Chapter 169 The Shining Disco Ball
Chapter 169 The Shining Disco Ball
Ye Xinghe's lips pressed into a straight line, her arms crossed over her chest. If anyone else had said those words, she would have already turned and left!
You let me choose, and I chose, but you wouldn't listen! I don't have that much time to waste on you.
Ye Xinghe cursed inwardly, but said aloud, "How could that be! You're not dark-skinned. Besides, red suits your skin tone very well."
"Really?" Ye Shuang pouted and frowned as she looked at herself in the mirror. "I always feel like I look like a newlywed wife when I dress like this."
“Then wear the white one. It’s clean and elegant, like a well-behaved little princess.” Ye Xinghe picked up the white dress and handed it to Ye Shuang, thinking to herself, “Ye Shuang, you’d better tone it down! Once or twice is fine, but not a third or fourth time! If you refuse again this time, I won’t care about you anymore.”
"I look quite good in white." Ye Shuang's expression was still somewhat dissatisfied. "But isn't it too simple, not eye-catching enough?"
Ye Xinghe gave her a very formal smile and looked at her without saying a word.
Ye Shuang felt a little uneasy under her gaze, her eyes darting away, not daring to meet her eyes directly. "Sister, how about I wear the black outfit?"
Ye Xinghe maintained her smile, nodded, and thought to herself, "Wear whatever you like. Don't ask me."
Ye Xinghe wore a very low-key little black dress today. The style was very simple: wide shoulder straps, a fitted waist, and an A-line skirt. She didn't wear any jewelry, only casually wearing the amulet given to her by Hua Qingmeng on her wrist.
She didn't understand why Ye Shuang also chose black. But she didn't care; matching outfits wasn't scary, it was embarrassing for whoever looked worse.
Although Ye Shuang is quite pretty, she absolutely cannot stand next to someone like Ye Xinghe, who is bright-looking and has fair skin. In comparison, she would definitely pale in comparison.
Ye Shuang hadn't decided which outfit to wear, but when she saw Ye Xinghe wearing black, she decided to wear black too.
After changing into her dress, she started choosing jewelry. Since she had already chosen a similar style of clothing to Ye Xinghe, she needed to outshine her with accessories to make the difference between them stand out.
"Sister, which necklace do you think I should wear?" Ye Shuang opened the drawer in the middle of the dressing room, revealing all kinds of jewelry, neatly arranged.
If Ye Xinghe were to style it herself, she would definitely choose to wear pearls with her little black dress. It would be gentle and elegant, enhancing her overall look. However, given Ye Shuang's personality, she would definitely choose diamonds.
Ye Xinghe picked up an extremely extravagant diamond necklace, with diamond tassels cascading down to her chest like a waterfall. "This one will do."
Ye Shuang's face stiffened. She hadn't expected Ye Xinghe to choose this one. She had originally planned to wear this one as well. She said with a hint of reluctance, "Isn't this one too exaggerated and too flashy?"
"Not at all! You're the star of the show today, so you should dress up. Besides, you look absolutely gorgeous in this necklace." Ye Xinghe's tone was exaggerated, like a product salesperson.
Her face was starting to stiffen from smiling, and she thought to herself, "Alright, stop acting. It's obvious on your face that I want to wear this!"
She helped Ye Shuang put on the necklace and then went to choose other accessories.
If it were Ye Xinghe, wearing such an extravagant necklace, she wouldn't wear any other jewelry, or she would pair it with a pair of more understated single-diamond stud earrings.
As a result, Ye Shuang paired it with equally extravagant diamond tassel earrings and a wide diamond bracelet.
She was dazzling, especially under the warm lights in the dressing room, like a shining ball of light, so bright that Ye Xinghe had to squint to look at her.
Ye Shuang stood in front of the mirror. "Sis, is this outfit okay for me tonight?"
Ye Xinghe's smile deepened, and she said three words against her will, "Very beautiful."
Ye Shuang looked at herself in the mirror and was quite satisfied. This dazzling outfit, when the lights were dimmed at night, would definitely outshine Ye Xinghe.
Ye Xinghe had long seen through her little scheme, so she couldn't be bothered to compete with her in beauty. Besides, this outfit looked just like the crystal chandelier in the living room.
If someone is receptive to advice, Ye Xinghe is willing to offer suggestions. But for those who are stubborn and unyielding, she simply adopts a "whatever makes you happy" attitude, agreeing with them briefly before moving on.
After helping Ye Shuang with her outfit, Ye Xinghe went downstairs and returned to the living room. At that moment, several staff members were setting up the outdoor birthday party venue.
Several classmates invited by Ye Shuang also arrived and came over to greet Ye Xinghe.
"Sister Xinghe, do you still remember me?" A girl with curly hair hugged Ye Xinghe tightly. "You're even more beautiful than when I first met you."
Ye Xinghe smiled gently; she remembered this "curly-haired girl" vividly. Because when they first met, she had been just as enthusiastic.
"Of course I remember. Guanguan, Da Ke, and Xiao Xue." Ye Xinghe named the three people in turn.
These three were Ye Shuang's roommates in college. Although she didn't live in the dorm for many days, they were still the three people she was closest to in college.
"How long have you been here? I was just upstairs with Xiaoshuang changing clothes. I called her and asked her to come down." Ye Xinghe was about to take the phone when her arm was grabbed again by the "curly-haired girl" named Guanguan.
“Sister Xinghe, no need to call her. We’ll just play with you first.” Guan Guan said, while rubbing Ye Xinghe’s arm. “What do you put on your body every day? It’s so smooth, and so white and fragrant.”
If Ye Xinghe hadn't known that Guanguan had a boyfriend of seven years, she would definitely have suspected that Guanguan had a problem with her sexual orientation.
Ye Xinghe let her pull her arm. "I've been using Ye's new products lately. Once it's finalized, I'll give each of you a set."
"Let me take you guys to get something to eat first. Xiao Shuang will be down in a bit."
Ye Xinghe led the three of them to the dessert table. At this moment, Ye Xingchen ran over and called to her, "I'm so busy, and you're just eating and slacking off?! Come and work with me."
"What?" Ye Xinghe had just picked up a macaron and hadn't even put it in her mouth yet, "What kind of work do I have to do myself?"
Ye Xinghe put her hands on her hips and said, "Puff up balloons or set up string lights, you choose one."
"I don't want to choose." Ye Xinghe pointed into the distance and said reluctantly, "Didn't we hire staff? Why do we have to do it ourselves?"
"We originally planned for ten workers, but four of them didn't show up." Ye Xingchen's tone was slightly impatient. "I've already called Qiao Lin to help out, so hurry up and make your selections. If we don't finish setting things up by then, Grandpa will be angry."
