Page 437 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

"Thank you, but that won’t be necessary."

"Miss Jian, these arrangements were all specified in advance by Mr. Gu, who is a VIP guest for us. It is our duty to follow his instructions."

Mr. Gu...

Ever since she came to Rome, Mr. Gu had disappeared.

Jian Ran nodded and spoke softly, "Okay, I understand."

"Miss Jian, Mr. Gu also arranged a stylist for you. Is it convenient for them to come in now? Or would you rather wait until after you’ve finished eating?"

Jian Ran: "..."

Although Gu Mochen wasn’t present, he had clearly arranged everything in meticulous detail.

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes darkened slightly, then she nodded.

"Yes, let them in."

"Very well... Miss Jian."

...

Gu Mochen had arranged for Jian Ran to have a top makeup artist from Rome. Upon entering, the makeup artist saw Jian Ran delicately eating a dessert and was astonished.

It turned out she was a beauty.

The beauty was exquisite, like a figure in a fresco.

Even without adornment, she was already breathtakingly beautiful.

So it was decided on the spot that a light makeup look would be all Jian Ran needed.

...

Jian Ran quickly took a few bites of the dessert in front of her and spoke softly, "Sorry, I’ll go freshen up and change into the evening gown."

"Of course, Miss Jian."

...

After Jian Ran changed into the evening gown, she had thought the fit might be too small or too large and need adjustments, but it turned out to be exactly her size, a perfect fit.

Jian Ran’s skin was very fair, so, wearing the white chiffon gown, she looked even more radiant and luminous.

Her delicate skin seemed as though it could secrete water with a mere pinch.

The chiffon treatment at the chest was just right, subtly enhancing the beauty of her bust.

The stylist had seen many beauties but had not expected to be so amazed by this Eastern woman’s charm today.

"Miss Jian, you are truly beautiful."

"Thank you."

Jian Ran looked at herself in the mirror, her brows slightly furrowed. Even without makeup, her features were finely crafted.

Jian Ran pursed her lips...

Should she be thankful to her mother for the good genes?

"Miss Jian, please have a seat, I will start your makeup."

"Thank you for your trouble."

...

By the time Jian Ran’s makeup was fully applied, and her jewelry was in place, the stylist was absolutely astounded by her transformation.

She looked as if from a fairy tale.

"Miss Jian, it’s been an honor to do your makeup."

Gazing at the impeccably mannered Italian in front of her, Jian Ran replied softly, "That’s something I should be saying. Thank you for your efforts."

"All right... Mr. Gu has arranged for a car to wait for you at the entrance."

Gu Mochen, he truly had prepared everything in advance.

A glimmer of emotion flashed through Jian Ran’s eyes as she picked up the phone beside her, intending to call the man, but after a moment’s thought, she set it down.

...

At 8 o’clock in the evening, Jian Ran was taken directly to the Royal for Bon’s banquet.

The Royal Hotel was resplendent, its grand hall capable of holding nearly 2000 people, and one of the iconic buildings of Rome.

As she entered the hall, crystal chandeliers glimmered brilliantly, casting a bright sheen.

Jian Ran had expected someone from the Gu Family to accompany her, but found herself alone.

Even...

Looking around, she was the only person of Chinese descent.
