Li Beijue didn’t give Chi Enen a chance to answer, he grasped her hand tightly and dragged her out.
Chi Enen’s palm ached from his grip, but unclear on what was setting him off, she endured and didn’t pull away.
Don’t be angry, she won’t be angry… Baby Chi was still in his hands, she couldn’t afford to be… She had to talk to him calmly… It would be best to appeal to his emotions and reason with him to get Baby Chi back…
Having steeled herself mentally, the pain in her wrist no longer seemed all that significant.
Li Beijue pulled her to a door on the Third Floor, suddenly let go, hands in his pockets, his demeanor frosty, “There’s a Celebration banquet in an hour, you’ll attend with me. I’ve arranged for Huo Yi to set up a makeup artist for you, go inside. I’ll come fetch you in 40 minutes.”
Li Beijue had no intention of listening to her; after speaking, he turned away with a cold face.
Forget it, she’d talk to him about Baby Chi after the banquet! But she had never been to a proper banquet before, could she really handle it?
Chi Enen bit her lip and pushed the door open, no longer bothering with the doubts.
As expected, about a dozen people were waiting inside the room. As soon as she entered, their gazes collectively shifted to her. The person in charge reacted the quickest, stood up immediately, and approached her, “You’re Miss Chi, right? Hello, I’m Nico, your styling director for this event. We’re running short on time as per Butler IIuo’s instructions, so let’s not delay any further, Miss Chi. Please change into your clothes first. After that, we’ll start styling you right away.”
“I didn’t bring any clothes…”
“Don’t worry about that, Young Master Li has instructed us to bring gowns for you.”
In the right-hand corner of the room, someone drew back a curtain to reveal several beautiful gowns neatly hung on a rack, awaiting selection.
“Which style do you prefer, Miss Chi?” Nico asked with palms pressed together and a cordial smile.
Chi Enen frankly admitted, “1 don’t really have any knowledge or style in this area.”
Nico’s scrutinizing gaze swept over her, confirming she spoke the truth. Chi Enen was dressed in her own purchases, all cheap internet bargains. While she had a decent air about her, claiming that she could make these inexpensive pieces look like several hundred thousand worth of haute couture was pure boast.
“Miss Chi has a slight frame, fair skin, and good body proportions. Personally, I think you would suit something with a bit more ‘immortal spirit’. This one, take a look, do you like it?”
Chi Enen turned to the dress she brought out; the lake blue gauze and embroidery made the skirt as mesmerizing as mist, with bright small blue flowers adorning the V-neck at the back, it was certainly eye-catching.
Who wouldn’t like pretty clothes?
Chi Enen fell for the skirt at first glance, “It’s beautiful.”
With a beaming smile, Nico held the skirt up against her and sweet-talked her, “When you wear it, it will be even more beautiful.”
“…” Chi Enen was no fool; she could tell the difference between genuine compliments and insincere flattery and didn’t respond.
“Let’s settle on this one then, Miss Chi. Could you try it on first?” After saying this, Nico directed someone to guide her towards a makeshift fitting room on the side..
