Chapter 917: Chapter 905: Qiao Jing Restores Her True Appearance
Listening to Zhan Qiaomo’s sweet yet concerned words, Qiao Jing felt a warmth in her heart.
She reached out, gently stroking the little fellow’s head, and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, Aunt Jing is fine, not sick."
Zhan Qiaomo clearly didn’t quite believe it, his little face full of doubt, "Really? Are you sure you’re not feeling unwell?"
The little one’s repeated confirmation made Qiao Jing feel amused, yet also very touched.
She stood up, picked up the little guy, and spun around several times.
After the spins, she put the little one down, smiling, "How is it? Do you believe Aunt Jing is fine now?"
Seeing her still looking lively after spinning him around, Zhan Qiaomo finally believed she wasn’t sick.
At that moment, Qiao Lin hurriedly entered the room, grabbed Qiao Jing’s arm, and glanced at Zhan Qiaomo.
"Let’s go talk over there."
Qiao Jing looked puzzled, wondering what couldn’t be said in front of a child.
After two seconds of silence, Qiao Jing turned back to Zhan Qiaomo, "We’ll be right back."
"Okay," the little fellow replied very sensibly.
Qiao Lin took Qiao Jing to her room and then said with a worried face, "Xiao Jing, quickly help me think of a solution, I’m about to have a headache!"
Qiao Lin is usually an optimist, so seeing her so troubled was rare, making Qiao Jing curious.
She asked in puzzlement, "What’s wrong? What’s giving you a headache?"
"It’s all because of that Chen Lili, the high school classmate I mentioned to you before."
Talking about this, Qiao Lin was indignant.
She recounted, "Here’s the situation: Chen Lili boasted in our class group, saying she has a handsome and wealthy boyfriend. I wouldn’t care if she just bragged, but she also ridiculed me in the group, saying I’d never find a boyfriend in my life!"
"The most critical part is, she organized a banquet and invited all of our classmates to attend, and other female classmates are supposed to bring their boyfriends, except I’m the only one flying solo!"
"You tell me, when everyone arrives with their partners, how am I supposed to face that?!"
At the end, Qiao Lin looked so aggrieved, her face was the picture of misery.
After listening to her, Qiao Jing pondered for a moment, then suggested, "Why don’t you look around for a suitable friend and ask them to pretend to be your boyfriend."
"Sigh..." Qiao Lin sighed, "Actually, I’ve thought about this solution too, but if I really go through with it, inevitably I’ll need to share some intimate moments with him during the banquet."
"You know me, I can’t stand those obnoxious men, asking me to be that intimate with them is something I just can’t do!"
Since that plan wouldn’t work, Qiao Jing had to come up with another solution.
While she was pondering, a great idea suddenly came to her.
And that was to have Qiao Jing disguise herself as a man.
"Xiao Jing, why don’t you pretend to be my boyfriend, you’re tall. Besides, if you act as my boyfriend, and things get intimate, I wouldn’t mind."
Qiao Jing frowned slightly, "Are you sure? Won’t we be recognized?"
"No, no, we won’t!"
Since Qiao Lin insisted, Qiao Jing had no objections and nodded, "I think we can give it a try, it shouldn’t be a problem."
The next day.
Early in the morning, Qiao Lin went to the mall and carefully picked out a men’s suit and a wig.
Once she got everything, she dragged Qiao Jing into the room to dress her up.
Once the suit was on, the wig in place, and the fake skin off her face, Qiao Jing instantly transformed into a handsome, dashing gentleman!
Qiao Lin circled around the newly transformed Qiao Jing, showing an expression of amazement, and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Wow! Xiao Jing, you’re too handsome, like Pan’an reborn!"
"Honestly, if you were really a guy, I’d want to marry you!"
Saying that, Qiao Lin hugged Qiao Jing, excitedly giving her a kiss on the cheek.
Standing in front of the full-length mirror, Qiao Jing looked at her suit-clad self, thinking the transformation wasn’t bad, but...
She raised her hand to touch her face, with a slight concern, "Second sister, if I go out like this and run into someone Jiang Zihong knows, they might recognize me."
Hearing this, Qiao Lin thought for a moment, then waved it off, "That’s not a problem, just wear a mask!"
"I remember I have one, wait a sec, I’ll go find it!"
With those words, Qiao Lin darted out of the room.
In less than ten minutes, she returned with a white full-face mask and put it directly on Qiao Jing.
With the mask on, the issue was resolved, but Qiao Lin couldn’t help but lament, "What a shame, such a handsome face, covered with a mask is such a waste!"
Qiao Jing found this remark somewhat amusing.
Though she looked good, saying it’s a waste might be a bit much?
Seeing Qiao Jing being amused, Qiao Lin straightened up and earnestly said, "Xiao Jing, I’m not joking, I’m telling the absolute truth. With this look, you would definitely captivate countless girls!"
Qiao Jing chuckled, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, when is your reunion scheduled?"
"Didn’t I tell you?"
As soon as she said that, Qiao Lin realized she hadn’t mentioned it.
She tugged at the corner of her lips and replied sheepishly, "It’s today, and the banquet starts in an hour."
Qiao Jing displayed a trace of helplessness, reminding, "Then let’s hurry up, it takes some time to get there."
"I’ll go change clothes, you wait for me in the living room, I’ll be quick!"
Before finishing her words, Qiao Lin had already darted off.
A moment later, just as they were about to leave, Qiao Hong happened to return from outside.
Because the mask is stifling when worn for long, Qiao Jing planned to put it on after arriving at the banquet since they’d be getting in the car right downstairs; the short walk posed very little risk.
So, as soon as Qiao Hong came in, she saw Qiao Lin closely linked arm in arm with a handsome "man."
This sight startled Qiao Hong.
Faced with such a handsome "man," her cheeks inexplicably turned red.
She cleared her throat, trying to mask her shyness, and asked Qiao Lin nonchalantly, "Who is this? Your friend? Why haven’t I seen him before?"
Upon hearing Qiao Hong’s question, Qiao Lin burst into laughter.
Qiao Jing also curved her lips into a soft smile, "Big sister, just because I’m wearing a wig and men’s clothes, you can’t recognize me?"
Hearing this, Qiao Hong was taken aback, her eyes widening, and she stared at Qiao Jing in shock.
It took her a good while to recover from her surprise.
