While I was sizing her up, she was also sizing me up.
"You want to buy a silk gown?" That arrogant tone, that contemptuous gaze, she completely treated herself as a high and mighty princess.
I narrowed my eyes slightly and a faint smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. I glared back without showing any weakness.
"Ah! That's right!" I have the royal bloodline, so why would I be afraid of you?
"Silk gowns are not something that commoners like you can afford. Commoners should stick to their duties and not dream of standing with noble people.”
"Whether we can afford it or not is our own business.”
"Humph!" She sneered disdainfully. He turned around and ordered the manager,""Let her choose."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The store manager quickly smiled and bowed.
Asakura gave me a scornful sneer before turning around and walking in. The manager immediately brought us along.
More than a dozen noble gowns sparkled under the lights. Xiao Ye's eyes lit up, but he didn't dare to move. I looked at them one by one, and my brows couldn't help but furrow tighter and tighter. The various gems on the clothes dazzled my eyes, and the soft and smooth silk seemed vulgar. Don't you have a plainer gown?
Ms. Asakura had already brought a white dress with diamonds into the fitting room. I continued to frown. Just as I was about to give up and go home to make something for myself, my eyes suddenly lit up.
It was a pure white gown. The strapless tube top design highlighted the nobility of the gown. The ribbon at the waist could decorate a beautiful figure, and the wide hem naturally hung below the waist because of the silk texture. What I was most satisfied with were the sleeves. The palace-style trumpet sleeves that were completely separated from the clothes were elegant and elegant. Most importantly, such wide sleeves could hide a lot of things. Ever since the assassination incident, I always bring some self-defense items when I go out. Because they often encountered demons, they had to carry the Five Elemental Talismans with them at all times. However, it's very inconvenient to hide these things on my body when I'm wearing a gown. The sleeves of this gown suit me perfectly. Moreover, it's very convenient to put things in the sleeves in case of danger. Moreover, this dress did not have those troublesome gemstone decorations.
The more he looked, the more satisfied he became. He pointed and said,""This one!"
The store manager saw that I had chosen and immediately asked someone to take it down for me to try on. She gave Xiao Ye a reassuring look and told her to wait for me outside. Then, she turned around and went into the fitting room.
After changing her clothes, she took out a white jade hairpin from her bag and tied her hair up. Although she didn't know what hairstyle the gown would go with, she couldn't possibly wear her hair down!
When he walked out of the changing room, Asakura was already out. The long dress in the classical Greek style made her look even more noble, and the diamonds embedded in her body were even more dazzling. She looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction and smiled. However, when she saw that I was wearing the same white dress as her, a trace of displeasure flashed across her eyes, and she glared at me.
I laughed coldly in my heart. White is the exclusive color of the Murong royal family. If it was 3,000 years ago, you would have been hacked to death if you dared to wear this in the Great Yan Kingdom. How could he continue to pretend to be noble here?
"Wow! Murong, you're so beautiful!" Xiao Ye looked at me with shining eyes.
Hearing this, Asakura's face turned even uglier. The store manager saw that something was wrong and immediately flattered,"Miss Asakura, this gown is very suitable for your noble temperament. Right now, you're like a noble queen, making everyone pale!”
Asakura was still looking at himself in the mirror arrogantly, ignoring the store manager.
"I want this one."
"Then I'll take this one!"
Asakura and I spoke at the same time, then stared at each other at the same time. In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the air, and electricity flew everywhere.
When I took out my card to pay, Asakura glared at me angrily. When the manager saw my card, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. After all, only people with an annual income of at least 100 million yuan were qualified to apply for a limited edition gold card.
Xiao Ye didn't expect that I would really be able to buy that piece of clothing. He didn't come back to his senses the entire way.
When she returned home, she tried on the gown she had just bought and changed the sleeves slightly to make it easier to hide things. She also felt that it was a little monotonous without any decorations, so she embroidered some flowing clouds on the sleeves and the hem of the dress with silver thread.
