Chapter 269 - 273: Banquet (7)
Ling Yinuo glanced at Yu Zexiao, then at Jian Anning. Although Xingxing still maintained a superior demeanor, in the past, even if he found fault, he absolutely would not have brought a woman with him for a makeover—to avoid embarrassing himself, no less!
She feared that Xingxing had already taken a very deep interest in her; he just didn’t realize it yet.
She smiled and said, "Alright then, Miss Jian, please come with me. Xingxing, since you’re the male guest, you go over there."
Jian Anning also knew that under Yu Zexiao’s authority, she had no room to maneuver. She could only nod her head and follow Ling Yinuo inside.
The whole building was designed in a circular shape, with the exterior being a curved arc, enclosing an interior that was a small square. It was like the ancient philosophy of "heaven is round, earth is square." Although the furnishings in the house were not extravagantly luxurious, every material and design detail was meticulously crafted, even the wall paintings, which she had won at high prices from Christie’s.
Ling Yinuo kept her eyes on Jian Anning, who responded with extreme nonchalance, her gaze never wandering; she did not have that raw feeling of someone first entering a high-end place. Ling Yinuo first took her to the spa room, where a professional beautician had already handed her a set of clothes: "These are for changing. Don’t worry, the clothes here are absolutely clean; even Xingxing, who is so picky, wouldn’t find fault."
Jian Anning took the clothes and smiled: "Thank you."
Soon, she entered the spa room, and Ling Yinuo immediately signaled to someone: "Go keep an eye on her. See if that woman is the shallow type."
