Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Peirong was surprised to see Zi Yi and Zi Lian co back empty-handed, when they returned to the hotel. “Didn’t you buy anything?”
Zi Lian was in a bad mood, so she replied patronizingly, “Aunt Peirong, she didn’t find anything she liked, so we ca back after doing so window shopping.”
The mont she finished her sentence, she added, “I am a little tired, so I am going to rest.”
She headed back to her room when she was done talking.
Li Peirong could tell that Zi Lian was patronizing her, so she felt worried and had an ominous feeling about this.
She probed Zi Yi. “Where did you go today?”
“Window-shopping,” replied Zi Yi before heading back to her room.
Li Peirong did not keep her. She frowned from behind as she watched Zi Yi leave.
After Zi Yi closed the door, she knocked on Zi Lian’s door.
Zi Xu had gone out earlier in the morning and he happily asked Li Peirong, when he got back in the afternoon, “Where is Yiyi?”
“She’s in her room.” Li Peirong saw his expression and felt surprised, so she nervously asked, “What happened?”
“Call her over. The He family called . Madam He wants us to bring her over and see her tonight.”
Li Peirong was caught by surprise. She did not expect Madam He to summon Zi Yi so quickly.
Zi Lian happened to walk over when Zi Yi ca out.
Zi Xu happily said to her, “Yiyi, get yourself dressed up. We are having dinner with Madam He tonight.”
He said to Li Peirong worriedly, “Help her with her makeup. The butler said that Madam He doesn’t like it when won put on thick makeup and also get her to tone down her dress style.”
He stood up and headed out of the room. “I am going to get a gift.”
Li Peirong watched Zi Yi as Zi Xu hurriedly walked away. She pondered in her heart how best to make Zi Yi leave a bad impression on Madam He. She then smiled and said, “Let help you with your makeup.”
She turned to look at Zi Lian. “You are coming along with us as well, so you have to get dressed.”
“Okay.”
After Zi Lian went back to her room, Zi Yi said, “I will do my own makeup.”
She headed back to her room.
Li Peirong was worried, so she followed behind her.
After Zi Yi went back into her room, she continued using the tablet.
Li Peirong asked, “Aren’t you going to do your makeup?”
Zi Yi did not look up. “Didn’t Dad say Madam He doesn’t like won who wear thick makeup? Since I am already pretty without makeup, it doesn’t matter if I don’t put on any.”
This suited Li Peirong’s plans well, but she attempted to sound concerned about the potential marriage and said, “I think that’s a bad idea.”
“It’s perfectly fine.”
Zi Yi was determined and kept using the tablet with no intention of putting on makeup.
Li Peirong assud she was playing video gas. She forced the smile on her face down and asked, “What do you plan on wearing?”
Zi Yi replied, “The white outfit with ruffles.”
It was a pantsuit.
“Aren’t you going to wear a dress?”
“Nope.”
Li Peirong finally left the room in satisfaction to tell Zi Lian to doll up.
She was not going to remind Zi Yi that it was deed rude to go without makeup, especially when they were visiting an elder.
Zi Xu ca back with a gift. He frowned when he saw Zi Yi walking out of her room, when they were preparing to leave.
“Why are you wearing that?”
He could not tell that Zi Yi was barefaced.
However, he felt that girls looked the best in dresses. “Go put on a dress.”
