The man was silent for a long mont before he slowly walked up to her. He touched her exposed shoulder and said with difficulty, “This exposed part makes it not good.”
The gown had a tube top design. Although it covered other areas well, her round shoulders were exposed.
Qiao Xi was just about to retort when Gu Zheng’s large hand tightly hugged her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
A ssy kiss fell, going down her neck as he kissed her collarbone. The numbing sensation made Qiao Xi’s body stiffen.
She kept retreating, but Gu Zheng continued to press her against the wall.
The man’s eyes were burning as he looked at her affectionately. He panted slightly and smiled. “Do you still think this gown is good?”
Qiao Xi was stunned for a mont before she suddenly reacted. She didn’t even have to look to know that there was definitely a red mark on her collarbone and shoulder at this mont. If she were to wear this gown out, then she would be too shy to see anyone.
The Li family was holding a birthday banquet. If she attended the banquet like this, they would definitely chase her out.
“Mrs. Gu, change it.” Gu Zheng planted a kiss on the corner of her lips. The kiss carried a strong sense of longing and gentleness.
Qiao Xi imdiately rushed to the mirror. These marks couldn’t be removed in a short period of ti, and it was difficult to cover them with makeup, so she could only change into a gown that didn’t reveal her shoulders.
…
The Li family’s mansion.
Today was Old Master Li’s 70th birthday. He and his wife had established their company together a few years ago. They had been conscientious all these years and were known as a long-standing couple in the circle. The couple’s relationship was very good, so they were well-respected.
After greeting so of her friends, Madam Li turned around and saw her daughter standing at the side, looking worried. She went up to comfort her, saying, “Xing’er, don’t worry.”
Li Xing’er held a jewelry box in her hands. She opened it and took a look before closing it again, still feeling a little uneasy.
“Mom, do you think Qiao Xi will forgive ?”
“Although the Qiao family was the one who made Qiao Xi take the bla that ti, it’s still a fact that I pushed her. I rember that she was in a lot of pain and her hand was injured. I’m only apologizing to her now after ten years. Will she accept it?”
There was a purple crystal bracelet in the jewelry box. It shone mysteriously under the lights, and there was a hollow pendant hanging in the middle. The craftsmanship was complicated, and one could tell that this bracelet was expensive.
Madam Li tapped her forehead lightly and rebuked, “It’s all because you were too impulsive back then and pushed her without understanding the situation. If she doesn’t forgive you, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Li Xing’er frowned. “I feel very guilty. She wasn’t the one who broke it, yet I pushed her. No matter what, I have to apologize. Besides, this gift was custom-made for her and her na is engraved on the pendant. If she doesn’t accept it, I’ll throw it away.”
At this mont, a servant rushed in. “Eldest Miss.”
“What’s wrong?”
The servant was very anxious and said while trembling in fear, “I don’t know what’s going on, but everyone is saying that you’ll be giving a present today.”
Li Xing’er was a little embarrassed. “What’s wrong with giving gifts? I’m just apologizing to Qiao Xi. There’s nothing to be ashad of!”
The servant shook her head. “No, that’s not what I ant. It’s a rumor that after the birthday party begins, the ladies of each family will put on a performance. You’ll be giving a prize to whoever’s performance is the most wonderful.”
Li Xing’er: “!!!”
‘F*ck! What f*cking nonsense is this? I’ll rip that person’s mouth off!’
Grandpa and Grandma loved lively activities, so they had prepared many musical instrunts for the various young ladies to show their talents. However, they never said that they were giving away a prize.
Moreover, her present was for Qiao Xi, and Qiao Xi’s na was engraved on it. How could she give it to soone else?
Madam Li frowned and said, “Xing’er, let’s go and see who started the rumor.”
…
In the banquet hall of the Li family’s mansion.
Yao ngqing was wearing a high-end gown. Her exquisite face and impressive figure instantly attracted the attention of many n.
At this mont, she was talking to a middle-aged man. The two of them were smiling happily.
Li Xing’er recognized this man to be a famous musician in the country.. He had composed many musical scores and was the disciple of an internationally renowned composer.
