Chapter 5 If you agree to pretend to be my girlfriend, I will help you 3
On Saturday, I arrived at the agreed place at the agreed time. It was a flagship store of a famous brand clothing. The window displayed the most popular dresses of the season, and the models on the posters had stern faces. You didn't need to look to know that the clothes inside were not ordinary expensive.
I stood at the door of the store, looking at the passers-by coming and going. Why did Yi Youxi ask me to come here? Were you here specifically to buy clothes?
At this time, an elongated black Lincoln drove slowly over, followed by two black Mercedes-Benzes, which also stopped at the door of the store at the same time , attracting the surprised gazes of passers-by.
After the car stopped, a servant in a formal dress ran down from the passenger seat, then walked around to the back and opened the rear door. A foot wearing expensive round-toed leather shoes stepped down, and then I saw an exquisite white dress... A blond boy in a white dress walked out of the car gracefully.
A group of bodyguards wearing black suits and black sunglasses got out of the two cars behind.
Curious passers-by all retreated to the sides, fearing that they would accidentally provoke them and be beaten to pieces.
Uh... every time Yi Youxi appears, it’s always with great fanfare, like the president of a country.
Yi Youxi saw me standing at the door of the store and walked over slowly. Ford, the servant, followed me loyally and humbly. The group of men in black immediately lined up at the door of the store, guarding the door like statues. Even a fly would not be able to fly in.
Haha! Shopping with this group of people is like sweeping the streets. After a round of shopping, there will be no one left on the street!
"Welcome!" The waiter opened the door for us respectfully.
Yi Youxi took me into the store, and Ford continued to follow behind.
The white marble in the store is shiny and the decorations around it are gorgeous yet low-key. You can tell at a glance that it is a true top brand, not one of those gaudy brands.
"Your Highness Yi Youxi, we have prepared the dress you ordered yesterday!" A beautiful woman who looked like a store manager came over and said respectfully.
"Well, take her to try." Yi Youxi nodded and glanced at me.
"Miss, please follow me." The manager extended his hand and said with a smile.
Why did you bring me here to try on a dress? I glanced at Yi Youxi suspiciously, and saw him walk to the sofa and sit down. A waiter beside him immediately brought coffee respectfully. Ford reached out to take the coffee she brought, then waved his hand to tell her to leave and served her himself.
Alas - I sighed unbearably and followed the manager into the store.
She took me to the dressing room and handed me a set of clothes and a pair of exquisite high heels. "If you have any questions, please feel free to call me!" She smiled and helped me close the door of the dressing room.
Wow! So beautiful! I stared at the white silk dress in my hand. This one is also beautiful! I stared at the silver high heels inlaid with diamonds and couldn't help but widen my eyes.
I wonder how much this costs? I flipped open the label. One, two, three, four, five... Wow! Five zeros! So... so expensive. I put on my dress and high heels carefully, fearing that I would accidentally damage them.
Really, why did they ask me to try on such an expensive dress? I wonder what Yi Youxi is up to! I changed my clothes and walked out of the dressing room in confusion.
The manager smiled, stretched out his hand, and said politely, "Miss, please follow me!"
"What are you going to do again?" I pursed my lips and followed reluctantly.
She took me to the dressing table and pulled out a chair for me to sit down. "You are pretty, just put on some light makeup!" The manager smiled and took out various cosmetics to apply on my face. After a while, a beautiful woman with red lips, white teeth and a rosy face was born! I looked at the girl in the floor-length mirror and couldn't believe my eyes. Is this me?
The hair on the temples was pulled back, leaving only a few slightly curly strands scattered randomly, looking natural and elegant. A delicate oval face was lightly made up, with big and bright eyes that seemed to be able to speak. The cheeks were pink and tender, and the wheat-colored skin looked very energetic. A small cherry mouth was soft and shiny, making people want to take a bite.
A slim-fitting white silk dress outlines her figure, which is as perfect as if it was carved out. A pair of silver high heels on her feet makes her look straighter and taller. The broken diamonds sparkle in the sun.
The manager smiled and took me back to the store. Yi Youxi was sitting on the sofa drinking coffee, and Ford was standing upright like a poplar. When they saw me, they were both stunned.
"Your Highness Yi Youxi, are you satisfied?" The manager asked with a smile, pointing at me who looked refreshed.
"Beautiful, you look like a completely different person, don't you, Your Highness?" Ford nodded repeatedly.
"Yeah." Yi Youxi glanced at me calmly and immediately turned his face away. He didn't show any special expression, but two blushes quietly appeared on his fair face.
Yi Youxi blushed! I said I am a diamond, I will shine one day!
"Let's go!" While I was still drooling narcissistically, Yi Youxi called me coldly and walked out of the store.
Am I going out dressed like this? I opened my mouth wide and stared blankly at the dress I was wearing. At this time, Yi Youxi had already walked out of the store. I hurriedly chased after him, shouting, "Wait for me!"
"Welcome back next time!" The manager smiled and saw me off.
After we walked out of the clothing store, Ford immediately rushed to the front of the Lincoln and opened the rear door for us. I followed Yi Youxi in. After Ford closed the door, he quickly sat in the front passenger seat. The group of bodyguards who were guarding the store door like a guard also quickly got into the two Mercedes-Benz cars at the back.
The three cars were driving on the street again, raising a large cloud of dust.
"Where are we going dressed like this? Attending a party?" I turned my head and looked at Yi Youxi curiously and asked.
"You'll know when you get there," he said coldly, his eyes staring straight ahead.
Humph! What are you doing? I pouted and rolled my eyes at him. He has been acting mysterious since the beginning...
