Chapter 158: What about an exchange?
She saw that the door was left unlocked.
Li Xueqing did not think much as she walked in.
But when she entered, she saw the box that Li Beinian had held so tightly just now. It lay right on the table.
Meanwhile, Li Beinian was nowhere to be seen.
Li Xueqing walked up curiously and noticed that the exterior of the box was rather exquisite, while the logo was also pretty eye-catching.
This was a luxury brand for customized goods, it was expensive!
Li Xueqing felt something tighten in her chest. She wouldn’t take it lying down.
The clothes were so expensive, even her mother couldn’t bear to buy it for her!
How could Li Beinian ask for something like this?
She opened the box and saw a baby blue clothing lying inside.
It dazzled wonderfully under the light!
Li Xueqing gasped in awe and picked the dress up.
As it unfolded, she saw what it looked like in full view.
The dress was asymmetrical, longer on the left and shorter on the right. Shimmering gems were sewn onto it, and the design was extremely beautiful.
A purely handmade item and the workmanship was amazing.
It was of top quality material too. Such textures could only be found hidden in the depths of Fang Zhili’s closet!
The price was... shocking!
Li Xueqing had never seen such a beautiful and extravagant dress.
She ran her fingers on it, refusing to put it back in the box.
But upon looking at it again, she noticed that the dress was actually very short.
And the dimensions around the chest and waist did not seem to be that of Li Beinian’s.
Li Beinian was very slim, and her chest and waist circumferences were very small.
This dress was obviously too big for her.
Li Xueqing put the dress against herself and looked into the mirror. To her surprise, she found that it was a rather good fit for her.
“What are you doing?” Li Beinian appeared from the washroom and sounded a little wary.
Li Xueqing hurriedly put the dress down and feigned nonchalance. “I’m just taking a look at your clothes, need you to react like this?”
Li Beinian quickly examined her dress. “This is very expensive, don’t dirty it!”
Li Xueqing eyed her condescendingly. “I have better quality clothes than this, yours is nothing!”
Li Beinian patted the dress gently before putting it against herself to check its fit.
That was when Li Xueqing realized that she’d guessed right previously—the dress was a little big for her around the waist and the chest. She frowned and asked, “Is this yours?”
Li Beinian glanced at her. “Someone else ordered it. It’s a little too big for me, but it’s so pretty. I guess it’d still look beautiful when I wear it tomorrow.”
Upon hearing that, Li Xueqing wavered.
Her gaze danced about the dress, unwilling to turn away. “This dress is strapless, what if it slips? It’d be bad if you go nude.”
Li Beinian frowned.
Li Xueqing saw a glimmer of hope and went on, “This dress is so beautiful, everyone will definitely have their eyes on you. If it really slips, many people would be looking. You’d better not embarrass the Li Family or the Mu Family. If they decide to call off the engagement, you’ll be doomed!”
“That won’t happen, stop scaring me.” Li Beinian appeared to be in love with the dress. “I’m wearing this dress no matter what. Anyway, it’s too late to alter it.”
“That won’t do... My mom has prepared a beautiful gown for you, let me show it to you. I have two really pretty ones too. How about we do a swap?”
Li Beinian grinned on the inside.
But on the surface, she feigned a look of shock and fury. “I knew you were up to something. You just have your eyes on my dress!”
