The next day, the sky was still dark and there was a strong wind blowing.
However, the streets outside were abnormally clean. There was not even water, let alone snow.
The snowfall last night did not last long. All the snow had already melted before morning.
Xu Jiaojiao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. All the energy in her body was gone, and she was a little listless.
She had gotten worked up for nothing last night. Her plan to build a snowman had… failed.
In the afternoon, Pei Yan came over with a few people. They even brought her some clothes, shoes, and accessories.
Xu Jiaojiao watched as they hung up the clothes. She coughed lightly and looked at the man who was leisurely drinking coffee beside her.
“Isn’t this… a little too much?”
They were bringing her an entire wardrobe, just like she used to see in dramas and novels!
Qi Shenbai raised his head and met Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes. He said calmly, “Do you want me to help you pick out a few pieces?”
“Thank you, but 1 can do it myself.” Xu Jiaojiao politely declined his suggestion.
The designer smiled and introduced the gowns they had prepared today to her. “The gowns you see are all the works of a famous local designer, Qingce. Her designs are perfect for Asians like us. Mrs. Qi, you’re so beautiful, so no matter which one you choose, you can’t go wrong.”
Xu Jiaojiao nodded. Lin Qingce was well-known. The independent brand she founded, Autumn Moon, was a favorite of female celebrities.
She only knew of Qingce thanks to Luoluo. Luoluo loved that designer’s works and whispered her name into Xu Jiaojiao’s ear every day.
The designer had chosen a dark purple, diamond-studded dress for her. The hem of the dress was lighter, so she would not feel tired even if she wore it for a long time. Her long black hair was styled simply, revealing her fair face, and her makeup was very light. The stylist had abandoned the slightly mature eyeliner and only decorated her eyes with a few strokes, making her eyes look even more round and cute.
Qi Shenbai put down the magazine in his hand and turned to look at Xu Jiao jiao as she walked down the stairs. His breathing paused for a moment as he stared at her without blinking.
Xu Jiaojiao’s high heels were only six centimeters tall, but she was still very careful when she came down. She had never worn such thin heels before, so she had to get used to it for a while. The hem of her skirt dragged along the stairs as she slowly walked down, like a fairy that had descended into the mortal world.
The stylist was used to observing people’s expressions. When she saw Qi Shenbai’s gaze, she knew that she had made the right choice. “Mrs. Qi’s looks are quite sweet, so there’s no need to deliberately dress her up in a mature and enchanting way. Just a little touching up will make her look beautiful, fresh, and refined.”
Qi Shenbai did not reply. He nodded his head in satisfaction and asked Xu Jiaojiao, “How is it? Do you like it?”
His opinion was not important. What was important was whether Xu Jiao jiao liked it or not.
Xu Jiaojiao lowered her head and smiled faintly. “It’s quite pretty. 1 like it very much.”
Which girl would not want to look beautiful?
At Lijing Hotel.
Xu Jiaojiao did not want to attract too much attention, so she firmly refused to enter the venue with Qi Shenbai.
Qi Shenbai did not insist and instructed Pei Yan to bring her in.
However, Pei Yan had a lot of things to do today. This was the annual party. Many employees from the company were coming, and the company did not forbid office relationships. He had to seize the opportunity to find a match at tonight’s gala.
After checking everything in at the counter and getting the number tag for the lucky draw, Pei Yan called Tiantian over to accompany Xu Jiaojiao.
Tiantian was wearing a light green tube top dress today. When she saw Xu Jiaojiao, she could not take her eyes off her and showered her with praise. “Mrs. Qi, you don’t look like an adult at all. You look like an exquisite doll in a gown. You’re simply too cute!! Can I take a photo with you?”
Xu Jiaojiao was embarrassed by her praise. “Sure, but just call me Jiaojiao from now on.”
Tiantian immediately took out her phone and stood beside Xu Jiaojiao to take photos with her. She took more than ten photos from various angles.
Xu Jiaojiao obediently cooperated with her without the slightest bit of impatience.
After taking the photo, Tiantian realized that her job today was to take good care of Mrs. Qi. She immediately asked enthusiastically, “Mrs. Qi, do you want to eat some fruits or cakes? 1’11 go get them for you.”
“I’ll go with you.” Xu Jiaojiao smiled embarrassedly. “You should just call me Jiaojiao.”
Every time she heard the words ‘Mrs. Qi’, she would feel very shy.
Tiantian agreed readily and began to call her Jiaojiao. She then introduced the general flow of the annual party to her.
First, there would be the speech from the higher-ups. After that, there would be performances from the staff of the various departments. Finally, it would be time for the lucky draw that everyone was looking forward to the most. After all, the prizes prepared by the company every year were very generous..
