073: Highschool Reunion (1)

Yue Xuexia's preparation for the reunion was done at the reserved Presidential Suite in the Crowned Regent Hotel. Tan Bingyu had tasked people with preparing a set of evening gowns made by famous designers. These designers were asked to fly over for this situation. When they arrived at the Crowned Regent Hotel, they were stunned that they were called because the client was about to attend a mere reunion with her high school classmates and felt belittled by this event.

A lot of designers had left without looking back, as they didn't believe that their gowns should be worn at a mere reunion party. In the end, only one remained, and this was a close friend of Tan Bingyu before she fell into a coma.

Actually, most evening gowns were designer gowns bought overseas. For situations like this, it was done abruptly, so most gowns were late trends. Tan Bingyu had gathered all the personnel to help her with the makeover of her mistress. But when the designers left, she didn't care much about them; one of them remained.

The designer is called Lydia Dylan. Real name, Luan Xinyue. A famous evening gown designer had her latest dress auctioned for 50 million dollars. It's a rose motif, deep crimson backless, mermaid-type evening gown with a fishtail. With real diamonds used as design and silky-type cloth that enhances a person's curves. But the one who bought this dress failed to make it glow as it's supposed to. There is no one in this world with a perfect figure or natural immortal beauty. The buyer returned the dress, which became a black spot in Dylan's reputation.

Suddenly, her best friend, Tan Bingyu, called her for help. She wanted to buy some of her ready-made evening gowns. As it was done without enough preparation, the nicest gown she brought is the one that failed to live up to her reputation. An evening gown is something no mortal can wear.

Yue Xuexia arrived at the hotel at 6 pm and was welcomed at the door by the personnel as always. It was such a big scene, and the main characters even came out from a Cullinan extended. Everyone's eyes landed on the lady wearing ordinary-looking shorts, which revealed her long, thin, jade-like legs, and her hoodie changed to a crop top after Yue Xuexia fully digested all the chicken they ate this morning.

"Welcome, Mistress!"

Yue Xuexia just nods her head and walks inside the hotel, leading a group of hotel managers led by Tan Bingyu and surrounded by a group of bodyguards. Those who recognized her lowered their heads in greeting, while those new ones couldn't help but look at her longer because of her immortal-like features and fairy-like beauty.

Some designers who stayed at the hotel after rejecting the job offered to them saw Yue Xuexia's entourage, and seeing her beauty was like seeing a once-in-a-lifetime muse.

"My lady, please wait!"

"Miss. Give us some time."

These designers were blocked by the bodyguards and couldn't even approach Yue Xuexia.

Yue Xuexia asked, "Who are these people?"

"Mistress, there are famous designers invited by Miss Tan to prepare your evening gown for tonight. They already rejected the job, but they were given a day stay in the hotel, so..." Executive Manager Zhan explained.

Meanwhile, the designers, who heard that the client for this evening was a fairy-like lady in front of them, collectively turned pale.

Yue Xuexia asked, "Everyone left? What am I supposed to wear tonight then?"

"No, Mistress. One person remained. She is my friend, but I assure you, she is a famous designer for evening gowns herself," Tan Bingyu said.

Yue Xuexia said, "Then she would be enough. Throw out the rest. I'm in a hurry." She walked towards the elevator, followed by Tan Bingyu.

As for Executive Manager Zhan, since he received his new task, he has remained to handle the end results for these arrogant designers.

"The owner of the Crowned Regent Hotel spoke. Your consumption for the whole day will be tallied. Please pay before you leave."

Meanwhile, Designer Lydia Dylan was escorted to the Presidential Suite owned by Yue Xuexia under the command of Executive Manager Zhan after receiving the message that the Mistress was on her way to the hotel.

Lydia Dylan was waiting silently in the living room inside the suite with her assistants. The assistants were terrified. Even though their master is a famous designer, reserving a presidential suite of this size is impossible.

