Chapter 884
It was only for Xiao Xue that she decided to attend the class reunion . As for the others, she was unwilling to pay any attention to them .
“Alright, I’ll listen to you,” said Mu Yazhe .
Only then was she satisfied .
She was quite apprehensive, actually .
After all, she had no affection for those former classmates of hers . She only wished to become a wallflower and be ignored by them until the end, and then she would retreat after the meal .
Her main purpose was to keep an eye of Gao Nan . It would be best if she could find a chance for her friend to see the man’s true colors .
She returned to her room to select a dress, but the clothes Qin Zhou had people pick out for her were too eye-catching .
To keep a low profile, she purposely selected a snowy-white dress, matching it with a denim vest .
Changing in this dress, she stepped out of the room and walked up to him . She tugged at her dress’s hem unnaturally . “Look; is this dress okay?”
“So plain?”
He frowned, apparently dissatisfied . “It’s too plain and not nice . ”
“It’s not a fashion dinner; it’s just a regular class gathering; there’s no need to be so fussy about the attire! Simple is good . ” That was what she thought .
The man, however, disagreed . “Despite that, your clothes should look good, generous, and dignified . The one you’re wearing now makes you look… too young . ”
At first glance, she looked like a high school student; it did not match her demeanor at all .
“The clothes in my wardrobe… are too revealing, though . They’re all selected by my manager for dinner parties; they’re not appropriate to be worn at a class reunion . ”
He did not believe her and went to select one for her .
However, it turned out to be just as what she said; the clothes were all either revealing her back or her chest, and they were all fashion dresses to be worn at dinner parties .
Hence, he drove her down to the shopping center and went to the counter to pick a socialite style organza dress, which revealed only the shoulders .
The dress was form-fitting and showed off her figure .
Its wine-red color contrasted with her fair skin, making her look much slimmer . The dress was also low-key but still looked expensive; it would not stand out much in a class gathering but would also not be overshadowed in a bevy of well-dressed women .
She also found it to be appropriate .
The time was nearing six o’clock, and at this time, there usually was a traffic congestion on the road .
It was time for them to set off .
Thus, she proposed, “Shall we call for a taxi?”
“Why do we need to take a taxi?”
He was perplexed .
He drove his car out today, so why did they still need to take a taxi?
“You’re… driving a sports car . ”
It’s too high profile .
The man broke into laughter . “Why do you need to be so careful?”
“Because…”
Her eyelids drooped, a flash of complexity appearing in her eyes, but she did not intend to hide it from him . “When I was in college, someone slandered me saying I’m a canary kept by the rich, so… I want to keep a low profile, lest I attract gossip again . I don’t want to be misunderstood!”
Even if she ostensibly cared not for others’ thought of her, but could one really not mind?
She still felt a little distraught at the debasement and slander she had suffered in university .
She really minded it a lot and was very much hurt by those gossips .
He was startled at this and reached out to rub her hair comfortingly . “It’s different now . ”
“Hm?”
“I will be around . ” He gave her a gentle smile, his eyes filled with love . These mere four words made her feel greatly at ease .
