Chapter 75 Makes Her Heart Flutter
In the evening, Ruan Yao returned to the villa.
Sure enough, a row of haute couture gowns was already neatly hung in the master bedroom's walk-in closet.
There were eight items in total, each carefully covered with a dust bag.
From ethereal tulle dresses to sexy fishtail skirts, and elegant velvet dresses, each style is unique.
Ruan Yao looked at each item one by one, her eyes lighting up.
She picked out two items, one of which was the style Huo Yanzhi liked her to wear the most in her previous life—a red halter dress that accentuated her figure.
The other item was a simple, comfortable light blue satin dress.
The red dress features a bold design and an extremely form-fitting cut that hugs the body's curves. Made of gossamer-thin silk, the skirt has a very high slit, revealing glimpses of long, slender, white legs with every step.
Sexy, flamboyant, and brimming with fatal attraction.
Ruan Yao remembered clearly that she had worn a similar red dress at a banquet in her previous life.
That night, after returning to their room, Huo Yanzhi's eyes seemed to want to devour her whole. He kissed her repeatedly, possessing her almost frantically.
Ruan Yao's ear tips turned red.
Huo Yanzhi will definitely like this dress.
She was hesitating when she heard the door open behind her.
Huo Yanzhi is back.
Upon hearing the sound, Ruan Yao's eyes lit up, and she grabbed two dresses and ran out of the dressing room.
"Huo Yanzhi, you're back!"
Huo Yanzhi had just taken off his suit jacket when he heard the sound and turned around, only to see her rushing towards him like a happy little butterfly.
He reached out and caught her, pulling her into his arms.
"I'm back."
Ruan Yao snuggled against him, then held up the two dresses in her hands like a treasure.
"My mom called me today. She wants us to go to the Zhang family's party the day after tomorrow. Are you free the night after tomorrow?"
Hearing that she had naturally changed her address, a smile flashed across Huo Yanzhi's eyes.
"I have an international conference on Saturday and can't go with you. Qin Feng will take you there. Call me anytime if you need anything."
Ruan Yao's smile froze for a moment, and she felt a little disappointed, but she quickly recovered.
He's the head of the Huo family, so it's normal for him to be busy.
She asked casually, "Then can you help me decide which outfit I should wear to the party next weekend?"
Huo Yanzhi's gaze fell on the dress in her hand.
He remembered that red one.
One night in her past life, she was wearing a red dress like this, beneath him, tears welling in her eyes, like a ravaged rose.
That was the embodiment of his obsessive love, and also the beginning of her suffering.
Ruan Yao was unaware of his odd behavior and continued her enthusiastic introduction.
"Is this red one nice? It really flatters the figure. And this light blue one is made of very comfortable fabric; it must look great on you too."
She was somewhat hopeful that Huo Yanzhi would choose the red one, just like in her previous life.
Would he...?
Huo Yanzhi was silent for a few seconds, then reached out and gently brushed his fingertips across the light blue dress.
"This one, please."
Ruan Yao stared at him blankly, almost thinking she had misheard.
He... he actually chose that light blue one?
"What's wrong?" Huo Yanzhi saw her lost in thought and reached out to stroke her cheek. "Don't you like it?"
“No, no…” Ruan Yao came to her senses and shook her head vigorously. “Don’t you think… the red one looks better?”
"You look good in everything." Huo Yanzhi's tone was calm. He reached out and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, his fingertips warm. "You look good in anything."
He paused, then continued, "But the party lasts a long time, and the light blue one is made of a more comfortable material. Plus, its skirt design makes it easy to walk around, so you won't get as tired."
At this moment, Ruan Yao's heart was suddenly filled with an indescribable warmth.
This feeling moved her more than receiving any expensive gift.
The last bit of disappointment in her heart from him not being able to go to the party with her vanished without a trace.
As long as he has her in his heart, that's more important than anything else.
She sniffed, trying to hold back her tears, and hugged the dress, whispering, "Then I'll do as you say."

On Saturday evening, Ruan Yao changed into that light blue satin dress.
The dress's material is like flowing water, sliding down her shapely curves, outlining her perfect waist, and then ripples at the hem, exuding an ethereal yet elegant charm.
Ruan Yao turned around in front of the mirror and was extremely satisfied.
She lifted her skirt and ran downstairs.
Huo Yanzhi was sitting on the sofa in the living room, seemingly waiting for her.
He looked up when he heard footsteps.
Ruan Yao stopped in front of him, like a little peacock waiting for praise, and spun around on the spot.
The skirt parted in an elegant arc.
Is it pretty?
Huo Yanzhi did not answer immediately.
He stood up, walked to her, and reached out to tuck a strand of hair that had fallen across her cheek behind her ear.
His fingertips were warm, with a few calluses, and brushed against her skin, causing a slight shiver.
“It’s beautiful,” he said in a low voice, “but it’s missing something.”
As he spoke, he picked up a velvet box from the sofa and opened it.
Inside was a diamond necklace, the main diamond being a blue diamond similar in color to her dress, exquisitely cut, and shimmering with a faint light under the lamp.
He went around behind her and put it on for her himself.
The cool chain pressed against the warm skin on her neck, and Ruan Yao's heart skipped a beat.
"alright."
Huo Yanzhi took a step back and looked her over again.
In the mirror, the girl had a slender neck and delicate collarbones. The blue accents on her chest were just right, like the brightest star in the night sky.
This dress suits her very well.
Her gentle and quiet demeanor toned down her striking beauty, but added an allure that made her irresistible.
Looking at herself in the mirror and then at the man behind her, Ruan Yao felt as if her heart was filled with warm honey.
Is it pretty?
"Mm," Huo Yanzhi responded, his voice low. "It looks good."
What he didn't say was that she looks good in anything.
Having received affirmation, Ruan Yao smiled contentedly, her eyes curving into crescents.
She stepped forward and naturally straightened his slightly disheveled tie, her fingertips intentionally or unintentionally tracing his Adam's apple.
"It's a pity you can't see it." She tiptoed and whispered in his ear, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness that she herself didn't realize, "I look so good in this, but it's all for someone else."
Her warm breath sprayed onto my ear, carrying her unique sweet fragrance.
Huo Yanzhi's body tensed for a moment, and the grip on her wrist tightened unconsciously.
He lowered his eyes, looking at the pretty and bright little face in his arms, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, his voice even deeper than before.
"Qin Feng is waiting for you outside. There are many people at the party, so be careful and don't drink."
"I understand." Ruan Yao nodded obediently, but a sense of emptiness welled up in her heart because he couldn't go.
She changed her shoes, walked to the door, but couldn't help turning back and asking softly, "Will your meeting... last a long time?"
Huo Yanzhi felt a lump in his throat as he looked at her reluctant expression.
"soon."
