Chapter 632: Chapter 632: You Act, I Act Too—Play Within a Play
Ji Hanyu’s words made Bai Haoxue choke for a moment; he really sees her through rose-colored glasses.
At the same time, Bai Haoxue couldn’t help but find it amusing.
In the end, Bai Haoxue simply said, "Then you pick... whichever one you think I look good in, I’ll wear that one."
"You..." Ji Hanyu was now at a loss for words.
He had already gone through them; of all the clothes here, the one she was wearing was indeed the most modest.
The others either exposed the chest or the back, or showed the legs or the waist.
Seriously, do those fashion designers run out of fabric or something?
Ji Hanyu’s frustrated and exasperated look made Bai Haoxue laugh.
"Alright, you’ve seen for yourself that this one I’m wearing is the best." Bai Haoxue said, "Today is Mr. Zhuang Yan’s 50th birthday, plus there’s Miss Zhuang Yunge.
All the attention will surely be on them, who’s going to notice me?"
Bai Haoxue chuckled and said, "Besides, in your eyes, I’m a treasure, but others wouldn’t even look at me, okay? Do you really think I’m some kind of irresistible charmer?"
Ji Hanyu still sulkily held Bai Haoxue, "I don’t want you to be an irresistible charmer, don’t want others to see your beauty, you’re mine."
"Mhm, yours, yours, only yours." Bai Haoxue raised herself on tiptoe and gave him a kiss, which carried the meaning of a more intimate gesture.
"Mr. Ji, we really should get going."
Although it’s not far to the Zhuang Family from here, being late wouldn’t be good.
"Today’s banquet will have representatives from various families, they’re all here to expand their networks, who’s going to care about a stranger woman, you just overthink things."
Bai Haoxue coaxed for a long time, and Ji Hanyu finally begrudgingly allowed her to wear this to the banquet.
Because he wouldn’t allow her to wear any of the other dresses.
He wasn’t satisfied with this one either, but given the circumstances, he had no choice but to compromise.
So much so that, on the way to the Zhuang Family, Ji Hanyu was still feeling sulky.
As they were approaching the Zhuang Family, Bai Haoxue received a phone call from Zhuang Yunge to Cheng Nuo.
Bai Haoxue immediately disguised her voice to sound like Cheng Nuo, "Yunge..."
Zhuang Yunge: "Nuonuo, did you use it on Bai Haoxue?"
Bai Haoxue: "I did, I confirmed it with my own eyes. Also, I gave the cushion foundation to Bai Haoxue to carry, so she could touch up her makeup anytime, she was very grateful to me, isn’t she silly?"
She indeed prepared another cushion foundation identical to the one Zhuang Yunge gave.
Later, she even planned to touch up her makeup in front of Zhuang Yunge.
This way, Zhuang Yunge would be more reassured.
Zhuang Yunge, "Nuonuo, thank you, really, thank you. After the banquet, there will be a big gift waiting for you!"
Bai Haoxue laughed scornfully, "Yunge, no need to be so formal with me. But since I’ve received so many gifts from you, I feel a bit guilty, so I’ve also prepared a ’gift’ especially well to give to you!"
"You don’t need to be so polite, I don’t lack anything." Zhuang Yunge’s tone had already subtly changed.
In her eyes, there was more disregard and disdain.
A person like Cheng Nuo, what kind of gift could she possibly offer?
Heh... could her gift even match up to her?
This phone call was their last one.
After something happens to Bai Haoxue, if Ji Hanyu demands a thorough investigation, then... Cheng Nuo would be her scapegoat.
She had already prepared countless plans to extricate herself, clearing any connection with Cheng Nuo, and framing her, as well as substantiating the accusations of Cheng Nuo harming Bai Haoxue with disfigurement.
