Chapter 125: Rely on Me More

Page 1/3

With this thought, Mengxia suddenly came to a realization. Since Ye Chen cared for her so selflessly without asking for reasons, what reason did she have to hesitate? At this moment, Mengxia only wanted to throw caution to the wind and leap into Ye Chen’s arms.

Thinking this, she did just that.

Ye Chen was caught off guard by Mengxia’s sudden embrace and lost his balance, falling straight to the ground. Seeing Ye Chen sitting there with a helpless expression as he looked at her, Mengxia laughed softly and reached out to help him up.

Once Ye Chen stood, he immediately pulled Mengxia close into his embrace and murmured, “Xia Xia, can you rely on me a little more from now on?”

Mengxia patted his back soothingly. “I understand. I will try my best.”

By nature, Mengxia was carefree and independent, never one to cling to others, but she had forgotten that while others depended on her, she could also lean on them in return.

Xu Xinying’s studio had fallen into disrepute. Few jewelry companies were willing to collaborate with them now, and those that did only out of respect for the Xu Group.

Originally, Xu Xinying could have salvaged the studio’s reputation, but her prolonged cold shoulder caused clients to drift away and the public’s trust to wane.

The studio was on the brink of collapse, and Xu Xinying was desperately seeking help everywhere.

Lu Qingli had initially helped Xu Xinying out of gratitude and feelings for her, but by now, Xu Xinying no longer influenced his emotions. No matter how many times she reached out, he turned a blind eye.

The studio’s reputation had plummeted so drastically that continuing on this path would not only fail to restore its standing but also brand Xu Xinying as a plagiarist.

After several financial crises, Xu Xinying finally decided to close the studio, dismiss the designers, and seek a new path for herself.

Recently, Gu Zehuai had been so busy that Wen Jiu rarely saw him.

Though curious about Gu Zehuai’s secretive activities, Wen Jiu trusted him completely.

In his scarce free time after work, Gu Zehuai personally took charge of arranging the venue and decorations for Wen Jiu’s birthday party.

Wen Jiu’s birthday was on May 20th, and it was only mid-April, yet Gu Zehuai was already making preparations.

Of course, it wasn’t just the birthday celebration he was planning.

When Gu Zehuai finally found some free time, the two of them would have ample opportunity to spend together.

Now working at Jingyan Design Company, Wen Jiu appreciated the company but was not content with maintaining the status quo; she aspired to step out of her comfort zone and establish her own gown design studio.

This was her original dream, one she had never abandoned.

When she joined the company, Wen Jiu signed a two-year contract.

Just enough time to prepare for her own studio.

As soon as this idea took shape, Wen Jiu mentioned it to Gu Zehuai.

It was her lifelong dream and plan; she had no intention of keeping it from him.

Gu Zehuai naturally supported her. “Jiu Jiu, if there’s any way I can help, just tell me. I won’t hold back.”

Wen Jiu understood his heart. Though she might not have Gu Zehuai’s financial resources, she had more than enough to open her own studio.

The annual dividends from the Wen family’s shares were substantial, and Wen Jiu had saved those, along with earnings from freelance orders during college, amounting to a considerable sum.

Gu Zehuai looked at Wen Jiu with pride.

He knew his Jiu Jiu had the talent and determination to make her dreams come true.

Wen Jiu, too, was confident in herself.
