Chapter: 2739
He Zhiqiu opened the package and found two individually wrapped plastic bags inside. As she looked at the two pure black pieces of clothing with lace edges, her face flushed with embarrassment.
She had suspected they were underwear, but she didn’t expect them to be so fancy. He Zhiqiu was a practical person who preferred comfortable, fitted clothes in solid colors. To her, comfort was the most important thing.
However, Charlie Wade had bought these for her, and there were no other options available. She sighed, thinking, “I need something to wear before going out. My personal belongings are all in the United States, and some of my luggage is in Syria. I didn’t bring anything back home, so I’ll have to wait until I see my father to buy more clothes.”
Feeling shy, she decided to open one of the pieces Charlie had bought. This one was a top, so her first instinct was to check the size.
Usually, she avoided clothes that showcased her figure. Although she was 1.7 meters tall with a stunning body, she rarely wore anything revealing. In college, her attractive figure had drawn unwanted attention from suitors, making her life difficult. Because of this, she opted for loose clothing in the summer and avoided skirts that were above her knees to keep her figure hidden.
He Zhiqiu looked at her slender legs and sighed. In winter, she bundled up so much that her figure was completely hidden. This made Charlie Wade mistakenly think she had a different body shape. He assumed she had a small chest and bought her the smallest size, an A cup. In reality, He Zhiqiu needed at least two sizes larger.
When she tried on the dress Charlie bought, she was shocked. “Is my figure really that well-hidden? How could he underestimate me like this?” she wondered. “Wearing this would be so tight I can hardly breathe!” She sighed again, realizing that her reluctance to show off her body might have led to this misunderstanding with Mr. Ye. “I thought I was being modest,” she thought.
After taking a deep breath, she decided to try on the dress anyway. She opened another bag and pulled out a piece of clothing that looked as thin as a butterfly’s wing. As she held it up, she gasped and instinctively tossed it aside, her face flushing hot. Her heart raced.
“How could Mr. Ye buy something like this for me? It’s way too revealing!” she muttered, feeling embarrassed. “Did he not realize? But he must have seen the style before buying it. How could he not notice?” She paused, considering, “Or did he do it on purpose? But why would he choose something like this?”
“Is this underwear for me?” He Zhiqiu thought, feeling uneasy. She glanced at the piece of clothing she had tossed on the floor and was sure she would never wear something so disgusting.
But then she changed her mind. “If I don’t wear this, I have no other choice! It’s unacceptable to wear something dirty or to go without.” She realized that this was just barely acceptable.
With that thought in mind, she stopped wondering about Charlie Wade’s reasons for giving her the underwear. Gritting her teeth, she picked up the discarded item.
Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang in Charlie Wade’s room. When he opened the door, he was greeted by a completely new He Zhiqiu.
