From Jiang Lai’s perspective, although her own female form was quite beautiful now, she paled in comparison to Xu Ruobing, who was currently helping her put on her shoes—not just by a little, but by a wide margin.
Xu Ruobing naturally looked extraordinarily noble, and the air of sophistication she radiated made Jiang Lai feel utterly outclassed every time she saw her, leaving her only with feelings of inferiority.
Xu Ruobing was the most beautiful, most dignified, and most outstanding person Jiang Lai had ever seen; the difference between them was like that between clouds and mud.
Yet someone so far beyond her was right now putting shoes on her feet, smiling as she looked at her.
How could Jiang Lai’s heart not be stirred by such a sight?
“Go take a quick rinse in a moment. I’ll go get your change of clothes now.”
Aside from a faint smell of alcohol on Jiang Lai, there was no other odor.
Xu Ruobing did not mind it at all; on the contrary, she was quite fond of the intoxicating scent.
As soon as the two of them entered the room, Xu Ruobing indirectly suggested Jiang Lai wash up—not because she intended to take advantage of Jiang Lai’s unguarded state while she bathed.
Though Xu Ruobing might have wanted to do such a thing, she had more important matters to attend to at the moment.
She desperately needed her own time.
Even though the living room, kitchen, and other areas all looked spotless and immaculate now, it was because Xu Ruobing rarely used them.
But the Master Bedroom they were about to lie down in was an entirely different scene from the outside world.
This applied to her Dressing Room as well.
The Dressing Room was filled with so many things that Xu Ruobing knew she couldn’t tidy up properly in one go.
She could use this short time to straighten up her bedroom a little.
After briefly showing Jiang Lai where the bathroom was, Xu Ruobing dove straight into the Master Bedroom.
She said she was going to get Jiang Lai’s clothes but what she would actually do inside the room was unknown.
Jiang Lai had already completely misunderstood the situation in her mind.
She planned to wash up simply to clean herself, the smell of alcohol on her strong enough that she didn’t even need to try to smell it.
So why was Xu Ruobing so eager for her to go wash?
As she walked the few steps to the bathroom, Jiang Lai’s mind ran wild with all kinds of inappropriate fantasies.
Would Xu Ruobing take advantage of her while she was naked and without a change of clothes?
Jiang Lai truly felt she was losing her mind to think such improper thoughts about someone like Xu Ruobing.
But she couldn’t help but dwell on it, causing her to take an unusually long time washing herself off.
What should have been a quick rinse stretched to half an hour.
During those thirty minutes, not only did Jiang Lai not encounter any kind of assault she feared, Xu Ruobing didn’t even bring the promised sleepwear.
Had she accidentally fallen asleep in the Master Bedroom?
With that question nagging at her, Jiang Lai carefully dried herself off, wrapped her bathrobe tightly, slipped into her slippers, and stepped out of the bathroom to see what Xu Ruobing was up to.
What she saw inside the bedroom was a strikingly sexy scene.
The Xu Ruobing who always acted graceful, composed, poised, and even somewhat aloof in front of her was now wearing an outfit that was completely unfamiliar.
A T-shirt that revealed a bit of her waist and a skirt that barely reached her knees… Such a revealing and provocative outfit was not something Xu Ruobing should wear.
She was supposed to be dressed in Designer Brands with strong design senses—long skirts, short skirts, qipaos, haute couture—drawing all Starry Radiance onto her, the center of attention in the world, dazzling and mesmerizing.
So why was she wearing this?
While Jiang Lai stood in the doorway pondering Xu Ruobing’s intentions, Xu Ruobing naturally noticed her presence.
“Since you’re ready, come in quickly. It’s warmer inside than out here.”
Despite the incongruity of her outfit, Xu Ruobing’s voice remained cool yet carried a unique tenderness.
Now that she’d been discovered, Jiang Lai walked in boldly, suppressing her doubts and smiling brightly as she asked, “Why this outfit?”
“Do you like it?” Xu Ruobing lowered her lashes slightly, looking at Jiang Lai. “It’s my first time wearing something like this. I don’t even know if you’ll like it. This outfit was given to me by the organizers after watching a Girl Group performance.”
“They wanted me to wear this and take a group photo with the Girl Group, but I thought it was too revealing, so I never wore it. I only found it just now while tidying up.”
“But why wear it now…?”
Jiang Lai still hadn’t quite pieced together the cause and effect of the situation.
“Because I want to dance for you.”
Xu Ruobing knew Jiang Lai was in a genuinely good mood now.
The source of her earlier bad mood was related to personal matters, so Xu Ruobing didn’t dare pry too much.
She had no idea how to improve Jiang Lai’s mood directly, so instead, she decided to try something special to please her.
While tidying her chaotic bedroom just now, Xu Ruobing suddenly spotted the Girl Group outfits that had been pulled out.
She couldn’t help but get a little mischievous.
If Jiang Lai liked to see this kind of thing, then she would definitely make her happy.
“Just watch me, alright?”
“Alright.”
Xu Ruobing’s exposed skin was pale and flawless, like the finest porcelain glaze, every line and pattern visible.
She took out her phone and played the accompaniment she had chosen long ago.
Just from hearing the song and the music, Jiang Lai could tell what kind of choreography it would be, because it was a very Famous Girl Group Song.
Such Girl Group Dance routines fully showcased the beauty and sensuality of the female body, meaning some of the moves carried a subtle hint of suggestion.
Xu Ruobing had learned a lot about dancing in the past, but she wasn’t a standard Girl Group member.
Even with all her previous training, seeing the reality now left her a bit flustered.
But now that she had made her bold declaration, it would be humiliating to back down.
Taking a deep breath to calm the flush on her face, she shyly made her way to the bedside and dimmed the bedroom lights, leaving just enough shadow to obscure the finer details.
Only in this relatively dark environment could Xu Ruobing forget her nervous heart…
The next moment, the noble big star blushed faintly, and under the dim light, she earnestly began to dance.
