Chapter 653: Chapter 653 Invisible

Lin Qi felt uneasy trying on the clothes inside, wondering how she looked in this beautiful set without a mirror to see. Resigned, she knew she had to step out regardless—after all, it was Shen Dong who had asked her to change into this outfit. If it didn’t look good, it wasn’t her fault.

She emerged with caution, treading lightly for fear of shedding the dress’s tassels, only to find all eyes drawn to her, as if something about her was captivating. It was terrifying, yet the stares seemed to convey something else entirely.

It seemed everyone was envying her, could it be that she really looked good in this dress? She approached Shen Dong with tentative steps. Nervously biting her lip, it was as if she had something difficult to say. Looking at Lin Qi like this, Lin Yun’s eyes were filled with nothing but jealousy.

It was as if the flames in her eyes could burst forth at any moment, muttering under her breath about the "little temptress dressed so provocatively"... Of course, nobody overheard her. If they had, she would have been subjected to strange looks. Shen Dong, quite satisfied upon seeing the dress, reflected his pleasure.

Lin Qi walked up to him and, with a soft voice, said,

"Do I look good in this dress, or is it somehow strange? There’s no mirror here, and I think you should consider putting one so that we can see our postures. I’m quite curious about how I look since I can’t see myself. Maybe you should think about showing me..."

"Sure, I’ll take you to see now. You’re truly perfect in this dress. Wear it for the live stream, and I bet you’ll attract a bunch of old lechers, easily raking in their money. I believe you can do it." When Shen Dong first saw this dress, he immediately thought of Lin Qi.

He felt that no matter the aspect or type, Lin Qi was the most suitable for this dress. That’s what he had intended when he bought it.

And true to his expectations, it suited her perfectly, as if it were tailored just for her.

"It looks good on you," he replied with a warm smile, "When I said this dress really suits you, I meant it. I can’t think of anyone else who could wear it so well, can you?"

Lin Qi, flattered, felt embarrassed yet couldn’t help but stand a bit taller, thinking she must look beautiful. All she lacked was styling and make-up, which she’d tend to once she got back.

Maybe one day soon, she’d need to live stream herself, and she should practice her pitch. She couldn’t just sit there doing nothing on camera. Lin Qi felt that certainly wouldn’t do.

Seeing the dress, Lin Yun grew even angrier. If she wore it, she’d look good too. It would suit the other girls just as well—why all the fuss over Lin Qi? Feeling indignant, she blurted out,

"Boss, you’re quite biased, aren’t you? Our dresses aren’t exactly breathtaking, but Lin Qi’s is clearly more exquisite. How is that fair? We’d look good in them too. Maybe we should try them on. If they fit, couldn’t you consider buying some for us as well? I really think they’re lovely."

After saying this, she noted a restlessness stirring among the women. Everyone loved beautiful clothes and wanted to try them, but knowing they were expensive, none dared to speak up. Now that one bold voice had spoken, how could they not be pleased? They all nodded subtly, indicating their agreement.

Shen Dong thought this woman was definitely stirring up trouble. There was no need for all this—now she had all the women wanting to try on the clothes. Lin Qi just laughed, full of disdain. Did this woman even consider whether she had the right figure for this dress?

Her figure was the classic hourglass, hardly suited for it. But if she wanted to wear it and set herself up to be outshone, then why not have a comparison?

Breaking from her usual timid demeanor, she lifted her chin and said, "You’re the one who wants to try it on. Just don’t blame the dress if it doesn’t look good when you come out. After all, I looked pretty good in it, didn’t I?" Lin Qi said with a slight smile, voicing words that were not exactly pleasant to hear.

Lin Yun immediately agreed. Bold enough to mock her with such passive-aggressiveness, Lin Qi must think she’s something special since she’s supported by a wealthy benefactor. But the boss had many girls, not just her.

Lin Yun stood proudly and said, "Sure, I want to try it on and see if it suits me—just to see if it fits."

Even though she didn’t fully commit in her response, Lin Qi had already headed to the dressing room to change out of the dress. With newfound confidence, she left the dress inside, encouraging them, "Go ahead, you try it on first."

After Lin Yun entered, many women watched, eager to see who would win in this unspoken battle. Some found the situation quite amusing and even laid bets on who would look best.

Shen Du laughed and said to Lin Qi, "I never thought you would stoop to caring about such things. I remember you used to dislike playing these games. Seems like the saying ’even a cornered bunny will bite’ is true. Are you angry?"

"No, I’m not that angry, really. It’s just that people like her bother you constantly, and it feels very uncomfortable. Like now, sometimes you can’t speak your mind openly and have to keep hiding it, which makes me uncomfortable. I’d rather let her know where I stand."

Lin Qi actually didn’t have much experience handling these situations. Now, all she needed to do was wait and see how good Lin Yun would look—or not. If not, Lin Qi could have the last laugh.
