Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 386 Stunning the Audience

"Girl Ding, do you know that young man?" Leng Mei pointed at Li Zerui, who was in front of Ding Bo and Zhou Ping, and asked Ding Wan’er.

"Who?" Ding Wan’er was startled upon hearing Leng Mei’s words and then saw Leng Mei standing by the window, pointing outside and asking her. It was strange; she knew everyone Sister Leng knew. Who was she talking about? With this thought, she too approached the window to see whom Sister Leng was referring to.

"The one talking to your parents, do you know him?" Leng Mei asked again, more specifically.

"Eh, who is that? I don’t know him, but seeing how familiar he is chatting with my parents, he must be someone they invited. Let it be, Sister Leng, come over and help me again. Let’s finish up quickly and go down; they are all waiting.", Ding Wan’er went back to the vanity and earnestly applied makeup, trying her best to beautify herself. Today was her birthday, and she wanted Lin Feng to forever remember her at her most stunning.

"Sure." Hearing Ding Wan’er say this, Leng Mei too left the window and returned to Ding Wan’er’s side to assist her. However, for some reason, she felt that something was very off about the interaction between Ding Wan’er’s parents and that young man.

...

As the PARTY was about to officially begin, all the guests occasionally glanced towards the villa’s main entrance, waiting for today’s protagonist, Ding Wan’er, to make her appearance and wondering what kind of surprise she would bring.

Just as everyone was abuzz with chatter, the lights suddenly dimmed, and a soft glow illumined the villa’s main entrance. Dressed in a snow-white evening gown, Ding Wan’er, escorted by Leng Mei, made her entrance. She looked as if she had stepped out of a dream, for she was simply too stunning today, causing all to be mesmerized by her beauty.

Ding Wan’er, already possessing a great figure, wore a form-fitting white evening gown that highlighted her silhouette even further. Her exceptionally fair skin was adorned with the pearl necklace given by Huang Shi, which glowed softly under the gentle lighting. All these elements combined to render Ding Wan’er unbelievably gorgeous, like a fairy from the legends. Today, with special makeup and under the unique lighting, she was beyond description.

Wow! So beautiful!

Ding Wan’er...

Is this real or fake?

Ding Wan’er is so pretty...

The guests couldn’t believe the fairy-like girl before them was Ding Wan’er, for she was usually seen in professional attire, always exuding an air of untouchable authority. Thus, once everyone acknowledged Ding Wan’er’s beauty, they didn’t entertain other thoughts, for it seemed futile.

But today was different. It was the first time everyone saw Ding Wan’er in a dress. While they knew she was beautiful, they never imagined that dressed up, Ding Wan’er could be this ravishing. It was an exaggeration, vastly different from the previous impression of Ding Wan’er. Now she conveyed an otherworldly, fairy-like presence.

Even some of the younger guests were filled with an uncontainable desire. Such a woman, any man would wish to possess, for Ding Wan’er’s beauty was beyond conveyance by words now; there were no terms to describe her...

She, she is Ding Wan’er?

When Li Zerui saw the newly-appeared Ding Wan’er, he was utterly dumbfounded. He’s been told by his parents that Ding Wan’er was very beautiful, but he’d never believed it, having seen too many marriages within prominent families focus solely on interests, with slim chances of finding a genuinely attractive, desirable partner. Thus, he hadn’t taken his parents’ words to heart, intent on breaking off the engagement.

Li Zerui could never have dreamed that the fiancée arranged by his parents would turn out to be so beautiful. It wasn’t only about her beauty; her aura was outstanding. No wonder his parents had chosen her for his bride. If he had seen Ding Wan’er beforehand, Li Zerui believed he too would have pursued her.

Now after witnessing Ding Wan’er’s beauty and grace, Li Zerui’s mindset underwent a complete 180-degree turn. No longer did he feel that his parents were depriving him of marital rights; instead, he saw their decision as completely justified. He no longer wanted to speak with Ding Wan’er alone to break off the engagement but rather to court her earnestly, to make her happy and agree to the marriage they’d arranged, and to join him willingly.

It was just one glance at Ding Wan’er, yet it was like a dream. This surreal sensation completely captivated Li Zerui with Ding Wan’er.

Lin Feng was somewhat surprised by Ding Wan’er’s grand entrance. He had always thought she was pretty, but he hadn’t expected her to dress up so magnificently today that it took everyone by surprise. Shedding her earlier corporate powerhouse attire for an exceedingly ladylike white evening gown and a supremely gentle pearl necklace, she accentuated her already fair complexion to a celestial level, her beauty mesmerizing and causing everyone to marvel in awe at her allure,

But now, Lin Feng felt something odd. It was true that today was Ding Wan’er’s birthday, and that Ding Wan’er dressing up more beautifully and lavishly was not wrong. However, the way Ding Wan’er was carrying herself had already exceeded that scope. One could clearly sense that she had put an exceptional amount of effort into her appearance, and Lin Feng couldn’t guess what was so special about today that made Ding Wan’er prepare so earnestly.

