Chapter 1954

The group went to the second floor, all pouring into Baili Xia’s room.

The servant laid out the evening gowns, one by one, on the bed for them to slowly choose from.

Every gown was stunning, some particularly ornate, others more focused on elegance and presence.

With so many displayed here, the girls were suddenly dazzled.

Baili Xia casually picked up a purple evening gown, which only had a large embroidered flower on the left chest and no other embellishments.

“Xiaxia, this style seems a bit too understated, it doesn’t highlight your charm,” Ning Anran remarked.

Baili Xia tugged at her lips and gently replied, “I don’t want to be ostentatious, something simple suits me.”

Ning Anran smiled softly, “Makes sense, saying that, I want to choose something like this too.”

She walked a circle around the bed and set her eyes on a bright red evening gown similar in style to Baili Xia’s.

“This one, then.”

She picked up the gown, examined it carefully, and satisfied, went into the bathroom to try it on.

“Zimo, why haven’t you picked anything?” Baili Xia urged Zimo.

Zimo looked at the bed full of evening gowns, clearly unwilling.

“These clothes, too…”

“Too what? Scared of showing skin?” Baili Xia joked.

“No way, what’s the issue? This evening gown just reveals a bit of back and neck.”

“I don’t want to wear it.” Zimo was not buying her logic.

“You’ve been with my older brother, you’ve done everything there is to do, how come you’re still so stuck in your ways,” Baili Xia teased.

Zimo’s face flushed instantly; they truly hadn’t done that after being together.

Besides, wearing such outfits for so many men to see, she really didn’t want that.

“Zimo, are you hoping to wear it only for my brother to see?”

“Stop talking nonsense.” Zimo’s face reddened further, she walked over, without looking, and picked up a gown randomly. “This one, then.”

As they chatted, Ning Anran came out of the bathroom having changed into her outfit.

“Anran, you look beautiful in this gown,” Wen Yu praised.

Even though the others might not want to admit it, they had to agree that Ning Anran looked quite beautiful in the evening gown.

The delicate tailoring made Ning Anran’s figure look captivating.

But, the vibrant red gown didn’t seem understated at all.

Its large V-shaped neckline plunged from the neck down to the navel.

The transparent lace at the chest area was only concealed by a few embroidered feathers.

Wearing this gown to attend the party would definitely attract quite a few men’s attention.

“Mrs. Wen, is it really pretty?” Despite her full confidence, Ning Anran shyly asked.

“It’s beautiful, just ask Xiaxia and the others.”

Ning Anran’s gaze shifted to Baili Xia, eagerly awaiting her response.

Baili Xia nodded, even though she felt she couldn’t accept such attire herself, she still said, “Beautiful.”

“Alright, this one it is then.”

Seeing the others had already picked their outfits, Ning Anran added, “You guys go try yours on too.”

Baili Xia tried on that purple evening gown and indeed exuded a pure and elegant aura.

She was very satisfied with it, this was exactly the feeling she wanted.

Zimo’s was a black evening gown, which matched well with her demeanor.

Only Xiaoxiao was the most troublesome, choosing set after set, never feeling satisfied.

Eventually, with no other option, she settled on a white evening gown.

Heard the banquet will be attended by the big figures from the Eight Big Families.

Everyone was a bit cautious.

No matter what, they couldn’t lose face for the Mu family.
