Chapter 319: Invitation
Li Xi's heart moved, and he asked, "Did you make it last night?"
Bai Wenyu replied with a smile, "And this morning." ”
"Oh!" Li Xi took a closer look at the dress, the dress was white, and below the neck, there were a few things like embellished gems, dazzling. At first glance, it gives people an impression of impressing.
Dresses, especially women's dresses, are usually minimalist. In fact, if the material and workmanship are good enough, the more simple the clothes, the easier it is to reflect the nobility.
On the contrary, the more fancy the clothes, the cheaper they are.
The kind of extremely fancy clothes are usually worn by hippies or street boys, and they are not suitable for formal occasions at all.
Therefore, buttons are rarely used on women's dresses, but Bai Wenyan is ingenious and makes a set of buttons into decoration. Immediately added a completely different feeling to this dress.
Even, after having this button dress, the person wearing it doesn't even need to wear additional jewelry such as a necklace.
When women attend banquets, in addition to dresses, people with certain economic conditions usually wear additional jewelry. A set of expensive jewelry can add a lot of charm to the woman who wears it.
But if you don't wear it well, or if the jewelry doesn't match the dress, it will have the opposite effect. Therefore, most of the jewelry worn by women, especially necklaces, is dominated by sparkling diamonds that are versatile and sparkling on such occasions.
Other colored jewelry, such as jadeite, agate, and gold, is not easy to find the right dress.
This is also one of the main reasons why agate, jadeite and other precious jewelry that are sought after in China are not very popular in Western countries.
Sometimes, when a lady owns an extremely expensive piece of jewelry (such as the Heart of the Ocean), she will even design a dress based on the jewelry to achieve a more reasonable match.
And Bai Wenyan's dress is designed, with such a set of buttons, but it is just right.
It can be said that with such a set of buttons, you don't need to wear jewelry around your neck.
In this way, it is convenient for many people at once. You know, jewelry, especially diamond necklaces, unless your diamond is particularly large, otherwise, it is difficult for these rich people who attend banquets for the main purpose of making a big show at the banquet and then meeting more friends.
Especially among the noblewomen, there is a serious comparison mentality. Someone else has an egg-sized diamond around their neck, and you have a diamond the size of a grain of rice around your neck, even if you are embarrassed to bring it, you are afraid that you will be embarrassed to show it to others.
Just like in Maupassant's "The Necklace", a formal banquet, without a decent piece of jewelry, are you embarrassed to attend the banquet?
But even if you bring decent jewelry, for the ladies attending the banquet, everyone's necklace is basically the same, except for the style, its essence is a diamond necklace.
For the same diamond necklace, who can guarantee that they must be bigger than others?
If you can't guarantee your own diamond, it will definitely be bigger than others, and for these noble ladies with strong vanity, I'm afraid and embarrassed to bring it out.
At this time, special decoration methods have become a very important choice.
The button dress design of Bai Wenyan's dress can already be said to be a different way.
"Is it good-looking?" Bai Wenyu saw Li Xi looking at the dress on his body, and couldn't help but ask Li Xi.
"Do you want to listen to the truth or do you want to listen to lies?" asked Li Xi with a smile.
"Nonsense, of course you have to listen to the truth. Bai Wenyu spoke without the slightest scruples, which was very in line with her identity as a policewoman.
"It's beautiful!" Li Xi nodded.
"What about the lie?" Bai Wenyu listened to Li Xi's praise for her good looks, her face showed joy, and her feelings Even if she is a female policeman, she likes others to praise her.
"Very nice to look at. Li Xi praised loudly.
"That's pretty much it. Bai Wenyu glanced at Li Xi happily, "Whoever dares to say that the clothes designed by my sister are not good-looking, I will not finish with him." ”
"It's so fast. Li Xi turned to Bai Wenyan, "The buttons that I took yesterday have designed clothes today." ”
Bai Wenyan said with a smile: "The clothes are the styles that have been thought of a long time ago, but they are just buttons on top of the original style." By the way, I really want to thank you for your buttons, without your buttons, how can it be so easy to design a set of clothes so quickly. ”
"You're welcome. Li Xi shook his head lightly, and asked, "Selling goods, these buttons are useless in my hands anyway, since you can play its best role, then use it." Besides, didn't you say that after the dress is sold, you will give me a dividend? What are you doing so politely?"
