Chapter 382 The Closed-Off Young Master 16 Yang Ruxuan stood in the center of the dressing room, she stretched out her hand, her fingertips sliding over each piece of clothing.
What should I wear tonight?
Mr. Wang's voice came from the bedroom, carrying a casual and nonchalant tone.
"Red, I heard that Mr. Li likes bright colors."
Yang Ruxuan did not turn around, her gaze shifting between a red off-shoulder dress and a black diamond-encrusted gown.
This is her third month as Mr. Wang's personal assistant.
For the past three months, she has gotten back into the habit of spending money like water.
Her stomach stopped protesting, and her wardrobe was completely refreshed.
Because Mr. Wang is happy to see her dressed up in a glamorous and attractive manner.
Everything felt so familiar, as if I had returned to my past life in the Gu family.
But some things are different now.
"Let's go, the banquet starts at 7:30."
"This one, paired with that diamond necklace, the one I gave you last month."
Mr. Wang walked into the dressing room, already changed into a suit. He looked at the red dress she had chosen and nodded in satisfaction.
Yang Ruxuan silently took out the necklace and fastened it around her neck.
The cool metallic touch made her feel like she was wearing a collar.
The dinner was held in the ballroom of a top hotel in the city center.
"Mr. Wang is so lucky! Miss Lin is truly beautiful and talented."
A bald, middle-aged man raised his glass in a gesture of respect, but his gaze lingered on Yang Ruxuan's chest.
"Mr. Zhang, you flatter me."
Mr. Wang proudly put his arm around her waist.
Yang Ruxuan maintained her smile; she was well aware of the gossip behind these people's backs.
How did she, an ordinary person, manage to marry Wang Jianguo, a nouveau riche?
How much contempt and sarcasm are hidden in those seemingly friendly gazes?
"Miss Lin looks absolutely radiant today."
"Is this dress a haute couture piece from this year? It's really kind of Mr. Wang to be so willing to spend so much on it."
A lady approached, her sharp gaze sweeping over her dress and jewelry.
The sarcasm in the words was obvious.
"Mrs. Li has excellent taste."
Yang Ruxuan felt her cheeks burning, but she had to keep smiling.
Just like last week, she was trying to find a proper job.
She submitted her resume online and even interviewed for an administrative position at a small company.
On the day of the interview, she wore a dress she had bought a year ago, only to find that the fabric was so rough that it made her skin itch.
The stuffy air and cheap coffee smell in the office made her dizzy.
When the interviewer offered a monthly salary of 4,500, she almost burst out laughing.
This money isn't even enough for her to get a single hair treatment.
Even more terrifying, she found herself unable to tolerate the life of an ordinary person.
Her stomach wouldn't accept cheap takeout, and her skin couldn't tolerate inexpensive skincare products.
Like a wild beast that has been kept in captivity for too long, it has lost the ability to survive in the wild even when the cage door is opened.
After the interview that day, she went straight to a high-end shopping mall, bought a new seasonal item, and then had an expensive dinner alone at a Michelin-starred restaurant.
She only felt at ease when familiar food slid down her esophagus and when she was surrounded by a refined environment.
What are you spacing out for?
"Go and offer Chairman Chen a toast; he's one of our biggest clients."
Mr. Wang's voice brought her back to reality.
Yang Ruxuan nodded, picked up her wine glass, and walked towards the white-haired old man.
She skillfully complimented the other person's taste, smiled appropriately, and uttered a pleasant laugh at the right moment.
After the banquet, Mr. Wang got completely drunk.
On the way home, he placed his hand on her thigh and slowly slid it upwards.
