Her eyes immediately lit up, and she boldly looked him up and down, feigning ignorance.
"Oh, where did this handsome guy come from..."
Pei Kexin couldn't be bothered to introduce him, but she still said, "Jiang Jingchen."
Fu Duoduo looked smitten. "No wonder you... Wow, Pei Kexin, heaven has been good to you. Tsk tsk, you can just grab someone like this on the street. Oh my..."
If she didn't stop her, who knew what else she would say. Pei Kexin didn't want to be embarrassed and stepped forward to push her.
"Has Gu Wei arrived? What kind of taste do you have? Did he deliberately pick such a disgusting color to mess with you? Let's go, I'll accompany you to pick a new one."
"Hans, take this gentleman to get his hair done. You, go with him."
The two pushed each other towards the fitting room.
As the door closed, Fu Duoduo, still unable to control her infatuation, pulled Pei Kexin and questioned her.
"Are you sure this person is a delivery guy and not a model? My god, you're too lucky. He's so captivating!"
"Look at that face, that height, those proportions. Oh my... you've made me want to go squat outside club entrances too."
"Hey, why don't you ask him if he has anyone similar in his company? I'm so envious of you..."
"Did you really bloom with him last night? Does he have muscles!"
"Based on my years of experience in judging men, he's definitely the type who looks slim in clothes and muscular out of them!"
"Pei Kexin, you're too lucky to have stumbled upon such a young and perfect specimen!"
Pei Kexin looked at her infatuation with the expression of someone watching an idiot, and finally said, "Are you done?"
Fu Duoduo hadn't seen such a handsome man in a long time and was truly stimulated. She wasn't going to finish easily.
Especially when she imagined dressing him up and taking him out, knowing he would attract countless envious glances, she felt a sense of triumph.
"That darn Zhou Ruyu, why is he having a masquerade ball? He's ugly himself, and he's preventing others from showing their faces. So annoying!"
"Otherwise, push your man in front of him, and he'll definitely regret it! He deserves it for being blind and not choosing you back then!"
"Oh, no no no, you shouldn't push him in front of him, you should push him towards Xia Tiantian."
"Toads in wells have never seen the vastness of the sky. They think they're great for stealing Zhou Ruyu? I can find someone a hundred times more handsome than him!"
"Let's see who will be blind enough to spread rumors that you have a crush on Zhou Ruyu in the future!"
Pei Kexin had lost interest in Zhou Ruyu years ago, so she wasn't interested in the scenarios of revenge she described.
She let Fu Duoduo fantasize while she casually picked clothes from the rack.
"Alright, they've been married for a year and are deeply in love. Otherwise, they wouldn't send a surprise. Can you, the bystander, please let the past go?"
"I was just narrow-minded back then and fell for Zhou Ruyu for a moment. I really shouldn't have told you; you're endless."
It wasn't that Fu Duoduo was endless, but rather that they were all in the same class. Although Fu Duoduo wasn't the closest to Pei Kexin, she knew how attentive Zhou Ruyu was to Pei Kexin in front of her.
Everyone thought they would end up together, but then he got involved with Xia Tiantian.
Even if they got together, someone soon spread the word that Pei Kexin had a crush on Zhou Ruyu, and so on...
It was obvious from a mile away that Xia Tiantian was behind it. Pei Kexin couldn't be bothered to argue and pretended not to see them, like an ostrich. Only she knew the taste of it.
Fu Duoduo was used to fighting for justice and had always disliked it. She wanted to get justice for Pei Kexin.
The reason she chose such an outrageous color today was also for Pei Kexin.
She wanted to make Xia Tiantian unhappy and loved to annoy her!
Make her angry, make her angry!
Therefore, no matter how much Pei Kexin disliked this dress, she wouldn't change it.
"Since we're all wearing masks, no one can see anyone clearly. What's there to be embarrassed about? I'm wearing it!"
"Don't try to persuade me. Hurry up and tidy yourself up so you can go take care of your husband. Such a cute young man, who knows if others will have ideas when they see him? Go watch him closely."
Helpless, Pei Kexin had known her for almost ten years and knew her temper.
She was decisive and stubborn. Pei Kexin decided to let it go.
Outside, Hans quickly gave Zhan Jingchen a trendy and mature hairstyle and then took him to the men's wardrobe to pick out clothes.
It was a dark blue satin shirt. If worn well, it could exude a luxurious and fashionable feel, but if worn poorly, it would look effeminate and cheap.
Fortunately, this young man was born with a model's physique and carried himself like a model. Without any accessories, he simply tucked the hem into his black pants, and wow.
He looked like the top noble son of a vampire family.
When Pei Kexin came out and saw him, she could only sigh.
Some people are truly born without needing to work hard, relying on their looks to make a living.
If, a month later, she saw his handsome photos in entertainment news, being hailed as a popular idol, she wouldn't be surprised at all.
The men wore similar golden masks, while Pei Kexin wore a black strapless long dress and a black-bordered white feathered mask. They all went out together.
Gu Wei acted as the driver and was already waiting outside in the car.
The three of them got in, and Gu Wei sneered.
"It seems like there's a show for you to watch today. Zhou Ruyu was afraid you wouldn't come, so he called me again to confirm."
Pei Kexin keenly caught the emphasis in his words.
"What do you mean 'again'?"
Gu Wei said, "This guy originally wanted to maintain his facade and never deliberately mentioned your name when speaking in the group. Hearing from Duoduo that you wouldn't be coming, and with you being newly married and busy lately, he couldn't hold back."
"He called me privately and asked a lot of questions indirectly. In the end, to make you feel at ease to go, he even went so far as to turn his wedding anniversary into a masquerade ball."
"Damn it, I really want to see what he's up to. Is he particularly fond of acting, or does he think you're too indifferent to his infidelity and wants to gain your attention?"
"Why didn't I realize he was such scum before? He's truly disgusting lately."
Pei Kexin didn't know about these private machinations between them. If she had known, she wouldn't have gone today no matter what.
Her own family was full of drama queens, and she didn't want to watch others act. Did she have that much free time?
"Knowing he's doing this deliberately and still dragging me along, isn't that playing right into his hands? I really don't understand why you two are fighting with him. Associating with scum, if you don't find it embarrassing, I find it beneath my dignity."
Fu Duoduo saw her scolding Gu Wei and couldn't help but defend him.
"Don't talk about him like that. It was all my idea to go today. Don't get angry yet, listen to me first."
"Just got some big news. The scumbag named Zhou seems to be ill. He's been to the hospital quite a bit privately in the past two years."
"Consider it heaven's way of helping you deal with him. Isn't it good for you to go and have some fun?"
Pei Kexin: "..."
Uncle Fu, please take Miss Fu back and lock her up. This person has no other thoughts besides gossip.