"Well, I wouldn't have been able to design a dress like this without your buttons. At the end of the day, it's thanks to your buttons. Bai Wenyan is unusually modest.
"Alright, you two, don't be humble to each other. Bai Wenyu suddenly interrupted the words of the two, looking at Li Xi's eyes, but he looked quite strange.
However, Bai Wenyan didn't notice it, and invited Li Xi to speak, "Do you have something to do this afternoon?"
"It's okay, what's wrong?" Li Xi felt strange. The glass house has been set up in the yard, and there is no need to worry about any snakes, insects, rats and ants getting into it and destroying his sweet fruit tree, so Li Xi really didn't have anything to do for a while.
"That's right. Bai Wenyan sent out an invitation, "I want to show this dress to one of my customers, do you want to go with me to see it?"
"Customer?" Li Xi hesitated for a moment, he was actually not very willing to do this kind of thing.
"yes. Bai Wenyan smiled softly: "After you sell it, you will have to pay dividends, if you don't go over and take a look, what if you lose your money?"
Of course, Li Xi knew that the other party was joking, but then he thought of what Bai Wenyan had said to himself: You can't earn enough money before, and it will be good for you to participate in more activities like this.
His heart moved, and he immediately said, "Okay, I'll go over with you to have a look." ”
Bai Wenyu obviously felt Li Xi's reluctance before, and couldn't help but glance at Li Xi, and muttered: "I promised so reluctantly, as if my sister begged you to go." ”
Li Xi retorted unceremoniously, "If you change someone, even if you beg me, I won't necessarily go." ”
Bai Wenyu smiled: "You have a really big face, I don't believe it, there are really people begging you to go?"
"That's not for sure. Li Xi replied.
Bai Wenyan was unaware of the dispute between the two, "Li Xi, you wait a minute, we will go down immediately." ”
As he spoke, he greeted Bai Wenyu and asked her to go in and take off her dress.
Ding Doudou waved his hand to Li Xi first, and called out in his mouth, "Uncle Li." ”
The little girl went downstairs immediately, and then Bai Wenyan and Bai Wenyu also came downstairs.
The three of them got downstairs, and immediately smelled the sweet aroma in the air again, just now it was upstairs in Bai Wenyan's house, the aroma was not very strong, and now that it was close to Li Xi's door, the aroma became more and more intense.
"Li Xi, what kind of fruit are yours, so fragrant?" Bai Wenyu sniffed.
The little girl Ding Doudou was lying in front of the glass house, with a pair of big black eyes, staring at the sweet fruit tree in Li Xi's yard without blinking.
The little girl apparently discovered that the sweet aroma in the air came from the fruit tree.
"Sweet fruit, do you want to come in and try it?"
Li Xi opened the glass door and pushed the cat and dog aside.
"It's so fragrant!" The three of them entered Li Xi's courtyard, and Bai Wenyu exclaimed again.
Bai Wenyan said: "Yesterday, there didn't seem to be such a fruit tree in your yard, why did you suddenly have such a fruit tree." ”
"Hehe! Li Xi casually weaved lies.
Reaching out and plucking a few sweet fruits from the tree, he handed them to the three of them, "You taste them." ”
"It's so sweet!" Bai Wenyan and Bai Wenyu ate one, and at the same time exclaimed, 'It's so sweet'.
The sweetness of this sweet fruit is a bit unexpected. I ate one and didn't eat it all. Adults are rarely able to accept this extreme sweetness. Despite the sweetness of the delicious fruit, it is really not because of the high sugar content.
Ding Doudou, the little girl, obviously liked it very much, and ate them one after another.
"Li Xi. Bai Wenyu suddenly called Li Xi, "I have something to ask you." ”
"Xiaoyu, what's the matter?" Bai Wenyan couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, a little thing. Bai Wenyu obviously didn't want her sister to know, so her explanation was extremely vague, and then reached out to pull the corner of Li Xi's clothes.
Li Xi walked to the side with Bai Wenyu.
