I Was Supposed to Be the Villainess, Now You're Telling Me I'm the Female Lead? - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Purple is the Most Elegant Color

***

In the narrow room, the two people were pressed together almost like they were glued to each other.

Feeling the soft touch in her hands, the slender waist that seemed like it could be completely encircled with just one hand, taking advantage of the opportunity to measure her body, she had almost touched every part of Bai Ning’s body with her hands. She was nearly unable to suppress herself anymore.

She hadn’t expected that while she originally thought Bai Ning had a flat figure, it turned out that Bai Ning was actually quite well-endowed.

Too bad they were in the store, even if Nan Zha wanted to do something, she couldn’t.

Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, she turned around and said with feigned composure.

“Alright, that’s enough. I’ve finished measuring.”

After saying this, she didn’t pay any more attention to Bai Ning, turning around with the measured data and walking out.

She was afraid that if she stayed inside any longer, she wouldn’t be able to control herself and would do something strange. She also didn’t want Bai Ning to see the blush on her face.

Walking outside, Nan Zha breathed in a big gulp of fresh air, feeling that she had calmed down considerably.

She didn’t know why, but every time she was with Bai Ning, there was always some inexplicable feeling in her heart. When she saw Bai Ning smiling and staring at her, she wanted to bully Bai Ning mercilessly, wanting to see Bai Ning’s tearful expression.

Just thinking about Bai Ning being bullied by her until she had a tearful face filled her heart with excitement.

Like a child with something they like, full of possessiveness, she knew this emotion was wrong.

This was just like being a female pervert, and the psychologically twisted kind of pervert at that.

If it weren’t for Nan Zha’s consistently good self-control, she probably would have already exposed herself in front of Bai Ning.

Outside, the store clerk had also finished measuring Xia Zhichu’s figure and was recording the requirements for Xia Zhichu’s custom dress. Upon seeing Nan Zha come out, the clerk first looked apologetic.

“Sorry, Miss Nan Zha, thank you for your trouble.”

Meanwhile, Xia Zhichu, seeing the faint blush still visible on Nan Zha’s face, smiled slightly with a meaningful expression.

Looking at Xia Zhichu’s strange smile, Nan Zha first rolled her eyes at her, then replied to the clerk.

“It’s no problem. These are the measurements I just took. You can custom-make 5 or 6 banquet dresses for her. Make one first, I’ll pick it up tomorrow.”

Nan Zha didn’t feel it was any trouble at all. She even wanted to do it again.

“Yes, yes. Do you have any requirements for colors and styles?”

The clerk nodded repeatedly, then pointed to the circle of clothes around them.

Nan Zha surveyed the clothes and styles around her, thinking in her mind about colors and styles that would suit Bai Ning.

“This one, this one, and this style.”

After pondering for a moment, Nan Zha pointed to several light-colored outfits. With Bai Ning’s lively personality, light colors would be better.

Just as she was selecting the final piece, Bai Ning had finally finished organizing her clothes and walked out of the room.

Her still-flushed little face showed that her mood was not calm at this moment.

Although her little head was still lowered, she would occasionally glance toward Nan Zha’s direction, pursing her lips. Her little face seemed to carry a hint of dissatisfaction, but due to Nan Zha’s threats, she could only glare with her eyes, like an angry little kitten.

This appearance of wanting to be angry but not daring to be angry made Nan Zha feel a bit amused.

However, even if Bai Ning really activated thorny dragon mode, in her eyes she would still just be a cute little cake.

However, occasionally teasing Bai Ning also felt quite nice.

Nan Zha’s eyes turned, thinking that there was still one color style she hadn’t chosen. She looked around, and when she saw a particular dress, her eyes lit up. She turned to smile at Bai Ning.

[Nan Zha is happy, feedback value +96]

Oh no, this is bad.

Bai Ning naturally also saw Nan Zha’s meaningful smile. She had been somewhat angry before, but after hearing the system notification, her heart was suddenly filled with unease.

“Let’s go with this one. It looks like it should suit Bai Ning quite well.”

Taking down a dress from a nearby clothing rack, she held it up to compare with Bai Ning, nodding with satisfaction while smiling.

Compared to Nan Zha’s happiness, Bai Ning really couldn’t smile at this moment.

It was a puff-sleeve dress with ultra-high saturation death Barbie pink mixed with ruthless charm purple, featuring a huge butterfly bow.

The corner of Bai Ning’s mouth twitched slightly, and she looked at the dress with a somewhat vacant gaze. She was beginning to wonder if she had developed yin-yang eyes, otherwise how could she see something so cursed in the world of the living.

Just as she was about to shake her head in refusal, Nan Zha’s eyes, full of unclear meaning, glanced over.

“It seems Bai Ning also likes it very much, right?”

“R-right?”

“Hmm?”

Bai Ning really couldn’t imagine herself wearing this dress. She had originally wanted to fight for it, but Nan Zha’s sudden sidelong glance made her immediately change her tune.

“Yes, yes, absolutely right, sister. How did you know I love purple the most? Purple is the most elegant color!”

Her eyes instantly became determined, and her little head nodded up and down like a bobblehead toy.

System: [Wow, this face-changing act and no penalty, isn’t this being fake?]

Bai Ning: “Shut up, this is called ‘the wise submit to circumstances.'”

Although she was smiling on the surface, she was cursing Nan Zha in her heart.

Damn woman, just you wait.

When she gets stronger in the future, she’ll definitely make Nan Zha wear this kind of outfit and crawl on the ground every day to massage her feet.

Looking at Bai Ning’s forced smile and hearing her insincere words, the corner of Nan Zha’s mouth slightly curved upward.

“Oh, this one seems to look better than the previous one.”

As if suddenly discovering something, Nan Zha pulled out another dress from the clothing rack.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ning immediately looked over. It was a very normal beige dress without any strange exaggerated decorations.

“Yes, yes, this one is indeed beautiful. Let’s go with this one.”

Speaking hurriedly, Bai Ning was really scared now, afraid that Nan Zha would pull out some other strange dress for her.

Seeing Bai Ning’s expression, Nan Zha smiled and didn’t continue teasing her, instead indicating to the nearby clerk that this was it.

She was just teasing Bai Ning, naturally she wouldn’t really want that purple dress. Even she couldn’t appreciate that color scheme.

“Alright, let’s go with this then. Make one first, I’ll come pick up one tomorrow. Price is not an issue.”

After discussing the timing with the nearby clerk, Nan Zha nodded in response to Xia Zhichu and pulled Bai Ning toward the exit.

Having rare free time, she couldn’t just spend it on custom-making clothes.

After walking out, Bai Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt like every second spent with Nan Zha was torturous. But fortunately, now that the dress was custom-made, there should be nothing else. Nan Zha, being such a big CEO, surely had other business to attend to.

In a little while, after Nan Zha left, she could happily go home and play.

“Go upstairs, there are other things to do.”

But the voice from beside her made Bai Ning’s light steps falter.

Bai Ning wasn’t happy anymore.
