Chapter 465: Parma’s Number One Noble
Li Qiao followed the man to a table, where several brocade boxes of different sizes caught her eye.
Before she could take a closer look, the man’s husky voice already floated to her ears, "Have you ever worn a red dress before?"
Li Qiao probably didn’t know what kind of visual effect the long dress had on her.
Her already slender figure was accentuated, making her look tall and exquisite. The flowing hem of the dress and the wine-red color warmed her otherwise cool demeanor.
Li Qiao looked down, her tone slightly disdainful, "No."
She didn’t quite like such flashy and bright colors.
Then, the man wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned down, his voice hoarse as he spoke, "Well, don’t wear it again."
Li Qiao raised her eyebrows in surprise and took another look at herself, "Is it not pretty?"
The long dress was chosen for her by Duan Shuyuan, with a layered collar design reminiscent of a cheongsam and a classic charm. She just didn’t like the color, but she couldn’t deny the dress itself was exquisite and noble.
Li Qiao didn’t see the fervent light in the man’s eyes. She tugged at the smooth fabric of the dress, frowning slightly with a hint of moodiness.
Her thoughts ebbed and flowed, and as the man’s handsome face loomed closer, the crisp scent of ebony wood also lingered around her nose. He rolled his Adam’s apple, whispering, "It’s too pretty."
