My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 427: 427, Golden Boy and Jade Maiden

Then a reporter asked, “May I ask if tonight Mr. Chu didn’t bring a female companion?”

Chu Xiuhuang continued to smile, “Secretary Shi is my companion.”

The microphone was then directed towards Shi Huan, “As a subordinate, Secretary Shi, can you comment on Mr. Chu’s attire this evening?”

Shi Huan also smiled, “Handsome. Very handsome. Extremely handsome.”

“Alright, can the two of you pose together for a picture?”

The two stood before the red backdrop, and for a moment, flashes of light flickered incessantly.

**

In the banquet hall, Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen were already sitting at the VIP seats.

They didn’t walk the red carpet, coming in directly from the backdoor to save the trouble of being interviewed.

When they saw Chu Xiuhuang entering with Shi Huan, Su Wenwen quickly stood, “Secretary Shi.”

Shi Huan was about to come over, but Chu Xiuhuang said something to her. She walked away with the bag she was carrying.

Chu Xiuhuang then came over.

He was tall and had long legs, devilishly handsome, his crooked smile and charming demeanor adding to his allure. Wherever he went, he was like a magnet, attracting whispers from the female guests.

The ladies’ restroom.

Shi Huan stood inside a partition, opened the box, and found more than just the dress inside…matching underwear.

Seeing the size, she was somewhat shocked.

After putting it on, she found it fit perfectly, both the underwear and the dress were the right size, even better fitting than some clothes she ordered online.

Shi Huan felt something was strange.

How did Mr. Chu know her size?

And how could he know it so precisely?

But the time was running out, she quickly pushed open the door of the partition, stood in front of the mirror, and looked at herself.

The nude colored sleeveless long dress with a thin layer of ruffled lace at the dress hem was conservative in style. Even though she didn’t have any particular styling, she was elevated into an aura of gentle and graceful beauty by this luxurious dress.

Shi Huan removed her glasses.

Looking at the familiar face in the mirror, her expression froze for a moment.

A few seconds later, she put on her glasses immediately, tidy up her hair, took a deep breath, and opened the restroom door.

Unexpectedly, she ran into a familiar woman standing outside.

“Shi Huan?” Chu Jingyi was dressed in a burgundy low-cut, off-the-shoulder dress with her curly hair piled up into an exquisite bun. Her makeup was elegant and mature.

When she saw the dress Shi Huan was wearing, her face tightened.

It was a dress from the TURRY brand.

As a famous socialite of Nancheng, she obviously knew this famous French designer. The dresses designed by him could easily cost millions and were globally limited in quantity.

Shi Huan could afford their dress?

“Miss Chu.” Shi Huan nodded slightly, attempted to leave, but was held back by her.

“Where did you get this dress from?” Chu Jingyi asked.

Shi Huan gently curved the corner of her lips, “This dress is from TURRY, if Miss Chu likes it, you might want to visit their store more in the future.”

After saying that, she freed her hand from her and walked away.

Chu Jingyi stood there, her slender and charming phoenix eyes squinting pensively.

A few seconds later, she turned and moved in another direction.

Shi Huan returned to the banquet hall and saw the host of the party approaching from the opposite direction.

Elder Mo was wearing a red Tang suit and sitting in a wheelchair with a red glow on his face and a warm smile, looked in a good mood.

Mo Yaoxiong wore a dark grey three-piece suit which echoed with his meticulous hairstyle, pushing the wheelchair.

The ones following next to the wheelchair, of course, were Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi, the beaming stars of the night.

Without a doubt, this golden couple has drawn everyone’s attention.

Xiao Yebai was wearing an exquisitely refined black tuxedo, his hair neatly parted showing off his handsome features. Wearing thin-rimmed glasses, he looked scholarly and aloof, with an air of refinement.

In contrast, Mo Weiyi appeared to be the warmer one. Her bright red off- shoulder mini dress was coquettish yet appropriate, revealing just a hint of her collarbone. The dress showcased her slender and curvy figure, highlighting her youthful aura. Each frown and smile displayed the unique spirit and charm of her era.

Shi Huan took her eyes off them, scanned around the hall, only to find Chu Xiuhuang missing.

The party was scheduled to start at eight o’clock, it was not yet seven. After thinking for a moment, she walked towards the dining area at the back.

Su Wanwan was sitting there, eating. Seeing Shi Huan, she excitedly greeted her, “Secretary Shi.”

