The next afternoon, before three o 'clock, Lin Jiayi stopped her work and had Xia Shangzhou send her to a nearby shopping mall.
She had a VIP card at the beauty salon in the shopping mall, so she would come here for a spa session whenever she was free. Most of the time, it was Xia Shangzhou who booked the rooms for her.
Today was no exception. While Xia Shangzhou was booking a room for her, Lin Jiayi was strolling around the shopping mall downstairs. After receiving Xia Shangzhou's call, Lin Jiayi grabbed the spoils of war she had just bought and headed upstairs.
After Lin Jiayi entered the beauty salon, Xia Shangzhou didn't wander too far away. Instead, he found an empty seat in the cafe on the fifth floor of the shopping mall and ordered a cup of black coffee. After which, he took out his laptop and began helping Lin Jiayi with her unfinished work in the company.
Xia Shangzhou set an alarm, and an hour and fifty minutes later, his alarm rang. He quickly saved the things he had just finished on his laptop before packing up his things. After calling for the waiter to pay the bill, he stood up and headed to the beauty salon downstairs.
He waited at the entrance for roughly ten minutes before Lin Jiayi walked out under the escort of the president of the beauty salon and her caregiver.
For an instant, Xia Shangzhou couldn't recognize the woman standing before him.
Her usual waist-length curly hair was straightened and hung softly at the back of her head. As she had to meet many clients every day, her face, which always had makeup on, was now devoid of any adornment. Her clean and fair skin was so tender that she didn't look like a thirty-year-old person at all. Instead, she was wearing a white lace shirt, a simple black skirt, and a pair of white flats. She looked youthful and beautiful. At first glance, she looked like an inexperienced university student who had just walked out of school.
In Xia Shangzhou's mind, Lin Jiayi was a flamboyant, wanton, seductive, and radiant woman. He had never seen her in such a simple and elegant manner before, as clean as a piece of white paper that hadn't been dyed in the world.
Xia Shangzhou was so stunned that he didn't even notice Lin Jiayi walking up to him.
"How is it? Do I look good? "Lin Jiayi asked as she spun around Xia Shangzhou gracefully.
Recovering from his daze, Xia Shangzhou's gaze lingered on her face for a few seconds longer before he nodded and replied, "You look good."
"Do you look good this way or usual?"
"Both …"
"I knew you'd say the same thing if I asked you … Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you. However, I'm sure Qin Ting will like my outfit … When he confessed to me, he told me that the first time he saw me was because I was wearing a white shirt and a black skirt. That was how he noticed me …"
Xia Shangzhou didn't say a word. With a smile on his face, he took the clothes from Lin Jiayi's hands and changed the topic, "Boss Lin, it's about time for us to set off. If we delay any longer, the traffic will surely get worse, and you might end up being late …"
Lin Jiayi nodded her head in agreement.
