222 Trying on Clothes
Le Wan blushed at her father’s “kind reminder”. Although she wanted to say that Papa Le was overthinking things and that she and Zhai Jing might have a taste of the forbidden fruit one day because they couldn’t control their feelings, she believed that she and Zhai Jing were not reckless people who wouldn’t make any plans. Therefore, what he was worried about wouldn’t happen.
However, she was caught sneaking in from a date and returning home, and Papa Le even brought up such an explosive topic. Le Wan didn’t manage to react in time, so she missed the best chance to refute. When she woke up the next day, it would be even more difficult to mention this matter, so she could only complain in her heart.
In the morning, Papa Le suddenly sent a message to the group.
“I can’t be absent from the family dinner at the old mansion today, whether it’s Mars crashing into Earth or someone breaking their leg in a car accident!”
Everyone knew that Zhai Jing would be attending the family dinner as Le Wan’s boyfriend. Hence, they were all very enthusiastic. There was no need for Papa Le to emphasize it. All of them expressed that even if they had to fly, they would fly back to attend the family dinner.
After breakfast, Mama Le grabbed Le Wan’s hand and refused to let go.
“Baby, today is such an important day. Do you think Mama needs to change her hairstyle?”
Le Wan glanced at her curly hair, which had just been permed two days ago. For the sake of her hair, he reminded her tactfully,
“I think your current hairstyle is very beautiful. It makes you look mature and charming, but also a little playful and bright.”
Of course, the most important thing was that this was just an ordinary family dinner.
“Mom, you guys made it so Grand, but it makes me feel pressured instead.”
Mama Le disagreed.
“This is Zhai Jing’s first official visit. If we don’t show our imposing manner and energy, we will be looked down upon.”
“He dares?” Le Wan raised her eyebrows.
The truth was, Zhai Jing was an honest child. He probably didn’t have so many twists and turns in his heart. Hence, he didn’t notice whether Mama Le’s hairstyle and clothes were fashionable enough.
However, when Le Wan called Zhai Jing and found out that the other party was picking out clothes at the mall, she was stunned for a moment.
“Why are you like this too?”
“What’s wrong?” Zhai Jing didn’t understand what she meant and asked in return.
Le Wan had no choice but to tell him about her confusion.
“I think we can just have a meal together and relax. Isn’t that enough? Why did they make such a big scene just for one or two people?” This made her feel strange.
After listening to her worries, Zhai Jing smiled and said,
“This just shows that everyone loves you. So, even though it’s a small matter in your eyes, we don’t want to treat it carelessly.”
Just like him, he would feel very nervous when he thought that the people he was going to meet were Le Wan’s elders. He was afraid that he wouldn’t perform well enough and wouldn’t be able to satisfy them. They would think that he wasn’t worthy of Le Wan and wouldn’t agree to their relationship.
Since Le Wan had chosen him, Zhai Jing hoped that he could become someone who could make Le Wan proud.
Although his current strength was still weak and he couldn’t provide Le Wan with enough protection, he still hoped that he could do more, so that Le Wan’s family could be more at ease.
Therefore, he had asked for leave from Lin Hui early in the morning and then went to the mall to pick out clothes and gifts.
Although Zhai Jing’s words were not very clear, how could Le Wan not understand? However, it was precisely because she understood that she felt more and more pressure. Speaking of which, this could be considered a sweet burden.
Zhai Jing was holding two suits in his hands. He was a little hesitant.
“Do you think I should choose the black one or the Royal blue one?”
Le Wan looked at the screen.
“Why don’t you try them on?”
After all, the screen was too small, and it was difficult to see the difference.
Zhai Jing followed her advice and changed into the black suit.
As soon as he came out of the cubicle, Le Wan’s sharp ears picked up the wailing sounds from the other side of the phone. She looked up and saw Zhai Jing in the mirror.
Black clothes made him look thin, and the suit emphasized the figure.
Therefore, when Zhai Jing wore the black suit, it made him look even taller, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He also had a noble aura. No one would be able to guess that he was a poor boy a month ago.
It could only be said that some people didn’t look like the crown prince when they wore the dragon robe, while some people looked extraordinary even when they wore a piece of rag. Zhai Jing obviously belonged to the latter.
Although he was only 18 years old this year, he had taken on the burden of his family at such a young age. In addition, he had been working part-time for a few years, which made him more mature and steady than people his age. Coupled with his handsome appearance, they complemented each other well.
