Let her be arrogant

Chapter 29 Rose
  "Miss Sheng."

Li Ruoshui interrupted Sheng Lanqing who was about to look at the clothes.

"With all due respect, you shouldn't be in the break room tonight, that's our place."

"I don't mean anything else," she smiled and explained, "I am Shi Yubai's mistress. To put it nicely, I am his girlfriend."

Sheng Lan understood clearly, but did not understand.

"I don't care about this. There are no grades of rooms. It is the human heart that grades them."

This was something Lu Lin had taught her. No matter how many curses were thrown at her, Lu Lin remained unmoved.

Even when the identity of Sheng Lanqing's illegitimate daughter was exposed, many people in the school fabricated rumors about Sheng Lanqing. Lu Lin sneered as she watched Sheng Lanqing collapse.

"You, my mother, have been scolded by me for so many years, and you still live a happy life? Remember, you were an illegitimate daughter when you were born, and you are still an illegitimate daughter now. No one cares about you. Only you are here Torture yourself!"

This was the only time Lu Lin showed compassion for her and comforted her not too gently.

The corners of Li Ruoshui's lips moved, wanting to say that Mr. Xi likes you so much.

You have only been away for a short time, and he comes to look for you in person.

But as she watched, Sheng Lanqing didn't seem to want to hear this.

Shi Yubai changes women faster than the seasons, almost every one or two months.

Sometimes there are several people dating at the same time.

Li Ruoshui can stay with Shi Yubai because she can manage his life carefully and help him maintain interpersonal relationships.

She didn't want to and didn't dare to offend Sheng Lanqing.

"What type of clothing does Miss Sheng like?"

Li Ruoshui changed the topic in time and introduced her enthusiastically.

"There are elegant Hanfu here, as well as cheongsam, Gothic style..."

The Hanfu and cheongsam here are very beautiful, especially the Hanfu, which is made of aqua blue fabric.

Sheng Lanqing only glanced at it, and the sentences in the Book of Songs came to mind.

"The jianjia is green and the white dew is like frost. The so-called beauty is on the side of the water."

When beauties in costume dramas meet heroes for the first time, most of them wear clothes like this, which are pure and charming.

But Xi Yu had seen her wearing Hanfu and cheongsam.

With that man's intelligence, he could easily recognize her even without a mask.

"I choose this."

Li Ruoshui looked in the direction of Sheng Lanqing's finger.

Large roses bloom on the top of the tube top skirt, and a red rose pattern ribbon is decorated on the chest, clustering out a dazzling ruby.

The matching jewelry is a rose crown with roses on the temples, a pearl headdress hanging on the forehead, and a gold hollow inlaid ruby ​​forehead ornament.

The retro red high-heeled shoes are tied with a bow on the back, bringing the elegance of the Middle Ages and the splendor of a ball.

"Miss Sheng has good taste."

Li Ruoshui sincerely praised: "This dress is very beautiful and very attractive. But it will definitely suit you very well. I will do your makeup for you."

She thoughtfully picked out makeup and other jewelry for Sheng Lanqing while Sheng Lanqing went to change clothes, and just waited for Sheng Lanqing to come out.

"It's really beautiful."

The delicate collarbone is even more fair with the ruby ​​necklace.

A large area of ​​snow-white is exposed on the chest, but the places that should be covered are tightly covered, which can arouse the man's desire to explore.

The waist is not too tight, and the slender white legs are very aesthetic.

"Passionate Baroque Rose Princess."

Li Ruoshui gently put makeup on Sheng Lanqing's face, and then thoughtfully put on the mask for her.

"However," Li Ruoshui looked at her face and asked suddenly, "Do you want Mr. Xi to recognize you, or do you want him to recognize you even more?"

Xi Yu had forced her to participate in this dance game.

Sheng Lanqing wanted to go back and rest early, but couldn't bear to refuse him.

Especially, Xi Yu will be angry after rejecting Xi Yu.

When he was angry, he had to rely on her to calm him down.

It's very tiring to spend so much time coaxing her back and forth. It’s better to just go along with his wishes from the beginning.

"I didn't think about it."

Sheng Lanqing replied sincerely.

"There is no difference between the two. They are both fake."

The conditions within a reasonable range and the so-called "entering the bridal chamber" are all under the control of the man.

As long as he doesn't want her to get even half of the benefits, then she won't get it no matter how hard she tries.

"Right."

Li Ruoshui was slightly distracted after hearing her words.

"There's nothing to fight about. Fighting over and over again is the same, and it makes people sad in vain."

Shi Yubai is the best example.

As the favored youngest son of the Shi family, he had the autonomy to marry, but he clearly never thought about getting married, let alone marrying her.

"Let's go out, it's almost time."

Li Ruoshui casually picked up the mask and put it on his face, smiling again.

The ball hall was dark, but one could vaguely see the number of people waiting slowly increasing.

Until the wall clock struck ten o'clock, the dance music became passionate.

The lights converge and disperse.

There are classical beauties dressed in Hanfu, as well as Republican-style concubines wearing top hats, Disney princesses...

Matching them are princes, warlords, and princes.

There are many people who bump into the same dress and mask.

Sheng Lanqing looked around, but didn't find anyone dressed the same as her.

Li Ruoshui saw through her thoughts and explained: "They also put a few rose skirts in the dressing room over there, but these skirts are very provocative. Ordinary people can easily dress in gaudy ways."

As soon as she finished speaking, she caught sight of the eyes coming towards Sheng Lanqing from all directions and couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, it's time for me to go. But..."

Li Ruoshui reminded meaningfully.

"Miss Sheng, be careful with men who want to change their female companions. But there are many..."

Sheng Lanqing frowned in discomfort, then carefully avoided everyone's eyes and retreated to a soft chair in the shadows.

She doesn't have that much energy to deal with so many men.

Only Xi Yu... is the exception.

Sheng Lanqing raised her hand and stroked the butterfly decoration on the mask, thinking absently.

If Xi Yu didn't find her...

What kind of small request was she going to make? Or... let him help get rid of the Sheng family?
  As soon as this thought emerged, Sheng Lanqing's heart beat a little faster than expected.

No, no!
  She calmed down quickly and couldn't express her thoughts so quickly.

As Xi Yu said, it would be foolish to show your cards too early.

She couldn't afford Xi Yu's favor...

Since it is either proactive or forced, you have to get entangled with him.

It's better to let Xi Yu willingly settle the trouble for her.

"Sheng Qingqing."

Not even halfway through the first dance, a sweet male voice sounded in Sheng Lanqing's ears.

Such a unique voice...

Sheng Lanqing couldn't even pretend not to recognize it.

"Got you."

The man held her shaking calf, and the scorching temperature made her freeze for a moment.
