Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang He and Ji Yao had attended countless banquets. Even if they went upstairs to change their gowns slightly later than Gu Xiao, they still came downstairs before her.
Jiang He glanced at Ji Gao and Ji Chen who were already waiting in the living room. When she did not see Gu Xiao, a trace of satisfaction flashed across her eyes.
She had carefully chosen the gown for Gu Xiao.
Whether it was the design or the brand, that gown was considered top-notch. Naturally, no one could find any fault with her.
However, there was a huge problem with that gown. Not everyone could wear the beauty of that gown. If they did not have the temperament and figure that matched the gown, they would only be a foil to the gown and make the person in the gown ugly.contemporary romance
Overseas, the moment the design of this gown appeared, it attracted widespread attention and won the love of many people.
Many female celebrities wanted this gown, but ever since an A-list celebrity was called ugly because of this gown and her status fell as a result, no one dared to set their sights on this gown.
With Gu Xiao’s dirty temperament from the countryside, how could she manage to display the true beauty of that gown?
Only by just thinking about what would happen to Gu Xiao later, the smile in Jiang He’s eyes spread.
At the side, Ji Gao raised his arm and glanced at the watch on his wrist. He said impatiently, “Why isn’t Gu Xiao down yet! It’s been so long. Butler, why aren’t you getting someone to rush her?”
The butler quickly responded with a “yes” and prepared to walk upstairs.
However, just as he stepped onto the stairs, he saw Gu Xiao walking down in a light blue gown.
Her expression was indifferent. Her light blue gown perfectly wrapped around Gu Xiao’s figure, displaying her curvaceous figure vividly.
When Jiang He saw Gu Xiao like this, her face instantly darkened.
This was completely different from what she had imagined.
Gu Xiao should have been reduced to nothing but an ugly contrast next to the gown! How could she possibly be able to wear this gown?!
How could a country bumpkin from the countryside be more elegant than an A-list celebrity!
“There’s no need to rush me. I’m ready.”
Gu Xiao glanced at Jiang He and Ji Yao’s slightly devastated faces, and a smile appeared in the depths of her eyes.
In ancient times, she had attended many banquets, and they were state banquets at that! How could such a small gown stump her?
Shock flashed across Ji Chen’s eyes. Then he came back to his senses, walked to the stairs and reached out his hand to Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao looked at the pair of well-defined hands in front of her and paused for a moment. She looked at Ji Chen with a complicated expression.
A few seconds later, Gu Xiao put her hand into Ji Chen’s and let Ji Chen help her down the stairs.
“Ji Chen! What are you doing?” Jiang He was already angry that her plan had been disrupted. After seeing Ji Chen’s actions, she became even angrier.
“Brother, when Mommy came down just now, you didn’t even reach out to help her.”
Ji Yao hid beside Jiang He and spoke weakly, as if she was defending Jiang He.
Yet because of Ji Yao’s words, Jiang He was glaring angrily with a questioning look at Ji Chen.
“Her skirt is too long. Didn’t dad help mom before?” Ji Chen asked truthfully.
“That’s different! You can’t—”
Before Jiang He could finish her sentence, Ji Gao interrupted her. “Alright, why are you still concerned about this at a time like this? We’re not going to set off?”
Ji Gao turned around and walked out. When he turned around, his gaze landed on Gu Xiao with a hint of satisfaction.
No matter what, Gu Xiao was still his daughter. If he brought her out like this, it would be prouder for him.
Jiang He was dissatisfied. After glaring at Gu Xiao, she chased after Ji Gao.
Ji Yao, who was left behind, shrunk back when she saw Ji Chen and Gu Xiao looking at her. She quickly followed them. She had been afraid of this brother since she was young. She always felt that this brother did not take her to heart at all, let alone care for her.
After the three of them left, Gu Xiao took out her hand and thanked Ji Chen.
“No need, it is my duty.” Ji Chen said and left. “If there is anything you don’t understand at the banquet, just follow me.”
Hearing this, Gu Xiao pursed her lips and her eyes flashed as if she thought of something. She did not agree or refuse, but followed behind Ji Chen..
