Chapter 1410: Chapter 1209: Her Dressed-up Appearance_1 Chapter 1410: Chapter 1209: Her Dressed-up Appearance_1 In the following days, while Tong Sanlang devoted himself to healing his injuries, he looked for opportunities to explain himself to Qiao Xiaomai. However, she intentionally avoided him, and he couldn’t find a single chance to speak.
Every day, she was within his line of sight, and at night, they even shared the sa bed to sleep, yet she wore an invisible shroud of apathy that felt distant.
He and she were worlds apart.
On this day, the reinforcents sent by Yang Wenxiao finally arrived. The arriving troops needed rest after their long journey, and the original soldiers needed rest as well. The combined forces, amounting to seventy thousand n, rged, increasing the complexity of matters.
Qiao Xiaomai, being unskilled in martial arts, couldn’t manage Tianlong Gang’s affairs, but she was in charge of the food and drink for seventy thousand people. Although the Guard Team assisted her, she remained as busy as a top every day.
Accompanying the army’s arrival were the jewelry and clothes that Yang Wenxiao had rewarded her with.
These pieces of jewelry and clothing ca from Yang Wenxiao’s private collection, every item a gem, and Yang Wenxiao had made it clear that these had to be worn. Knowing Qiao Xiaomai’s simplicity, he had specifically issued this order.
No one dared disobey Yang Wenxiao’s commands.
Qiao Xiaomai donned the luxurious clothes and exquisite jewelry, and to complent these, she even applied makeup.
Though she did the rough work of a cook, she dressed each day as if she were a princess, and the fine clothes and jewelry inevitably got tainted with the unpleasant sll of cooking fus.
But Qiao Xiaomai didn’t mind.
She used to live too roughly, like a man, without a touch of femininity. This was unacceptable.
A woman should look like a woman, with clothes, jewelry, and makeup—none should be missing.
Beauty wasn’t just for others to admire but for herself as well.
She was naturally alluring, and while she used to suppress this quality by presenting herself plainly, now that she dressed up, even minimal makeup revealed her inherent charm. Although she was just looking at others normally, people felt as if her glances were flirtatious.
Take Yang Ye, for example, who couldn’t get used to the grandly dressed Qiao Xiaomai even after a whole day.
He had given up on Qiao Xiaomai before, but now that she was casting alluring glances at him, it was unfair!
During dinner, he felt compelled to suggest that such attire was mismatched with her current duties and, frankly, was quite inappropriate.
She had to change.
Upon hearing his words, Qiao Xiaomai shot him a sideways glance. Viewing a beauty by candlelight would naturally add a soft filter, and with Qiao Xiaomai’s sultry looks, such a glance, reflecting the candle’s glow in her peach blossom-shaped eyes, seed to be radiant.
Like twinkling stars winking, it was spellbinding!
Yang Ye was startled and quickly lowered his head.
Terrifying!
How terrifying!
His heart was supposed to be as still as water!
Bei Lingsu, sitting to one side, watched this scene unfold and imdiately began to giggle. Her eyes rolled around a few tis as she spoke, “Your Highness, don’t you think Xiaomai’s guards have not been very effective in carrying out the imperial command?”
“Hmm?” Yang Ye, still caught up in the afterglow of astonishnt, responded absently.
“I an, the retired emperor sent two hundred n for Xiaomai to choose from, but Xiaomai is busy and doesn’t have ti to select carefully. Therefore, I think we should encourage these two hundred n to actively pursue Xiaomai and see who can win her favor,” Bei Lingsu said to Yang Ye, but her sidelong glances rested on Tong Sanlang.
It had been so ti since she unexpectedly encountered Tong Sanlang that night, yet the relationship between those two was still at a standstill.
No, a little excitent was needed.
