Chapter 310: Riding Girl
Chapter 310
Steven coach took Xiao Qi from one hotel to another hotel.
Hilton is a more modern business hotel, while the other hotel is an antique quadrangle courtyard.
It was like traveling through history.
But it didn't feel cheap at all, because it looked even more luxurious than Hilton.
The cozy scent was very consistent, that kind of chamomile smell.
Before getting off the car, Steven asked Xiao Qi repeatedly: "How do I look today? Is the tie too formal?"
Xiao Qi didn't know either. Anyway, she saw Steven coach like this, feeling all kinds of uncomfortable. She felt it was quite casual for coach to wear a jacket on ordinary days, which was also casual.
Wearing a suit was also good. The coach had a good figure and could carry off the suit well. But it just felt a little strange, not used to it.
Without waiting for Xiao Qi to answer, he took off his tie again, then put it back on, then took it off again, put it back on, and finally took it off.
It was a little more relaxed without being so serious and business-like. Xiao Qi also felt more comfortable with it.
They waited in the hotel lobby, and after a while, a middle-aged woman with slightly dark skin but very charming, arm in arm with a middle-aged fat man in a suit, came out.
Xiao Qi saw coach stand up immediately, nervously tugging at his clothes.
She couldn't bear to watch.
"Olivia."
"Steven, let me introduce you, this is my husband Ben. Ben this is my ex-husband Steven."
Only then did Steven see the middle-aged fat man that the woman was arm in arm with. Embarrassingly, they both wore suits of the same color, a light gray. Steven remembered Olivia said she liked this color and liked men wearing suits. She had now found a fat man in a light gray suit...
Okay, he wasn't that fat, although a little fat, but he looked much more comfortable wearing a suit than him. Steven felt uncomfortable wearing a suit, as if he was stuffed in a pod.
The middle-aged fat man warmly hugged Steven and said, "I've seen videos of you competing in equestrian events, simply amazing. Thank you for taking care of Olivia in the past."
Xiao Qi did not expect that the famous fashion designer coach had brought her to meet turned out to be his ex-wife. Seeing her ex-wife chatting with her current husband, while the coach looked embarrassed, Xiao Qi also felt embarrassed... The coach had lost at the first move.
However, she didn't pay much attention to the coach for long. She was soon hugged by this dark yellow-skinned, charming woman, who even kissed her on the cheek.
"You look much better in person than in your photos," Olivia said in halting Chinese.
Xiao Qi replied in English, "Thank you."
Olivia didn't care at all how her two ex-husbands communicated. She dragged Xiao Qi away.
Xiao Qi had never met such an enthusiastic lady before and couldn't resist at all.
They were staying in a very large suite, at least four times the size of Xiao Qi's room at the Hilton. The room Xiao Qi was dragged into felt like a clothes shop, with clothes hanging everywhere.
"Dear, when I first saw your photo, I knew what I wanted to design. But the final version still depends on seeing you in person. Steven has never been reliable in getting things done. By the time he asked me to design clothes, it was already very late. Luckily I could just finish in time, and it worked out perfectly that our honeymoon was also scheduled in the ancient capital."
Olivia babbled on while flipping through clothes.
Fortunately Xiao Qi's English was quite good now, and she could understand every word.
But when her clothes were stripped off in a flash, leaving only a small vest and hot pants... she still shivered a little.
Was this woman really a fashion designer?
Because of the tight schedule, Olivia designed two riding outfits.
One was white and red, white skinny riding pants, paired with a red top, black boots, this set looked more formal.
The other was a black top paired with slightly loose jeans, mid boots, looking a little more casual.
Xiao Qi was stripped down to almost naked, and went to try on the slightly more casual riding outfit first.
Unexpectedly, it fit very well and was very comfortable. Turning front, back, left and right, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
And it looked like she had grown much taller, with very good proportional pairings.
At first glance, the black top looked like a satin shirt, but it actually had a military style, with a slightly thicker texture. Autumn in Beijing was still quite cool, and there was a belt and shoulder straps, casual with a touch of formality.
The gray washed jeans visual matched the boots, also giving a heroic air, Xiao Qi looking at herself in the mirror, felt it looked pretty good.
Olivia took one look at Xiao Qi, then lowered her head to fiddle with her phone. After a while, she flipped out a photo and handed it to Xiao Qi, "Look alike?"
Xiao Qi saw that it was none other than young Diana, looking a bit like a tomboy, with short hair, wearing relatively gender-neutral shirts and vests.
Okay, at first glance there was some resemblance.
Not the facial features, but the feeling.
Watching Xiao Qi turn around, Olivia stripped her clothes off again, murmuring, "The shoulders need to be tweaked here, can be softer."
Then she had Xiao Qi try on the other red and white set.
The red and white riding outfit was a little tight, more formal. Wearing it, she didn't feel like she was going riding, more like attending a very solemn banquet or something.
Xiao Qi didn't expect that wearing this outfit, she would also give off this kind of feeling. Hmm, very good looking, but also a bit irritating, very cocky.
But the white neutralized this irritability, probably another feeling, of aloof nobility. Yes, Xiao Qi felt wearing the red and white riding outfit gave her a superior, aloof, noble feeling. If she had to describe it, she probably felt a bit pretentious like Li and Wei Jin characters.
No wonder she always felt these characters were so good looking, yet at the same time felt unapproachable and didn't dare get close, probably this feeling of aloofness and not fitting in was pretentious.
Xiao Qi didn't expect that wearing these clothes, she would also give off this feeling. Hmm, very good looking, but also a bit smug and cocky.
Olivia looked ecstatic and exclaimed, "Perfect, this is the feeling I wanted. Su, you've made my dream come true."
Then she hugged Xiao Qi and kissed her wildly, looking up and down at the clothes, going to modify again, saying there was a crease in the pants that needed to be fixed.
Xiao Qi changed back into her own clothes and sat to one side, just watching the woman with her head lowered, hair cascading, earnestly modifying the fabric in her hand under the tall glass window.
At first glance this slightly dark skinned woman didn't strike Xiao Qi as very beautiful, possibly because of different aesthetic standards. But looking now, she unexpectedly felt the woman was very attractive, with an indescribable charm.
A certain allure was emanating.
At this moment Xiao Qi suddenly understood what kind of woman could make Coach Steven fall head over heels.
Focused yet passionate, casual yet charming, she was composed and alluring.
Her look when seriously working was especially beautiful.
As Xiao Qi watched her in a daze, the mechanical voice in her mind suddenly sounded: "Host carefully observes this woman, learning to find the beautiful highlights in her, improving host's own aesthetic ability, rewarding host's temperament growth +1."
Xiao Qi: ...Seems to remember one of the recent rewards was this one. Looking at herself in the big mirror, it was hard to feel any change, she saw herself every day.
But she felt Olivia wouldn't pay her any attention for a while, so Xiao Qi took out the Spanish vocabulary book from her bag, sitting in the corner, starting to utilize the fragmented time to study.
When Olivia finished up and looked up, this was the scene she saw: the short-haired girl sitting on that Chinese style chest, earnestly looking at a book, hair a bit messy. She was engrossed and beautiful, sunshine spilled at her feet, she was hidden in the shadows but one could see time flowing peacefully. The messy fabrics and clothes all around became background colors.
Olivia was an outstanding fashion designer, with a very good foundation in painting, especially oils. She immediately sketched out this scene on the drawing board next to her, planning to paint it slowly later.
