Chapter 472: Uneasy
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shi Man was not used to someone fiddling with her hair at close range. The moment the stylist’s hand touched her hair, she reflexively twisted her wrist.
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts. Missy, don’t be nervous. 1 don’t mean any harm!” The man in the vertical striped shirt begged her with a bitter expression.
Strangely, Shi Man was clearly twisting his wrist, but he was struggling to twist his waist as he cried out in pain. His voice was also a little feminine.
“I’m sorry.” Shi Man retracted her hand apologetically. Because she had done it out of reflex just now, she couldn’t control her strength.
If not for the stylist begging for mercy quickly, his wrist would have been dislocated.
However, even though Shi Man restrained her strength in time, red finger marks still landed on the man’s fair hand.
He rubbed his aching bones aggrievedly. This time, he did not dare to act rashly. After carefully obtaining Shi Man’s permission, he tentatively placed his fingers on her hair.
Seeing that she didn’t have such a big reaction just now, the stylist heaved a sigh of relief. He hummed a tune and continued to style her hair happily.
Shen Xian sat beside her. Today was the first engagement party she attended as a mother. She was so happy that she could not close her mouth.
To be honest, her other sons were not young anymore and were still single. This made her inexperienced this time and she was a little nervous.
She had specially selected the styling team in advance so that she could dress up beautifully today.
The stylist’s hands seemed to be magical. In less than a few hours, he dressed the two of them so exquisitely that people could not take their eyes off them.
Shi Man’s appearance had many of Shen Xian’s attractive features. Her small face had a pair of sparkling eyes, and she was so beautiful that she did not seem real. Now that she had changed her makeup and hairstyle, her already three-dimensional and exquisite facial features became even more beautiful.
If not for the fact that she always exuded a faint dignity, the stylist really wanted to give her a big hug on the spot and admire the princess he had personally created.
After the two of them finished styling, it was almost noon.
Shi Man only glanced at herself in the mirror and calmly shifted her gaze to the stairs. “Why aren’t Father and Brother seeing anyone? It’s already this time. If they’re not awake yet, I’m afraid it’ll be too late to get ready.”
Unexpectedly, Shen Xian pursed her lips and smiled. She teased mysteriously, “How can your brothers and your father sleep?! They went to your engagement event location to patrol early in the morning. They were afraid something will happen later!”
Shi Man’s engagement this time was divided into two steps. First, she invited the guests to the engagement ceremony. After everyone was there, she moved to the event location.
The engagement venue was set at the largest hotel under the Yi family. For this, that hotel had been closed for nearly a month to prepare for this engagement ceremony.
It had to be said that other than her, the female lead, everyone else in the engagement was quite attentive.
Someone stood silently behind her. Shi Man frowned and turned around. When she saw that it was Shen Xian, she relaxed. “Mom, what’s wrong?”
“Mom doesn’t think you’re happy? Are you dissatisfied with the arrangements?” She actually wanted to ask if Shi Man had any opinions about Yi Zheng, but she swallowed her words.
She could tell that Shi Man liked Yi Zheng, but she was frowning today and did not look like a bride-to-be who was about to get engaged.
Shi Man shook her head helplessly, telling her mother not to think too much.
Actually, ever since she woke up this morning, she had been unable to feel at ease.
Jun Mo and Cheng Zhen’s transaction was set for tonight. The venue was an old building thousands of miles away from the engagement hotel. However, she still felt uneasy. She felt that something bad was about to happen and would make her regret it.
Shen Xian thought that she was nervous. She comforted her softly and brought her to change into the gown that had been customized in advance.
The two of them were about to go out when Yi Zheng’s car arrived. He got out of the car and was wearing a well-tailored suit.
Shi Man saw that the light in his eyes was bright enough to dazzle her, so she looked away unnaturally. “Why are you here? Didn’t we agree to meet at the hotel?”
“But 1 can’t wait anymore.” Yi Zheng naturally held her hand. Only when he brought her by his side would he feel fulfilled and at ease. Otherwise, he would always feel empty and uncomfortable.
Shen Xian chuckled and teased Yi Zheng. She smiled and pushed the two of them into the car. “I won’t sit with you. Sorry to disturb you. My husband is here to pick me up!”
She pointed at the car around the corner behind her, her eyes narrowed into slits of joy.
After being married for so many years, even her daughter was old enough to be engaged, but she was still doted on by Shi Zhong like a little girl..
