Chapter 209: Chapter 132: No Siren Will Disturb My Dao Heart
After buying the Hermes, the next natural step was to buy an evening gown.
Qi Sheng held Tan Hua’s hand and asked casually.
"We’re going to look at gowns now. Do you have a favorite brand?"
"I don’t have any particular preference. Should we just buy any one?"
Tan Hua had worked at LV, so she knew they didn’t really have haute couture—only what could be considered regular custom-made pieces.
It was different from ready-to-wear, which anyone could put on.
The essence of haute couture lies in being "made to measure."
Only garments personally tailored for a client by a high-fashion designer in their atelier,
and produced by hand, can be called haute couture.
Haute couture carries a very high prestige in the fashion world.
Only a few brands recognized by the French Haute Couture Association are qualified to produce it.
For example, Dior, Chanel, and Valentino.
But among them, Chanel’s status as the king of haute couture is universally recognized in the fashion world.
"Let me ask first."
Qi Sheng took out his phone and found Lucy, the Chanel sales associate, on his WeChat.
He was relieved to learn that the store had haute couture gowns available to choose from.
"Let’s go. We’ll check out Chanel first."
"Okay."
A few minutes later, the two of them walked into the International Gold Center.
Outside the Chanel store, there was a long line as usual.
The sales associate, Lucy, was already waiting at the entrance.
When she saw Qi Sheng arrive, she hurried over to greet him.
"Mr. Qi, you’re here."
Then, Lucy looked at Tan Hua, who was holding Qi Sheng’s arm, and greeted her with a smile, "Ms. Tan, long time no see."
"You two know each other?"
Qi Sheng was a little curious.
"Ms. Tan is your girlfriend. There isn’t a sales associate in the International Gold Center who doesn’t know her."
"Besides, Ms. Tan is also one of my clients. I’ve always been the one to help her when she came to the store before."
Lucy recalled her colleagues, who had done the in-home service yesterday, coming back and bragging about the grand scene. She couldn’t have been more envious.
A young, wealthy man who casually spent five million on his women... she was practically drooling with desire.
She wanted to be part of this rich young master’s "impart" too.
"What a coincidence."
Qi Sheng replied with a smile, "First, take us to see your haute couture evening gowns."
"Of course. If you two would please follow me to the VIP room to rest for a moment."
Under the envious gazes of all the women waiting in line, Lucy led Qi Sheng and Tan Hua to the VIP room.
Lucy first served them some drinks and snacks before asking.
"Ms. Tan, do you have any specific requirements for the gown?"
"Nothing too extravagant. A slightly simpler style. A cocktail dress would be best; a full evening gown is too formal."
Tan Hua explained her preferences.
A "cocktail dress" is one where the hemline is near the knees.
The kind of floor-length dress that female celebrities wear would be considered an evening gown.
Attending a company’s annual party didn’t call for something so grand.
"Okay, I understand. Please wait a moment, you two."
Lucy nodded and turned to make the preparations.
In the stores of luxury brands like this, they usually only have regular-stock items.
Haute couture clothing and accessories are rarely displayed in the main store.
Only after spending a certain amount do you get to see these ’not for sale’ items.
A few minutes later, Lucy invited the two of them into a room behind the VIP lounge.
This was probably their haute couture workshop.
It was not only very private but also extremely quiet.
All around the room stood individual mannequins.
Each mannequin was dressed in an exquisite gown.
"Ms. Tan, all the cocktail dresses we have in stock are here. Please see if there’s anything you’re satisfied with."
"I’m sure that after you see these beautiful cocktail dresses, you’ll fall in love with them."
"Because they aren’t just clothes; they are elegance, and they are art."
Lucy said, pointing at the gowns, her tone soft yet proud.
"Mm, I’ll take a look first."
Tan Hua’s gaze swept over one gown after another, her eyes flickering with surprise and hesitation.
I have to say, Chanel really understands women.
Tan Hua felt that she loved every single gown.
For a moment, she felt a bit dazzled and overwhelmed.
After looking for a good few minutes, Tan Hua still couldn’t make up her mind.
The gowns in this room were all meticulously designed by Chanel’s designers.
Under the gentle lighting, every gown seemed to glitter and shine.
Tan Hua couldn’t help but bite her lip. She hesitated for a long time but still couldn’t decide.
Finally, Tan Hua tugged on Qi Sheng’s hand, acting cute.
"Honey, I really don’t know which one to pick. Why don’t you choose for me?"
Women often have trouble making decisions when buying clothes.
"Alright."
Qi Sheng smiled. "Then I’ll help you weigh the options."
Tan Hua had been behaving well these past two days, acting very much like a proper first wife.
Qi Sheng planned to reward her a little.
However, gowns weren’t everyday attire.
If he bought too many, Tan Hua would have nowhere to put them.
Having a few to wear for important occasions would be enough.
Qi Sheng’s gaze swept around.
First, it landed on a little black dress.
The upper body of this dress was made of embroidered lace, inlaid with tiny diamonds.
Under the light, it reflected a brilliant and dazzling gleam.
From the thighs down, the skirt was made of black silk.
Amidst its formality, it revealed an undeniable touch of sexiness.
The overall design was luxurious yet elegant.
It was absolutely perfect as a formal evening dress.
With Tan Hua’s figure, especially her long, straight, beautiful legs,
she would look absolutely stunning in this dress.