But I just realized that he had dressed up carefully today. His slightly curly blond hair was fixed with wax into a casual yet elegant hairstyle, with one or two bangs scattered on his smooth and delicate forehead. He was wearing an exquisite white suit, which made him look as noble as a prince, so handsome that people could not take their eyes away.
My intuition tells me that we are going to a very important banquet!
The car stopped in front of a luxurious hotel. It was a European-style hotel with gilded glass windows, Victorian-style reliefs, and two exquisite pillars in front of the door that towered into the sky.
Strangely, a group of black-clad bodyguards stood at the entrance of the hotel, expressionless and guarding the entrance closely. They were exactly the same as Yi Youxi's bodyguards. Under the surveillance of the black-clad bodyguards, no guest dared to approach the hotel.
Ha! Who has the same hobby as Yi Youxi? I was grinning to myself, but I saw Yi Youxi had already gotten out of the car, so I quickly followed him. As soon as I stepped out of the car, I saw the manager personally running out of the hotel to greet me.
"Your Highness Yi Youxi, please!" The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead with a white handkerchief and extended his hand to invite us to go inside.
Yi Youxi didn't even look at him and took me inside.
The manager took us to the luxurious box upstairs, stood outside the door, bowed his body and said respectfully: "Her Majesty the Queen is waiting inside!"
Queen? The people on this island are really strange, either they are His Royal Highness or the Queen, have they watched too many movies? I laughed secretly.
"Yeah." Yi Youxi replied calmly and pushed the door open. I hurriedly followed him, but this time, Ford did not follow us, and stood guard outside the door with the bodyguards and the manager.
It was a very exquisite and luxurious box. The ceiling and wainscoting were gilded, and silk curtains with golden tassels hung in front of the tall windows, swaying gently in the breeze. A gorgeous crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, shining brightly in the sun. The floor was covered with a thick brocade carpet, which was soft to step on.
In the center stands a huge rectangular table with delicate grape relief carvings on it, which looks low-key yet gorgeous.
At this time, an elegant and beautiful woman . She looked a bit like Yi Youxi. She was wearing an exquisite red dress and had a meticulous makeup on her face. What was different from ordinary rich ladies was that she exuded an imperial aura that made people dare not look directly at her!
The room was very quiet, so quiet that it was a bit depressing and almost suffocating. The domineering aura emanating from that woman filled the entire room, making people feel uneasy.
I didn’t know why Yi Youxi brought me here. I didn’t dare to say anything and stood beside him with my mouth tightly shut.
"Mother." Yi Youxi walked forward and bowed respectfully to the woman.
Mother! This powerful woman turned out to be Yi Youxi's mother? I opened my mouth wide, and quickly reacted. I walked forward and bowed like Yi Youxi, and called out politely, "Auntie!"
"Well, sit down." The woman smiled, but her smile was cold and heartless. It seemed to be just a polite gesture without any other meaning.
I bit my lower lip and dared not say anything more, and quickly sat down with Yi Youxi next to her. I don't know why, but under her gaze, I felt like I was being dissected to the core, and no detail could escape her sharp eyes.
"Youxi, are you unwilling to get engaged just because of her?" Mother Yi glanced at me indifferently, her eyes fell on Yi Youxi's face, and asked calmly.
What did Yi's mother mean by "not willing to get engaged for her"? I sat aside, totally confused.
"Yes." Yi Youxi answered simply and clearly, without any expression on his face.
"Youxi, people of the royal family of Walrich should not have too many personal feelings, you know?" Mother Yi looked at him seriously, with a sharp tone in her words.
"I know, but I can't do it." Yi Youxi still gave a simple and clear answer, his face calm. I don't know why, but I saw a hint of melancholy in his blue-purple pupils, as deep as the sea.
"Why don't you marry a princess from Trevisi? Do you want to marry this commoner girl?" Mother Yi was angry and asked in a stern voice with a stern face.
The princess of Trevis? Did I hear her right ? Wow! She is a princess! Is it true? A princess wants to marry Yi Youxi, and he is not happy? If it were me, I would have agreed to it eagerly! She is a princess of a country!
"Yes, I love her!" Yi Youxi suddenly reached out his hand and held mine tightly, looking at Mother Yi firmly.
Huh? I opened my mouth wide. Did I hear correctly? He said he loved me? This was more difficult for me to believe than telling me that crabs can laugh.
"Ah..." Mother Yi sighed, a trace of fatigue showing on her beautiful face. "It seems that you are very determined. I will ask your father for his opinion, but I don't think he will agree."
"Thank you, Mom." Yi Youxi lowered his head, and a trace of guilt finally appeared on his face.
We sat together for lunch and no one said a word. The atmosphere was so depressing that I swear it was the most uncomfortable meal I have ever had!
After dinner, after saying goodbye to Yi’s mother, Yi Youxi took me out of the hotel.
The car was driving smoothly on the road. The palm trees on both sides cast mottled shadows, passing through the car window, dazzling the eyes.
"Yi Youxi, why don't you want to marry the princess of Trevis?" I turned my head and looked at Yi Youxi curiously.
"I don't like her." Yi Youxi turned his head away and looked out the window. Under the light and shadow, his hair flowed with a dazzling golden luster.
"So you took me to meet your mother and lied to her that you liked me?" During dinner time, I finally figured it out.
It turned out that this was why Yi Youxi asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend in exchange for helping me with the accompaniment. This guy didn't even tell me beforehand, what if I accidentally got caught?
"Yes." He turned his head and looked at me sharply with his blue-purple eyes. "So, during this period of time, you just pretend to be my girlfriend until the engagement is cancelled."
"Oh." I replied unhappily. Humph! You can't be nicer when asking for help from others. If I didn't need your help, no one would help you with your attitude!
