Chapter 208 - 207 The Burgundy Dress
At six in the afternoon, everyone were dressed in their best attires.
They were attending a dinner celebratory banquet held in the decorated Events Hall of the campus.
Nathan and the rest were waiting for the girls to finish changing.
Of course, Nathan and the rest were on their best outfit.
There's no specific color theme for the event so they could freely choose the color of their suits and tuxedo.
Mo Jing-sheng was wearing a navy blue customized Armani suit with white shirt underneath, a black bow tie and sapphire cufflinks which was Kelly's first gift to him back when they were still dating.
Hua Zhang Wei wore a customized silver Armani tuxedo and pants with black lining underneath. He paired it with a white polo, black belt and silver colored shoes. He also let his hair to be a bit messy to look fresh.
Unlike Master Hua, Kim Jeong Ho wore a tailor-made black tuxedo and pants with black shirt polo with a button left unbuttoned down on his neck.
Among them, he looked more casual and had a bad boy vibe.
Jin Jie on the other hand was wearing a dark green tuxedo and black pants and he looked exceptionally well with the color.
Nathan, being the center of attention for this event wore a tailor made burgundy tuxedo paired with black tailor made pants, black shirt underneath and black bow tie. He tucked the end of his long-sleeved shirt with a gold Patek Philipe cufflinks completed his entire look with his limited edition black Bolvaint shoes. On his left hand was his Patek Philipe watch and on its ring finger was his wedding band.
They then heard a rustle by the door and this caught their attention.
The door then opened and Kelly went out from it.
The four month-pregnant lady came out wearing a sky blue colored, empire cut, floral chiffon fabric printed vintage dress with plain sky blue color shawl to protect her from the cold.
Underneath, she was wearing a flat shoes.
Kelly looked like a fairy with her dress specially when her hair was tied in waterfall hairstyle with curls on the end.
Celine came out next. She was wearing a knee-length body fit mint green lace with her semi-curled hair left freely on her back.
She was wearing a red lipstick and minimal face make up so everyone's attention would be on her lips. She was carrying a small green clutch to complete her look.
Unlike Kelly, she was wearing a green six-inch shoes to add up to her height.
Everyone was waiting for Eunji to come out so they could finally go.
They were at Hua Zhang Wei's hotel. The one they had dinner with last night.
Finally, Eunji went out and when she did, everyone was blown away upon seeing her.
She was wearing a body fit sexy deep V-neck burgundy, high slit, with see-through back evening gown with a red rose flower design on her upper left chest.
With her hair tied in a messy bun and her popping red lips and neutral eye make-up, she looked like a seductress.
"Oh geez! I told you guys. I won't give justice to this dress!" Eunji complained as soon as she stepped out oblivious to the fact that what she was wearing would make the Satan very jealous tonight.
Oblivious to her, Nathan immediately stood up and removed his tux and wrapped it around her shoulder.
Eunji's porcelain white skin glowed even more with the color of the dress.
"Hubby, this dress have a matching coat. I'll wear them okay? So wear your tuxedo back." Eunji softly told him.
But instead of answering her, Nathan's angry voice echoed.
"What the hell are you wearing? Who choose this dress? If I am not mistaken, this is not the dress I bought for you to wear." Nathan's angry tone was evident.
"Brother, it's only for tonight. That dress you prepared for her won't give her beauty any justice at all! You should be proud that you married a beauty." It was Celine who explained.
It was her idea to change the dress on the last minute.
"But-" Nathan wanted to scold Celine but Eunji stopped him.
"Hubby, it's okay. At least I got the chance to wear this before I gotten bigger for the next months." Eunji said.
"But I thought you didn't like wearing a dress?" Nathan remembered that Eunji hated dresses.
"Well, I still did. But something changed."
"What changed?" Nathan asked.
"I told you that I might opt for a suit instead of a dress. If I wear a suit for tonight instead of a dress, all men would definitely lose their dates." Eunji joked which made everyone left dumbfounded.
'Is that even a valid reason?' Celine questioned Eunji's reason inside her head.
"And if I wear that dress, I would only look elegant and innocent. Many people might not see me fit to be beside you. I am Missus Bai. So I should stand proudly beside you!" She added.
Well, the truth was that it was Celine who asked her to wear this dress. And Kelly supported Celine's request.
***Flashback***
"Eunjichan, are you sure you're going to wear that dress?" Celine asked while looking at the knee length lace dress.
