Chapter 834: Old Bai’s Birthday (5)
An Yiqing blinked playfully, a sly smile on her face, "Well, then why did I just feel the temperature drop?"
Gu Yelin’s gaze shifted subtly, his expression unchanging as he said, "You’re wearing too little. Put this shawl on." Without waiting for a response, he draped the translucent silk shawl in his hand over An Yiqing’s shoulders.
An Yiqing looked at Gu Yelin’s domineering action with a mix of laughter and helplessness in her heart. Today, she wore a strapless white dress that indeed revealed more skin than the ones she had worn before—at least, that’s what Gu Yelin thought. In truth, An Yiqing’s strapless dress wasn’t low-cut at all, not even exposing cleavage, but merely showcased her fair and round shoulders along with her delicate collarbones.
But Gu Yelin felt his treasure was wearing far too little.
However, it was now early summer and, no matter how jealous Gu Yelin was, he couldn’t possibly expect An Yiqing to wear a thick shawl and risk heatstroke, so after much consideration, he reluctantly chose a thin, breathable silk shawl that could cover the shoulders.
Yet, the always strategic Gu Yelin had miscalculated today.
An Yiqing’s previously exposed shoulders were indeed covered by the gauzy shawl, but the shawl itself was transparent, the hint of fair skin beneath creating a visual impact and stirring desire.
Looking at that imaginatively tantalizing skin under the thin fabric, Gu Yelin suddenly felt an urge to tuck An Yiqing into his pocket and drive home.
"What are you thinking about? Let’s go, everyone is already here," An Yiqing said, waving her sales brochure in front of Gu Yelin and then pulling him toward the Bai Family Villa.
Gu Yelin had no choice but to follow with a cold face, trying to scare away all the envious gazes with daggers of his own.
At the entrance of the Bai Family Villa, the antique luxurious gate had already been opened, and led by Bai Yiming’s father and the direct descendants of the Bai family, as well as many friends of the Bai father and son including An Zhihang and An Zhiyan, all stood at the door with welcoming smiles, chit-chatting and greeting the guests with politeness.
