Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Aren’t you spellbound by your wife by now?

Qiao Xi was on a flight to South City the next afternoon, as she was going there to shoot a perfume advertisement.

Qiao Xi got up early to pack, but received a call from Ran Jing.

She paused, slightly surprised, "Mom."

"Xixi, are you free right now? How about we go shopping and then have lunch together?"

To be fair, Ran Jing hadn’t been bad to her. The dreadful mother-in-law one reads about in dog-blooded stories hadn’t happened to her.

Before her relationship with Shen Dang was exposed, Qiao Xi felt it wasn’t right to refuse Ran Jing.

"I’m free. My flight to South City is at three in the afternoon, so we can have lunch together."

"Okay." Ran Jing’s gentle laughter came through, "Then see you in a bit."

"Okay."

Her luggage was almost ready. Worried about the time, Qiao Xi phoned Bei Bei, "I have an appointment at noon, come pick up my suitcase, and we’ll meet at the airport in the afternoon."

"Got it, Sister Xi."

Qiao Xi changed into a new outfit and applied light makeup before departing, meeting Ran Jing at the Shen Group’s shopping mall below.

It’s in women’s nature to love shopping, and Ran Jing was no exception. She didn’t forget to include Qiao Xi when shopping for clothes.

"This cheongsam looks nice; I’ll try it on. Xixi, you should look too. With your figure, you would absolutely look fantastic in a cheongsam."

Ample bust, slim waist, long legs, curvaceous physique, delicate figure, and fair skin—she had all the attributes in one beautiful package.

Such a beauty, and she wondered how her son could neglect her for two whole years.

Blind!

"Mom, I have plenty of clothes, I really don’t need more."

Ran Jing held her hand, "The clothes you have were gifts from brands, it’s different from when I give you something. Sweetheart, go pick something."

Ran Jing entered a fitting room while a sales associate took down a cheongsam for Qiao Xi, "Mrs. Shen, this cheongsam is new to our store. The color is beautiful but difficult to wear well; however, I think it suits you perfectly."

The light blue cheongsam was fresh and elegant. On anyone less careful it could look dull and unflattering, but not on Qiao Xi. Her skin pale as snow and her ethereal beauty made the color complement her beautifully.

The sales associate recognized her as the famous star Qiao Xi, but they dared not spread what they saw today.

Discussing the secrets of high society was a surefire way to get in trouble.

Qiao Xi thought trying it on wouldn’t hurt, but then a hand reached out and took the cheongsam away.

"I’ve taken a liking to this dress, just wrap it up for me," Qu Keke took out a card.

The sales associate looked at the newcomer, "Miss, this dress..." This dress doesn’t suit you at all, do you have any taste?

Qiao Xi arched an eyebrow, her eyes lifting slightly, "You like this cheongsam, do you?"

Qu Keke was haughty, "What, I can’t like it?"

"That’s right, you haven’t paid yet, we can still buy it," Qu Keke’s friend chimed in.

"It’s not that you can’t, just that this cheongsam doesn’t suit you." Qiao Xi gave her a once-over, her unpolished frame too immature to carry such a dress properly.

It would look utterly awkward on her.

Qu Keke felt that Qiao Xi looked down on her, which made her even more upset, "It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t suit me. The point is I won’t let you buy it. What can you do about it? And I suggest you leave Brother Dang as soon as possible!"

She declared her territorial rights, seething with agitation.

She had disliked Qiao Xi for a long time, the woman who managed to marry Brother Dang!

Qiao Xi’s lips curled in a sneer, "Better break a temple than destroy a marriage. On what grounds is Miss Qu asking me to leave?"

Coldness played on the corners of her lips. In her life, she hated homewreckers the most.

It wasn’t for a homewrecker her own mother would have died so young!

She didn’t provoke others, but that didn’t mean she accepted others provoking her.

Madam Shen was still here, so Qiao Xi naturally had to take a stance.

"What grounds? It’s clear that Brother Dang would never fancy you. You should leave him if you had any self-awareness!"

"Oh, is that so?" A well-dressed lady emerged from a fitting room, carrying an imposing aura, "Miss Qu, since when did you get a say in our family affairs?"

Qu Keke’s pupils shrank at the sight of Ran Jing, her heart racing, "Aunt, it’s not what you think, I... I..."

Why was Madam Shen here?

Qiao Xi surely knew, but she didn’t tell her! Such a scheming woman!

Ran Jing ignored Qu Keke, approaching Qiao Xi and tapping her hand gently, "Xixi, you’re the rightful Mrs. Shen. You should be assertive; not everyone can bully you."

While her tone was reproachful, it was also endearingly protective.

Qiao Xi was indifferent, "It’s just a dress."

Was she talking about just a dress?

Sigh.

Qu Keke’s inner fury erupted, explaining frantically, "Aunt, it’s not like what you just saw."

Qiao Xi did it on purpose. She did it so that she would make a bad impression in front of Madam Shen, utterly malicious!

Ran Jing snorted coldly, "I have eyes to see for myself. Besides, Miss Qu, you’d better address me as Madam Shen. I can’t hold the title of ’aunt’ for you. Xixi, have you chosen a dress? Let’s buy some mother-in-law and daughter-in-law matching outfits."

There were couple outfits and parent-child outfits, but mother-in-law and daughter-in-law outfits were unheard of.

Qiao Xi smiled coyly, "Not yet, I’ll look at some others."

The sales associate turned to Qu Keke, "Miss, do you still want this cheongsam?"

"No, I don’t want it anymore."

Qu Keke and her friend fled in disgrace, convincing herself that this way she could still salvage some dignity in front of Madam Shen.

"Mrs. Shen, what do you think?"

The beauty before her was indeed a sight to behold.

Ran Jing’s eyes brightened, "That one looks good, ah, the pattern is exquisite and vintage, and the color pops. Go try it on."

Qiao Xi emerged in a cheongsam, eliciting gasps from those around her, completely captivated by her stunning appearance.

The slim-waisted woman wore the cheongsam with a graceful charm, elegant yet antiquated; she seemed like a beauty stepped out of an ink painting, each fold and hem exuding exquisite grace that made hearts flutter!

Ran Jing was the first to snap out of it, "My daughter-in-law is really too beautiful!"

The thought of her good-for-nothing son made her heart ache a bit.

"I’ll take a picture; I must capture such a beautiful scene."

Before Qiao Xi could protest, Ran Jing snapped several shots in quick succession.

Qiao Xi smiled helplessly as she watched the delighted lady, reminded of her own deceased mother.

If her mother could have seen her grow up, she might have been just like Madam Shen.

In the end, Ran Jing insisted that Qiao Xi change out of the dress; she feared Qiao Xi being so stunning would attract unwelcome attention.

With her son absent, she had to protect her daughter-in-law.

After buying the dress, Ran Jing led Qiao Xi to look at jewelry, as it logically followed, "Having bought the dress, naturally, it should be paired with accessories."

As they walked, Ran Jing texted Shen Dang a picture.

She thought triumphantly, you’ll undoubtedly be enchanted by your wife now.
