Ruan Lingwei handed a white dress with small floral patterns to Su ZiYue and urged her to change clothes. Meanwhile, she reclined on the bed with her right hand supporting her head, wearing a look as if waiting for the empress to be dressed by her maidservants.
"Vivi, I'll go to your dressing room to change..." Su ZiYue lowered her head, took the dress, and hurried to the dressing room, closing the door behind her. From behind, Ruan Lingwei's voice sounded plaintive, "Yue Yue, you're really breaking my heart! My beautiful lady-in-waiting, ah..."
Ruan Lingwei was Ning Quanyu's best friend and also the little princess of the Ruan Group. Both in family matters and appearance, she was top-notch. How should I put it? She had an extremely cheerful disposition but always longed for freedom, giving off an appearance of innocence.
Though some would say she was innocent, Ruan Lingwei had quite a few boyfriends in the past. However, each time, it was the man who broke up with her. Many people called her a simple and gentle heartbreaker. But Su ZiYue felt they were insulting Ruan Lingwei. They were just finding excuses for their breakups.
"This dress is really beautiful," Su ZiYue exclaimed as she took off her shirt, revealing the marks on her fair skin that were instantly reflected in the dressing mirror.
"Good thing Vivi didn't insist on me changing outside. Otherwise..." With Vivi's gossip-loving nature, she probably wouldn't behave well from today onward. Fortunately...
Thankful in her heart, Su ZiYue quickly changed into the white floor-length dress. She spun in front of the mirror, but soon her face turned dark. This low-cut and backless dress would let anyone know what she had been up to last night with just one glance...
"Vivi, this dress is too revealing. Do you have something more conservative?" After much hesitation, Su ZiYue decided to seek help from Ruan Lingwei outside.
Too revealing? Then it's just right! Just kidding, today she wanted Su ZiYue to be a bit "sexy", so she deliberately picked a dress slightly better than the one Su ZiYue was wearing.
"Nope... I threw away all the old ones a few days ago!" Ruan Lingwei lied shamelessly, without a hint of blushing or breathlessness. She tidied her hair falling onto her cheek and her eyes sparkled with interest. Putting Su ZiYue into the banquet might have an unexpected effect.
"Do you have a shawl or something?" Su ZiYue was almost in tears in the dressing room. "If you don't, I won't attend your family's banquet..."
Before Su ZiYue could finish her sentence, Ruan Lingwei in the room immediately jumped up from the bed. "Yes, yes..." Then she quickly found a cream-colored shawl from the closet and handed it to Su ZiYue in the dressing room.
Su ZiYue was true to her word. She realized she was being too obvious and immediately concealed her emotions.
Su ZiYue covered herself tightly with the cream-colored shawl in the dressing room. Fortunately, the shawl was large enough to cover about eighty percent. After making sure no one would notice, Su ZiYue opened the door and walked out of the dressing room.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ruan Lingwei turned her head and stared at Su ZiYue, who looked like an ethereal elf standing at the door, for a long time without coming back to her senses. In her heart, however, jealousy churned. Yes, jealousy. Ruan Lingwei had always hidden her jealousy of Mu Qianhan deep inside.
Did Su ZiYue find her expression ugly? Su ZiYue stood there, her head lowered, feeling somewhat uneasy, tapping her right foot with her left.
Knock, knock...
It wasn't until the sound of knocking on the door from outside that they both snapped out of their reverie.
"Miss, Madam asks you to come down quickly," Aunt Liu's voice sounded from outside the door.
Ruan Lingwei compared the crystal high-heeled shoes placed at the door of the dressing room to Su ZiYue and then turned back to the door, saying, "Aunt Liu, tell my mom I'll be down soon."
"Alright!" The footsteps outside gradually faded away.
A gleam flashed in Ruan Lingwei's eyes as she turned around, but she saw Su ZiYue still standing there motionless. She thought Su ZiYue hadn't understood the meaning of her previous gestures.
"Yue Yue, your shoe size is similar to mine. Wear those shoes, they match the dress," she said.
"Isn't it too high..." Su ZiYue looked at the nearly ten-inch high heels with some trepidation.
"Don't worry, I'm here!"
With Ruan Lingwei's assurance, Su ZiYue put on the nearly ten-inch high heels and walked downstairs at the fastest speed.
