The white man gave a greedy smile and his eyes had a gleam of disdain. He snorted, “She is just a toy. How noble can she be? I want her to be mine tonight.”

Xu Fang’s face froze when she heard the man say “toy” but she soon calmed down and sat upright in her seat and watched the show attentively. That man went back to his seat to sat down and stared at Tang Xi’s back, stroking his chin. His eyes were full of greed and lust...

Xu Fang took a look at Tang Xi, raised her eyebrows and pursed her lips. “Tang Xi, you asked for this. You can blame no one else but yourself. You love showing off too much! A person like you should keep a low profile to get away from unnecessary troubles. People in China may know you, but this is Paris. Here not everyone knows who you are. Tonight you’ll become a vulgar man’s sex toy. Enjoy!”

Noticing Xu Fang’s stare. Tang Xi turned her eyes to Xu Fang and frowned. Xu Fang looked away, and concentrated on watching the show, without looking at Tang Xi again.

Just then, Carl came over to speak to Tang Xi, and she turned to chat with him...

Two hours later, the show was finished. After being interviewed by the media, Carl invited Tang Xi to have dinner with him. “Lawrence is waiting for us in the restaurant. Let’s go there together?”

Tang Xi took a look at her watch, and looked around, saying, “I’ve taken a bodyguard with me. Let me tell him to go back himself. Wait a minute.”

“Take your bodyguard with you. Then he can send you home if you get drunk.” Carl smiled. “We’ll drink till all’s blue tonight.”

Hearing this, Tang Xi smiled. “Okay, Let’s get drunk tonight.”

Tang Xi went to Qiao Liang and told him she was going to have dinner with Carl and Lawrence. Qiao Liang didn’t want her to go but then he thought that Tang Xi would have to deal with this kind of circumstance in the future, so he agreed but insisted that he must accompany her to the restaurant.

The dinner was in a restaurant in the Eiffel Tower. When Tang Xi and Carl reached the restaurant, Lawrence had ordered the dishes. Seeing Tang Xi, he stood up, all smiles and hugged Tang Xi, saying, “Xixi, it’s been a long time, you have become even more beautiful. I wanted to say hello to you in the show today, but too many gentlemen were around you. I didn’t manage to force my way through the crowd.”

Tang Xi smiled shyly, saying, “Are you laughing at me? I was so embarrassed.”

She didn’t expect that she would attract so much attention in the dress that Carl had designed for her. So many men had rushed up to accost her, which made her feel embarrassed. And more importantly... Qiao Liang kept staring at her in jealousy. She could be sure that if it weren’t the show field, he would have gouged out the eyes of those men who had been staring at her.

Lawrence smiled, pulled a chair for Tang Xi and signaled for her to sit down in a gentlemanly manner. “No, I’m not laughing at you. You can be any designer’s muse.” Then he said to Carl with a smile, “You can ask Carl. If it weren’t for you, he might not have been able to design such a beautiful dress.”

Carl nodded with a smile. Tang Xi blushed and said, “Okay, don’t make fun of me. I’m so flattered by you.”

The three of them had a nice meal. Lawrence invited Tang Xi to attend his fashion party to be held in a few days, which he would hold every three years. Tang Xi certainly wouldn’t refuse. Not everyone could attend this fashion party. The attendees were all fashionistas, for example, editors of fashion magazines, top models or the people who had made outstanding contributions to fashion.

“What are you going to do these days?” They chatted and enjoyed the meal. Lawrence asked Tang Xi.

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, saying, “I’ll watch a show next Wednesday. I’ve also received the invitation cards of some other brands, but I have no interest to watch these shows after watching Carl’s show today. The show next Wednesday will be held by a new design company. I want to have a look at it.”

“Does this company have great potential?” Lawrence took a sip of wine, raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Xi. “I never expect you will watch the show of an obscure brand.”

“Yes, I’ve seen their invitation card. I like the brand’s name. This is the first show of their company. I want to watch the show.” Tang Xi took out an invitation card from her handbag and smiled. “I saw this in my post box this morning. The name attracted me, The Queen.”

Lawrence took over the invitation card, have a look at it, and nodded. “The design of the invitation card is creative, and the company’s name matches you well. You can have a look of their show. If you think it’s good, I might recommend this brand on my magazine.”

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, saying, “Wow, so our Lawrence is going to recommend a new brand?”

Carl also took a look at the invitation card, then he paused and asked, “Tang, may I go to watch this company’s show with you? I want to see what this company and their designers are like. It is just founded but has been able to hold a show in Paris Fashion Week. That’s rare.”

“This is a small company.” Tang Xi said with a smile, “Perhaps their show won’t attract any attention. I don’t have high expectations for this brand.”

Carl shook his head, saying, “Sometimes small companies can give you great surprises.” He looked at Tang Xi and his eyes show his sincerity. “Aren’t you attracted by them?”

Tang Xi smiled as she said, “Yes, I was attracted by their name indeed. I’ll call you when the time has come.”

“Hey, how can you two forget me? I’ll go with you.” Lawrence smiled and called his assistant, telling him to get an invitation card for him. Tang Xi said, “There might not be many people to watch the show. You can just go with me. You don’t have to get an invitation card.”

Lawrence smiled. “No, I should show them my full respect.”

Carl nodded, and called his assistant, telling him to get an invitation card of The Queen. He would go watch the show with the invitation card.

Tang Xi was relieved to see both of them agree to watch the show. She wouldn’t be afraid with the two fashion gurus present!
