Chapter 802 - 845: The Banquet
After hanging up, Ye Anxin breathed a sigh of relief!Lately, she really doesn’t know what’s going on? Everywhere she goes, it’s her birthday! That’s how it is with mom, and it’s the same with Yueyue! They’re either giving her gifts or celebrating her birthday!
It’s just a birthday! Is it necessary to make such a big deal out of it?
She’s not like Beiting, neglected by parents since childhood, never having celebrated a birthday! That’s why she wanted to make sure Beiting had an unforgettable birthday!
Although she’s never had an overwhelming birthday from childhood to adulthood, her mother and Yueyue have always been by her side! To her, that’s more than enough!
After hanging up with her mother, Ye Anxin placed her phone on the bedside table and lay down to catch up on sleep!
.........
Time quietly slipped by, and in the blink of an eye, it was Friday!
After Mu Beiting and Xiao Bai finished their morning run and breakfast, one went to school while the other headed to the office.
From the moment Ye Anxin got up, she received several calls from her mother and Ling Yueyue, all wishing her a happy birthday.
After casually responding to them, she resumed her peaceful and happy day!
Just like usual, Ye Anxin’s daily focus was on little Chu Yi. When Chu Yi was asleep, she’d read magazines or take a short nap. Once Chu Yi was awake, she’d take him to play in the garden!
Luckily, it’s spring now, the weather is nice, the warm breeze is perfect for basking in the sun!
At four in the afternoon, Ye Anxin’s phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.
She glanced at the caller ID, picked up the call, and placed it to her ear, "Pete, why are you calling me?"
Pete replied politely and respectfully, "Madam, I’m outside the villa now! The boss needs a companion for a gala tonight and asked me to pick you up!"
Ye Anxin asked, "What about Beiting?"
Pete replied, "The boss is a bit tied up at the moment and can’t break free! After I pick you up, I’ll take you directly to the gala venue, where the boss will meet you!"
"Oh! Then wait for me a moment, I’ll change and come out!" With that, Ye Anxin hung up, opened her wardrobe, looked around, and finally took out the blue floral dress Yueyue gifted her a few days ago, paired it with nude stockings and white knee-high boots, grabbed her white handbag, and after giving the butler and nanny a few instructions, she headed out!
As she stepped out, Pete quickly got out of the front passenger seat, opened the rear door for Ye Anxin, and made a welcoming gesture.
Ye Anxin nodded, bent down, and settled into the car!
Once Pete returned to the front passenger seat, he instructed the driver to start driving.
Pete turned back to look at Ye Anxin and with a smile said, "Madam, we have some time before the gala, I’ll take you to get styled first!"
"Oh! Okay!" Ye Anxin nodded compliantly!
She knew that for a formal gala, her current attire would hardly be appropriate! The women attending would be in evening dresses, with makeup and styled hair! Her current look was too plain; she needed to spruce up!
Pete took Ye Anxin directly to Jin City’s largest and most luxurious image styling store. Upon arrival, he instructed the store manager to personally craft the most beautiful look for Ye Anxin.
The manager nodded, instructed an assistant to take Ye Anxin inside, and then had someone offer Pete a seat with a cup of coffee before leaving.
Pete sat in the store’s reception area, casually picked up a magazine to pass the time!
Ye Anxin’s styling took over an hour! By the time she came out, night had fallen outside!
The styling session took so long; Pete flipped through magazine after magazine until he heard the store manager’s voice nearby and looked up towards the shop!
For Ye Anxin’s look that evening, white was chosen as the main tone! Although she had given birth to two children, her face was still radiantly youthful, resembling a fully bloomed lily, pure and beautiful!
Thus, the store manager specially chose a white backless V-neck evening gown to match Ye Anxin’s temperament! The entire back of this gown was almost completely exposed. With wide white shoulder straps, a V-neckline, slender waist, perky hips, and long legs, the entire upper body of the gown was all about showcasing curves! Below the knees, a loose flare design was chosen. Her long black hair was simply styled up, leaving a wavy strand cascading at her chest! Paired with ten-inch heels and exquisite makeup, Ye Anxin looked like she’d undergone a perfect, pure transformation!
Seeing Ye Anxin like this, there was a clear flash of amazement in Pete’s eyes!
Catching his expression completely, the store manager with a smile coyly asked, "Assistant Pete, Madam Mu’s styling is complete! Are you satisfied?"
"It’s excellent! I’m sure our boss will be very pleased!" Pete said, circling around Ye Anxin before stopping behind her!
Noticing the large expanse of bare skin on Ye Anxin’s back, Pete frowned slightly, "However, the back is too exposed, can something cover it?"
He knew his boss’s personality all too well! If the boss saw Madam’s back fully exposed for everyone to see, he’d definitely be furious!
The boss was possessive and overbearing!
So, the back must be addressed; he didn’t want to be scolded by the boss later.
"No problem!" the store manager nodded, stepping into the fitting room. When he returned, he was holding a white transparent scarf.
The store manager opened the scarf and draped it over Ye Anxin!
The scarf perfectly covered Ye Anxin’s exposed back, but added an extra touch of elegance rather than being awkward.
"There we go! This is fine now!" Satisfied, Pete nodded, checking his watch and murmuring, "It’s about time!" Then, looking up at Ye Anxin, he respectfully said, "Madam, it’s about time, let me take you to the gala venue!"
"Mm!" Ye Anxin nodded, leaving the styling store with Pete, getting into the business car they arrived in, heading towards their destination!
Initially, Ye Anxin didn’t pay much attention to the outside, she was preoccupied with how not to embarrass Mu Beiting at the gala!
Only after the car drove for a long time without arriving did she curiously raise her head to look out the window!
She was shocked by what she saw and hurriedly asked Pete, "Pete, aren’t we going to the gala? Where is it? Why does it seem we’re going farther away? It feels like we’re leaving the city!"
