"Oh, I’m exhausted!"
As soon as Liu nglin walked in, she violently kicked off the high heels she’d been wearing all morning by the shoe cabinet at the door, tossed her new Chanel bag aside, and flopped heavily onto the sofa. She spread her arms and legs without a hint of ladylike grace, gazing dazedly at the ceiling with a satisfied expression on her face.
Ye Wen, who walked in with her, rolled her eyes dramatically: "You have the nerve to say that. We’ve been shopping non-stop, went through the whole mall, and even had to scour nearby shops for bargains. I’m really impressed!"
With that, she dumped all the big and small bags she was carrying onto the coffee table, then plopped down on the edge of the sofa, rubbing her swollen and aching calves irritably: "Look at the ti, it’s almost two in the afternoon. I haven’t even had lunch yet."
Liu nglin, with her head on the cushion, flicked her wavy chestnut hair over the side of the sofa, shifting to a slightly more comfortable position. Hearing her best friend’s complaint, she gave a speechless expression as if to say, "Like it’s my fault": "Oh please, who was it that said outside food isn’t as good as Huang Tao’s cooking and didn’t want to eat out?"
"Wen, don’t tell you never said that!"
That statent left Ye Wen speechless and unable to refute!
After all, she really had said that.
But it was the truth too!
How can outside food compare to Huang Tao’s cooking?!
Not to ntion, if you end up with sothing bad, it’s like paying to suffer!
But in the end, isn’t it because of you?!
If you had wrapped up shopping earlier, we could’ve gone to Huang Tao’s place for lunch and wouldn’t be starving now.
As if reading her mind, Liu nglin dramatically sighed, "Besides, wasn’t I shopping today all for you? I gave up my day off, ti with my family, and even going back to the office just to help you buy pretty clothes, shoes, and bags. I poured my heart and soul into your makeover mission, and now, not only do I have nothing to eat or drink, but I’m also laden with complaints..."
She added a "Doesn’t your conscience hurt saying that?" expression for effect.
Ye Wen: "..."
"Look at my calves, they’ve gotten so much slimr from all this walking!"
Liu nglin gently lifted her slender, beautiful leg wrapped in sheer crystal stockings and placed it on Ye Wen’s thigh, her fingers softly caressing her own leg before gently placing it on Ye Wen’s lap.
Trying to make Ye Wen’s beautiful eyes appreciate how her legs had slimd for her benefit.
And to remind her of her hard work!
When things finally work out between her friend and Huang Tao...
Liu nglin will be hailed as a major contributor!
She’s confident her friend wouldn’t forget her help.
And with that...
A lifelong free al ticket would finally be in hand!
Ye Wen was well aware of her friend’s little sches but didn’t call her out because Liu nglin’s intentions were for her good!
Their heartfelt talk from the day before was still fresh in her mind!
She rembered when Liu nglin gently patted her shoulder: "Wen, if you like Huang Tao, why not be bolder, more direct?"
She had hesitated when she heard that.
But Liu nglin had rarely been so serious: "Sotis opportunities lost are lost forever. I’m confident in my people-reading skills; Huang Tao is a decent guy. And with my keen eye for n, he seems to have a tiny bit of interest in you too!"
She bit her lip: "But..."
"But what?"
Liu nglin imdiately understood her worries: "Is it because Huang Tao’s a single dad? Are you worried about your family’s approval? Honestly, I don’t think that matters. What matters is if you can be sincere with each other."
"In a vast sea of people, finding soone you like and who likes you back isn’t easy. You should seize the opportunity, don’t let a beautiful relationship slip away!"
"But..."
Ye Wen fiddled with the hem of her clothes, hesitating: "I feel like he doesn’t even have any intention of pursuing . I can’t just chase after him, can I?"
Liu nglin couldn’t help but roll her eyes: "Oh, co on, you’re so old-fashioned! What era are we in? Does it really matter who chases who? As they say, when a man pursues a woman, there’s a mountain; when a woman pursues a man, it’s just a veil. As long as you’re proactive, as long as you try, you’ll definitely win him over."
"Wen, don’t underestimate yourself. Trust , no man can resist your charm."
