My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day - Novel - Chapter 606

Chapter 606: 606, taking the wife to a beauty pageant!

She slowly walked over, opened the passenger seat door, first placed the flower inside, and then got in.

As expected, Huo Jingshen glanced over, “Where’d this flower come from?”

Su Wanwan smilingly said, “Mr. Di gave it to me.”

Huo Jingshen’s face darkened.

“He said that women who have to work on Valentine’s Day are fallen angels in their previous lives, so he gave each of us little angels a rose.” Su Wanwan grinned.

“So, one for each person.” Huo Jingshen chuckled, driving the car away.

“What does it matter if it’s one per person? It’s the thought that counts,” Su Wanwan said. Then, she reached over to nudge his arm, “Honey, what do you plan to give me for Valentine’s Day?”

Huo Jingshen cast her a sidelong glance, “Isn’t having such a perfect husband like me enough?”

Su Wanwan: “…”

**

Twenty minutes later, they pulled up at a building.

After getting out of the car, Su Wanwan thought Huo Jingshen was taking her out for a candlelight dinner, but instead, he walked directly into a styling salon.

And it wasn’t the usual one they went to, but a salon with a vintage royal-styled ambiance designed by a French designer.

As soon as they went in, several stylists approached and began fussing over Su Wanwan – washing her hair, styling it, applying makeup, picking out jewelry and shoes. Finally, with the stylist’s help, she put on a complexly elaborate vintage royal-styled long dress.

Such a dress was very particular about body shape and could easily make her look bloated.

At first, Su Wanwan was a bit worried but the dress fit quite well when she put it on.

She was tall and slim. This was her first time wearing such a dress, and she looked elegant and noble. Her every frown and smile seemingly carried a myriad of charms.

To match the dress, her seaweed-like long curly hair was styled in a half-casual, half-up princess style.

The make up on her face was classical, especially the bright red lipstick, making her skin look as fair as frost, stunning and bold.

With a jade necklace, and a green jade bracelet on her wrist, paired with crystal-detailed high heels, she epitomized elegance. She was breathtakingly beautiful.

The most stunning was the little peach mole at the corner of her eyes. The makeup artist outlined it into a peach flower shape. Her flirtatious glances were alluring – a unique finishing touch.

The staff couldn’t help exclaiming at her reflection in the mirror:

“Wow, Mrs. Huo is really beautiful!”

“This dress fits Mrs. Huo perfectly.”

“Great figure and temperament!”

“She’s so pretty!”

Su Wanwan, looking at herself in the mirror, felt more grand than all her previous styles.

Amidst the compliments, even though she knew they were just flattery, she felt her cheeks growing red.

Was she supposed to be this dressed up for Valentine’s Day?

It didn’t feel like a holiday celebration, more like a beauty pageant.

Upon reaching outside, under the radiant chandelier, Huo Jingshen is all dressed up in a formal black three-piece suit, sophisticated and handsome. Seeing the undisguised surprise in his eyes, Su Wanwan felt a flutter in her heart.

Huo Jingshen strode over, holding her arm and visually examined her from top to bottom.

Today’s little lady looks exceptionally beautiful. The antique styled dress seemed a bit too grand but regarding her, it couldn’t have suited better.

After all, she had a solid foundation, a small face with perfect features. She could carry any style, very adaptable.

He couldn’t resist lowering his head.

Although conscious of not smudging her makeup, he kissed her cheek. The surrounding staff were instantly heart-eyed.

a handsome man and a beautiful woman, living like characters in a drama series, declaring their love so overtly on Valentine’s Day, it was too much!

“Baby, you look very beautiful today!” He whispered in her ear.

Su Wanwan’s pretty face turned redder.

…

Once out of the styling salon, and settled in the car, Su Wanwan couldn’t help but ask, “Where are we going for dinner?”

All that primping had taken almost an hour, and she was getting hungry from eating an early lunch.

Huo Jingshen mentioned a restaurant’s name.

Hearing the restaurant’s name, Su Wanwan frowned, “That’s so far away. We could have just eaten at home.”

She still felt more comfortable spending the holiday at home.

After all, Huo Jingshen’s culinary skills were extraordinary; he could cook both Chinese and Western dishes, and his presentation was as good as any restaurant’s.

