14 Dark Night

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After Aunt Nan left, Liu Qi planned to check Nan Nan's record of entry and exit of the country first.

She didn't quite believe that Nan Nan would cut off contact with Aunt Nan.

She went to Shen Nanxiao's office and waited until 11 o'clock when Shen nan Xiao returned.

"Shen Nanxiao, can you get someone to help me check entry and exit records for someone?" Liu Qi thought that Shen Nanxiao definitely could pull some strings, which was better than her asking help from her father.

At first, Liu Qi planned to tell her father about this. After all, her father had connections, but after thinking about it, she felt that her father would definitely ask a lot of questions. It would be troublesome and slow.

"Okay, are you going to check your high school classmate, Nan Nan?" Shen Nanxiao had already guessed it.

He also knew Nan Nan. He used to pick up Liu Qi from school, and Nan Nan and Liu Qi were inseparable.

"Yes, she went abroad. I want to know which country she went to," Liu Qi said.

Shen Nanxiao called Wu Feng in. After saying a few words, Wu Feng went out.

"It's time to go," Shen Nanxiao reminded Liu Qi, who was still on her phone.

"Oh, wait a minute." Liu Qi didn't look up, focused on the phone screen. She was chatting with Liu Yue.

Liu Yue told her that she would return to the Liu House the next day. She also told her that she had obtained the script for the second female lead of Nanfeng Qu.

How could Liu Qi let Lu Xue play the first female lead? She was just biding her time.

After replying to the last message, Liu Qi turned off the screen. She wanted to put it in her pocket, but she realized that her sportswear did not have a pocket.

"Take my phone for me. I'm afraid that I'll drop it." Liu Qi handed the phone to Shen Nanxiao with trust.

As the two of them walked out of Yunqi, Liu Qi frowned subconsciously. It was hot in the afternoon.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, beads of sweat started to form on her forehead. On the other hand, Shen Nanxiao did not seem to feel the heat. His fair skin was fine and smooth. It seemed that there were no pores or sweat.

After getting into the car, Liu Qi felt that she had come back to life. It was much more comfortable with air-conditioning!

"Go to ZTE International," Shen Nanxiao said to the chauffeur.

Zhongxing International was a shopping mall, and there was a high-end dress shop named Lina.

Liu Qi did not know much about that place. She did not like to wear dresses, so she had only been there once.

Perhaps this was why her grandma always said that she did not understand social etiquette.

She felt uneasy about going back to the Liu residence. In her previous life, she did not go to this banquet, but she heard from Liu Yue that Shen Nanxiao had gone.

In her previous life, Liu Yue told her that Li Ya had done something improper, causing Shen Nanxiao to leave the Liu residence in a fit of anger.

She did not know what exactly happened, because at that time, she did not care about these things.

The more sje thought about it, the more melancholic she became, not knowing that someone was observing her.

"What are you thinking about?" Shen Nanxiao's voice was deep and cool, with a trace of concern in it.

Liu Qi came back to her senses in an instant. She looked at the man's cold expression and then shook her head. She did not know what she was thinking either. She always thought too much.

"Come here." Shen Nanxiao pulled her into his arms and let her sit on his lap.

His embrace was always reassuring no matter how anxious she was. Liu Qi decided not to worry and take things one step at a time.

She looked up at the profile of Shen Nanxiao's face. It was well-defined and very pleasing to the eyes. She could not help but smile and ask, "Shen Nanxiao, how do you take care of your skin? Your skin is better than mine."

As the little girl in his arms said this, her hands began to caress his face.

Suddenly, the little girl's hands stopped. Immediately after, she could feel a slight pain on her cheek.

"You've grown bold, huh?" Shen Nanxiao's indifferent words made Liu Qi stop what she had been doing. She nestled into the man's neck as if nothing had happened.

Liu Qi felt like she was teasing a tiger. She also felt a sense of accomplishment.

...

In less than half an hour, they arrived at Lina.

Lina was a separate building in Zhongxing International Square. From the outside, there was nothing special about it.

"Welcome to Lina. Please show your reservation number or VIP card." The receptionist at the door had a standard professional smile.

The reservation number had been filled out online, and the reservation fee was not a small amount. Other than that, there was also the VIP card, but very few people could get it.

After showing VIP card, they entered Lina, and the receptionist directly took them to the eighth floor through the private elevator.

Ding ~

The elevator door opened, and there was a man wearing a fancy suit and red lip floss standing at the door.

"Oh, Mr. Shen is here. This is Miss Liu, right? I'm Peter. Nice to meet you." After saying that, he reached out his hand to Liu Qi gentlemanly.

Peter's voice was a little high-pitched, but he was the chief designer of Lina. He had a certain status in the world.

Shen Nanxiao said coldly, "There's no need to shake hands. Have you got everything ready?"

"Aiyo, stingy. Everything's ready for for Miss Liu to choose." Peter smiled and withdrew his hand. He touched his short curly hair to hide the awkwardness.

Liu Qi had seen Peter in her previous life, when she was about to marry Nangong Shu.

The corridor led directly to the hall on the eighth floor. However, there were not many people in this hall. The outside world said that Peter personally received guests based on his mood and that he could not be forced.

However, Shen Nanxiao was different. He and Peter could be considered old acquaintances.

The hall was very clean and white. There was a leather sofa in the middle, and a tea set was placed before it. The three fake models each wore a dress, and two female employees in gray suits stood at the side.

"I designed these myself. Every stitch and thread is done by myself." Peter pointed with his little finger up and made a circle before Shen Nanxiao.

However, Liu Qi was shocked by these three dresses. She was more shocked than amazed.

Peter smiled and said to Liu Qi, "Mr. Shen asked me to design these a month ago. They were all custom-made for Miss Liu."

Shen Nanxiao ordered custom-made dresses for her? But... these three dresses were taken out by Peter when she came here in her previous life.

At that time, she chose the bottom-hugging fishtail dress as her wedding gown.

"Go and try them on." Shen Nanxiao's voice sounded in her ear. Only then did Liu Qi control emotions.

She nodded slightly and smiled. "Okay."

The three dresses were all different. The diamond-like shining bottom-hugging fishtail dress fitted her figure. It was not ostentatious, but it was extremely luxurious.

However, Liu Qi did not choose this one. She knew that the old lady disliked white dress Liu Yue had once worn a white dress, and she was scolded by the old lady.

She chose the dark-colored dress of sparkling indigo. The irregular design broke away from the dullness. A unique diamond buckle at the waist was the finishing touch to the entire dress.

One of the female employees led her to the fitting room. The gown was not easy to put on, so she needed help.

After putting on the gown and matching it with a pair of blue high heels, the effect was almost perfect.

Just as she stepped out of the fitting room, Shen Nanxiao's gaze was fixed on her. The girl that looked like a shining star in the night sky was his.

This gown was designed with a strapless bra, revealing a white swan neck. The front hem on the right was longer, which made it appear dignified. The front hem was short while the back hem was long. From the front, one could see two slender legs, and from the back, one could only see a long skirt.

"How is it?" Liu Qi walked towards the man step by step carefully, fearing to sprain her ankles with the seven-centimeter high heels.

"Wow, the Dark Night is amazing on Miss Liu."

Shen Nanxiao did not say anything, but Peter was extremely excited.

Seeing that Shen Nanxiao's expression did not change at all, Liu Qi first thought that he did not like this dress. When she walked in front of the man, she asked again, "Shen Nanxiao, does it look good?" As she spoke, she turned around slowly.

"Good." It was a simple word, but it sounded a little hoarse as if he was restraining his emotions.
