The sudden ring of MO Xiuchen’s cell phone interrupted his kiss with Wen Ran. He frowned slightly, reluctantly released her, still keeping one arm around her waist, and reached for his phone with the other hand.
Wen Ran’s eyes were hazy, her cheeks flushed, and her legs soft, unable to support her standing.
After glancing at the caller ID, MO Xiuchen, still holding Wen Ran, sat on a nearby couch. Only then did he press the answer button, his voice filled with unsatisfied yearning, “What is it?”
The person on the other end of the call was taken aback by his tone for a
moment. After a second, a cheerful voice came through, “MO Xiuchen, why are you so mad? Did I interrupt something important?”
“If you have something to say, say it.”
MO Xiuchen’s handsome face went stony, his elegant brows lightly furrowed.
“I had something, haha, but not anymore. You can continue!”
Luo Haofeng laughed twice on the other end of the line and hung up before MO Xiuchen could respond.
On the couch, the haze in Wen Ran’s eyes gradually receded like a receding tide.
The flush on her face slowly subsided, and when she saw that MO Xiuchen had hung up, she asked with concern, “Is something wrong at the company?
MO Xiuchen put away his phone, his melancholy easing due to her. His features softened as he gently guided her up from the couch, saying tenderly, “Let’s go have dinner.”
To avoid her father’s constant nagging, Bai Xiaoxiao went all out, and today, she looked the most hideous she had in her more than twenty years of life.
She had indeed followed Luo Haofeng’s instructions and borrowed the dress the woman had worn yesterday.
The dress was of an extremely tacky ‘floral cotton-padded jacket’ fabric. She intentionally put on heavy makeup, and her red lips were like a gaping bloody mouth.
She even added a few black moles on her face, turning herself from a beauty into a monstrous creature.
She removed all her own jewelry and intentionally wore the accessories she had just bought from a roadside stall. Looking at the woman in the mirror, even Bai Xiaoxiao herself could barely stand to look at her appearance.
As soon as Bai Xiaoxiao entered the restaurant, she immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Ignoring the looks from the crowd, she glanced at Luo Haofeng seated at the back. Dressed casually, he looked handsome and elegant, undeniably a rich son of an affluent family.
“Mr. Luo, hello.”
Bai Xiaoxiao stopped in front of Luo Haofeng’s table and greeted him with a beaming smile.
As she spoke, she swiveled her red-painted fingers in front of his eyes, imitating Zhang Qiong’s usual behavior.
Luo Haofeng narrowed his eyes, leaning on his hand, appraising Bai Xiaoxiao leisurely from head to toe.
If he didn’t know that she would appear looking like this today, he wouldn’t have recognized that the tacky and pretentiously seductive woman in front of him was the same Bai Xiaoxiao who was always trendy and elegant.
Indeed, clothes make the woman!
In an instant, she went from being a noble socialite to an ugly woman worse than a country bumpkin, with a few large black moles on her face, making her look even uglier than the woman from yesterday.
Especially that mouth of hers, every time it opened, it looked like a bloody gaping mouth, ready to devour someone.
Feeling the eyes on him from all around, Luo Haofeng chuckled and started conversation, “Miss Bai, I see that you are really willing to put yourself through a lot. If you knew what would happen, then why act rashly in the first place?
Bai Xiaoxiao offered a dazzlingly ‘bright’ smile. Rather than caring about his words, it was more like she was treating them as nonsensical, as she waved her hand and took the seat across him.
“What would Mr. Luo like to eat? Today, dinner is my treat.”
Bai Xiaoxiao picked up the kettle on the table to pour water, her fingernails dipped in the water. But she seemed to not notice at all, as she put the filled glass in front of Luo Haofeng and said with a grin, “Mr. Luo, please have some water.”
Luo Haofeng frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over her water-drenched nails and coldly declined, “I’m not thirsty.”
Bai Xiaoxiao blinked, poured herself a cup, took a sip, and then asked again, “Mr. Luo, have you ordered yet?”
“Not yet!”
Luo Haofeng leaned back in his chair, his furrowed brows refusing to relax.
He had proposed this condition thinking that Bai Xiaoxiao would not agree, and even if she did, she would feel uncomfortable and irritated.
But he was wrong.
It seems that not only was Bai Xiaoxiao not bothered, but she also seemed to thoroughly enjoy the process of playing the role of an ugly woman.
Seeing her face as if about to burst into flower amidst the laughter, and considering her intentional dressing up, no matter how he looked at her, he just couldn’t feel pleased.
She intentionally provoked him, went really overboard with her act, discussing this restaurant’s signature dishes while waving her hand in his face.
He suddenly regretted his proposition.
Bai Xiaoxiao must have been intentionally disgusting him, she was just too engrossed.
While she was discussing, she kept touching him. Her manicured nails had been intentionally trimmed. He didn’t notice earlier, but now that her nails touched his skin, he felt a sudden sharp jab.
Upon closely inspecting it, his handsome face instantly turned angry, “Bai
Xiaoxiao, why are your nails trimmed like that?”
Bai Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, then protested coquettishly, “Are you talking about my nails? Mr. Luo, you find them pretty too, right? Look, I got them done very deliberately. I met a rogue a few days ago who dared to take advantage of me. Do you think I could let him get his way? After I got home, I got my nails done like this. If that rogue dares to mess with me again, I’ll scratch his face and ruin his looks!”
As she spoke, Bai Xiaoxiao deliberately extended her hand in front of him. Her beautiful nails that had been meticulously maintained for several months were ruthlessly ruined by her.
Each nail was trimmed in the shape of a little scissor, sharp enough to draw blood with a single prick.
She intentionally extended her nails towards Luo Haofeng’s face.
Barely a millimeter apart, Luo Haofeng frowned, pushing her away, “Stay away from me.”
Bai Xiaoxiao Douted. “Mr. Luo, how could vou not be gentle? You hurt me.” “Enough, Bai Xiaoxiao, stop the act!”
Finally unable to bear it, Luo Haofeng called a halt.
If Bai Xiaoxiao continued, he would either be grossed out to death or have his face scratched by her nails.
This wretched girl, she really went all out.
Bai Xiaoxiao widened her eyes in surprise, staring blankly at Luo Haofeng. Too engrossed in the act, she had forgotten that the dish hadn’t been ordered yet.
The waitress on the side had turned red from holding in her laughter. She just watched Luo Haofeng, “Mr. Luo, didn’t you ask me to dress up like this to seduce you? Is this not sufficient? Do I need to sit on your lap and have you tell me your preferences…”
“Bai Xiaoxiao, do you still want to sign the contract or not!”
Luo Haofeng scolded fiercely, his face dark.. The things Bai Xiaoxiao was saying, they were obviously meant to tell the people around them about his unique — taste!
