Chapter 102: Banquet

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Yuan Shu woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day. Shi Yi had been busy with work every day recently and was determined to help Yuan Shu. She was full of vigor every day and worked hard to design the best clothes in order to stabilize the company’s status in the fashion industry as soon as possible. She had been leaving home early and returning late these few days.

Shi Bin also stopped slacking off. Because of his interest in venture capital, he wasn’t so against working. He came to work on time every day and never left early. He even took the initiative to apply to work overtime on the weekends.

‘Gunshot’ had already finished filming, so Shi Lu didn’t have any filming for the time being. Shi Lu decided to give herself a break, so he was the only one at home.

When Yuan Shu went downstairs, Shi Lu was watching television. He was wearing earphones, probably for fear that the noise would disturb Yuan Shu’s rest.

Yuan Shu was very hungry. Yesterday, she was so busy that she didn’t eat for the entire afternoon. When she came back at night, she fell asleep because it was too late and she was too tired. Now that she got enough rest, she felt hungry.

She didn’t call Shi Lu. Shi Lu’s back was facing the stairs, so he didn’t know that Yuan Shu had already woken up. He was still focused on watching television.

Wu Yan guessed that Yuan Shu would be hungry when she woke up, so she had already prepared food and kept it warm. When Yuan Shu woke up, she could eat it directly.

The dishes were on the table. Yuan Shu sat down in front of the food and was about to eat when Shi Lu saw her.

Shi Lu used the remote control to pause the television drama, then walked to Yuan Shu’s side and sat down as he said, “Sister-in-law, when did you wake up? Why didn’t you call me?”

Yuan Shu picked up a piece of black truffle cake and put it in her mouth. The creamy taste delighted her. “You were watching television, so why should I disturb you?”

Shi Lu knew that she must be starving, so he let her finish her meal in peace before taking out an invitation and placing it in front of her. “Sister-in-law, there’s a wrap party tomorrow for the production team of ‘Gunshot’. The director wants to hold a ball. I don’t have a dance partner, so I want to invite you to accompany me and be my dance partner.”

Yuan Shu opened the invitation card and looked at it carefully. Then, she closed it and put it aside. She continued to eat the food in front of her attentively and placed a vegetable in her mouth. The crisp sound of chewing sounded in her mouth.

She replied aloofly, “Sure. Who else is going to this banquet?”

Shi Lu counted carefully with his fingers. Other than the production team, there were also the various investors of this movie and some big shots in the entertainment industry. It was a circle that Yuan Shu wasn’t familiar with.

After thinking about the people who would go, Shi Lu guessed that Yuan Shu probably wouldn’t go. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu only nodded and said, “Remember to send the gown to my room and get the makeup team from when we held a banquet at home last time to help me put on makeup. Is there anything else you need me to prepare?”

Shi Lu shook her head, then returned to the sofa in the living room and focused on watching the drama.

Early the next morning, the makeup team arrived at the ancestral home. They looked at the gown first before starting to do Yuan Shu’s makeup.

This gown was a black tube top and an ankle-length dress. It lengthened one’s figure, making one’s figure look slender and tall.

Because it was black and looked very retro, the makeup team gave Yuan Shu a pair of black thick-soled high heels to match it. The heels were about three inches, and the sheepskin on the shoes could only cover the toes, revealing her boney instep.

As for her hairstyle, Yuan Shu had always preferred a neat bun. This time, the makeup artist chose a wavy hairstyle that draped over her shoulders. Not only could it cover her neck and shoulders, but it could also accentuate the curves of her shoulders and neck.

The makeup wasn’t that complicated. Yuan Shu’s had very good skin, so the makeup artist only put on some simple makeup and red lipstick on her.

In the end, she chose a set of black camellia earrings and a necklace. These accessories gave her a retro and elegant aura. She looked so beautiful that one couldn’t take their eyes off her..
