Chapter 208: 211 Just like you said, can’t afford to gamble, nor afford to regret

"It’s a pity... a bit too dark..."

Song Lili looked at her reflection in the mirror.

"It’s not too dark, not at all. Compared to the ubiquitous, translucent white on the streets, I truly think Miss Song’s natural skin color looks much better,"

the store manager said, and then took out a pair of shoes from a cabinet,

"You’re already tall. A pair of low wedge heels will be enough, understated yet elegant."

Song Lili was quite satisfied with the outfit she had put together, but just then—

"This dress... you didn’t show it earlier!"

Wang Yun was wearing the exact black dress that Song Lili had initially wanted to try.

She pointed at the store manager and demanded an explanation.

The store manager was taken aback and hurriedly explained, "This dress has been hanging in this cabinet because it’s not the featured design of this season, so..."

"A Judith Marshall limited edition! You’ve hidden it for so long! Do you even care about me?"

Wang Yun’s eyes were venomous as she lashed out angrily at the store manager.

Her outburst drew people over from the neighboring VIP room.

Song Xiangqiao also rushed over, and upon seeing what Song Lili was wearing, her heart skipped a beat...

"What’s the matter, Xiao Yun?"

"Mom, I like this dress, I was looking for this dress, and this store manager never brought it out. But now she has given it to her!"

Wang Yun pointed at Song Lili.

The store manager panicked and started to explain,

"Mrs. Wang, I didn’t—"

"So what if it’s given to me, Miss Wang?"

Song Lili looked toward Wang Yun, her large eyes indifferently resting upon her...

"You, you—"

Wang Yun wanted to spew out all the ugly words, but unfortunately, there were just too many people around...

"Manager, please cut the label from the back of the dress and show it to Miss Wang. Don’t worry, I’ll buy the dress."

The manager quickly did as instructed.

Wang Yun took the label, glanced at it, and then hastily said to Song Lili, "Only 120,000, you think I can’t afford it?"

Song Lili sighed and walked towards Wang Yun, pointing out the size on the label for her, "One meter seventy, do you have that?"

"..."

Wang Yun was completely frozen.

"The manager didn’t bring it out because she feared it wouldn’t fit you; can’t you understand that?

Wang Yun looked up slightly, her face flushed with annoyance as she gazed at the calm Song Lili!

"Manager, could you please pack the dress and shoes for me? Charge it to my father’s card."

Song Lili said, then turned to her father with a coy pout, completely disarming Song Jiayu. It had been many years since Lili had acted spoiled towards him, "Charge it, charge it!"

Wang Yun clenched her fists, gnashing her back teeth so hard they made a noise.

Song Xiangqiao felt a pang of jealousy she couldn’t quite put into words...

She could only console herself with the thought that Song Lili’s good days wouldn’t last much longer.

British Time, twelve noon, the international conference that had lasted over four hours came to an end.

Qu Yu followed Wen Nian, whispering,

"Your Excellency, the plane is ready. Shall we depart now?"

"What else?"

Wen Nian glanced at Qu Yu.

Qu Yu gave a nervous chuckle.

"Did you arrange everything I asked you to take care of?"

Wen Nian asked again.

Qu Yu eagerly laughed again, "All set, all set."

Wen Nian gave him another look, "How long will you keep groveling like this?"

Qu Yu scratched his head, completely lacking the air of an elite, "It’s just... I feel a bit embarrassed..."

"Really?"

"When you spoke so decisively before, I truly thought you had no intention of caring for the lady anymore. Who would have known..."

Wen Nian pursed his lips, put on his sunglasses, and hid the hints of dejection in his eyes,

"Indeed, there was a moment when I didn’t want to bother with her, to let her suffer properly for once."

"Then..."

"Just like you said, I can’t afford to gamble or to regret."
