Chapter 544: Chapter 544 Being Polite with You (2)_1

So, even though the two old madams doted on Situ Xin immensely, they still had their principles, after all.

"Little aunt-in-law, I was wrong," Situ Xin said when she saw Lu Juan nearly going mad. She didn’t dare show a hint of negligence and quickly stood up, walked over to Lu Juan, took her hand, and became the picture of coquettish charm. "Little aunt-in-law, I know you’ve had a hard day. Come on, sit down, and I’ll give you a massage."

"Hmph, you little girl, don’t think you can get off the hook today with this trick. Today you really did it, you didn’t say anything and just turned around and left. You, you..." Lu Juan was so angry with Situ Xin that her words were incomplete as she pointed at her.

"Little aunt-in-law, please calm down. I know it was wrong for me to sneak away today. So, tell me, what are your terms? What will it take for you to calm down?" Situ Xin saw that Lu Juan was genuinely vexed today and also noticed the fatigue on her face.

Even as Situ Xin spoke to Lu Juan, her hands were busy massaging her.

"Aunt Lu, please calm down. You know that it’s Xiao Xin’s first time organizing a fashion show, and she’s not very familiar with all those things in the fashion world, so she didn’t realize that today’s event would lead to so much trouble. If she had known, she definitely wouldn’t have left you alone and taken off by herself," Xiao Muli left unsaid in his heart: "She would have definitely dragged you along with her."

Xiao Muli’s words defending Situ Xin made Old Madam Situ and the others nod insistently; they were still relieved that Situ Xin had slipped away quickly from the fashion show, escaping those media journalists and fashion insiders. Otherwise, with their fervent pursuit, who knew when Situ Xin would have been able to get away.

Lu Juan was initially fuming when she first walked in and saw Situ Xin lounging comfortably, but after Situ Xin coaxed her and massaged her, the anger in Lu Juan’s heart had mostly dissipated.

After all, with Situ Xin’s bewitchingly beautiful look coupled with her pitiful demeanor, who could bear to be angry with her?

But Lu Juan felt that if she easily forgave Situ Xin, all the suffering she endured today would have been in vain. She had to get some interest back from Situ Xin, so she forced herself to seem upset.

She was just waiting for Situ Xin to ask her to state her terms, and now, without paying any attention to what Xiao Muli had said, she latched onto Situ Xin’s last word, her eyes shining as she focused on Situ Xin, "Baby, that’s what you said, you told me to name my terms, so I won’t be polite."

Seeing the gleam in Lu Juan’s eyes, Situ Xin understood that she had fallen for her little aunt-in-law’s trick. However, considering how much her little aunt-in-law had supported her throughout the day, Situ Xin still nodded. "Yes, I said that. Whatever your conditions are, say them. As long as it’s within my abilities, I’ll definitely do it."

"Hehe, my request isn’t much, you can definitely do it," Lu Juan said cheerfully to Situ Xin.

"Speak," Situ Xin said, tilting her chin up a bit as a signal for Lu Juan to state her demands.

"My only request is, baby, could I get a few more sketches for each season’s design? Even just three or four more would do," Lu Juan said about the sketches as if she could already see the money flying towards her.

"I promise you."

Situ Xin had initially thought that once her own debut show at fashion week was over, everything else would come to an end too. But on the morning after the fashion show ended, when Situ Xin was sleeping sweetly, her door was banged on relentlessly, which irked her slight morning grumpiness.

Situ Xin didn’t want to get up to open the door, but with such a loud knocking, pretending not to hear was impossible. Resigned, she dragged herself out of bed with a dark expression and squinted eyes to open the door.

And if Baibai, who was sweetly asleep inside her space, knew about Situ Xin’s predicament, it undoubtedly would have been unable to contain its sneaky joy.

"Who is it, knocking so early in the morning? Don’t they want to live?" Situ Xin didn’t say the last sentence out loud. As soon as she pulled open the door, the overly excited Lu Juan did not even notice the expression on Situ Xin’s face.

She only busied herself with saying to Situ Xin, "Baby, don’t go anywhere today, just stay in the hotel."

"Why? Also, little aunt-in-law, you came running over in such a hurry so early in the morning to tell me just this?" Situ Xin, faced with her aunt-in-law who clearly wasn’t in her best state, was exasperated.

"It’s precisely because of this! If Shiyin hadn’t called me early in the morning to say that somehow our residence had been discovered by those reporters, and now there is a large group of them waiting downstairs at the hotel, do you think I’d have gotten out of bed and come rushing here?" Lu Juan only remembered that her precious niece had a temper when waking up as she looked at Situ Xin’s grouchy face and quickly explained.

"Little aunt-in-law, you’re saying our location has been exposed?" Situ Xin was really awake now.

Lu Juan nodded. "I secretly checked just now, and there indeed are a bunch of reporters waiting downstairs."

"But, little aunt-in-law, I’m just a little-known clothing designer at most. My fashion show yesterday was a success, giving me a bit of fame, but it’s not like the reporters would specifically wait to interview me. I mean, little aunt-in-law, you could be mistaken; it might be other celebrities who happen to be staying at this hotel, and those reporters are here for them," Situ Xin didn’t believe she had anything that warranted reporters’ attention.

"Xiao Xin, you’re really wrong there. Look at all the major newspapers and magazines today, their front page headlines are all about you," Xiao Muli arrived just in time to hear Situ Xin’s words and handed her the newspapers and magazines.

Xiao Muli had long ago instructed his subordinates to keep a close watch on Situ Xin’s every move. Of course, this didn’t mean surveillance. He cared about Situ Xin and wanted to be the first to know about anything happening around her, so he could be the first to show up and help solve any issues.
