Chapter 67 Spring Thunder Shocks
Ye Qingning remained wary but quickly offered flattery: "How can this be nitpicking? This is clearly striving for perfection! The higher your expectations of me, the higher I will stand. I know you are doing this for my own good."
Seeing her beaming with excitement, Lin Feiyan smiled but said nothing more.
Ye Qingning ushered him into the bedroom and waved goodbye: "Goodnight, Mr. Lin. Don't worry, I will definitely find a chef who suits your taste!"
Lin Feiyan waved his hand impatiently: "Get lost."
"Alright!" Ye Qingning gently closed the door for him and happily returned to her room.
After taking a shower and doing her skincare routine, she lay on her comfortable bed, staring blankly at the dress hanging above the bed for a while before finally taking out her phone and searching for the K brand's official website.
The store's prized possession on the homepage is this starry sky dress, worth over 3 million yuan, but Ye Qingning knew at a glance that hers was a replica.
The original design features a beautiful off-the-shoulder style that reveals delicate and pretty collarbones and shoulders, making the wearer sure to outshine everyone else.
My own outfit is a very ordinary double-shoulder top, nothing special except for showing my neck.
Ye Qingning shrugged and closed the webpage.
I knew it! She's not the female lead, so why would she deserve such a high-end luxury gown?
She turned off the wall lamp and then turned on the small orange nightlight by the bedside. When she turned her head again, she saw that the dress looked even more radiant and dazzling in the warm orange glow.
The decorations on the skirt resemble a starry night sky.
Absolutely beautiful.
If even the counterfeit is this good, wouldn't the original be as beautiful as a painting?
Ye Qingning fell into a deep sleep while gazing at the beautiful "starry sky," until a clap of thunder woke her from her dream.
Suddenly opening her eyes, Ye Qingning found that the world around her had fallen into darkness, and the night light had gone out sometime earlier.
She reached out and pressed the lamp button before realizing belatedly that the power was out.
Just then, a dazzling flash of lightning struck outside the window, followed by a deafening clap of thunder. Ye Qingning gasped and instinctively covered her ears, shrinking back against the headboard.
After the thunder subsided, she reached for her phone, but in the darkness she had no sense of direction and simply threw the phone far away to the ground, making a clear shattering sound.
Just then, another flash of lightning and a clap of thunder sounded, and darkness once again swept in, making Ye Qingning's scalp tingle. Terrifying memories from her childhood churned in her mind again and again.
There are many children in the welfare home. The well-behaved and sensible ones will receive extra care from the staff, but they will anger the unruly older children.
Ye Qingning was always well-behaved in order to get a decent meal, so some older children would bully her and lock her alone in a dilapidated little dark room during thunderstorms.
There were few teachers patrolling at night, and they wouldn't pay special attention to whether any children were missing. Trapped alone in the small, dark room, she was naturally helpless.
So she would fall seriously ill after almost every thunderstorm, and even as an adult, every thunderstorm remains a nightmare for her.
A series of thunderous booms followed, completely shattering Ye Qingning's mental defenses.
She jumped out of bed and staggered out of her room, heading straight for Lin Feiyan's door and banging on it: "Mr. Lin, are you in there? Mr. Lin."
The door was suddenly pulled open, and Ye Qingning almost fell into the man's arms. She quickly straightened up by holding onto the door frame and said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Lin, the power is out."
“I know,” Lin Feiyan said calmly. “It’s probably because the lightning caused a circuit malfunction.”
In the dim light of the emergency lamp, Lin Feiyan saw the obvious fear on her face and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with you?"
"I..." Ye Qingning pursed her lips, "I wanted to ask when the circuit could be fixed, I... ah!"
Before she could finish speaking, a clap of thunder made her scream, cover her ears, and cower beside him.
It turns out they were afraid of thunder.
Lin Feiyan's voice contained a hint of amusement: "I didn't expect that Miss Ye, who isn't even afraid of jumping off a building, would be afraid of thunder?"
