Chapter 415: Destined To Be Eye-catching
When Su Wan saw that Jiang Xuecheng had given in, her clear eyes immediately widened and she almost jumped with joy!
As a girl who loved beauty, she actually liked the cheongsam. It was white and blue and so beautiful that it looked like blue and white porcelain which was meticulously made by a craftsman.
Su Wan looked at the helpless man in front of her and smiled as she smoothed Jiang Xuecheng’s hair.
“You’re the best.”
Taking advantage of his lack of attention, Su Wan quickly tiptoed and planted a gentle kiss on Jiang Xuecheng’s chin.
It was like a feather brus.h.i.+ng past. Before he could carefully feel the warm touch, it immediately disappeared.
Jiang Xuecheng was stunned. By the time he reacted, Su Wan had already run into the shop and smiled as she took the gown bag that Lu Xiao handed to her.
Her smiling face was reflected in his eyes and Jiang Xuecheng’s pitch-black eyes flashed.
Forget it. As long as she was happy, nothing else was important.
After returning to Fontainebleau, Su Wan immediately rummaged through the jewellery table. She opened a black velvet box and took out the white Nanyang Pearl necklace that Jiang Xuecheng had bought.
When she saw Jiang Xuecheng push open the door and enter, Su Wan tilted her head and smiled at him.
The faint light fell into Su Wan’s eyes. The light was vibrant and full of emotion.
The corners of Jiang Xuecheng’s lips curled up. He quickly walked toward Su Wan and said, “Wan Wan, let me help you put it on.”
It was indeed not that convenient to wear the necklace on her own. Su Wan nodded her head naturally. She smiled and handed the pearl necklace in her hand to him.
Jiang Xuecheng’s tall figure enveloped Su Wan, almost blocking out most of the light in front of her.
Feeling the cold fragrance floating between her nostrils and the fingers on her neck, Su Wan’s heartbeat unconsciously quickened.
Su Wan’s face was slightly red. She could not help but ask softly, “Xuecheng, are you done?”
“Wan Wan, don’t move. I’ll be done soon.”
Jiang Xuecheng naturally saw that Su Wan was uncomfortable. He raised his eyes to glance at her and let out an evil breath in her ear.
Su Wan did not need to turn around to feel that a pair of burning eyes were locked tightly on her.
The tip of Su Wan’s ears were burning, and the temperature of her entire body had risen. She could only lower her eyes and pretend to be absent-minded.
It was obvious that it would not take long to wear the necklace, but it was as if someone had deliberately lengthened the time.
She felt her heart beat faster and faster with the pa.s.sing of every second. She had unknowingly lost her rhythm.
“I’m done.”
With these words from Jiang Xuecheng, Su Wan finally let out a sigh of relief.
She raised her head to look at the mirror in front of her, only to see a graceful figure reflected in the mirror.
The woman in the mirror was wearing a white and blue cheongsam with a string of pure white Nanyang Pearl necklace around her neck, making her temperament appear even more serene and pure.
In a trance, it actually made people mistakenly think that they had returned to the era of the Republic of China, where they saw the bearing of a n.o.ble lady from that era.
Jiang Xuecheng wrapped his arms around Su Wan’s waist from behind, and his hands uneasily moved upward.
“Wan Wan, you’re not allowed to wear a cheongsam anymore after today.”
His deep voice echoed in her ears. He spoke carelessly, but no one dared to underestimate him.
Su Wan turned her head and glanced at Jiang Xuecheng speechlessly, “But what if I like it?”
Jiang Xuecheng straightened Su Wan’s face. His eyes that were as dark as the night looked into the depths of Su Wan’s heart without a blink of an eye.
“If you want to wear it, wear it at home. You can only wear it for me.”
The cheongsam was indeed the best way to show the beauty of an oriental woman’s body and temperament. Whether it was her round and moving peaks or her slim waist, it gave people a great visual impact.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at her and felt both distracted and regretful at the same time.
Why didn’t he insist that Su Wan change into a cheongsam that has a slit up to her knees?
The thought of people looking at Su Wan made Jiang Xuecheng uncomfortable.
Su Wan rolled her eyes at Jiang Xuecheng when she saw his overbearing manner. However, she still made a compromise with Jiang Xuecheng in the end.
“It’s such a waste to only wear it at home. Alright, alright, if I have the chance to wear a cheongsam again in the future, I will definitely pre-book a cheongsam that has a slit up to my knees in advance. Is that alright?”
Perhaps this was the sweet burden that people often mention?
***
Dynasty hotel was one of the most premium hotels in Jiuzhou. In S City, only Fenghuangtai Hotel could compare to it.
But even so, there was still a slight difference in the source of guests between Dynasty Hotel and Fenghuangtai Hotel.
In comparison, the people who held banquets at Fenghuangtai were mostly wealthy business magnates, known for their deep financial resources.
Those who came to the Dynasty Hotel symbolized a kind of status. This place was favored by people in the political and military circles.
At night, when the lights were on, the bright neon lights were extremely gorgeous. Pedestrians could see the words “congratulations to Chief Jiang on his 70th birthday” from afar.
The British-style Dynasty Hotel exuded an indescribable sense of n.o.bility and luxury under the hazy night sky.
The towering castle-style spire gave off an unfathomable sense of dominance.
Under the floral arch in front of the door, a long, red, high-cla.s.s carpet was spread out. From time to time, there would be beauties dressed up walking past. It was as if a celebrity was walking on the red carpet, competing with each other for beauty, stunning everyone.
Inside the Dynasty Hotel, the birthday boy had yet to arrive, but the scene was bustling with toasting, chatting, and laughing.
Senior Master Jiang advocated simplicity. He had never held a big birthday banquet outside before, but this time, it was his 70th birthday, and Luo Xiuxiu had decided for him to hold a banquet.
As the most famous aristocratic family in Jiuzhou, the Jiang family naturally couldn’t miss this opportunity.
The entire banquet was luxurious to the extreme, and the elites and socialites of the political, business, and military worlds shuttled back and forth.
With just a casual glance, one could feel the luxury of the upper-cla.s.s society.
The banquet hall had long been meticulously decorated. Complicated and exquisite crystal chandeliers hung from the top, emitting l.u.s.trous lights.
Vases that looked ordinary at the surrounding were all expensive, and if they were taken away, they would be a windfall for any ordinary person.
The banquet was destined to attract the attention of everyone from the very beginning.
Luo Xiuxiu and Sheng An’ning stood at the door and greeted the guests politely.
Sheng An’ning had dressed up deliberately today. She rarely wore scarlet, but today she was wearing a scarlet dress for an exception. Under the light, she looked elegant and bright.
The guests walked on the red carpet and when they pa.s.sed by the floral arch, they uttered words of congratulations toward Luo Xiuxiu and Sheng An’ning.
“Congratulations! I wish senior master Jiang happy every day!”
“I wish chief Jiang every happiness and longevity!”
Sheng An’ning stood next to Luo xiuxiu with a smile. She would occasionally nod or bow to the people according to their status.
“Thank you. It’s windy outside. Let’s go in.”

At the same time, a dark Koenigsegg Agera R was driving toward them. Like an arrow released from a bow, it blended into the vast night.
