Chapter 38 Purple Cheongsam
Just as he was thinking about it, a message came from his mobile phone. It was Qiu Xichen.
"I'm downstairs."
Shi Yue was slightly stunned. She looked out the window and saw the familiar Bentley parked on the roadside downstairs.
He usually picked her up in person because he had important matters. Shi Yue thought about it and asked Pan Xiaoya to take someone to the restaurant first, then she wouldn't go.
After everyone in the company had almost left, Shi Yue went downstairs.
When Qiu Xichen saw her getting into the car, he put down what he was doing, looked at her dress today, and said, "I heard that Shi's sales are good this quarter, so I have prepared a surprise for you."
Surprise? Shi Yue thought of the bouquet of flowers. Could there be any other surprises? She was more surprised than happy.
"Actually, I don't need any surprises." She really didn't like the bouquet Qiu Xichensong brought.
Qiu Xichen seemed to have not heard this and said to himself: "I'll go change my clothes later, and then go to Zhuocheng."
Shi Yue's face was full of astonishment. Zhuocheng is a famous hotel in Kyoto and is often used as a place to hold banquets. She only thought of one possibility: "I want to accompany you to some entertainment?"
Qiu Xi thought for a moment, then chuckled and said, "So be it."
In this way, Shi Yue was relieved. As the young lady of the Qiu family, these are her obligations.
She was taken to a private styling shop. After finishing the styling, she saw someone take out a black velvet gift box and place it in front of her.
The waiter smiled and said: "This is the dress you are going to wear tonight, madam. Please open it yourself."
Is it some kind of precious dress?
Shi Yue looked at Qiu Xichen who was sitting on the sofa. He was talking on the phone and didn't notice him.
Shi Yue opened the gift box first, and saw that the clothes inside looked very familiar. An idea arose in her heart, and she took out the clothes. It was indeed the cheongsam she designed.
The purple color gradually becomes lighter from top to bottom, and the mysterious and noble color makes her fair skin even better.
Qiu Xichen just hung up the phone and came over when he saw it: "How is it? I thought this cheongsam was a good style, so I found it and tried it on."
According to his ability, it was not difficult to get clothes for the international competition. Shi Yue stared at him closely, but couldn't get any information.
"Why did you think of choosing this cheongsam?" Shi Yue asked tentatively.
Qiu Xichen looked calm, not seeing any flaws, and said with a smile: "I just feel that I am taking advantage of your temperament. Are you not satisfied?"
It seems that he really doesn't know that he is the designer of this cheongsam.
Shi Yue entered the fitting room and changed into clothes. They fit just right and did not require too many adjustments.
She looked at herself in the mirror, feeling a little dazed. Her eyebrows were lightly swept, like clouds and mist. Then she put on the matching white jade-of-the-valley placket, and her bright face made people unable to take their eyes away.
The waiter on the side couldn't help but exclaimed: "Young madam, this cheongsam is really suitable for you."
Qiu Xichen's eyes were also filled with satisfaction: "It seems that my taste is pretty good."
His eyes fell on her bright wrist, which was empty. Qiu Xichen took out a prepared bead string and put it on. The transparent amethyst made her wrist even slender.
Shi Yue was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took off the bracelet: "I can't accept such an expensive gift."
But Qiu Xichen forced her to put it on and stopped her movements with his hands: "This is not expensive. It goes well with your cheongsam. Put it on. It's getting late, we should go there."
Shi Yue couldn't refuse and could only continue to wear it. The cold touch reminded her that whether it was flowers or this, could it be Qiu Xichen's gesture?
When we arrived at Zhuocheng, there were already countless guests in the banquet hall. Mr. Qiu was also wearing a Tang suit, looking energetic and conversing with people.
As soon as they saw Shi Yue, they said congratulations: "Mrs. Qiu, congratulations, the Shi family will definitely prosper with you in the future."
Shi Yue felt like her face was frozen with laughter as she spoke polite words to these people.
When there was finally no one around, Shi Yue found the opportunity to ask Qiu Xichen: "Tonight's banquet is not just a social event, right?"
Qiu Xichen took two glasses of champagne and handed her one glass: "This is a celebration banquet prepared for you. We all can see Shi's achievements. You did a good job."
After finishing speaking, he added: "Any wine needs to be tasted carefully, otherwise it will be easy to get drunk."
Is he reminding himself of the last time he got drunk?
Many of the people who congratulated her just now asked about the customization of Shi's cheongsam, which inadvertently added some invisible customers to Shi Yue.
Shi Yue raised her wine glass and touched his gently: "No matter what, thank you for everything."
Qiu Xichen was obviously in a good mood today and took a sip: "As for your divorce proposal last time, I thought about it. If such news comes out not long after we get married, whether it is Qiu or Shi,
, are not good things, the best state is to maintain the status quo, what do you think?"
Shi Yue had expected such an answer, otherwise Qiu Xichen would have come up with the divorce agreement when she first proposed it.
She raised her head and smiled deeply at Qiu Xi: "The choice is never in my hands. Naturally, it is whatever the third master says."
She had accepted it all calmly and relaxed: "You are right, Shi Shi is where he is today thanks to your help."
Qiu Xichen was sure that her words were not from her heart, but none of that mattered anymore.
The old man was chatting with his friends and waved to them, wanting to introduce his friends to them.
Shi Yue showed a dignified posture, put her hand on the man's arm, and walked over there.
A lot of people were invited today, no less than the Qiu family last time. With Grandpa's introduction, Shi Yue got to know a lot of people.
Gu Huaian stood in the corner, watching helplessly as Qiu Xichen and Shi Yue became a couple.
Tonight's banquet was an invitation sent by Mr. Qiu. He clearly deliberately let her see this scene so that she could retreat.
Qiu Rushi became much better behaved during this period and was allowed to go out. She kept poking the cake with her fork by Gu Huaian's side, but she didn't feel relieved.
"Sister Huai'an, don't worry. Third brother and grandpa have been deceived by this bad woman. When her tricks are revealed, she will definitely be kicked out of the Qiu family."
Gu Huaian said nothing, knowing that her hope was getting slimmer.
Since she was taken back to the Gu family by her parents, under pressure from Xichen, they no longer insisted on marrying her to the Zhao family. However, she went to Xichen several times but could not see his face.
Not far away, Qiu Xichen was chatting with people he knew well, and he did not ignore his wife next to him.
If he is really attracted to Shi Yue, what should he do?
