Chapter 184: Ball

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As this was a small ball, there wouldnt be many people present. Other than those who were close to each other, each family only needed a representative. Therefore, the s.h.i.+ familys makeup team didnt come to the house to do their makeup. Instead, s.h.i.+ Yi was in charge of their makeup.

s.h.i.+ Yi helped s.h.i.+ Xiao with his makeup first before going to Yuan Shus room to help her with her makeup. As s.h.i.+ Xiao waited for them downstairs, he dealt with some company matters.

After about an hour, s.h.i.+ Xiao looked at the time. If they didnt set off soon, they might be late.

After he looked up at the stairs again, he was about to ask Li Yue to go upstairs and call them when the door to Yuan Shus room opened.

Because Yuan Shus dress was dragging on the floor, it was a little inconvenient to walk, so s.h.i.+ Yi supported her as they slowly walked down the stairs.

When s.h.i.+ Xiao heard footsteps, he put down the doc.u.ments in his hand and stood up to look at the stairs.

As the two of them slowly walked down the stairs, Yuan Shus beautiful peony dress mesmerized s.h.i.+ Xiao. The impact of the colors and the arc of the cotton gauze swayed with her footsteps, like a gorgeous and colorful peony painting slowly unfolding. She was so beautiful that she was simply breathtaking.

When the two of them completely appeared in s.h.i.+ Xiaos vision, Yuan Shus dignified face gradually became clear. s.h.i.+ Xiao was actually stunned for a moment.

In ancient times, the elegance of a princess symbolized the prosperity of a country. For a moment, s.h.i.+ Xiao felt that Yuan Shu was like a proud peony that symbolized the s.h.i.+ familys prosperity.

Brother? s.h.i.+ Yi called out to s.h.i.+ Xiao twice with a playful smile on her face, and there was a hint of teasing in her eyes. She didnt expect her usually serious brother to fall head over heels for her sister-in-law.

After s.h.i.+ Xiao came back to his senses, he coughed to hide his embarra.s.sment. Then, he took out a gift box from his hand. Inside, there was a set of rose gold jewelry that had just been mailed from overseas.

He said to Yuan Shu, Wear this.

Yuan Shu took the gift box and opened it to take a look. Before she could react, s.h.i.+ Yi was shocked. Brother, this set of jewelry has just been on a fas.h.i.+on show and its on the trending searches. It hasnt even been sold in the country yet. It can be said that you cant buy it even if you have money, but you actually got it!

s.h.i.+ Xiao frowned. What did she mean by that? Why did these words sound so awkward?

He ignored s.h.i.+ Yi and walked towards the door. Lets go. The c.o.c.ktail party is about to start.

Yuan Shu nodded slightly and followed behind s.h.i.+ Xiao. s.h.i.+ Yi helped her out.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony in the hospital ended, everyone rushed to the five-star hotel beside the hospital. s.h.i.+ Xiao and the others went straight to the hotel.

As soon as they entered the banquet hall on the second floor of the hotel, they saw Liu Lan entertaining guests.

Liu Lan had just welcomed a wave of guests and brought them to the banquet hall. When she turned around and saw Yuan Shu, her eyes lit up. She was also stunned by Yuan Shus appearance today.

Other than Liu Lan, everyone elses gazes were also focused on Yuan Shu.

Her gorgeous dress made everyones eyes light up with envy. Yuan Shu had a nice figure to begin with and her posture was good as well. She didnt have a designer bag on her shoulders. This gorgeous gown was simply the icing on the cake.

Yuan Shus thick black hair was tied into a bun that s.h.i.+ Yi had specifically styled.

The jewelry Yuan Shu was wearing was made of rose gold, and was designed by the most famous brand designer in Europe. It wasnt listed on the domestic market yet, but it was worn by Yuan Shu, so it could be seen how powerful the s.h.i.+ family was.

The rumors about s.h.i.+ Xiao and Yuan Shu not getting along well were dispelled at this moment. This was the first time s.h.i.+ Xiao and Yuan Shu appeared together after returning to the country, so many people were looking forward to this gala and thought that this seemingly harmonious couple would definitely make a fool of themselves at the gala. Now that they saw Yuan Shus outfit, they felt disappointment..
