Most importantly, the makeup on her face hid most of her childishness. This way, she would not appear too out of place at the cocktail party and be treated as a child.
Returning to her room, Jian Ai opened the closet. A huge packaging box lay quietly on the bottom shelf.
She carefully took it out and opened the lid. A gorgeous dark blue evening dress lay inside.
This dress was the birthday gift Guan Tao had spent a month on making for her.
She initially wanted to say that she would not have a chance to wear this evening dress, but she did not expect it to come in handy today.
As expected of her best friend, Guan Tao had grasped Jian Ai’s measurements just right. She wore a dress that reached to her ankle, where the fish scale skirt with sequins, that were stitched by hand, glistened. Even the dark blue silk under the light muslin was smooth and high-end. The light V neckline revealed Jian Ai’s exquisite collarbone and her fair neck that was long and straight. Coupled with her light makeup and slightly curled hair that fell to her shoulders, she instantly radiated a different kind of brilliance. She was so beautiful that even Jian Ai was stunned.
After putting on the Tiffany bracelet Lin Yi gave her and the platinum necklace Jiang Chunfen gave her, Jian Ai revealed her youthful side. She caressed her dress and turned around slightly in front of the mirror. She smiled and said, “Perfect!”
I’m a little fairy!
The clock pointed to six in the evening. Wu Bi’s phone rang on time.
In the living room, Si Yuehan was watching television. When he heard the door of Jian Ai’s room open, he instinctively looked up.
His casual glance shocked him.
This…
Jian Ai smiled at Si Yuehan with her silver high heels. Her smile was like the moon in the sky and as bright as the Milky Way.
“Do I look good, Si Yue?” Jian Ai raised her dress and looked at him.
Si Yuehan immediately came back to his senses and nodded blankly. “You… look… good…”
Obviously, Si Yuehan, who had never seen this side of the Sect Master before, was completely shocked by Jian Ai’s new image.
He looked away awkwardly, and for the first time, his face turned red.
It was not a blush of excitement, but a blush of helplessness.
“If I’m back late tonight, you don’t have to wait for me!” Jian Ai said to Si Yue before leaving.
Si Yuehan answered with a stiff tone, “Got it.” However, he didn’t dare to look up at Jian Ai again.
As she went downstairs, old ladies were gathered under a tree in the neighborhood. When they saw Jian Ai in a luxurious evening dress, they immediately praised her.
“Oh, this girl is so beautiful.”
“She’s dressed like a princess.”
“That’s right. She’s like a princess…”
Jian Ai’s mood became even better when she heard this. She hurried out of the neighborhood.
A black Bentley was parked by the road outside the neighborhood. Wu Bi was wearing a black suit and leaning against the car door. He was tall and slender.
Seeing Jian Ai, his eyes were filled with surprise. He watched her walk towards him step by step.
“Brother Wu Bi!” Jian Ai stood in front of him and smiled. “How is it? I won’t lower your price, right?”
Wu Bi looked at Jian Ai longingly. After a while, he shook his head and sighed. “Xiao Ai, you’re… amazing!”
Wu Bi’s gaze and tone were not mixed with any falsehood, making Jian Ai feel delighted.. “I think so too.”
