The compliment was so cheesy even Little Yichen detected the insincerity in her words .
In the tense and stifling silence of the dressing room, the praise sounded fake and awkward .
There was no competition or comparison at all .
Yun Shishi was able to wow everyone present when she was wearing the gown earlier . Mu Wanrou who was now dressed in the same gown was greatly overshadowed .
The dress was elegant and sophisticated, yet it looked unbearably tacky on Mu Wanrou’s body .
Yun Shishi had a good figure, with her slim waist, slender long legs, elegant shoulders, and exquisite collar bones . The gown was able to accentuate all these assets with just the right touch .
As for Mu Wanrou, she just did not have the right figure to carry off this gown . Her voluptuous figure looked vulgar and crude in the dress .
Mu Yazhe opened his eyes to have a look and immediately felt disgusted at the sight of her .
He recalled how incomparably magnificent Yun Shishi had looked in this gown; it was a sharp contrast from what he was seeing now .
There was a long silence before Alan launched his perfunctory praise, “Young Mistress Mu, you look… good in this dress!”
Mu Wanrou’s face turned dark at his phony compliment .
Unhappily looking at the dull and awkward faces of those around her, she forced out a smile and asked, “Why? You mean I don’t look good in this, right?!”
Han Yuyan smilingly replied, “You look good . Beautiful and elegant . ”
Her words sounded hollow, though, as she truly did not know what else to praise .
It was in woman’s nature to compete and envy; Mu Wanrou would not allow Yun Shishi to outshine her .
Little Yichen was still young and did not understand the need for hypocrisy . He frowned and said, “Mommy, you don’t look good in that!”
Han Yuyan’s mouth twitched ever so slightly . Why is this child so honest and direct?
Mu Wanrou almost threw up at his next words . “That pretty sister looks better in this gown! This dress doesn’t suit mommy, so it’s better if you change into another one!”
Her face looked more terrible now .
Han Yuyan tried to lessen the blow with a smile . “He’s just a child . He doesn’t know what he’s saying . Young Mistress Mu does look good in that dress . ”
“Hmph! You are so good at bootlicking . Are you trying to embarrass my mommy at the reception tonight?” Little Yichen harshly retorted when his taste was questioned .
His words really infuriated Han Yuyan . Fearing that Mu Wanrou would take his words seriously, she quickly clarified, “Young Mistress Mu, I did not have such a thought!”
Mu Wanrou ignored her . She walked toward Mu Yazhe and asked with a smile, “Zhe, do I look good in this dress?”
She insisted on an answer from him . It did not matter what others think; his approval would beat all the praises from anybody . She had been disgraced, but his one word would salvage the situation . If he said she looked good, no one would dare say otherwise!
His words were like edict that none had the courage to refute .
Mu Yazhe slowly raised his head and looked at her . Seeing that there was no admiration and only intolerance in his eyes, Mu Wanrou’s heart turned cold .
