Chapter 367: Pingyi's Approachable Nature

"This was custom-made by hand by Mr. Ye, the top tailor in our Shenzhen. He only accepts one custom commission per month, and usually, you have to book more than half a year in advance for him to even consider taking it."

"Moreover, Mr. Ye vets his clients; he doesn't take every order."

"And this is the latest Bvlgari necklace prepared for you by Mr. Zheng—'Deep Blue Impression'."

Looking at the exquisite evening gown, Su Yuanshuang's brain briefly entered a state of system failure.

Although she usually carried herself with the air of a domineering businesswoman, admired wherever she went, deep down, she was still quite the small woman. Especially when seeing such a beautiful evening gown, she felt a flutter of romantic yearning.

A few good-looking female clerks had come along to deliver the clothing.

They all cast looks of great envy.

"Ms. Su, would you like us to help you put it on?"

"Oh... no, that's alright, I can do it myself. Please, take it inside."

Su Yuanshuang stepped aside.

Beep-beep— It was a call from Zheng Qian!

She quickly answered, feigning calm as she spoke, "Hello? What is it?"

Zheng Qian: ？？？？

Big sister, didn't you just send me a barrage of WeChat messages? I was just a bit sleepy, lay on the bed for a while, and then took a shower. Was it really necessary to call me to death? And you even said you were hungry!

Oh... Zheng Qian quickly understood. He glanced at the time—hmm, the clothes must have arrived.

"My dear Ms. Su, hurry up and put on the dress."

"？？？You want me to wear this now? What for?"

"Didn't you say you were hungry? I'm taking you out for something delicious."

Su Yuanshuang couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She gritted her teeth and said, "What exactly are you trying to do? After arriving in Shenzhen, you haven't explained anything, you didn't reply to my WeChat earlier, and I was starving and about to go eat something, but then you sent this dress, and that necklace... what on earth..."

The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt; Su Yuanshuang's voice even carried a hint of a sob.

"Hmm... that was my oversight. This is actually a surprise for you."

Zheng Qian shook his head and said with a smile, "There's no time to explain. I'll give you the details after you've changed. Simply put, we're going to attend a charity gala, and according to reliable sources, Pei Moyan will be in attendance."

"If you went in ordinary clothes, it certainly wouldn't be appropriate, so I arranged this dress for you in advance."

"It starts promptly at eight in the evening. Just send me a WeChat when you're ready."

Only then did Su Yuanshuang understand what was going on.

This dress... it shouldn't be rented by Zheng Qian, right?

Probably not, hmm... since it's haute couture, it must have been custom-made to her measurements, right? Sure enough, it fit perfectly, and even the measurements for her bust, waist, and hips were incredibly precise.

How did he know that？？？

Looking at herself in the mirror, Su Yuanshuang's pretty face flushed red, and her heart couldn't help but race with wild thoughts.

By all accounts, she had attended quite a few high-profile cocktail parties and the like, and she had plenty of evening gowns at home. But this one was exceptionally luxurious and definitely worth a fortune. Moreover, she had heard of that Mr. Ye.

He was one of the top tailors in the Nine Provinces; even many celebrities sought him out for custom clothing, and some couldn't even get an appointment.

This Zheng Qian, he actually had this kind of power?

And this necklace... Deep Blue Impression!

Girls were generally very sensitive to these things, let alone an international top-tier brand like Bvlgari.

This was the latest necklace, and crucially, it was a limited edition. The market price was three million, but you usually couldn't buy it at that price; it required paying a much higher cost, similar to the allocation system of Hermès.

Su Yuanshuang never dreamed that she, a young lady from a wealthy family, would one day feel her heart flutter due to a financial offensive.

These... were they gifts from Zheng Qian? Could he... possibly like me?

Forget it, a girl couldn't possibly be the first to bring up such things. Besides, she and Zheng Qian had only met twice, all things considered. There was still a lot about each other they didn't know, and she absolutely couldn't be the first to fall for him.

Besides, he was definitely a scumbag. Last time in Subei City, didn't he have a woman by his side whose looks were not inferior to her own?

Thinking of this, Su Yuanshuang's mood finally calmed down a lot.

A dozen minutes later, the two of them appeared in the banquet hall on the top floor of the hotel.

Looking at Zheng Qian in his crisp suit, Su Yuanshuang admitted that her heart was beating a little fast. It wasn't that she had fallen in love with Zheng Qian, but rather the sense of contrast he brought was just too strong.

In previous encounters, he had always dressed very casually and leisurely, just like an ordinary boy. But she didn't know if it was because clothes make the man or what. Wearing such a well-tailored suit, Zheng Qian's figure appeared very tall and straight. One could vaguely see the lines and curves; he was very rugged. Paired with that cynical smile, it even made Su Yuanshuang feel unable to hold her own.

Hmm, he must be "approachable because he's a billionaire," absolutely not because he is handsome. Yes, that must be it!

She finally understood Zheng Qian's intentions. This was a charity auction, and the funds raised would all be donated to charitable organizations free of charge. Many of the auction items this time were provided by the attendees, such as oil paintings, jewelry, and even cars.

Before the auction officially began, everyone was holding wine glasses in groups of two or three, wandering around the dining tables and chatting. Many of Shenzhen's social elites were present; it was a good opportunity to expand one's network.

But... there were two exceptions. One was Zheng Qian, and the other was Su Yuanshuang.

She was truly starving. She hadn't wanted to eat the airplane food, waiting until after landing and finishing business to find a good place to eat. But Zheng Qian had gone and played hide-and-seek with her. Now that she finally saw food, she had no way to feast to her heart's content.

Knowing that Pei Moyan would also be coming today, and thinking they might run into each other, she deliberately put on airs to maintain her good image, purposely avoiding looking at the pastries and such, while swallowing her saliva on her own.

The most detestable one was Zheng Qian! She glared resentfully at Zheng Qian not far away, who was feasting away without a care for his image, and stomped her feet in anger. He was eating so deliciously that he had even made her hungry just watching him...

"Hello, Miss, my name is Feng Yuanhong. My family is in the foreign trade business. Might I have the honor of getting to know you?"

Just then, a very handsome young man walked over. He had noticed Su Yuanshuang for a long time. At first glance, he felt she was stunning. Even with so many beautiful women present, Su Yuanshuang still attracted many people's gazes.

However, hindered by the necklace around her neck, everyone felt an aura of nobility, making her seem out of reach. So they were certain that she was definitely not a kept woman, because no boss would be willing to spend that much money; she must be a girl from a wealthy family. This also made many people hold back. Feng Yuanhong had also gathered his courage for a long time before finally coming up to her. Especially when Su Yuanshuang looked over... Oh no, this was the feeling of falling in love. In that instant... he thought he had fallen in love, and had even decided where the two of them would be buried together in the future.
