Chapter 442: Bet
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Yes, he had watched the TV commercial of Magic Butterfly perfume that Xiao Rou had started in. He appreciated the magical image of Xiao Rou in that TV commercial, so he agreed to design a dress together with Xiao Rou. This dress was actually designed for her based on her image in that TV commercial. He was sure there would be some chemistry when Xiao Rou put on that dress.
Chu Ling gazed at the glass of wine on the table, picked it up and gently swirled it. He was sure that once she showed up in that dress, not only The Queen but Xiao Rou would also make a hit in Paris. She would become a top-class model and The Queen would have a long-term free endorser.
As a businessman, he always wanted to maximize the benefits. He Wanyi would do, but it would be more cost effective to have Xiao Rou as the endorser.
Remembering how he led a start-up to be the most famous luxury company in the world, Chu Ling gave a complacent smile. He gulped down the wine in the glass, stood up and left with his coat.
However, when he walked to the gate of the cafe, someone stood in his way. Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and looked at He Wanyi, asking with a smile, “What can I do for you, Miss He?”
Chu Ling was handsome, the bad boy-type handsome. Like a vortex, his smile was mesmerizing. Even He Wanyi felt hard to breathe when he gazed at her with a smile. It had been quite a while before she came to herself…
He Wanyi looked at Chu Ling, pursed her lips and asked, “Why did Mr. Chu think I can’t put on that dress?”

“No, you can surely put it on. It’s just that that dress doesn’t fit you.” Chu Ling smiled. “Trust me, Miss He. I’m always right about this kind of things. Are you sure you are going to walk the runway with supermodels in a dress that doesn’t suit you?”
He Wanyi clenched her hands hard. What she hated most was being questioned about her ability! Especially… about her figure and confidence! And that was exactly what Chu Ling was doing!
He Wanyi took a deep breath and tried to suppress her inner anger. Then she narrowed her eyes, stared at Chu Ling and asked angrily, “Fine, let’s make a bet. If you lose the bet, you’ll have to promise me one thing. What do you say?”
Chu Ling turned up the corners of his mouth and his eyes had a dark gleam. “What if Miss He loses the bet?”
He Wanyi frowned. That was impossible!
Looking at He Wanyi, Chu Ling knew what she was thinking. He nodded and smiled. “Okay, I’ll promise you one thing if you win the bet, but if you lose…” Chu Ling looked He Wanyi up and down and smiled. “Then you’ll have to date me for one day.”
He Wanyi froze and looked at Chu Ling in surprise. Chu Ling smiled. “I think you’ll change your opinions on me after you go on a date with me. Perhaps, you’ll even fall in love with me. Do you dare to date me?”
Damn it! This man was goading her! But why didn’t she dare? She was not a little girl who would fall in love with a man after merely staying with him for a day! She had already had a man in her heart who had stolen it many years ago. How could she fall for another man?

In fact, she wished she could. Then she wouldn’t live in pain anymore.
Seeing He Wanyi was pondering, Chu Ling turned up the corners of his mouth. “It seems that Miss He is really afraid that you may fall for me?”
He Wanyi scowled and stared at Chu Ling. “Fine, if you lose the bet, you’ll have to jump into the Seine, swim across the river and shout ‘Chu Ling is stupid!’ And if I lose the bet, I’ll date you for a day!”
Chu Ling almost burst into laughter when he heard He Wanyi’s words. He laughed, looked at He Wanyi who was staring at him angrily, and nodded, saying with a smile, “Although your requirement is really… naive, I agree to it, since you’ve accepted my requirement. If you look beautiful in that dress, you’ll walk the runway in it and I’ll jump into the Seine and curse myself.”
Then he laughed out loud. He Wanyi looked at him with a straight face and it had been quite a while before she snorted. “Then you should patiently wait for your swimming and curses!” Then she turned to leave.
Chu Ling leaned against the door frame and watched He Wanyi leave in exasperation. Then he shook his head with a smile. “I haven’t seen such a cute girl in a long time. It seems that I won’t be bored when I date her.”
Why did Chu Ling want to date He Wanyi?
Well, seeing Qiao Liang and Tang Xi playing lovey dovey in front of his eyes every day, he wanted to be in love too!
However, he certainly couldn’t date a random woman. He had to find a quality girl. He Wanyi was exactly that quality woman. Besides…
He could see that He Wanyi had been hurt by some man. And he happened to be good at healing women!
Chu Ling straightened up and went to pay the bill when He Wanyi disappeared. However, the waiter told him that the lady had paid the bill. Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and smiled. “What an interesting girl.”
She tried to hurt his pride since he had hurt hers.
When Chu Ling walked out of the door, He Wanyi was still waiting for her car. He walked up to her with a smile and said, “How did you know I forgot my wallet today?”
He Wanyi froze and then took a look at Chu Ling who said with a smile, “Then I’ll wait for the good news. Oh, yes, my phone number is…” Chu Ling had walked away and then came back to hand his name card to He Wanyi. “I’m waiting for your call… Well, if you think it embarrassing, you can also text me.”
Then he waved at He Wanyi, got into his car and drove away.
He Wanyi stared at the name card in her hand, took a deep breath and tried hard to stop herself from crumpling it up. “He Wanyi, endure him for a little while. Tomorrow you’ll be able to call him and humiliate him hard! Now don’t be angry. It’s bad for your skin! Don’t be angry!”
