Chapter 151: A little imp out of nowhere
Li Lanni spent her days routinely attending the institute and working on her assignments. But fortunately, these days were not without any entertainment for her. Li Lanni amused herself as she watched Cheng Yu and Cedric bantering with each other. The young man seemed to be addicted to angering Cheng Yu. He would find all sorts of ways to rile her up, making her so furious that Cheng Yu had to scold him for hours before her anger could calm down.
Amid this drama, the next few days flashed by in a blink of an eye, and the day of the charity banquet finally arrived.
In the afternoon after their class ended, Li Lanni finally remembered something that had totally slipped her mind. She stopped Cheng Yu, who was about to go her way. "What’s your choice of dress for tonight?"
Cheng Yu rubbed her neck nervously. "I haven’t decided yet."
She did have a nice dress that could suit the occasion, but it was outdated and slightly worn out after undergoing several washes. She did not want to embarrass her best friend and her mentor even though she knew neither of them would mind whatever she wore. She was even considering borrowing a dress from Xia Luna.
But Li Lanni’s next sentence saved her the trouble. "I have a dress that I bought for you a few weeks ago, but I kept forgetting to give it to you. Maybe you could try it out?"
Cheng Yu felt embarrassed, but she knew that Li Lanni was not just finding an excuse to give her one of her own dresses. From her expression, she must have really bought it for her. "Then, I will not stand on ceremony."
Hence the girls made their way to Li’s villa.
Li Yuming was in her room, probably getting ready for the banquet, so Li Lanni did not bother her. She brought Cheng Yu into her room directly. "Here we go. I’ll show you the dress."
Cheng Yu was one part nervous and one part excited, making Li Lanni laugh at her. "Why are you so tensed up? It’s a dress I’m going to show you. Not an atomic bomb."
"Do I look tensed up to you?" Cheng Yu denied even though she was obviously on edge. She had seen Li Lanni’s walk-in closet the last time she spent the night here, and any random one of those dresses could cost a dime. She was just scared that whatever Li Lanni was going to show her was some exorbitant dress that might be more expensive than her life.
