Her eyes immediately brightened, and she boldly looked him up and down with a knowing smirk.
“Oh, who’s this handsome stranger?”
Pei Kexin was too lazy to introduce him but still said, “Jiang Jingchen.”
Fu Duoduo’s face was full of admiration. “No wonder you… Wow, Pei Kexin, heaven has been good to you. Tsk tsk, you can just grab someone like this off the street. Oh my…”
If she didn’t stop her, who knew what else she would say. Pei Kexin didn’t want to be embarrassed, so she stepped forward and pushed her.
“Is Gu Wei here? What kind of taste do you have? Did he deliberately pick such an offensive color to mess with you? Come on, I’ll help you pick a new one.”
“Hans, take this gentleman to get a haircut. You, go with him.”
The two of them pushed each other towards the fitting room.
As the door closed, Fu Duoduo, still unable to control her infatuation, tugged at Pei Kexin and asked.
“Are you sure this guy is a delivery man and not a model? My gosh, you’re too lucky. He’s so striking!”
“That delicate face, that height, those proportions, oh my… You’ve made me want to camp out at the entrance of a club too.”
“Hey, why don’t you ask him if he has anyone similar in his line of work? He looks so good to me, I’m so envious of you…”
“Did you really hit it off with him last night? Does he have muscles?”
“Based on my years of experience judging men, he’s definitely the type who looks slim in clothes and muscular out of them!”
“Pei Kexin, you’re too promiscuous to have encountered such a prime young specimen!”
Pei Kexin looked at her with the expression of someone watching a fool. Finally, she said, “Are you done?”
Fu Duoduo hadn’t seen such a handsome man in a long time and was truly stimulated, so she wasn’t easily finished.
Especially imagining dressing him up and taking him out, which would surely attract countless admiring glances, giving her a sense of pride and satisfaction.
“That scumbag Zhou Ruyu, why is he having a masquerade ball for no reason? He’s ugly himself, but he’s making everyone else hide their faces. So annoying!”
“Why don’t you push your man in front of him? I guarantee he’ll regret it for sure! To think he was blind enough not to choose you back then!”
“Oh, no, no, no, you shouldn’t push him in front of him, you should push him to Xia Tiantian.”
“Toads in a well have never seen the vastness of the sky, and they think they’re amazing for snatching Zhou Ruyu? This old lady can find someone a hundred times better looking than him!”
“Let’s see who will be blind enough to spread rumors about you having a crush on Zhou Ruyu in the future!”
Pei Kexin had lost interest in Zhou Ruyu years ago, so she wasn’t interested in the scene of him being proven wrong that her friend described.
She let Fu Duoduo fantasize while she indifferently picked out clothes from the rack.
“Alright, they’ve been married for a year and are deeply in love, otherwise, they wouldn’t be sending surprises. Can you, the busybody, let go of the past?”
“I was just narrow-minded back then and fell for Zhou Ruyu for a moment. I really shouldn’t have told you, you’re endless.”
It wasn’t that Fu Duoduo was endless, but rather that they were all in the same class. Although Fu Duoduo wasn’t the closest to Pei Kexin, she also knew how attentive Zhou Ruyu was to Pei Kexin.
Everyone thought they would get together, but then he ended up with Xia Tiantian.
Even if he got together with Xia Tiantian, rumors soon spread that Pei Kexin had a crush on Zhou Ruyu and so on…
Anyone with a bit of common sense would know that Xia Tiantian was behind it. Pei Kexin couldn’t be bothered to argue and pretended not to see them like an ostrich, only she knew the taste of it.
Fu Duoduo, accustomed to fighting for justice, had always been indignant and wanted to get justice for her.
The reason she chose such a shameless color today was also for Pei Kexin.
She wanted to make Xia Tiantian unhappy and loved to annoy her!
Make her angry, make her angry!
Therefore, no matter how much Pei Kexin disliked the dress, she wouldn’t change it.
“Since we’re all wearing masks, no one can see anyone clearly. What’s there to be shy about? I’m wearing it!”
“Don’t try to persuade me. Hurry up and get yourself ready to take care of your man. Such a cute young stud, who knows if others will take a liking to him? Go keep a close eye on him.”
Helpless, Pei Kexin had known her for almost ten years and knew her temper.
She was decisive, stubborn, and unyielding. Pei Kexin decided to let her be.
Outside, Hans quickly gave Zhan Jingchen a trendy and mature hairstyle and then took him to the men’s wardrobe to pick out clothes.
It was a dark blue satin shirt. If worn well, it could exude a luxurious and fashionable feel; if worn poorly, it would look effeminate and cheap.
Fortunately, this young man was born with a model’s physique and innate presence. Without any accessories, he simply tucked the hem into his black pants, and wow.
He looked like the top noble son of a vampire family.
When Pei Kexin came out and saw him, she could only sigh.
Some people are truly born without needing to work hard; they can make a living just by their looks.
If a month later, they parted ways, and she saw his handsome photo in the entertainment news, hailed as a popular idol, she wouldn’t be surprised.
The men wore similar golden masks. Pei Kexin wore a black strapless long gown and a black-bordered white feathered mask. Everyone went out together.
Gu Wei was the driver and was already waiting for them outside in the car.
The three of them got in, and Gu Wei sneered.
“It seems like there’s a show to be put on for you today. Zhou Ruyu was afraid you wouldn’t come, so he called me again to confirm.”
Pei Kexin keenly caught the key point in his words.
“What do you mean, ‘again’?”
Gu Wei said, “This guy, he originally wanted to play it cool and never intentionally mentioned your name when talking in the group chat. But when he heard from Duoduo that you probably wouldn’t go, because you just got married and were busy recently, he couldn’t hold back.”
“He called me privately and asked a lot of questions indirectly. In the end, to put your mind at ease about going, he even went as far as to turn their wedding anniversary into a masquerade ball.”
“Damn it, I really want to see what his game is. Is he particularly fond of acting, or does he think you’re too indifferent to his cheating, and wants to gain your attention?”
“Why didn’t I realize he was so scummy before? I’m really disgusted by him recently.”
Pei Kexin didn’t know about these private machinations. If she had known, she wouldn’t have gone today, no matter what.
Her own family of drama queens was annoying enough every day; now she had to watch others act. Did she have that much free time?
“Knowing he’s doing this deliberately and still dragging me along, isn’t that exactly what he wants? I really don’t understand why you two are arguing with him. Associating with a scumbag, if you don’t find it shameful, I find it beneath my dignity.”
Fu Duoduo saw her scolding Gu Wei and couldn’t help but defend him.
“Don’t talk about him like that. It was all my idea to go today. Don’t get angry yet, listen to me first.”
“I just got some explosive news. That scum named Zhou seems to be sick. He’s been to the hospital privately quite a bit these past two years.”
“Consider it heaven’s way of helping you deal with him. Wouldn’t it be nice for you to go and have some fun?”
Pei Kexin: “…”
Uncle Fu, please take Miss Fu back and lock her up. This person, besides gossip, she has no other thoughts.
