After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies

Chapter 1168: Watching the Show

Despite the praise, Lin Yuqing showed no embarrassment. She seemed used to Xuan'er's compliments, radiating maternal love and not caring what she was wearing. It was as if an ordinary apron and a custom-made one worth hundreds of thousands were no different.

Michelle couldn't get angry at Lin Yuqing like this. She couldn't see the slightest desire to compete in beauty in Lin Yuqing's eyes. Even if they were wearing the same clothes in this situation, it was just a wonderful coincidence.

But is today's outfit clash really just a coincidence?

Michelle glanced at Lin Yuqing, and just as she was thinking about something, she heard an elegant and deep voice coming from behind her.

"Yuqing?"

Turning around to look at the man behind her, Michelle's eyes suddenly lit up, but after thinking about Xiao Mingyang's identity, a hint of disdain appeared in her eyes.

It was that idiot!

Looking at Michelle's dress, Xiao Mingyang seemed to be taken aback for a moment. He then reached out and supported Lin Yuqing's slender waist, smiling apologetically, "I'm sorry, it was my mistake that caused the two ladies to have such a wonderful little misunderstanding."

Under Lin Yuqing's surprised gaze, Xiao Mingyang looked at Michelle and asked, "Madam, may I ask if your dress designer was Dan John?"

Michelle had assumed that Xiao Mingyang would be a dim-witted idiot who couldn't even speak properly, but she was surprised to find that he was a polite gentleman with a charming demeanor that captivated the women around him.

Michelle wouldn't allow herself to look so idiotic, so she raised her chin and said haughtily, "That's right."

“That’s right!” Xiao Mingyang rubbed his forehead a little awkwardly and laughed. “I also heard that Dan John is a very famous designer, so I ordered a dress from him. I don’t know much about these things, so I asked my assistant to do it and have him choose a dress that suits the body type of an Asian. But now it seems that there must be a problem with the designer.”

Upon hearing this, Michelle angrily exclaimed, "That John is so careless!"

“It’s not entirely the designer’s fault,” Xiao Mingyang kindly explained on behalf of the other party. “He didn’t know me and probably thought I was going to take this dress back to China to attend a banquet, which is why he sold it to me.”

Even so, Michelle was still furious. She pouted her red lips and said unhappily, "But my clothes must be unique. No matter who it is, they can't resell them!"

“However, only through comparison can we know who suits this dress better.” Xiao Mingyang looked at Michelle with a smile and said sincerely, “I must say, this lady looks even more elegant in this dress.”

Xuan'er seemed to agree with Xiao Mingyang's words, raising her arm and saying, "Dad, that's what I think too!"

Although everyone around her was praising Michelle, Lin Yuqing didn't seem unhappy at all. Instead, she looked at Michelle with a smile, appearing to agree with her.

Such a compliment made Michel unusually modest, and he said, "Not at all, your wife is dressed very beautifully too."

Xiao Mingyang promptly handed two cocktails to the two ladies, then raised his glass and said with a smile, "Cheers to our beautiful coincidence!"

Following Xiao Mingyang's actions, Michelle took a sip in response. Even she herself couldn't believe that something as unacceptable as wearing the same clothes as someone else was just let go like that!

Michelle felt a headache coming on and wanted to find a place to calm down, so she parted ways with the family of three and went upstairs with her friends.

Beside the spiral staircase on the second floor stood a large harp. A woman in an elegant white dress casually plucked the strings, and a beautiful melody flowed forth. People around her showered her with compliments, but the woman remained unmoved, a faint smile playing on her lips, like an elegant Greek maiden, noble and aloof.

"Joanna, you should go downstairs and play a tune. I think those men will go crazy for you!"

Upon hearing the sound, Joanna stopped what she was doing, turned around, and flashed a perfect smile.

Michelle walked happily to Joanna's side, cheerfully taking her arm. She was no longer the aloof girl from just moments before. Michelle could be arrogant, but the only person she truly admired and was willing to be close to was Joanna.

"What did you go down there for?"

"Oh, Sophie told me to go downstairs and see some old friends. But talking to those women is so boring! They can't outdo me in looks, and all they talk about are designer brands and men. I'm going crazy!"

"Really? But I feel like you actually learned something just now."

Ok?

Looking at Joanna with a puzzled expression, Michelle suddenly remembered their earlier outfit clash and asked with a strange look, "You saw everything?"

"Yes, what a coincidence, we saw them both."

Ignoring her discomfort, Michelle pretended to be nonchalant and said, "After the party, I'm going to smash John's shop! I told him he wasn't allowed to resell the same clothes, but he completely ignored me! If I hadn't caught him red-handed today, I don't know how long he would have kept fooling me!"

Joanna didn't seem to care much about it. She pursed her lips and smiled, "Given your personality, if you saw another woman wearing the same outfit as you, you would definitely tear her clothes and then kick her out. So how did you manage to come in so calmly today?"

Michelle also found today's events unbelievable. After thinking for a while, she concluded, "Maybe it's because that family is so lovely that I couldn't get angry. In our circle, we see so much scheming and comparison, but it's rare to see such a peaceful and loving relationship between husband and wife, isn't it?"

Joanna raised an eyebrow, her face showing disdain, and said, "Love? I don't think so!"

Michelle was surprised and asked, "Why?"

"If a man truly loves his wife, then she is the only one in his eyes, and no one can shake her position in his heart. How could that man praise another woman in front of his wife?"

Hearing Joanna's explanation, Michelle thought it made a lot of sense. But at the time, she really couldn't see anything wrong. Was she just oblivious and didn't notice?

"I want to investigate that man."

Michelle was trying to recall the scene when she heard Joanna's words. She paused, then seemed to realize something, pulled Michelle aside, looked closely into her eyes, and asked, "What do you mean by that? Are you referring to Xiao Mingyang...?"

"That's right, I'm very interested in that man!"

Michelle's eyes widened, and she exclaimed urgently, "But he's already married!"

Joanna looked indifferent and said, "So what! I'm younger than that woman, my family background is better than hers, and more importantly, I'm confident I can make Xiao Mingyang fall in love with me!"