"This Presidential Suite is customized. The interior design is minimalist, but each piece of furniture, down to the walls and carpet, is made with high-class materials. That long Chinese painting... That's Fu Baoshi's 'Magnificent View of Maoshan Mountain," Lydia Dylan said.

"Master, what kind of client do we have today? Would that dress even fit her? That's the only gown we have brought with us."

"But that evening gown is something no mortal can wear. Even famous celebrities in Hollywood can't wear it beautifully. The one who bought it for $50 million even refunded it after saying she looked like shrimp after wearing it. It's her fault that her legs aren't long enough, her boobs aren't big enough, and her waist is thin enough. Hmp!"

"If a famous celebrity can't wear it, what can an ordinary rich person do?"

Bang!

A loud sound of someone opening the door of the room was heard. An immortal fairy-like lady with silky long hair appeared before Lydia Dylan and her assistants eyes.

"Wow~ a goddess."

"How can someone be this gorgeous!?"

"Look at her proportions. Those long legs. Fuck!"

"Watch your tongue." Lydia Dylan scolded her assistants and approached Yue Xuexia.

Yue Xuexia asked, "Are you the friend of Sister Bingyu? Have you brought me my evening gown?"

"Yeah, but there is only one," Lydia said.

Yue Xuexia said, "That's fine. I'll take a bath. You guys can make the preparations. As Sister Bingyu, for anything you need," she hurriedly walked back to her room and prepared something before going to take a bath.

Tan Bingyu arrived on time and was welcomed with the dumbfounded faces of her friends and group of assistants.

"Xinyue, you are here already! Great! Where is the evening gown? Where's the mistress? Oh, had she gone to take a bath? Does the living room have enough room? Wait, I will ask people to make some space," Tan Bingyu said.

Lydia Dylan grabbed her friend. "That fairy lady just now. Is she really the client!?"

"Yes, don't worry. She asked how much the gown cost. I told her that it sold for 50 million dollars but was returned because it didn't fit the buyer. She said he didn't mind and would buy it for double the price, 100 million dollars," Tan Bingyu said.

Lydia Dylan and her assistants exclaimed, "What!?"

"Anyway, hurry and prepare the clothes. The jewelry and shoes will be sent to this room soon. You must choose what fits with the gown. The party the mistress will attend is at 8 pm. It's almost 6:30; we only have an hour and a half left to prepare," Tan Bingyu said.

Half an hour later, Yue Xuexia just finished her warm bath and spa massage and is now wearing a black bathrobe. When she comes out to look for her gown, she sees Tan Bingyu, the designers, and the assistants waiting for her. The living room of her suite was rearranged into a temporary makeup room. There are a hair stylist and make-up artists left in the room. All of them were female.

As expected, when everyone saw Yue Xuexia's face and figure, even as a female, they couldn't help but feel attracted to her. Tan Bingyu held the chair for her mistress.

Tan Bingyu said, "Mistress, take a seat first. Please leave the rest to these people."

"Um. Please begin," Yue Xuexia said.

The people inside the room looked at one another and started working. Some manicured Yue Xuexia's hands and feet. The other's help with her hair. Some work on her face.

"How come her skin is too soft and smooth? I'm afraid I might accidentally hurt her."

"Her hair is too smooth. As if I am holding silk threads."

"Her natural face is perfect. I can't hold back blushing. The goddess's phoenix-shaped eyes are seductive."

Tan Bingyu scolded, "Stop talking and start moving your hands!"

"Yes~"

Everyone in the room was practically drooling over the exquisite and seductive woman wearing a deep crimson evening gown. Yue Xuexia's luscious chest is emphasized by a low v-cut from the front. Yue Xuexia's small yet exquisite waist was perfectly secured by the mermaid-style gown. She also had the ideal proportions for her butt and waist. It looked just firm enough, not overly so. Yue Xuexia's long, silky legs resemble jade when she walks, and this is seen through the front slit of the dress.

