Lin Yibai was very fond of the qipao design but had never really had the chance to wear one, let alone buy one.
Noticing the subtle look in her eyes, Chen Wei immediately took her soft hand and walked over.
"Mr. Chen?" Lin Yibai didn't understand what Chen Wei wanted to do until she was led by him into the store selling qipaos.
"Pick one you like," Chen Wei said to Lin Yibai.
"Ah, I really can't, absolutely not!" Lin Yibai tried to refuse. Qipaos, as a niche fashion nowadays, were expensive even if they were not designer brands. As a maid, how could she casually ask her master to buy her a qipao?
"There's nothing wrong with that. Are you saying my word doesn't count?" Chen Wei suddenly displayed his domineering side.
Lin Yibai found herself unable to resist, her lips parted to speak, but she swallowed her words back down.
The envy of the saleswoman was beyond words, how she wished she could have such a commanding boyfriend.
Lin Yibai looked around and finally, her gaze settled on an apricot-colored lace qipao with a cape-style design in a traditional long cut.
Moving closer, she picked up the tag to check the price.
Fifty thousand!
Her eyes widened, and she promptly gave up, ready to choose something more affordable.
Meanwhile, Chen Wei directly handed his bank card to the saleswoman. "Swipe the card, that's the one we're getting."
"Eh! Mr. Chen!" Lin Yibai found she simply couldn't keep up with Chen Wei's pace.
"I've already bought it, go try it on. I'm looking forward to seeing how you look in it," Chen Wei said with a slight smile.
Once again, Lin Yibai lost the power to resist, nodded gently, took the qipao, and walked into the fitting room.
When she re-emerged, her style had completely transformed; her long hair was bundled up behind her head, and from head to toe, she exuded classical charm.
The curve of her waist and hips was perfectly accentuated, creating what could only be described as a devilish silhouette!
Her long legs were marvelously highlighted by the thoughtful slit in the dress, celebrating her beauty with abandon.
The lace design added just the right amount of charm to her allure...
"How, how does it look? Mr. Chen." Lin Yibai asked shyly, a bit embarrassed, like a blossoming lotus rising from the water, incomparably beautiful.
"Very beautiful. To say this qipao was tailor-made for you would be no exaggeration," Chen Wei spoke honestly, without a hint of flattery.
Such a classic beauty was rare in this world.
Yet here she was, serving as a maid beside him, it felt almost like a waste.
Chen Wei couldn't understand, how did Su Yumei manage to persuade Lin Yibai and her sister to do this?
Afterward, Lin Yibai wanted to change out of the qipao and keep it well-preserved, but Chen Wei stopped her, insisting she wear it back.
Just one sentence, "I want to see more of you in it," made Lin Yibai give up all thoughts of resistance.
All the way back, she earned plenty of looks. Many people took out their phones to take pictures and upload them online. The title of "once-in-a-century classic beauty" became a reality, and she was a hot topic all over the net.
Yet Lin Yibai had no interest in the entertainment industry at the moment. She only wanted to stay by Chen Wei's side and be a dedicated and responsible maid.
...
Negative first floor, the underground parking.
"This place is huge, Mr. Chen, do you remember where we parked our car?" Lin Yibai was slightly directionally challenged. After exiting the elevator, she was completely lost.
"If I remember correctly, it should be over there. Try the keys and see," Chen Wei raised his hand and pointed.
"Okay," Lin Yibai took out her car keys from her bag, pressed them, and indeed, the horn sounded and the headlights flashed.
After successfully finding the car, the two sat in and prepared to drive out of the underground parking lot.
However, just as they were about to reach the exit, who would have thought that they'd see a dozen or so people squatting there, each holding weapons like baseball bats and steel pipes—it was clear they were up to no good.
Seeing the car approaching, someone immediately snuffed out their cigarette and walked up, blocking the road.
Lin Yibai had no choice but to brake.
"What do you want?" Lin Yibai asked.
The man didn't react at first, captivated by Lin Yibai's beauty.
After a second or two, he suddenly snapped back to reality, noticing Chen Wei and then pulled out his phone to compare a photo, "Good kid, we've finally caught you!"
At that moment, a voice came from outside the exit, "Are they here?"
Chen Wei recognized the voice; it was Han Zhiming's.
Han Zhiming had just been thirsty and had gone out to buy water.
"President Han, it's this kid. How do you want to handle him?" Scarface asked.
"Just as we discussed before, break one of his arms and one of his legs, to let him know what happens when he dares to mess with me, Han Zhiming!" Han Zhiming said with a sly smile.
"Got it." Scarface's head turned towards Chen Wei's side, and suddenly his expression did a one-eighty as he scolded, "You little shit, what are you staring at! Get out of the car quickly, or do you want me to drag you out?"
"I'm in a hurry, so if you move now, maybe I can spare you," Chen Wei responded indifferently.
Han Zhiming and the others were taken aback; none of them had expected Chen Wei to be so brazen under these circumstances.
"Are you a fucking idiot or blind? Can't you see the group behind me?" Scarface asked.
"Trash is still trash, no matter how much there is of it," Chen Wei retorted.
"You, I see you're asking for it!" Scarface could no longer restrain himself, enraged by Chen Wei, and reached out to grab Chen Wei's neck to drag him out of the car and give him a severe beating.
But the next second, before anyone could react, a snap sounded from his arm, broken and twisted!
"Ah!" The sound of pain echoed through the underground parking lot, very loud.
Immediately after, Chen Wei pushed open the car door, knocking Scarface to the ground, tears streaming down his face.
"Brother Kun!" Seeing their boss beaten like that, the underlings couldn't just sit still, and they all swarmed forward.
At this point, Chen Wei also got out of the car, closed the door, and said to Lin Yibai, "Stay in the car, I'll handle this."
"Okay!" Lin Yibai didn't try to show off, knowing that getting out of the car would only cause more trouble for Chen Wei.
She thought to herself, her master was so powerful, he surely wouldn't be harmed.
These little thugs, the master would definitely be able to deal with them with just a few punches and kicks! Yes, definitely!
"Kneel down! Apologize to Brother Kun by kowtowing!" One of the underlings, eager to make a name for himself, went straight to Chen Wei's side, reached out to grab Chen Wei's head, and tried to push him down to the ground to make him kowtow to Wu Kun.
However, the next second, a sharp pain suddenly surged through his chest, and then he found himself uncontrollably flying through the air, slamming into a wall, breaking several ribs!
"Anyone else want to die?" Chen Wei asked.
A single man, but with the presence as if he commanded thousands of troops, suppressed the dozen or so people so much that they didn't dare utter another word.
The half-bottle of water in Han Zhiming's hand dropped to the ground; he hadn't expected before coming that Chen Wei was so skilled, so terrifying!
"You've come to trouble me time and again. I have not held it against you, thinking perhaps you believe I'm easy to bully?" Chen Wei took three steps to stand in front of Han Zhiming; his voice was light but each word struck to the core, scaring the man pale!
