Xu Weilai studied her reflection in the mirror for a moment and nodded lightly. Then, she said, “I’ll have to trouble Master Tony to work on my makeup, make me look…delicate and touching.”
“…” Tony hesitated. “Don’t you think it would be more suitable to make you look like a fairy?”
“A delicate and touching one, please. Thank you.”
Tony did a facepalm. Even though he felt that it would be a waste, he could only mutter to himself, “The customer is God. The one who pays is the boss. Bosses can do whatever they want.”

At seven o’clock sharp, Xu Weilai pushed open the door of the fashion house and slowly walked down the stairs.
Qiao Chu stood by the car as he waited for her. He was stunned the moment he saw her although they were no longer stranger after working together for a while.
Was the women before him the same women who went after news fiercer than any man, the plain Xu Weilai that wore no makeup and clad mostly with T-shirt and jeans?
In Qiao Chu’s eyes, he never saw Xu Weilai as a woman. If a woman was too strong, it blurred the line of gender identification.
Which was why his jaw dropped when he suddenly saw such a feminine side of her.
He was still stunned when Xu Weilai walked up to him. She raised her hand and waved her dainty fingers in front of his eyes, her voice was sweeter than usual. “Qiao Chu, come back.”
Qiao Chu’s mind was dragged back to reality. He couldn’t help blushing and quickly opened the back seat door for her. “Please.”
Xu Weilai got into the car and realized that Zuo An wasn’t inside. When Qiao Chu settled in the driver seat, she inquired, “Where’s Big Boss?”
She was used to calling him that, and Qiao Chu did not bother to correct her as he too, got used to hearing her calling Zuo An Big Boss, “Mr. Zuo has some matters to take care of. He will be waiting for you at the venue.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
As the car moved, the sky gradually darkened.
Xu Weilai turned her head and looked at the scenery outside the car window. Thousands of emotions flashed through her eyes, one after another until there were none.
The car stopped at the entrance of the venue. She put on a smile.
Today’s event was a grand cocktail party, a gathering of business magnates and celebrities. The entrance was garnished with a long red carpet, with paparazzi flocking outside.
When Xu Weilai got out of the car, she caught a glimpse of Gu Yu and Zuo Si. Zuo Si’s arm was around Gu Yu’s as they walked the red carpet together.
Zuo Si was a cold beauty. She did smile, but it was usually a mocking smile, disdainful smile, cold smile, and even arrogant smile. At this moment, Xu Weilai could feel that the smile Zuo Si had on her face was just a smile, coming from a woman.
She stared without blinking. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, a hint of redness slowly appeared in her eyes as if she was fighting the urge to tear up.
She trembled when the cold wind of the night blew. She could not tell whether it was her body’s reaction towards the chill, or because she was disheartened.
The next moment, she felt a suit jacket cloaked her body.
She turned her head and looked. Zuo An had appeared beside her before she could realize. Even though they did not have any agreement before this, he was also dressed in a white suit, which matched her white dress perfectly.