It’s beautiful but also tiring.

She would have to get up early tomorrow to go to the TV station.

“Shall we go eat there?”

Huo Jingshen looked out of the car following her finger.

His face darkened.

A Sha Xian Snack?

“I’m hungry!” Su wanwan complained.

Huo Jingshen gave two light coughs. “Who said we are only going for a meal?”

“What else are we going to do?”

“Enter a beauty contest.”

“What!”

Su Wanwan was frozen in surprise.

Are they really going into a beauty contest?

What the hell?

**

The Ming Family is considered an unmistakable large surname in Nancheng, with a lineage that can reportedly be traced back to the Northern and Southern Dynasties. They are in-laws with the Huo Family, ranking among the “Four Great Aristocratic Families” of Nancheng.

Over the years, the Family Head of the Ming Family has been in the jewelry and jade business, owning countless jewelry shops and jade shops, as well as independent jade mining and design companies, and has partnerships with more than 20 jade mining provinces and cities across the country.

The Ming Family has many descendants, especially many women.

Mingzhu’s grandmother, originally a beauty pageant queen, gave birth to two handsome sons and two beautiful daughters.

The eldest and youngest sons’ wives gave birth to two girls and three boys, including a pair of beautiful twin sisters.

Although the family has experienced some struggles within the wealthy family, the family is now thriving with descendants prospering greatly.

Because the Ming Family has so many beautiful women and the family is involved in the jewelry and jade business, they have set up a beauty contest segment during their annual celebration. The invitees are all women from the Ming Family, including well-connected friends within their social circle and members of their charitable organization, the Mingli Association.

It is said that the Mingli Association has been established for 10 years now, and this beauty contest tradition has also been carried on for 10 years. There are now 10 “Charm Goddess crowns” scattered within the family. The current president of the Mingli Association is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ming Family, Madam Ming.

Su Wanwan nodded as if she understood, after hearing all of this.

No wonder Mingzhu is so generous; her maternal family is rich, and her mother holds a high status in the Ming Family.

At the banquet hall, Su Wanwan saw many beautiful women in all styles and shapes, all in exquisite evening gowns, with delicate makeup, dressed in various radiant colors, and looking very competitive. The men were all in suits and ties, looking graceful and elegant.

The whole scene was the epitome of luxury. There was even a full symphony orchestra playing in one corner, a scene that would typically appear only on TV screens.

Originally, Su Wanwan thought her dress was a bit over the top, but there were many people who were even more extravagantly dressed.

**

At seven in the evening, the banquet officially began.

In addition to the elderly Mr. Huo, as the in-laws to Mingzhu, all the Huo Family members were present, including Huo Qinyu’s family.

Madam Huo, looking at her beautiful daughter-in-law dressed so grandly, was so excited that she immediately took Su Wanwan’s hand and introduced her to Mrs. Ming. “I want you to meet your Ming grandmother and make a good impression. When she knows you’re my granddaughter-in-law, I guarantee she’ll pick you tonight as the Charm Goddess.”

With the elderly Mrs. Huo being so enthusiastic, Huo Jingshen didn’t object, and Su Wanwan had no choice but to follow.

The matriarch of the Ming Family, Mrs. Ming, was at the main table and was talking with her sisters-in-law. Even though they couldn’t participate in today’s beauty contest, they were all dressed in luxurious clothes.

When she saw Madam Huo, Mrs. Ming quickly stood up and graciously greeted her.

Su Wanwan observed her carefully.

Mrs. Ming, Mingzhu’s mother.

She was wearing a dark red Chinese cheongsam dress with a slender figure and delicate bone structure. At seventy-two years old, her elegant hairdo showed her grace and charm when she smiled. She had an excellent spirit and an even better temperament.

One could only imagine how stunningly beautiful she must have been in her youth.

Mingzhu was so beautiful, Huo Nuanyang was handsome and dashing, and even Ye Qitian had a handsome face like a captivating anime character. It could all be attributed to their superior genetic inheritance.

“Oh, this is Ashen’s wife, right?” Mrs. Ming was also examining Su Wanwan.

Her daughter had already told her that Huo Jingshen’s wife was Su Wanwan, but today was the first time they met in person.
