Chapter 369: Playing dress up with mother in law

How far would you go to please the person most important in your lover’s life? That was the question going through Qie Xieling’s mind when he was staring at the skater skirt and blue wig with a hint of apprehension in his eyes.

"You want me to wear this?" he asked his brow arched. With a mischievous smile, she pointed at the other box and said, "Open it."

Qie Xieling’s eyes widened as he saw a pair of thick-heeled boots. "Uh... auntie. Though I have a pretty face I am a boy," he said recalling how his nana once paraded him at the tea party as her little granddaughter. The only good thing about it was that he heard juicy gossip at that event.

"So? Come on, no one will know," she said before she lowered her head and her voice brittle. "Lin Lin, I always wanted a little girl you know to play dress up with and sing with but... I got a son. Don’t get me wrong... I love my son but he is as stiff as an ironing board. He barely smiles and he is not fun," she said selling misery like her paycheck depended on it.

"I just want someone to dress up with as my favourite girl group. Just this once, please. I promise no one will know," she continued to say her eyes big and watery like a puppy. Who could refuse that?

Qie Xieling’s mind went into overdrive. He had never been one for dressing up, let alone putting on makeup. But he yearned to please Luo Shih especially when she would find out in the future what sort of intention he had for her son. After a moment of contemplation, he took a deep breath and nodded.

"Yay! So you are going to dress up as Leia and I will dress up as Crystal. You can change in there and I will help you with make-up," she said excitedly the tears that she was choking on earlier all gone.

Qie Xieling, "..."

Why did he feel like he had just been scammed?

"You are sure about this? I mean I have hairy legs... can’t I just wear pants?" he asked but Luo Shih was already urging him to go as the door to the other room opened.

For all the times he had been here he had no idea that there was another room in there. It wasn’t empty either. It had neatly organised shelves filled with clothes and shoes possibly belonging to Luo Shih before she was in her current state.

Qie Xieling glanced at her crown and his curiosity about Luo Shih’s story in this world intensified. From the stuff he found online, she was the king’s favourite concubine. When he found out she was having a son he would take her everywhere. He would rub on her belly affectionately even in public.

There were even rumours that she was to be crowned the new queen even though there had only been one queen in the history of the Zeden Coalition. After she died the king who inherited the throne after that never appointed one of their concubines as queen. But seeing how the current king loved Luo Shih people thought that Zeden would soon have a second queen.

But for years even if Luo Shih wanted that title, the king never gave it to her. She started looking visibly dissatisfied during her public appearances and one day she just vanished. The prince also disappeared at the same time and the king used some bogus excuse that he was on a desolate planet preparing himself to be the future King father of the Zeden coalition.

Well, Qie Xieling knew that wasn’t true. His man was busy tracking the stars as the most powerful pirate in the entire Coalition. Qie Xieling touched the fabric of her royal attire as his mind returned to the present.

He took out the clothes from the box and changed into it. When he put on the skirt he felt a cool breeze going in there and he shivered subconsciously. He quickly put on the top but it wasn’t as uncomfortable as the skirt. He even tried to pull it down a couple of times. It wasn’t too short but still.

"Lin Lin hurry hurry. I am too excited to see," yelled Luo Shih and Qie Xieling answered,

"Coming!" his cheeks burning from the embarrassment. He took a deep deep breath before exhaling and walking out.

Luo Shih’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she clapped her hands together. "Ahhh Lin Lin, put on the wig. Let me see it together," she said and Qie Xieling took the blue wig and slipped it on.

"Wah... perfect," she exclaimed before showing waving her hand and a mirror showed up.

When Qie Xieling looked at his reflection he almost died. It was weird looking at himself like this. The wig though took him by surprise because it looked like it was growing from his head.

"You look beautiful. You should put on some makeup and the look will be complete," she said as she stood behind him.

"Wait... I can’t put on make-up. I will look like a clown," he said trying his hardest to get out of it. Luo Shih wasn’t in her physical body so she couldn’t put it on for him either so he could easily get out of it but of course, he underestimated Luo Shih.

"Of course, I know that silly. It shows that you have never had a girlfriend otherwise you would know we don’t need to do it ourselves anymore," she said urging him to sit down.

Qie Xieling, "..."

She made him sit on the vanity that had appeared from god knows where. Mechanic appendages appeared out of the vanity and began putting on makeup on his face. As the colours blended and the brushstrokes swept across his features, Qie Xieling couldn’t help but marvel at this vanity that was amazing.

Was he regretting it now? Probably but the look of pure joy on Luo Shih’s face touched his heart. She was really happy about this.

With makeup on his face, he was transformed into a stunning beauty that could turn heads and get him marriage proposals.
