Chapter 213: Borrowing a Dress

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

This should be the first time the three of them met after winter break.

Murong Qiao opened the door to see Yang Xin and Leng Yan standing in front of her and she couldn’t help but smile.

“Qiaoqiao!” Yang Xin was always the first to pounce on Murong Qiao.

Leng Yan nodded as a response. “Long time no see.”

“Come in first. I’ll change my clothes,” Murong Qiao greeted.

The banquet was about to begin and she was about to put on her evening gown.

Seeing this, Uncle Yang did not disturb them and quietly retreated. Before he left, he even closed the door considerately.

The three girls gathered together again. The originally quiet room was filled with laughter and noise, and it suddenly became lively.

“Take a seat.” Murong Qiao led them in.

Then, she carried the gown to the washroom.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Yang Xin and Leng Yan subconsciously turned their gazes over and saw Murong Qiao slowly walking out in her gorgeous clothes.

The main character of this banquet was Murong Qiao and therefore the gown was also especially eye-catching. It was a classic princess style gown which swayed with her footsteps, and the light gauze covering it looked as beautiful and moving as the ripples on the water.

This gown accentuated her figure very much, but Murong Qiao’s own qualities were already outstanding, so when she wore this gown, it made her look even more graceful and curvy. Her waistline was also tucked in just right, perfectly emphasizing the ratio of her waist and hips. The design at the top also revealed her fair shoulders and beautiful collarbones, making people unable to take their eyes off her.

“Wow! Qiaoqiao, you’re so beautiful in this outfit!” Yang Xin blurted out in admiration.

The first time she saw Murong Qiao, she thought a princess had just walked out from a fairy tale.

“This gown suits you very well.” Leng Yan nodded in agreement.

She would occasionally read fashion magazines and find the models on the cover good-looking, but now that she saw Murong Qiao, she felt that Murong Qiao was obviously better-looking. Just her gown and face without makeup were enough to surpass those models.

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, Murong Qiao’s phone vibrated twice.

Murong Qiao reached out and took a look. It was a video call from Zheng Yue.

She didn’t think too much about it and answered the call in front of Leng Yan and Yang Xin.

“Qiaoqiao, can you lend me some clothes? I don’t have a suitable gown to attend…” Zheng Yue asked her with a blush.

From the perspective of Murong Qiao holding the cell phone, Zheng Yue, who was on the other end, could not see Yang Xin and Leng Yan beside her. Therefore, she thought that Murong Qiao was alone.

It wasn’t that Zheng Yue really didn’t have any clothes to wear. During this period of time, she had been attending various places with Nan Kang and Zheng Yue’s new dresses had already filled a closet. Some of them had even been worn once and left there without being touched again.

However, after picking and choosing, she felt that none of the clothes were worthy of this banquet. Seeing that the banquet was approaching, Zheng Yue thought of this method and asked Murong Qiao to lend her a gown.

Moreover, Murong Qiao’s clothes were definitely much better than hers and thus, Zheng Yue wanted to borrow them even more.

“Sure.” Murong Qiao naturally knew what Zheng Yue was thinking, so she agreed readily.

When Zheng Yue heard that she could lend her clothes, she hurriedly said that she would rush over and hung up.

Yang Xin and Leng Yan, who were sitting at the side and listening to the entire process, looked at each other. They had an indescribable feeling for Zheng Yue.

“I remember that she has a lot of beautiful clothes,” Leng Yan said.

Previously, when Zheng Yue found a job, she had worn new clothes several times. At that time, she did not avoid it in the dormitory, so the few of them knew about Zheng Yue’s closet.

Yang Xin was also puzzled. “Doesn’t she have a lot of beautiful dresses? Why must she borrow from Qiaoqiao?”

At this banquet, Yang Xin and Leng Yan were wearing their own clothes, so they didn’t think there was anything wrong. At this moment, when they saw Zheng Yue borrowing a dress from Murong Qiao, they felt strange.

