What was she supposed to do? She had even given him something to eat, so what was he trying to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Xi stopped eating and walked over to him, \"Hey, why do you keep staring at me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not staring at you.\" Ning Xi was surprised that he replied in Chinese. She did not expect him to be a Chinese…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Xi responded in Chinese as well, \"You’ve been staring at me since just now! Even at this moment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beggar scanned her then replied, \"I’m looking at your outfit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Xi looked at her dress and asked, \"What about my outfit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beggar did not even hesitate. \"It’s ugly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Xi was speechless. Even people who had zero fashion sense would never consider this dress as ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don't you tell me which part of this dress is ugly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Xi was not expecting anything constructive but his reply was out of her expectations, \"The embroidery on your dress is a flower-bird themed which comes from the drawing called \"Rest\" by Lin Fengmian. It’s a good drawing but the background color is too dark. It’d be better if turquoise blue was used. They shouldn't have used silk as well; a softer fabric would have worked better. The worst part is the design around the waist. It’s a misconception that the tighter the waist area, the more can one flaunt their curves. Actually, if it’s a little bit looser, it would have made an enormous difference…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Xi saw that the beggar commented excitedly about her outfit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at her outfit again and armed with the knowledge from his comments, she thought that his words made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She listened patiently and prompted, \"Tell me more!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beggar continued with a cold tone, \"Most importantly, this outfit you’re wearing is a half-made draft! They are deceiving the consumers by putting this on for sale!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Xi looked at the beggar again. \"How do you know all these?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beggar had really messy hair that covered most of his face but from his voice, Ning Xi was determined that he should be around 20 odd years of age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Xi felt something was off, this man was young and did not seem to be disabled either, so how did he end up as a beggar on the streets of this foreign country?\u003C\u002Fp>",526,"2026-06-06T10:48:50.573Z",1,"novelbin.me","e1d1486cca8848d85b81ab9278e10c8f8d3d55e628b9178cc4780b1c760486ff","hidden-marriage-chapter-484","hidden-marriage-chapter-482",2163,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhidden-marriage-cover.jpg"]