For the next two days, I didn't go out. I stayed at home to prepare a birthday present for Atobe. In order not to be scratched, I even turned off my phone. Finally, they finished at ten o'clock on Sunday night. He looked at the embroidery in front of him and smiled in satisfaction. I wonder what expression Atobe will have when he sees this! Hehe, I'm looking forward to it!
The next day, Xiao Ye was very excited all day. He kept muttering in my ear. I was about to interrupt her when a classmate suddenly walked up to me and said,"Murong, someone is looking for you." I quickly ran out.
"Burg, it's you! You've really helped me a lot!" I said, relieved. If she continued to be read like this, she really couldn't take it. She had to be careful when she attended the ball. She couldn't do this and couldn't do that. She had a headache listening to it.
"Murong, tonight's ball…"
"What about the ball?" I asked curiously when I saw that Burg was a little hesitant.
"I wanted to ask you, are you willing to be my dance partner tonight?”Burg asked with a smile.
" Burg, I'm sorry, I've already invited the class monitor, so…"
"It's okay. I'll find someone else.”Burg quickly said.
"I'm sorry!"
"No, class is about to start. I'll go back to the classroom first.”
"Yes!"
After sending Duren off, the bell for class soon rang. I heaved a sigh of relief. His ears could finally rest.
After school in the afternoon, the class monitor called me.
"Murong, where is your home?"
"267 Tokyo Avenue. What's wrong?"
"I'll pick you up tonight."
I was stunned for a moment, then immediately remembered that the class monitor was my dance partner today. He naturally agreed.
The dance party starts at eight in the evening. I received a call from the class monitor at half past seven when I was ready.
"Murong, where are you now?"
"I'm still at home! Class monitor, are you here already?"
"I'm at 266 Tokyo Prefectural Avenue, but I don't see your house.”
There was a hint of doubt in the class leader's calm voice. He probably thought that no one lived behind him, just like Atobe.
"Wait a moment, I'll be right there.”
After saying that, I took the wrapped gift and went out. The weather in October had already begun to turn cold, not to mention that it was night time. I was wearing white heels that were five centimeters tall. I was extremely unaccustomed to jogging all the way and almost sprained my ankle several times.
The class monitor stood beside the car in a gray suit.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
"No, hurry up and get in the car!" The class monitor opened the door for me like a gentleman.
The heater was carefully turned on in the car, and the windows were all closed, so the cold wind outside could not blow in at all. The car drove straight into the Atobe residence. After getting out of the car, she held the class monitor's hand and walked in as elegantly as possible. I walked carefully along the way. Although the floor of the Atobe family was very flat, this was the first time I wore high heels. If I accidentally sprained my ankle, it would be a small matter for me to lose face. Anyway, it wasn't the first time I lost face in the Atobe family. But this time, I'm the class monitor's dance partner! If such a thing really happens, the class monitor's brilliance will be ruined in my hands. The pressure was so great! It was better to quickly go in and find a place to sit.
As soon as he entered the living room of the Atobe family, he realized that the Atobe guy was indeed impressive. Basically, except for Xiao Ye, everyone I know has been invited. Frost Monarch's main candidate was already here, and even Li Hai University's candidate had arrived. The class monitor and I attracted everyone's attention as soon as we entered. I maintained a stiff smile on my face and followed the class monitor to my school. He was really not used to such an atmosphere!
After everyone greeted each other, I started to look for Atobe. It was better to give him the gift as soon as possible. It was a little awkward to stand in this group of people wearing a gown and holding a gift.
"What is Murong looking for?" Burg asked with a smile.
"Ask Atobe to give him the gift!"
"Didn't you give the gift to the butler when you came in?”Everyone looked at me in surprise.
"Hand it over to the butler? Isn't a birthday present usually given directly to the person?”Was this the default rule of the big families?
Just as I was wondering, the lights in the hall suddenly went out. In the darkness, before I could react, I suddenly became the focus of everyone. I regret it to death in my heart. I really shouldn't have chosen this hairpin inlaid with a luminous pearl…