"So go ahead and love boldly!"
Thanks to Liu nglin’s encouragent, she found the courage to pursue love.
Therefore...
She wanted to start by changing her look a bit, so she invited Liu nglin to shop for clothes today, wanting to look her best when she t Huang Tao.
"Alright, alright, you’ve worked hard. There’s bread and drinks in the fridge, help yourself!"
With that, she pushed Liu nglin’s beautiful leg off her lap.
"You’re letting eat just this?"
Liu nglin rolled her eyes dramatically, then hopped up, wrapped her arms around Ye Wen’s, and playfully whined, "Wen! Hurry up and make your move, win over your dream guy Huang Tao, so he can cook for us!"
"I’m not wanting to be with him just so he can cook for us."
Ye Wen imdiately retorted.
She liked Huang Tao.
It’s just pure liking, without any ulterior motives.
After all, Huang Tao is just her type.
Taller than 1.8 ters, distinctive features, mature and handso, good personality too.
Although there might have been a tiny bit of selfishness at the start, after several encounters, she knew she completely fell for him, liked Huang Tao.
And that kind of liking is just pure emotional affection!
"Alright, I know you’re husband-obsessed, and you’re not even with him yet!"
Liu nglin clutched her rather full chest and lanted, "Ah, after so many years of raising a daughter, now she has hearts and eyes only for another man, my heart hurts..."
Ye Wen: "..."
She pretended to be angry and said, "You’re not getting dinner tonight."
"No, daddy, I’m sorry, I was just joking just now..."
Liu nglin wrapped her arm around Ye Wen’s shoulder and begged with a grin, "You know, I’m all for you flirting with him!"
"I’m not bantering with you, I’m going to go change clothes."
Ye Wen took the spoils she acquired this morning and slipped into the bedroom.
This 80 square ter, two-bedroom apartnt, was a cozy little nest provided by Ye Wen’s parents.
It’s very close to the Golden Sun Kindergarten, just a five or six-minute walk.
Buying this place was to make commuting easier for her.
For now, she lives here alone.
Back in the bedroom, she picked out clothes from her spoils to wear later.
"This dress..."
Gazing at herself in the mirror, she frowned slightly and shook her head, saying, "It’s nice, but isn’t it too formal?"
The dress she was wearing at the mont, just bought from the mall, was the latest winter style from so brand, both the style and texture were great, well-suited to highlight her nearly perfect figure.
But still!
This dress was more suitable for formal occasions, wearing it outside would attract too much attention.
Thinking it over, she changed into a cashre turtleneck sweater and paired it with black wide-leg pants, feeling it was more low-key.
But would this be too plain?
"Oh dear, what pants should I wear today, I should be wearing a skirt to catch his eye!"
Liu nglin stood at the door, munching on bread, shaking her head, saying, "Wear that burgundy set dress, and rember to pair it with black stockings. I’m telling you, no man can resist the charm of black stockings."
Ye Wen shot her a look that said, "Even eating can’t shut your mouth," then closed the door and locked it.
Now, the world was finally quiet!
In the end, she obediently followed her best friend’s advice and changed into another outfit.
A burgundy short top paired with a matching short skirt, black sheer tights, the overall style was slightly mature, but she wore it with a touch of girlish charm.
The material of the coat and skirt was fine and warm, complenting her good figure and face, making her look more fashionable and charming.
Satisfied!
She looked in the mirror, a charming curve forming at the corner of her lips.
Seeing it was getting late, she stuffed her phone into her bag, then checked herself in the mirror one last ti before heading to the door.
But just a few seconds later, Li nglin ca back, picked up a beret, and put it on.
Next, she took out lip balm from her bag, applied so in front of the mirror, touched up her makeup, tidied her hair, and walked out of the bedroom, satisfied.
She said to Liu nglin, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching a drama, "ng Lin, I’m ready, we can go."
Liu nglin glanced up approvingly, making a tsk-tsk sound, "Wow, not bad, with this outfit, you’re sure to sweep a lot of n off their feet."
Ugh~
Who cares about sweeping lots of n off their feet...
As long as she could sweep Huang Tao off his feet...
