After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 128 - 91: You Look Beautiful Today (Second Update)

Chapter 128: Chapter 91: You Look Beautiful Today (Second Update)

If it weren’t for everyone present knowing that they were a father and daughter, they would have only remarked that they were a perfectly matched couple with their looks and temperament.

Unfortunately, that’s not the case.

A number of married individuals present felt a pang of envy.

They were all around the same age and had children. How could Ning Yi look so young and handsome without a trace of aging?

The woman who marries him is blessed indeed!

Many of the noblewomen present, in tacit agreement, glanced disdainfully at their husbands’ protruding bellies before turning toward Xia Youqing and Ming Jinxin.

So frustrating, Xia Youqing seemed to have taken an elixir, appearing as beautiful as a girl in her prime.

Even though Ming Jinxin was pregnant, only her belly was bigger; her slender limbs and waist remained unchanged.

Swallowing their envy, the noblewomen started to chat jovially with them from a distance:

"Qingqing, long time no see, and still as beautiful as ever," said Noblewoman A.

"You too." Today, Xia Youqing was dressed in a fuchsia haute couture gown, standing confidently in 12 cm nude heels, radiating striking beauty and stealing the spotlight.

"What’s your secret to maintaining such a look?"

"A friend in my circle recommended a good beauty salon. If you want, I can recommend it to you."

"Sure, absolutely."

"Is this your youngest son? He’s so cute." Noblewoman B looked at the little boy sitting next to Xia Youqing, dressed in a tailored suit and as adorable as a porcelain doll, feeling even more unjust.

"Yes, takes after me." Summer Actress was always confident about her looks, not a hint of modesty.

"..."

Someone without much tact asked, "I haven’t seen any new films from you this year. Are you planning to stay at home and take care of the child?"

Xia Youqing elegantly tucked a few strands of loose hair behind her ear, her smile unchanged: "My husband Xie advised me not to stress out over work. I can pursue the projects I like but should cut back on the number of films, focusing more on quality. It’s about excellence, not quantity. I’m waiting for a good script to win another best actress award."

"..."

After Xia Youqing finished speaking, many of the noblewomen beside her chuckled quietly.

Who in this city of Jin doesn’t know?

This woman of low tact was a retired actress.

She left the industry after marrying her current wealthy husband.

Speaking of her husband, his family background wasn’t as deep as the old-money Ning family, nor did he earn as much as self-made Xie Baosheng, yet he boasted of being noble, with many bad habits, not allowing his wife to work publicly.

After marriage, although she appeared glamorous, she felt constrained and less comfortable than when she was an actress.

As a noblewoman in Jin city, she couldn’t be more envious of Xia Youqing.

...

After Ning Yi and his daughter finished their dance, it was time for the guests to join in.

Xu Wei, who was seated, put his phone in his suit pocket, got up, and approached Fang Han to invite her to dance. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

He had just received a WeChat message from Fang Han asking if he would dance the first dance with her.

The Xu and Fang families had long-standing ties. At an event like this, he couldn’t refuse her and risk embarrassing a girl, so he suppressed the slight regret in his heart.

In everyone’s eyes, it appeared that after the Ning family father-daughter team finished the opening dance, the young master of the Xu family took the initiative to invite the young lady of the Fang family for the first dance.

This pair was quite noticeable, being aligned both in status and looks.

With Xu Wei and Fang Han leading the way, many younger guests started inviting their dance partners to join them on the dance floor.

The lively atmosphere in the banquet hall continued to bubble with excitement.

While the young folks spun on the dance floor, the older generation mingled, toasting, drinking tea, discussing projects, and building connections.

...

Xu Wei and Fang Han soon finished their dance. After coming offstage, Fang Han, a bit sweaty, headed directly to the restroom to freshen up.

Xu Wei seized the festive moment to approach the girl he had long been thinking about.

"You look lovely today." Holding a glass of champagne, he gazed at her with gentle eyes full of admiration.

From a distance, she was radiant like the rising summer sun, dazzling and glorious.

Normally, when he saw her on campus, she was either in her school uniform or dressed in simple colors. Although her looks were stunning, her gentle nature made her seem like a kind, mellow moon, as if lacking any sharp edges.

He always thought that the world’s gentle hues were tailor-made for her.

Until he saw her today, dressed in red after she entered the hall.

Only then did he realize she was even more dazzling than usual.

Utterly captivating.

"Thank you." The stunning young girl gave a faint smile.

"When is my sister not beautiful?" Xia Dai and Shi Wangyue came over at this moment.

"Today she is especially lovely."

Xu Wei chuckled, glancing at Xia Dai.

Unconsciously, his gaze fell on the young man beside him, who looked particularly noble today.

"Wangyue."

Yet, the girl gave him only a polite smile before picking up a snack from the table and casually handing it to him, "Have you tried this? It’s really delicious."

The young man’s previously silent expression immediately broke into a smile.

The smile was like the gentle glow of the moonlight illuminating a bustling city and the serene spring hues filling the evening town.

Shi Wangyue extended his distinctly bony hand, took the delicate pink and white dessert from the girl’s hand, placed it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly, remarking, "Delicious."

Seeing this, the girl’s smile grew even more brilliant.

Many present were already watching Ning’s daughter, and when Xu Wei and Xia Dai brought over a young yet unfamiliar but handsome boy, they paid even closer attention to this corner.

"Whoa, who is that? A relative of the Ning family?" Boy A was stunned to see the precious Ning daughter offering food to the unknown boy.

"Seems not." Girl A, whose family had close ties with the Ning family, shook her head.

"A boyfriend then?" Boy B guessed in shock.

"No, that’s Shi Wangyue, the academic prodigy from our school, a friend of Ning Youguang," explained Girl B, also a student at Diein.

"Friend?" The boys were astonished.

He gets treated better than my girlfriend treats me?!

Do I have a misunderstanding of friendship?!

The boys began to question themselves.
