Love You Till the End-Chapter 785 - 783: The Birthday Banquet Continues (2)

The lights had unknowingly brightened, and the guests, unperturbed, picked up their glasses, toasting and chatting in the luxuriantly lit hall.

When Shen Cheng and Shi Keke entered, everyone was happily engaged in conversation, paying no attention to them—yet they didn’t escape Shi Yu’s notice.

His gaze swept over the casually dressed woman, then suddenly plummeted to an icy low...

In his profound eyes, there seemed to burst forth streaks of cold light, the penetrating chilliness as if capable of freezing everything around him solid.

This dangerous aura seemed to spread to the surroundings, causing the people nearby to feel an intense drop in atmospheric pressure.

So, a trip out to buy something turned into a change of outfit. How nice.

After finishing the last sip of red wine in his glass, Shi Yu placed the glass down and strode towards the entrance of the hall.

Just as Shen Cheng was about to pick up a glass of alcohol from a waiter’s tray passing by, her hand was suddenly seized, and she was pulled out of the hall.

Shi Keke glanced back at the two, seemingly accustomed to their public displays of affection. She didn’t mind, lifting a glass of alcohol to drink. However, as she was about to bring the glass to her lips, a large hand reached out from the side, seizing the glass in her hand.

"What’s with your gown?"

Shi Mei had been paying attention to Shi Keke from the moment she entered. Aside from this morning, it had been several years since he had seen her wear a gown. He had to say, a change of outfit made her look like a different person.

Shi Keke pried his hand off and then answered his question, "My gown got dirty, and it was a bit see-through, so I exchanged with my sister-in-law."

In truth, Shi Keke had not intended to change her gown while in the restroom because she was used to being unrestrained; a bit of dirt or sheerness didn’t matter. Moreover, today’s event was at the old man’s castle. Those who would gossip surely had to show some respect for the old man, right?

But Shen Cheng wouldn’t have it. She said that Shi Keke’s gown was in its state because of her, and although she herself was now married and Shi Keke wasn’t even dating, wearing a dirty and sheer gown at such an event, despite the absence of outright scandalous comments, would still leave a poor impression on others.

So, in the end, the two exchanged gowns. Because their figures and heights were quite similar, the dresses fit perfectly. That morning, when Shen Cheng went to the stylist’s studio, she had specifically asked them to add a matching tube top to the gown for precaution, so in case of an emergency, no exposure would occur.

Unexpectedly, that precaution became necessary. Shi Keke’s gown, now worn by Shen Cheng, was somewhat sheer, but one could only see the tube top underneath. Key areas like the waist and chest were well-enclosed.

After exchanging gowns, the two exuded completely different charms—Shi Keke was alluring and beautiful, while Shen Cheng was elegantly stunning. If they had been more ostentatious, they would undoubtedly outshine all the women there, making the others feel inferior.

"Your gown was dirty and sheer, so wearing it on her doesn’t make it dirty and sheer?" Shi Mei’s voice was deep and resonant. He had just reprimanded her and then began to scold, "Do you know who is attending today’s birthday banquet? Business elites, political celebrities, and plenty of playboys. Wearing that, aren’t you afraid of drawing unwanted attention?"

Shi Keke couldn’t be bothered to explain to him whether the gown was sheer on Shen Cheng’s body or not. She only responded to his last remark, "When I arrived you found my outfit too casual, now you think it’s too formal. Do you want me to strip naked to satisfy you, brother?"
