Chapter 644: Chapter 634 Help Out

It’s just that her right hand was stiff and cold, rendering it powerless for the time being, which was indeed a bit troublesome.

Jiang Lingxi guessed that Lu Zhengzheng and the others were probably already asleep, and it wasn’t good to wake them up now.

"Give me a hand."

Shen Yunqing looked at the slightly coquettish face in front of him, and he couldn’t maintain his last bit of seriousness anymore; he was thoroughly defeated.

With an extra pair of hands helping out, the cumbersome couture dress was finally taken off and hung to the side.

Shen Yunqing then took out a makeup kit, opened it, and looked at the bottles, jars, and all sorts of strange little tools inside, "How do I use this?"

Jiang Lingxi, wrapped in a bathrobe, sat on a stool and pointed, "That small white jar, open it, scoop out a pea-sized amount, melt it in your palm, rub it on your face and the makeup will come off. Then give me a washcloth."

Shen Yunqing pressed his lips together and began to follow her instructions.

Finally, after removing all the makeup, it was time to brush teeth, wash face, take a bath, and wash hair.

These tasks could be done with one hand but were still a bit troublesome.

Jiang Lingxi opened the bathroom door and looked back at Shen Yunqing, who had no intention of following, "Come on, I’m not done with you yet."

Shen Yunqing: "..."

They got home around midnight, and when everything was finally tidied up and they climbed into bed, Jiang Lingxi looked at the time, "It’s already one o’clock? That was fast!"

She turned her head to see Shen Yunqing still holding his phone, standing by the bed without any intention of getting in, and immediately frowned, "Don’t tell me you still have work unfinished."

"I’m sending a message to Wu Jue, I’ll ask him to come check on your hand just in case. Also, Wu Hua showed up in the Aibosi family’s territory, need to tell him about that too."

"He should be resting by now, right?"

"No worries. He’ll get up to read my message."

After the message was sent and he received the reply of "Received," Shen Yunqing finally settled his mind, put down his phone, and turned off the lights to go to bed.

Jiang Lingxi was closing her eyes to induce sleep, when suddenly she felt her right hand being held, warmth transferred firmly into her palm, interrupting her thoughts, and she subconsciously looked at the pillow beside.

The room was in complete darkness, she could only vaguely see a smooth silhouette.

There was a voice in her ear, "Warmer now?"

"Mm."

"Go to sleep."

A dreamless night.

Though there were many who couldn’t sleep that night.

Zhou Lingyue called Sumen to her room right after getting home and locked the door, glaring coldly at him without moving.

If she hadn’t been worried about being abroad where it’s hard to find a makeup artist that satisfies her, she would’ve embarrassed Sumen in front of everyone on the way back, instead of having to speak behind closed doors now.

But after holding it in for so long, she was now on the brink of explosion.

"Don’t you have something to say to me?"

Sumen, sweated under Zhou Lingyue’s glare, was too guilty to wipe his forehead, he laughed dryly, "Sister Lingyue, what do you mean? How could I have anything to say?"

"I never realized you were this stubborn!" Zhou Lingyue ground her molars, pulling at the gown still on her, "An MR gown? You think just because there were no media at the dance today, you could fool me with a fake one?"

Sumen’s eyes went wide, "Fake, how could it be fake?"

Zhou Lingyue looked at his exaggerated expression, picked up the phone and showed him a photo she secretly took of Jiang Lingxi, shoving it towards him, "You really won’t cry until you see the coffin."

Sumen didn’t dare take the phone, he took one look and saw black.

Someone actually wore it to the welcome dance!

"Think again, don’t you have anything to say!"

"I’m sorry Sister Lingyue," the evidence was right there, Sumen decisively fell to his knees, "I hadn’t dared tell you, but I had some unpleasant dealings with MR recently. You took a liking to their gown, and with your mood lately, I didn’t dare persuade you to pick another. I couldn’t help but take a gamble."

"My bad mood? A gamble?"

Sumen kept his head down.

Wasn’t that the truth? Not only he, but other team members probably also noticed how unpredictable Zhou Lingyue had been lately.

These past two days everyone had been noticeably quieter.

Zhou Lingyue was so furious she was breathing heavily, she pointed towards the door, "Get out!"

Sumen quickly scrambled away.

Watching him scamper off like he’d escaped a great danger, Zhou Lingyue checked her phone again, seeing searches for ’Jiang Lingxi’ surge massively, and she stayed unsettled the whole night.

Gu Qiantong stayed overnight at the Aibosi family estate.

After the dance, Vini took Gu Qiantong back to her small villa. Before resting, she called in two caregivers for a foot massage.

After spending the evening in high heels and dancing, it was impossible for her feet not to ache.

As she was getting comfortably sleepy from the massage, she heard Gu Qiantong casually ask, "Vini, I saw you and Jiang Lingxi chatting happily at the dance, what did you talk about?"

Vini opened her eyes and looked at Gu Qiantong, half-lying on the massage bed next to her.

"Why are you curious now? You wouldn’t go with me to say hello back then."

"You must’ve noticed, there’s some friction between me and Jiang Lingxi."

Although Gu Qiantong said this with a smile, her tone held a peculiar edge.

Seeing her friend chatting happily with Jiang Lingxi had made her feel uncomfortable.

She believed that what she disliked, her friend should also dislike.

If she hadn’t just coaxed Vini, she would’ve directly told her, ’I don’t like Jiang Lingxi, you should dislike her too.’

Vini sensed the peculiarity in Gu Qiantong’s tone but merely smiled.

Even as long-time friends, there were limits to dictating each other’s likes and dislikes.

"I thought Miss Jiang seemed quite nice, she outright rejected that Kevina guy. Among the female guests at this event, few could be as straightforward."

Gu Qiantong couldn’t help but curl her lips, that’s because you don’t know there’s also Shen Yunqing. Without Shen Yunqing, Jiang Lingxi would be Kevina’s girlfriend.

But Vini wasn’t finished explaining, not noticing Gu Qiantong’s expression, she continued, "And after our brief chat, I found that Miss Jiang has broad knowledge, speaks directly but with tact, giving me a sense of someone superior, despite being younger. It’s intriguing."

Gu Qiantong patiently waited for her to finish before replying coolly, "Perhaps you don’t know, but her education is lacking, she hasn’t even gone to college."

"Really? I didn’t notice. But I’m also curious, you always like accomplished people, so why don’t you like her?"
