The next day, as soon as Lu Xue got out of bed, she saw Mu Ziyue waiting at her door with a box of potato chips in her hand, munching away.
Lu Xue was startled and rubbed her fluffy, uncombed hair.
"What are you doing here so early in the morning?"
The moment Mu Ziyue saw Lu Xue get up, she perked up immediately.
"Come on, come on. Hurry up and change your clothes. I'm taking you out to play today!"
Lu Xue raised her eyebrows. Before she could figure out what Mu Ziyue meant, she was dragged all the way downstairs and to the dining table for breakfast.
After breakfast, Mu Ziyue kept urging Lu Xue to change her clothes and shoes quickly and get out.
Lu Xue, utterly confused, got herself sorted out and was then taken out of the door by Mu Ziyue.
"I've thought it through. The reason why there's been no progress between you and my brother for so long is that you lack femininity!"
After reaching this conclusion on her own, Mu Ziyue nodded, convinced that what she said made perfect sense.
She stuffed Lu Xue into the passenger seat of her car, then walked around to the driver's seat. She took off her high - heels and rummaged through the trunk. Finally, she found a pair of sports shoes suitable for driving.
"Today we're going shopping. I'll teach you how a high - society socialite spends a normal day!"
Mu Ziyue stepped on the accelerator and drove the car into the bustling downtown area. She led Lu Xue openly into a high - end shopping mall there.
Lu Xue looked at the dazzling array of goods expressionlessly.
She didn't understand why Mu Ziyue had suddenly dragged her here to shop, nor did she see what was so great about this shopping area.
Mu Ziyue walked in front. When she looked back and saw the confused look on Lu Xue's face, she sighed. She thought that teaching Lu Xue how to dress herself would be a daunting task.
"Come on. I'll first take you to pick out a suitable outfit. I'm a VIP member of all the luxury brands in this area. I can get discounts and even buy limited - edition products. You're in good hands today!"
She led Lu Xue into a women's clothing store. She sat down on the sofa in the reception area on her own, then tossed her card onto the coffee table in front of her. She crossed her legs gracefully and said,
"Help this young lady dress up from head to toe. I'll cover all the expenses today."
The sales assistants here all knew Mu Ziyue and regarded her as a big spender. When they saw her come in today, they couldn't be more enthusiastic. In an instant, more than a dozen saleswomen swarmed in from all directions.
Each of them eagerly introduced themselves to Lu Xue. In no time, Lu Xue was surrounded tightly by them.
Before Lu Xue could even come to her senses, she was pushed into the fitting room by the saleswomen with their pungent perfume.
Somehow, there were already more than a dozen brand - new dresses of the season that the saleswomen had picked out for her in her hands.
Mu Ziyue shouted from outside, "Lu Xue, you have to try on all these clothes. We'll pick out the most suitable ones for you. Hurry up. We've got a lot to do later. Don't dawdle."
Lu Xue looked at the pile of clothes in her hands, let out a deep sigh, and closed her eyes as she reluctantly started to change.
Ten minutes later, she put on the first dress. Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt so awkward.
The saleswomen outside had urged her several times. Finally, they managed to pull Lu Xue out of the fitting room.
When Lu Xue lifted the curtain and came out, she looked extremely uncomfortable. She felt that her arms and legs were all in the wrong place and everything about her seemed strange.
Previously, she always dressed simply and modestly because paint would always get on her clothes when she was painting. No nice clothes could last long on her.
So all the clothes she asked Han Xiaolv to pick out for her were student shirts in dark colors like black, white, and gray.
Moreover, Lu Xue had lived in seclusion in a small village for a long time and rarely showed up in public. There was no need for her to dress up grandly.
Having gotten used to simple outfits, she felt very awkward standing in front of the mirror for a while after suddenly being put into such a gorgeous dress.
But the saleswomen's eyes lit up immediately. They heaped praises on Lu Xue, surrounding her and complimenting her non - stop.
"Miss Lu, you're so beautiful! You didn't seem very outstanding at first, but as soon as you put on this dress, you're just dazzling! If you go out like this, I'm sure everyone's eyes will be glued to you!"
Lu Xue looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a one - shoulder A - line dress with a big flared skirt that reached just below her knees. On her feet were a pair of crystal - strapped sandals.
This outfit made her lips look red, teeth white, legs shapely, and her skin glowed with a faint pearly sheen.
When Lu Xue lifted the curtain and came out, Mu Ziyue's eyes also brightened. She even forgot to maintain her elegant socialite image on the sofa.
