Chasing after marriage and lock love: sweet little sweet wife

Chapter 25
"Your young master?" Mu Wanzhi looked puzzled.

"It's Master Huo Sijue. I didn't see Miss Mu just now. I thought you weren't here, but I didn't expect you to be here. I'm really sorry. It's my negligence for not letting you change into your dress in time."

The old butler apologized with guilt, and then led the way.

Mu Wanzhi hesitated for a while, then hurriedly followed.

Hmph, she really wanted to see what kind of dress that smelly man prepared for her!
……

After Mu Wanzhi left, the guests present didn't react too much, they just thought she was driven away by the housekeeper.

However, within half an hour, there was another commotion in the banquet hall.

This time, everyone's attention was still attracted by the figure that appeared at the door.

The girl was wearing an ivory evening dress, with exquisite lines close to her waist, outlining her exquisite figure. Her long black hair like a waterfall was loosely rolled up and fixed with a hairpin, classic and elegant. .

She has a beautiful face, light makeup, which makes her facial features more delicate, a pair of smart eyes are as bright as stars, coupled with her soft and graceful temperament, she is so beautiful that it is impossible to find anything.

"Who is that?" The same question was completely different from when Mu Wanzhi first appeared on the stage.

The previous time was shocking, this time it was amazing!

"Then... isn't that the woman who left just now?"

"What? Impossible, how could it be her, she just now..."

"It's her, but the difference is too big, isn't it? It's almost like two people."

"It's so beautiful! Especially that dress. If I remember correctly, it should be made by the famous designer Gu Qinghong. I just won a design award from abroad a while ago. There is only one piece in the world, and the price has been skyrocketed." gone."

"I also remember that this dress seems to be called 'Qinglian', which incorporates classical elements in it, especially the blooming lotus on the waist, which is simply too beautiful!"

Under the amazed eyes of everyone, Mu Wanzhi entered slowly from the outside, completely different from the timid look before.Not only more self-confidence, but also a touch of nobility.

After she came in, she walked through the crowd slowly, and finally stood still in front of Yan Ruyi, with apologetic eyes, she said: "Auntie, it was really rude to come in like that, and I came here to apologize to you."

Her words were gentle and polite, and her attitude was very sincere. Yan Ruyi didn't want to continue to make things difficult, so she waved her hands and said, "Forget it, since I changed the dress, I won't pursue it."

However, she was a little surprised.

I didn't expect this woman to look so good-looking when she dressed up, and her temperament was even better than Lu Manxi's.

"Hmph, even if the ugly duckling wears colorful clothes, it's impossible to turn into a phoenix."

Huo Xinyan's mouth is still unforgiving, anyway, she just doesn't like Mu Wanzhi, even if Mu Wanzhi becomes a fairy, she doesn't like it either!

As for Lu Manxi, although her face remained calm, there was already a smoldering jealousy in her eyes.

She fell in love with Mu Wanzhi's evening dress a long time ago, and tried her best to find a relationship.Wanting to buy it, he managed to contact Gu Qinghong, only to learn that the dress had already been bought.

At that time, she was full of regrets, but she didn't expect that Huo Sijue bought the dress first and gave it to Mu Wanzhi.

At this time, some time had passed since the dinner party, and the guests came to greet Yan Ruyi one after another. At this moment, a noble lady came to Yan Ruyi with a congratulatory gift: "Mrs. Huo, I heard that you like Suzhou embroidery. I went to Suzhou and saw a cheongsam that fits your temperament very well, and the Suzhou embroidery on it is even more exquisite, so I specially brought it for you, I hope you like it."

The banquet itself was just an ordinary gathering, so most of the guests who came to attend came empty-handed. When the lady brought out the gift, everyone woke up and paid attention to the ceremony.

Yan Ruyi also seemed a little surprised, but she was used to this kind of scene, so she quickly came to her senses and nodded: "You have a heart."

When the words fell, people put the things away.

Although she didn't express anything special, that slight nod was considered a kind of recognition, and the lady couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and was secretly happy.

After that, several noble ladies came forward to give gifts, and Yan Ruyi accepted them all, while the remaining guests who didn't bring presents couldn't help but feel annoyed secretly.

Such a good chance to curry favor, unexpectedly just missed it!
At this moment, Lu Manxi, who had been silent all this time, also said, "Aunt Ru, I also prepared a big gift for you."

"Oh?" Yan Ruyi frowned slightly.

"What is what? Sister Manxi, quickly take it out, I want to see it!" Huo Xinyan urged curiously.

Lu Manxi smiled slightly, took out a palm-sized gift box, and handed it over.

Huo Xinyan couldn't wait to grab it and open it...

In the palm-sized gift box, lay quietly a fire unicorn carved from fire diamonds. It looked lifelike, with fine sideburns, long beards, and facial expressions all carved out. To the touch, it was even more delicate than jade. Flickering slightly, it seems to be swallowing flames, so dazzling that it is almost impossible to open your eyes.

After seeing the presents, the guests all gasped, secretly shocked by Lu Manxi's extravagant spending.

Such a small ornament is worth a lot at first glance.

"so beautiful!"

Huo Xinyan couldn't put it down and looked at it again and again, even Yan Ruyi liked it very much.

"Manxi, where did you get this thing?"

"I bought it from a famous master sculptor, and it took a lot of thought. But as long as my aunt likes it." Lu Manxi said softly.

"Thank you, you have worked so hard. This is the most surprising gift I have received tonight." Yan Ruyi looked at Lu Manxi with satisfaction in her eyes.

While everyone was amazed, Huo Xinyan suddenly glanced at Mu Wanzhi behind her, and said loudly on purpose: "Sister Manxi really has a heart, unlike some people who didn't even wear a dress and had to ask my brother to prepare it. Come to think of it, You probably didn't prepare any presents, did you?"

When Mu Wanzhi heard this, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

It's true that she didn't prepare anything, and even if she did, it wouldn't be anything valuable, and she couldn't compare with these rich wives.

Just when Mu Wanzhi didn't know what to do, the old butler who had been waiting not far away stepped forward again and whispered in her ear: "Miss Mu, our young master asked you to draw a portrait of Madam."

Mu Wanzhi froze for a moment, and looked at him with some hesitation.

With the expensive gift from Lu Manxi in front of her, will the old lady still care about her portrait?

The old housekeeper seemed to be able to guess what she was thinking, and said again: "The young master said that the most important thing about a gift is the thought, not the price."

When Mu Wanzhi heard this, she could only agree.

For the current plan, this is the only way, it is better than nothing.

Seeing that she agreed, the old butler immediately waved his hand.

And as his movements fell, two waiters quickly brought the drawing board, as well as some paints and paper.