Zheng Yue was no longer the poor Zheng Yue who needed them to ensure she didn’t go hungry. Now that she had a job, her quality of life had obviously improved. No matter how they thought about it, there didn’t seem to be a need to borrow Qiaoqiao’s clothes.

Murong Qiao didn’t say anything when she heard the two of them muttering. She knew Zheng Yue’s thoughts like the back of her hand.

Not long after, Zheng Yue arrived at the entrance of the Murong residence. After knocking on the door, she was brought to Murong Qiao’s cloakroom by Uncle Yang.

“Qiaoqiao, I’m here!” Zheng Yue immediately perked up when she saw Murong Qiao.

She quickly took two steps to Murong Qiao. After greeting her, she belatedly saw Yang Xin and Leng Yan standing at the side and the smile on her face suddenly became awkward.

Zheng Yue was initially focused on Murong Qiao. When she got closer, she realized that the other two were also there.

Due to what had happened previously, Zheng Yue and the two of them were not very close and did not talk much usually.

“Choose a gown.” Murong Qiao broke the awkward situation.

Zheng Yue did not forget her goal. When she heard Murong Qiao’s words, she smiled in embarrassment and looked at the cloakroom.

It was obvious that she couldn’t take her eyes off it. Murong Qiao’s cloakroom was as big as the two rooms she lived in. Every piece of clothing was placed in the dust proof cabinet like an exhibition. The warm yellow light shone on it, making Zheng Yue feel untouchable.

Every piece of clothing, even a small accessory, was placed there like a work of art.

“I think this one suits you very well, Zheng Yue.” Leng Yan pointed at a gown beside her.

The light green gown had a restrained style, while Zheng Yue’s figure was flat and her appearance was more gentle. Coupled with this dress, it improved her temperament very much. Murong Qiao took a look and felt that Leng Yan’s suggestion was very pertinent.

Yang Xin felt that she didn’t have much taste, but she trusted Leng Yan whose aesthetic views had always been good.

“I also think this one suits you very well,” Yang Xin echoed.

Because Zheng Yue’s personality was usually more introverted, it might be better to try out a fresh style.

“This one?” Zheng Yue looked over.

She took a look at the light green color and felt that it was a little plain. She knew she was not as beautiful as Murong Qiao to begin with and therefore if she dressed more low-key, wouldn’t it be even less compatible with her?

With this thought in mind, Zheng Yue shook her head slightly and looked at another item.

“I like this one better.” She stood in front of the gown she’d chosen.

The dazzling diamond decorations on it instantly captured Zheng Yue’s heart. The design of this gown was gorgeous and complicated. Its classical style was solemn and elegant, making Zheng Yue fall in love with it almost at a glance.

If she could wear this dress, she would definitely be the most beautiful person present.

“As long as you like it.” Murong Qiao saw the desire in Zheng Yue’s eyes clearly.

From Zheng Yue’s choice, she could tell what she was thinking. Murong Qiao didn’t say if it was suitable or not and just nodded along with her words with a hint of imperceptible laissez-faire.

Murong Qiao smiled and took out the dress from the wardrobe before placing it in Zheng Yue’s hand and pointed in the direction of the changing room.

Seeing Zheng Yue deny the suggestion, Yang Xin was a little angry. She looked at Zheng Yue’s back silently.

Seeing that Zheng Yue didn’t listen to her suggestion, Leng Yan didn’t say anything else. After all, it was up to her own choice.

As for whether it was suitable or not, she would know at the banquet.

While the four of them were talking, the banquet below had already begun.

“I’ll go down first,” Murong Qiao said to the two of them.

Zheng Yue was still changing her clothes, but Murong Qiao couldn’t wait to see Huo Yichen, so she wanted to go down now. Hence, she left after saying a few words to Leng Yan and Yang Xin.

She lifted her skirt and walked out. When she reached the stairs, she saw Huo Yichen standing below..
