Chapter 102: Chapter 102 – All dolled up

Feng Mei got dressed in that same white dressed she picked out but...Lana added a corset with it.

She sceptically glanced at it. “I don’t have a developed chest. I won’t be a problem,”

“No, young lady, you have to wear it. This will give you the hourglass shape that every young lady’s aspire for,” she held it to her face.

Feng Mei smiled awkwardly. ‘Yeah and it will also cause indentation in the lungs..... I don’t want any health complications,’

“You have to wear it, miss. All reputable women wear it,” the maid gently strapped it on her and started to pull the drawstring tight.

Feng Mei flinched.

Only then did she realize the difference this world had. Back in the ship she wore whatever she wanted and lad Hiliana did not bother, but now that they are in the mainland she had to dress according to the society.

.....

Or else lady Hiliana will be scrutinized for her child rearing.

Feng clenched the corset. “Fine... but please don’t tighten it even more. My waist might snap.”

Lana cheerfully put it on her.

Surprisingly, it was not that tight or constricted.

Feng wore the white dress over it.

“It needs a ribbon,” Lana mumbled, gently caressing the stitch lines right below her bust. “What colour do you prefer, young lady?”

“Just get me anything..” Feng shrugged. Her initial plan was to war the dress as is. ‘But I guess ribbons are a trend too... gosh... this is going to be hard.’

According to all the Victorian record she had read, they change so many fashions and styles. Every time a new style came out, the previous ones go out of fashion.

Wearing an out of season clothes is considered cheap.

‘Ugh. Why did that Ling guy base this game on Victorian era? Now I have to suffer the consequences,’ she thought, clutching the bust of her dress.

Lana came back with a few ribbons. Some were delicate lace ones... some had jewels imbedded in them.

“These are lady Perlin’s old ones. There are the ones we have, young lady. I’m so sorry,”

“No it’s okay. Chose whichever.” She shrugged.

The young girl chose an indigo jewel incrusted ribbon. She even found a matching earning for this. Her neck was left bare, exposing the beauty frilled neckline,

“it looks perfect,” Lana mumbled, fussing with her dress.

Feng Mei nodded. ‘Yes, so perfect that I look like a mannequin.’

“I’ll get going then.”

“Miss! you have yet to do your hair!!” Lana stopped her by the door.

“There is more?!”

The young maid laughingly pulled her to the bed. She sat her down and started to brush it. “Your hair is beautiful, miss. Can we add some flowers?”

“Anything you want.” Feng held her head. ‘This is to trouble some... can I just cut my hair?’

The young maid fussed over it for a while. “It’s done!”

Feng Mei did not look at it at all. “Thank you so much. I’ll be back.’ She ran out the door in fear the maid might do her makeup as well.

She ran to the twin’s room and knocked loudly.

Ethan opened the door with a dull look, but as so as he saw her his eyes brightened up. “F-Feng..” his mouth went wide, and he just blinked at her.

“Close your mouth. A spider might crawl in,” she closed his mouth. “Where is your brother? We need to talk,”

She barged in.

Ethan stood had his mouth open and blinking.

“Hello?” she snapped her fingers in front of his face.

He snapped out of it finally. “Umm... hi...”

“Hi, you are being very weird..Where is your brother?”

“Why are you searching for Aiden?” he pouted, gazing her way. His crystal green eyes shone slightly like a small star every time their gaze met.

“I have something to talk to you both, so where is he?”

Ethan did not reply, rather he looked even more glum. “You can talk to me... I am enough. Do you have to see him looking like that?,”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Feng ignored his comment and decided to explore their room. Just like hers, the room was covered in luxurious things. From the silk sheets to the beautiful handmade tapestry hanging by the window, everything screamed sophistication. “Is he in the bathroom?”

Getting no answer from Ethan, she decided to check it on her own.

Hitching up her skirt and ran to the bathroom and threw it open. “Aiden, we have to talk,”

Little Aiden, who was in the middle of getting dressed, looked at her eyes wide open. “F-Feng...” he froze instantly.

The shirt in his hands slipped out onto the ground.

“Why are you both acting so weirdly today?” She walked close and picked up his shirt from the floor. “See It got wrinkled..”

Even now, Aiden was looking at her with that weird look on his face.

“What is it? Do I have something on my face?”

“Yes....” Aiden pulled her over to the vanity. “You have beauty,” he whispered softly into ear.

Fen rolled her eyes. But as she looked at her reflection, she gasped. Her thin, mousy hair was rolled up in a small bun on the top of her head, leaving behind small delicate hair bits floating in front of her face. A small purple peony was placed in her bun. It actually went so well with her boring brown hair.

She touched her face in awe. ‘When did Lana do my makeup!!’

Provided, she was half asleep when the young maid was doing her hair. She did not even notice her applying makeup on.

It was really subtle blush and her eyebrows were trimmed to size. Her doe-like eyes looked larger and much more innocent with her brows shaped like this.

Feng Mei just touched her face. ‘Is this the same malnourished face I am used to? Oh my god Lana is amazing at what she does,’

Suddenly, she noticed the look of awe in Aiden’s blue eyes through the reflection.

She tossed the shirt to him. “Get dressed and come out,” just by the door she poked her head in. “don’t say weird things like that again.”

Ethan held her hand instantly. “He was telling the truth though... you look very pretty,”

“Thanks Ethan,” she gently caressed his head with a light blush on her face.

Ethan just let her touch his head like a docile pet. {‘Aiden I think I might go against our promise. I am going to woo her to me, mine,’}

{‘no! She is going to be my wife!!’}

{‘No mine!!’} Ethan grumbled softly under his breath.

{‘We’ll see who she chooses when she dances at the welcome dinner tonight?’}

{‘Deal!’} Ethan held Feng’s hand softly. {‘I am definitely going to win though,’}
