Capítulo 784: Chapter 784: My Daughter Is So Beautiful!
Soon, Huo Zijin changed into her gown.
She lifted the hem of her dress, walked to the full-length mirror, and couldn’t help but stare in amazement at her reflection.
She had never… dressed so grandly before, nor did she expect that wearing a gown would look like this…
Lin Qi walked behind her and gently adjusted her shoulders.
Huo Zijin was wearing a MacQueen haute couture mermaid gown, with hollow white lace embroidery, simple yet elegant.
A mermaid dress is particularly demanding on the figure.
With the utmost cut, waistline, and bust, any slight flaw in the figure makes it difficult to carry off.
Huo Zijin had a habit of fitness, so her body lines were exceptionally graceful.
Yet this gown on her seemed as if it were tailor-made just for her.
The waist-hugging design perfectly outlined her golden ratio figure.
The irregular strapless design further accentuated her white and firm shoulder and neck lines, elegant like a swan.
The gown’s skirt was embedded with fine diamond sand.
Her soft black hair was gently coiled at the back of her head, the bun was delicate and beautiful, with a strand of curled hair left at the nape of her neck, and the diamond studs on her earlobes were faintly visible, playful yet charming.
Lin Qi was somewhat stunned, both pleased and proud.
Her daughter was so beautiful!
Just a little dressing up, and she exuded a noble and elegant temperament.
“Yinyin, you are truly beautiful!”
Huo Zijin blushed shyly.
From childhood to adulthood, few people had praised her so earnestly.
Actually, she was born with good looks, given her parents’ genes, but as a child, she wore old clothes from her adoptive mother, collated from unknown places, plus her sloppy appearance, always wearing black rim glasses, so compared to other girls who loved dressing up, few praised her like this.
Girls at this age are just at the time when they love beauty.
Like Chen Shanshan, with brand-name bags and jewelry, lacking nothing.
But Huo Zijin was accustomed to frugality, saving any pocket change to buy books, rarely grooming herself.
Lin Qi said, “Yinyin, you should dress up more often usually, see, just a little dressing up and you’re so beautiful.”
Huo Zijin said, “Um… I don’t have much talent for dressing up.”
Lin Qi said, “In the future, often go shopping with Mom, if you see any pretty clothes, Mom will buy for you. If you don’t know how to dress up, Mom will help you.”
She pushed Huo Zijin to sit in front of the vanity mirror, adjusting her hair accessories while saying, “You know, Mom loves daughters the most. When you were born, Mom couldn’t wait to buy lots of pretty dresses, thinking when you grow up, Mom must dress you beautifully every day!”
She gently lowered her head, looking into the mirror, gently gazing at Yinyin in the reflection, “Look, our little princess is truly beautiful.”
A faint sense of trance passed through Huo Zijin’s eyes.
Lin Qi asked, “What’s wrong?”
Huo Zijin said, “I really feel so happy, I never thought… in this world, there would be people like you, like Dad, like Brother, who love me.”
She looked at Lin Qi, “Mom, sometimes I think, isn’t this a dream? That one day, I’ll wake up and open my eyes, and everything will be gone.”
Lin Qi lightly poked her little head angerly, “Why are you letting your imagination run wild? It won’t be a dream.”
Truth be told…
Lin Qi had felt such fear more than once.
Therefore, many times in the middle of the night when she startled awake, she would sneak to her daughter’s room door, push the door open a crack, and peek through the gap to see if her daughter was soundly asleep.
Only upon confirming her daughter was quietly asleep, and really home, not a dream, could she peacefully return to her room and continue sleeping.
Lin Qi grabbed her hand, “Come on, let’s go downstairs, don’t keep Dad and brothers waiting too long. They must be eager to see how beautiful Yinyin looks in her dress!”
Suddenly, she thought of something.
“Wait a moment.”
She opened a drawer, took out a gem-encrusted diamond crown, and carefully placed it on her head, fixing it with a hairpin.
Huo Zijin asked in surprise, “What is this?”
Lin Qi replied, “Diamond Crown!”
Huo Zijin said, “This… looks like the diamond crown those princesses wear in fairy tales!”
Lin Qi smiled, “Aren’t you our little princess?”
After saying this, she took her daughter’s hand and walked out of the room.
Meanwhile, downstairs was festively decorated.
Today was both Huo Linzhou and Huo Zijin’s birthday, and Huo Zijin’s first birthday since returning to this family.
The entire villa was arranged as a grand banquet hall.
The lawn in the back garden was also adorned for welcoming guests.
At that moment, many guests had arrived.
The Huo Family had found their long-lost daughter, and this happy event had spread early in the circles of the elite.
Many people had come to the Huo Family with lavish gifts to congratulate them.
Lin Qi hooked onto Huo Zijin’s arm and walked down the stairs step by step, soon, the lavishly dressed Huo Zijin caught everyone’s attention!
“Ah! This is the little daughter of the Huo Family who went missing for seventeen years without a trace.”
“I remember… named Zijin, finally found… the whole family’s joy!”
“Indeed! Seventeen years, finally reunited!”
“The little princess is too beautiful! Mr. Huo will surely spoil her to the core!”
“With such beauty, how many suitors will line up to knock on the Huo Family’s door?”
“Her father is Huo Tingdong, her two brothers are extraordinary, who would dare without skill to cross the threshold and ask?”
“In the future, whoever marries her must be a top-notch figure!”
“…”
Facing the scrutiny of everyone, although Huo Zijin felt somewhat restrained, she adjusted her mood and soon showed a confident smile.
“Yinyin!”
Lin Jinmo first spotted his sister and walked towards her.
He gently grasped her shoulders, looked her over for a good while, and marveled, “Yinyin, you’re so beautiful when you dress up.”
Beautiful enough to make him, as her brother, unable to take his eyes off!
This was his cherished sister, the apple of the Huo Family’s eye!
Huo Tinghan and Huo Tingdong also came over.
Huo Tinghan behaved with reserved modesty, but Huo Tingdong was full of doting affection, “My daughter is beautiful!”
Huo Tinghan asked, “Who picked the gown?”
Lin Qi replied, “Me.”
Huo Tinghan acknowledged with a “Hmm”, “Mom has good taste after all.”
Lin Qi said, “Yinyin, let me introduce you to a few uncles.”
Huo Zijin nodded obediently, following behind her.
Meanwhile.
At the entrance of the villa area.
A row of cars was parked.
Classmates had gradually arrived, but seeing a line of luxurious villas, they dared not enter.
