Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Although Song Ting had a cold personality, his experience as a doctor exposed him to a wide range of emotions, making him quite adept at understanding human nature. So, he could sense Song Yin’s expectations.
This implied that the event held substantial importance for Song Yin, and Song Ting was eager to uncover the underlying motive.
Song Yin regretted seeking her elder brother’s help. She lacked the audacity to deceive him. In the past, her approach was to cry and manipulate situations, making it appear as if Song Fan was bullying her. However, she was hesitant to lie to her older brother directly.
She then immediately started crying to stall for time. Eventually, she said,
“Lately, everyone has been saying that I’m not a true member of the Song Family because Sister is the true daughter of the Song Family. Attending the banquet with you will put an end to these rumors, and no one will say such things anymore.”
This statement wasn’t entirely untrue; Song Yin had genuinely considered this aspect, and her quick thinking allowed her to come up with this reason on the spot.
Song Ting found this explanation reasonable and agreed, “If that’s the case, then you can come with me.”
Upon hearing her brother’s consent, Song Yin was so overjoyed that she almost jumped with excitement. She now had the opportunity to see Fu Nian, which was her primary goal. Her first action after leaving her brother’s study was to select a stunning gown.
For this long-awaited reunion, she aimed to impress everyone and convey to Fu Nian that she was the most compatible with him.
However, Song Yin’s excitement got the better of her, causing her to forget to inform Song Kai about this turn of events. It was only when they were getting ready to leave that he discovered the change.
Song Kai dressed in a suit and stood by the door, showing a puzzled expression on his face.
“Aren’t I supposed to accompany our elder brother to attend the banquet?” Song Yin stood beside Song Ting and lowered her head, feeling somewhat embarrassed. “I forgot to inform you that Big Brother agreed to take me to the banquet.”
Song Kai sighed, a hint of exasperation in his voice. “I was all set to go. You should have let me know earlier.”
“I’m sorry,” Song Yin said, retreating behind Song Ting as though she had suffered a grave injustice.
Song Kai found himself in a novel predicament. He experienced firsthand the frustration of not being able to explain himself fully. After all, he had only asked a few questions, her reaction seemed overly dramatic.
After glancing at his watch, Song Ting decided it was time to leave. He comforted Song Kai with a pat on the shoulder before escorting Song Yin to the car.
Song Kai watched their departure for a long while, yet still bewildered by the situation. He was the one at a disadvantage, yet it felt like he was being unfairly portrayed as the bully. This discomfort weighed heavily on his chest.
Unable to bear the emptiness of the house, he left, hopping on his motorcycle without concern for the fact that he was still dressed in a suit.
Song Fan was at home, struggling to fit himself into a dress. A man’s voice came over the phone, saying, “I specially designed this dress for you. While it may not compare to your designs, it should still suit you quite well.”
“Kevin, did you ever think while designing it that I might struggle to wear it?” Song Fan replied in a slightly exasperated tone.
Kevin explained, “The waistline of this dress has been tailored to fit your figure perfectly, but the hemline is intentionally loose.”
After much effort, Song Fan managed to put on the dress and remarked, “If we call that layer of gauze a hemline, then I suppose there’s nothing more to be done.”
Kevin’s voice on the other end of the phone was filled with enthusiasm as he exclaimed, “This design aligns perfectly with your requirements. It can serve as a gown without restricting your movements.”
Song Fan gazed at herself in the mirror and found that indeed, the gown was unique. It consisted of spaghetti straps and shorts, with black muslin draped over the shoulders to create a coat-like appearance. The muslin cascaded down to the waist, giving the illusion of a dress.
However, in reality, Song Fan could perform martial arts moves while wearing it.
She nodded in satisfaction and said, “I’m very satisfied with this design.”
Kevin couldn’t believe his ears. He exclaimed, “I can’t believe I’ve received praise from the renowned designer Ella in my lifetime. This could go down in my introduction.”
Song Fan couldn’t bear the tone and was about to respond when the doorbell rang. She quickly hung up the call, went to the door, and was surprised to see Song Kai in a suit. She asked, “Why are you dressed like that?”
Song Kai stared at Song Fan in astonishment. He was accustomed to seeing her in a sweater, but this was the first time he had seen her in a gown.
The pure black design exuded an air of nobility and mystery, giving Song Fan an aura of worldly indifference.
Upon seeing him like this, Song Fan waved her hand. “Say something.”
With a disgruntled expression, Song Kai proceeded to recount everything that had happened. He concluded, “I used to find Yinyin cute, but this time, something feels off.”
Song Fan almost burst out laughing. It was Song Yin’s signature move, and when it was directed at her in the past, they hadn’t thought much of it.
However, now that it was aimed at Song Kai, he found it hard to accept..