Her long hair was styled in a fishtail braid, adorned with a few ruby diamond hairpins shaped like roses. Her long braided hair hides the backless section, which shows when she moves. Her spine moves with every stride, revealing a flawless white back. Yue Xuexia has the appearance of a contemporary princess from a very affluent household. Stunning and refined. Her almost aloof and arrogant manner makes it difficult to look away from her.

"A goddess lost in the modern world!"

"Wow~ how this dress fits someone like this. As if this evening gown was made only for her."

"Isn't this the gown auctioned for 50 million? I heard it didn't fit the buyer. A celebrity can even wear it properly. My goddess can wear it casually!"

"Goddess, can I take a picture?"

"Me too!"

"My lady, I would like to offer my services to you. Please let me become your exclusive designer!" Lydia Dylan said. "Of course, I mean an exclusive designer of your Yue Family."

Yue Xuexia looked at her comfortable evening gown, which enhanced her face, body proportions, and elegance. She was completely satisfied.

"My family members aren't as beautiful as me, but their appearance is above average. Are you willing to serve them designs that would fit them each and not just collectively?" Yue Xuexia asked.

Lydia Dylan said, "Please leave it to me. Each person had different designs that fit them. I also need to keep their personalities and habits in mind. I will never make clothes indiscriminately and wouldn't fit people at all. This I promise."

"My family is composed of my father, mother, two younger sisters, and grandmother plus I. Let Sister Bingyu handle the rest of your contract. Let's try your design for this winter season. If my family likes it, the contract shall be extended," Yue Xuexia said.

Lydia Dylan and her assistants were given an opportunity to serve the goddess and were delighted. The hairstylist and makeup artists wanted to offer themselves, but Yue Xuexia declined. She isn't the type to make too many arrangements for her face and hair. Plus, her beauty products are especially made by her, and she didn't have any intention of sharing them outside of her family.

After Tan Bingyu escorted the people, Yue Xuexia remained in the Presidential Suite alone. She is waiting for Chen Yiling and Hu Yiran to call her. She had already sent the location of her presidential suite to them. The two wanted to pick her up.

While waiting, Yue Xuexia was about to take a nap when she suddenly knocked on her door.

Knock. Knock.

Yue Xuexia said, "The door is open."

She was expecting Chen Yiling and Hu Yiran to appear by the door but was stunned to see a familiar yet unfamiliar face. He had only seen this handsome man with abstinence. But his red hair gives a different feeling, as if this person is a passionate man, especially those inhumane crimson-gold eyes.

Frowning, Yue Xuexia felt she knew this person. She was about to ask until the man called her name with such intimacy and made her recall that this man is similar to.

"Xue'er?"

His slight, hoarse, yet magnetic voice lingers in Yue Xuexia's ears, but this way of calling alone made her recognize who this man is.

"Yangyang? What happened to you? How can you suddenly... grow up? Moreover, why do I feel like that suit you are wearing is paired with my gown?"

This adult version of Taiyang is not Taiyang, but the system pretends to be Taiyang. As per the request of the two young ladies of the Yue Family, a handsome adult man had arrived at Yue Xuexia's room.

"Um. This suit is intentional to keep the pest away. Your siblings told me to escort you, but my former younger appearance will be contrasting to your beauty. I can only adjust my body to become your perfect escort. Moreover, there is food there."

As soon as Yue Xuexia heard the last sentence, she believed that this handsome, mature man in front of him was definitely Taiyang.

Chuckles~

"You only know how to eat."

Yue Xuexia walked towards Taiyang and observed him closely. As expected, the man remained calm under her gaze, except for some annoyed emotion within his eyes, obviously from hunger.

"You came at the right time. Okay, you shall escort me, and you can eat as much as you want. For tonight, you will be my knight."

Yue Xuexia reached out a hand, asking to be escorted properly. The system held her hand like a proper escort.

"I shall become your knight for tonight, my queen." He kissed the back of her hand like it was natural.
