5 Chapter 5: Turbulence in the Internet 2 (1/2)

Song Xiulan gaped and gasped when she saw the dress Dandan bought. The dress was beautiful but it was too sexy and eye-catching for her.

”Dandan... isn't this a little too much?” Xiulan can't help but ask.

”Boss! The restaurant is a seven star restaurant. A lot of prestigious people will be there and I would like my boss to always look her best even if it's just a dinner.” Dandan retorted.

”...” Xiulan was speechless. All she could do was nod at Secretary Dandan's suggestions.

It was almost seven pm. Dandan helped Xiulan also do her makeup and hair. The makeup was unnecessary but Dandan urged her to wear some makeup. Xiulan just obliged since Dandan refused to let her go if she didn't wear any makeup. It's like Dandan already envisioned what she wanted to do and no one can stop her.

Xiulan is now wearing a baby blue sleeveless laced short dress from Elie Saab. Her cleavage can be seen slightly but it was not provocative. It was also tight from the waist to hips and ends on the thighs that made Xiulan's perfect figure exposed.

Dandan chose this dress because she already imagined that her beautiful boss would look like a goddess in it and she was definitely right.

Dandan wanted to boost her boss' sex appeal. She actually wanted Hongqi to know that her boss' beauty was unlike any of his previous lovers. She must set a line that her boss and his celebrity girlfriends are far worlds apart.

Dandan also knew about Gong Yuming. She wants to let that woman know that there is a person who exists that is far more beautiful than her. Also smarter and kinder! She thought of Gong Yuming as a harlot since she only snatched Hongqi from his previous lover.

Dandan raised her head and brushed her chin decisively. She felt good over the perfect results. She imaginary patted her back to congratulate herself for good work.

”Boss! You look so ethereal! I bet Hongqi will be head over heels for you once he sees this work of art!” Dandan dreamily said.

Xiulan glanced at the mirror in front of her and looked at Dandan's work. She always knew that Dandan was really good in fashion but she really worked hard on her looks tonight. She treat her to some expensive meat soon.

”Dandan, thank you so much for working hard. I really appreciate this makeover. But I would like to correct you. I don't want that Hongqi to like me.” Xiulan smiled when she commended Dandan but immediately removed the smile when she mentioned Hongqi.

Dandan sweated. She's suddenly confused of the situation. Her boss didn't like Hongqi? She never thought about that. Dandan thought that Xiulan also liked Hongqi since she's allowing him to court her. There must be a mistake, she never thought about that! What if her boss is mad at her for making her look too good for Hongqi? She silently cursed herself.

”Dandan, don't worry. I can read on your face that you're suddenly worried. Your work is fine. I just want to correct you that I don't like Hongqi. I'm only doing this for father. Right now, I just don't want him to harbor unnecessary feelings or attraction for me. I'm not saying I'm confident that he will like me, but the way he acted in front of me when we met makes me really cautious.” Xiulan confessed and smiled at Dandan to ease the tension.

Dandan was dumbfounded but managed to nod and synced all the words from her boss. Her boss was right though and has a point.

Xiulan put some perfume before she heads out of her office.

Dandan drove Xiulan to the venue. Dandan will also eagerly wait for Xiulan to finish her dinner with Hongqi. She was sure that Xiulan will try not to go with Hongqi after their dinner. So she obliged to wait for her and send her home.

When Xiulan steps out of her car, all the people outside the hotel put their attention to her. She was extremely and mysteriously beautiful. There was an ethereal aura lingering on her.

Dandan looked at the people's reactions and she quietly sobbed that her work and her boss were appreciated.

As Xiulan walked towards the restaurant, people can't help but take a second glance or gape at her. Some women asked their partners not to look and some quietly asked who she was or what's the brand of her dress or who her surgeon was.

Men wanted to talk and approach her but she has this cold aura that wouldn't let them do what they want.

When Xiulan entered the restaurant, a woman who looked like a manager of the restaurant talked to her and asked if she has a reservation. The womanlooked at her with a begrudging and jealous look.

”Shit. I forgot to ask Dandan about the details. Stupid.” Xiulan quietly scolded herself. She was hungry so all she can think about was food since awhile ago that she already forgot to ask Dandan the details.

She was about to answer when someone called her name.

”Miss Song, you're here.” A very handsome muscled man said. Her mind tried to find who this person was in her memory. Good thing she remembered that it was one of Hongqi's men. She saw him last time when she met Hongqi. He is one of the two bulky guys before.

Xiulan smiled at him and greeted. ”Hello.”

The young muscled man smiled as well. ”I'm Young Master Hongqi's secretary, Gong Yang Bo. Master is already here. He was with a client earlier but he's all alone now. Also you are very beautiful, Miss Xiulan.” Yang Bo said. Yang Bo glanced at the restaurant manager and uttered ”She's with us.”

The restaurant manager nodded and smiled at Yang Bo. She gave a malicious one last look at Xiulan before she puts her attention on the log book.

Yang Bo escorted Xiulan to where Hongqi is. All Xiulan could notice was that the people inside the restaurant were uttering Hongqi's name.

”I saw God Xing Hongqi! Good gracious, he was magnificent!”

”It's my first time seeing Xing Hongqi in person! I feel like I'm too lucky today.”

”Who is he with? I thought he was with Gong Yuming. He was all alone at his table.”

”Damn, he's all alone. I want to talk to him and propose about the new theme park we have. I want him to invest.”

”I really want to take a picture with him but we're in a seven star restaurant. It will be too embarrassing!”

Xiulan's throat suddenly went dry. She can't help but feel a certain pressure and an insecure feeling. She wanted to go back where she came from and go to her parents' house and demand that she doesn't want to get married.
