After buying new shoes for Ningguang, Fang Xun didn't stop. He turned around and took the little girl to a clothing store to buy new clothes.
However, this time, buying clothes wasn't as smooth as buying shoes.
Fang Xun took little Ningguang to several clothing stores, but they all left empty-handed.
It wasn't a matter of the price of the clothes, but rather that the clothes in the stores were too ordinary.
Since Fang Xun had decided to take care of the pitiful little Ningguang, he naturally wanted to give her the best.
How could he settle for something mediocre?
Since there wasn't any satisfactory clothing,
he would personally commission a set for Ningguang!
No sooner said than done.
The first step in commissioning clothing was to draw a rough sketch.
Fang Xun believed the outfit that suited Ningguang best was undoubtedly Orchid in the Silk.
He still clearly remembered when he did Ningguang's hangout event,
Fang Xun was completely stunned when Ningguang, wearing Orchid in the Silk, first appeared.
Because Orchid in the Silk's design was too perfect,
it perfectly showcased Ningguang's elegant and refined, aloof temperament!
This also meant that even though Ningguang was only a four-star character, many players loved her.
Who could resist a rich older sister like that?
Soon,
Fang Xun sketched Orchid in the Silk based on his memory.
And, building on Orchid in the Silk's original design, he made subtle adjustments.
He reduced the original maturity and sexiness, adding a touch of playfulness and cuteness.
Just right for the little Ningguang she was at the time.
While Fang Xun was drawing,
the naive little Ningguang stayed by his side.
She rested her chin on her hands, watching Fang Xun draw quietly.
Although the current Ningguang couldn't understand the complicated and ever-changing gray lines on the draft,
she felt that Fang Xun was very capable,
able to design such beautiful clothes!
Of course,
Besides adoration,
Ningguang's heart was filled with emotion.
Fang Xun could have easily bought her any outfit and been done with it; after all, she was just a secretary.
But Fang Xun didn't do that. Instead, he chose to design the clothes for her personally.
This made Ningguang feel valued by Fang Xun.
No one, not even her mother, had ever cared for her so much.
Fang Xun-gege is so kind!
Little Ningguang felt somewhat fortunate.
Fortunately, I chose to be Fang Xun's secretary.
At this moment, Fang Xun looked at Ningguang and asked softly, "Little Ningguang, do you know who the most famous tailor in Liyue is?"
Now that they had the sketch,
the next step was to find a tailor to make the clothes.
This was not something to be taken lightly.
After all, the tailor's skill would affect the quality of the finished product.
In the game, Ningguang's Orchid in the Silk took a long time to be custom-made.
This also showed that making Orchid in the Silk was extremely demanding on tailoring techniques.
Little Ningguang thought for a moment, then nodded. "Fang Xun-gege, I know a very skilled tailor nearby. Follow me~"
Ningguang led the way skillfully, and Fang Xun followed leisurely behind.
As they walked, Fang Xun felt that the surroundings were somewhat familiar.
It was as if he had been here before.
Fang Xun remembered,
the inn where he had stayed last night was nearby.
Just then,
Ningguang stopped, turned her head, and said to Fang Xun, "Fang Xun-gege, we're at the tailor shop. It's right here~"
Fang Xun looked up and saw a tailor shop not far away.
Although the tailor shop didn't look very big,
the finished clothes were indeed more exquisite than those in the few clothing stores he'd visited earlier.
This indicated that the tailor shop owner's craftsmanship was quite good.
Fang Xun walked into the shop and politely said, "Hello, shopkeeper. I'd like to order a piece of clothing."
After saying this, Fang Xun looked up at the shopkeeper and was quite surprised.
Because the tailor shop owner was actually someone he'd met last night,
Ying'er's mother!
I didn't see that coming.
Image
Ying'er's mother has so many businesses under her name.
She runs a hotel and a tailor shop.
She must be a low-key wealthy woman.
