32 Evening Gown (2/2)
'He Xinyan lifted the dress inside the box up carefully and saw that it was light blue in color. It was an off-shoulder gown with a very simple design. The entire dress was made of silk satin and it pulled in at the waist.'
'There were no excessive pieces of silk or decoration
and it looked kind of plain to He Xinyan. How much was this piece of plain fabric worth?'
'He Xinyan leaned forward and examined the fabric
and noticed something sparkling. She set the dress onto the bed and looked closely at the bottom section of the dress.'
'Sprinkled across the fabric
were tiny blue and white diamonds glued onto the dress. Inside the room
it was hard to tell
but He Xinyan could guess that in the dark or under the sunlight
the diamonds would probably sparkle.'
'Each diamond was placed meticulously and although it seemed like the designer just sprinkled the diamonds over the dress randomly
when looking carefully
He Xinyan could tell that there was also a design in placing the diamonds.'
'He Xinyan walked back over to the large box and picked up the pair of shoes that also came with the box. The shoes were light blue
and they were probably around 10 cm in length. The shoes also looked quite plain
but He Xinyan noticed the same diamond design on the shoes.'
'Inside the black box
there was also a white card with the signature of the designer on it and a paragraph written by the designer about her thought process on this piece of clothing.'
'The main and only designer of Hepix was Claudette Caro
and she has won several awards with her unique and beautiful designs.'
''My design concept for this gown is the beautiful ocean. When people think of the ocean
they usually describe it with the color blue. However
the ocean isn't only blue. At day
the ocean sparkles. At night
the ocean sparkles. The world underneath the waves is always shining and alive. The oceans hold so much power
yet the world doesn't appreciate it's beauty enough. May you be just as clean and powerful as the ocean with this dress
and I hope that this dress can bring you many amazing wonders'.'
'As a normal girl
He Xinyan's heart was beating excitedly as she read what Claudette Caro wrote for this dress.'
'Almost every single woman in the world would like beautiful clothing
and He Xinyan was no exception. She immediately put the dress on and realized that the gown looked even more beautiful on her body.'
'From this dress
He Xinyan understood the idea that a good piece of clothing can really change a person. This dress was designed so perfectly that it accentuated her beautiful features and figure
but also did a good job in hiding the tiny flaws of her body.'
'He Xinyan then quickly did her makeup and her hair before grabbing a bag and slowly walking out of her bedroom. She walked cautiously the whole way down the stairs
afraid of getting the dress or shoes dirty.'
'When she arrived downstairs
she saw Bai Jiawei and Li Huiran sitting on the couch.'
'”Where are you going dressed so beautifully?” Bai Jiawei asked as his eyes brightened a little at the sight of his beautiful daughter.'
'”I have to attend an evening party with my friend.”'
'”Oh
who is it?” Li Huiran also looked up and asked. She didn't recognize that the brand of the dress was Hepix
as there was no logo on the dress. Also
only a few people have actually seen a Hepix product
and they were usually the very top of the upper class.'
'The news about her and Gu Yechen had died down a long time ago
because after a few hours of posting
Gu Yechen had removed his post about him dating He Xinyan
and he also ordered Chen Xiao to remove all the news articles about him and He Xinyan.'
'Therefore
most people have forgotten about that news already
and Bai Jiawei seemed to have also forgotten that his daughter was dating Gu Yechen.'
'”Just someone from school
” He Xinyan lied. ”I'm going to go now. Bye.”'
'He Xinyan walked out of the house and down the front steps. She lifted her dress up with both hands and kept an eye out the entire time
making sure the dress didn't touch the ground.'
'When she reached the sidewalk
she saw that Gu Yechen had already arrived.'
