Chapter 1525: Chapter 1540: You’re Courting Death

Xiao Xiao held it up again, her eyes narrowing slightly, unable to hide how much she liked it, yet she said worriedly, "Will I be too high-profile if I wear this?"

"No, put it on and let me see."

In no time, Xiao Xiao was dressed in a water-blue mermaid gown, with a pair of silver-white lace-up stilettos on her feet, making her already shapely figure look even taller and more graceful.

An Ran turned around and couldn’t help blurting out, "Fuck, Young Master Chen can totally save the endorsement fee for Mikael. Next season’s new collection, just put you on the posters and it’ll definitely be a hit."

"Quit teasing me," Xiao Xiao’s face, already being mocked by An Ran, looked a bit unnatural, but staring at the girl in the dressing mirror, she still curved her lips in satisfaction.

"Click."

The sound of a camera went off. Xiao Xiao turned her head and saw An Ran pointing her phone at her, snapping a photo. A bad premonition rose in her heart.

"You—" Before she could finish, she saw An Ran had already sent that photo to the bros group chat.

After sending it, An Ran even shook her phone proudly—someone this pretty obviously had to be shared with everyone.

Xiao Xiao could only be helpless with her. Anyway, she knew everyone in that group, so she didn’t bother arguing. She picked up her own phone and tapped open the group chat; there were already four or five new messages.

The first one to pop up was actually Sun Wangbei: Holy fucking shit, where’d this girl come from, is she trying to steal my artist’s job?

Chen Yankun: For tomorrow’s spring collection launch, I’ve decided to change the spokesperson.

Sun Wangbei: Third Bro, for the sake of our brotherhood, let me remind you of one thing—you’re asking for death here.

Chen Yankun: People die for money, birds die for food. I have a feeling our company’s new products next year will be a massive hit.

Gu Haoyu: Agreed.

...

Xiao Xiao happily skimmed through their chat log, then put her phone away. No one dislikes being praised by others. It’s just that she hadn’t seen any messages from that man, which still left her a bit disappointed.

She checked the time. That guy must be in training again.

The two of them finished getting ready a little after ten. Wang Xiaoyi’s opening ceremony was set for 11:58; supposedly her boyfriend had specially asked a master to pick that time.

As for this new boyfriend of hers, the two of them hadn’t met him yet. They only knew he wasn’t the one they’d run into before in Imperial City, and that he was extremely devoted to Wang Xiaoyi—the clothing studio was funded and opened for her by this new boyfriend.

Fang Hui was already waiting downstairs for the two of them. Once they got in the car, they headed straight for the address they’d been given.

An Ran, in an off-white dress, sat in the back seat, squinting her eyes with laughter as she looked at the group chat on her phone. Xiao Xiao kept pinching the soft flesh at her waist.

An Ran laughed and dodged, then suddenly sat up straight. "Fuck, Brother Yang showed up."

Xiao Xiao’s hand stopped at An Ran’s waist, and even her expression stiffened a bit unnaturally.

Borrowing a look at An Ran’s phone, she saw that certain someone’s first message was two big "fuck"s.

Before she could see the follow-up, Xiao Xiao’s own phone started ringing.

Seeing the flashing name on the screen, An Ran scooted to the side, trying her best to lower her presence. Xiao Xiao raised a fist at her in mock threat, then, like a guilty little wife who’d done something wrong, picked up the call and softly said hello.

"What the hell are you, woman, doing dressed like that in broad daylight?"

Xiao Xiao, as if she had foresight, moved the phone away from her ear. Listening to the man’s roar, she rolled her eyes dramatically. What kind of question was that, like she was going off to do something shady. If she doesn’t dress like this in broad daylight, is she supposed to dress like this at night?
