Chapter 1255: Chapter 1254: Stunningly Beautiful Chapter 1255: Chapter 1254: Stunningly Beautiful The day of the birthday banquet soon arrived.

That day, Bai Lan happened to be at home when she saw the words “Hubby” flashing on her phone screen. She took a deep breath and quickly answered the call, “Sheng Ting…”

The slightly subdued and deep voice of Zhou Shengting on the other end said, “Get ready, I’ll come back later to pick you up.”

“…Okay,” Bai Lan immediately agreed.

After hanging up the call with Zhou Shengting, Bai Lan sent a message to her bestie.

Her bestie Xiaomei was a stylist. For such an occasion, she definitely couldn’t afford to lose face, so she decided to ask Xiaomei for help with her makeup and outfit.

When Xiaomei learned that Bai Lan was going to accompany Zhou Shengting to his father’s birthday reception, she immediately selected appropriate attire for her.

After all, it was an elder’s birthday banquet and she would be facing many relatives, so she couldn’t be careless, lest they would gossip.

Xiaomei was an expert in styling, so Bai Lan wasn’t worried at all and left everything in Xiaomei’s hands.

…..

At seven in the evening, Zhou Shengting came to pick up Bai Lan.

Upon seeing Bai Lan, Zhou Shengting was so shocked that his mouth hung open.

He had always known that Bai Lan looked beautiful when dressed up; he had seen her once when they had reunited, and she was already dazzling.

Even when she didn’t dress up, she still looked pleasing to the eye, giving off a very comfortable aura.

Now, with just a little bit of dressing up, she was simply incredible, truly surprising.

Bai Lan was wearing a white gown, her skin fair and smooth, glowing as if it radiated light, her collarbones distinctive, her waist still slender. The gown had a somewhat doll-like style to it, fluffy in appearance, paired with low-heeled white leather shoes, beautifully dignified and elegant, yet with a hint of playfulness.

Although Zhou Shengting had witnessed Bai Lan dressed up before, he was still momentarily stunned at that moment.

He felt her beauty had gained an extra touch.

“What’s wrong?” Noticing Zhou Shengting’s gaze, Bai Lan unconsciously checked herself, fearing there might be some flaw or something inappropriate about her appearance.

After all, it was her father-in-law’s birthday banquet, an important occasion, and any mishap could bring embarrassment to everyone.

Zhou Shengting, snapping out of his daze, hurriedly lowered his head to retract his somewhat unconstrained gaze.

His dark eyes always seemed unfathomable, giving off an inscrutable vibe, or perhaps it was this sense of mystery that attracted Bai Lan to sink into it.

Seeing his slightly embarrassed expression, Bai Lan finally understood he was feeling shy.

That second, Bai Lan fell into a daze, not realizing she had gotten into the car and sat in the passenger seat. She still felt her cheeks warm, somewhat embarrassed, and quickly turned her gaze out the window.

Even though they were husband and wife, they sometimes felt shy.

Zhou Shengting’s hands held the steering wheel, while Bai Lan stole a glance at him. Seeing him focused on the road ahead, driving with serious intent, and his perfect profile so imposing, he truly left no room for criticism.

The car was somewhat quiet.

Noticing Bai Lan’s anxiousness, Zhou Shengting comforted her, “Lan Lan, don’t be nervous, it’s just our family banquet. Just be yourself as usual, you don’t need to feel any burden, understand?”

Zhou Shengting thought about his mother’s actions and felt helpless inside, but he wouldn’t let Bai Lan be wronged. He planned to stay by her side all evening.

That way, there wouldn’t be any worries about other things happening.

However, plans are always ideal, but events often occur suddenly, catching one off guard.
