She looked around and found out that she was in the barbershop. The bright light was pricking to her eyes.
“When did you come?” asked An Taotao.
Mr. King stared at her and found that she had finished her hairdo and it elevated he natural beauty even more. Her hair was tied up to show her bright forehead, and her delicate face was utterly exposed.
Mr. King’s eyes are burning at the gorgeous sight, and she is like a frightened rabbit as he stared.
“Is my hair beautiful?” An Taotao immediately changed the topic. Her smile was radiant. Her skin was so smooth. ‘She was stunning!’ Mr. King looked at her with deep eyes but still doesn’t speak.
‘She’s so damn good-looking!’
“I found this dress and my hairstyle matched well. What do you think, Mr. King?” An Taotao pulled the dress and showed a bright, sweet smile to Mr. King.
Mr. King’s eyes gradually deepened. Finally, he said a word. “Good.”
She looked at herself in the mirror again and found that she had a layer of light makeup so that she would appear young and tender. She feels a little bit glamorous. She thought that it is good enough for Mr. King.
“Come, let’s change your shoes.” Mr. King’s low voice suddenly heard.
An Taotao looked back and saw Mr. King’s hands on a crystal shoes.
Transparent crystal shoes, it is so beautiful! Is this pair of shoes specially prepared for her?
Mr. King’s cold eyes only heard him say, “Go there and sit down.”
He suddenly bent over and stared at her. Her heart was jumping nervously. ‘What is he doing? Is he trying to help me put it on?’
‘No, Mr. King is such a nobleman, will never does that, never!’
He took off the flat shoes on her feet with his long fingers. Her soft and cute toes showed up. The fragile works of art like crystal attracted Mr. King’s attention in an instant.
His throat was rolling, and his eyes were burning. ‘How can such be so beautiful?’
“Mr. King, let me wear the shoes myself.” An Taotao said. She moved her feet uneasily, and her round toes also curled up at this time. Mr. King looked at her like a fierce wolf that locks its prey, which is intimidating.
An Taotao was frightened. She felt like a little white rabbit that was stared at by a hungry wolf. She swallowed, and she could not help but tremble. Mr. King, as he didn’t mind the fear in her eyes, suddenly reached out to her smooth feet and touched it carefully, from her toe to the back of her feet.
And his actions were unexpectedly gentle as if he was dealing with fragile art.
No one saw Mr. King kneel and bow down. However, such a powerful and nobleman was down to his knees, putting on someone’s shoes at that. Isn’t that romantic
The people in the shop were too enthusiastic.
An Taotao touched her nose and started to smile, and then she said, “Wow, this crystal shoe is beautiful, and it suits me. Did you choose it for me? It looks like Cinderella’s”
Mr. King didn’t speak, but the people around chattered seamlessly.
“Mrs. An is so beautiful. She’s like a princess out of a Disney movie. This dress matches the crystal shoes.”
“This pretty girl is with Mr. King. I am envious!”
“Mrs. An is prettier than any female star in the entertainment. I have been inspired by just looking her. I did a lot of hairstyles before that only with her will my designs will shine. I hope she likes it.”
Hearing their praises, the little face of An Taotao turns red.
“Thank you. I like the hairstyle you designed. It matched my dress. And I felt special”, She said.
When they heard her say she liked it, the designers’ hearts relaxed. They looked at Mr. King carefully and found that he still had no expression, but they could feel that he was in a good mood, especially when they praised her.
Initially, Mr. King likes to listen to such words, and maybe he can raise their wages. Hopefully.
After a while, An Taotao looked in the mirror again, and suddenly she noticed that it’s past ten o’clock already. The dinner is at eleven o’clock. It’s going to be late. It was time for dinner.
If you let the elders of the Lu Family wait too long, things would go awry.
“Just let them wait.” Mr. King noticed her worried countenance and he spoke in a cold voice.
‘Did he just read my mind? And also, let them wait? Isn’t that his own family?! How harsh!’
An Taotao was stunned. Mr. King seems to have no feelings for the Lu family. When talking about them, his expression is cold, and his tone is harder.
“Let’s go.” Mr. King looked down, and his eyes suddenly fell on her ring finger. The dove red ring glows under the light.
Mr. King is relaxed; the gloomy and cold eyes seem touched by an imperceptible warmth.

Lu’s old Mansion is in the suburb of city A. It is ancient, Tranquil and surrounded by a beautiful scenery. It seem like it’s existed in a long time.
An Taotao stared at the ancient house in front of her. It has huge gates, red wall and green tiles, and has a stone lion crouching at the door. Everything was so magnificent like those ancient palaces in the movies.
“Mr. King, your old house is very good.” An Taotao blinks her eyes and felt too small for a while.
Mr. King did not speak as his aura darkened. In front of the ancient house, his memories flash through a variety of emotions, suffering, cold, and violence.
‘Did I just say something wrong? Why is his expression so gloomy?’
“Mr. King, won’t we go in?” The An Taotao pulled Mr. King’s sleeve.
Mr. King didn’t reply, still staring at the old house. An Taotao stood at the door with him, and gradually she too didn’t dare to speak.
Moments later, An old housekeeper in a uniform walked out in the main courtyard. He wore gold glasses. But when he saw Mr. King, his eyes were shaking, as if something else was surging.
He respectfully welcomed and bowed down and said, “Mr. King, the old lady and a lot of relatives are waiting for you.”
Mr. King, as always, had no expression and said. “Well.”
The old housekeeper kept his head low and looked respectful, but An Taotao felt that he was afraid of something.
The old housekeeper saw the diamond ring of An Taotao at a glance. A Pigeon blood-red ring! Unique and priceless.
At the beginning, famous celebrities were interested in the pigeon blood red diamond, and they were willing to buy it at a high price, but he refused to sell it. Because of his noble status and ruthless means, the celebrities, although they like diamonds, dare not face him. This is some back story of the pigeon blood-red ring.
No one knows why Mr. King had to keep this pigeon blood-red diamond, so there were many guesses. But now, this diamond appeared in the finger of An Taotao. So, Mr. King made it into a wedding ring and gave it to the girl in front of me? Thinking about this, the old housekeeper felt a little dizzy. He realized that it was not a play at all.
“I am the wife of the Ninth master.” Suddenly, An Taotao said, and again tightened his hold at Mr. King’s sleeves.
Mr. King looked down, and his eyes fell on her small hand. The red diamond on her ring finger is dazzling. It also shines into his heart. His eyebrows are loose and his body seems to be a little softer.
The old housekeeper led them through the corridor, which had many rare flowers and trees. They were pretty.
After about five minutes, they finally came in the hall of the old Mansion.
