บท 86: Art(2)

After sneakily adding his 'honorable work of art' on Wan Jia's dress, Lu Aotian calmed himself down as they arrived at Elder Qian's residence.

Many people had already arrived. It was such an amazing sight to see well dressed men and women looking elegant as they got out of their cars. However, to Lu Aotian, all of them looked ordinary. His wife was the most beautiful.

The time had come for Lu Aotian to make a move. He got out of the car and decisively turned around to open the door for her, holding out his palm for her to hold. Although she wanted to punish him a little longer, she didn't want to embarrass him in public hence she 'very reluctantly' put her soft little palm in his.

"There are too many people." She got a little nervous.

"Ignore them." He said simply.

Then he pretended to have noticed something and furrowed his eyebrows.

"What is it?"

"My love, you have a stain here." He said as he touched the part where he had 'accidentally' left a lipstick stain.

"How troublesome." She frowned.

"Let's get back in the car. I'll ask the chauffeur to get you a new dress." He said. "Or do you want to cover it up with your hair?" her hair was very long and thick after all… The effect would be men keeping their distance since they would know that she was taken.

Wait, that was not right. She was a woman. A man having a lipstick stain would announce his unavailable status but for a woman, it would be a different story. He suddenly wished he had left a bite mark on her neck instead.

She glared at him. "How can you even think of something ridiculous? I have a spare dress with me, don't trouble the chauffeur."

She had a spare dress? Just perfect. Everything was going according to his plan.

"You go ahead first, I'll get changed in the car and join you." She said.

"Alright." He almost broke into a joyful dance.

…

"President Lu." Someone greeted as soon as he went in.

"Did you say President Lu? Lu Aotian?"

"It's really Lu Aotian. He's too handsome."

All the young ladies present held their hearts as they admired him. Too bad no one had enough courage to walk up to him. Otherwise, he would be surrounded by a bevy of beauties.

"Elder Qian," Lu Aotian walked up to the elder who was chatting with the guests.

"Oh you! Lu Aotian, long time no see." Elder Qian greeted enthusiastically. He had quite a good impression of this young man who had taken over his family business at a very young age. Too bad he did not have any granddaughters. He would have loved to be in the same family as such a reputable man.

"Mmh long time indeed."

The Elder momentarily forgot about the other guests and dragged Lu Aotian to a table on the balcony for a game of chess.

"Is your old man coming?" Elder Qian asked. He had invited Lu Tongyan too but the latter was probably too busy.

"He had to step in for me temporarily. My younger brother will come later on his behalf."

"That's good, that's good."

He liked Lu Shaoting too. Just how many good deeds had the late Elder Lu done in his past lifetime to deserve two capable grandsons? He was jealous!

As they chatted, there was suddenly some commotion downstairs. Both of them peered over.

"Whoa! She's so beautiful. Whose daughter is that?"

Everyone was gaping in awe at a young lady that had just arrived. Taking bold steps, everything about her exuded of beauty. Her soft skin was devoid of any blemish as the white gown on her emphasized its fairness. Gliding into the mansion with a hint of a smile on her face, she was no different from a royal pacing around in her own territory. Suddenly all the dolled up young ladies looked too ordinary.

"She's too gorgeous. And the gown on her, I don't recognize it from any famous brand but it looks like it was made specifically for her!" one middle aged woman exclaimed.

"Aaah! My son should be just a few years older than her. Do you think I could set them up?"

"Hey! I thought about that first. She's my future daughter-in-law. Don't you get any funny ideas!"

Lu Aotian almost spat out blood when he saw her.

She had really changed out of her former dress but this…

"Isn't that Designer Wan?" someone recognized her.

"Aaaaah! You're right. She looks so different from the last time I almost couldn't recognize her. My goddess! I have to get an autograph."

Suddenly, Wan Jia's way was blocked as she was surrounded by the younger ladies who wanted autographs.

"Goddess, you look so beautiful today."

"Today? The goddess looks beautiful every day."

"Goddess, can I take a selfie with you?"

"Goddess, your gown is so beautiful. Is it your new design?"

It was indeed her own design. She had only shopped for shoes and accessories but the dress was designed all by her and produced by Elite Fashion World with Lu Aotian's permission. It was from the same line as the one that had gotten stained- there were only two of them.

"Hey, could you ladies move aside? We want to see the goddess, not your coarse backs." The men complained.

Lu Aotian clenched his fists tightly. How could she do this?

He had wanted her to change into something less beautiful. Not an off-shoulder gown that made her breasts look fuller and was even much more seductive than the previous one!
