Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 485: A Gift

Xu Xiangbei’s blatant words sparked disdain among the beautiful women, even causing Shen Congru to turn his face away in embarrassment — truly a poor choice of friends, stirring up public anger.

Even Ah Rong couldn’t take it anymore. She patted her leather pocket, and the sound of metal clinking came from within. With a calm tone, she said, "Shameless, if you disgust me any further, I won’t be polite anymore."

Under the disdainful gazes, Xu Xiangbei swallowed back all the flirtatious banter he was about to say. With a smile on his face, he said, "Let’s raise our glasses again. This toast is to lovely Xin Yan, congratulations on wrapping up your first movie perfectly, may you gain fame soon and be known across Jiangnan and beyond."

Ouyang Jiahui and Xiao Lin followed with a toast and laughed, "Haha, wishing Xin Yan to become very popular and get more new roles."

After the banquet dispersed, Gu Xinyan returned to her room and found a colorful gift box with a bright red rose on her bed.

On the box lay a pink envelope emitting the scent of ink, with "To Gu Xinyan" written in flamboyant handwriting, which she recognized at a glance as Xu Xiangbei’s handwriting.

Xu Xiangbei had deliberately used an open, streamlined font similar to English writing, appearing elegant and graceful on the surface, yet still recognizable as text.

"Wishing the fairy goddess to become more beautiful, wear this new dress to tomorrow’s celebration banquet."

Gu Xinyan burst into laughter, realizing it was a gift — a dress meant for her to wear to the celebration banquet tomorrow. She had been worried about what to wear, and Xu Xiangbei, being the ideal boyfriend, solved her immediate concern.

Opening the large gift box, she found a white dress adorned with jadeite diamonds on the chest and a bright red jewelry box inside. Inside the box was a pair of snowflake jadeite diamond earrings and a blue heart-shaped necklace.

White was Gu Xinyan’s favorite color. When Xu Xiangbei first met her, she was wearing a white chiffon dress. Later, at Spring Villa, she often wore white dresses as well.

Her gaze lingered on the blue heart-shaped necklace, which had a thumb-sized blue diamond embedded in the center.

The diamond, cool to the touch, emitted a soft glow and shimmered as if it contained a vast, blue ocean within, astonishing all who saw it. Just this diamond must have cost tens of thousands.

Gu Xinyan gently stroked the dress, finding the fabric exquisite and elegant. It flowed smoothly over her body, especially with the shimmering beads and diamonds sparkling under the light, adding a touch of nobility to her delicate grace.

The dress fit her perfectly as if custom-made, accentuating her beautifully curvaceous figure. Gu Xinyan was surprised to find it was a low-cut evening gown, revealing a generous expanse of her fair chest. Blushing slightly at her alluring reflection in the mirror, she felt shy.

Back when she was filming "Legend of the Sword and Rain Hero," Gu Xinyan would have refused to wear such a slightly revealing dress in public.

But over the past year, from the confined attic, she had stepped into the public eye, frequently performing in front of cameras, receiving guidance from Director Feng, and exchanging experiences with various actors, making her more cheerful and mature emotionally.

She confidently donned the white dress, wearing the pair of snowflake jadeite diamond earrings and necklace, transforming into a Hundred Flowers Fairy from the heavens — light, graceful, enchanting, and alluring.

She almost believed the person in the mirror wasn’t herself but a noble, elegant Elf Fairy from another universe.

Knock, knock, knock, came a knock on the door, followed by Xu Xiangbei’s cheeky voice, "My fairy goddess, do you like the new dress?"

Gu Xinyan opened the door, feeling no longer as immature and restrained as the little girl she once was, yet her cheeks were still flushed, "Thank you for the dress."

Not expecting Gu Xinyan to have already put on the dress, Xu Xiangbei was momentarily stunned, his eyes lighting up, "Wow, I really made the right choice. Hehe, it looks amazing."

Under Xu Xiangbei’s leering gaze, Gu Xinyan’s face turned even redder, her hands almost instinctively wanting to cover her chest. The arms she had raised hesitated and fell back down, as she teasingly retorted, "What are you looking at, haven’t you seen a beauty before?"

Xu Xiangbei swallowed, cheekily raising a pure white cashmere shawl in his hand, "I forgot, when I bought the dress, it came with a cashmere shawl. Hehe, I forgot to give it to you."

Looking at the cape that matched the dress perfectly, Gu Xinyan couldn’t help but laugh. Of course, she knew Xu Xiangbei’s little trick. With this cape, he was trying to conceal her fair and alluring chest. Xu Xiangbei intentionally hid the shawl, wanting her to be exposed to his eyes.

Seeing him give her such an exquisite and beautiful dress, Gu Xinyan tolerated his little scheme, smiling, "I knew you weren’t serious, give it to me."

Thick-skinned Xu Xiangbei grinned cheekily, "Let me help you put it on."

Gu Xinyan didn’t respond, just turned around compliantly. Xu Xiangbei understood, gently draping the cashmere shawl over her fragrant shoulders.

His fingers inadvertently brushed against her swan-like noble neck, feeling Gu Xinyan’s soft, delicate skin carrying a slight warmth like a baby’s, smooth and tender, warming his heart.

Unable to resist, his hands slid down Gu Xinyan’s shoulders to embrace her soft waist, and he kissed her tenderly on her crystal-clear neck.

Feeling Xu Xiangbei’s warm lips, Gu Xinyan trembled all over, yet did not shy away. Instead, she nestled in Xu Xiangbei’s broad and warm embrace. At that moment, time seemed to stop, leaving only the thrilling heartbeats of the two.

The elevator chimed with a ding, the doors slowly opened, and Lu Xiaomei, wearing a floral shirt and carrying a basin of freshly washed grapes, returned. Xu Xiangbei and Gu Xinyan separated as if shocked.

Seeing Gu Xinyan’s outfit, Lu Xiaomei ran over, exclaiming, "Wow, it’s so beautiful, Miss Gu. I wish I could wear such a dress too."

Stopping Lu Xiaomei’s hand from reaching the diamond, Xu Xiangbei glared at her, "Don’t touch, you can’t afford to replace it if you damage it."

Lu Xiaomei could only retract her hand, gazing eagerly with a drooling expression. She chuckled awkwardly and returned to her room, leaving behind, "This dress may be beautiful, but it’s not suitable for me, too revealing."

Although Lu Xiaomei returned to her room, she didn’t close the door, leaving it slightly ajar. Xu Xiangbei and Gu Xinyan both knew she was watching through the crack.
