It’s so cool to collect cards in a love game, right?

Chapter 40, But this is a game
But this is a game!

The plot has been pushed to this point, should we escape?
What's there to be afraid of?Isn't it just a game?She is a player!

Coward what?
With this in mind, Shen Linger took Saitama to the nearest high-end dress store.

This store is also part of the Lu Group, so the clerk recognized Shen Ling'er at a glance.

The store manager quickly rushed over to receive Shen Ling'er in person, and based on her needs, he came up with three sets of dresses to choose from.

They are all very exaggerated styles.

The first set has a wide open placket, and the V-neck is so deep that it almost reaches the navel.

The second set is a large slit that goes directly to the armpits.

Shen Ling'er felt her eyes darken and walked to the third set. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with it, but upon closer inspection, this one was the most excessive.

This piece has a semi-see-through design. Wearing it is no different from wearing a bikini with a layer of tulle covering it, and the entire back is exposed until the groin.

Shen Ling'er was silent for a long time and said to the store manager: "Sister, do you think it would be a bit inappropriate for me to go out dressed like this?"

The store manager said quickly: "But isn't it that the young lady is going to the No. [-] annex of the Zhong family today? If you don't dress like this, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get in."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Shen Ling'er didn't believe it, because: "I saw Xu Xiuhui today, and she seemed to be going there. But I don't think she was dressed up that exaggeratedly!"

Xu Xiuhui just dressed a little more colorfully, with gems and bright diamonds all over her body. Overall, she looked too ostentatious, but everything else was normal.

It's not as revealing as the three dresses the store manager took out.

We are all rich and powerful, attending a charity auction, but why do we dress up like people who have fallen into the dust?
The store manager quickly understood Shen Ling'er's thoughts and persuaded with a smile: "Young madam, you misunderstood. The dresses you see in front of you are a little cooler, but they are just basic styles! After you put them on, It also needs to be matched with a lot of jewelry, accessories, etc. When the makeup is finally set, it will probably look like this. Look!"

Shen Ling'er quickly saw the schematic diagram of the finished product in the store manager's hand and found that it was indeed different from what she thought.

The final makeup photo only looks elegant and luxurious, without revealing anything at all.

The main thing is that the matching jewelry and accessories can be used for clever concealment.

When Shen Ling'er raised her head to examine the three sets of dresses, she suddenly realized, "So the design of these dresses is to make it easier to match more jewelry and accessories?"

The store manager smiled and nodded, waiting for Shen Linger's choice.

In the end, Shen Ling'er chose the third set because it also had a shawl as an accessory, which could better make up for the "flaw" of its backless look.

As for the first two sets, although they each have their own coverings, Shen Ling'er always feels that they are not as practical as a shawl.

It was still two hours before eight o'clock, so Shen Ling'er naturally started to put on makeup.

When she changed into her dress, the young lady who was doing her makeup saw her slightly bulging belly. She was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Young lady, you are so lucky! You have it so soon!"

"?" Shen Ling'er was also stunned for a moment and glanced at her belly that was swollen due to eating. She knew that the other party had misunderstood.

But she didn't explain.

Shen Ling'er felt that instead of being misunderstood that she was pregnant, it would be more embarrassing to be known to be greedy.

After all, what she was greedy for was not a good thing, just a bowl of noodles.

It's just a game anyway, so even if there are rumors, what does it matter?

Moreover, even if it is a rumor, pregnancy is better than being full, right?

Well... Shen Ling'er thought so.

Because she mistakenly thought that Shen Ling'er was pregnant, when matching shoes, the store manager specially chose flat shoes.

Shen Ling'er thought of Xu Xiuhui's outrageous attitude and asked, "Is it really okay to wear flat shoes?" The store manager nodded and said, "As long as they are gorgeous and extravagant enough."

So, this Zhong family really only looks at clothes but not people!
After washing and dressing up, the store manager gave Shen Ling'er three exquisite half-face masks.

"What does this mean?" Shen Ling'er asked.

The store manager said: "In order to protect the privacy and safety of customers, the auctions held by the Zhong family have always had a tradition of requiring participants to wear masks."

"Just wearing a mask, can it really protect privacy and security?" Shen Ling'er was very surprised: Does this game have such a weird setting?Does that mean that as long as you wear a mask, you won’t recognize acquaintances when you meet them?

To be honest, when Shen Ling'er was watching TV series before, it was quite strange. Why couldn't other people recognize the heroine in it because she only wore a veil with excellent see-through effect?
Are you really blind?

Or is it too simple?
Anyway, Shen Ling'er would feel embarrassed every time she saw it.

Now, it was finally her turn to experience this embarrassing thing for herself.

Just thinking about that scene, Shen Ling'er started to dig the soles of her shoes with her toes in embarrassment.

Shen Ling'er thought that she must be able to recognize an acquaintance.

So when the time comes, should we pretend we don’t know him?

Do you want to cooperate with their performance?
This is really a problem!

Time passed by minute by minute.

Putting on makeup is really a waste of time.

Shen Ling'er arrived at the store before six o'clock, and it took nearly two hours to sit here.

When Lu Zhehan came to pick her up at 07:30 on time, he waited for her for another 10 minutes.

Shen Ling'er went to see Lu Zhehan's dress and suddenly felt so disappointed.

Because he was still dressed in a suit and had no characteristics.

Lu Zhehan felt the disappointment in Shen Ling'er's eyes and explained: "The Zhong family's requirements are only for female companions. Men only need to wear suits and masks."

"Does the Zhong family have a grudge against women?" Shen Linger blurted out.

Lu Zhehan thought for a while and told her: "Probably not, because the head of the Zhong family has always been a woman. Women should not make things difficult for women."

Shen Ling'er curled her lips and expressed that it was difficult to agree with this point of view.

Because in her opinion, just this weird rule is already making things difficult for women.

"Since it's not difficult for women, why can men just wear a suit, but we women have to put so much effort into dressing up?" Shen Ling'er expressed her dissatisfaction.

Lu Zhehan didn't answer the call, maybe because he didn't know how to answer it.

When it was almost over, Lu Zhehan said: "I'm sorry, there is something I must get at this auction. I'm sorry for you, I won't take you to such an occasion again next time."

After that, Lu Zhehan put on the mask, picked up the invitation and handed it into Shen Linger's hands.

Shen Ling'er was quickly attracted by a line of small words on the invitation letter.

It was a very standard line of small regular script with hairpin flowers, bypassing all the colors and patterns on the invitation, and it clearly said:

[Don’t take off the mask, you will die if you don’t obey! 】