Only then did Bai Wenyu ask, "Li Xi, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Li Xi listened inexplicably.
"Don't pretend to be confused. Bai Wenyu stretched out his hand and lightly punched Li Xi's chest, "My sister, you and my sister, what's going on?"
"It's nothing. Li Xi was completely confused, "Let's be clear, what exactly do you mean?"
"It's my sister, let me ask you, you and my sister, is it, has something already happened?" Bai Wenyu asked quite clearly this time. It's just that, as an unmarried woman, she still can't let go of her face when she asks a young man about this kind of thing.
In fact, whether it is abroad or at home, except for those women who have no pursuit of life, are idle all day except for work, have nothing to do, and have to go out all day long to relieve their loneliness. Generally, women who are more family-oriented or prefer quiet are quite conservative in their private lives.
Unless you have a regular boyfriend, it's really unlikely that you will have X behavior before marriage. Of course, in this era, this kind of woman, in terms of overall proportion, is still in the minority.
To sum up, it is idle that will cause trouble, or that nothing will inevitably cause trouble.
There is nothing to do all day, and idle eggs hurt, of course, there will be some right and wrong. However, a truly career-oriented woman is less likely to cheat.
Bai Wenyu and even Bai Wenyan obviously belong to such a woman.
"No, what are you talking nonsense?" Li Xi immediately retorted when he heard that this was the case.
"Really?" Bai Wenyu didn't seem to believe it, and immediately asked a question to confirm with Li Xi.
"Of course it's true, I said Officer Bai, it doesn't matter if you suspect me, even with your sister, it's not good. Li Xi said.
But Bai Wenyu was obviously due to professional habits, and after listening to Li Xi's words, he still stared at Li Xi with distrustful eyes for a moment, and then said, "If not, why did my sister keep mentioning you yesterday and today?"
"Your sister always mentions me?" Li Xi was surprised when he heard it.
Bai Wenyu knew that he had missed his mouth, so he didn't answer, "Anyway, you don't provoke my sister." I told you last time, my sister and Ning Xingwei have a good relationship. ”
"Hey!" I said. Li Xi frowned when he heard this, "You know that Ning Xingwei so well, do you really think your sister is very suitable for him?"
"It's better than you anyway. Bai Wenyu replied.
As soon as he said a word, he immediately felt that this was a little hurtful, and hurriedly explained to Li Xi, "Li Xi, I'm not saying that you are not good, not suitable for my sister." Rather, you see, my sister has been married once and has a child. And you, you have such good conditions, you have never been married, you are so rich, such good conditions, if you are sincere to my sister, do you think anyone will believe it?"
"That's right. Li Xi nodded subconsciously, suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said: "I said, don't divert the topic, what about your sister, what are you talking about me?" I mean, do you think your sister and that Ning Xingwei are very suitable?"
"It's a good fit. Bai Wenyu said: "What's wrong with Ning Xingwei? He has a successful career, he is a few years older than my sister, and like my sister, he got married once, and he doesn't dislike Doudou." Isn't that enough?"
"Okay...... Li Xi was about to continue, but suddenly felt that he was an outsider, involved in other people's things, and debated with the party's sister without the party knowing, is it interesting?
"This is your sister's business, I said Officer Bai, what are you doing so much? Do you still want to make decisions for your sister?"
Bai Wenyu's face turned red when he heard this, and he argued: "Of course I'm for my sister's good." ”
Li Xi asked rhetorically. "How do you know that it must be for your sister's good, what if it hurts your sister?"
Bai Wenyu was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Li Xi continued: "Anyway, if you want to be really good for your sister, then let her make up her own mind, you are a sister, don't want to mix everything up." Of course, I'm just saying it casually, it's just a suggestion, it's up to you to listen or not. ”
These words are quite pertinent, after Bai Wenyu heard it, he immediately fell silent, and he didn't speak for a long time, obviously thinking about Li Xi's words.
Bai Wenyan didn't know what his sister was talking to Li Xi, and when he saw that his sister lowered her head and didn't speak, she couldn't help but greet, "Xiaoyu, Li Xi, have you finished speaking? If it's over, then it's time to leave." (To be continued.) )
