Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Isnt this the genius girl from the Song family?

Isnt that so? Is she obsessing over someone elses gown because she fancies it?

As the crowd started to whisper and discuss, every word they said made Song s.h.i.+ feel exasperated.

She gripped the hem of her dress tightly and fled while there werent that many people watching.

She was prideful and would never allow others to talk about her like this.

After this farce ended, although Yuan Shu didnt have any reaction, Liu Lan could tell that she had something on her mind, so Liu Lan patted Yuan Shus shoulder. Its getting late. Why dont you go back first?

Yuan Shu frowned slightly. Then, she glanced at Liu Lan and nodded indifferently.

s.h.i.+ Xiao, who was standing at the side, looked at Yuan Shu meaningfully. To be precise, he was looking at the dress she was wearing.

The two of them didnt speak. s.h.i.+ Xiao continued to hug Yuan Shus waist as he bid farewell to Liu Lan politely. Then, he walked out of the banquet hall under everyones gaze.

Liu Lan stayed behind to deal with the aftermath and explained to everyone that the farce just now was just a joke, and that she hoped that it wouldnt affect everyones mood. Then, she let the ball continue.

When Zhao Cheng saw the two of them coming out, he parked the car in front of the hotel. After the waiter opened the door and the two of them got into the car, Zhao Cheng said, Miss s.h.i.+ Yi wasnt feeling well, so she went home first.

s.h.i.+ Xiao nodded. Lets go back too.

Yes, Zhao Cheng replied and started the car to drive in the direction of the villa.

Yuan Shu stared out of the window calmly. The streets were only illuminated by the dim street lamps. The bright and dark lights cast flickering shadows on her face, and the peony flowers on her body emitted a faint fluorescent light under the light.

Now, Yuan Shu realized that the silk threads used to make this peony gown were made of silk mixed with gold and silver threads. Then, exquisite flowers were embroidered after that. No wonder it reflected under the light.

s.h.i.+ Xiao also noticed the glowing peony flower. It seemed that the person who gave the gown had indeed put in a lot of effort. He even noticed such a small detail. This wasnt a design that could be thought of in a short period of time. It must have taken a long time to make this gown.

s.h.i.+ Xiao asked, Do you really not know who gave you this gown?

There was doubt in Yuan Shus eyes as she turned her head slightly to look at him. Do you think I should know?

Yuan Shu straightened her body and looked into the dark night as she continued, s.h.i.+ Xiao, whether you believe me or not, I never lie. I dont know where this dress came from, nor do 1 know who designed it.

I believe you. s.h.i.+ Xiao didnt probe further. Instead, his tone was very firm. He wasnt trying to deceive Yuan Shu, but he really believed her.

Yuan Shu was stunned and stared at s.h.i.+ Xiao. She was touched for a moment when he said he believed her.

It was as if Yuan Shu was the one who had never trusted her companion.

She would always guess s.h.i.+ Xiaos intentions and try to escape unscathed every time he probed her. She didnt even hesitate to argue with him in order to end all his endless probing.

But in fact, s.h.i.+ Xiao retreated every time.

He only asked questions that he was curious about. When he couldnt get the answer he wanted, he never asked further. He chose to respect Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu felt a little guilty and touched by his belief in her, so she said calmly, Thank you.

Yuan Shu was finally willing to let down her guard and treat s.h.i.+ Xiao as a business partner.

s.h.i.+ Xiao smiled faintly. This time, his smile came from the bottom of his heart. He said, Youre welcome.

Right on the heels of that, he became serious again as he said, Ive checked carefully. This dress was sent from the Jiang familys residence. Zheng Tian placed it at the entrance of a mall and asked the courier to pick it up. The two of them only communicated by phone, so the courier didnt know who sent it.. Yuan Shu, have you really never seen Jiang Chen before?
