Chapter 37: The Noble Beauty Leaves the World Behind

  "Thanks, Ye Jie."

  Ning Meng was surrounded by several women, a cheongsam, without even having time to see its appearance, was already put on her body, and then she was pushed in front of the mirror. Ye Qingyun surprisingly took it upon herself to style Ning's hair. Goodness, this woman was indeed an expert, with just a few light tugs, like magic, her own straight hair had become a loose bun, without any other adornments on her head, only a silver hairpin with a blue base and pink accents passing through, revealing several delicate plum blossoms at the end, as if spring was bursting forth from the branch, charming and playful.

  "Miss Ning, it's done, stand up and take a look..." Ye Qingyun pushed her in front of the mirror.

  Is this her? Ning Meng blinked and was stunned.

  In front of her was a slender figure, with smooth and delicate lines that hugged her body, revealing beautiful curves. The cheongsam was elegant, with a moon-white base, rolling with bright orchid edges, and the pattern was dark blue lotus leaves, with veins and branches scattered in a pleasing way, and the shadows were shallow and slanting. The style was also quite unique, with a small standing collar surrounding her slender neck, and a diagonal edge on her chest with a dense row of buttons shaped like a dragonfly, like a delicate lock, mysterious and unique.

  Her eyebrows were lightly painted, her lips had a touch of honey-colored powder, and her face was covered with a light layer of powder that brightened her complexion, giving off an air of freshness and naturalness. Under the wall lamp's reflection, she seemed to have a hint of the elegance of a Republic-era beauty who stood out from the crowd.

  Manager Ye smiled lightly, "General Manager Guan indeed has an eye for talent, Miss Ning's temperament is unique and extremely suitable for the clothing of Zǐ Yī Fāng. Just now, being dressed so casually, the effect was immediate, feeling very different from others."

  "It's all thanks to Ye Jie's skillful hands that I'm dressed up so nicely." Ning Meng raised an eyebrow, sincerely praising.

  Manager Ye had a smile at the corner of his mouth.

  She stroked the soft fabric on her body and the delicate buttons, thinking that if she sold herself, it would probably not be worth several pieces of clothing here.

  There were footsteps beside her, she turned around and saw Guan Xuan standing beside her, scanning her from head to toe, his face calm and unruffled. "Not bad, not a piece of rotten wood that can't be carved."

  This smelly man, will he lose a piece of flesh if I praise him? Ning Meng is so angry that she grits her teeth.

  "Manager Wang, this garment is too exquisite, what if it gets damaged... Are you going to deduct her salary for it? Please, she's only working here because she has no other choice."

  He turned around, gave her a sideways glance, seemingly seeing through her little trick, and smiled slightly, "Don't worry about it, just consider it your temporary overtime pay."

  It's better to give her money, which is more practical. One day when we're so poor that we can't even afford to cook a meal, perhaps selling these clothes back will get us some cash.

  As Ning Meng walked down the stairs, wearing seven-inch high heels, she stepped on each step carefully, and when she turned a corner, "crack"... Ning Meng was startled, and an arm had already reached out from beside her, wrapping around her waist, "Be careful..."

  The two of them were too close, his eyebrows raised, and his eyes shone with a quiet light. The familiar fragrance wafted around her ears, and Ning Meng's heart skipped a beat. "Cough...not used to it," she said, seeing Guan Xuan staring at her, hastily smoothing out her skirt to cover up.

  Guan Xian looked at her awkward appearance and suddenly felt a good mood, muttering to himself, "Wearing it for a long time will get you used to it." How can she get used to it? She was just an office clerk who ran around all day, without even having time to drink tea or read the newspaper. When would she have the chance to wear such exquisite clothes again?

  Ning Meng felt his hand loosen a bit, but he didn't intend to let go. She struggled for a moment, and then his hand tightened again...

  "You..." She blushed with anger.

  Guan Xian gently placed his hand on her waist, leaned in close to her ear and said, "Take care of your lady friend... such a gentlemanly demeanor, I still have."

  Pretending to be a gentleman to swindle money?
