Chapter 1076: The Perfect Color
The room was indeed big. The quiet space was filled with faint incense and her feet stepped on the soft carpet and seemed to sink into it comfortably. Xia Ling moved aside a string of beads on the curtains and placed her luggage on the side before changing into a clean shirt. The season’s latest edition white shirt with dark patterns looked even more exquisite on her body. Her jade-like fair neck and slim waistline were breathtaking under the blurred crystal light.
The door was pushed open silently.
Xia Yu looked jealously at her sister for a long time. She had become even more beautiful and had lost the youth of a little girl. Instead, it was replaced with a bloomed charm that had been sculpted over the years. It was a sort of magnificence that made countless people admire greatly.
How could it be like this?!
A hundred ants seemed to bite Xia Yu’s heart, causing her to be in so much pain with every breath she took. Ever since infancy, because she was tormented by her illness, her face had always been swollen and ugly. Every time the people around complimented her Sister for being beautiful, they would look at her pitifully. She wanted desperately to cover her ears, dig out their eyes and tear off her Sister’s face! She had been working so hard to cope with the treatment and had finally ben cured. The edema on her face had finally subsided and her appearance had bloomed. However, compared to her Sister, she was still like mud beside a cloud!
She... could not accept it!
Looking at the figure under the crystal lamp, Xia Yu’s eyes got more and more gloomy.
Xia Ling hummed a song lightly and went to the dressing table to pick up a comb to comb her long hair. Suddenly, she saw someone standing behind her in the reflection of the mirror. “Oh!” She was shocked and turned around.
“Xiao Yu, you scared me to death!” She saw the person behind her and couldn’t help but exclaim.
In just a short moment, Xia Yu had already wiped away the vicious look on her face and had replaced it with an apologetic smile. “Sorry, Sister. I forgot to knock on the door and I didn’t expect to scare you. Did your trip from home go smoothly?”
She said while walking naturally towards Xia Ling.
Xia Ling relaxed and laughed. “It went smoothly. Brother Pei heard I was coming and specially asked the butler to send me off. He’s just like that, he wants to control everything. I originally told him I was already so big, I could just sit on the plane and fly by myself, but he simply refused to listen. He even said he wouldn’t allow me to come if I didn’t listen to him, so annoying.”
Although she was complaining, her eyes revealed a hint of sweetness that couldn’t be hidden.
Xia Yu took it to heart and the ants in her heart seemed to bite even harder. She whispered, “He always does this, he’s good to everyone. When I came, he also sent someone special to escort me. He even arranged a doctor and a dietitian for me.”
She intentionally pointed out that there were more people arranged for her than her Sister. She wanted to make her Sister jealous, but unexpectedly, Xia Ling didn’t even catch the meaning behind her words. She smiled simple-mindedly. “Right? I’m relieved that he takes such good care of you, Xiao Yu. You just had an operation and your body is most important, so remember to rest well, okay?”
Xia Yu slightly drooped her eyes and said, “Okay.”
The two sisters talked in the room for most of the day. At seven or eight o’clock, Chu Chen came to knock on the door. “Xiao Ling, Xiao Yu, Boss is here in the lobby. He asked the two of you to change clothes and go out to eat together.”
“Okay, coming!” Xia Ling was happy that there was food and dragged Xia Yu downstairs.
In the lobby, Pei Ziheng was waiting for them on the sofa in the rest area. He was calling someone while waiting and bits of his conversation could be heard. “Activation time limit... no... arrange another meeting...”
Xia Ling shouted happily, “Brother Pei!”
Pei Ziheng hung up the phone and looked up at her. His frown stretched out and he revealed a very gentle expression. “Xiao Ling, you’re here. Was the journey good?”
“Yes.” She went over to sit next to him naturally. “It would have been better if you hadn’t sent someone to manage me.”
Pei Ziheng smiled lightly. “The butler said you finished a whole jar of sugar. Your teeth will rot if you do this.”
“I knew he would tell on me.” Xia Ling wrinkled her little nose in dissatisfaction. Even though it was such an action, she still looked so cute doing it.
“Brother Ziheng.” Xia Yu interrupted and called weakly and softly. All these years, unconsciously, she no longer followed her sister to call him “Brother Pei”, but had changed to a more intimate “Brother Ziheng”. However, Xia Ling did not notice such a subtle change.
Pei Ziheng looked up at her. “How’s your body today?”
“It’s fine,, Thank you, Brother Ziheng, for your concern,” Xia Yu said shyly.
Pei Ziheng nodded. His concern for Xia Yu was more like a routine business sort of thing. After receiving the expected reply, he turned to Xia Ling again. “Let’s go and eat, what do you want to eat for dinner?”
Xia Ling said, “Anything is fine. Xiao Yu, what do you want to eat?”
Xia Yu still said softly and weakly, “I want to eat truffles and foie gras.” She knew there was a French restaurant nearby with a good atmosphere. It was very suitable for tasting wine and delicious good while laughing and chatting. She had planned to go with Pei Ziheng before her Sister came. However, the appearance of her Sister obstructed her.
“Then, let’s go eat truffles and foie gras,” Xia Ling said with a smile.
“Let’s change.” This time, Pei Ziheng said.
“What?” Xia Ling looked at him in confusion. “Why?”
Xia Yu was also puzzled.
Pei Ziheng lowered his head and looked at Xia Ling affectionately. “Did you forget how you said foie gras was the most unpalatable food in the whole world the last time you ate it?”
Xia Ling did remember she hadn’t liked the taste of foie gras, but she said, “Xia Yu wants to eat it.”
“Let’s eat Chinese food.” Pei Ziheng made a decision. “You just got off the plane, let’s eat Chinese food since you’re not acclimatized.”
“I...” Xia Ling blinked. “But Xiao Yu...”
Pei Ziheng looked at Xia Yu.
Xia Yu felt uncomfortable and smiled forcefully on the surface. “It’s okay with me, I’ve never eaten Chinese food in France before, it’ll be good to try it. Sister, let’s go eat Chinese food.”
Xia Ling was no longer entangled. The group of three went to a nearby Chinese restaurant.
The business of the Chinese restaurant was very good. When they walked in, there were many guests already sitting there. Many of them were Chinese and they were all laughing. The atmosphere was extremely lively. “Look, that little girl is so beautiful.” In the diner, someone noticed Pei Ziheng and his companions and said to his friend beside him.
“Yes, she’s quite pretty, but you don’t have to be this excited,” another diner said.
“Tsk, who asked you to look at the short one? Look at the tall one, the one facing us with her back, quick! She just turned her head! Isn’t she very beautiful? She’s probably not an adult yet, but she’ll definitely be a stunning beauty in the future!”
“You’re right... a stunning beauty...”
