Translator: _Min_

Jiang Yue took a moment to process what Song Ling had said, clearly not expecting him to refer to her as his wife already. After she recovered from her surprise, she shyly responded, Were not married yet!

Song Ling smiled warmly and a.s.sured her, Well be married next month. Its happening soon.

The shop a.s.sistant, overhearing their exchange, appropriately chuckled along and offered a congenial remark, Mr. and Ms., your love is truly beautiful.

A light shade of red crept into Jiang Yues cheeks, and, embarra.s.sed, she stomped her foot, playfully directing the shop a.s.sistant towards the wedding dress section, Hurry, lets go look at the wedding dresses.

Jiang Yues eyes widened as she surveyed the extensive collection of wedding dresses, her face lighting up with astonishment. In no time at all, she picked out no less than ten dresses, eagerly trying on each one and soliciting Song Lings opinion.

Finally, she emerged wearing the last one.

Adorned in a mermaid wedding dress, her eyes sparkling with excitement, Jiang Yue turned to Song Ling, seeking his thoughts, Brother Song Ling, 1 feel that this one looks better than the others. What do you think?

Song Ling looked up from his distracted thoughts, not fully comprehending the difference between these pristine white wedding dresses. To him, they all looked alike, but he still nodded approvingly and said, Its beautiful.

Jiang Yue frowned, sensing his indifference, and accused him, Youre just humoring me!

With earnest conviction, she then explained, Do you know? For girls, the day we get married is a day filled with antic.i.p.ation, because we will walk towards the person we love most in the presence of our loved ones. The wedding dress is worn only on that day, so I must choose the most beautiful one

Her words trailed off, becoming a distant murmur in Song Lings ears as he was lost in thought.

Is the wedding day truly a girls most antic.i.p.ated day?

Did Gu Dai also look forward to it?

But three years agoThe memory of that day, when he had run away from his wedding with Gu Dai, returned to him. He ran away that day, and only returned to the hall late into the night, with only grandpa and Gu Dai.

They had ended up marrying in a nearly empty hall, with only his grandpa as a witness.

Gu Dai looked beautiful in the wedding dress.

Her black, silky hair, along with her fine and delicate skin contrasted the white wedding dress. The beautiful smile on her face brightened the dark night.

Except that when they returned to their room, he coldly ordered her to take off her wedding dress, and said in a disapproving tone, This is hideous.

At that time, Gu Dais eyes, which seemed to hold stars within them, dimmed in an instant. Even so, she said nothing, merely quietly changing her clothes without any complaint or bitterness.

As these thoughts played in his mind, his face turned grim, his heart uneasy.

Jiang Yue noticed Song Lings distraction, her face falling. Was it because she wasnt pretty enough?

No, that couldnt be!

It must be the dresss fault!

Frustration evident in her voice, she looked angrily at the shop a.s.sistant and demanded, Is this the best wedding dress in your shop? I think its just mediocre!

Taken aback by her fury, the shop a.s.sistant stammered, as it was difficult for her to believe that despite her good look, her face seemed to twist because of anger, We have one masterpiece in our shop, Master Gu.Ds last piece of work. Would you like to try it?

Jiang Yues glare didnt waver, Since theres a masterpiece, why didnt you bring it out at the beginning? Go fetch it now!

When Song Lings attention returned to the present, he found that Jiang Yue had disappeared. He approached the shop a.s.sistant, inquiring, Have you seen Miss Jiang, who was trying on wedding dresses just now?

Miss Jiang is trying on a new wedding dress in the fitting room, the shop a.s.sistant responded.

Song Ling thanked her.

The shop a.s.sistant listened to the polite response from Song Ling, and was confused about what he saw in Jiang Yues unrefined manner.

After a short wait, the fitting room door opened, and Jiang Yue emerged.

When Song Ling turned around, and his gaze landed on the wedding dress on her, he froze in place. The dress she wore was unlike any he had seen before.

Pleased by Song Lings astonished expression, Jiang Yue approached him, her voice soft, Is it beautiful?

He nodded, genuinely moved, Beautiful, very beautiful.

Jiang Yues satisfaction was palpable, but a slight discomfort betrayed her. The dress was too small, so tight that she had to breathe cautiously.

Do you have this dress in a larger size? she asked..
