"How about it?"
"…Not that great."
"Hmm?" Shi Wan was puzzled. "Isn't it nice?"
Why did she think it was quite nice?
The man had come up to her at some point. Seeing her bare smooth and fair shoulders, he reached out to pull the dress up.
It was no use.
"Not good. Change into another one."
"Really? I'll go and check."
There was no mirror in the office, but there was one in the lounge.
"It's really not good. If you don't believe me, call them in and ask."
Shen Siyan grabbed her hand and called someone in.
Several people came in and saw Shi Wan. They were all a bit stunned on the spot.
This was... just too nice!
"Isn't this dress not that great?"
"Huh?"
Hearing the man's words, these people felt a bit conflicted.
To be honest, this dress was really nice. Especially when Shi Wan was wearing it, she was simply the center of attention.
There was a word for it... innocent yet sexy!
She was really both innocent and sexy, and a bit charming on top of that.
But she didn't look slutty. Instead, she seemed like a little princess from some royal family.
It was rare to see someone who could blend these qualities together without being obtrusive.
"Really not good?"
"Ah... What answer do you want to hear?"
Wenren Jin glanced at the man who was constantly winking at him. He was a bit unsure.
"Nice is nice, not nice is not nice."
"Not... not nice?"
"See, darling? I said it wasn't good."
"Then I'll go and change into another one."
The others: "......"
So the big boss wanted to hear this answer.
"Take this one. It seems quite suitable."
Shen Siyan picked out a relatively conservative off - white long dress.
"Brother, you're being a bit petty."
Wenren Jin scoffed.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Shen Siyan gave him a sidelong glance. "Oh right, I forgot. I'll just talk to the HR later."
Wenren Jin: "....."
"I've helped you with so many things. Isn't that enough to atone for my sins?"
He hooked his lips. "So am I petty?"
"......No, I'm the petty one."
Wenren Jin cursed in his heart.
If he wasn't afraid of actually getting fired, he would definitely show this man a mirror to let him see his ugly face.
The dress was clearly very nice, but he just led the way in saying it wasn't because he was jealous.
Shi Wan changed into the off - white dress. Shen Siyan was satisfied. Well, nothing was exposed.
"This one is nice."
"Really? I thought the one just now..."
"Little Madam, you look so suitable in this dress."
Having had the experience just now, everyone present praised her one after another.
However, the praise was sincere.
She really did look nice. It wasn't just a casual compliment.
Now she looked very ethereal and gentle.
"Then I'll wear this one."
"Do Little Madam's hair."
"Here?"
The stylists looked at each other. They thought they would at least do it outside. Who would have thought it would be in the office...
"Yes, do it right here."
"Okay."
After some styling, a successful look was perfectly created. Actually, they didn't do much. With Shi Wan's looks, even if she had a crazy hairstyle, she would still look nice.
"Let's go out."
Shen Siyan came back to his senses.
Wenren Jin glanced at him and whispered, "Restrain yourself. It took so much effort to do this."
Shen Siyan raised his eyebrows. "Want to die?"
Wenren Jin led the others away.
Shi Wan walked up to him, looking up. "So, were you jealous just now?"
He took the opportunity to kiss her and chuckled. "Really? It was really not nice."
He held her with one hand, preventing her from leaving.
"Don't move. My hand is still not healed."
Shi Wan really didn't move. "Don't mess up my lipstick."
"I'll re - apply it for you."
He got close to her ambiguously and mumbled.
After a while, he picked up the lipstick and made a few gestures on her lips.
"You look better without it."
Shi Wan gave him a disdainful look and checked with her phone. It was really true.
The lipstick was gone, and her lips were really swollen.
"I told you not to mess around, but you insisted..."
"Um... Then I'll wipe it for you."
As he said that, he really started to wipe her lips a few times.
"It looks great. Take a look."
Shi Wan was too lazy to do it again. "Change clothes and let's go. It's almost time to start."
"Aren't you going to help me change? My hand..."
Shi Wan looked at the man's deliberately innocent expression. "I'll help."
He was just looking for an excuse.
"It's okay, darling. When my hand gets better later, I'll change your clothes for you. I can do it every day."
"Shut up."
Shi Wan really wanted to punch him. He was just taking advantage of the situation.
When they arrived, the birthday party had already started.
Shi Qing, who hadn't seen Shi Wan and Shen Siyan all this time, was a bit anxious. "Mom, are you sure you really invited her? Will she not come?"
"Don't worry. Mom is sure she'll come."
Li Zhaofeng was just comforting her when she suddenly noticed that the situation around seemed a bit different. All the people's gazes were focused on one place.
She looked over and saw Shi Wan walking in on Shen Siyan's arm. A handsome man and a beautiful woman, and their identities were not simple. No wonder they attracted so many people's attention as soon as they came in.
However, Shi Qing clenched her fists. "Mom, what is Shi Wan trying to do by dressing so nicely at my birthday party? Is she trying to steal my thunder?"
"This... Shi Wan really might be doing that."
As soon as Li Zhaofeng finished speaking, Shi Qing strode towards the two of them and said coldly, "Shi Wan, you really seize every opportunity to show off. You're so presumptuous even at my birthday party. What do you mean by wearing this dress?"
The dress she was wearing was already the best the Shi family could offer, but the unit price of Shi Wan's dress could be worth several of hers.
The Shi family was still in its glory, and she might not even be able to afford this dress.
"Is there a problem with this dress?"
"You..."
"Shi Wan, this is Qing'er's birthday party. Wearing such an expensive dress is like outshining her. Aren't you deliberately stealing her thunder?"
"Madam Shi misunderstood." Before Shi Wan could say anything, Shen Siyan said calmly, "This is the cheapest dress of our darling. We didn't know when we wore it before... We didn't pay much attention."
The two of them immediately turned ashen.
The cheapest dress was something they could never afford.
Wasn't this an insult?
The people around also heard Shen Siyan's words. Although he was considered a good - for - nothing, he was still the old master's most beloved grandson. It was normal for him to wear such a dress.
But as for Shi Qing...
"Forget it. Don't argue with her. We'll just make a fool of ourselves."
Noticing the gazes of others, Li Zhaofeng pulled Shi Qing back.
"Good - for - nothing!"
Shi Qing glared at the two of them and cursed in a low voice.
Shi Wan raised her eyebrows. Good - for - nothing?
She really didn't learn her lesson.
Shen Siyan pursed his lips. The next second, his hand was softly held by the woman. "It's okay. Darling will avenge you later."
".....Okay."
He wasn't afraid of what others said about him. He just felt sorry for his darling who had no one to rely on in the Shi family.
Just as Guo Xianhe had said, there were many well - known people at this birthday party. After others heard about it, they also rushed to the scene one after another.
It was a grand occasion.
Shi Qing stood beside Guo Xianhe, looking very proud. But when facing other well - known people, she was modest and leisurely. She had completely two different faces.
