Chapter 55 - 55 He Gives Her a Dress
Lin Banxia couldn't believe it, her beautiful eyes widened: "Why would you prepare a dress for me?"
"Because I knew you would come. My woman can only wear clothes bought by me." Huo Yanting's domineering personality was on full display.
"Then how did you know what size I wear?" Lin Banxia still huffed angrily as she questioned.
Huo Yanting's thin lips curved slightly, a teasing smile flickering in his eyes. His voice was light: "You probably don't remember, but I saw it that night."
"You..." Lin Banxia suddenly felt like she had asked the wrong question.
"Hurry up and change. I'm afraid Huo Qinglin's patience won't last much longer." After Huo Yanting finished speaking, this time he didn't linger to watch and turned to leave.
Lin Banxia couldn't help but roll her eyes. Honestly, there are all kinds of people in this world.
There was no other choice. Lin Banxia reluctantly changed into the dress Huo Yanting had given her. It was a passionate shade of rose red, off-shoulder, and fit her waistline perfectly.
Lin Banxia couldn't help but grit her teeth. What were that man's hands made of? Could he really figure out her size just by touch?
At least the dress was modest and didn't expose anything inappropriate.
She then took out a pair of high heels and a full set of jewelry from another bag.
Lin Banxia only put on the high heels and stuffed the jewelry into her bag. On the table, there was a full set of makeup products, and Lin Banxia took some time to fix her appearance.
After all, since Huo Qinglin was planning to propose to her today, she didn't want to make herself look cheap.
Opening the room door, she stepped out, unaccustomed to wearing high heels, and took the elevator down to the first-floor lobby.
The moment she appeared, she drew the attention of many onlookers.
"Isn't the dress she's wearing the latest design from David's couture company? I heard only one was made, and the price is exorbitantly high."
"I think it is... Who is she?"
"She's the girlfriend of the Huo Family's second young master. No wonder she's so lucky."
Not far away, Lin Shiyi, who was chatting with a group of wealthy young ladies, also turned her head and saw Lin Banxia walking in from the elevator.
The hatred in her eyes froze instantly.
"Miss Lin, isn't that your sister? The dress she's wearing is truly stunning."
"She's not my sister. I don't have such a shameless sister who would trade our grandparents' pear garden just to marry into a wealthy family." Lin Shiyi and Lin Banxia didn't get along, a fact known by almost everyone familiar with them.
"If that's the case, then she's really resourceful. To secure lifelong wealth using just a piece of land, not anyone can marry into the Huo Family." Someone expressed envy.
"The one who controls the Huo Family isn't her husband. She's celebrating too early." Lin Shiyi sneered disdainfully. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
As everyone thought of the true power-holder in the Huo Family, their eyes lit up with admiration and infinite anticipation.
"I heard Mr. Huo is also aboard the yacht tonight. I wonder if we'll get a chance to catch a glimpse of him this evening."
"I'm so nervous. If he even looks me in the eye, I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight."
"Give me a break. You're daydreaming too early. I've heard that Mr. Huo has impossibly high standards and rarely spares women a second glance."
Holding a glass of wine, Lin Shiyi elegantly swirled the liquid in her glass and smugly thought to herself, of course, Mr. Huo wouldn't spare a glance at these tacky women. She was the only one worthy of being the prey he desired to capture.
Lin Banxia felt a little out of place in such a setting. Sure enough, at the corner of her vision, there were plenty of odd glances and whispers aimed at her.
Lin Banxia straightened her shoulders, lifted her back, and made herself look even more poised and composed.
