Chapter 1192: Modifying the Dance Costume

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“We’re just total strangers that came together by chance, is there a need for us to be bound together for a lifetime? Wei Lingnan, you must know other ways to treat the rejection, right? Tell me, I will give you a lot of benefits.”

“What benefits?” He remained calm.

Xia Yingluo said, “Wealth, glory, status! You can have anything! Just wait for me for a year, and I will fulfill your wishes!” When she returned to her family, what could she not have?

Wei Lingnan narrowed his eyes and looked at her. It seemed that the girl was so well-protected that she didn’t even know who he was. Her parents and uncle knew quite a lot of details about him but had yet to reveal anything to her. Had they failed to notice her abnormality since young, or...

They harbored hopes of it being a fluke, and thought she wasn’t the one he was looking for?

It’s a pity that she was that person.

He had passed through millions and millions of years, trudged through endless light-years, coming from numerous places outside the galaxy after defying untold dangers and difficulties, just to be able to see the revival of his beloved girl, to see her smile once again.

This time, he would never let her go.

“Wealth, power, fame and fortune mean nothing to me,” he said indifferently. “I only want you, Xia Yingluo.”

Xia Yingluo was about to go crazy. Even if she was beautiful and loveable, how could she have provoked such a neurotic man? She definitely didn’t read the yellow calendar when she entered the casino that day! “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t force it to drink,” she said to him irritably, because she had no other way to deal with him except with logic. “Even if you want me, I should have good feelings, right? Otherwise, if I’m not happy being with you, you wouldn’t be either, right? If you tell me the other ways to treat the reaction, I may develop a little bit of affection for you.”

“A little bit?”

“... Okay, some... a lot... a lot, a lot of good feelings. Are you satisfied?” She already wanted to kill this asshole.

Wei Lingnan admired her annoyed look. “One week.”

She snapped. “What one week?”

“Date me once a week in the future, and I will give you another way to treat the rejection.”

There really was another way! Xia Yingluo was surprised and agreed in a hurry. “Okay!” She also remembered this incident to heart. He had another way but still took advantage of her for so long? He was indeed a shameless man! She still remembered how he had violated her that night in the casino and at the back mountain. She just had to endure one more year, just one more year... she would surely return and take revenge!

She didn’t know if Wei Lingnan knew what she was thinking, he only said, “After a week, come find me at Nanning.”

She nodded, then suddenly remembered something, so she said vigilantly, “Promise me first, you’re not allowed to take advantage of me when we’re dating. You’re not allowed to kiss me, and... you’re not allowed to do that to me again.”

He looked down at her as if a large beast was looking at a small animal baring its teeth and claws.

She could feel her hair stand straight, but she straightened her back stubbornly and refused to back down.

He stared at her for a long time, then turned and walked away.

She froze and shouted, “Hey! Hey—!” He had yet to promise her, why was this man like that!

She went back to the dormitory, dejected.

Jin Ling’er got up from the bed and said, “Yingluo, where did you go? Just now Zhu Zhu brought you the dance costume and said it was to be worn at Pei Yan’s engagement banquet. Who are they kidding, they must have picked the last one for you! Take a look, it’s ugly as hell!”

Xia Yingluo took the dance costume and looked at it. It was really ugly as hell.

To put it in better words, the costume was a white and grey gradient, but to put it in worse words, the grey shade made it look very dirty. It was clearly new, but it was also an ability to be able to make it look like it had been worn for ten years. The corners were adorned with a few transparent glass beads which looked extremely cheap, no different from the ornaments sold at a market stand.

“They did it on purpose,” Xia Yingluo said.

Jin Ling’er was very sad. “Zhu Zhu said that the levels of the group dance have been arranged. For the overall effect of the performance, you cannot change the dance clothes without authorization. Otherwise, if the inconsistency messes up, the responsibility will be yours.” Although it was clear that some people were purposely making things difficult for Xia Yingluo, the engagement party was full of big names. Also, the Pei family was a famous entertainment industry and there would be a lot of celebrity directors, producers, and big stars with vicious eyes. As long as Xia Yingluo dared to destroy the overall effect of the stage, they could give her the impression of “unorganized, undisciplined, disobedient to the arrangement” in their hearts. Even if she was beautifully dressed, she would be blacklisted.

Xia Yingluo was not very worried. “I have a way.”

She didn’t care if she would be blacklisted by the directors and producers. She was only playing around in the training camp anyways. After completing two years of the trial, she would return back to her family peacefully and lead her wonderful, comfortable lady life until she died. Right now, her only concern was whether she could make a wonderful debut on the wedding stage and slap the faces of that dog couple and Jiang Bilian and her lackeys.

“Let’s go and alter it.” She pulled Jin Ling’er out of the dormitory.

Jiang Bilian and the rest were very calculative. Tomorrow was the engagement party, yet they only sent her the costume in the afternoon. They were probably afraid she would do something to the dress in desperation. For a dance dress to be altered beautifully, a long period of time was needed for it to be designed and then crafted, so how could it possibly be done overnight? In particular, those well-known and well-made tailor shops’ schedules were already packed for the next few months. So, even if it was urgent, it would take at least two or three days, which would be too late.

They had calculated that she would only be able to wear this gray dance dress tomorrow and be an undervalued clown.

But how was Xia Yingluo willing to admit defeat?

She and Jin Ling’er took a taxi to the city’s famous cloth market, where many small tailor shops altered trouser legs and altered simple clothes. After looking for a business that was deserted, she dropped her dance dress on the counter. “Master, I want to modify this dance dress and make a big change.”

The master raised his head and looked at the dance clothes, startled. “Little girl, I can’t do this job. I only take simple work such as shortening the pants and adding a zipper to the jacket. Is this the costume for a show? I’ve never altered one before. ”

“It’s very simple.” Xia Yingluo smiled and put a stack of cash in front of the master. “I’ll tell you how to change it. You just need to remove the thread and re-cut the suture. It won’t matter if you make a mistake, I won’t blame you.”

The master saw the pile of cash on the table and his eyes lit up. There were probably a few thousand yuan, right?

After listening to the little girl saying that she wouldn’t blame him for making a mistake, he couldn’t help but say, “Okay, then I’ll try.”
