Chapter 223: Chapter 223 Send Me a Copy of the Photo

"It was the lady who bought the Chocolate Fantasy."

The employee answered Shi Yiqing’s question.

The Chocolate Fantasy was precisely the dress that Cheng Lingdang had purchased.

Upon hearing it was Cheng Lingdang, Shi Yiqing thought for a moment, then took the dress from the employee’s hands and went into the fitting room.

After trying it on, she confirmed that the dress suited her perfectly.

Shi Yiqing decided to buy it on the spot.

She had set out to go shopping today specifically to buy a gown.

Since this one fit so well, she bought it.

As for what Cheng Lingdang truly meant, she didn’t want to concern herself with that for the time being.

There shouldn’t be any problems.

...

Meanwhile, Cheng Lingdang, who had left the store, was making a bet with Shi Yaoguang.

"Brother Shi, do you think Shi Yiqing will buy that dress?"

Shi Yaoguang replied, "She will."

Cheng Lingdang was a bit stunned, "Why?"

According to Cheng Lingdang’s reasoning, Shi Yiqing would definitely not want the dress after knowing it had been sent by an employee at her behest.

Shi Yaoguang looked at her deeply and said, "She wants to please you."

"What?"

Cheng Lingdang was startled again, "Why should she please..."

Before she could finish, it dawned on her.

Why would she want to please her?

Of course, it was because Cheng Lingdang had revealed her identity.

She had said that she was Xiao Cenyang’s granddaughter, and with Shi Yiqing having ulterior motives, it would be odd for her not to try to ingratiate herself.

But Cheng Lingdang was still a bit puzzled, "Brother Shi, did you know for sure she would buy it? Was it just intuition?"

"No."

Shi Yaoguang replied, "The dress fits her very well."

"What?"

Cheng Lingdang felt a bit confused.

Just moments ago, after checking out,

Shi Yaoguang had her tell the employee to take the pink gown over for Shi Yiqing to try.

Cheng Lingdang did as told, and after coming out, she was curious whether Shi Yiqing would do the same.

Now, after hearing Shi Yaoguang say the pink gown suited Shi Yiqing, she was bewildered.

"If that gown fits her so well, and you’ve guessed her mindset, knowing she would buy it, why did you have it sent over to her? Were you really trying to make her stand out?"

"Of course not."

Shi Yaoguang said, curving his lips into a smile, "She suits that gown, so she will buy it."

"The Shi Family doesn’t have the financial strength to allow her extravagant spending, so for the Xiao Family event, she will only prepare one gown."

"Since she has bought this one, she will definitely wear it to the event."

Cheng Lingdang, seeing his seemingly amused expression, suddenly thought of a possibility, "You’re not trying to wear the same dress as her, are you?"

As the saying goes, clashing dresses aren’t scary; it’s embarrassing for the one who looks worse.

If Shi Yiqing were to attend wearing the same gown as Shi Yaoguang on Grandfather’s birthday,

Then...

The plain Shi Yiqing would inevitably meet with disaster.

Thinking this, Cheng Lingdang couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter.

How tragic.

It was just too tragic.

But...

Why was it so funny?

Shi Yaoguang, looking at her schadenfreude, said helplessly, "I don’t plan to clash dresses with her."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Lingdang immediately felt it was a pity.

Then, she heard Shi Yaoguang say, "I’m planning to clash colors with her."

Cheng Lingdang’s mouth twitched.

Clash colors?

That’s even more ruthless than clashing dresses.

Brother Shi can be so wicked.

But...

She really liked it!!

...

In preparation for the Xiao Family’s banquet, those in Mingzhu City who were privileged enough to receive an invitation began to enthusiastically get ready.

Quan Jinbei was no exception.

This made Shi Yaoguang a bit curious, "Third Master, you’re also going to the Xiao Family?"

"Mm." Quan Jinbei responded with a sound, then stood up from his wheelchair and said to her, "Come with me."

Having said that, he took the lead into the walk-in closet.

Shi Yaoguang had no choice but to follow.

And then, she saw the closet filled with complete sets of formal attire.

A whole set that included men’s suits, women’s evening gowns, and some jewelry accessories.

Looking at the obviously couple’s attire, Shi Yaoguang rubbed her forehead, "Aren’t these a bit too showy?"

"What’s showy about it?"

Quan Jinbei countered.

Shi Yaoguang thought about it and realized...

Actually, there wasn’t anything showy about it.

Apart from the suit’s minor accessories and the tie being in the same color scheme as the gown, with the same pleating details, everything was quite understated.

Shi Yaoguang only hesitated briefly before picking out a red set.

The one she chose was a tulle dress.

The red was merely the most conspicuous color in the tulle dress; the rest of the fabric was made up of layers of red ranging from light to dark.

Such a dress was a true test of who wore it.

Worn well, it turned one into a goddess.

Worn poorly, it could look very cheap.

Shi Yaoguang easily proved that she belonged to the former category.

When she emerged from the fitting room, Quan Jinbei was stunned.

Shi Yaoguang found his reaction somewhat amusing.

"Third Master~" She walked up to him, a light laugh in her voice as she waved her hand in front of him, "Do I look that good? You seem spellbound."

She made a joke, only to hear Quan Jinbei say very seriously, "You look beautiful."

Shi Yaoguang was taken aback, then responded, "Thank you, I think so too."

After speaking, she pushed him lightly, "Third Master, you try on yours too, see if the suit fits."

Quan Jinbei nodded and took the suit into the fitting room.

Not long after, he came out dressed in a suit with elements of red to match hers.

The man had sharp, starry eyes and deep facial features; his side profile exuded a sharp and fierce kind of beauty; just standing there was enough to captivate anyone’s gaze.

Quan Jinbei and she locked eyes.

Seeing the astonishment in each other’s eyes, they both smiled.

Shi Yaoguang beckoned to him, and Quan Jinbei obediently walked to her side.

"Click—"

Shi Yaoguang took out her phone and snapped a photo with Quan Jinbei.

In the picture, the couple in matching outfits stood side by side, both faces wearing a smile; just looking at the still image in the photo was enough to taste the sweetness.

"You..." Quan Jinbei frowned as he looked at the photo in her phone.

Seeing this, Shi Yaoguang asked, "You don’t like me taking photos of you?"

Some people just don’t like to be photographed; if they are, it can feel like an intrusion.

Thinking this, she swiped the screen, "If you don’t like it, I can delete it."

"No need." Quan Jinbei gave a slight cough and propped his fist against his lips, "Send me a copy of the photo."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yaoguang immediately smiled with crescent eyes, "Sure."

After getting the photo, Quan Jinbei immediately had the butler print it out.

Many sizes were printed, at least a dozen; Quan Jinbei displayed one in his room and had the butler hang another in the living room.

When Shi Yaoguang came downstairs and saw the newly added photo on the wall, she paused.

The butler explained, "Third Master had it hung."

At this, he couldn’t help but remark, "You and Third Master really are a perfect match, truly made for each other."

"You sure know how to talk," Shi Yaoguang laughed and scolded, then asked, "Where’s Third Master now?"

The butler replied, "Master Sicheng called just now, and Third Master stepped out."

Shi Yaoguang frowned, "A call from Quan Sicheng? Do you know what they talked about?"
