Reincarnation: Multi-skilled Goddess Is So Beautiful! Chapter 375 – Cousins Wearing Cheongsams to Attend the Dinner Banquet

Chapter 375: Cousins Wearing Cheongsams to Attend the Dinner Banquet

Since it was a dinner banquet, they had to wear formal clothes.

“What a headache. It’s too late to buy a dress either.”

When Zi Yi heard Dou Xiangling’s concerns, she didn’t think of it as a problem. “Cousin, didn’t you bring a few cheongsams? Those are prettier than those evening gowns.”

Dou Xiangling thought about Zi Yi’s words for a moment and felt that it was a feasible idea. However… “Yiyi, do you have any evening gowns?”

“Nope,” Zi Yi answered her honestly. “All of my clothes are casual clothes.”

She didn’t think about it in the past, but ever since she got together with Lu Jingye, it seemed like all her clothes had been prepared for her by him. Therefore, she did not have a single dress or skirt in her wardrobe.

Dou Xiangling tilted her head to the side and seemed to have suddenly thought of something. “Why don’t you wear my cheongsam? I just happened to have brought one which I haven’t worn yet.”

Having said that, Dou Xiangling was suddenly expectant. “Even though I’m shorter than you, that cheongsam is more towards a longer style. You’ll definitely be able to wear it.”

Other than the fact that Dou Xiangling was shorter than Zi Yi by a few centimeters, their figures were more or less similar.

Most importantly, she wanted to see how stunning Zi Yi looked when she wore a cheongsam.

Zi Yi looked at Dou Xiangling’s shining eyes and pursed her lips to think about it for a moment before she nodded. “Alright then.”

Thus, the two of them headed upstairs.

Dou Xiangling headed to her room to grab the new cheongsam and passed it to Zi Yi.

The cheongsam had a drop collar design and the color was a crescent white, embroidered with a blue and white porcelain pattern.

If Dou Xiangling were to wear it, she would definitely look like she belonged to a good family and resemble a fair lady.

However, it was different when Zi Yi wore it.

Her stunning appearance and her curvaceous figure made her appear even more gorgeous and charming.

Together with the drop collar design and the height of where the slit of the cheongsam was at…

It made her seem enchanting.

Coupled with her cool and aloof temperament, she seemed so noble that it gave off a feeling that one could only look at her from a distance and not come into contact with it.

Dou Xiangling was stunned when she saw Zi Yi wearing the cheongsam.

This was the first time Zi Yi had worn a cheongsam and she was not used to it. She stood before the mirror and pulled the clothes from her chest. She then said to Dou Xiangling, who was standing beside her, “Cousin, I feel that it’s a little tight.”

Dou Xiangling walked towards her and pulled the sides of the cheongsam. “It’s just nice. You’ve brought out the full potential of this cheongsam.”

The corner of her lips curled up and she said, “If you wear this and attend the dinner party, everyone’s eyes will be on you tonight.”

Zi Yi quirked her eyebrow and deliberately revealed traces of dandiness. Her whole temperament changed and she seemed slightly naughty. “Whoever dares to stare at me, I shall beat them up so much that they won’t dare to look at me for another second.”

Dou Xiangling was amused by her words and she said, after she finished laughing, “You’re a lady tonight. Don’t think about beating people up… even if you really do want to beat someone up, get Shadow to do the job.”

Zi Yi’s eyes curved into crescents and a sudden thought appeared in her mind. She took out her phone, opened the camera, and took a selfie. She deliberately omitted her face and sent the photo to Lu Jingye.

[Ah Jing, guess who is this?]

Unexpectedly, Lu Jingye did not even need to guess as the reply was immediate.

[Wear a shawl.]

Zi Yi: “…”

Lu Jingye’s second message soon arrived.

[The temperature difference between day and night in Country X is pretty drastic. Wear a thicker shawl, and don’t catch a cold.]

