Chapter 112: The Cheongsam
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Shui Anluo shut her mouth, she looked down and stared at her toes.
Chu Ningyi only sent her a cool look before he reached out to pick up the box. Upon opening it, he found a fiery-red cheongsam inside.
The cheongsam was the one thing that could truly display the beauty of the East.
However, was this a cheongsam for Shui Anluo who has the body of a bean sprout?
Chu Ningyi suddenly felt that his mother might have done this on purpose.
“Go and try it out,” said Chu Ningyi as he took out the cheongsam and tossed it at Shui Anluo.
Shui Anluo carefully accepted the cheongsam and frowned. She has never worn something like this before. Even on her wedding day, all she had was a wedding dress.
“Me, wear this?” Shui Anluo gulped. Indeed, her ex-mother-in-law’s visit was not as simple as it seemed.
Shui Anluo quietly stared down at her breasts and secretly thought that her ex-mother-in-law might have done this on purpose. She has no boobs, no waist, and no buttocks but she was going to make her wear a cheongsam. Furthermore, it was such a showy shade of fiery-red.
“Didn’t you hear me?” Chu Ningyi raised his brows and asked though he also felt as if this was not a wise decision.
Shui Anluo may not be fat but she has the body of a woman who had just given birth. She was a little chubbier than she used to be.
“Miss, try it out and see. A body like yours is definitely suitable for a cheongsam. Skinny people can’t hold this and fat people are all meat. Your body, Miss, is just right.” Maid Yu exclaimed excitedly. She was the one who had come up with the suggestion for this cheongsam.
Shui Anluo’s mouth twitched as Maid Yu pushed her upstairs.
As it turns out, this was also a saying for wearing a cheongsam.
Chu Ningyi got up and transferred himself from the wheelchair to the sofa. He picked up the little darling who was playing with his toys in his cradle. The little darling gurgled and opened his little mouth into a toothless smile at the sight of his daddy. He then looked down and continued to play.
As if it was to say: Granting you a smile was good enough.
Cocky son.
Chu Ningyi reached out and touched his little head with the slightly curly hair. This kid was definitely cockier than he was.
Shui Anluo changed her clothes and looked at her reflection in the mirror. It was an elegant medium-length cheongsam and was a little higher on her mid-calf with a dragon and phoenix on both sides of the bodice up to the buttons. The dress was hand-embroidered with gold peonies which looked vivid and lifelike.
The cheongsam was not sleeveless but the sleeves stopped three-quarters down her arm and concealed her slightly meaty shoulders.
It goes without saying that this cheongsam compliments her figure very well.
Shui Anluo took out a red-colored wooden hair clip and tied her hair up loosely. Her innocence carried a languid kind of beauty with it as well.
Shui Anluo had never truly known that she could look this beautiful. Naturally, this matter could not be admired on her own so Shui Anluo whipped out her phone and took a picture to show Qiao Yaruan.
Unfortunately, Qiao Yaruan did not reply. Shui Anluo assumed that the Empress Dowager must still be asleep at this time so there was no need for her to wait for her mesmerized response.
Shui Anluo put the phone down and walked downstairs. However, she felt a bit nervous as she was heading down. She does not know if Chu Ningyi would think the cheongsam looked good on her.
Shui Anluo’s stomach was full of apprehension as she walked downstairs. Due to Maid Yu’s cry of alarm, she nearly missed a step and almost fell.
Chu Ningyi also looked up because of Maid Yu’s cry. His gaze was somewhat mesmerized. She was not skinny but had curves in the right places. It was as Maid Yu had said, skinny people could not hold it up and a fat person would not be able to fit.
“I knew that this would suit you perfectly, Miss, indeed,” exclaimed Maid Yu excitedly as she pulled Shui Anluo down. She looked back and her eyes could not hold her pleasant surprise back.