Lin Feng hadn’t realized that Ding Wan’er’s extraordinary display of splendor and beauty was all for the sake of making him see her at her most beautiful. What Ding Wan’er hadn’t anticipated was that her meticulous preparations didn’t enchant Lin Feng, but instead captured the heart of Li Zerui, who had originally planned to cancel their engagement. This added to her troubles instead.

"Wan’er, come here. This is Li Zerui, the Young Master of the Prominent Li Family," Zhou Ping said with pride and a sense of prestige, seeing her daughter make such a dazzling entrance. She felt immensely happy since her daughter truly looked too beautiful today, astonishing everyone present. Even Li Zerui from the Li Family across was stunned into immobility. This effect was precisely what Zhou Ping wanted. As long as Li Zerui was pleased with Wan’er, the marriage would be as good as confirmed.

With that thought, Zhou Ping hurriedly summoned Ding Wan’er and introduced her to Li Zerui, hoping to give them a chance to interact more and perhaps foster some affection between them.

Upon hearing her mother call her, Ding Wan’er walked over naturally. However, once there, she found herself being introduced to a tall and sturdy-looking man with a pleasant appearance, which puzzled Ding Wan’er. What did her mother mean by introducing this man to her? Despite her reluctance, she couldn’t disregard her mother’s wishes, so she had no choice but to oblige.

"Hello, and welcome to my birthday party," said Ding Wan’er, her tone flat. Aside from Lin Feng, she had no interest in interacting with any young men, so she made the greeting out of respect for her mother, then immediately planned her escape.

"Hello. It’s an honor to attend your birthday party," responded Li Zerui, who now appeared exceedingly courteous. He couldn’t contain his excitement at having Ding Wan’er in front of him and quickly approached to talk to her.

Seeing Ding Wan’er up close, Li Zerui felt his heartbeat thumping uncontrollably because even her voice was delightful to him, making him feel at ease. Though she only offered a simple, polite greeting, that was more than enough for him.

Li Zerui was completely smitten with Ding Wan’er...

"I’ll go take care of the other guests now," Ding Wan’er said, sensing Li Zerui’s gaze. She had always found such attentions displeasing, so she excused herself from her mother and went to tend to the other guests, showing no concern for her mother’s expectations.

"We’ll be leaving, Auntie," said Leng Mei, who also greeted Zhou Ping before joining Ding Wan’er in entertaining the guests. Leng Mei felt increasingly uncomfortable because, as Zhou Ping introduced the man, it seemed as though she was introducing a boyfriend. Leng Mei had encountered such situations before, but Ding Wan’er had already walked away, negating any potential issue. So Leng Mei quickly followed Ding Wan’er, helping her mingle around the venue.

"Wan’er, Wan’er, come back," Zhou Ping called after seeing Ding Wan’er say a few polite words and leave, intending to call her back. However, despite multiple attempts, she couldn’t get Ding Wan’er to return. This left Zhou Ping feeling very embarrassed, as she had hoped to give Ding Wan’er and Li Zerui more time to get to know each other, but Ding Wan’er had walked away without a care.

"Zerui, don’t mind it. There are many guests today, and Wan’er has to attend to them," Zhou Ping finally said, trying to placate Li Zerui in a gentle manner, hoping he would not take it to heart.

"It’s okay, Auntie. It’s normal for her to be busy with guests on her birthday. I don’t mind at all; please don’t worry," Li Zerui now showed warmth towards Zhou Ping, a stark change from his initial indifference. After all, Zhou Ping was potentially his future mother-in-law, and maintaining good relations could only be beneficial.

Li Zerui had already decided he was Ding Wan’er’s fiance, and no one could change that. A woman like Ding Wan’er was precisely the type he favored most, so he was determined to cherish this excellent match and marry Ding Wan’er as soon as possible to set his mind at ease.

"That’s good to hear. You’re understanding, Zerui."

"Auntie, you flatter me."

"How do you find our Wan’er?"

"Very beautiful and elegant."

"You like her, don’t you?"

...

Zhou Ping and Ding Bo, seeing Li Zerui not dwelling on these matters, felt relieved. They had always heard that people from prominent families were usually quite arrogant, looking down on one or the other, but they didn’t perceive any of that in Li Zerui. So they were pleased to continue chatting with him, eager to know his specific thoughts. They planned to arrange the marriage quickly if Ding Wan’er had no objections, to relieve themselves of this persistent worry.
