Chapter 759: Autumn Heart
"Is this thing really whitening? I won't get heavy metal poisoning, will it?" Gold foil flakes fell from her face as she spoke. The beautician hurriedly tried to reassure her, "The 24K gold foil infusion device will be here soon. Nano-gold can penetrate the dermis directly..."
Before I finished speaking, the manager of the club personally brought me a jar of crystal clear sturgeon caviar. I thought it was a snack provided for the SPA, but I didn't expect her to crush the caviar with a shell spoon and apply it on my body.
"This is white sturgeon caviar, rich in trace elements, and it absorbs three times faster than ordinary essences."
This is too extravagant! I thought to myself, shouldn’t this kind of thing be more nutritious if eaten?
Finally, the beautician carefully rubbed my whole body with rose essential oil, and I felt so tender that I could squeeze water out of it.
This is the first time in my life that I know that women can take such extreme measures to take care of their bodies.
Not only did my skin become moisturized and elastic, but every toe also became pink and tender. If my husband Xiao saw this, he would tear me apart and eat me up.
As long as he had something to do during these three days, time passed much faster. In a blink of an eye, it was the day before the engagement party, and Xiao Shiqiu rushed back to City A exhausted.
After dinner, he put the dishes into the dishwasher. When he took them out, I had changed into a suspender nightgown. He looked at my refreshed skin with shining eyes and said, "Baby, you look different."
I imitated Huang Tianyi and flirted with her, saying delicately, "Then tell me in detail, what is different about me?"
His eyes darkened and his voice was a little hoarse, "Baby, you look so glowing. You're so tender that I want to take a bite."
I was so happy to hear that, but I still pretended to be coquettish and said, "Alas, this cost me 380,000 yuan to maintain it."
"Worth it! Which beauty salon did it? It was beautifully done. Let's go there to top up tomorrow." There was obvious desire in his voice, and he moved closer to me using his hands and feet.
"Baby, it's time for us to take a shower and get some rest." His eyes were shining, and he clearly looked like he wanted to eat someone.
I poked his chest with a finger and looked at him with a smile, "What day is tomorrow?"
He didn't understand what was going on, but he answered seriously, "It's our engagement party."
"Yes, I will only get engaged once in my life, so I want to be in the best condition to attend the engagement party tomorrow.
I have to go to bed early tonight. I can’t stay up late or get too tired, otherwise I will have dark circles under my eyes.
Also, I'm going to wear a beautiful dress tomorrow that shows off my arms and legs, so there can't be any marks anywhere.
Please, Mr. Xiao, sleep in the guest room tonight!"
Xiao Shiqiu's expression visibly cracked, "Mengmeng, you did this on purpose."
I blinked innocently, "Yes, I just exposed it to show you the results of my skin care.
This shows that I take the engagement party extremely seriously.
Also, how can you be so realistic? You were calling me your darling just now, but you changed your tune the moment you said it. If you sleep in the guest room, then I am no longer your darling, am I? "
Xiao Shiqiu was amused by my pretentious look, pulled me into his arms, and kissed me.
"Forget it. If I can't eat it tonight, it's good to have a taste. Let's fight you tomorrow night. I will definitely fight you for three hundred rounds!"
Men have been like this since ancient times. They always have to say something harsh before retreating, otherwise they will appear to be losing face.
He started to insist on sleeping in the same bed with me, however, he couldn't sleep, "Baby, how about we do some gentle exercise?"
I didn't even raise my eyelids. "No, if you dare to exercise, I dare not get up tomorrow."
I don’t know when he fell asleep. In a daze, I seemed to think he took another shower.
The next morning, I woke up refreshed and saw a handsome face right in front of me.
Although this kind of situation has happened many times, for some reason today, I suddenly felt a tenderness in my heart.
I reached out and touched his face, my voice still a little lazy as if I had just woken up, "Good morning, my fiancé."
"Good morning, my fiancée." He responded cooperatively, came over and kissed me on the forehead, then handed me an exquisite jewelry box.
I took the box and asked doubtfully, "Do I have to wear the ring now?"
He chuckled, "Of course the ring is worn at the engagement ceremony. This is an engagement gift for you."
I sat up and opened the box. Inside lay a pair of diamond earrings. They were shaped like two overlapping maple leaves, and the overlapping part just happened to be the shape of a heart. The veins of the leaves were paved with small diamonds, which were sparkling and irresistible to every girl.
Xiao Shiqiu rested his chin on my shoulder. "The designer called this 'Autumn Heart'. It was designed especially for you. There's only one pair of them in the world. I've bought out the copyright to the design."
As his fingers brushed my earlobe, I smelled the lingering scent of cedar perfume on his wrist and realized he had shaved.
"Okay! I like it very much! I'll wear it today." Who would refuse something unique? My uncle is also unique.
I was washing up in the bathroom when the doorbell rang.
Xiao Shiqiu went to open the door and heard him say, "Sister Chen, why are you here?"
I stuck my head out and asked, "Who is it?"
"He's the housekeeper of the old house."
"Ms. Xia, the eldest lady asked me to bring the beauty team over, and they are already here." A woman in her early forties came in, followed by seven or eight people.
I saw them pushing a small cart in with various items on it. Two of them went to the bathroom and started running water, pouring a few buckets of milk into it. There was some gold foil on a small silver plate beside the bathtub, which was the same as the 24K gold foil mask I had seen in the beauty salon.
I was stunned by Sister Xiao's actions. Xiao Shiqiu chuckled and shoved me into the bathroom. "My sister even hired a bath attendant. You don't have to use your brain, just listen to them."
As soon as he closed the door, he heard an argument outside. Through the frosted glass, he vaguely saw the stylist holding a dark gray-blue tie and gesturing to Xiao Shiqiu's neck: "Mr. Xiao, this one makes you look more noble."
"Change it to wine red." Xiao Shiqiu's voice was unquestionable, "I want to match the color of her dress."
The sound of water drowned out the subsequent conversation. When I came out wrapped in a bathrobe, I found him using tweezers to adjust the angle of the rose brooch on his suit pocket. Seventeen or eighteen discarded roses were scattered on the coffee table.
I secretly clicked my tongue in amazement. This old man is really picky. The roses sent to him were obviously carefully selected, but he could still distinguish the different grades.
When I saw Sister Chen asking people to push the breakfast carts in, I felt that Xiao Shiqiu was right to complain that the house was too small.
This house certainly never imagined that one day it would be able to accommodate so many people.
