Stealing Your Heart Chapter 187
Lin Xinyan was really surprised—not that he instructed his men to make this dress but managed to make it from tea silk.
Lin Xinyan put the dress in the box and asked, “I was wondering where you obtained such fabric from.”
“Do you like it?” Bai Yinning asked deliberately.
Actually, he purposely showed this fabric in front of Lin Xinyan, since every fashion designer loved quality fabric.
He believed Lin Xinyan was no exception.
Lin Xinyan was indeed interested in it, yet didn’t express herself and continued to rub her ankle.
Bai Yinning’s gaze slowly fell upon her, and he could see that she was fair-skinned, including her legs. Her ankles looked rather dainty, whereas her heels were pinkish-white. As the good-looking legs of women were called slim and delicate legs in ancient times, such a thought flashed through Bai Yinning’s mind.
Once Lin Xinyan felt that someone was staring at her pair of legs, she quickly pulled the quilt to cover her legs.
Bai Yinning slightly averted his gaze, yet he had made a real gaffe and looked rather embarrassed.
“I know the craftsman who can make such fabric…”
“Really?” Lin Xinyan opened her eyes widely and interrupted Bai Yinning before he could finish his words, “Where’s the craftsman? I would like to know him.”
Bai Yinning laughed. She is indeed interested in it.
“Put on the dress. After the event, I can introduce you to the craftsman.” Then, Bai Yinning pushed his wheelchair while gave his instruction to a person whom he brought along and said, “I’ll leave her to you.”
“You can rest assured.” The makeup artist who was holding a cosmetic case had already sized up Lin Xinyan. Since she was a good-looking woman, it’s very simple to apply makeup for her to look stunning, and the makeup artist already planned several versions of makeups in her mind.
Lin Xinyan wasn’t used to heavy makeup, and in fact she rarely applied any makeup on herself other than attending events. So, she said, “Actually, Liu can just help apply makeup for me. There’s no need to hire a makeup artist .”
Bai Yinning said smilingly, “It’s very important to me. I wish that my partner will be the most stunning woman in the hall.”
Lin Xinyan wished to tell him that he should actually get an artist instead if he’s looking for a good-looking woman. Even though she was rather unwilling to go with him, she had promised him in advance. Also, he would introduce the craftsman who can make tea silk to her.
She stood up from the bed and sat in front of the dressing table, waiting for the makeup artist to start.
“I don’t really like heavy makeup.” Even though she was determined to ‘hand herself over’ to the makeup artist , she was still afraid that she would be made like a ‘ghost’ by her.
The makeup artist wasn’t irritated by Lin Xinyan’s reminder and smilingly said, “Don’t worry. Not everyone looks good with heavy makeup. Heavy-makeup is good, yet it depends on the poise of that particular person.”
Since the makeup artist was rather easygoing, Lin Xinyan was much relieved.
“I’ve designed quite a lot of makeups, and some of them made deep impressions on others. But none of them triggered me to have so many thoughts in my mind when I met them.” She then looked at Lin Xinyan and said, “You’re the first one.”
Lin Xinyan wasn’t joyous because of her compliment but felt a little melancholy instead.
She missed her son and daughter.
She had never been separated with them for so long ever since she gave birth to them.
“I can see that you’re unhappy. Is it because of Mr. Bai’s legs…”
Lin Xinyan looked up.
“Even though Mr. Bai has to be in a wheelchair, he is handsome and very capable, and numerous women have always been dreaming of being noticed by him.”
“Indeed, indeed.” Liu interrupted the makeup artist before she could finish speaking, and added, “Too many women would dream of marrying him since young master is an outstanding man.”
Lin Xinyan looked up at her, and even the makeup artist could feel her feelings.
It was simply too obvious for everyone.
Liu realized suddenly that she was too emotional and immediately explained, “There was a time when the daughter of the county mayor was pursuing him relentlessly, yet young master rejected her too. Young master treats you very well now, yet I feel that you seem unhappy.”
Lin Xinyan didn’t want to explain to Liu anymore. Even though she knew that Liu was not black-hearted, she was too wide-eyed and would not believe her explanation.
She just felt that her young master was the best.
Perhaps in her mind, there would only be women who are out of his young master’s league, and definitely not the other way round.
