After the song ended, Luo Jiu stepped forward and bowed. Then, with a smile in her foxy eyes, she looked down at the man below, who seemed completely lost in thought. She slowly disappeared behind the curtain.
"Why did Luo Luo suddenly decide to sing this song? It startled me so much I almost didn't react. If you make a fool of yourself and get a good scolding from the boss, I won't let you off the hook."
As soon as she stepped off the stage, Shi Zixi clung to Luo Jiu, holding her hand and speaking in a soft, coquettish voice.
Luo Jiu gently brushed her nose with her other hand and smiled slightly, "If you make a mistake, those grown men in the audience won't be able to tell. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Hey~" Shi Zixi said, and was about to hit her.
The two of them, laughing and joking, made their way to the dressing room behind the stage. Suddenly, many bouquets of flowers appeared on the once clean and tidy table, turning Luo Jiu and Shi Zixi's dressing table into a flower room, leaving no space at all.
Outsiders are not allowed to enter the backstage area of the Dilomen store; the security is extremely strict. But this still cannot stop the two sisters' charm.
Shanghai is never short of rich young men. To win a smile from a beautiful woman, they bribe guards, buy flowers, and give small gifts. For them, anything that money can buy is the easiest thing to do.
"Look, let me see, this young master Liu has been sending you flowers for a month now. Today he sent roses."
Shi Zixi picked it up and smelled it: "It smells quite nice."
Then she looked up at Luo Jiu. Luo Jiu was holding a bouquet of flowers, her slender, white fingers threading through the stems, plucking petals one by one. Her fox-like eyes were listless, her expression indifferent and utterly bored.
"So bored? Why don't you go and meet this infatuated young master Liu?" Shi Zixi teased.
"Sigh. So infatuated. He doesn't even know what I like, yet he sends you flowers, including your favorite roses. He thinks he's infatuated just because he had a servant buy flowers for him? Forget it."
Luo Jiu's tone was listless, completely unlike her radiant presence on stage.
Just then, a middle-aged man pushed open the backstage door and hurried inside. Seeing the two sisters still chatting and laughing, he said anxiously, "My two little darlings, a very important person has arrived. The boss wants you to go out and keep him company."
"A big shot? Everyone who comes to Dilomen has some status or position. When did Shanghai get another big shot like this?" Shi Zixi murmured in confusion.
"Alright, Zixi." Luo Jiu threw down the bouquet she was holding and turned to the man, saying, "Manager Lu, don't worry, we'll pack up and head out right away."
"Alright, I'll have Linzi take you there later. You'd better serve the master who came today well." Hearing Luo Jiu's words, Steward Lu's old face was all smiles, and he walked outside in a good mood.
I originally thought that since these two were unwilling to go, I would have to use both kindness and severity to persuade them. Unexpectedly, Luo Jiu suddenly seemed to have a change of heart and actually agreed to go.
"Lolo!"
As soon as Steward Lu left, Shi Zixi stared at Luo Jiu with her round almond eyes, her originally petite and cute face pouting angrily. She looked at Luo Jiu with a puzzled expression.
Luo Jiu raised her hand, patted her head, and said softly, "When have you ever seen this Steward Lu ask us to accompany someone? Every time he subtly tells us to go out and have some fun. This means that the person who came is not simple."
