Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 78: The Three of Us Have a Good New Year More Than Anything Else

Qiao Chuchu sat in front of the makeup mirror, watching herself slowly transform into a more polished version under the stylist’s work.

The makeup artist said, "Alright, Miss Qiao, are you satisfied with the look?"

The makeup artist skillfully highlighted her best features, focusing on her beautiful eyes and lips. Paired with the black matte evening gown, the look exuded a misty, ethereal lightness—elegant, not overly seductive.

Qiao Chuchu stood up, holding the skirt and said, "Thank you, you did a beautiful job."

She picked up the cash red envelope she had prepared beforehand. "It includes not only the styling fee but a little extra as a tip. Thank you for your hard work. Happy New Year!"

The makeup artist was overwhelmed with surprise. The thick stack clearly had quite a bit more than expected.

This young lady was so generous!

She took the envelope with both hands, beaming, "It wasn’t hard at all! It's just that Miss Qiao’s eyes are like gems, so rare and beautiful. It was really easy to work with them. Please be careful, I’ll help you walk."

The makeup artist gently held her arm and carefully escorted her to the door of the makeup room.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Qiao Yue, wearing a black fitted evening gown, stormed in.

"I’ve been waiting in line for so long! I should be next!"

She glanced over and collided with Qiao Chuchu, her displeasure turning into a flash of surprise. "Qiao Chuchu, what are you doing here? Are you attending the ball tonight too?"

Qiao Chuchu didn’t answer and coldly brushed past her, leaving.

As she closed the door, she clearly heard Qiao Yue’s frustrated command to the makeup artist: "Hey, the stylist! You have to make me look better than that girl you just styled. Got it?!"

Meanwhile, on the top floor suite, Wei Sheng Wen Zhan and Pei Youchuan changed into their suits and stepped out of their respective rooms.

Both were dressed in well-tailored, sharply pressed black suits. However, Pei Youchuan wore a black shirt underneath with a sharp-collared suit jacket that accentuated his already dominant charisma.

Wei Sheng Wen Zhan, in contrast, wore a white shirt with a vest underneath, completing the three-piece set. Though their heights were almost identical, their auras were starkly different.

One had a composed, yet overwhelming presence, while the other wore his black suit to try to suppress his unruly nature, but it was still impossible to hide.

They both stood by the elevator.

Wei Sheng Wen Zhan glanced behind Pei Youchuan, noticing that Qiao Chuchu wasn’t there, but said nothing.

Pei Youchuan, hands in his pockets, looked ahead. "Your sister didn’t wear the evening gown you picked for her."

Wei Sheng Wen Zhan wasn’t surprised. "Is it that she didn’t wear it, or that she didn’t see it?"

"She didn’t see it." Pei Youchuan sneered coldly. "The halter-neck, open-back, slit all the way to the backside... I saw it and immediately tore it up. I didn’t think about whether you’d be upset. If you want, send me the receipt, I’ll pay you back."

Wei Sheng Wen Zhan smiled indifferently. "It’s just a dress, no need to reimburse."

Pei Youchuan smirked in a sarcastic tone. "Yeah, a dress is worthless, but you sending a young girl such an open-back dress at your age, that’s not just gifting clothes, that’s harassment."

Wei Sheng Wen Zhan remained calm, his voice steady. "It was careless of me. The dress was chosen by my third sister. She prefers a more sultry style. The fabric of the dress was also kept minimal. My secretary bought it, I didn’t look at the design. I apologize if it made you uncomfortable; that was never my intention."

"But..." Wei Sheng Wen Zhan’s tone became intriguing. "Would a brother feel possessive of his sister’s exposed skin?"

Pei Youchuan looked puzzled. "What?"

Wei Sheng Wen Zhan looked ahead, his lips curling into a knowing smile. "Yu Can usually likes to wear revealing clothes, but no matter how much she exposes, to me, she’s just a family member I’ve grown up with. I never get upset about what she wears. I usually respect her preferences."

Wei Sheng Wen Zhan glanced at Pei Youchuan with a gentle reminder, "If you care this much, it’s easy to give yourself away. Remember to keep it in check."

Pei Youchuan: "..."

He remained outwardly calm, but his fist clenched tightly in his pocket, veins subtly appearing on his forehead.

