49: Candlelight Dinner

Xiao Si was speechless, pointing to the floor-length mirror nearby. Even though she felt a bit shy, her thoughts kept jumping around. "The Secretary-General is the 1, and the Host is the bottom 0... Ahahaha!"

Shang Wan Ning walked to the floor-length mirror, as if connecting the dots to something, her eyes widened, and then she slowly turned around.

Her back in the mirror was a mess, almost covered in hickeys, like scattered stars.

Boss Shang's shyness was about to pierce the sky, reaching an unprecedented height.

Her whole body was completely stiff, unable to move as if under a paralysis spell.

Her cheeks were like ripe apples, radiating an alluring blush, the temperature high enough to cook an egg.

"Is Ling Qi a dog by any chance?" "Biting and licking..."

The visual impact of the scene before her was simply too strong; even she, who considered herself thick-skinned, couldn't help but feel it was quite erotic, let alone what Xiao Si might be thinking.

Before Shang Wan Ning had time to calm her dramatic emotions, Xiao Si retreated into the System Space of her own accord.

After a long while, about fifteen minutes later, Shang Wan Ning slowly and reluctantly walked out of the bedroom.

"Host, how about choosing the suspender dress?" Xiao Si asked tentatively.

"Absolutely not!" Shang Wan Ning refused coldly without even thinking, "That would still show my back."

"How about trying to erase the marks with spiritual energy?" Xiao Si suggested, shaking the little bun on her head.

"I've already tried, it's useless!" Shang Wan Ning sighed helplessly, "Ling Qi... she kissed me for too long last night and marked me by injecting ghost power."

Xiao Si immediately drooped her head, looking like she had eaten her fill of dog food, and muttered: "Fine, fine! Then let's choose the first set; at least it's relatively the most conservative."

"Besides, the Su-style qipao perfectly interprets Eastern aesthetics!"

"Especially the high-slit design, which cleverly incorporates elements of sexiness and charm."

Xiao Si said this while showing an envious expression.

Shang Wan Ning poked her slim waist, "Is it really okay? I won't look like a pregnant woman, will I!"

"I've been eating too well lately, and my weight has increased by a full eight jin."

Shang Wan Ning's eyes flickered slightly, and she subconsciously reached out to touch her earlobes, which had turned slightly red.

"Don't worry, it's no big deal! Just straighten your waist and tighten your abdomen a bit~ Watch my 'Slim Waist Vanishing Technique'!" Xiao Si said with a relaxed laugh.

Shang Wan Ning let out a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help muttering: "Alright... I hope this really works." After saying that, she took a deep breath and straightened her back, which had been slightly hunched.

Then, she walked quickly to the floor-standing wooden coat rack and took down the exquisite Su-style qipao.

After quickly putting on the qipao, she hurriedly applied simple, light makeup.

Standing in front of the mirror, Shang Wan Ning gazed at herself, momentarily lost in a daze.

Recalling the ignorant, straight guy from half a year ago, who couldn't even distinguish between different lipstick shades.

Now, she could identify dozens of different shades in a second.

This change made her feel deeply emotional~

"Host, relax!" "Mm-hmm!"

"Come on, Shang Wan Ning!" "Tonight is the first date in two lifetimes, so I must perform well! GOGOGO!"

Shang Wan Ning raised an eyebrow and smiled at the mirror, secretly cheering herself on.

At the same time, she turned on her toes and, in the blink of an eye, arrived at the entrance of Jinzhuyuan.

"Hello, may I ask which floor is the private room reserved by Miss Ling on?"

Shang Wan Ning smiled and politely stopped a passing waiter to ask softly.

But the waiter seemed not to see her, turning the corner straight ahead without looking, and enthusiastically greeted the other guests following behind her.

"Huh? Nani!" "Oh! The divine body comes with its own spells!" Shang Wan Ning knocked on her head, suddenly remembering that she had used a concealment spell.

Thinking of this, she removed the spell and walked towards the front desk ahead.

After arriving at the front desk, Shang Wan Ning spoke again: "Hello! I would like to check the location of the private room reserved by Miss Ling."

At this moment, the front desk attendant raised her head upon hearing this, and her gaze happened to meet Shang Wan Ning's.

In an instant, the young lady at the front desk was stunned, an expression of disbelief on her face, and even her speech became stuttering.

"Ma... Madam! The... the private room you are looking for is on the third floor, room 520, called... called Yuqingfang."

"Okay, thank you." After saying that, Shang Wan Ning straightened her posture slightly and walked towards the third floor elegantly and calmly.

Watching Shang Wan Ning's receding back, the front desk attendant was still intoxicated by the stunning moment just now.

She couldn't help but reach out and pinch her wrist hard, wanting to confirm if she was dreaming.

Then, she stomped her feet and muttered softly: "Wow! She's basically a fairy descending to earth!"

"Wow, fangirl tears, her skin is super good~ smooth, tender, and elastic..." "Wuwuwu... I like her so much, so envious!"

The lobby manager nearby walked quickly toward the front desk reception.

"Hey, hey! The guest that the diamond member was waiting for has arrived!" "Manager, how did you know?"

"Hi! Beauties like to hang out with beauties, and handsome guys like to flock together."

"Oh, no wonder I still haven't found a partner." The front desk attendant suddenly realized.

The lobby manager winked ambiguously, "Look~ I'm single, you're single... isn't that just perfect~"

"No, no, no, Manager!" "I love money~ Being single makes me frugal."

Jinzhuyuan Third Floor, Yuqingfang

Ling Qi sat in her seat, shifting her gaze to the bonsai on the upper right—Rodi.

Not long after, accompanied by a slight sound, the door was pushed open.

Shang Wan Ning appeared before Ling Qi, wearing a dark red Su-style qipao, tailored properly with smooth lines.

The delicate silk fabric shimmered with a faint luster, like stars in the night sky.

Her hair was coiled up high, with a few strands falling onto her fair neck, adding a touch of charm.

Ling Qi looked her over with a measuring gaze, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, outlining an enigmatic smile.

"Please, dear Boss, could I trouble you to help your loyal subordinate lock the door?" Ling Qi's words carried a hint of teasing.

Shang Wan Ning's delicate body stiffened suddenly, and she looked over at Ling Qi, only to see her sitting upright on the wooden chair, tilting her head and giving her a wink!

"Okay!" Her heart softened, and she turned her head to lock the door. Walking close to Ling Qi's side, "Aren't we going to eat? How will the food be served if the door is locked?"

Ling Qi pulled the Boss onto her lap, wrapped her arms around her waist, leaned against her shoulder, and said softly: "How about I eat you instead!" "I'm hungry!"