Shi Huan came over and put a bag down, “Mrs. Huo.”

“Wow, your dress is so beautiful.” Su Wanwan complimented, and immediately said, “Don’t call me Mrs. Huo anymore, it’s too distant, just call me Wanwan, after all, Ziyang and Luoluo are so close.”

Maybe in the future they could become in-laws!

Of course, Su Wanwan didn’t utter these words.

Already trying to steal someone’s sister at the age of five, she feared Shi Huan would be scared off.

Once Shi Huan sat down, she said, “Eat something first. Your Chu is out smoking with my husband.”

“Oh.”

So that’s how it is.

Shi Huan got up to get some food.

With Chu gone, she was at ease. There was still the performance to watch until ten o’clock, so she might as well fill up her stomach first.

Having taken a full plate of food, Shi Huan was about to return when a blue figure suddenly flashed by.

Immediately after…

“Oh no!”

A woman’s scream, accompanied by the shattering sound of the wine glass hitting the ground and breaking.

The guests in the dining area, including the waiters, immediately turned to look.

Shi Huan had tried to dodge when she sensed something was amiss, but she couldn’t avoid the misfortune.

She felt a chill and immediately put her plate aside, looking down at herself.

“I’m so sorry, miss, it’s all my fault, what to do, I spilled all the wine on your dress, let me wipe it off for you?” The woman’s panicked scream followed by calls for help, “Waiter, waiter, bring some napkins quickly!”

Shi Huan frowned.

The fabric of this dress was chiffon, almost instantly completely soaked with the spilled red wine. The wet fabric clung to her chest, clearly showing the matching underwear beneath.

Shi Huan was somewhat relieved that she had changed her underwear earlier, or her black underwear would’ve been clearly visible, which would’ve been tremendously embarrassing.

A waiter soon arrived with napkins.

Just as the woman wanted to help clean up…

“That won’t be necessary.” Shi Huan calmly stopped her.

“I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean to do it.” The woman frowned, a clear look of disdain in her eyes, “Why don’t you go change your dress? Everyone here should have brought more than one dress, right?”

Shi Huan looked at her. Despite the mess on her, her expression was calm and emotionless, her voice likewise, “Miss Luo, you’ve dirtied my dress. I’m afraid an apology won’t do.”

Luo Yiyi was stunned.

She had noticed Shi Huan when Shi Huan walked the red carpet with Chu Xiuhuang, and just now, she had been chatting with Chu Jingyi. Motivated by a fit of jealousy, she had run over to embarrass Shi Huan, but she hadn’t expected… that Shi Huan knew her?

Shi Huan continued, “This dress was lent to me by Chu Xiuhuang. The wine stain might not come off. The dress is worth 1.2 million yuan. Since you just admitted to accidentally spilling wine on me, considering that Miss Luo might be short on cash, I will send the bill to Mr. Luo’s email.”

Before Luo Yiyi could react, Shi Huan had already turned and left.

**

As she left the banquet hall, a phrase strangely crossed Shi Huan’s mind.

What does not belong to you will never be yours.

She was like Cinderella who had secretly worn the glass slippers, but the hour had not yet struck and she was already reverting to her true form.

Standing in the hallway, Shi Huan was debating whether to go to the restroom to wipe down her dress and keep wearing it, or to change back into her black suit.

Suddenly, she heard Su Wanwan’s voice from behind her, “Secretary Shi?”

Shi Huan turned around.

Su Wanwan walked over, accompanied by Mo Weiyi.

Shi Huan’s gaze, for some inexplicable reason, fell on Mo Weiyi.

Although she didn’t know why.

Mo Weiyi walked over gracefully, her long curled hair hanging smoothly on her shoulders, her tiny face beautiful and clear, and her smile clean and sweet.

When she and Su Wanwan walked together, they were like the embodiment of beauty, making one feel inferior.

“Secretary Shi, your dress is dirty. Let Weiyi take you to change into a new one.” Su Wanwan said.

“There’s no need.” Shi Huan’s tone was polite, but it held an obvious sense of distance, “I’ll just wipe it off in the restroom.”

“That won’t do.” The one speakingwas Mo Weiyi, her voice softer than Su Wanwan’s, with a girlish charm, as if she was acting coquettishly.

She said, “With the weather so cold, one can easily catch a cold.”

“That won’t happen.” Shi Huan replied lightly.
