Chapter 135: Dress Up
Cheng Ling put on the dress and looked at herself in the mirror. The girl in the mirror had long hair and was fair. Although she didn’t put on makeup, her face had a healthy red luster like a blush.
Cheng Ling thought for a mont, then opened the third drawer of the desk and took out a lipstick.
This lipstick was the birthday present Xie Ying gave her last year. Other than Cheng Ling applying it on her birthday, she had never applied it anymore.
Cheng Ling was worried that it was too deliberate, so she only applied a thin layer to make her lips a little red. The girl in the mirror looked even more beautiful and charming now.
At this mont, she rembered sothing important. She didn’t have suitable shoes to match this dress.
She usually wore flats.
Just as she was distressed, soone knocked on the door again.
She opened the door and saw Xie Ying standing at the door. She was carrying another bag in her hands.
“Ling Ling, this was brought over by a bodyguard of the Lu family’s second young master. He said it was for you.”
It was for her again?
Cheng Ling opened it on the spot and found a pair of shoes that she desperately needed. This pair of shoes seed to match this dress. It was also black and white, with little high heels. Cheng Ling would not feel uncomfortable after wearing it.
Xie Ying had long been aware that Cheng Ling was pretty, but it was just that she did not dress up often before. Now that she dressed up, people could not take their eyes off her.
After changing her shoes, Cheng Ling looked at Xie Ying. She found the corners of Xie Ying’s eyes were glistening with tears.
She quickly walked over. “Grandma, What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
Xie Ying quickly shook her head.
“No, I’m just happy to see my Ling Ling grow up and beco such a beautiful girl.”
She stroked Cheng Ling’s long hair as she spoke.
“Grandma doesn’t have money, so I can’t give you good living conditions. It’s been hard on you. If I could buy you so nice clothes more often…”
At this mont, Cheng Ling interrupted Xie Ying.
“Grandma, you’re doing it again! Why do you say this every year? Haven’t I said it many tis? I don’t need money, I just want to be with you.”
Seeing that Cheng Ling was so sensible, Xie Ying couldn’t stop her tears.
Cheng Ling raised her hand to help Xie Ying wipe away her tears.
“Okay, Grandma, don’t cry. Didn’t you say that we have to leave quickly? Otherwise, we’ll be late.”
Speaking of this, Xie Ying stopped her tears and put on an anxious look.
“Yes, yes, yes, we have to leave quickly.”
Cheng Ling couldn’t help but laugh when she saw how fast Xie Ying’s expression changed.
As the shoe heels were a little high, Cheng Ling was very careful when she went down the stairs. She walked a little slower.
Half an hour ago, she didn’t care about her clothes at all. But now, after putting on this dress, she actually wondered if she should put on makeup? And was her hair done?
However, she didn’t have ti to think. When she opened the door, she found Lu Qi and Lu Xiu standing outside.
It was already about seven o’clock. The sky wasn’t completely dark yet. Instead, with a faint cyan color, a crescent moon had appeared.
Lu Qi and Lu Xiu were both wearing formal clothes today because they were going to attend a banquet.
Cheng Ling realized that she was already used to Lu Xiu wearing formal attire, but this was the first ti she saw Lu Qi in formal attire.
Perhaps it was because Lu Qi had been recovering well, his lips no longer looked pale. Instead, they had a tinge of blood. His skin was also fair with a tinge of red. His appearance was even more attractive now.
He and Lu Xiu stood outside Cheng Ling’s door chatting, but it made people unable to shift their gazes away.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two of them turned their heads simultaneously. Cheng Ling’s eyes t Lu Qi’s.
Since Saturday, when Jiang Xing made fun of the two of them, Cheng Ling had never been alone with Lu Qi.
She thought that the next ti they t, it would be a little awkward. But she didn’t expect that other than a little shyness, she didn’t have any other emotions.
Seeing Cheng Ling’ in the dress, Lu Qi didn’t hide the surprise in his eyes. He smiled slightly and walked forward.
Lu Xiu followed behind him.
Just as Lu Qi was about to praise Cheng Ling, Lu Xiu opened his mouth and imdiately disrupted the atmosphere.
“Miss Cheng, I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful. I wonder which pig will be able to steal you, the cabbage, in the future.”
Lu Qi, Cheng Ling, and Xie Ying, “…”
Everyone present was silent for a few seconds.
Lu Qi turned around and gave Lu Xiu a look. “So you’re calling a pig?”
Lu Xiu quickly replied with a look, “Of course not, I’m just saying it casually!”
