Chapter 445: The Broke Little Fairy
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
She perfectly presented the features of the dress and in turn, this dress perfectly complimented her and enhanced her beauty.
But why did it look strange when Sister Wanyi was in this dress?
He Wanyi looked at her up and down and nodded. “As I expected, this dress belongs to you. Rourou, it seems that you’re the best model for this dress.”
Tang Xi shook her head. “No, I don’t think I’m good enough to walk the runway in Paris Fashion Week!”
If she was still the heiress to the Empire Group, she might accept this job, but now she was Xiao Rou who was an ugly duckling just returning to her family several months ago. How could she suddenly become a super star?!
Although He Wanyi was very unhappy that she lost the bet, she had to admit that Tang Xi was the best model for this dress. Her eyes lit up when she saw Tang Xi in this dress as she was just stunningly beautiful in it.
She had a boyish figure, which happened to be suitable for this dress. Due to the flamboyant and fiddly design of this dress, it would only fit slim girls. Unlike Tang Xi, she had a full, voluptuous figure, so she looked a little fat in this dress. Just as Chu Ling said, this dress was specially designed for Tang Xi.
Tang Xi looked at herself in the mirror and said with a smile, “This dress is really beautiful.”
“Yeah, but only when you wear it.” He Wanyi helped her fix her hair and said with a smile, “I heard your cell phone ringing. Did you forget to tell Qiao Liang when you left? He must be worried when he doesn’t see you.”

“Oh!” Tang Xi hurriedly rushed out and picked up her cell phone. The call was from Qiao Liang and she hastened to call him back, telling him that she was with He Wanyi and she would be back soon. Then she hung up and went to change.
“Oh, Qiao Liang really sticks to you. We used to wonder how he would become when he was in love and we worried that he might drive his girlfriend mad, but none of us would expect that he would stick to his girlfriend like glue.” He Wanyi who was sitting on the sofa played with her cell phone and jested.
Tang Xi laughed and continued to change. “Sometimes I will be annoyed by him. How can he be so clingy?”
Hearing her sweet tone, He Wanyi glanced at her with a smile, “Oh, you’re making me jealous! Now change your clothes and go away. I hate you!”
Tang Xi chuckled and said, “Haha, by the way, I have to ask Chu Ling to find a model for this dress. The show will be held tomorrow. I’m worried whether we can find a model suitable for this dress.”
He Wanyi raised her eyebrows and looked at her. “You don’t want to be the model?”
Tang Xi shrugged. “I don’t think I’m suitable.”
Besides, Tang Xi had to show up in tomorrow’s show. She couldn’t play as two persons at the same time.
He Wanyi frowned but didn’t say anything. She took out her cell phone and sent someone a message.
Soon that person answered her message. She took a look at it, curled her lips and snorted. “Why is he always so annoying?” Then she sent Chu Ling another message.
Tang Xi changed, put the dress into the suitcase and said goodbye to her. “Sister Wanyi, I’m going back.”

He Wanyi said without looking at her. “Okay, let’s have breakfast together later. I’ll call you later as well.”
“Okay.” Tang Xi left with the suitcase.
After Tang Xi left, He Wanyi read the messages Chu Ling sent to her and snorted. “Don’t be smug. Xiao Rou said she didn’t want to be the model. You still have to find a model for the dress.”
When Tang Xi went back to her room, Qiao Liang had freshened himself up, but he still had dark circles under his eyes because he went to sleep really late last night. Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang with worry and the latter rubbed at her hair and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m fine. The dark circles will disappear tomorrow.”
Tang Xi curled her lips. “I’m going to call Chu Ling. Go take a sleep.”
“I’m not sleepy now.” Qiao Liang put his arms around her waist and sat down on the sofa. Then he asked with a frown, “What’s up?”
Tang Xi shrugged and called Chu Ling. “Nothing, it’s just that our most important dress in this fashion show isn’t suitable for Sister Wanyi. We may need to find a new model.”
Tang Xi didn’t tell him that she was suitable for that dress, because if she did, she bet that Qiao Liang would make her the model. Why? Because she had to become a popular star! But she didn’t want to become famous like this, because stars shooting to fame usually ended up with tragedies… especially those making a hit via runway. This was not good for her future career.
Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and didn’t say anything. Tang Xi was about to speak, when Chu Ling answered the call. “What’s up? Has He Wanyi tried that dress on?”
Tang Xi was surprised that Chu Ling was so smart as to guess it! She said, “Yes, but just as you expected, this dress is not suitable for Sister Wanyi. We may need to find a model for it.”
“Xiao Rou, let me remind you that we have to make the one who is most suitable for this dress the model, because this dress represents The Queen, and the one who wears this dress is meant to be our endorser. If I invite a famous supermodel to wear it, we’ll have to hire her as our endorser, and then the cost will be very high. Now, are you still sure you want me to find a model for this dress?” Chu Ling said seriously.
Tang Xi pursed her lips and was about to speak, when Chu Ling added, “This is our company’s first fashion show, so I tried my best. I invited the hottest super models in the world, which costs us a lot of money, and we still have to pay for the rent and building expenses of the show field, and so on. Now we’ve spent over ten million Yuan, which means that we owe banks over ten million Yuan. Are you sure you want to spend moee tens of millions yuan to hire a supermodel to be our endorser?”
“Ah?” Tang Xi was stunned. Chu Ling didn’t tell her about the expense and she was too busy to think about the expenses. So they had spent so much money?!
“I’ve given the invoices and bills to Qiao Liang. Hasn’t he given them to you?” Chu Ling asked.
Tang Xi took a look at Qiao Liang who gave her a questioning look. Tang Xi pursed her lips and said, “Well, maybe I can try this dress on. If it’s okay, I’ll be the model.”
