Chapter 52 You dressed me in matching outfits?
Shi Yang was also sizing him up. He had changed into a gray suit. He was a natural clothes hanger; he could pull off anything. Gray tends to look old-fashioned, but on him, it added a touch of mature masculine charm.
Shi Yang made a request: "Change your clothes."
Ji Peiheng asked with some confusion, "What's wrong with this outfit?"
“…It’s not suitable for you…” Shi Yang tugged at his sleeve and went upstairs.
Ji Peiheng glanced at the small, fair hand holding his, and without resisting, followed her up.
Shi Yang opened the wardrobe and selected a white suit from a row of brand-new haute couture suits, handing it to him: "Wear this."
While changing his clothes, Shi Yang also picked out watches and ties at the booth.
"How is it? Does it suit your taste?"
His voice sounded behind him, and Shi Yang turned around to look.
His proportions were truly exceptional; the white suit he wore elongated his waistline, making his figure appear even more upright.
A row of cool white ambient lights in the fitting room cast a sidelight from the edge of the ceiling onto him, giving him a radiant yet understated elegance and a distinguished air.
Coupled with his exceptionally handsome face, he resembled an elegant young nobleman.
Dressed so flamboyantly...
Shi Yang was dissatisfied again.
Seeing the downturned corners of her mouth, Ji Peiheng seemed quite indulgent: "Change it again?"
"Forget it, we'll be late if we change it again, let's just make do with this."
Is this acceptable?
Ji Peiheng looked at himself in the mirror and thought he wasn't bad enough to be considered passable.
After a moment, his gaze lingered on her form-fitting and elegant white dress: "Shi Yang, did you pick this out especially for us as a couple?"
Shi Yang handed him the watch she had chosen, then picked out a tie and held it up to his chest, saying righteously, "It just so happens that I think this outfit suits you."
Ji Peiheng curled his lips, not exposing her little scheme.
I felt the overall colors didn't match, so I changed to another one.
She was distracted while tying her tie.
She suddenly remembered a game she played as a child where she dressed up princes and princesses.
There are many beautiful dresses and suits, as well as all sorts of fancy accessories. She gets very happy every time she dresses up her virtual character.
"Shi Yang, are you trying to strangle me?"
Shi Yang pulled her thoughts back from their wanderings and quickly loosened his muscles.
"Ji Peiheng, I'll accompany you to the banquet this time. Will you grant me a request?"
Tell me about it.
This was the first time she had made a request of him, and Ji Peiheng listened with great interest.
Shi Yang blinked cleverly: "You agree first."
Ji Peiheng took in her cunning and clever appearance.
He couldn't help it; he was curious about the request she made.
He said slowly, "I'll do everything in my power and do whatever I can to help you."
Shi Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It's not as serious as you make it sound. So you're agreeing?"
Ji Peiheng remained noncommittal.
She tiptoed and brought her lips close to his ear, moving them slightly.
Ji Peiheng's gaze gradually turned intrigued, a playful glint in his eyes: "Shi Yang, are you treating me like a toy?"
"I don't care, you've already promised me anyway."
She was so curious about what he would look like with such a handsome face, wearing a girl's dress and putting on makeup.
When they came downstairs together, Aunt Cui's eyes widened.
The couple looks so good together; they don't look like they're going to a banquet, they look like they're going to a wedding.
At the door, Liao Nan kept checking the time, his heart filled with anxiety, while the two main characters slowly stepped out.
Just before getting out of the car, Shi Yang picked up a mirror to check her makeup, straightened her back, and took Ji Peiheng's arm as she got out of the car.
He walked with his head held high and chest out.
Liao Nanping immediately sensed an air of someone heading to the battlefield.
Inside the private room, Chu He had been waiting for a long time. Hearing footsteps at the door, she smiled and said, "Aheng, being late isn't like you. Tell me, how are you going to make it up to me..."
His words abruptly stopped as the woman beside him stepped in.
A look of surprise appeared in Chu He's eyes.
Some guesses flashed through my mind.
Ji Peiheng's explanation confirmed her suspicions.
"Mr. Chu, this is my wife, Shi Yang."
Shi Yang smiled and said, "Hello, President Chu."
Chu He suppressed her ulterior motives and smiled slightly: "Hello, Miss Shi."
Shi Yang sensed the ambiguity in her words.
She called her "Miss Shi" instead of "Mrs. Ji".
After they sat down, they began to discuss business.
Shi Yang secretly observed Chu He, just as he had glanced at her unintentionally in the elevator that day. Chu He was undoubtedly a great beauty; she was said to be of mixed race, which gave her an exotic look.
She was also attracted to such a beautiful and capable woman.
Ji Peiheng was never tempted?
She found it incredible.
She became even more curious: had Ji Peiheng never liked any girl in his entire life?
Shi Yang sat quietly to one side, listening to them discuss obscure business topics.
Chu He kept talking nonstop, showing no sign of stopping.
Ji Peiheng pulled her hand from under the table, stroking her delicate wrist: "Bored?"
The light made her features look soft and lovely, and she obediently shook her head: "I'm not bored, it's okay, I'll stay with you."
Ji Peiheng waved to the waiter: "Bring me a serving of plain yogurt."
The waiter brought over a small bowl with carved decorations.
The small bowl contains solid yogurt.
It was still slightly cool when I brought it over.
"Try it, this yogurt is the best in Beijing."
Shi Yang took a small spoonful and put it in her mouth.
The rich milky aroma envelops the entire mouth, and the sweet and sour taste is not cloying at all.
Her eyes lit up instantly; it tasted delicious.
Ji Peiheng reached out his fingertip to wipe away the little bit of milk stain from the corner of her mouth: "Eat slowly."
Chu He on the other side couldn't continue speaking.
This was the first time she had seen Ji Peiheng so gentle in all the time they had known each other.
She prided herself on having known Ji Peiheng for a long time and having some school friendship with him, believing that she held a special place in his heart.
But now, she's not sure.
While Shi Yang went to the restroom, she used a smile to hide her inner turmoil: "Did you stand me up last time because of her?"
Ji Peiheng hummed in agreement, not denying it.
Chu He said in a teasing tone, "You love your wife so much, huh? You're neglecting such an important project to go see your wife."
Ji Peiheng looked relaxed, stroking the wedding ring on his finger, and said in a lazy tone, "There's nothing I can do, she has a bad temper, I have to coax her."
Chu He's smile was forced.
"Isn't this a business marriage?"
Ji Peiheng pursed his lips, his voice utterly nonchalant: "Does it matter?"
Chu He was taken aback; she could hear the displeasure in his tone.
He doesn't like it when others propose business marriages.
Over the years, she has been working hard abroad. The reason she came to Beijing as the head of TR to discuss cooperation was indeed due to her own selfish motives.
Some people are so stunning at first glance that they are unforgettable.
Ji Peiheng was very busy during his university years, and she also had her own things to do, so she didn't have time to take things further with him. This was a regret in her heart.
So when she learned of his marriage, she was filled with regret. But when she learned it was a business marriage, she subconsciously felt that someone like Ji Peiheng would definitely hate a business marriage, and that he must have no feelings for that woman. She thought she still had a chance.
So she came back.
But she realized it was too late.