Zi Yi: “…”

The third message: [Be obedient.]

Dou Xiangling looked at Zi Yi’s appearance as if she did not know what kind of expression she should have on her face. She then laughed and said, “Yiyi, don’t stand there and stare at your phone. Let’s go.”

Zi Yi recovered her senses and the word, ‘old-fashioned’ repeatedly sounded in her mind. However, the corner of her lips curled up uncontrollably.

She checked her wardrobe and did not find any shawl she could use. She then asked Dou Xiangling. “Do you have a shawl?”

Dou Xiangling did indeed have one.

“You want one?”

“Yep.”

Dou Xiangling was a little surprised, but she still went to fetch two shawls.

The shawls she had were those of thin fabric. In fact, there was little difference between wearing them and not wearing them.

Zi Yi put on the shawl over her shoulders and thought that as long as she wore something, that old-fashioned man would have nothing to say.

Since Zi Yi was using a shawl, of course, Dou Xiangling would also follow suit.

Only then did they head downstairs.

However, she did not expect to see Housekeeper Ye holding onto a shawl at the lobby as he smiled and waited for her.

“Miss Zi, Second Young Master just called and told me to prepare a shawl for you.”

He then passed her shawl to her and added, “The material is made of X-silk fabric and you won’t feel too warm.”

Before Zi Yi managed to react to his words, Dou Xiangling directly laughed with her hands covering her mouth.

Zi Yi changed the shawl and looked at Dou Xiangling who was smiling brightly with a wooden expression.

Dou Xiangling continued to laugh for a while. After she finished laughing, she said, “Actually, it’s not bad to have such a boyfriend.”

Zi Yi laughed at what she said and nodded in agreement.

The two of them headed outside the villa together.

Housekeeper Ye had already prepared the car, driver, and bodyguard for them.

After the two of them got in the car, it drove out of the villa.

Count Alistair’s house was not too far from Lu Jingye’s villa. By the time Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling arrived, it was already past 7 p.m.

The Count’s house was of a typical Western European Baroque style, with a round spire and numerous carvings. The house was rich in colors, giving off a magnificent feeling.

As soon as the car stopped, a servant came over and opened the door for them, and led them inside.

Obviously, the people attending tonight’s dinner party were not only the contestants. There were also some nobles.

Along the way, they had received everyone’s attention. There were many men who forgot how to walk just because they had walked past them. Some of the women could not help but feel sour at that.

“They aren’t wearing evening gowns?”

“But the dresses they’re wearing are really beautiful.”

“What’s the use of it being beautiful? They’re simply being disrespectful to Count Alistair by wearing that.”

“That’s right. Everyone here is wearing evening gowns but they are actually wearing those types of clothes? Are they deliberately trying to attract everyone’s attention?”

…

Those who were making their way inside had all stopped in their tracks to look at them.

Dou Xiangling furrowed her brows when she heard their comments towards them. However, she did not intend to argue or reason with them and felt that it was better to avoid trouble.

However, Zi Yi stopped and looked at those noble young ladies who were commenting on their attire. Under the gazes of the public, she walked towards them and asked coldly, “How are our clothes disrespecting Count Alistair?”

The few noble ladies did not expect Zi Yi to confront them directly. After they blanked out momentarily, they were displeased.

“Did we say anything wrong? Everyone who participated in tonight’s dinner banquet is dressed to the nines. Only the two of you are dressed differently from everyone.”

“Do you know the cheongsam culture of China?”

“Ugh…” That noble lady was speechless.

Zi Yi calmly explained to her the origin and history of cheongsams.

After she was done, she looked toward the few noble ladies and said, “Every country has its own clothing tradition. Us wearing cheongsam is because we have attached importance to attending this dinner banquet. However, it had unexpectedly ended up as us being disrespectful to Count Alistair. I honestly wish to ask the few of you, could it be that the etiquette of your country is unable to accommodate another country’s traditional culture?”
