I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

Chapter 509: Chapter 509: Booked it_1

The jewelry receptionist realized her mistake and felt she couldn’t just stand there watching, as it was very impolite, especially since a guest had pointed it out in public. So she quickly apologized.

"I’m sorry, I just thought your makeup was so pretty, and your hairstyle as well, these are all things I’ve never seen before. Everyone around us has the same long, straight black hair, none as lovely as yours, so I was a bit presumptuous. Excuse me, miss," said the jewelry receptionist very politely.

Kang Yue was extremely surprised by the compliment. Was her look really that attractive? She had simply thrown it together, the curly hair was even just a quick job, and now it had caught the jewelry receptionist’s attention. As for the makeup, it was the latest trend, but she thought only a small number of people would appreciate it.

"It’s okay, thank you for liking it. This was just something I arranged on the fly. At first, I was worried it was too ugly to show in public, but now it seems I thought too much," Kang Yue said confidently, yet she felt a bit embarrassed—so many people welcoming her all at once, making her wonder if she actually had something outstanding, but it was quite ordinary.

"Sister, you are really pretty. This necklace complements your skin tone perfectly. Try it on if you don’t believe me. The silver-white chain will look even brighter on you, and the diamond is particularly sparkling. Anyway, it doesn’t look ordinary at all when you wear it."

The receptionist spoke these words with a particularly happy smile, as if serving a beauty was an honor for her. She simply rested the necklace on the box, planning to wrap it up, as Shen Dong also thought it was beautiful, or else he wouldn’t have bought it.

"Looks like Mr. Shen is splurging today," Kang Yue said with a laugh, then casually selected other items knowing the expense was nothing to Shen Dong, considering it just a trifling amount of money to him. Without worries, she obediently looked for other things she wanted to buy.

After this shopping spree, there’d only be a small dent in the account, but they had actually bought several valuable items. The receptionist was so envious her eyes nearly turned green. What a pair of perfect people, a supremely good man and an equally beautiful lady together, the man doting on the lady excessively.

In the past, she had seen many men bring women to shop, but none were as generous as this gentleman, buying whatever was pointed out. The others usually let the women select a few items themselves. Not everyone was wealthy, so the jewelry receptionist thought this man was really terrific, guessing that the couple must live a particularly happy life together.

A woman can only look so lovely if she is happy in life, as the saying goes—a blossoming face comes from a contented life. Miss here was prettier than some domestic stars, indicating one thing—that this gentleman really was extraordinary. The receptionist felt very envious.

After seeing off the guests, she quietly discussed the matter with a colleague:

"How can someone be so fortunate? Not only pretty but also having such an exceptional man. If I could meet such a man, how wonderful that would be! I don’t know if I’ll ever be so lucky in this lifetime to meet such an incredible man, but if it happens, it would be worth it," the jewelry receptionist mused, blushing shyly at the thought of a man splurging on her, having whatever she wanted wrapped up immediately—such a blissful life seemed too perfect.

Shen Dong and Kang Yue, unaware that even a simple shopping trip could inspire such envy, left the store and noticed that it was already late. Fortunately, they were both ready and headed to the address given by Mr. Ma, holding hands, riding in the car, admiring the necklace that Shen Dong had chosen for Kang Yue.

It matched her outfit perfectly, shimmering brilliantly. With any light cast upon it, she guessed it would look even more enchanting. Indeed, such a necklace was the most suitable for her. She had grown indifferent to other accessories, and even the bracelet was part of a matching set to wear later. The choker around her neck couldn’t compare to this necklace.

"You think it looks good now, don’t you? When I showed it to you earlier, I thought you had such high standards because you didn’t seem interested. It wasn’t until I put it on you that you realized how suitable it is. Come on, let’s put it on now. I’ll help you wear it around your neck; it will match today’s makeup even better," Shen Dong said as he put the necklace on for her, making her look truly beautiful and enhancing her complexion.

On their way, the two didn’t talk much, each lost in their own thoughts. Kang Yue was feeling a bit insecure. Despite compliments from people on the street, the thought of walking in front of so many distinguished women made her shy. Those ladies had seen it all; how could they be captivated by a simple hairstyle she’d put together?

Launching her own line with such a style would be challenging. It was tough for Shen Dong to have such high expectations of her, and if she failed, it would be utterly embarrassing. That’s what she thought, but she didn’t show it on her face.

After all, those affluent women had seen countless trendy hairstyles. How could she, with her simple style, manage to impress? The thought preoccupied her mind as the car came to a stop at a grand and luxurious venue, indeed the setting of a five-star hotel.

Mr. Ma had really gone all out this time, organizing such a lavish party. Upon arrival, Shen Dong was very pleased. The purpose was to attend Mr. Ma’s opulent party, where the wealthy and influential would certainly be present. This was her opportunity.
