store? Are there many people there?”

“There are quite a lot of people, it’s very lively.” He Xu said and handed the two paper bags in his hand to his mother and said, “This is a dress that Ye You designed himself.
He said it suits you very well, so I bought it.
”

After Yu Fenglian took the paper bag, she glanced at Lu Ning, opened the paper bag and took out the dress, and said in a disgusting tone: “What kind of beautiful dress can Ye You design? I won’t wear the dress he designed, it will only be shameful to wear it out, look at the design of this dress, the design…”

Yu Fenglian originally wanted to be picky on purpose to make Lu Ning feel more comfortable, but when she took out the dress, not only could she not pick out any bad points, but the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

Then she took out another set of dresses, and the more she looked, the more she liked it, too.
She couldn’t wait to try it on, but she was worried that Lu Ning would be unhappy, so she couldn’t say a word for a while.

After seeing these two dresses, He Lanqin also felt that she liked them very much.
Knowing that Yu Fenglian was not good at saying that she like it in front of Lu Ning, she said, “Sister-in-law, the design of this dress is not good at all, and it’s not particularly suits your figure, why don’t you give it to me, I think the fabric is not bad, I will have it dismantled and make a small skirt for Ke’er.”

Yu Fenglian almost blurted out, what doesn’t suit my figure? This is like it’s tailor-made for me.
Wouldn’t it be a waste if it was dismantled? Fortunately, she held back and didn’t said it out loud in front of Lu Ning, but smiled reluctantly and said, “How old is Ke’er? How can this kind of fabric be suitable for making a skirt for a child? I have fabric that is suitable for a child’s skirt.
I’ll give you in a moment.”

“Sister-in-law, these two sets of dresses are so ugly.
What are you keeping it for? Give it to me.
I’ll make some handkerchiefs as well.” Seeing that Yu Fenglian was reluctant, He Lanqin immediately started to grab it.

“Since you think it’s ugly, what are you make the handkerchief for? If you think you are short on handkerchief, I’ll buy 100 pieces of handkerchief for you.” Yu Fenglian tightly held onto the two sets of dresses, because she knew that once the dresses arrived at He Lanqin’s hand, she will never get them back.

“I’ll go upstairs and have a rest.” Lu Ning said as he got up.

“Oh, okay, go ahead.” Yu Fenglian said with a smile.

He Xu sat on the sofa, motionless in a daze.

After Lu Ning went upstairs, Yu Fenglian immediately grabbed the dress back, then quickly put it in the paper bag, got up and walked back to the room.

“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, wait for me!” He Lanqin immediately chased after her.

“What are you shouting at?!” Yu Fenglian lowered her voice and said, “I’m not deaf.”

“Sister-in-law, don’t you have two sets? You can share with me one.” He Lanqin whispered, “Why don’t I spend money to buy it from you?”

“You can just buy it yourself.
Now that the Ye family’s main store has opened, other stores will definitely open one after another.
If you don’t say, and I won’t say, will Lu Ning still know that you are buying in the Ye family’s store?” Yu Fenglian said as she walked quickly, after she entered the room, she immediately closed the door, and even He Lanqin was locked out.

“But I just like these two sets, sister-in-law, sister-in-law…” He Lanqin knocked on the door, knowing that Yu Fenglian would definitely not open the door for her, so she could only stomp her feet angrily, then turned and went downstairs.

An hour later, the helper saw that the indicator lights4Raw 提示灯(Tíshì dēng); warning light(from google translate). 提示(Tíshì) means to prompt; to present; to point out; to draw attention to sth; hint; brief; cue. If we add 声 to it, it become 提示声 which is means  ‘beep’ .
I guess this is like some notification lamp to let people know that they are in need or something?? Tbh, I never heard of this stuff before  Orz in He Xu and Lu Ning’s room were on, but there was no sound on the intercom, so they went upstairs in confusion.

Not long after the helper entered Lu Ning’s room, they immediately ran out and shouted, “Master, ma’am, it’s not good, Master Ning said that he has a stomachache, it seems that he is going to have an accident!5Just in case if you’re confused, raw context is 看他那样子是要出事了！It seem that my braincell have been burned too much lately, Gah!!ヽ(≧Д≦)ノ”

He Xu, who had been sitting in the living room in a daze, came to his senses and ran upstairs immediately, and He Lanqin quickly followed.

Seeing that Yu Fenglian was not in the living room, the helper immediately ran outside her room and knocked on the door: “Ma’am, Ma’am, it’s not good, something happened to Young Master Ning!”

When Yu Fenglian heard the knock on the door, she immediately ran to the door and opened it.
She was still wearing the dress that He Xu brought back.
She asked suspiciously, “What happened?”

“Master Ning said that he has a stomachache, and he doesn’t look very well.” The maid said hurriedly.

“Hurry up and call the hospital, I’ll be right there.” Yu Fenglian closed the door, then quickly took off her gown and put on her usual clothes.

“Lu Ning, what’s the matter with you, Lu Ning?” He Xu was a little frightened when he saw Lu Ning’s pale and sweaty face.

“My stomach, my stomach hurts,” Lu Ning said uncomfortably: “Take, take me to, the hospital, I must not let, the child have an accident.”

“Quickly call the hospital!” He Xu turned his head and roared.

“Called already, it should be on the way now,” said the helper.

“Lu Ning, don’t be afraid, nothing will happen, nothing will happen, don’t be afraid.” He Xu hugged Lu Ning and comforted.

Did you notice the title? I understand the other half, but what it is that smells good?? It seems doesn’t have any connection to this chapter??? (´･ω･`)?
