Chapter 199 Taking her shopping for clothes
Chi Chen and his brother: "It's good to be scared. Life is full of new scares every day, how exciting!"
Kong Wange: "..."
Seeing that his grandson had finally come to his senses, the old man next to him cleared his throat and said, "Little Ge'er, it would be good for you to take this kid out for a walk, so he won't be an eyesore at home all day."
Since the old man had spoken, Kong Wange couldn't very well refuse, so after lunch she had no choice but to get into the car with Murong Ting.
Watching the car drive off in an unknown direction, Kong Wange frowned and asked, "Where are you taking me?"
Lin Cheng, standing ahead, asked curiously, "Young Master Ting, didn't you tell the young mistress you were taking her to get her hair and makeup done?"
Kong Wange: "Are you going to take me to get my hair and makeup done?"
Murong Ting glared at Lin Cheng, annoyed: "Shut up."
Unfortunately, Lin Cheng not only didn't stop talking, but continued to chatter on and on: "Young Madam, just listen to Young Master Ting's arrangements. When you appear at the Kong family's auction tonight, I guarantee you'll outshine everyone and have an aura that's two meters and eighty centimeters tall."
Kong Wange said helplessly, "I'm going there to run errands, not to walk the runway. Just turn around and go back."
Murong Ting was unusually calm: "You can go back, but give me back the jade now."
Kong Wange: "..."
She said awkwardly, "Suddenly I feel like getting my hair styled is actually quite nice."
A smug smile appeared on Murong Ting's lips. For the first time, he felt that this jade purchase was truly worthwhile!
The car eventually stopped next to a private villa.
The villa has an exquisite design, with ivy climbing all over the exterior walls. It has a three-story high ceiling and large floor-to-ceiling windows on the outside, which let the sunlight shine through and make it feel warm and cozy.
After Kong Wange went in, she was led to a separate dressing room. Murong Ting said gently from outside, "Take your time trying it on, no rush. I'll sit outside and wait for you."
The woman who was helping Kong Wange pick out clothes was a pretty young lady. As she showed her the clothes, she said enviously, "Madam, you and Young Master Ting have such a good relationship. He's a black card VIP here and used to come often, but he always tried on clothes for himself. This is the first time I've seen him bring a girl here. And Young Master Ting always has a cold face when he comes here. This is the first time I've seen him so gentle."
Kong Wange smiled politely, thinking to herself that it was because you hadn't seen how rude he was to me before.
The young lady brought out more than a dozen outfits at once and presented them to Kong Wange to introduce them to her.
"This set was just airlifted from France and is set with 1,800 diamonds, all of which are genuine South African diamonds."
"This dress was hand-woven by three hundred top embroiderers, and the labor cost alone is as high as seven figures."
"This was designed by an independent chief designer in Italy. He only designs two outfits a year; the other one was given to their country's Queen..."
Kong Wange's head was spinning: "Wait, hold on, Murong Ting made you prepare all this? Don't you have any decent-looking clothes... like a regular dress or something?"
The young woman looked somewhat embarrassed: "Madam, we make high-end gowns here, and we really don't have the kind you're talking about..."
Kong Wange: "..."
Murong Ting really has too much money to burn!
After a moment, she chose the dress designed by an independent Italian designer for a simple reason—it was an elegant nude pink that wouldn't be too bright.
After choosing the clothes, I started doing my makeup and hair.
This one was even more outrageous; it took a full four hours, during which Kong Wange almost fell asleep at the dressing table.
After finally finishing her fuss, she went to change her clothes.
After everything was done, the shop assistant was stunned: "Madam, you look so beautiful!"
Although the outfit did look good, Wan Ge was already exhausted and didn't feel anything. She just gave a perfunctory "thank you" and then opened the fitting room door to leave.
However, before she had taken more than a few steps, she heard Murong Ting and Lin Cheng chatting below.
The sounds downstairs were faint and indistinct, so she took a few more steps and heard Lin Cheng say, "Young Master Ting, there's really no need to go to so much trouble. Anyway, the young mistress is naturally beautiful and looks good in anything."
Kong Wange thought to herself that Lin Cheng wasn't very bright, but he had a good sense of aesthetics.
Murong Ting stood tall by the window, his voice low and slightly hoarse: "What do you know? Wanwan usually focuses on studying medicine and certainly doesn't attend these kinds of occasions often. Those celebrities and powerful people are very good at judging people by their appearance. What if she is looked down upon or bullied because of her clothes?"
Lin Cheng cleared his throat and said, "Young Master Ting, aren't you overthinking this? No matter what, the young mistress carries the title of our Murong family. Who would dare to bully her?"
After saying that, he muttered to himself, "Besides, the young mistress isn't the type to suffer a loss easily. It's good enough that she doesn't scheme against others."
Murong Ting immediately became agitated: "What nonsense are you talking about? Wanwan is so well-educated, gentle and kind, how could she possibly scheme against others? It must be someone else bullying her. What I need to do is prevent it from happening in the first place."
Lin Cheng nodded: "Ah, yes, yes, you're right, Young Master Ting is wise."
Murong Ting rolled his eyes at him and continued waiting.
Upstairs, listening to Murong Ting's words, Kong Wange felt a mix of emotions.
She never expected that he would think that way.
A slight warmth rose in her heart. Taking a deep breath, she lifted her skirt and went downstairs: "I'm all ready."
Downstairs, upon hearing the sound, Murong Ting and Lin Cheng simultaneously looked at Kong Wange.
With just one glance, both of them froze and fell silent.
The Kong Wange before them was different from the ones they had seen before.
She was wearing a nude pink long dress.
The sheer fabric swayed in the sleeves, and the shoulders were adorned with wildly blooming flowers.
The cinched waist design perfectly accentuated her figure, with a large expanse of radiant skin exposed from her collarbone to her chest. A long, golden flower extended boldly from her chest to the hem of her skirt, making her appear even more slender and tall.
Her hair was styled in a loose bun, revealing her slender, snow-white neck.
A few strands of hair framed her full forehead, making her face appear even more delicate and petite. Her bright eyes were clear and bright, her nose was small and pert, and her lips were painted a highly saturated burnt orange color, exuding both gentle charm and mature composure.
It took Lin Cheng a while to find his voice: "Ting, Young Master Ting, what good deeds did you accumulate in your past life to earn such a young mistress in this life? I believe you now. A young mistress like her must be a well-educated, gentle, and kind person. After all, she's so beautiful, what could she possibly do wrong?"
Murong Ting, standing to the side, had exceptionally deep eyes, as if he could tear the person not far away apart and devour them whole.
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he suppressed his voice and said, "I regret it."
Lin Cheng, standing to the side, didn't react immediately: "Huh?"
Murong Ting pursed his thin lips and said nothing more.
Lin Cheng immediately realized, "That's right, who wouldn't want to keep such a beautiful wife at home and not let others see her?"
He sighed and patted Murong Ting on the shoulder: "Young Master Ting, a man should have a broad mind. Beautiful things are meant to be shared."
