Chapter 56: The Formal Dress
Song Qinghuan smiled and nodded to the salesclerk, while Song Mingxiu was as cool as ever. His eyes would only become soft when he saw and talked to Song Qinghuan.
For such an iceberg-like man, there was also a famous comment on the Internet: He is not tender to you since you are not the one he loves.
Imaginative salesclerks had regarded them as lovers.
Song Qinghuan was no longer the ignorant girl as before. After detecting such a strange expression in the salesclerk’s eyes, she slowed her pace, and found a dark grey formal suit with three pieces quickly. “Brother, I think this suit is very suitable for you.” She said in a crisp and sweet voice that was loud enough for everyone in the store to hear.
Brother??
The salesclerks thought they knew everything about the relationship between these two persons just now, but after hearing these words, they were a little confused. Then as they thought a little further, they immediately found themselves making a big mistake just now.
The surname of Kaiyue’s new president was Song, so was Song Qinghuan’s!
They were brother and sister!
With such a thought, their eyes were then filled with envy. This was a fair-skinned, rich and beautiful woman, a winner of life!
Song Mingxiu came to Song Qinghuan. The look in his eyes softened and he told his size directly to the salesclerk.
He didn’t even look at it, completely believing Song Qinghuan’s taste.
“This suit is the new one for autumn. Miss Song has a really good taste. It is well in line with the temperament of President Song.”
The salesclerk complimented him and hurried forward to take down the suit and look at the size. Then she said warmly, “This size is just right for you. Why don’t you try it?”
“Okay, thank you,” Song Mingxiu put the shopping bags in his hand on the storage table and whispered to Song Qinghuan, “Just look around and buy whatever you like. It’s on me.”
While all the others were looking at them with envy, Song Mingxiu followed the guide of the salesclerk and entered the fitting room.
When Song Mingxiu was there, the salesclerk did not dare to speak much. Since Song Mingxiu had left, the salesclerk who recognized Song Qinghuan could not help saying with a smile, “Your brother really loves you. How enviable!”
“Really?” Song Qinghuan smiled with a meaningful look, but she was obviously absent-minded when choosing the dress then. Whether in the last life or in this life, she couldn’t understand Song Mingxiu. He was selfish and heartless, but it happened that he showed some kind of sentimentality. In fact, the only thing she could be sure of was that this man loved himself most.
Finally, Song Qinghuan, on the recommendation of another salesclerk, chose an evening dress with a gradually changing color for herself.
“This is final one on sale.” The salesclerk added. Both in size and in color, it was the unique dress.
S size. It would fit very few people.
Song Qinghuan smiled and said, “I’ll take this.”
“Ok.” The salesclerk smiled and said, “This way please.”
Just after the door of fitting room was closed, two more customers arrived on this floor.
“Have you taken hormones abroad? I really doubt that. Your figure changed so quickly. What to do with the high-end dress in my aunt’s cloakroom prepared for you? What a waste!” Shen Yinian complained, but she still looked around to choose the dress for her cousin.
Over the years, even though Xu Ningzhou was abroad, the clothes in his cloakroom at home were habitually changed with the seasons.
After Xu Ningzhou returned, he went to Xiao Mingyang’s wine party only once for the sake of his friend. He had been busy and had no time for a rest in that period. This time, he had to attend the banquet, but after making such a decision, he just found that the high-end clothes in his cloakroom were all somewhat ill-fitting.
Shen Yinian immediately decided to go out and buy one for him. Of course, she would never admit that she just wanted to go shopping for herself.
Xu Ningzhou and the bodyguard behind him each carried seven or eight shopping bags. Only in front of her cousin would Shen Yinian change her image as a proud goddess.
“You still have ten minutes.” Xu Ningzhou could not bear it anymore and said decisively.
“Humph, autocratic devil king, I’m doing this for your good, because I’m training you to be a good boyfriend. Girls nowadays all like boyfriends who can go shopping with them.” Coincidentally, Shen Yinian also entered the store where Song Qinghuan was before.
Compared with the brother and sister of the Song family, it was obvious that Shen Yinian visited this store more frequently. The salesclerk immediately went forward and greeted her with a smile.
“Any new products in the store for autumn?” Shen Yinian raised her chin toward the place where Xu Ningzhou was sitting. “After going to so many stores, I still think your clothes are the most suitable for him.”
“Yes.” The salesclerk smiled and glanced at the handsome man behind Shen Yinian. He looked aloof and proud, definitely a self-restrained handsome guy.
There was a sofa in the store for guests to rest on. Xu Ningzhou sat on the sofa, lazily bent his long legs, and ignored the salesclerks who were looking this way but pretended to be not. He was unwilling to move a bit.
At the moment, Song Mingxiu, who had gone in to change clothes before, opened the fitting room door and came out.
“Mr. Song.” The salesclerk serving Song Mingxiu was impressed immediately after he came out and said, “Miss Song knows you very well, and the clothes she chose are very suitable for you.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
The salesclerk said this with great skill, praising both of them in one sentence. Song Mingxiu was even more satisfied, as he looked at the suit in the mirror. He liked what Song Qinghuan had chosen for him.
The sofa on which Xu Ningzhou rested was facing the full-length mirror, and when the salesclerk mentioned ‘Mr. Song’, out of the sensitivity to the surname ‘Song’, Xu Ningzhou looked up and cast a glance over there.
Then he immediately found he met an acquaintance.
Meanwhile, Song Mingxiu also saw Xu Ningzhou sitting on the sofa through the mirror in front of him. At first Song Mingxiu’s attention was still on the suit, and when he noticed that someone was looking at him, he turned his eyes and looked at the man a few more times. Only then did he realize it was Xu Ningzhou.
Song Mingxiu did not move forward, but nodded and said, “Hello, Mr. Xu.”
“Hi, Mr. Song.” Xu Ningzhou replied politely, with a slight smile.
They just said hello politely to each other. Then Song Mingxiu continued to adjust the corner of handkerchief that came out of his chest pocket in front of the mirror. At that moment, the fitting room door beside him was pushed open.
The salesclerk walked over and saw Song Mingxiu standing nearby. She smiled and said, “Just have a look at Miss Song’s dress, President Song.”
Xu Ningzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, and he stayed still even after hearing someone mentioned ‘Miss Song’, since he had once made a mistake by take others as Song Qinghuan.
With the help of the salesclerk, Song Qinghuan finally put on this fancy dress. She walked out of the fitting room and looked up casually. Then she saw Xu Ningzhou sitting on the sofa.
For a moment, both of them were stunned.
What surprised Song Qinghuan was that she could meet Xu Ningzhou here, while what surprised Xu Ningzhou was the appearance of Song Qinghuan at the moment.
Song Qinghuan, with fair skin and good looks essentially, became more beautiful then when set off by her black hair pulled up high and the dress on her body. The gauze embroidery style was delicate and the lace gave a sense of gentleness. There was a pair of semitransparent long sleeves and a skirt hemline with multi-layer gauze design which could highlight the wearer’s height.
Under the overhead lights, Song Qinghuan’s whole figure impressed everyone. The three-dimensional embroidery in the front of the dress was exquisite and beautiful, highlighting the beauty of her attractive collarbone below her slender swan-like neck, and making her figure extremely eye-catching on the whole.
Song Qinghuan showed a faint smile, looking elegant and graceful. She was just like a fairy and immediately fascinated Xu Ningzhou and all the other people there.
