The next day at the banquet, Ji Yao arrived as promised.
Having already made arrangements with Xu Ye, she certainly couldn't miss the appointment, and for this, she had made special preparations.
Xu Ye's eyes flickered with amazement when he saw Ji Yao.
He knew Ji Yao was beautiful, but since she had never really cared to dress up before, her appearance, though pretty, didn't stand out strikingly.
Now it was different.
Barely touching her face with cosmetics, Ji Yao wore the clothes and jewelry she meticulously matched and designed, looking like a dazzling swan that made the world pale in comparison.
"You're looking really nice today, it seems you do value this banquet quite a bit," he commented.
Ji Yao nodded without hesitation, previously thinking that such so-called banquets were nothing more than gatherings of people expanding their connections, with little actual discussion about design.
