Chapter 92 - Cat Eyes
Zhenyi came back to home correction -- to Long Jie's Villa after paying a visit to Sam and Cao Feng. When she left the crime scene, she told her driver to take her to the hospital as she didn't wish to go back to XC where piles of problems were waiting for her. Moreover, she was yet to meet her best friend after the day of the accident.
Zhenyi found Sam in deep slumber, the once strong and tough man was now supported by the machines. Only she knew, how much she wished for him to wake up and annoy the hell out of her with his creepy and cringe jokes. What she missed the most were his childish tantrums. They had been through thick and thin, and she believed he would come back soon to her.
The once shittest day transformed into a happier one when the doctor informed her that Cao Feng had woken up and Sam was doing much better than before and could wake up anytime soon.
Mrs. Xie was supervising the servants when she saw Zhenyi entering the living room. It was an odd time to come home but who was she to complain.
"Good afternoon, Young madam," Mrs. Xie greeted her.
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Xie."
"Should I prepare tea or some snacks for you?" Mrs. Xie asked with a smile.
"That would be lovely. Would you please ask someone to prepare a bath for me?"
"Indeed, Madam," Mrs. Xie said with a professional smile."Just give me few minutes." With this, she left the living room.
Instead of going back to her room, Zhenyi sat on the couch in the living room and after contemplating for a few minutes, she decided to give a call to her father as she had not talked to him since the wedding. Such an unfilial daughter she was.
"Ah, Zin'er, how are you, my princess?" Xin Yichen hearty voice rang in her ears. And just like this all her exhaustion and tensions evaporated into the air.
"Greeting, Bà. I am good. How are you doing?"
"I am perfect now that you have called. Did that Long lad bullied my daughter?"Xin Yichen asked.
"He wouldn't dare, you did an awesome job in scaring him." Zhenyi chuckled."By the way, is he there?"
The 'he ' didn't refer to Long Jie but to someone whose name is not taken in public.
"If you mean by 'he', 'my father in my son's body, then no, he went to God knows which continent for God knows how long."Xin Yichen grumbled.
Zhenyi pursed her lips. "Bà."
"Can you believe what that little lad told me?"
"What?"
"He told me, no more like chided me to cultivate into new hobbies except music. Moreover, according to him, I am not charming enough as my charm is fading with my old age."Xin Yichen told Zhenyi in a complaining tone.
"Since when did you started acting like a kid?"Zhenyi furrowed her brows.
"Since the time my kids decided to play adult," retorted Xin Yichen.
Ugh...
"He left without meeting me?"Zhenyi tried to change the topic.
"He didn't even meet your yèyè. Said will be returning soon."
"So, a storm is on the way?" Zhenyi asked.
"Maybe..."
"Young Madam, your tea and snacks. And your bath water is ready," came a voice from Zhenyi's side.
"Drink your tea in peace. I know you have a tiring day."
"Love you, Princess."
"Yeah...yeah."Zhenyi awkwardly said.
****
After soaking in the bathtub for almost thirty minutes, and finishing at least half of the wine bottle, Zhenyi came out of the water with a stumble.
Lord, she was tipsy in a broad daylight.
She grabbed a bathrobe and directly went to her closet. Looking at the dresses hung in the closet, she was having a headache. There were uncountable clothes in her wardrobe including the dresses she had not chosen which definitely meant it was bought by her husband.
One would be shocked if they knew that never in her whole life, Zhenyi went on shopping. Each and every item in her closet was chosen by her personal stylist.
She heard a knock on the door and said to come in.
"Ah, I am sorry for disturbing you, young madam."Mrs. Xie said when she saw Zhenyi in the bathrobe.
"No, actually you come at the right time."Zhenyi immediately said.
"Help me to choose an outfit for the dinner."Since she was having a hard time deciding the dress, she asked Mrs. Xie for help.
"Sure."
Mrs. Xie peeked into the closet and her eyes fell on a very gorgeous white satin dress. She pulled it out from the hanger and showed it to Zhenyi who was impressed with Mrs. Xie's taste.
"This one. It will be perfect on you with the right shoes and jewelry, of course."Mrs. Xie said and gave it to Zhenyi.
"Just earings, Mrs. Xie. Preferably none gold," said Zhenyi.
Zhenyi changed into the dress and when she looked at her reflection in the mirror, she was in awe of her own beauty. She was aware of the fact that she was a very beautiful and attractive woman, but it was in the rare event that she took the initiative to look good. The dress was a satin pure white backless short dress with puffed short sleeves. It ended a little below her knees and hugged her body very beautifully. The dress looked slightly conservative from the front but at back, it was insanely sexy, enough to drive any man insane. She paired it with nude heels and simple earnings. And of course, her signature red lipstick was intact on her lips. Her hair was combed nicely into a low bun.
When Mrs. Xie was applying eyeliner on Zhenyi, she noticed something unusual.
"Ah, you have different eyes?"Mrs. Xie asked in surprise.
"I do. Genetic mutation or an eye disorder. You can call it whatever."Zhenyi casually said.
Drunk or tipsy Zhenyi was unguarded and nonchalant. And she was aware of the fact that was why she avoided drinking in front of people.
"But it's beautiful... You have a very unusual eye shape too?"Mrs. Xie had not seen eyes as beautiful as hers, so she couldn't help but praise it.
"Really, I never noticed?" asked Zhenyi in surprise.
"Yeah... Like the eyes of cats," blurted Mrs. Xie.
"Oh, I'm sorry."She apologized when she realized what she had said.
"It's okay." Zhenyi chuckled." Even my husband likes calling me cat eyes. And I suppose I don't dislike it."
