Chapter 160: The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife
Chapter 160: The Big Shot Has Good Taste
Bai Lu met Xiao Cheng's eyes filled with anticipation, smiled, and pulled him up, saying, "You go out first."
"I need to change my clothes."
Xiao Cheng was pushed out of the door by a pair of soft hands, and the door closed. Faint footsteps could be heard as he turned back.
The corners of his lips curled slightly as he sat at the table, picked up a small teapot, and poured a cup of tea.
He leisurely savored it.
Bai Lu opened the bag and found two sets of clothes inside, one white and one sky blue.
Each set had a long skirt that reached the ankles, a matching outer coat, and a pair of shoes in the same color.
This guy probably didn't understand how to mix and match; his own clothes were all black sets, and he also bought her a complete set, from top to bottom, inside and out, all in a unified color scheme.
The materials were the same too, velvet long skirts and outer coats that were not found in the town, with excellent texture and style. Wearing them felt exceptionally soft and comfortable, without being cumbersome. The lines from the neckline to the skirt hem were smooth and well-defined, with a simple and elegant style reminiscent of minimalistic Hong Kong fashion, vintage and graceful.
The white ankle-length skirt had shades of the same color, resembling snowflakes falling on the skirt, adding a touch of elegant restraint to the snowy landscape.
The outer coat was a simple and generous style, and the white shoes were also suitable for this not-too-cold and not-too-hot season.
Every piece fit perfectly, not too loose or too tight, and the shoe size was just right.
I wonder how Xiao Cheng knew her size; she hadn't measured it before leaving.
As for the colors, she remembered. Once, when they went shopping for groceries together, on the way back, Xiao Cheng suddenly asked her what her favorite color was. She looked up and said she liked the blue sky.
When feeling down, looking up at the sky could dispel all worries; the blue sky and white clouds could bring warmth.
A clear sky, a vast blue sea, infinitely beautiful.
Bai Lu touched the new clothes on her body, feeling both joy and incredulity.
This high-quality velvet long skirt would cost at least fifty thousand in the future. In the current nineties, with a large influx of foreign capital into the domestic market and various industries facing price wars, including the clothing industry, her white velvet skirt would cost at least five or six thousand.
Compared to current prices, it was equivalent to fifty or sixty thousand.
Domestic textile, embroidery craftsmanship, and traditional costume craftsmanship were all excellent and well-known in the international fashion world.
Even in the future, a certain famous international fashion brand shamelessly stole and propagated the cultural heritage of the horse-faced skirt.
A famous brand born in a country known for fashion actually stole the creative culture of traditional Chinese clothing and shamelessly claimed it as their own, which was simply ridiculous.
Bai Lu looked at the domestic label on the clothes, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Xiao Cheng's taste was indeed excellent!
Xiao Cheng's excellent taste was currently focused on the door, his well-defined fingers caressing the teacup.
When the door opened, he suddenly stopped.
The usually calm and composed deep eyes lit up, and the girl in the light slowly walked towards him.
A woman's charm lies in pleasing herself.
Before Bai Lu's brain could react, her body had already spun around Xiao Cheng like Wang Cuihua.
Smiling, she asked him, "Is it beautiful?"
"Beautiful."
The big radish that Xiao Wei was holding fell.
This was the large white radish just brought back from the vegetable garden, ready to be pickled for sour radishes for Bai Lu. Accidentally letting go, it rolled to Xiao Cheng's feet.
Without time to pick up the big radish, she blurted out, "It looks much better than Wang Cuihua's floral dress."
Xiao Cheng had no intention of picking up the big radish on the ground. Hearing this, he raised an eyebrow, and with great compassion, he bent down to pick up the radish.
The radishes had just been placed on the table, and several surprised exclamations followed closely by the footsteps entering the courtyard.
"Wow~ Where did this little beauty come from? She's dazzling even Aunt Fang's eyes."
"Aunt Wu's eyes are also blinded~"
"I knew it. Bai Lu has always been a little beauty. Even coarse hemp clothes can't hide her otherworldly charm. Putting on a new dress makes her as beautiful as a celestial being."
"This is not comparable to the flashy Wang Cuihua. Our Bai Lu is a thousand times more beautiful than Wang Cuihua."
Wu Xiuyun and Fangli, who came to collect chestnuts every day, were already regular visitors at Bailu's home. They spoke more directly, and wherever Bai Lu was, Xiao Cheng was too kind to bother with them. His words were even more indifferent.
Say whatever compliments you want, speak as many truths as you know.
Yu Fugui, being a big man, definitely couldn't say such things. Even if he wanted to compliment, he wouldn't dare to do it in front of Xiao Cheng. He had seen Xiao Cheng's deadly gaze on Chen Dafu.
It's not easy to provoke a man who has spilled the vinegar jar, especially Xiao Cheng. He better just focus on moving chestnuts.
In her free time, Wu Xiuyun would praise Bailu, saying "beautiful" on the left and "pretty" on the right.
Of course, she didn't forget to praise Xiao Cheng's good taste. The fabric of the clothes he bought was precious and rare. She and Yu fugui had been to the town many times, and they had never seen such good velvet fabric in town. She praised Xiao Cheng for caring about his daughter-in-law, loving his wife.
They said Bai Lu married well, she married the right person.
Bai Lu blushed at these words.
Today, Wang Cuihua wanted more chestnuts from Bai Lu, so she brought a scale to weigh them. However, she forgot to take the chestnuts back to sell. When she returned, she heard Wu Fangli saying that Bai Lu's clothes were more beautiful, and Bai Lu was prettier than her.
Not happy, she rushed into the main house.
"Who's prettier than me? Who can be prettier than me?"
"I'm wearing new clothes today, with rouge and lipstick. How could Bai Lu be prettier than me!"
"Big Brother Xiao Cheng even acknowledged that I'm pretty!"
The title of the town's beauty was about to be taken away. Wang Cuihua, disregarding her image as a little white flower, went into the main house and pulled Wu Xiuyun and Fangli, who were surrounding Bai Lu, away.
She stood next to Bai Lu for comparison.
At that moment, everything froze.
Bai Lu, how did she become so beautiful!
Wang Cuihua refused to admit that her eyes were blinded, but her eyes were a bit blurry, just a bit white.
Bai Lu's temperament was already different from ordinary people. Previously, wearing coarse hemp clothes, she could still conceal it. Now, with the well-fitting new clothes, the inherent elegance and nobility inside her could no longer be hidden.
She didn't even need to speak. Standing there silently with a smile on her face was enough to make everything fall for her. Women would be moved, and their hearts would race just by seeing her.
Not to mention Xiao Cheng, who had been staring at Bai Lu without turning his eyes away. His inner turmoil was definitely not less than anyone else.
Wang Cuihua was so shocked that she couldn't say anything. Bai Lu's clothes were really more beautiful than hers.
Bai Lu... was also prettier than her.
Bai Lu seemed like a princess high above, unbelievably beautiful and not at all vulgar.
Standing next to Bai Lu, she was overshadowed, almost invisible.
Wang Cuihua felt especially sad, especially miserable. Her mind turned into a mess, and she turned to look at Xiao Cheng.
Unwillingly, she asked, "Big Brother Xiao Cheng, do you also think Bai Lu looks good?"
