Once she entered the bathroom, she practically changed her clothes at the quickest speed .
He had prepared rather sufficiently . Even the shoes and accessories were paired and it did save her quite some time . She swiftly put on the clothes and accessories, and casually tied her hair into a beautiful bun, holding it up with the chosen hairpin . Then, she put on simple and light makeup .
She was very quick, and without any elaborate adornment either . Everything was settled within the blink of an eye .
When she looked at herself in the mirror, Xi Xiaye was a little shocked . With this dress on her, she almost could not recognize herself . The gown was very suitable and with such delicate accessories that matched it well, she looked gorgeous .
She was dazed for a while, then she snapped back after a moment . When she saw the wound that was vaguely exposed on her shoulder, she instantly frowned again .
Mu Yuchen had chosen a dress that covered her chest . However, even though the left side of it had been specially adjusted and it came with a shawl of the same color, it did not seem to completely cover up her wound .
Just as her beautiful brows were knotted in her dilemma, the bathroom door suddenly swung open . She followed the source of the sound and noticed Mu Yuchen already walking in with huge strides .
He examined her slightly and could not hide how she took his breath away . However, he very quickly returned to his senses, looked down, and quietly studied the wound on her left shoulder that could not be entirely hidden .
There was some dimness in her eyes; it seemed to be a sadness that was hard to hold back . She fell silent for a while and then said sorrowfully, “I think it's best I just wear my work suit . I'm afraid I won't be able to wear a dress like this for the rest of my life…”
It was not a bad thing to be working so hard . The doctor had already told her very clearly then that the wound would leave a scar . Even though she did not pick at the healing pad, she knew that it must be just as the doctor said .
When he saw her fatigued expression instantly go pale, it made his heart sink . His eyes held pity for her . He reached out with his arm and could not help but pull her into a hug into his embrace as he scolded softly, “That's enough . How big of an issue is this? Isn't it just a little wound? There'll be a way to make it fade . ”
Even though he was scolding her, his tone did not sound reprimanding at all .
As he said this, she suddenly saw him lift a hand . A cool and almost flirtatious sapphire blue rose entered her sight . It was a blossoming sapphire blue rose .
He lowered his head and bent over slightly . Very carefully and earnestly, he put the blossoming blue rose in his hand to her chest, the blossoming and flirtatiously beautiful petals instantly covering the wound that showed .
He meticulously arranged it for a while and fixed her shawl before straightening up and watching her in satisfaction . He chuckled . “Just like that . Isn't it all good now?”
Xi Xiaye lowered her head slightly took and looked towards her left shoulder . The wound had been completely hidden whilst the cold and beautiful petals blended into the dress on her, appearing very compatible .
Her twinkling eyes suddenly became distracted as she quietly looked on… and on…
Then, her eyes suddenly heated up and she felt something in her throat . Faint flickering sparkles appeared in her vision and she could not help but turn her head away to blink hard .
She did not say anything for quite a while .
He thought she was still upset about the wound, so he went over to hold her by the shoulder and said calmly, “Enough now . Moderation is key . If there'll be a scar, then let there be a scar especially since you just let me look while you strip when I didn't even say anything . So, what are you worried for?”
Initially, she felt somewhat upset and moved, yet when he said this, she suddenly felt embarrassed and forgot all about being upset . She immediately turned her head and blinked her eyes with flickering sparkles of droplets in them . Glaring at him, she said angrily as she felt shameful, “How vulgar!”
Mu Yuchen's eyes twinkled . He returned her glare with an objection, his expression extremely calm and distant as he answered disapprovingly, “I'm just telling the truth . Don't you think it is?”
Xi Xiaye looked a little speechless and then she rolled her eyes .
This man is really able to completely turn my emotions upside down . Initially, I should've been…
She could not be bothered with him . Unable to stand his sly and unfathomable gaze, she turned around and walked out of the door . “It's about time . If we don't go now, we'll be late . ”
When he saw her walk out the door in a huff, he chuckled without a word . He stared at her slender figure for quite a while then slowly followed after .
“Master, Missus!”
Once the door was opened, Ah Mo who was outside immediately walked up . When he saw Xi Xiaye walk out while holding the hem of her dress up, his eyes lit up . He subconsciously turned to look at Li Si who looked stunned as well . He turned blank .
“Let's go . ” Mu Yuchen's voice sounded, his eyes sweeping across Ah Mo and Li Si who could not help but feel a sudden chill down their backs . They then quietly lowered their heads…
While at this moment, the International Exhibition Centre was already filled with guests, it was bustling all over the place .
Soothing and gentle music filled the venue while experienced waiters shuttled back and forth serving tea and finger food . The host up front was testing the microphone and on both sides of the super huge screens, they were playing a promotional video of the different departments in Glory World Corporation .
Congratulatory greetings went around the room .
The several VIP tables up front were slowly filling with people . However, the one most important had yet to arrive though just like how big shot celebrities who were invited usually appeared last . The crowd did not forget that this launch was meant to announce Glory World Corporation's determination in advancing into the showbiz industry as well .
In the guest seats up front, there were many well-known directors and people-in-charge of movie and television companies . The reporters had also gone through strict screening, and only several media houses earned the right to enter .
A competition among those in show business might happen right there really soon .
As the time closed in, the atmosphere suddenly became exciting and everyone was looking forward to it . Even the venue music changed to slightly more upbeat Latin music .
Outside the venue, many fans of movie stars and singers also knew about this launch, so they rushed over and gathered outside . Unfortunately, they were stopped outside the protective fence next to the stairs by the security staff .
Both sides of the carpark were filled with cars . There was a vast crowd on both sides of the staircase as many had gone over just to catch the excitement too .
A silver luxury limousine sped in, slowly stopping in front of the stairs .
The car door quickly opened .
“It's CEO Zhou . He's finally here!”
Zhang Lan personally walked down the stairs to greet him respectfully .
The person who came was Zhou Zimo, their Master's good friend . He was the young one in power of Zhou Corporation and he was very well-known in the business circle too .