"Yes. Or else I will wear a suit if not this dress." Eunji simply said.
"Seriously?" Celine asked in disbelief.
She then looked at Kelly who was sitting in front of the big mirror with the make up artists and stylists doing her hair and make up done.
Through her reflection, she nodded knowingly.
"Eunjichan, do you know what event are we attending?"
"Isn't it a simple anniversary banquet?" Eunji innocently asked.
"It is if you less the red carpet entrance, media coverage, celebrity guests, honorable guests and other powerful businessmen who wanted to gain collaborations with my brother."
Sighing, Celine sat down on the couch beside the bed as she continued.
"All eyes would be on Nathan-niichan when we walked on the red carpet because he is the man of the night. And as his date, you should look stunning and sexy when you stand beside him."
Seeing that Eunji was frowning while listening to her, she continued.
"That dress may make you look elegant and charmingly innocent. Some might think that my brother chose an innocent and easy to bully woman. But I know you are more than that. You are feisty, strong and independent! You may have been born with a goddess face but you were given a perfectly proportioned body that would make other women envious to death! Therefore, you should show it! Wear the dress that has attitude! And this would fit that." Celine said while unwrapping the burgundy colored lace dress that she was wearing now.
"Isn't that dress too much for me? I don't think I can give that dress any justice at all!" Eunji said after she saw the dress.
"No! You'll look perfect on that. You always look good on red Eunjiyah." Kelly excitedly said.
"Nah, that's not even red. It's burgundy." Eunji refuted.
"Geez! You should wear that or else that bitch Aimee would think that you're a plain wife." Kelly told her which caught Celine's attention.
"Who is this Aimee?" Celine curiously asked.
"He's your brother's ex-girlfriend and she's making a fuss on taking Nathan back even if she herself was legally married to someone." Kelly took the opportunity to answer Celine's question.
"What the!? Then the more reason that you should wear this dress Eunji-chan. Show to that bitch who the real Missus Bai should be!" Celine persuaded even more.
"But..."
"No but more but Eunjichan. If my brother would get mad, I'll take the blame."
Therefore, Eunji had no other choice but to wear the dress that Celine recommended.
But isn't this dress would only make her gain a lot of attention?
But this would only be for a night. After this, she won't be showing up in any public events too soon.
And also, even if a lot of her photos would be taken tonight, tomorrow morning, she would make sure that the images posted won't be a clear angle or clear photo of her face.
Celine was right. If she would keep her attitude of being uncomfortable on wearing long gowns or dresses in general, she would be looked down by the elite and noble women in their circle.
Though they both didn't mind what other people would comment about them, it's still important to keep an image for other people to remember.
As the wife of the most influential man in the business world as of the moment, she should learn to adapt to changes.
It's no longer her anymore. She had Nathan now. So she should not make Nathan to worry about her with this simple matter.
***End of flashback***
Nathan wanted to argue but they would surely be late if Eunji would change into another dress.
Therefore, they decided to leave for the event riding the Rolls Royce Limousine he arranged for all of them to use for tonight. Nathan asked her to not remove the coat she was wearing so she won't get cold inside the hall.
She's pregnant and it's easy for her to get cold.
Because of this, Eunji warmly smiled at him.
When they were near at the main gate of Imperial University, they could see a lot of vans and cars lining up in rows outside.
They could also see camera flashes even in this distance. There were so many people from the press and the media eager to get interviews from the big shots who were also attending on the event. This made Eunji a bit uncomfortable.
She could not stop not to be anxious.
"It's okay. I am here. I won't let anything to happen to you and to our babies."
"En!" Eunji finally calmed down a little bit.
"Em, do you want us to come out first?" Mo Jing-sheng asked the couple as he saw Eunji's anxious face.
Well, it's not the first time that he attended an event with Nathan. And when he did, Nathan would ask him, Jeong Ho and Zhang Wei to go out first and he would come out when the press would be packing their equipment.
So in return, no one or only a few people could take Nathan's photograph in the past.
But now, it was different. He's the most important man that everyone was anticipating to see walking on the red carpet.
"We could also tell them that you're already inside so they won't bother wait for you to walk on the red carpet." Mo Jing-sheng continued.
"Thank you first bro. But I think we can manage. You may go ahead first. Eunji and I will follow behind you guys." Nathan said while giving a gentle kiss on Eunji's forehead.
"Alright!"
