“Your last name is also Quan?” Bai Xin accepted the name card with both hands.

Quan Meng nodded and asked with a smile, “Do you also know someone with the surname Quan?”

“We know of one person,” Yao Bing replied.

“That’s quite a coincidence.” Quan Meng took out a book from the side. It was filled with the past works of the designers of Shan Shi Jewelry.

“You can take a look at these and choose a style or designer that you like.”

After the final selection, they still chose to have Quan Meng because her design style had an ethereal feeling that no other design had. It was neither too vulgar nor too plain, and it made people feel happy when they looked at it.

“Then I’ll send you the preliminary design drawings one day later. What do you think? If you have no problem with that, you can just sign here.”

“Actually, I have a small request,” Bai Xin said after thinking for a while. “I hope you can do the design at our villa. We won’t make you go there for nothing. We will pay you more.”

Quan Meng didn’t nod immediately. Instead, she sought Hu Wen’s permission on whether she could go. After receiving an affirmative answer, Quan Meng also agreed to the client’s request. After all, they were offering too much.

“Do the two of you have any specific requests for the ring?” Quan Meng took out her notebook. After all, it was their wedding ring, so she couldn’t design it according to her own preferences.

Yao Bing looked at Bai Xin and signaled for her to speak first.

“I hope it can be simple and not too tacky. It’s best if the colors can be unified.” Bai Xin took out her phone. “Why don’t we add each other’s contact numbers? I’ll send you the details I’ve thought of later.”

“Sure.” Quan Meng nodded and took out her phone.

After sending Yao Bing and Bai Xin off, Quan Meng devoted herself to the design of the ring. In the blink of an eye, the prototype was already in sight, and it was almost time to get off work.

Quan Meng turned on her phone and saw Shen Xin’s message.

[Mengmeng, what time are you getting off work? Let’s go have dinner first and then go shopping!]

Quan Meng thought that it had indeed been a long time since she went out with Shen Xin, so she agreed.

The two of them agreed to meet at the entrance of the food stall that they often went to.

It was strange that the two of them, young ladies from wealthy families, were so addicted to street food that the boss and the lady boss knew them by sight and had even set aside seats exclusively for them.

“I can see that Huo Ling is concerned about you.” When she said this, Shen Xin was holding a beer and a skewer in her hand, enjoying her meal.

“When did your eyes stop working?” Quan Meng didn’t take Shen Xin’s words to heart at all. She didn’t feel that Huo Ling cared about her at all. On the contrary, she felt she was like a clingy dog that kept following Huo Ling everywhere.

“By the way, you’ve been married for so long, have you… done that?” Shen Xin’s smile was a little leering as she looked at Quan Meng with a devious expression.

“Done what?” For a while, Quan Meng didn’t understand what Shen Xin meant.

“Gosh! It’s that matter between a husband and wife! Do you two get along?”

Quan Meng didn’t expect Shen Xin to ask so frankly. She almost choked to death on her skewer of food and hurriedly gulped down two mouthfuls of beer.

“What nonsense are you talking about? We’ve only signed a marriage agreement. We’re not really husband and wife.” Quan Meng’s face was a little red, but no one knew whether it was due to embarrassment or choking.

“Surely it can’t be that Huo Ling can’t do it, can it?” Shen Xin continued to rack her brain. “Could it be he was under too much pressure and then… He needs to be treated quickly. He’s still young.”

“If Huo Ling heard you say this, he would strangle you to death right away.” Quan Meng was also extremely amused by Shen Xin, and the two girls giggled together.

“But he saved you twice. I don’t believe that he doesn’t have feelings for you!” Shen Xin continued eating and then changed the topic.

However, this reminded Quan Meng that Huo Ling was also her savior. She had to thank Huo Ling properly.

Wait a minute. Huo Ling?

As if she suddenly thought of something, Quan Meng whipped out her phone. It was already past 6 pm. Huo Ling had called her, but she didn’t answer the call.

[What time will you be back?] This message from Huo Ling arrived half an hour after she got off work.

[Why aren’t you home yet?] This was the message from an hour ago.

[Where are you?] This was the message from Huo Ling after his call just a while ago wasn’t answered.

Quan Meng hurriedly returned his call. The call was answered after just two rings.

“You still know how to call back?” Huo Ling’s voice sounded very chilly.

“I’m sorry. I was having dinner with Xinxin and forgot about you.” Quan Meng nodded her head apologetically even though Huo Ling could not see her.

“That’s a fine attitude to have!” Huo Ling ended the call after saying this. Shen Xin and Quan Meng exchanged looks with each other, looking somewhat confused.

Was Huo Ling angry?
