My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 850 - 861 Modest Gift

Soon, Zhang Hua’s measurements had been taken as well.

The designer carried her professional case, surrounded by a few assistants, and left.

Zhang Hua watched the departing luxury car. "Looks like this designer is quite a big deal, her outfit and car both have quite the presence!"

Lin Xiangwan smiled. "Just now I heard her assistants calling her Miss Bai, she is actually the top-notch Miss Bai who specializes in designing cheongsams for big celebrities, even for ladies of a certain high status!"

"Cough cough..." Zhang Hua coughed lightly. "I know of her too, I didn’t expect her to be so young, only in her thirties!"

"Yeah!" Lin Xiangwan was especially surprised. "She’s so young, yet she has reached such a position!"

"I heard that she started out altering clothes on set and was discovered by a celebrity who then showcased several of her extraordinary dresses. The celebrity received high praises, and due to the celebrity’s fame, the dresses became memorably popular," Zhang Hua said with envy. "Actually, whether a person becomes successful or not also depends on chance. When the opportunity comes, no matter how much you try to avoid it, it will still be yours!"

Lin Xiangwan blinked, she actually agreed with her mother’s view, that sometimes luck just can’t be stopped.

But still, you can’t just wait for luck to come, right? "Mom, what do you think... You and dad have never been together, but dad has been chasing after you, and now I’m here, would this be considered... unstoppable fate?"

"Him and me..." Zhang Hua scoffed. "Impossible!"

"Why impossible? You’re both living under the same roof; it naturally feels like a family, and we are a family. Why can’t you marry dad?" Lin Xiangwan asked, very anxious.

"That’s because of Tongtong and you, otherwise why would I be here?" Zhang Hua emphasized. "Of course your dad thinks the same!"

Lin Xiangwan muttered dejectedly. "You know what dad is thinking?"

"Of course!"

Lin Xiangwan smiled. "Then the feelings between dad and mom are not just average, are they!"

Zhang Hua blushed. "Anyhow, I’m telling you, don’t keep trying to matchmake me and dad, it’s not going to happen!"

Lin Xiangwan murmured softly. "If it’s not possible, then how come you got so worked up when dad was involved in that scandal last time?"

"I wasn’t worked up!" Zhang Hua denied. "I’ll have you know, I have a boyfriend!"

"Mom, you’ve said that several times now!" Lin Xiangwan felt her ears could grow calluses.

Lin Lijun came home from work and saw the mother and daughter; he smiled happily. "Daughter, your... " He almost let "wife" slip out and quickly corrected himself. "Mom, it’s really great to see you both! Look what gifts I brought for you!"

He took out two paper boxes, both wrapped very beautifully.

Lin Xiangwan quickly took one and felt its weight the moment it was in her hands. "This gift must be quite something, it even has some heft! Dad, may I open it now?"

"Of course, you may!" Lin Lijun nodded in affirmation.

Lin Xiangwan sat on the sofa and began unwrapping the box.

Zhang Hua didn’t reach out for the gift on her own, it was Lin Lijun who forced it into her hands.

If her daughter wasn’t there, she might have accepted it, but now with her daughter present, she had to put on an act. "Don’t want it!"

"Just take it if I’m giving it to you!" Lin Lijun was a bit anxious.

"I said I don’t want it!" Zhang Hua’s tone was anxious as well.

Lin Lijun looked at her intently and threatened in a low voice. "If you don’t take it now, I’ll reveal our relationship to the child!"

"You!" Zhang Hua was angry.

Lin Lijun very annoyingly raised his eyebrows, as if to say, "Hmm, let’s see if you’re obedient."

Zhang Hua wrinkled her nose and smiled as well. "Since you insist on giving it to me, I’ll keep it!"

After speaking, she casually tossed the paper box onto the couch with no intention of opening it to look.

When Lin Xiangwan opened it, she saw a white dress with a very princess-like style. Hmm, it did look very pretty, and any girl would like it.

However, it also depended on age. This was meant for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, not a twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old young woman.

"Daughter, how is it, do you like it?" Lin Lijun asked with particular concern.

Lin Xiangwan, of course, just nodded. "Of course, I love it!"

Lin Lijun was especially happy, feeling that he had an exceptional eye for fashion. "I saw this dress online and then placed an order for it. As soon as I saw this dress, I knew it was perfect for my daughter. My daughter has such fair and delicate skin; the dress complements her beautifully!"

"Oh, Dad, you have really good taste!" Lin Xiangwan complimented him.

Sob sob, such a beautiful dress would probably just hang in the closet.

Tongtong was too young to wear it now, and by the time she grew up, the dress would likely be yellowed.

Such a pity!

After talking with his daughter, Lin Lijun saw that Zhang Hua hadn’t even bothered to look at the gift he gave her; instead, she was fiddling with her phone. "Why don’t you take a look?"

"Look at what?" asked Zhang Hua.

"Just open it and see if you like the gift!" Lin Lijun said in a particularly pleasing manner.

Zhang Hua glanced at it. "Whatever you give, I don’t like!"

Lin Lijun’s smile suddenly froze on his face. "Do you have to be so demeaning? How does putting me down benefit you?"

"I don’t know about benefits, but I do know that putting you down makes me feel good!" said Zhang Hua.

"Haha, well, at least I’m still of some use!" Lin Lijun muttered under his breath.

Lin Xiangwan quickly came to her father’s aid. "Well, if Mom won’t open the box, then I’ll do it!"

She swiftly opened it, and inside was a black evening gown!

The dress was covered with small diamonds, glittering and gleaming, making it appear exceptionally valuable.

"Wow..." Lin Xiangwan couldn’t help but exclaim. "This dress is so beautiful, Mom, you will look gorgeous standing on stage in it!"

She spread the dress out and tried it against herself.

Zhang Hua took a look and scrunched up her nose. "All those diamonds, so tacky, they scream new money!"

Lin Xiangwan loudly denied it. "Not at all, these small diamonds may sound very lavish, but when set against the black fabric, they seem to have a dynamic quality, extremely sparkly, nothing like new money!"

Lin Lijun gave his daughter a big thumbs up. "Did you hear that? That’s right, my daughter said it best!"

Lin Xiangwan also nodded vigorously. "Yeah, Mom, you should try it on quickly!"

In fact, Zhang Hua had fallen for the dress at first sight. Overall, it looked understated, only reflecting a dazzling light under the illumination.
