Chapter 583: Does this annoying fellow like her?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

For some reason, she felt nervous.

Before, she would rather die than appear in front of the man in such a revealing dress, but now, wearing this evening gown that exposed her back and her chest, she especially wanted the man to see her and let him… notice her.

“What’s the matter?” Lily asked when he noted her flushed cheeks and slightly wavering gaze.

She returned to her senses at the stylist’s question and took one last look at herself in the mirror.

Looking at her unfamiliar reflection, she breathed deeply, lifted her dress train, and headed to the door.

It had to be said that she looked stunning in her get-up.

Under the stylist’s makeup skills, which could practically be called plastic surgery, the body that had some fats here and there looked petite right now.

Wearing this evening gown, which gave off the aura of a fairy and was as pretty as the clouds in the sky, she was simply breathtaking that no one could take their eyes off her.

A few of the weak-willed assistants at the back stared at her unblinkingly.

She did bother herself with their gazes, though. Instead, she quickly walked to the door with excitement in her heart.

As the man was waiting for her in the room next door, she made her way there straightaway.

Standing outside the door for a while, she took another deep breath and then reached out her hand to open it.

Click!

She opened the tightly shut door with a click .

Inside the room, the man was reading charts on his laptop for work. When he heard some noise come from the door, he set his work aside and lifted his face with a frown.

The moment he did so, he froze.

For an instant, his emotionless face betrayed a look of utter shock.

In his bottomless eyes, surprise fleeted across.

Pei Ge took a deep breath upon entering the room, and when the man did not speak anything even after a while, she opened her mouth to speak.

“I-I’m… ready. W-We can go now,” she stammered out softly, eyeing the man nervously.

Little did she know that her voice, as if breaking a magic spell, jolted the man back to his senses.

He stared at the ineffable beauty standing before him and somehow began to develop feelings of regret.

He started questioning his decision to bring her over to this salon…

Watching the man wordlessly stare at her, she grew even more nervous. She did not know why he was just staring at her.

Did this annoying fellow think that she looked nice in this get-up or not?!

Just as she was feeling puzzled, she heard the man speak.

“Change it.”

The man’s cold face was expressionless.

In his voice was a hint of unhappiness.

“Huh?” Her eyes widened at the man in confusion.

“Does it not… look good?” she asked. Pursing her lips ever so slightly, she peered at his stony face.

“…” He wanted to go against his conscience and say that it looked bad, but he could not spout this lie no matter how hard he tried.

Anyone with eyes could see that she was beautiful today.

“… No,” he replied flatly.

In fact, this stupid woman looked so good he became worried that others might take interest in her.

“Then… why are you asking me to change?” She looked at the man in confusion, unable to understand his reason for the request.

Honestly speaking, even she was stunned to see her look in the mirror after she had her makeup done.

For an instant, she seemed to have seen the more mature version of herself in middle school.

“Pei Ge, are you planning to seduce others by wearing such revealing clothes?” he asked, feeling frustrated. He simply had no answer to her question.

Alas, right after he had said that, he regretted it.

That was because… he saw the light in her eyes dim in an instant.

“I—” With a constricted heart, he tried to retract his statement, but she did not give him a chance to do so.

“Ji Ziming, who do you think I am planning to seduce?! Is it my idea to wear such revealing clothes? Since when did you see me wear such revealing clothes before?! If not for you, why would I be wearing this?”

She was livid. Her earlier anticipation and desire to show him her get-up was shattered in an instant by his crass remark of her wanting to seduce others.

“Ji Ziming, if you dislike seeing me dressed like this, then please don’t make me your date! After all the years you’ve spent in your so-called high society, don’t you know how revealing evening dresses are?!”

Thinking about it now, she could not help but feel wronged; what did she ever do to deserve this treatment?! She was not one to dress up like this!

What right did this annoying fellow talk about her like this?

“If you don’t like me – dislike me, please just let me off the hook! Let me go! D’you think I want to be around you? I want to be far from your sight more than anything—”

Before she could finish her statement, her wrist was grabbed tightly by him.

“Pei Ge, I’m telling you this: don’t even think about it!” With a grim face, he gripped her wrist tightly.

He grip was vice-like, for fear of her disappearing from his life.

That was what would likely happen if he let go.

Just the thought of her disappearing for good in his life made his heart ache dully.

A little stunned by his adamance, she stared at him wide-eyed.

Searching his face, which was as grim as the bottom of a pot, a thought popped in her head.

Could it be that this awkward yet arrogant annoying fellow… liked her?

She recalled that, in primary school, there was such a boy.

He lived near her house, so they went to kindergarten and elementary school together.

Because of that, she saw him as a very close friend.

However, one day, when the other kids asked him if he liked her, he gave them a reply, which dripped with disdain.

“Who likes that frail, little crybaby?! I hate her the most! If my mom didn’t ask me to take care of her, I’d never walk with her! I’m a real man! I don’t enjoy playing with her at all!”

She remembered that, after she had heard the boy’s response, she cried her eyes out as she ran back home. Afterward, she never went to and from school with that boy again.

When it was time for their graduation, though, the boy unexpectedly appeared before her and told her that he liked her…

This man… Was he like that awkward, little kid? Did he actually like her, too?

Could she have hopes for that?

“Do you—”
