Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Roadblock Dog

Yu Xia also followed Lin Mengyao’s gaze to look at herself in the mirror. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes as gentle as autumn waters, her nose was straight with a slightly fleshy feel, and her mouth was a pretty rhomboid shape, but looked somewhat pale making her seem as if she lacked vitality.

The sleeveless white dress exposed her slender arms and delicate calves. The waist was cut out, making it appear especially thin, but the dress seemed a bit large on her, the waist area was loose making her look extremely slender, as if a gust of wind could blow her away, which only made her look even more beautiful.

"Isn’t it beautiful?" Lin Mengyao tidied Yu Xia’s hair with a loving gaze, and asked softly.

"Is the person in there really me?" Yu Xia asked dazedly, even reaching out to touch the woman in the mirror.

The saying "clothes make the man" proved true here. Although Yu Xia was not unattractive, in her previous clothes, she could only be described as decent and delicate. But now, instead of simply looking pure and delicate, she appeared frail like a beautiful, sickly maiden. One frown, and you’d feel compelled to pour your heart out to comfort her.

"Of course it’s you, who else could it be?" Lin Mengyao retorted.

Xu Ke softly instructed the store assistant, "Get this dress one size smaller and check out first."

Xu Ke handed the card from his pocket to the store assistant, watching them swiftly wrap and process the payment. After a knowing look exchanged with Lin Mengyao, Lin Mengyao spoke again, "Since we’re out today, let’s try some other ones. I want to gift you a dress that looks even better on you, we need to compare."

Finishing her words, Lin Mengyao took out a light blue ruffle dress, not giving Yu Xia a chance to refuse, and pushed her into the fitting room.

Having the experience from the first time, Yu Xia didn’t make Lin Mengyao wait long. This ruffle dress looked just as pretty on her. Lin Mengyao praised her as usual before sending her back into the fitting room.

At this point, Yu Xia didn’t know that Xu Ke had already paid for all the outfits she tried on earlier, nor that Lin Mengyao was treating her like a doll, indulging in the joy of dressing her up, wishing she could have her try and pack the entire store’s clothing.

In the end, Lin Mengyao chose the initial sleeveless white dress for Yu Xia to change into again, "Alright, this one looks the best, we’ll just buy this." Lin Mengyao said, holding Yu Xia’s hand.

If Yu Xia was excited when she first put on the new dress, that excitement vanished after trying on so many dresses, leaving her feeling worn out. Hearing that a decision had been made, she subconsciously felt a sense of relief.

"We’ve bought the dress, but we haven’t gotten shoes yet. Let’s go buy shoes." Seeing Yu Xia’s ensemble, Lin Mengyao found the shoes on Yu Xia’s feet unsightly, and called a store assistant to provide a matching pair, which improved the look considerably.

"These shoes aren’t that great, let’s buy another pair, these aren’t pretty." Lin Mengyao said, touching her chin.

"I’m a bit thirsty, let’s go have something to drink." Hearing Lin Mengyao still wanting to shop, Yu Xia was startled, quickly speaking up.

"That can wait, we’ll drink something later, let’s buy the shoes first." Lin Mengyao waved her hand dismissively.

"Why don’t you choose first, I’ll get you something to drink and find you later," Yu Xia said, seeing Lin Mengyao still intending to buy her something. She then dashed off like a little rabbit, leaving Lin Mengyao and Xu Ke dumbfounded.

"Run slower, be careful not to trip." Lin Mengyao reminded as she saw Yu Xia running fast.

Yu Xia, running ahead, didn’t respond as she disappeared around a corner, an endearing sight in her escape, "She’s so adorable. Do you think I should make her my sister?" Lin Mengyao asked, holding Xu Ke’s arm.

"Sure, as long as you like her, I have no objection. She is indeed a likable girl." Xu Ke had no objection to Lin Mengyao’s idea.

Back to Yu Xia, rounding a corner and seeing Lin Mengyao hadn’t followed, she heaved a sigh of relief and slowly made her way to a milk tea shop, still uneasy about Lin Mengyao buying her things.

Yu Xia wanted to refuse Lin Mengyao’s spending on her, but not knowing how to voice her refusal, when a shadow loomed over her, causing her to stop, forced to look up.

"Could you please move aside?" Yu Xia asked softly, the path was wide yet the people in front always blocked her way, making her a bit nervous, internally blaming herself for running so fast.

"I won’t move, what will you do about it? I think you’re quite pretty, do you have a boyfriend? If not, that’s even better. Come with me, I like you, I can give you a card for five hundred thousand allowance each month, clothes and bags are separate. But if you have a boyfriend, that’s fine, just break up with him, I won’t mind, the offer still stands, consider it." The man fiddled with the sandalwood beads on his wrist, staring intently at Yu Xia.

"I won’t be with you, just leave now, my sister will come looking for me soon." Yu Xia nervously fidgeted with her fingers, mustering the courage to speak, internally chiding herself for making up relatives, and silently apologizing to Lin Mengyao.

"Your sister will come too? That’s perfect, I have money, not short of spare cash. If your sister looks good, I could maybe take her as well, treating you both like royal concubines, but rest assured, even if I did take your sister, you’d be my favorite. I love girls like you, small and delicate, feels like I could break you with a little effort, just thinking about it excites me greatly."

The man gazed at Yu Xia with an obsessive and disgusting look, closing the gap between them like a beast encroaching on her territory. noveldrama

"My sister isn’t someone you can covet, don’t come any closer, or I’ll call the police." Yu Xia suddenly gripped the hem of her dress, gathering her courage to glare at the man and speak.

Unfortunately, her reddened eyes and trembling voice didn’t scare him, rather it intensified the predatory glint in his eyes, staring at her bluntly as if ready to devour her whole.
