Chapter 184 - 184: BallChapter 184: Ball
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As this was a small ball, there wouldn’t be many people present. Other than those who were close to each other, each family only needed a representative. Therefore, the Shi family’s makeup team didn’t come to the house to do their makeup. Instead, Shi Yi was in charge of their makeup.
Shi Yi helped Shi Xiao with his makeup first before going to Yuan Shu’s room to help her with her makeup. As Shi Xiao waited for them downstairs, he dealt with some company matters.
After about an hour, Shi Xiao looked at the time. If they didn’t set off soon, they might be late.

Because Yuan Shu’s dress was dragging on the floor, it was a little inconvenient to walk, so Shi Yi supported her as they slowly walked down the stairs.
When Shi Xiao heard footsteps, he put down the documents in his hand and stood up to look at the stairs.
As the two of them slowly walked down the stairs, Yuan Shu’s beautiful peony dress mesmerized Shi Xiao. The impact of the colors and the arc of the cotton gauze swayed with her footsteps, like a gorgeous and colorful peony painting slowly unfolding. She was so beautiful that she was simply breathtaking.
When the two of them completely appeared in Shi Xiao’s vision, Yuan Shu’s dignified face gradually became clear. Shi Xiao was actually stunned for a moment.
In ancient times, the elegance of a princess symbolized the prosperity of a country. For a moment, Shi Xiao felt that Yuan Shu was like a proud peony that symbolized the Shi family’s prosperity.
“Brother?” Shi Yi called out to Shi Xiao twice with a playful smile on her face, and there was a hint of teasing in her eyes. She didn’t expect her usually serious brother to fall head over heels for her sister-in-law.
After Shi Xiao came back to his senses, he coughed to hide his embarrassment. Then, he took out a gift box from his hand. Inside, there was a set of rose gold jewelry that had just been mailed from overseas.
He said to Yuan Shu, “Wear this.”
Yuan Shu took the gift box and opened it to take a look. Before she could react, Shi Yi was shocked. “Brother, this set of jewelry has just been on a fashion show and it’s on the trending searches. It hasn’t even been sold in the country yet. It can be said that you can’t buy it even if you have money, but you actually got it!”
Shi Xiao frowned. What did she mean by that? Why did these words sound so awkward?
He ignored Shi Yi and walked towards the door. “Let’s go. The cocktail party is about to start.”

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony in the hospital ended, everyone rushed to the five-star hotel beside the hospital. Shi Xiao and the others went straight to the hotel.
As soon as they entered the banquet hall on the second floor of the hotel, they saw Liu Lan entertaining guests.
Liu Lan had just welcomed a wave of guests and brought them to the banquet hall. When she turned around and saw Yuan Shu, her eyes lit up. She was also stunned by Yuan Shu’s appearance today.
Other than Liu Lan, everyone else’s gazes were also focused on Yuan Shu.
Her gorgeous dress made everyone’s eyes light up with envy. Yuan Shu had a nice figure to begin with and her posture was good as well. She didn’t have a designer bag on her shoulders. This gorgeous gown was simply the icing on the cake.
Yuan Shu’s thick black hair was tied into a bun that Shi Yi had specifically styled.
The jewelry Yuan Shu was wearing was made of rose gold, and was designed by the most famous brand designer in Europe. It wasn’t listed on the domestic market yet, but it was worn by Yuan Shu, so it could be seen how powerful the Shi family was.
The rumors about Shi Xiao and Yuan Shu not getting along well were dispelled at this moment. This was the first time Shi Xiao and Yuan Shu appeared together after returning to the country, so many people were looking forward to this gala and thought that this seemingly harmonious couple would definitely make a fool of themselves at the gala. Now that they saw Yuan Shu’s outfit, they felt disappointment..
