Although she was used to Ji Xinxin's sharp tongue, Ling Chuxia was momentarily stunned by her comment. She instinctively checked herself, but didn't notice anything wrong.
Her posture was poised, and she was composed and graceful, so how could she lack femininity? Why did she look like a man?
Ling Chuxia's eyes reflected a trace of confusion. She looked at Ji Xinxin and softly asked, "Xinxin, what's wrong with me?"
Ji Xinxin snorted, "You should ask, when have you ever been right?"
Ling Chuxia's confusion deepened. She examined herself once more, her hair meticulously styled into a high updo, her face lightly adorned with makeup. Wearing a well-fitting light-colored suit paired with low-cut high heels, she looked elegant and dignified. What was the problem?
Mrs. Shi believed that a woman's beauty lay in her poise. From a young age, Ling Chuxia had always paid close attention to her appearance and manners, fearful of Mrs. Shi's dissatisfaction and of shaming the Shi Family.
Ji Xinxin looked at Ling Chuxia's frowning, thoughtful face, feeling exhausted by her attempts to tease. "Forget it, even if I explained, you wouldn't understand. I have an event tonight. After tea, come with me to buy a dress."
Ling Chuxia nodded and gave a soft "mm."

After finishing their afternoon tea, Ji Xinxin and Ling Chuxia got into Ji Xinxin's red convertible and drove straight to Liang City's famous luxury mall.
The mall was very well-located, right in the city center of Liang City. From a distance, one could see the towering building and its gleaming sign.
Ji Xinxin drove into the underground parking garage. Since it was the weekend, nearly every parking spot was taken. She circled the garage several times before finally finding a spot.
With skilled precision, Ji Xinxin reversed the car, shifted into reverse gear, swiftly spun the wheel, and backed perfectly into the parking spot.
Ling Chuxia couldn't help but praise, "Xinxin, you're amazing~ You don't even need to look at the mirrors and can just reverse straight in."
"Of course, compared to you? You took several months to learn how to reverse and still couldn't get it right. Only that bastard Shi Che had the patience to teach you~ In this regard, he was somewhat decent. If it were me, I would have let you fend for yourself long ago!"
When Shi Che was mentioned, Ling Chuxia's eyes darkened slightly.
If Ji Xinxin hadn't brought him up, Ling Chuxia would almost have forgotten that there was a time Shi Che was actually good to her...
"Wow, this car is really cool~"
Ling Chuxia was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Ji Xinxin's exclamation. It jolted her back to reality, and she looked over at Ji Xinxin.
Ji Xinxin had already gotten out of the car and stood nearby, her eyes fixed on another car with admiration.
Ling Chuxia frowned slightly. Ji Xinxin had high standards; few things piqued her interest, let alone earned her admiration. Ling Chuxia quickly opened the door and got out of the car, walking towards Ji Xinxin.
What she saw was a black car. The body, appearing as if drenched in oil, glistened, and the silver phoenix emblem on the front was particularly eye-catching.
