Chapter 397: Chapter 396 An Nan’s Uneasiness
His smile was filled with immense happiness when a figure emerging from the changing room instantly captured all of his attention.
Beautiful, so beautiful! That was Lin Mubai’s first thought.
For the first time, he discovered how well his wife suited this shade of purple.
In the gentle lighting, the woman walking slowly out from the door of the changing room was enveloped by the purple evening gown that perfectly accentuated her figure. Under the warm eastern light, she appeared like a goddess stepping out from purple stardust, mysteriously elegant yet irresistibly attractive, with a seductive aura unmistakable. Moreover, the gown’s owner uniquely possessed a naturally cool demeanor, making her an exceptional beauty indeed.
With this overwhelming sensation, Lin Mubai slowly approached amid the other’s anxious mood.
"Wife, you’re so beautiful." So beautiful that he wanted to hide her away.
So beautiful that he didn’t want to take her to the banquet tonight; he just wanted to keep her at home, only for himself to see.
In Lin Mubai’s praise, An Nan’s cheeks began to blush uncontrollably: "Um, can I change out of it?" Although the dress was beautiful, walking in it was equally difficult.
The gown’s design intentionally narrowed the skirt to make a woman’s walk more graceful and elegant. She had just taken a few steps and nearly stumbled to the ground.
She could hardly imagine what would happen if she went out wearing such a dress. She’d likely be sunburnt beyond recognition.
As she looked on with anticipation, Lin Mubai smiled and shook his head at her: "Don’t change; it looks great."
"Little White, I..."
In the next moment, An Nan’s words were interrupted by the other party: "Tianchen, find someone to do my wife’s makeup."
"Sure, let Little V do it; her skills are the best."
"It’s all up to you."
Listening to the conversation between the two men, An Nan’s face turned increasingly sour—not only was she supposed to wear the gown, she also had to get makeup done.
Noticing her peculiar reaction, Zhao Tianchen finally sensed something was amiss and then approached his brother, raising his eyebrow slightly: "What’s wrong? You didn’t tell her, did you?"
Lin Mubai shot a warning glare: "Mind your words. If you ruin my plan, you’ll pay dearly."
"Okay, okay, I got it, I got it."
When one cannot tolerate anymore, there’s no need to tolerate at all.
This perfectly matched An Nan’s current mood when the so-called most skilled Little V walked cheerfully towards her. An Nan was no longer able to sit still.
In the next moment, amidst everyone’s shocked gazes, she stood up abruptly from the chair with a face full of wariness: "Stay away from me."
Damn it, what were these two men up to, making her wear such uncomfortable gown and insisting on makeup as well.
Her voice simultaneously drew the attention of the two men engaged in conversation.
Lin Mubai quickly approached: "Nannan, what’s wrong?"
Nannan ignored his gentle demeanor, glaring at him fiercely: "Tell me, what’s really going on?"
Lin Mubai weighed his options internally, finally finding a good reason: "Nannan, I need to attend a banquet tonight and must bring a female companion with me. You wouldn’t want me to take someone else, would you?"
"This..."
An Nan’s eventual compromise was inevitable because the bastard had one valid point—she did not want him taking another woman to the banquet.
