Reincarnation: Multi-skilled Goddess Is So Beautiful Novel! - Chapter 446
Chapter 446: Queen-like Aura
The clothes Lu Jingye got people to prepare for Zi Yi were a trouser suit outfit. The outfit came with a pair of wide trousers coupled with a slim, sleeveless pendant top and a long fashion suit coat.
The coat came with a big belt that was meant to be tied around the waist and it was dotted with some exquisite crushed diamonds, which made the clothes look exceptionally high class.
Other than this, corresponding jewelry and a custom-made ladies’ watch were also prepared.
Zi Yi tied her hair into a high ponytail.
The woman reflected in the mirror had her lips slightly pursed and she instantly gave off the aura of a queen.
She then pulled open the drawers of her dresser, took out the cosmetics that she rarely used, enhanced her eyebrows, and applied some lipstick.
When Zi Yi came downstairs, Dou Xiangling, who was standing in the living room, was simply stunned at her appearance.
“Yiyi, you…”
Zi Yi was wearing a pair of silver stilettos and with every step, clacking sounds could be heard and the steps seemed to reverberate in Dou Xiangling’s heart.
She smiled and said, “With how you’re dressed up tonight, are you planning to overpower all the ladies?”
Zi Yi quirked her eyebrows and the queen-like aura she gave off had transformed into that of a life-like, bewitching enchantress.
Dou Xiangling pressed her hand to her forehead and said with emotional distress, “Yiyi, is it really alright for you to attend the dinner banquet dressed like that?”
“What’s wrong with what I’m wearing?”
When Zi Yi walked down the stairs, the crushed diamonds around her waist reflected a dazzling light due to the lights around the living room. Dou Xiangling felt that her eyes were dazzled by the bright light.
Her cousin was already unbelievably beautiful when she wore simple clothes. Now that she had dressed up, honestly speaking, other women could not compare at all.
Zi Yi walked over to Dou Xiangling and purposely poked her cheeks. “Cousin, your cheeks have turned red.”
Dou Xiangling lightly slapped her hand away and said, “If you are to maintain your queen-like aura, I think all the women will turn red at the sight of you.”
Speaking of this, she could not help but chuckle.
“But if you maintain the aura that you exuded earlier. You won’t have to worry about other men trying to hit on you at the Lu Family’s dinner banquet. However, provided that you don’t blink.”
Zi Yi said with a frown. “Being able to refrain from blinking is a skill I don’t have.”
Hearing what she said, Dou Xiangling could not restrain herself and burst out laughing.
Zi Yi then offered Dou Xiangling the crook of her arm and she subconsciously reached out to grab it.
The two of them made their way to the doors.
The housekeeper who came out of the kitchen with a lunchbox was also momentarily stunned when he saw Zi Yi’s appearance.
He then pointed at the lunch box and said, “Miss Zi, the Second Young Master has tasked me to prepare some snacks for you and you can have them in the car.”
When he said that, he could not help but think deep down, “When the Second Young Master sees how Miss Zi looks, I wonder if he will regret letting her wear that?”
“Thank you.”
The three of them headed outside together to the courtyard.
There was already a car parked outside and Zi Yi looked at the housekeeper in surprise.
“I got them to drive the car from the other villa. Miss Zi and Miss Dou, you can have the snacks in the car.”
The housekeeper was so thoughtful that Zi Yi had nothing much to request.
After the car drove out, Zi Yi pulled out a small table, opened the lunch box, and started eating with Dou Xiangling.
The housekeeper had gotten the kitchen to prepare several different types of snacks and all of them were rather filling.
Dou Xiangling ate a few pieces and smiled. “After eating these snacks, I won’t have to be worried about going hungry during the dinner banquet.”
The car drove into the Dou Family residence. The members of the family who were attending tonight’s banquet, were already waiting in the courtyard.
Her Four Uncles along with their wives, coupled with Dou Yunhao and Dou Xiangling would be attending tonight.
Dou Xiangling went into the house to change her clothes.
The four madams then circled around Zi Yi.
The First Madam was somewhat worried. “Our Yiyi is too beautiful and I wonder how many people will be enchanted by you now that you’ve dressed up.”
The Second Madam smiled and said, “What’s there to worry about? We are all Yiyi’s bodyguards tonight and to whomever dares to have designs on her, I’ll make it so that they dare not come out to meet people in the future.”
The Third Madam said, “Zi Yi looks good in trousers and it’s also more convenient to walk around.”
The Fourth Madam then said, “When meeting with those scheming women, it’s more convenient to wear trousers.”
When the Fourth Madam said that, the rest could not help but laugh.
Dou Jingning spoke up then. “When we arrive at the dinner banquet, try to stick with us as much as possible. If someone wants to talk to you alone, you should come and inform us.”
There were many attendees tonight and the Dou Family was actually worried. After all, Zi Yi had also done several ‘great things’ when she arrived in the capital.
Zi Yi obediently nodded her head. “Uncles and Aunts, you don’t have to worry. I know what to do.”
She only wanted to meet with Patriarch Lu and as long as other people didn’t provoke her, she would never take the initiative to cause trouble.
How could the Dou Family not worry about Zi Yi? She had a beautiful appearance and they were worried that someone would try to hit on her with some underhanded means.
After Dou Xiangling changed into her evening dress, the group of people set off.
The Lu Family’s main residence was transformed from the usual former style of the General’s House and there were even two mighty-looking lions at the entrance.
Outside the gate was even a group of armed guards.
All the cars who arrived had to drive to the parking lot outside and make their way inside on foot.
There were many people entering one after another. When everyone saw that the professors from the Dou Family had all come, they were all surprised.
In addition, when they saw Zi Yi walking beside the professors, there were also many who were stunned.
No one knew that Zi Yi had been invited and some of the wives and madams started to discuss in private at the sight of her.
“The Dou Family even brought Zi Yi along!”
“What is the Dou Family trying to do? Patriarch Lu organized this dinner banquet and so does she even have the right to come here in the first place?”
“Ha, she’s merely a sparrow and she even dressed up tonight. Does she think that just based on her appearance, Patriarch Lu will take a liking to her and allow her to be with Lu Jingye?”
Even though many wives and madams had said that, they did not forget to inform the unmarried ladies in their family to keep an eye on Zi Yi and prevent her from stealing the limelight.
Even though they do not think Zi Yi was capable of anything, she was honestly beautiful. Coupled with how she had dressed up tonight, she still gave off an invisible pressure to the rest of them.
The women looked at her warily while the men could not shift their gazes away from the moment they laid their eyes on her.
If not for the four men from the Dou Family, who had stern expressions on their faces, perhaps someone might have already approached her to strike up a conversation.
After the Dou Family entered through the main gate, the sounds of discussions were even louder.
He Fei, who had just alighted from the car, looked at the back view of Zi Yi, who had entered through the gates, and his eyes nearly popped out.
“Fourth Brother, why did you stop?”
He Yingying looked at the door and raised her voice. “Don’t tell me you still like that woman named Zi Yi?”
Her tone of voice sounded sour. “That Zi woman is definitely trying to seduce Second Brother by dressing up like that tonight. She’s so shameless.”
He Fei looked at his youngest cousin and frowned discontentedly. He then shook off her hand on his elbow and said, “Go in with Big Brother. I still have to wait for Ah Ming.”
He Yingying was unhappy about that. “Fourth Brother, how can you do this? You’re closer to Second Brother and Uncle told you to take me in with you.”
He Fei furrowed his eyebrows and said with a fierce expression, “Go in if you want to, or go back if you don’t..”
