After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 384: Chapter 385 High Heels and Flat Shoes

Looking at the slender high heels that seemed like they could snap at any moment, she gritted her teeth and finally stepped into them.

She stood up unsteadily and walked cautiously to the full-length mirror to take a look.

The girl in the mirror was tall and slender with a touch of makeup. Her outfit was fitting from head to toe, youthful and vibrant yet not immature or casual.

Going out like this, she wouldn’t embarrass him, would she?!

Luo Xiaoqian thought to herself.

”Change your shoes!”

At the door, Leng Zimo’s voice suddenly rang out.

Luo Xiaoqian turned around in surprise and sure enough, he was walking into the bedroom. ”How did you come up?”

”I came up to get you.” Leng Zimo walked up to her and frowned at her shoes. ”They’re too high, change them.”

Seeing her wobbly on her high heels, he was worried she might fall.

”It’s okay, I’ve practiced enough by now. Not just walking, dancing is no problem either.”

Luo Xiaoqian pulled her legs back a bit, these shoes were the perfect match for this outfit. She usually didn’t pay special attention to her attire, but tonight was different, she wanted to be impeccable from head to toe.

”Fine then,” Zimo did not insist. He reached over the table to pick up her purse, ”Let’s go, Xu Pei is waiting for us downstairs.”

Xu Pei? Xu Pei?

Or was it Xu Pei?!

Luo Xiaoqian followed him downstairs, still repeating the name in her mind.

No matter how she pronounced it, it felt like a girl’s name.

”Is this Xu Pei the person you just picked up?” she asked softly.

”Yes,” Zimo answered simply while walking ahead.

”So...it’s a girl, right?” Luo Xiaoqian tried to make her tone sound casual.

”Yeah, we grew up in the same compound,” Zimo replied indifferently.

Growing up in the same compound meant that her family background was probably as good as hers.

Childhood friends, two little fools... and then a family union?!

Luo Xiaoqian panicked, her pace became erratic, her high heel slid to one side, and she lost her balance. She screamed and flung herself toward Leng Zimo.

Fortunately, Leng Zimo’s reflexes were quick; he turned and caught her, averting any danger, and she wasn’t injured.

”I’m sorry...” She lifted her face from his embrace, smiling palely.

”You!” Leng Zimo shook his head with a smile and carried her to the sofa, bending down to hold her ankle and slipped the high heel off her foot, ”Are you hurt?”

”I’m fine, really, I’m fine,” Luo Xiaoqian insisted.

Even though she kept insisting she was okay, he was still not at ease and checked her foot carefully. Finding nothing amiss, he stood up, walked to the porch, picked up a pair of her flat canvas shoes, squatted down in front of her, and was about to help her put them on.

”No need, no need, I can do it myself!”

Luo Xiaoqian was too embarrassed to let him help her with the shoes, and of course, she didn’t dare to bring up the heels again. She quickly slipped into the canvas shoes and stood up.

Zimo watched her take a few steps to make sure she was indeed all right, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

”Let’s go.”

The two of them left the apartment and took the elevator downstairs.

Luo Xiaoqian glanced at Leng Zimo several times, wanting to ask who this Xu Pei really was, yet hesitated and did not speak.

”What’s wrong?” Leng Zimo, noticing her unusual expression, looked over with concern. ”Is there something difficult with your album?”

Luo Xiaoqian hurriedly shook her head, ”No.”

The two walked out of the building and sure enough saw his car parked not far from the entrance.

As they descended the steps, Luo Xiaoqian naturally walked to the passenger side, reached out to pull the door open, and then saw that there was already someone sitting in the passenger seat.
