Ye Wenyu whispered, "It's too late, let go quickly, I need to change my clothes." Her voice was barely audible.

Lin Tingfeng suddenly remembered the gathering. If he continued fooling around like this, he would really be late. Although his younger brother and sister didn't hold much importance in his heart, he thought about Wen Yu's future. Being late might really affect many things. Therefore, he let go of her.

Under his gaze, Ye Wenyu blushed and quickly changed into a white dress. Lin Tingfeng then found her a pair of white shoes in the same color scheme and picked out a small bright red handbag for her.

Ye Wenyu looked at himself in the mirror. Hmm, he really has good taste; he does look much more elegant now.

She said gratefully and happily, "Thank you, I'll get ready to do my makeup, it'll take at least half an hour." Then she started applying makeup in front of the mirror.

While Ye Wenyu was putting on makeup in front of the mirror, Lin Tingfeng was not idle either. He thoroughly inspected her wardrobe, picked out all the clothes she had bought on Taobao, and threw them on the wooden floor next to her.

While putting on makeup, Ye Wenyu protested, "That's a brand new one, it's very pretty and expensive." By "very expensive," she meant it cost several hundred yuan.

As Lin Tingfeng threw things away, he explained his reasons: "Leopard print? Only Chanel leopard print is acceptable; anything else will look cheap." "Black stockings? Black leather skirt? Black leather pants? Fishnet stockings? Girl, your taste is terrible. You're not allowed to wear any of these anymore." "Fuchsia? Bright yellow? Bright blue? Good heavens, these horrible colors are all off-limits." "Girl, remember this: from now on, I'll be responsible for buying you all your clothes. You're not allowed to buy any more for yourself. Your taste is truly awful!"

Ye Wenyu was stunned and depressed. She lost all interest in putting on makeup. It turned out that in his eyes, she was so worthless. The reason she bought so many clothes, besides suppressing her shopping desires, was also because she wanted to look beautiful in front of him so that he would love her more. Like all girls in the world, she dressed up for the one she wanted to please. She never expected that all the clothes she carefully selected, as dazzling as a rainbow, so fashionable and exquisite, were all trash in his eyes.

She looked at him with a wronged expression and protested in a low voice, "I couldn't afford it before, but now that you give me money every month, I can afford it, but you won't let me buy it anymore."

Lin Tingfeng was stunned. Looking at her tearful face, he felt a pang of heartache. He conceded, saying, "Alright, you can buy it for fun, but you can't wear it. Because—"

Ye Wenyu looked up at him, waiting for him to give her a reason for not letting her wear it.

Buying them for fun? Buying clothes just for fun? Clothes are meant to be worn, okay?

Lin Tingfeng laughed and said, "Because you are my woman, Lin Tingfeng's woman. When you walk outside, you represent me, so your aesthetic sense is my aesthetic sense. I can never let my woman dress so tacky and cheap."

Tacky and cheap?

Is clothing bought for a few hundred yuan considered cheap?

Ye Wenyu was both angry and delighted. She was delighted that he called her his woman, but angry at his arrogance and self-confidence. She rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Does wearing all black every day mean you have good taste?" In fact, although she was stubborn on the surface, she admired Lin Tingfeng's aesthetic sense. Although he only wore black, he had a lot of different styles and materials. Moreover, he paid great attention to layering his clothes. For example, even though all his clothes were black, he would choose different materials of black to match his tops and bottoms, thus creating a sense of layering in his clothing.

A person who knows how to create a sense of layering in their clothing is definitely a master.

In short, he always dressed well.

But--

She's so young, won't she look dull wearing only black?

Ye Wenyu stared at Lin Tingfeng with wide eyes, feeling conflicted and confused.

Lin Tingfeng smiled, looked at Ye Wenyu, and patiently said, "In a few years, you will find that only black, white, gray, and camel are classic and wearable colors in this world. I am suitable to wear black, and you, because you are young, are more suitable to wear white."

Ye Wenyu still said defiantly, "Then let's wait a few years and see." In fact, she had already given up in her heart and planned to stop wearing those terrible clothes she bought online.

Lin Tingfeng raised his wrist again to check the time and said to her, "We need to leave, or we'll really be late."

Ye Wenyu almost cried when she saw her face, which she had just applied sunscreen to. She hadn't even put on lipstick yet. She stomped her feet anxiously and said to him, "What should I do? What should I do? I haven't put on makeup yet! It's all your fault, you kept bothering me and wasting my time. Oh my god, can we cancel the party today?" As she spoke, she picked up her lipstick and started applying it to her face.

Lin Tingfeng took her hand, took the lipstick she was clutching tightly, tossed it aside, looked at her, and said gently, "No need for makeup. You are naturally beautiful, like a lotus emerging from clear water. Your bare face is far better than my heavily made-up sister."

Ye Wenyu opened her eyes wide, her face showing suspicion.

Lin Tingyue is so beautiful, yet he actually said she looks better than his sister even without makeup. Lin Tingfeng definitely has a straight male's aesthetic sense; by "no makeup," he must mean she's wearing light makeup. In a man's eyes, anything that isn't heavy makeup is considered "no makeup."

Just as Ye Wenyu was about to explain that she had to wear makeup, Lin Tingfeng suddenly leaned forward and kissed her on the lips with a smile. Ye Wenyu was stunned, digesting the tender kiss for a long time. Lin Tingfeng said gently to her, "I don't like women wearing makeup. What kind of thing is it to kiss someone with lipstick all over their lips? Try not to wear makeup in the future."

Ye Wenyu said, "You're so domineering." But she still listened to him and decided to go to the party without makeup.

Lin Tingfeng took her hand and led her out the door.

Lin Tingfeng was driving a black Mercedes-Benz S600 this time. Ye Wenyu naturally understood that since he was going to attend the Lin family's gathering, he would not drive that deliberately low-key Hyundai.

Sitting in the passenger seat, I was worried that I wasn't wearing makeup, so I insecurely turned on the mirror function on my phone and looked at myself from left to right.

Oh dear, your face looks too pale, even your lips are white, you look like you have no energy at all.

Lin Tingfeng found her nervousness amusing and said to her as he drove, "Don't be nervous. They should be the ones who are nervous. Hmm, they've always been afraid of me."

What? Ye Wenyu was stunned, no longer caring about looking in the mirror. She put down her phone, pondering the meaning of Lin Tingfeng's words. He said, "They've always been afraid of him." "They should be the ones who're nervous." By "them," he meant his younger brother and sister. Why were his younger brother and sister afraid of him? Why were they nervous around him?
