Chapter 239: It is impossible for this Adonis to be interested in Pei Ge.

“Change it,” Ji Ziming coldly ordered Lily, who was currently staring at him with shock.

Lily uncontrollably shivered in fear at his order.

“That – That…” He shifted his gaze between Ji Ziming and Pei Ge before saying softly, “This outfit suits Miss Pei the most. She will definitely be the center of attention at that banquet with this evening gown!”

“Change,” he unblinkingly ordered again.

“If she change into another evening gown, it won’t be as stunning as this one,” Lily swallowed and, enduring the pressure coming from the man, said this.

I am a stylist who is faithful to my profession, so I must persevere in this and insist on my ideas!

“Change!” Ji Ziming narrowed his eyes at Lily as his voice dropped an octave.

Lily gulped and put on an almost-crying expression. “CEO Ji, all the evening gowns in our salon have a similar style to this one Miss Pei is wearing. There is really not much difference whether she changes into another gown or not.”

Hng, hng, hng! I am about to lose this fight!

Ji Ziming glared daggers at Lily and then phoned Du Wen.

“Go buy an evening gown that will suit Pei Ge without revealing any part of her.”

Pei Ge, who was feeling a little angry inside, was so touched when she heard him give this order.

As for Lily who was braving the storm, he was currently spitting inside at Ji Ziming’s ‘without revealing any part of her’ statement.

Hur hur! Is it still called an evening gown if it doesn’t reveal anything?! Are you sure you understand fashion?! If you want her to wear something of that kind, then why don’t you just wrap a blanket around her and be done with it?!

“What?” Ji Ziming suddenly frowned. “There is not enough time?”

The moment the man started frowning, Pei Ge got this feeling that she would be unable to change out of this outfit, and his next words only confirmed this.

It was past 2 P.M. now. Since it was a late-afternoon banquet, even if she did not know its exact start, she could more or less tell that it would begin no later than 3 P.M.

Based on this, there was really insufficient time to buy another outfit.

She was thinking of backing out from attending the banquet with the man when his next words changed her mind and she decided to accompany him even while wearing this revealing evening gown.

“Just do what I told you.” He did not hesitate even for a second to order this.

Her mood considerably improved at that. She looked at the cold-faced Ji Ziming and softly said, “Forget it; I’ll just wear this outfit if we are pressed for time. Anyway, Lily said I can wear a shawl on top of it to cover a little.”

Hearing her say this, Lily quickly came up to her with a smile. “Yes, yes, yes! She can wear this shawl on top! CEO Ji, Miss Pei won’t be too exposed after putting this on.”

You’ve got to be kidding me! I spent such a long time transforming this slightly plump, country bumpkin into a seductively stunning goddess. I can’t just let you ruin it easily!

I am hoping for Miss Pei to represent my work at the banquet and attract a bevy of rich mistresses and madams!

Ji Ziming raised an eyebrow at Pei Ge’s smiling face and Lily’s words and then hung up the call.

“The shawl?” He gave Lily an indifferent look.

“Oh, oh! I will help Miss Pei put on the shawl now!” Lily happily unfolded the big shawl in his hands when Ji Ziming finally conceded.

She blinked her eyes at the nearly transparent shawl and muttered inside, Is there any use in putting this shawl on?

“Miss Pei, may I trouble you to sit in this chair? I will put this shawl on for you.” Lily gave her an ingratiating look. He now realized that Pei Ge and Ji Ziming’s relationship was not simple!

I originally thought it’s impossible for this Adonis to be interested in such an old-fashioned country bumpkin, but I was terribly mistaken!

Look at how CEO Ji is treasuring this country girl like a pearl; he doesn’t even let her wear something that is a little bit revealing. Tsk, tsk, tsk! Such possessiveness! This is definitely true love!

Pei Ge obediently sat in the chair and allowed Lily to arrange the shawl on her shoulders the way he wanted.

She really could not fathom why Lily had to help her put on the shawl.

Isn’t it just a shawl? One can put it on like how they do with a scarf! Why does he need to make it seem so troublesome?!

“Alright, CEO Ji, please take a look. Is this to your satisfaction?” Lily admired his handiwork with a satisfied expression. He then proudly looked at Ji Ziming.

Pei Ge stood up from the chair once Lily announced that he was done.

Ji Ziming’s eyes glazed over as he inspected the woman who was now wearing a shawl.

Her twin peaks and deep cleavage were now covered by a layer of shimmery gold fabric.

The chiffon shawl was translucent and as thin as feather. It was clearly covering the seductive landscape on her chest, yet the shawl somehow made that part more alluring to onlookers.

The voluminous enticement that could only indistinctly be seen was actually more bewitching than if it were totally exposed.

At least, it commanded all of Ji Ziming’s attention. His deep and hot gaze remained fixed at the covered area of her chest.

Feeling his gaze, Pei Ge lowered her head and looked at her chest with puzzlement.

Although she could see that this translucent fabric was covering her chest, she could not come to terms that it was a shawl!

The shawl in her mind was thick and opaque, or, at the very least, was not translucent…

“Lily, are you sure this is a shawl?” Her mouth twitched as she asked this with exasperation.

For some reason, she felt that wearing this shawl was no better than not wearing any.

“Of course, it is! How is it? Miss Pei should be satisfied with it, right?” Lily nodded his head, feeling extremely pleased with her appearance.

Eyeing her from head to toe, Lily silently rejoiced inside, This is simply too perfect! That sapphire brooch I used to fasten the shawl completed the look I was going for! I really have to bow down to my ability!

“It’s alright.” Feeling Lily’s fervent gaze on her, she pouted and did not comment further to avoid giving his pride a massive blow.

“CEO Ji, let’s go. Aren’t we in a hurry?” She walked to Ji Ziming’s side and softly asked this.

“Okay.” Ji Ziming extended his powerful palm and held her slim and tender one.