At this moment, Ying'er's mother looked at Fang Xun with a complaining expression, like a young woman in the depths of her chambers.
"What's this? Last night you were calling me 'sister,' and today it's 'boss'? Can you get any more distant?"
"So, in the end, it was just a business transaction between us."
"You use me up, and then you don't even know me after you get out of bed."
"In the end, I was the only one who shouldered everything."
Fang Xun: "???"
Wait a minute,
Why does that sound like he's a complete scumbag?
He and Ying'er's mother didn't do anything, they were perfectly innocent, right??
At most, they were just landlord and traveler.
Fang Xun became even more convinced,
The reason Ying'er is the Liyue car king is entirely because she inherited her mother's teachings.
Little Ningguang, innocent as could be, didn't understand a word of it.
She just blinked her big eyes and looked up at Ying'er's mother, asking curiously, "Aunt Yujin, did Brother Fang Xun bully you?"
"Is there some misunderstanding? Brother Fang Xun is a good person!"
Little Ningguang was full of worry.
Seeing Fang Xun's reputation damaged, she was more anxious than anyone to clear his name.
At that moment,
the beautiful, mature woman called Yujin squatted down and gently stroked Ningguang's head.
A faint smile played on her lips: "No, dear. Auntie knows your Brother Fang Xun. I was just joking with him."
It was clear that Yujin wasn't always so forward.
At least, she toned it down when children were present.
Her beautiful eyes turned to Fang Xun, and her alluring voice rang out, "What brings you here?"
Fang Xun handed Yujin the sketch of Orchid in the Silk and said, "I want to commission a dress for Ningguang. Can you help me with this?"
Although Yujin had a certain reputation, she was extremely responsible when it came to business.
Upon hearing that Fang Xun wanted to commission a dress, she immediately became serious.
"I need to see the design first before I can give you an answer."
When Yujin saw the sketch of Orchid in the Silk, she was taken aback.
Beautiful.
This dress is just too beautiful.
Yujin, as a tailor, has handled hundreds, even thousands, of garments.
But only Fang Xun's sketch gave her this feeling of being utterly captivated.
It's no exaggeration to say that this dress, named Orchid in the Silk, is a work of art!
Yujin could already foresee that if Orchid in the Silk appeared in Liyue, it would cause quite a stir!
Perhaps, the market would even undergo a huge change because of Orchid in the Silk!
The more Yujin looked at the design, the more shocked she became.
The person who designed Orchid in the Silk is absolutely a genius!
Yujin's beautiful eyes turned to Fang Xun, and then she curiously asked, "Fang Xun, where did you get the design for this dress?"
"This is definitely the work of a master. Looking at all of Liyue, no one can design such a garment."
Before Fang Xun could speak, Ningguang, who was standing beside him, spoke first: "Aunt Yujin, this Orchid in the Silk was drawn by Brother Fang Xun himself!"
"I was right there at the side, watching Brother Fang Xun draw it stroke by stroke!"
Little Ningguang's tone was filled with joy.
After all, Fang Xun could get such a high evaluation from Yujin, and Ningguang was also happy for him from the bottom of her heart.
Hearing this answer, Yujin was even more shocked.
She hadn't expected that this Orchid in the Silk was actually made by Fang Xun?
It seemed this stranger wasn't simple!
Fang Xun steered away from the topic, asking Yujin, "How is it? Can you make this dress?"
Yujin looked at the Orchid in the Silk's sketch again, and then said, "It's challenging, but I should be able to make it."
Receiving Yujin's confirmation, Fang Xun also said solemnly, "Then I'll leave it to you. After all, this is Ningguang's new dress."
Yujin nodded, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
"I also feel bad for Ningguang, so I'll definitely be responsible for this."
Yujin paused, then continued, "Besides, even if you're heartless towards me, I can't be indifferent. After all, we spent a wonderful night together."
"Rest assured, I'll treat this Orchid in the Silk with the same care and tenderness as our child."
