After finishing breakfast, Shen Yulin had something to attend to at the company, leaving me alone at Chengyuan. He drove off to work, promising he would return early to keep me company. The entire villa was empty except for me, and Aunt Chen was also on leave, making it incredibly boring. Due to last night's craziness, I lay back in bed before lunchtime and dozed off.
I don't know how long I slept, but my phone rang, startling me awake. I sat up abruptly, only to feel a painful ache in my lower body that made me fall back onto the bed, grimacing in pain. I reached for my phone on the bedside table; it was Zhang Yun calling. "Happy birthday, babe! Did you have fun last night?"
"What do you mean?" I pretended to be calm.
"Stop pretending! The sea breeze told me this morning that Mr. Shen couldn't stop smiling at the company; he was grinning at everyone, and the employees were terrified."
I felt my face flush with embarrassment. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"You two are together now, right? How is it? Does he have a good body? Did you go all night?"
"Don't ask!"
"Are you shy? I was like that the first time too; you'll get used to it. Those two dog men are probably the same kind of scoundrels." I didn't know how to respond to Zhang Yun's comment. "There's a banquet at Haifeng's place tonight. Mr. Shen said to invite you as his date. He's in a meeting with Haifeng right now and asked me to tell you that I'll pick you up in half an hour so we can try on dresses."
"A banquet?"
"Yes, it's Haifeng's brother's engagement party." After hanging up the phone, I sighed. I really didn't want to attend a banquet on my birthday.
Silently getting out of bed, I went into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror, feeling a chill run down my spine—this was bad. My neck and collarbone were covered in splotchy red marks. Shen Yulin! Are you a dog? You jerk! I cursed him under my breath and hurriedly grabbed some concealer, applying it carefully while turning in front of the mirror several times until I was sure the marks were hidden before finally relaxing and changing clothes. If Zhang Yun saw those marks, she would definitely tease me for a long time.
(At the company meeting, Shen Yulin suddenly sneezed. What? Who's cursing me? Cheng Haifeng looked confused. "Mr. Shen, are you coming down with a cold?" "What do you know?")
Half an hour later, I heard a car honking outside the villa; it was Zhang Yun arriving. I put on my shoes, closed the door, and got into the car. She looked me up and down. "Babe, how much concealer did you put on?"
"What?"
"I can smell all that concealer on you, haha." I shot her an annoyed glance. "Let's go."
"Alright! Let's hit the road!" The car started moving.
When we arrived at the mall, I followed Zhang Yun inside and immediately recognized it as Moon Twilight; I couldn't help but smile—there would be good tea to enjoy again. As we entered Twilight, Kris greeted us with his usual warmth. This was my third time entering that room; the only difference today was that we were accompanied by a stylist and a makeup artist.
This time Kris prepared a low-key yet luxurious black dress for me—conservative yet elegant—with a high collar design that left no skin exposed around my neck. The wide sleeves flowed gracefully down my sides, and the skirt swayed gently; under the lights, my well-proportioned figure was fully displayed. Zhang Yun slipped a black velvet gift box through the door crack; Kris took it and opened it to reveal a pearl necklace and matching pearl earrings.
"So beautiful," I exclaimed as my eyes lit up.
"The boss specially sent someone to France to get these," Kris said with a sly look at me. "Absolutely perfect!"
I stood up and looked at myself in the full-length mirror; four words came to mind: transformed beyond recognition. The black dress made my skin appear even fairer, and with an exquisite makeup look paired with an Audrey Hepburn-inspired hairstyle, I looked flawless.
Zhang Yun had also changed into a dress; unlike mine, she chose a white mini dress with a strapless design complemented by a tassel necklace and red high heels—sweet yet spicy, stunning beyond words. I had to admit that Kris truly had an eye for fashion.
