Chapter 37

“It’s a waste of natural beauty,” Jerry said disdainfully, raising his slender fingers and pulling at the loose casual clothes on Luan’s body.

“Hey, someone, take off her clothes,” he ordered, and several attendants quickly led Luan to the fitting room.

Shen Qing wanted to follow, but Jerry blocked the door, pushing his chest with his index finger. “Men, stop here,” he said, then looked at Shen Qing from head to toe.

“You’re fine with what you’re wearing. It’s classy enough. You don’t need to change. Just get a haircut later,” Jerry said appreciatively.

Shen Qing usually wore suits as he was busy with work. Italian handmade custom suits were his preference. They were suitable for formal occasions, and he was not accustomed to wearing casual clothes.

Looking at the finger still on his chest, Shen Qing stepped back with a cold tone. “You don’t need to worry about me.”

Jerry pursed his lips and retracted his finger. “Fine, I’ll check on my darling,” he said, then swayed his hips and walked towards the fitting room.

Although Jerry had an English name, he was a pure Chinese. As a world-renowned stylist, he had a habit of designing everything from top to bottom, even the clothes he wore.

A few minutes later, Luan came out of the fitting room wearing a sky-blue strapless dress with a gradient of dark blue at the hem. Her pale skin complemented the color of the dress, making her look like a forest elf.

Jerry’s eyes widened in amazement. He knew he had found the perfect dress for Luan as soon as he saw her face.

“Perfect…” Jerry said, raising his slender fingers, but his smile froze on his face.

“What is this?” Jerry was furious. He hadn’t noticed before, but now he saw the various marks on Luan’s body and arms up close.

Luan blushed when she realized what the other person had seen.

“It’s ruined,” Jerry lamented. The pure elf was no longer pure.

Jerry felt as if his masterpiece had been shattered.

Jing Jing also walked in and asked, “What’s going on?”

All the imagination in his mind shattered. Jerry put his hands on his hips and spoke with a slightly sharp voice. “Knowing that you have to wear clothes, can’t you be more restrained?”

At these words, Shen Qing’s face darkened. With a cold gaze, he looked over, and Jerry immediately became timid.

Stammering, he complained, “With all the marks on her body from being bitten, how can she wear a dress?”

Shen Qing’s gaze lingered on Luan for a moment before he spoke in a deep voice, “Add a cloak to the dress.”

“No, you can’t,” Jerry insisted with his obsessive-compulsive disorder. He refused categorically. Every stitch in the dress he designed was just right, and adding anything else would be superfluous. He did not allow anyone to ruin his work.

“It seems you don’t want the sponsorship anymore,” Shen Qing threatened, his hands in his pockets.

“Ah, money is truly the root of all evil,” Jerry lamented, reluctantly compromising.

In the end, Luan had an extra layer of cloak on her shoulders. Its thickness was the same as a layer of gauze, capable of covering the marks on her body while preserving her skin tone.

Next was the hair.

Just as Jerry was about to start, there was a commotion at the door of the studio.

“I know Jerry is here today. Let him style my hair.”

“And why is the blue dress I picked out last time not here?”

“I’m sorry, miss. That dress is currently being worn by another lady. Also, our boss only styles one client per day, and today he already has a client scheduled,” the waiter patiently explained.

“You tell that lady that if she’s willing to give up Jerry and the dress to me, I’m willing to compensate her.”

Sitting in front of the mirror, Luan found the voice familiar but couldn’t recall it.

“Miss, honesty is important in business. You can make an appointment earlier next time,” the waiter replied calmly with his head down.

“Why are you so rigid? Do you know who I am?” The girl outside refused to back down.

“I’m surnamed Su, from the top ten Su family in A City. I’m going to a banquet tonight. If you delay my affairs, can you afford the consequences?” The girl outside was relentless.

After this reminder, Luan remembered. It was Su Yunwei, the young lady from the Su family she met last time at the old mansion.

Since the last observation, Luan knew that this Miss Su was not easy to deal with.

Just as she was about to remind Jerry, she suddenly felt a gust of wind beside her. Jerry had already swayed his hips and rushed out.

“I want to see who’s so…”

“Such audacity.”

The waitstaff who could work here were carefully chosen by him. He never wanted to say anything harsh.

Seeing Jerry come out, Su Yunwei’s attitude softened slightly, but she remained haughty.

The waiter briefly explained the situation.

Jerry was furious and couldn’t help but retort, “Miss Su, every profession has its rules. Even if you were the emperor’s daughter, you still have to follow the rules.”

“Doing business is all about making money, right? I’ll offer twice as much as that person inside. You must style my hair today.”

Su Yunwei was determined, but someone didn’t buy it.

Having been in the art world for a long time, Jerry despised such people the most.

He retorted, “Miss Su, I doubt you can even afford half of what the other person offered. You might as well take your pocket money and leave.”

“I style hair based on my mood. The person inside not only looks better than Miss Su, but her temperament is also incomparable. It’s rare for us stylists to encounter such a model, even if she doesn’t pay me, I will still style her hair today.”

Su Yunwei was confident in her looks and didn’t think there were many people in A City who looked better than her.

Thinking the other party was bluffing, she tried to force her way in.

But she was quickly stopped by the waiter.

Jerry was so angry he kept patting his chest.

Pointing at Su Yunwei, he cursed, “Miss Su’s behavior today is more like that of a parvenu, she doesn’t resemble a lady from a noble family at all.”

“Escort her out.”

Jerry felt it was beneath him to talk to someone like her for so long.

After driving Su Yunwei away, he regained his composure and went in to style Luan’s hair.

With the addition of the cloak, the dress’s design became a bit complex. To keep it from looking cumbersome, Jerry simply styled Luan’s hair into a simple flower bud bun.

Luan had naturally good bone structure and a petite frame, so the small flower bud bun looked perfect on her.

Her makeup was done before her hair, and once her hair was styled, the whole look was complete.

When Luan turned around to face Shen Qing, she noticed the amazement in his eyes.

It was the first time Luan had dressed up so grandly, and she felt a bit uncomfortable, so she tugged at her dress.

Then she felt herself enveloped in a warm embrace, as Shen Qing buried his head in her neck, breathing in her scent.

In a hoarse voice, he said, “Wanwan, you look so beautiful. I can’t even imagine how stunning you’d look in a wedding dress.”
