“Also, look; do you still find your evening gown revealing after putting on this wig?”
His words reminded her of the issue about the revealing gown.
She blinked her eyes and turned left and right. Indeed, the wig had perfectly solved the issue of her clothes being too revealing!
The wig was long and thick, so besides the landscape of her chest being partially exposed, all other parts of her body had been perfectly covered!
In fact, she could not feel any breeze on her back at all.
“Even your thick arms are hidden by this wig.” The stylist pointed out smugly.
“It really is!” She cheered.
“I won’t stop you if you really don’t want to wear the wig, but don’t you come running to me about your revealing gown later.” Lily pouted as he pinched his fingers into a lotus shape.
As she was already used to Lily’s antics, which were more womanly than a woman’s, her full focus was on his words and not his actions.
She could only cock a brow in exasperation at his words.
Although she felt repulsed by this wig made of real human hair, she disliked the revealing evening gown even more!
Hence, after a short deliberation, she resolutely chose to wear the wig!
“Alright. I’ll just wear the wig.” She nudged her lips and released the hair she was looping.
He burst into laughter at her stifled look.
“Alright, alright. Don’t show such a disdainful look. This is such a beautiful wig. Others that want to wear it don’t even have the money to buy it!”
She continued nudging her lips in exasperation as she muttered under her breath, “I don’t even want to wear it!”
Although her voice was very soft, he, who was right beside her, still heard what she had said.
He decided not to pay her any heed, though, and just settled with rolling his eyes at her. He then ordered his assistant to fetch the shoes he had prepared for the occasion.
“Alright. Quickly come here and put on your war shoes, mermaid princess!” The assistant quickly returned with a pair of heels and handed them over to Lily.
She looked at the pair of heels in the stylist’s hands.
“Why is it such a pair of high heels again?! Can I get a pair with low heels, instead?” she exclaimed in exasperation.
While the heel was not thin, it was still pretty tall at eight or nine centimeters.
The heels were beautiful, though, and looked the same as those crystal shoes in fairy tales.
“No complaining. Hurry and put them on. CEO Ji should be here soon.” Lily did not give her the right to choose.
Hence, she could only put on the pair of beautiful heels in resignation.
Once she had them on, she distinctly felt that she was more elevated than before. In contrast, the ground below her feet felt flimsier.
“Now, this is perfect!” Lily gleefully praised once she was done putting the heels on.
At his praise, she only speechlessly nudged her lips and sat down on the sofa in the room.
“Alright. Everybody, get out and do your work; don’t loiter around here.”
Lily shooed everyone out the moment he finished styling Pei Ge.
“Oh...”
“Alright, Sister Lily!”
Although everyone answered him quickly, they did not immediately peel their eyes off of Pei Ge.
Even when they were out of the studio, they still could not stop talking about her.
“That Miss Pei is so mystical.”
“Yes! She looks like a country bumpkin without makeup, but once she has makeup on, she instantly becomes a huge beauty.”
“It’s all because our Sister Lily is very skilled! He can totally make something rotten into something fresh!”
“I beg to disagree. Sister Lily is indeed skilled, but Miss Pei has the making of a perfect model for our best stylist! She can pull off any look you give her!”
“I think that Miss Pei is actually very pretty from the start. She is just a little plump, and that usually hides her beauty. I bet she’ll look stunning if she slims down!”
“That is true! Miss Pei will appear beautiful if she slims down!”
While this bunch was talking about her as they walked away from the room, none of them noticed that a man in a dark-blue suit was heading toward them.
When Ji Ziming overheard the woman’s name from afar, he subconsciously eavesdropped on this bunch’s conversation.
Are these people talking about that dumb woman?
He frowned for an indecipherable reason, feeling slightly displeased at having heard them call her beautiful.
This uncomfortable feeling was akin to someone taking a liking to something he owned.
“I wonder if Miss Pei has a boyfriend...”
Inexplicably, the air in the corridor turned frigid the moment a man in the group asked this.
“That’s weird. Is the heater malfunctioning? Why does it feel a little cold all of a sudden?”
“Ahh! C-CEO Ji?!”
Just as everyone was shivering uncontrollably, someone finally spotted him walking in their direction.
“CEO Ji! Greetings!” The group carefully and respectfully greeted him.
He completely ignored their greetings and simply walked past them while emitting frigid air.
It was probably this group’s hallucination, but the man’s footsteps seemed to pause minutely before the guy who had asked if Pei Ge had a boyfriend.
Tak, tak, tak! When he was quite a distance from them, the group of poor assistants finally breathed in relief.
“Al-Almost scared me to death!”
“That’s right. CEO Ji’s aura is too domineering!”
While everyone was patting their chests, one person among them remained frozen.
Catching their breaths, the rest finally realized this abnormality.
“Hey! You okay, man?”
The guy, who had frozen on the spot, finally gave a reaction when someone tapped him.
“Oh, momma! The glare CEO Ji gave me just then is too terrifying!”
This person speaking was none other than the guy who had asked if Pei Ge had a boyfriend moments ago.
The rest widened their eyes as realization dawned on them.
“Don’t tell me that CEO Ji acted like that because of Miss Pei?!”
Everyone suddenly felt as though they had gleaned the truth!
