Yin Tangyi put the necklace into his pocket with a sour look on his face. Then, he turned around and left in disappointment…
Why did he want to bid the necklace for Li Shengxia the second he landed his eyes on it? Probably because he thought she was the devil in his life. The black necklace was named Devil. He wished he could also hold her captive the way a devil would…
However, she chose the ring from another person instead.
Right this moment, there was only Mo Nianchen and Li Shengxia left in the hall. The man was delighted to see the red ring on her finger. To be precise, he did not know the reason that filled him with joy but he supposed she had just made a public declaration to the world that she belonged to him only.
There was no chance she could escape from his grasp.
The ring really suited her.
On the other hand, she was also overjoyed because of the unexpected wave of inspiration. She grinned sweetly from ear to ear.
The man seemed to behave rather differently than normal today. Not only did he take her advice to stop fighting with Yin Tangyi, he also bought her a ring.
Although this was not her initial intention, she could not help but feel delighted.
The corners of his lips curled upward subconsciously upon seeing her smile. Perhaps he had done the right move this time? Finally, she was not treating him with disdain or arguing back at him.
On that same night, she kept herself occupied by constantly amending the sketch design. The final design was finally born several days later. Even she was amazed by the end result.
The dress appeared equally astonishing on a mannequin. This was her proudest creation by far!
The only thing left to do was search for the right model.
She thoroughly considered every model she thought would be a great fit for this dress, not forgetting to include celebrities just to be safe, but no one really felt like the perfect candidate. Right this instant, an advertisement playing on the television caught her attention.
The stunning woman on the television exquisitely captured the essence of the red dress!
She was the one!
Li Shengxia was almost leaping up in joy. However, the smile on her face froze in the next second when she found out the woman turned out to be none other than Gina!
Undeniably, Gina was way more attractive now than before. Besides, the gorgeously indecent temperament and arrogance she exuded would undoubtedly showcase the quintessence of Ten Miles of Red!
Why did it have to be Gina?
She shook her head disappointedly upon thinking of the grudges between them and instantly dismissed the idea. She would be looking for trouble if she wanted Gina to be her model.
She considered numerous other candidates but the image of Gina wearing Ten Miles in Red kept popping up in her mind.
Although she was truly reluctant to admit, Gina was indeed the best person that could perfectly capture the charm of that dress!
She took this competition with Jian Dan seriously. After all, her opponent, the top grade designer in the industry, could easily steal all her limelight. Her chance at winning lied in the originality of her inspiration. She needed to win in everything, down to the minute details, thus choosing the right model was significant.
After serious consideration, she made up her mind to try and sincerely convince Gina to be her model for the upcoming showcase. However, that would not be a simple task.
She decided to request Gina’s assistance despite knowing the chances of rejection was high. Ten Miles in Red mattered more in comparison, although she could not brush off the fact that Gina had once been with Mo Nianchen.

Gina was in the middle of filming an advertisement for a shower gel brand. The concept of it was for her to portray a filthy woman crawling out of a puddle of mud before dashing into the shower. Then, her sexy shoulders would be revealed to show how all the dirt had been washed off, eventually attracting a butterfly to land on her shoulder.
She had only one line in the entire advert: ‘The power of rebirth, the fragrance of first loves.’ XX shower gel gives you baby-like soft skin and rekindles the warmth of love in you.
The main idea of the advert was to portray the shower gel’s cleansing and whitening ability as well as its natural fragrance.
The director was dissatisfied after three takes. Gina was currently in the resting room touching up on her makeup.
Her agent delivered a thick towel to keep her warm. Meanwhile, Li Shengxia showed up at the studio.
The studio crew said earnestly in an apologetic voice. “Miss Gina, a woman named Li Shengxia is waiting outside of the studio, claiming that she must see you…
“Li Shengxia? I’m not meeting her!” Gina was already frustrated about the filming process, to begin with. A surge of anger surged through her suddenly at the mentioning of that woman’s name.
“She says she’ll keep waiting until you agree to meet her.”
“Let’s see how long she can wait!”
Mealtime.
Three hours had passed…
Li Shengxia had been waiting for Gina for a long time. She knew the woman would not agree to meet her thus she tried to acquire her phone number during this time.
Soon, she dialed the number into her phone…
On the other side of the studio.
Gina’s agent said upon noticing the phone call. “Miss Gina, you have a call from Miss Li.”
“Who’s that?”
“Li Shengxia who’s been waiting for you for the past three hours.”
“She’s still here?”
“Yes.”
“Hand me the phone.” She was curious to hear what that woman wanted from her.
Li Shengxia’s voice entered the speaker the second she accepted the call. “Hello, Gina? How’re you doing? Li Shengxia speaking. When will you have the time to meet me?”
“Why should I meet you?” Gina questioned coldly.
The other woman’s voice remained calm and gentle. “I’d like for you to be my model.”
“Model? For the Emperor Heritage? When did you start taking care of these things?”
“No, it’s a favor for my personal thing.”
“Ha, you want me to be your model? Is there something wrong with my hearing?” she mocked.
The other person explained patiently, “Well, I’m taking part in a fashion exhibition in about twenty days which requires me to showcase my own creation. I figure you’re the best person who can portray the essence of the design, so I’d like for you to be my model.”
Gina remembered Li Shengxia used to like designing clothes in the past but she had never shown her creations to anyone else. This must mean a great deal to her if she was willing to come seek for her assistance?
However, this did not mean Gina should forget the grudges between them, either.
She replied indifferently, “Why me?”
