Chapter 194: As You Wish, Dear Customer

The next morning.

"Mrs. An, do I look good... in this?"

Leslie sheepishly asked Mrs. An who helped her in getting ready. She would head to the Xu family’s ancestral home within minutes. Both of them were inside the en-suite wardrobe of the former’s bedroom.

Instead of her usual cotton nightgowns or casual clothes, Leslie picked a light yellow chiffon ankle-length dress. Tiny colorful flowers scattered all over the fabric. She wore a pastel pink long-sleeve cardigan over the dress.

"You look perfect, Mrs. Xu," clapping her hands once, Mrs. An smilingly praised Leslie’s appearance, "Your grandmother-in-law will surely be happy to see you this morning."

"Hehe, I hope she will..."

Leslie was actually incredibly nervous on the inside despite being able to sleep as properly as usual. She wondered what Old Madam Xu would say to her the first time they met soon.

The matriarch of the Xu family was a benevolent woman who possessed a heart for justice. Through the few times when Leslie saw Old Madam Xu before, she was certain that the old lady would welcome her well.

Yet, Leslie’s anxiousness refused to subside. Calix teasingly pointed it out when they had breakfast together just now.

"Mrs. Xu, do you want me to braid your hair?" asked Mrs. An while picking up the hairbrush, wanting to distract Leslie from her troubled heart, "A hair bun will look nice on you too."

"Oh... about that..."

Mrs. An’s words pulled Leslie out of her trance. Her eyes regained their clarity as she looked at her own reflection in the mirror. The private nurse was ready to style her long hair according to her wish.

Before Leslie could answer Mrs. An properly, her eyes caught something else in the mirror. A tall man in a light-colored jacket appeared at the open door of the wardrobe.

"Leave it to me, Mrs. An. I’ll style my wife’s hair," said Calix as he walked deeper into the wardrobe.

"...Calix."

Leslie slightly turned her head before looking up at the man who was now standing by her wheelchair. With a smile tugging on his lips, he arched his brows at her.

No one noticed the cheerful and casual facade Calix wore this morning.

"Which style do you want today?"

Mrs. An quickly handed the task to Calix before stepping out, leaving the spouses alone. She would follow Leslie and Calix to the ancestral home just in case they needed her assistance.

Humming, Leslie pondered for a moment. Calix had started sprinkling her hair with hair serum spray, followed by brushing her luscious locks alternatively.

"I think... half bun hairstyle will do... No need for something... complicated..."

Raising his brows, Calix nodded once. The hairstyle was indeed a simple one. He could finish it in mere minutes.

"As you wish, dear customer."

A chuckle escaped Leslie’s lips. Mrs. An applied a thin layer of lip balm there, making sure her lips stayed hydrated.

While enjoying CEO Xu’s hairstyling service, Leslie quietly took in his appearance through the full-length mirror.

Calix opted for a blush-colored jacket, worn over a round-neck black T-shirt and paired with cream-colored long pants. Instead of styling his bangs into slicked-back, he chose a side-swept style for today.

CEO Xu was known for his charming looks and a body that could easily rival the top actors and models. His outfit’s color schemes today were so pleasing to the eyes.

"Your color choices... I like them..."

Those words slipped out of Leslie’s mouth before she could hold them back in. Blinking, she smiled awkwardly at Calix whose attention was piqued by what she had just said.

"Is it my pink jacket?" Calix arched his brows, locking eyes with Leslie in the mirror, "You surely love anything in pink, en?"

"Hehe... that’s part of the reason..."

Chuckling, Calix focused back on styling Leslie’s hair. He neatly arranged the bun to sit in the middle while letting the rest cascade behind her back. Gently holding a lock of her hair, he combed through the end.

"Ah... Calix... help me please..."

Leslie was suddenly reminded of something. Her gaze moved from the mirror to the vanity table next to it, landing on the topmost drawer.

"What is it?" Calix straightened his body once he was done. His eyes traveled to where Leslie was looking, "Want me to get you something?"

"The hairband you made... for me..." Leslie gestured at the drawer, her lips smiling, "I want to wear it..."

Calix perked up, happy to hear that. Grinning, he quickly did as he was told, "Do you keep it here? Ah, there is it."

Leslie properly stored the hairband crocheted by Calix during the times she didn’t wear it. She treasured the first handmade gift she received from home, thinking of how precious it was.

"...there. Fit your outfit perfectly, Mrs. Xu."

Winking, Calix smoothly praised Leslie, earning a chuckle from her. He placed both palms on the sides of her head, smoothening her hair down to the base of her neck.

"Hehe... thank you... Well, time to meet your grandmother now... We don’t want to run... late..."

"Yes. She’s waiting for us already."

Calix contacted Old Madam Xu early in the morning, telling her that he would be visiting before noon. To avoid sending his grandmother fainting out of shock, he openly told her that he would come with Leslie.

"Why are you bringing your wife? Is it okay to move her around?"

Old Madam Xu was concerned about her new granddaughter-in-law’s well-being. She was not sure why Calix wanted to bring Leslie when visiting her.

"My wife wants to see you, Grandma. Well, she’s awake now."

"WHAT?!"

Old Madam Xu’s shout pierced into Calix’s ears, prompting him to move the phone away. He ended up listening to so many questions from his baffled grandmother.

Calix explained that he and Leslie kept her health a secret for the time being. They waited until she was well enough to meet other people.

Old Madam Xu accepted Calix’s explanation. She promised to keep it to herself and order everyone in the ancestral home not to say anything.

"We’ll settle this once you get here, understand?"

Smiling faintly, Calix shuddered at the thought of being smacked by his grandmother again.
