Chapter 1165: Taunting
Holding Lin Yuqing's small face in his large hands, Xiao Mingyang suddenly became serious and said earnestly, "But even when you smile, you look preoccupied, not truly happy. Yuqing, don't make yourself so tired. Although you're working at the company now, you need to know that no matter what happens, I'll always be here for you!"
Looking into Xiao Mingyang's sparkling eyes, Lin Yuqing felt a warmth in her heart. It felt so good to be loved and pampered.
But love is mutual. No matter how deep the feelings are, they won't last if only one side is giving. Moreover, given Lin Yuqing's personality, she doesn't want to be a caged bird. Compared to her previous life, she prefers the feeling of fighting alongside her loved one now.
Lin Yuqing gave Xiao Mingyang a quick kiss on the lips, her smile sweet. "Don't you know that people get dumber the longer they stay in a daze? I'm not going to be a silly woman! So, you're destined to worry about me, just accept it!"
Seeing that Lin Yuqing gently rejected him, Xiao Mingyang sighed helplessly and said, "I knew you wouldn't agree. Sigh, come back when you're tired of playing around outside."
Reaching out and grabbing Xiao Mingyang by the neck, Lin Yuqing laughed and scolded, "What do you mean by 'playing'? That's work, okay! How dare you ignore my hard work? Just wait and see how I deal with you!!"
Just as the two were laughing and joking on the sofa, there was another knock on the door.
Amused, Lin Yuqing teased Xiao Mingyang, "Luckily, they didn't come at a 'critical' moment this time, saving you from suffering!"
This woman actually dared to mock me!
Xiao Mingyang pulled Lin Yuqing into his arms and kissed her passionately before letting her go, though he was still displeased.
It seems we need to move out at a suitable opportunity. If things continue like this, Xiao Mingyang will have the urge to kill someone.
He got up, opened the door, and sure enough, standing outside were Xiao Jincheng's men.
She casually held two large boxes in her hands, her head down, not daring to look Xiao Mingyang in the eye.
"Young Master, these are the evening gowns and accessories that the Master prepared for you and your wife. They were all designed by a well-known designer. We hope you and your wife will like them."
Taking the box coldly, Xiao Mingyang's voice seemed capable of freezing people into ice, saying emotionlessly, "It seems that Grandpa really put a lot of thought into this. Please tell Grandpa for me that this time, we will definitely do our best!"
Cold sweat trickled down his forehead. The attendant could hear the sarcasm in Xiao Mingyang's tone, so he lowered his head even further, not daring to even breathe. He only hoped that Xiao Mingyang would let him leave quickly, because he was afraid that if he was any later, he would be too nervous to breathe!
The Xiao family members are all incredibly difficult to please. If you talk too much, they find you annoying; if you talk too little, they think you're dull. Moreover, their thoughts are hard to guess; you can never figure out what they're thinking, so flattery and bootlicking are completely useless.
Lin Yuqing was very curious about what the dress in the box looked like, so she urged Xiao Mingyang to open it quickly. This gave Sui a chance to catch her breath, and she turned around and hurriedly went back to report to Xiao Jincheng.
Standing up from the sofa, Lin Yuqing quickly opened the box, revealing a black and white tulle dress lying quietly inside. It was sweet yet sexy, breathtakingly beautiful.
"Wow, this dress is so pretty!" Lin Yuqing smiled as she picked up the dress and held it up in front of her, looking like she really liked it.
Seeing Lin Yuqing's smile, the coldness in Xiao Mingyang's heart gradually dissipated.
Turning around, he opened another box, inside which was a white suit belonging to Xiao Mingyang. It was well-tailored, and without even guessing, it was definitely made by a famous designer.
Smiling, Lin Yuqing turned around and said, "It seems that Xiao Jincheng is quite sincere this time. At least we don't have to worry about the dresses."
Casually flipping through the clothes, Xiao Mingyang said lazily and nonchalantly, "Hmph, he's trying to win people over. If I were in charge of the dresses, I could definitely find a better designer."
"You always have to focus on the bad side of things. Let's think more about the happy aspects. For example, we can spend more time with Xuan'er while we're choosing clothes, or go out and tell Zhenzhen a story. Wouldn't that be better?"
Originally, Xiao Mingyang wanted to refuse the two sets of clothes and give Xiao Jincheng a hard time. But after hearing Lin Yuqing's words, he also felt that wasting time on this was a very boring thing, so he put his arm around Lin Yuqing's shoulder and said, "My woman is the most sensible."
Soon, the day for the cocktail party arrived. Perhaps it had been too long since she had attended such an event, but Lin Yuqing felt a little nervous and looked at herself in the mirror again and again.
Sitting on a small stool behind Lin Yuqing, Xuan'er was dressed in a black tuxedo with a bow tie around his neck, looking every bit the little gentleman.
But now, the gentleman looked helplessly in the mirror and said, "Mommy, you're already very beautiful. Don't worry about embarrassing yourself!"
Turning around, Lin Yuqing had light makeup on her face, her hair was tied up, and she wore a sapphire necklace around her neck.
It must be said that Lin Yuqing looked breathtakingly beautiful today; every adornment was perfect. She was sure to be the center of attention at the entire party, driving men wild with admiration and women to the brink of madness with envy.
Even though it was perfect, Lin Yuqing still awkwardly tugged at the hem of her skirt and asked, "Xuan'er, don't you think Mommy's skirt is a little too short?"
This was Lin Yuqing's first time attending a banquet with Xiao Mingyang in the name of their family. First impressions were very important, and she didn't want Xiao Mingyang to feel embarrassed, so she had to be perfect in every way.
Tilting her head at Lin Yuqing, Xuan'er's eyes sparkled as she said, "Aren't we going to leave here eventually? Why should Mommy care what others think? Besides, you look great like this. I bet at the party, someone will be wearing a skirt even shorter than yours."
Lin Yuqing thought about it and realized it made sense. Sigh, sometimes even as an adult, she wasn't as insightful as a child. Even if she gained a good reputation for Mingyang, so what? Nobody would care. Why make herself miserable?
With this thought in mind, Lin Yuqing felt much more relaxed.
After carefully placing the books on the bookshelf, Xuan'er said, "Mommy, if we're done tidying up, let's go out quickly. Daddy is probably still waiting for us."
Looking at herself in the mirror again, Lin Yuqing took a deep breath, then took Xuan'er's hand and slowly walked out the door.
Although he had been waiting for a long time, Xiao Mingyang was not in a hurry at all. He sat in his chair and slowly read a financial magazine. When he heard the sound of high heels on the floor, a smile appeared on his lips. He turned around, and his eyes instantly brightened like the stars in the sky.
