Huang got off the bed and opened her closet. Some of her clothes were in there; the rest were in the luggage outside.
She wanted to find a pale pink shirt to wear. However, she couldn’t find it. Besides black and grey clothes, there wasn’t any other colored clothing in her drawer.
Huang Ying spat secretly. Ever since she had married Xu Cheng’s father, it was as if there was no longer color in her life, not even different colored clothing. Each time she wanted to wear something that was brightly colored, she would be criticized by her family members, who would say that she was not dignified and calm!
From a young age, she had been forced to dress like an old person. Now that she really was old, even if she wanted to wear something brightly colored, she couldn’t be bright.
She thought about how, during dinner, Wang Yazhi had worn a beautiful red dress and refined makeup. Her jet black hair did not have a single white strand and was pulled up grandly, making her look beautiful and sexy. Huang Ying also remembered that Ruan Qishan’s eyes had been on Wang Yazhi the entire time. He was already so old and yet, his eyes were like that of a young man who was looking at his beloved woman. That kind of gaze made Huang Ying’s heart feel stuffy and made her want to tear her eyes out. She really didn’t want to see that.
Looking in her closet, she realized she didn’t have a single proper looking item of bright-colored clothing. She didn’t even have a single dress.
She remembered that in the past, when she and Ruan Qishan were dating, Ruan Qishan had told her that she looked good in pink.
“This can’t do! Today, I must find something pink to wear!”
Suddenly, Huang Ying remembered that Xu Cheng had a pale pink dress. Although it wasn’t bright pink, it was close enough.
Huang Ying thought this and went straight to Xu Cheng’s room.
In the room, Xu Cheng was currently researching news about Ling Tianya’s latest work on her computer. Huang Ying didn’t knock and walked straight in.
Xu Cheng closed her computer and looked at Huang Ying unhappily. “Mom, why didn’t you knock?”
Huang Ying looked at Xu Cheng’s computer and unpleasantly said, “You are my daughter. Do I need to knock to come into your room? Or were you looking at something you shouldn’t be looking at and don’t want me to know?”
Xu Cheng was angry. “What would I be looking at that I shouldn’t be? I’m not that kind of unrestrained woman. But knocking before entering is the most basic form of respect. Our Xu family is a family with a literary reputation. How can you forget such basic manners? If Father was here, he would definitely scold you.”
At the mention of Xu Cheng’s father, Huang Ying furrowed her brows.”Your father died so many years ago. Why are you mentioning him? Also, it is for his sake that I have restrained myself throughout my life and do not have any interesting things to focus on. Now, stop scolding me about the Xu Family behavior.”
“Why did you come into my room?” Seeing that she could not make Huang Ying understand, Xu Cheng gave up.
“I remembered that you have a pale pink dress. Where is it?” As Huang Ying spoke, she went to Xu Cheng’s close and reached out to open it.
Xu Cheng felt that her privacy was being intruded upon, and she walked over and pulled Huang Ying’s hand back. “Mom, what are you doing!”
“I want to find your pale pink dress.”
“Why are you looking for that dress?”
“To wear it!”
“Who’s wearing it? You?” Xu Cheng thought that she was hearing things.
“Yes, I’m going to wear it.” Huang Ying directly nodded. “I want to wear something that is brightly colored.”
