Sara"s eyes widened in shock when she saw the pricetags on the evening gowns there. "Seriously? it"s not even my wedding gown but I have to spend this much?"
Everything there were stunning and of high end brands. She had deliberately entered into one of Li corporation"s branches to get the wears. When she entered, no one paid attention to her. They all focused on their customers. Except one who came to rudely ask her to leave if she wasn"t going to buy anything. Truthfully, she was having a double mind about it. The least amount she had seen there would mean she was going to clear her account. She apologised to the salesperson who gave her a dirty look for coming without any intention of buying. She was about leaving when she b.u.mped into someone.
"I"m coming out now" Sara announced as she stepped out of the room into the living room. Jianjun, Joreen and Bilike were all alert. As soon as they saw her, no one said anything. Everyone eyes shone. The first person to take a step was Joreen. She slowly circled Sara. Sara was wearing a flowing low shoulder Royal black evening gown. She had gone for an hair treatment earlier. Her flowing hair was brushed down her shoulders neatly. She wore a sliver plated pearl choker and a teardrop earring to match. Her make up was gentle and mild. She simply looked elegant and beautiful. "How do I look?" Sara asked with a smile.
Jianjun staggered to were she was standing and gently pulled her into a hug. He couldn"t control his tears. "I"m sorry. I should have made you dress like this often" Jianjun sobbed.
"Old men shouldn"t cry. Look, Bilike and Joreen are both laughing at you" She teased and hugged him back.
"Sis, You look amazing. I"m sure you"ll be the prettiest tonight" Bilike complimented.
"The dress wouldn"t have been this nice if you weren"t the one putting it on. You look stunning" Joreen said and joined the hug.
When they broke away from the hug, Sara was able to take a few steps towards the door before she almost twisted her ankle "I hate heels" She sighed deeply and said.
Dexi still couldn"t believe the girl beside him was Sara. When she walked out of her door, his breath seized. She looked like a G.o.ddess. A G.o.ddess he really wanted to keep for himself. He was proud to be going there with this G.o.ddess tonight. With his black tux and her black gown, they both looked like a perfect couple.
He cleared the silence and spoke to Sara who was looking outside the car window. "You have a really great taste for fas.h.i.+on."
She ignored.
" I see why you didn"t want me going with you."
Sara ignored.
She really had not wanted him to go with her. He would have paid then she would be indebted. She didn"t like owing debts. Besides, if she really let him pay, then she would have to put up with his att.i.tude or force herself to talk with him or even be nice to him. She wasn"t willing or ready for any of that.
Dexi smiled. They both had a long night. She was going to speak with him anyway. But he was wondering where she got the outfit from since they all looked really expensive.
It was after 7 when they arrived at Mo Dachuan"s mansion. When Sara saw people outside, she became tensed. Dexi noticed it. "You don"t have to worry. Just stick with me"
Sara took a deep breath and they all got down from the car. He presented his arm for her to take it but she wasn"t interested and gave him a stink eye. He chuckled. He was trying to act like a gentleman yet she was rebuffing his effort. If it were to be another girl, he would have led her by her waist without her protesting.
And just like that, they walked side by side to the back of his mansion where the party was being held.
When he entered, all eyes were on him and the girl standing beside him. They were all wowed by her beauty. People would have easily concluded she was an actress or model but she was obviously a strange face. So they could only conclude she was from a wealthy family also. Especially as she was standing beside Dexi. Some couldn"t help feeling bad for her as she was now Dexi"s prey.
Jinyong looked at her for close to a minute before he recognised her. He gasped in shock. And so did Weiyoung.
He couldn"t lock himself up forever and knew he needed to be out for his Grandfather"s birthday. Weiyoung also could not miss it despite the fact that her family was facing turbulent times. She had to stick to the Mo"s no matter what. Muchen had really dealt with their family greatly. Investors kept pulling out, Shares has been dropping. Things were not looking good for her family. Her parents couldn"t even make it tonight. Because if they were not alert for even a second, they may go bankrupt.
Sara greeted Elder Mo and his wife and wished him a happy birthday. They were both curious about who she was but knew it was not the right place to start doing all of that since they had more people to greet themselves.
The next person that entered caught everyone"s attention. Muchen had his male secretary with him as he strode in confidently in his tux. He just finished greeting Elder Mo and his wife when his eyes met Dexi"s. He nodded politely at him then looked at the beautiful lady beside him.
