Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself-Chapter 855 - 865: A Pleasant Surprise
"You’re doubting Lu Yi’s abilities? Don’t worry, with me around, no one will dare underestimate you. I’ll back you up at the business banquet, which is more focused on commercial exchange and won’t have too many female attendees. Besides, as the Young Master of the Lu Family, I naturally have my capabilities."
"Come on, Xiao Xiao, just go, pretend you’re keeping me company," An Ran genuinely hoped Xiao Xiao would attend. Whether or not she becomes Lu Yi’s date, at least she’d have company herself.
Xiao Xiao couldn’t say no to the two of them and had to give in, "Alright, alright, I’ll go, okay? But as agreed, I’m only going to have fun with Ranran, not to be anyone’s date."
She didn’t want to get tangled up in any troubles.
"Fine, suit yourself, just hurry and eat, the dishes are getting cold," Lu Yi said with a gentle smile, his eyes sparkling, indicating the surprises from his father at this banquet wouldn’t disappoint.
Saturday brought rare good weather. The banquet was in the evening, and the two girls spent the entire day shopping, returning to Longteng Xinyuan in the afternoon.
Mu Xingfeng wasn’t home, and An Ran seldom went back to the villa. Earlier that day, she already had Fang Hui fetch from the villa the dress she planned to wear.
Having attended several evening gatherings, An Ran had become quite adept at managing her outfits.
The off-shoulder black mini dress beautifully showcased her rounded shoulders. An Ran’s fair skin made the black dress appear even more radiant, like snow.
Her hair was styled into a bun, which made her slightly baby-fat face look even more adorable.
She applied a light makeup, and looking in the mirror, An Ran smacked her lips with satisfaction. They say women dress up to please those they admire, but with Instructor Mu absent, even dressing up seemed less enjoyable.
"Oh my gosh, Ranran, is my dress too revealing?" Xiao Xiao emerged from the bathroom in a silver V-neck dress, hands tugging at the straps in an effort to cover her front.
An Ran’s eyes lit up.
This dress was a custom piece gifted by her elder sister. Due to its design, she had previously joked that her sister was using Xiao Xiao’s figure to choose the dress for her.
The gown had a deep V mermaid design with silver sequins, making it eye-catching on the wearer, though the deep V demanded a fabulous figure.
Xiao Xiao’s petite build left her without the courage to try it.
When asking Su Jin to fetch her dress earlier, this piece instantly came to mind.
Xiao Xiao had a great figure but was usually conservative, preferring oversized clothing that hid her curves.
"Stop tugging. Want me to fetch a safety pin for you?" An Ran reached over to pull Xiao Xiao’s arms away, clicking her tongue in admiration. "What a shame! Brother Yang isn’t here today; if he saw you in this, would he still dare claim you’re not womanly?"
"Why bring him up out of nowhere? What has my appearance got to do with him?" Xiao Xiao protested, but stopped fiddling with her dress and twirled in front of the mirror to admire her outfit.
Indeed, the dress An Ran picked, albeit revealing, superbly showcased her figure and boosted her confidence.
An Ran pretended not to notice her subtle satisfaction, beckoning her over, "Come here, I’ll do your hair."
She styled Xiao Xiao’s hair, complemented it with a couple of accessories, applied some light makeup, and then the two of them gorgeously headed out...