"Ding!" The elevator arrived.

Qiao Chuchu, holding her skirt, was about to leave when she happened to bump into the two men. "Oh, you two are together!"

They both looked at her, momentarily stunned.

Qiao Chuchu lifted the edge of her skirt and spun around joyfully, "So, what do you think? Do I look good?"

Wei Sheng Wen Zhan, like a cat, lazily narrowed his eyes and said, his tone rising, "Not bad."

She beamed, looking at Pei Youchuan. "How about you?"

Pei Youchuan snapped out of his daze, realizing he had been caught staring.

He cleared his throat, his expression indifferent. "Just so-so."

Qiao Chuchu: "What? Are you blind? I look amazing!"

Wei Sheng Wen Zhan walked into the elevator, casually saying to her, "Yeah, your brother has bad taste. You look really beautiful."

She grinned widely, flashing him a silly smile. "Mr. Wei, you really do have good taste!"

Pei Youchuan, displeased, stepped into the elevator and tugged Qiao Chuchu closer to him. "Don’t stand so close to Mr. Wei. You don’t want to pick up his perfume scent."

Wei Sheng Wen Zhan remained unbothered. "It’s fine. I’m spending the night with Miss Qiao anyway, so it’s normal to pick up a little of my dance partner’s perfume."

Pei Youchuan sneered. "No, Qiao Chuchu is my dance partner. You only get one song with her."

Though he wouldn’t even give her that one song.

Wei Sheng Wen Zhan’s eyes gleamed with a cold light, and he leaned closer to Qiao Chuchu, speaking softly, "I remember we agreed you’d stay with me the whole time. Are you going to go back on your word? Hmm?"

Qiao Chuchu suddenly felt an oppressive pressure! Her skin crawled with goosebumps. "No, it’s just that my brother doesn’t agree. When I said yes to you, it was final."

Pei Youchuan: "?"

Wei Sheng Wen Zhan smiled, offering his arm. "Then please, Miss, take my arm."

Qiao Chuchu felt Pei Youchuan’s gaze burning through her back as she linked arms with Wei Sheng Wen Zhan.

Pei Youchuan let out a cold laugh. "Heh."

Qiao Chuchu stood there awkwardly, sensing that Wei Sheng Wen Zhan was watching her closely.

She looked up, meeting his deep eyes.

Even when their eyes locked, Wei Sheng Wen Zhan’s gaze didn’t shy away, enveloping her with a strange intensity.

It was affectionate.

Like someone gazing lovingly at their most beloved food.

Qiao Chuchu felt confused by the way he was looking at her.

Wei Sheng Wen Zhan happily withdrew his gaze, as if amused, his presence relaxed a little.

Qiao Chuchu felt a chill run down her spine.

【People from the Wei Sheng family are really strange.】

【Though he looks like my son, his personality is so hard to figure out. And isn’t he supposed to have a poker face? Why does he keep smiling at me?】

【Please stop smiling at me, I’m scared!】

Wei Sheng Wen Zhan’s smile faltered, slowly fading.

This entire scene was keenly observed by Pei Youchuan.

He closed his eyes, frustrated, pressing his forehead with his hand.

As Lou Ting-Si said, people from the Wei Sheng family could indeed hear thoughts.

Qiao Chuchu kept calling Wei Sheng Wen Zhan "my son" in her mind, and he still managed to endure it, even enjoying making her dizzy.

Pei Youchuan was feeling more and more irritated.

If he had known, he would’ve sent Pei Che or Pei Bu to come. Either one of them could’ve confronted Wei Sheng Wen Zhan easily.

Suddenly, his sleeve was tugged.

Qiao Chuchu, wearing black lace gloves, grabbed the edge of his sleeve and looked up at him, mouthing, "Are you angry?"

Pei Youchuan didn’t answer but looked at her hand that was linked with Wei Sheng Wen Zhan’s.

His face darkened. He grabbed her free hand and wound it around his arm.

Qiao Chuchu: "?"

Wei Sheng Wen Zhan: "?"

Pei Youchuan exuded an air of "I’ll burn everything down" as he said emotionlessly, "The three of us enjoying New Year together is more important than anything else."

Qiao Chuchu: "..."

Wei Sheng Wen Zhan: "..."
