[Lin Xiaowan: 1 attended Fashion Week with my sister-in-law and ordered a few beautiful dresses! We also ate many delicious things. One of the restaurants was strongly recommended by a designer!]
Lin Xiaowan posted two photos of her Qiao You’an. One was of them at one of the shows, and the other was of them eating at a restaurant, showing many delicacies on the table. She had previously sent the photo to the group chat, making the four men of the Huo family envious.
Needless to say, Lin Xiaowan’s post quickly attracted a lot of comments.
Unexpectedly, someone said that the photos only proved that Lin Xiaowan attended Fashion Week with a family member. The other party pointed out that Lin Xiaowan did not say anything about Gu Yuwu ‘pimping’ her out or that she had a sugar daddy, saying that her silence was acquiescence.
Lin Xiaowan frowned and quickly responded to the comment.
[Lin Xiaowan: Don’t be ridiculous. Sister Yuwu and my sister-in-law are friends as well. We all know each other. Where did this brainless person come from? Go away! ]
[Lin Xiaowan: Sister Yuwu is away on a trip with her husband. They should be sleeping now. I’m going to tell her about this later!!!]
Lin Xiaowan added three exclamations to show her seriousness to those who were making wild speculations.
However, some netizens seemed to miss the point and focused on a rather strange thing.
[Netizen #1: Eh, your tone is like a child who has been bullied and is going to complain to an adult.]
[Netizen #2: So cute! That’s right. All those brainless people should go away! Let these beautiful women live their lives!]
[Netizen tty 1 can just imagine the goddess’ face that still has a little baby fat and her voice when reading her comments. There’s no lethality at all when she said those harsh words! ]
Although Qiao You’an media presence was quite low, Huo Cheng was a prominent figure after all. He would even appear in international news sometimes. No matter how low-key she was, as his wife, people still knew her.
Therefore, it did not take long before people recognized Qiao You’an in Lin Xiaowan’s photos.
Lin Xiaowan said nervously, “Sister-in-law, so many people are talking about you now. Will this affect you? Should I delete this post and post something else?”
At this time, the two women were applying skincare products on their faces before going to bed.
Qiao You’an said nonchalantly, “You don’t have to worry about this. When your engagement to Huo Zheng is announced, even more people will know about this. If you delete it now, people are going to speculate again and say you’re feeling guilty.”
Lin Xiaowan was confused. “Why would they think I feel guilty?”
Qiao You’an explained, “Think about it. After posting photos with me, you deleted them before posting something else. People would think you were lying and felt guilty so you deleted the photos.”
“Ah, why is it so complicated? There are too many twists and turns.”
However, Lin Xiaowan’s little worry quickly disappeared.
After Qiao You’an comforted Lin Xiaowan, she washed her face before she logged onto her account and reposted the photos with a hugging emoji. After that, she did not forget to remind Huo Zheng not to act rashly.
Although Huo Zheng did not fully understand Qiao You’an’s meaning, he still listened to her advice. After all, she was not only his sister-in-law, but he knew she also cared about Lin Xiaowan. There was no doubt that she would not do anything that harmed the family.
After attending the shows, the two women finally flew back.
Lin Xiaowan’s award-winning painting had already been framed in a beautiful and exquisite frame. As soon as she returned, she contacted Lin Qing and told him that she was going to send him the painting. Coincidentally, Lin Qing had a small request.
“Since you’re in Shengjing,” Lin Qing said, “Can you send some flower seeds?”
Lin Xiaowan naturally agreed. “What kind of flower seeds do you want?”
“Anything is fine. You can pick whatever you like.”
“Alright.”
Lin Qing was pleasantly surprised when he received the painting. He really liked it, especially the elves and gnomes in the fruit and vegetable garden. It made him feel warm thinking about being surrounded by so many cute little creatures.
The Huo family’s banquet was fast approaching.
Due to the time constraint, some of the dresses Lin Xiaowan bought had yet to arrive. In the end, she chose to wear a dusty blue tufted dress with delicate gauze and star-like embellishments. It accentuated her flawless skin.
Huo Zheng hugged her waist and said unhappily, “You’re too skinny. Where does the food you eat go?”
Lin Xiaowan spun around in front of the mirror. “1 don’t think so. 1 think I look good like this.”
Huo Zheng took the necklace from her hand and helped her put it on. He lowered his head and carefully fastened the clasp for her. The necklace was from Qiao You’an’s collection. It had an excellent emerald pendant. She paired it with a pair of earrings and bracelets, which were a wedding gift from Qiao You’an.
Huo Zheng said, “Your aesthetics are weird. You’re too skinny.”
Lin Xiaowan snorted softly. She said with a pout, “You’re the one who has a weird aesthetic. Your clothes are always black, dark blue, or gray.”
The stylist had applied light makeup for Lin Xiaowan. The coral lipstick she applied was glossy, making her look especially cute when she pouted.
Huo Zheng lowered his head and kissed her lightly. “Then why don’t you help me pick out my clothes, Qingqing? I’ll wear the clothes you pick for me from now on.”
In fact, Lin Xiaowan did not have confidence in this aspect. After all, the few times she had dressed him, she had chosen extremely casual and youthful clothes. It was a far cry from his mature and steady image at work.
“I don’t want to,” Lin Xiaowan said, pushing him away, “Hey, don’t kiss me. You’re going to ruin my lipstick.”
Huo Zheng smiled and did not say anything. However, he intentionally rubbed his face against hers.
The banquet was held in the huge banquet room at the Huo family’s old residence.
Not many people were in attendance, and those who were invited were close family friends and business partners. The guests were carefully selected by Qiao You’an and Huo Cheng. It could be said that those who were invited to the banquet were also those who would be invited to the wedding.
The reason the number of guests was small was due to their consideration of Lin Xiaowan. They knew she was nervous in a big crowd so they only invited those closest to them.
The banquet usually had more guests since its purpose was to interact with their peers. However, despite the number of guests, it seemed to be grander than before. As such, many guests were confused. However, after asking around, they found out what was going on.
For now, Huo Cheng was still main character in the banquet room. A few of his close friends gathered around him, trying to ask him about this matter..
