My Sexy Female CEO

"What are you talking about? I'm changing clothes, not trying to capture a man's heart." Li Xiangmei defended herself, both annoyed and embarrassed.

"Yes, yes, I misunderstood your intention, Xiangmei."

Xiao Qing, not wanting to argue with the bashful Li Xiangmei, casually brushed it off.

Hearing Xiao Qing admit fault, Li Xiangmei felt much better and then leaned in to quietly ask, "Do I really have to dress revealingly and seductively?"

The conversation had been too loud earlier; she was afraid Lin Yifan outside might hear and mistake her for a flirtatious type, so she felt compelled to explain.

Xiao Qing slightly smiled, knowing Li Xiangmei couldn't hide this small thought from her, and responded, "If you want to charm Mr. Lin, then you should dress like that."

"Alright!" Li Xiangmei conceded, but suddenly remembered something: "But I don't have any revealing outfits!"

"Don't you have a low-cut gown at the bottom of your suitcase, Xiangmei? Just wear that!"

Xiao Qing vaguely recalled the low-cut gown that had been stored in Li Xiangmei's suitcase for a while, and immediately thought of it when Xiangmei said she didn't have anything revealing.

"What? That's for formal occasions. Why would I wear a gown in everyday life?" Li Xiangmei questioned.

She had bought the gown for a close friend's wedding, years ago, and she wasn't even sure if it would still fit now.

"Isn't this occasion significant enough? It's a moment for you to show your charm and attract the one in your heart—truly one of life's most important occasions." Xiao Qing explained.

"No way, rumors will spread if I do that."

Li Xiangmei was somewhat concerned because she's quite prideful and couldn't handle being the subject of gossip.

"What are you afraid of? We're not living here anyway. Even if they gossip every day until their mouths go dry, it has nothing to do with us."

"No, I still feel odd. Are there other options?" Li Xiangmei asked.

Xiao Qing was really defeated by Li Xiangmei's shy nature, but perhaps that was one of Xiangmei's strengths; it's exactly why she could attract Lin Yifan and become good friends with her.

Thinking for a moment, she responded: "Don't you have a sky-blue skirt and some flesh-colored stockings, Xiangmei? The sky-blue skirt paired with flesh-colored stockings, along with your naturally collagen-rich face and beautiful hair, is sure to be pure, cute, and charming enough."

"Really?"

As she listened, Li Xiangmei felt a bit embarrassed.

It was a style she had never tried before—wanting to try but not daring to take the plunge.

"Really!" Xiao Qing answered seriously.

"But didn't you say to go for a sexy, revealing style? Why the sudden change to a pure, cute style?" Li Xiangmei asked.

"Since you're such a conservative person, Xiangmei, we'll have to adjust to your character," Xiao Qing replied.

"Who said I'm pure and cute? I can be sexy and alluring too!"

Li Xiangmei disagreed with Xiao Qing's view, although she had already embraced Xiao Qing's clothing suggestion in her heart.

"Yes, yes! Whatever Xiangmei says, she's right!"

Xiao Qing didn't want to argue, as she had already seen through Li Xiangmei's thoughts.

Li Xiangmei was the typical type who wouldn't admit it verbally, but inside had already accepted or was slowly warming up to others' suggestions or opinions.

"So, which style would you like to try, Xiangmei?"

"The pure and cute look, for sure," Li Xiangmei answered.

That style seemed more decent, while the sexy look felt like trying too hard to cover something up.

"Alright then! It's settled! Let me help you get ready, Xiangmei."

Xiao Qing decided to give a little push to facilitate the development of the relationship between Lin Yifan and Li Xiangmei.

"Okay!"

Li Xiangmei didn't refuse because tackling something alone is always faster than doing it with two, and an observer can more easily spot beauty or flaws.

The two women busied themselves in the room, thoroughly enjoying their task.

Outside, Lin Yifan waited, tormented.

He had just instructed them to freshen up quickly, so why were Li Xiangmei and her friend taking so long?

"Ah, women are such slowpokes!"

He was extremely impatient; he knew Qin Zikang would surely report today's events to his father, and once his father found out, he would definitely send the Wudang and Kunlun Sects' bigwigs after him.

The bigwigs moved swiftly, and given that they were close to Mengnei Province, he couldn't afford to wait too long.

Although some of his guesses were a bit off, they were mostly accurate; indeed, influential figures from the Wudang and Kunlun Sects were heading towards Shen'an City.

In recent days, they had been lying in wait in several small deserts in Mengnei Province but hadn't had any results, feeling both frustrated and helpless.

Just as they were contemplating giving up, news came from the Capital Noble Families saying Lin Yifan had appeared in the neighboring province's Shen'an City.

They speculated that the Desert Dynasty might not be within the desert, and that recently Lin Yifan might have acquired the Green Immortal Ring and was rushing towards the Medicinal Saint Valley.

If Lin Yifan were to make it back to Medicinal Saint Valley, it would spell trouble for them. So, without another word, they flew over to intercept him en route.

They had already mobilized all nearby Clan forces in and around Shen'an City to block Lin Yifan's path, prepared to delay him even at the cost of their lives.

The subordinates of the Mu and Zhang Families in Capital City dared not disobey and immediately launched into action.

Upon receiving this information, the Zhao and Qin Families of Capital City also joined the interception team.

With two major Sects leading the way, they weren't afraid; moreover, they harbored deep hatred against Lin Yifan, so they would go no matter what.

The interception forces were scouring the streets for Lin Yifan's whereabouts and were about to reach the Shen'an People's Hospital.

Lin Yifan was beset with challenges, and whether he could make it through safely depended entirely on his luck.

The clothes were soon changed, and Li Xiangmei, standing in front of the mirror, barely recognized herself.

She felt an odd dissonance, not aligning with her current age and personality.

"Xiao Qing, does this really look good?"

"Yes, it looks great! You look ten years younger, and Mr. Lin will surely like it," Xiao Qing responded.

In recent years, Li Xiangmei had been dressing more maturely because she felt she wasn't young anymore and needed to move past being naïve. Little did she know she still had a long way to go before hitting middle age; donning those younger days' clothes still suited her and her aura perfectly.

"Really? Doesn't it seem slightly mismatched? Youthful with a hint of sexiness?"

Li Xiangmei still felt something was off and sought another opinion.

"Not at all, it truly looks beautiful! Besides, who says youth can't be sexy? It just shows you're mature for your age, and many men actually like that about naturally beautiful yet mature women because it adds an element of allure."

Xiao Qing reassured, dispelling Li Xiangmei's concerns.
