Chapter 60 (1/2)

At this moment, a small figure dashed inside with a dog following after him. The little boy and the dog hurtled towards him. Gong Yexiao caught the little fellow in his arms. Chai Chai leapt onto the sofa and placed its head on Gong Yexiao's shoulder.

Gong Yexiao reached out to give Chai Chai a pat. He then looked at the little boy's face which was layered in a sheen of sweat. It seemed that the little fellow had a great time playing. “Daddy, Chai Chai is so cute! I love him.”

Chai Chai whined with excitement. At this time, Old Master Gong came in while being supported on the hand by the steward. Chai Chai jumped off the sofa to welcome the old master.

“This kid is too energetic. At my age, I'm unable to keep up with him.” Seeing the lively boy, Old Master Gong came to the realization that he was now too old to even move about like him.

“Xiao Ze, would you like to have dinner with great-grandpa this evening? Daddy has some matters to attend to. I'll pick you up later tonight. ” Gong Yexiao spoke to his son.

Blinking his big eyes, the little boy nodded obediently. “Alright. Daddy, you'll need to bring mommy home too, okay?”

The corners of Gong Yexiao's mouth turned upwards. “Alright.”

Old Master Gong furrowed his brows. It seemed that this child stuck close to his mother.

In the next hour, Old Master Gong went to take a nap while Gong Yexiao took the little fellow to a nearby playground to play. This was an affluent neighborhood. Gong Yexiao brought along his bodyguards and had a good time with the little boy.

It was probably because the kid was just three years old that he was so active. The little boy was full of zest as he played on the slide with five other kids.

Cheng Liyue was busy in the office for quite a while. She glanced up and saw that it was already five. She still had to get herself ready for the event at six. Walking to Linda's office, she rapped on the door and proceeded to ask, “Linda jie, can I leave work first?”

“Are you going to the event now?”

“En. I'll be going over now. ”

“Dressed like that?”

“Uh… yeah.”

“It's easy for people to mistake you for a waitress if you're going like that. Let's go. I'm heading out and I just so happen to know the owner of a boutique. We'll go and rent you a dress.” Linda gently told her.

Cheng Liyue rarely attended events such as this. She wasn't aware that there was a dress code. When Linda had stepped out of her office, Cheng Liyue gave Linda a hug and laughed. “Linda jie, you're so nice to me. How could I ever repay you?”

“Come up with the best design — that will be the best reward for me.” Linda chuckled and left the company together with Cheng Liyue.

The boutique that Linda mentioned was located in a mall not far from the company. Although the boutique wasn't very large, the evening gowns inside were gorgeous. Renting one would cost at least a thousand. But Cheng Liyue felt that it would be worth the money spent because the experience gained from tonight's event was something that could not be bought with money.

Creativity was essential to her work as a designer — even the slightest trace of inspiration was invaluable as it could lead to the inception of a masterpiece.

Linda selected a royal blue spaghetti strap evening gown for Cheng Liyue. Cheng Liyue felt it awkward to wear such a revealing dress. After putting it on, she was stunned by the result.

“Wow! Miss, you have such an amazing figure and your skin is so fair. Not just any one can work this dress.” The boutique owner said with admiration.

Although the V-neck dress was not too revealing in the front, she found the back of the dress which had a mid-back, criss cross design, a little bit overwhelming.
