It was a charity dinner organized by a well - known fashion magazine in the industry.
Not only capitalists like Huo Linsheng were invited, but also many celebrities. Naturally, there were also many internet influencers trying to get some popularity.
Huo Xiao was still angry at first, but then she thought that she hadn't shown up for a long time since she was hospitalized. This charity dinner was the best opportunity for her to re - enter the social scene.
She attached great importance to this dinner.
She did skin care, bought haute couture, made an appointment with a well - reputed studio in the industry for styling, and even paid for photographers and marketing accounts.
She was determined to get beautiful photos of herself taken and on the hot search list as soon as possible.
Since many first - tier big - name stars were invited to this charity dinner, entertainment journalists and paparazzi were very concerned. Even though they couldn't get into the dinner, they had squatted outside the venue early.
Huo Xiao's appearance was not as good as those in the entertainment circle, and her condition was not great just after giving birth. However, with her whole set of equipment, she managed to attract everyone's attention.
With prior preparations, she even managed to squeeze into the tail end of the hot search list.
"Wow! A real - life rich and beautiful young lady has appeared!"
"Pretty and rich. Rich lady, look at me."
"Is there anyone who knows about these things and can tell us how much this young lady's outfit costs?"
"To be honest, the rich lady's appearance is not as good as those top - tier stars, but she has an advantage in her temperament. She's won! There's no suspense at all!"
Huo Xiao was scrolling through the netizens' comments. When she saw that someone said her appearance was not as good as those entertainment stars, she was a bit unhappy. But when she saw that someone said she won in terms of temperament, she immediately became confident again.
Just as she was happy, there was a sudden commotion at the door.
Huo Xiao instinctively turned her head.
Ling Nuan was wearing a cheongsam and was holding Huo Linsheng's arm as they appeared at the door of the banquet hall.
As soon as they appeared, they caught everyone's attention.
One reason was Huo Linsheng's status, and the other was that Ling Nuan was really beautiful today.
The clothes were chosen by Huo Linsheng.
Just thinking about the process of choosing clothes made Ling Nuan have a headache.
Since they were going to attend the charity dinner, Huo Linsheng even took her off work for half a day and they tried on dresses for an afternoon.
"Do I look good?"
When she tried on the dress for the first time, Ling Nuan was in a good mood. After changing into the dress, she even twirled around in front of Huo Linsheng. Which girl didn't like beautiful dresses?
Huo Linsheng nodded. "Beautiful, but—"
Ling Nuan tugged at the dress a bit nervously and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with it?"
Huo Linsheng commented, "The skirt is too big. It's inconvenient to move around."
Hearing this, Ling Nuan seriously thought about it. He was right.
Those female stars in the entertainment circle were competing for attention, but she didn't care about such things. She should choose something convenient for herself.
The staff beside them immediately pushed over a row of simpler and more convenient dresses with a smile. "Miss Ling, take a look at these."
Ling Nuan and the staff picked out a few and continued to change.
"Do I look good? Although this is a long dress, the style is simple and it won't restrict my movement." Ling Nuan twirled around again to show herself from all angles. She was quite satisfied with this dress.
Huo Linsheng shook his head. "No."
"What's wrong with it?" Ling Nuan asked.
Huo Linsheng stepped forward.
The back of the dress was almost bare, with only some laces as decoration.
Huo Linsheng hooked the laces with his fingertips and replied, "It shows too much."
Ling Nuan: "..."
"Are you an old - fashioned monster from the old times?" Ling Nuan complained.
But the one who was paying was the boss.
Ling Nuan still went to change.
This time, she chose a relatively more conservative one.
Huo Linsheng was still not satisfied.
"It's not as good - looking as the previous one."
Ling Nuan sneered and continued to change.
She really didn't expect that Huo Linsheng could come up with so many reasons.
This one was inconvenient, that one showed too much, this one was not as good - looking as the previous one, and there was even the color of the dress not matching his clothes!
There was originally a dress that was beautiful, conservative and convenient. Ling Nuan was very satisfied with it.
Then, Huo Linsheng said, "Is green inappropriate?"
Ling Nuan: "..."
"You look down on nature. What's wrong with green!"
Huo Linsheng: "Green really bothers me."
Looking at his self - assured look, Ling Nuan was so angry that she didn't want to say a word.
After trying on so many dresses, Ling Nuan was already tired. She slumped on the sofa and refused to get up no matter what. "I'm not trying anymore. Either you go and pick one directly. I'm really tired!"
Hearing Ling Nuan say this, Huo Linsheng didn't feel embarrassed at all.
The staff had already brought a new batch of dresses, which were completely in line with Huo Linsheng's requirements this time.
Then, he picked out a cheongsam from them.
It was a long cheongsam. Originally, it was a short - sleeved cheongsam, but he also asked someone to match it with a shawl. It really didn't show anything.
Ling Nuan had given up. She didn't care anymore. Whatever he chose, she would wear. Unexpectedly, the cheongsam looked quite good on her.
Ling Nuan had a good figure, and this cheongsam was a modern - style one, which just showed off her figure to the fullest.
Ling Nuan instantly fell in love with it.
Huo Linsheng was a bit dissatisfied again. "How about changing another one?"
Although everything was covered, but with her curvy figure, covering it too tightly didn't seem right either. Huo Linsheng frowned as if he had encountered a big problem.
Ling Nuan didn't follow his advice.
"You chose it. I don't care. This one is fine." With that, she pulled the staff away and didn't give Huo Linsheng any chance to change his mind.
Ling Nuan was beautiful. In fact, she looked good in anything.
The makeup artist looked at this beauty and got a lot of inspiration. She had an idea in her mind and discussed with Ling Nuan, "Miss Ling, do you want a more retro - style look?"
Ling Nuan was extremely tired and replied, "Do whatever you like. Just make it look good."
When the makeup artist heard this, her eyes lit up.
She chose a style from the Republic of China era. She curled Ling Nuan's hair and matched it with a white - colored hat with tulle, as well as pearl earrings and a pearl necklace.
This kind of styling was quite common. The makeup artist mainly focused on the details and also chose a matching brooch.
When Ling Nuan was dressed up and appeared in front of Huo Linsheng, Huo Linsheng couldn't help but be stunned.
"Do I look good?"
Ling Nuan had asked this question several times today, but this time, she suddenly felt a bit shy.
The makeup artist said that she looked like the white - moonlight character in those Republic of China dramas now.
"Beautiful." Huo Linsheng stepped forward and showed his admiration with actions.
He kissed her lips.
Ling Nuan immediately pushed him away in disgust. "You've smeared my lipstick."
Huo Linsheng laughed.
Ling Nuan had amazed Huo Linsheng, and now she naturally amazed everyone at the charity dinner.
"Who is this? I've never seen this person in the entertainment circle."
"Humph, she's not from the entertainment circle. She's Mr. Huo's girlfriend."
"They're a perfect match. They're really extraordinary. Just standing there, the whole atmosphere is different."
Hearing the praises of Ling Nuan from the people around her, Huo Xiao was extremely angry.
She decided to scroll through the comments again to make herself feel better.
But unfortunately, things didn't go as she wished.
"Sisters, help me find out. Who is this beautiful young lady?"
The attached photo was clearly of Ling Nuan.
