The two boxes contained two different types of nightgowns, one cute and one sexy.
But they were not vulgar, just a bit crafty in their design.
Sang Ran, worried that Lin Zhiyi couldn’t see clearly, took the initiative to take both nightgowns out and compare them in front of her.
Not content with comparing them herself, she also placed them on Lin Zhiyi for further comparison.
"Zhiyi, I’m so envious of you. You’re beautiful, and you have such a good figure. Everything looks good on you."
Lin Zhiyi choked on her words, stealthily adjusting her breathing before she could smile calmly.
She instinctively pushed the nightgown away, "You would look good in it too. It’s nice to keep it and exchange later."
"Which one should I wear first? I plan to wear it on the evening of the engagement party. Help me choose, the best would be something that will keep Third Young Master... unable to take his eyes off me."
Sang Ran was a bit shy, but the affection in her eyes was unmistakable.
Watching her openly lavish in her happiness, Lin Zhiyi felt as if pricked by a needle in her eyes, and she immediately lowered her gaze.
"Xiao Ran, you should ask someone else to help you choose. I can’t decide."
"Everyone in the Gong Family is so stern. Who else could I ask? You are a designer, you definitely have a good eye."
Sang Ran grabbed Lin Zhiyi’s hand and shook it, her eyes full of pleading.
Lin Zhiyi really couldn’t bear to refuse, so she pointed to the cute nightgown, "How about this one? It looks cute and a little bit sexy."
Sang Ran’s cheeks reddened, "I didn’t expect your uncle to like this style."
"I didn’t mean it like that," Lin Zhiyi explained awkwardly.
"I understand. I also think he will like it. I remember back in college, he bragged to people that I was quite cute."
Sang Ran blinked, the feeling of happiness making her whole face glow with a soft light.
In contrast, Lin Zhiyi’s face reflected in the glass was very pale, and even the sunlight on her face seemed white.
She unconsciously went along with Sang Ran’s laughter.
Anyway, it was their own couple’s little quirk, what she wore wasn’t important.
The important thing was the person wearing the nightgown.
Gong Chen liked Sang Ran.
At this moment, a servant knocked on the door.
"Miss Sang, your luggage has arrived. Do you need our help to organize it?"
"No need, I’ll do it myself. Just put it in the cloakroom."
Sang Ran waved to the servant.
The servant nodded respectfully and carefully moved the suitcases one by one into the cloakroom.
Lin Zhiyi stood by, watching Sang Ran open the top suitcase and hang her coat next to Gong Chen’s clothes.
When she opened the accessory cabinet, she was puzzled, "Huh? Why is this here?"
Lin Zhiyi came back to her senses and wanted to step forward out of curiosity, but she was stopped by the servant behind her.
"Miss Lin, please step aside a bit, Third Young Master said that Miss Sang’s belongings are very valuable and should not be bumped."
The implication was that she was in the way.
Hearing this, Sang Ran quickly said, "It’s not that valuable; it’s just some bags inside, and they won’t break if dropped. Zhiyi, don’t mind it."
Lin Zhiyi looked at the small bag slung diagonally across her, just big enough for a mobile phone.
Indeed, it was used as a phone case.
Just one cost two hundred thousand, and hers was even more expensive as both sides were inlaid with a gradient of crushed diamonds that spelled her initials.
Thinking this over, the bags in the suitcase really weren’t for Lin Zhiyi to touch.
She tactfully stepped back, "Xiao Ran, you go ahead. I’ll go back and help my mom. Call me if you need anything."
"Sure, thanks," Sang Ran waved.
Lin Zhiyi left the room.
Just then, Sang Ran pulled out a maroon scarf from the wardrobe.
Liu He sighed deeply.
Just then, a few servants approached.
"Second Madam, the engagement party favors have arrived and require your review for signature."
Liu He saw that Lin Zhiyi was idly staring at a page and directly pulled her up, "Come with me."
Lin Zhiyi did not refuse.
In the hall, Liu He opened one of the boxes for inspection.
Lin Zhiyi glanced at it and was slightly surprised.
The gift boxes contained not only a full set of high-end skincare products but also specially customized designer bracelets for the engagement party.
Liu He whispered, "Just this bracelet alone costs over thirty thousand, plus skincare products and some fine chocolates, each favor costs around fifty thousand."
Lin Zhiyi looked at the two hundred favors in the hall, amounting to nearly ten million already.
And this was just for the engagement.
The delivery person handed over the checklist, "Second Madam, please review it. Everything is done according to Third Young Master’s instructions; we would not dare to be negligent."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi stiffened for a moment, her hands clenching tight.
Gong Chen was being cruel.
He was forcing her to comply while making her witness his and Sang Ran’s happiness.
Lin Zhiyi clenched her jaw tight, not wanting to reveal any weakness, but her body wavered slightly.
In the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a touch of red on a maid’s neck.
Lin Zhiyi ran over desperately and grabbed the scarf from the maid’s neck.
In an unassuming spot, she saw the stitch she had missed.
She had intended to re-knit it but then thought it would be nice to leave it as a unique mark.
Her voice trembled as she asked, "Where did you get this?"
The maid hurriedly explained, "It was thrown out from Third Young Master’s courtyard; they said anyone who liked it could take it."
