32 Evening Gown

'With a smile

Gu Yechen said

"Do I need a reason to support my future wife in her career?"'

'In a blink of an eye

he was gone.'

'He Xinyan froze in the middle of the room as she stared at the empty balcony. After a while

she walked over and closed the door.'

''Future wife?' He Xinyan raised one eyebrow. What did he mean? Was he planning on marrying her? But this relationship was fake. . .'

'This thought bothered He Xinyan the entire day and she decided to ask Gu Yechen about it when he came and picked her up that evening for the party.'

'At 4:30

He Xinyan began preparing for the party. She knew that the people going to the party tonight would all be prominent and powerful people in the country

and as Gu Yechen's partner

she had to present herself well.'

'She looked at her empty closet and sighed. Because she was young

she rarely went to parties and gatherings with her father

so she didn't have many evening gowns.'

'The only one she had from a long time ago was a little too small for her now

and it stopped at her ankles.'

''Uh oh. . .' He Xinyan thought. There wasn't enough time to order a customized gown now

and if she wore a ready-made dress

it would definitely lose face for Gu Yechen.'

'Even for the parties Bai Jiawei went to

He Xinyan knew that the females there all wore specially customized gowns. But this party was at a whole different level. . . A party that Gu Yechen would personally go to. He Xinyan could only imagine how exclusive this evening party was.'

'He Xinyan slumped into the chair and sighed. She had no upper class friends

and she didn't want to go borrow a dress from Li Yuyan. Plus

Li Yuyan probably wouldn't agree anyway.'

'Just as He Xinyan was about to call Gu Yechen

there was a knock at the door. The balcony door.'

'He Xinyan turned to look at who it was and saw the man at the audition

secretary Jin.'

'She hurriedly opened the door and looked at Jin Yu

"Hello

secretary Jin. What are you doing here?"'

'Secretary Jin still maintained his cold expression as he held up a black box

"Mr. Gu told me to give this to you."'

'He Xinyan grabbed the box and realized that it was pretty heavy

"How did you get up here?"'

'Without replying

Jin Yu walked over to the railing and flipped his legs over. Almost like a lizard

he climbed down the building and onto the ground.'

'He Xinyan watched with her eyes wide open. Did everyone in the Gu Corporation need to have the talent of climbing walls?'

'He Xinyan took one more look at the box and didn't see any words written on it. She walked back into her room and placed the box onto the table.'

'The lid of the box was magnetic

and after opening it

she saw a word on the bottom of the lid.'

'The word 'Hepix' was embroidered in gold and it was fancy but also elegant. He Xinyan immediately recognized the word to be the brand name and her mouth fell open in shock.'

'Hepix was the most expensive luxury brand all over the world and it originated in Country W. The brand only produced three hundred pieces of clothing and a hundred pieces of jewelry each year

and it was extremely hard to order something from this brand.'

'Most of the clothing and jewelry went to the royal family in Country W

which only made it even harder for people to get their hands on this luxury brand.'

'Plus

even if you were lucky enough to obtain an ordering spot

it was unlikely you were rich enough. Every single item from Hepix was worth millions of dollars

and even if you were to buy a hat

it would be around a million dollars.'

'Although the products were truly very beautiful

few people had the money or power to buy it. So why did Gu Yechen have it?'

'He Xinyan lifted the dress inside the box up carefully and saw that it was light blue in color. It was an off-shoulder gown with a very simple design. The entire dress was made of silk satin and it pulled in at the waist.'

'There were no excessive pieces of silk or decoration

and it looked kind of plain to He Xinyan. How much was this piece of plain fabric worth?'

'He Xinyan leaned forward and examined the fabric

and noticed something sparkling. She set the dress onto the bed and looked closely at the bottom section of the dress.'

'Sprinkled across the fabric

were tiny blue and white diamonds glued onto the dress. Inside the room

it was hard to tell

but He Xinyan could guess that in the dark or under the sunlight

the diamonds would probably sparkle.'

'Each diamond was placed meticulously and although it seemed like the designer just sprinkled the diamonds over the dress randomly

when looking carefully

He Xinyan could tell that there was also a design in placing the diamonds.'

'He Xinyan walked back over to the large box and picked up the pair of shoes that also came with the box. The shoes were light blue

and they were probably around 10 cm in length. The shoes also looked quite plain

but He Xinyan noticed the same diamond design on the shoes.'

'Inside the black box

there was also a white card with the signature of the designer on it and a paragraph written by the designer about her thought process on this piece of clothing.'

'The main and only designer of Hepix was Claudette Caro

and she has won several awards with her unique and beautiful designs.'

''My design concept for this gown is the beautiful ocean. When people think of the ocean

they usually describe it with the color blue. However

the ocean isn't only blue. At day

the ocean sparkles. At night

the ocean sparkles. The world underneath the waves is always shining and alive. The oceans hold so much power

yet the world doesn't appreciate it's beauty enough. May you be just as clean and powerful as the ocean with this dress

and I hope that this dress can bring you many amazing wonders'.'

'As a normal girl

He Xinyan's heart was beating excitedly as she read what Claudette Caro wrote for this dress.'

'Almost every single woman in the world would like beautiful clothing

and He Xinyan was no exception. She immediately put the dress on and realized that the gown looked even more beautiful on her body.'

'From this dress

He Xinyan understood the idea that a good piece of clothing can really change a person. This dress was designed so perfectly that it accentuated her beautiful features and figure

but also did a good job in hiding the tiny flaws of her body.'

'He Xinyan then quickly did her makeup and her hair before grabbing a bag and slowly walking out of her bedroom. She walked cautiously the whole way down the stairs

afraid of getting the dress or shoes dirty.'

'When she arrived downstairs

she saw Bai Jiawei and Li Huiran sitting on the couch.'

'"Where are you going dressed so beautifully?" Bai Jiawei asked as his eyes brightened a little at the sight of his beautiful daughter.'

'"I have to attend an evening party with my friend."'

'"Oh

who is it?" Li Huiran also looked up and asked. She didn't recognize that the brand of the dress was Hepix

as there was no logo on the dress. Also

only a few people have actually seen a Hepix product

and they were usually the very top of the upper class.'

'The news about her and Gu Yechen had died down a long time ago

because after a few hours of posting

Gu Yechen had removed his post about him dating He Xinyan

and he also ordered Chen Xiao to remove all the news articles about him and He Xinyan.'

'Therefore

most people have forgotten about that news already

and Bai Jiawei seemed to have also forgotten that his daughter was dating Gu Yechen.'

'"Just someone from school

" He Xinyan lied. "I'm going to go now. Bye."'

'He Xinyan walked out of the house and down the front steps. She lifted her dress up with both hands and kept an eye out the entire time

making sure the dress didn't touch the ground.'

'When she reached the sidewalk

she saw that Gu Yechen had already arrived.'
