"Well, Ah Yi, I’ll go out and greet people first." Fang Chenze didn’t want to stay here any longer; it was quite awkward.
He didn’t want to hear things he shouldn’t hear.
Just now, he couldn’t help but want to retort, saying it’s been six years since she didn’t like you.
Huo Jincheng had always only addressed her as Miss Shen; if he liked her, he would have liked her long ago. Why wait until now?
"Sister Xinzhi, what’s the point of drinking ? What does it mean? Will Brother care? There are many women who adore him, and you’re no exception. Yet, Brother just cares about Lu Xingzhi."
Helian Yi straightforwardly added some weight to his words, "Even if you drink yourself to death here today, it would mean nothing to him. He still likes Lu Xingzhi. He won’t change because of you."
Shen Xinzhu’s hand holding the wine paused, tears kept falling, "But what can I do? Only by getting drunk can I feel a bit better. What’s so great about Lu Xingzhi? Why, after knowing her for such a short time, does he like her? Just because she’s pretty? Am I really not good-looking?"
Helian Yi didn’t know how to answer Shen Xinzhu’s question, "Sister Xinzhi, don’t underestimate yourself; you are beautiful too, a kind of beauty that is enduring, different from the stunning beauty of Lu Xingzhi. Moreover, you have talent, having organized personal concerts. You are a pianist, you are the best."
Helian Yi didn’t mention that Lu Xingzhi, besides being stunning at first glance, was also the type that became more beautiful the more you looked.
"But why doesn’t Brother like me?"
He no longer wanted to say anything.
Over the years, he had said enough.
In his opinion, Shen Xinzhu was the most suitable for Huo Jincheng, but that was just his thought. Brother doesn’t like her!
The day before school started, the banquet Huo Jincheng mentioned that he wanted Lu Xingzhi to accompany him to finally arrived.
The dress had been bought when Huo Jincheng mentioned it.
In the morning, Lu Xingzhi let the makeup artist Huo Jincheng called over work on her face for a while.
While applying makeup, the makeup artist said, "Mrs. Huo, your skin is really nice—no need for much makeup, I’ll just touch you up a bit."
The makeup artist truly felt her skin was too tender, both white and delicate.
She only applied eyeliner and mascara on Lu Xingzhi, making her eyes look more spirited, delineating a more enchanting contour.
Then it was a thin layer of blush and grapefruit-colored lipstick.
All these makeup products were the best that Huo Jincheng bought for Lu Xingzhi, the makeup artist even felt she hadn’t contributed much.
Once the makeup was done, Lu Xingzhi changed into the dress.
Huo Jincheng didn’t just buy one dress for her but many, ultimately, Lu Xingzhi chose a long, off-shoulder gown in canary yellow, with a layer of tulle on top adorned with tiny diamonds that sparkled.
When she appeared before Huo Jincheng in this dress, with makeup and wearing five-centimeter high heels, the stunning look in Huo Jincheng’s eyes was perfectly revealed.
She looked incredibly beautiful dressed .
Lu Xingzhi felt a bit unnatural, though she couldn’t believe the reflection she saw in the mirror just now.
She had never dressed up so elaborately before.
There was a gentle smile in Huo Jincheng’s eyes.
He walked over to her, touched her neck, "There’s still something missing here."
