After thinking about it, she couldn’t bear to part with her own child, so she changed her mind: “No, let’s switch hands instead. Our Youyou is just as pretty. It’s just that my hands aren’t as good at dressing her up as yours. If I were as good at dressing her up as you, I could dress her up beautifully every day. Oh, Qingyu, how come your hands are so long?”
Zhuzhu was naturally beautiful and didn’t need to dress up to be pretty. People had praised Xie Qingyu for dressing her daughter up well before, but none of them had shown the same level of pride as she did now.
Now that she had her own career, developing her talents in a field she loved, and receiving praise, she had never felt so accomplished.
But even when she was very happy to be praised, she would only smile modestly.
It was getting late, so after dressing the child up, touching up her makeup, and changing her clothes, they prepared to go out.
Duan Zihui drove over to pick up the mother and daughter, while the other two women and their child were picked up separately by Xu Yi and Lu Yiheng.
Duan Zihui was taken aback when he saw his daughter’s outfit today, thinking that she looked exceptionally beautiful, almost excessively so.
As soon as he picked her up, the little girl immediately said, “Daddy, you can hug me, but don’t kiss my face. Mommy just did my makeup, and if you kiss me, you’ll ruin it.”
Actually, she didn’t wear much makeup. The little girl had good, fair skin and didn’t need any makeup at all.
Xie Qingyu simply applied some blush to her cheeks and a light, moisturizing lipstick to make her face look more rosy and healthy.
Surprisingly, this little girl was quite protective of her face today.
Xie Qingyu walked behind, laughing uncontrollably.
Duan Zihui raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “Alright, alright, Daddy won’t kiss your cheek.”
Zhuzhu: “Don’t touch my head either, or it’ll mess up my hairstyle.”
Duan Zihui: “…Okay.”
Their place was a bit far from where Mr. Jiang lived, about a ten-minute drive. Since there weren’t many people on the island, the journey was very smooth.
It was already past six o’clock when they arrived.
A number of people had already arrived at the entrance, all dressed in extremely glamorous attire. While they might not all be exceptionally handsome or beautiful, their taste was impeccable.
Xie Qingyu hadn’t attended a banquet with so many important people in a long time. She felt a little awkward when she got out of the car. She looked down and checked her outfit several times. When she didn’t find anything wrong, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After parking the car at the entrance and handing the keys to the parking attendant, Duan Zihui, carrying his daughter, led Zhuzhu and the others inside.
He was a relatively new face here, so many people who were seeing him for the first time turned to look at him, curious about his identity.
Duan Zihui pretended not to notice their strange looks.
There weren’t many familiar faces around, so he was happy to be alone.
On the long table in the living room, covered with a white tablecloth, were a lot of food, including fruit, pastries, and various champagnes and wines.
Duan Zihui was worried that the child would go hungry, so he took her to eat something first.
He had just gotten a slice of pizza for his daughter when Butler Du sent someone over to invite him.
“Mr. Jiang heard you’ve arrived and would like to invite you over for a chat.”
The visitor was polite and courteous.
Duan Zihui put down his fork, nodded, and smiled, “Okay.”
He then looked at Xie Qingyu beside him and asked, “Do you want to come over together?”
Xie Qingyu was eating a cake. She wasn’t interested in men’s business acumen and waved her hand, saying, “No, thank you.”
