Chapter 50: Choosing a Gift Dress

  Her temperament has always been like this, no matter who it is, she always endures and compromises.

  "Alright..."

  As soon as Qin Nian's words fell, Lan Ayi couldn't help but speak up: "Miss..."

  "Alright, Aunt Lan, Nian Ge has already agreed with me, so don't stop us anymore. What, do you think I'll eat her up?"

  Su Zhiwei raised an eyebrow and directly pulled Qin Nian's hand, saying "Let's go, I went to a newly opened French restaurant with Yu Yi last time, the taste was very good, I've always said I wanted to take you there to try it."

  When she mentioned her interactions with Li Xueyi, Qin Nianqiu's heart skipped a beat again.

  She quickly suppressed this tremble.

  Qin Nian Ge forced a smile and turned to Lan Niang, "Don't worry, I can do those exercises when I get back tonight. Zhi Wei Jie came all the way to find me, I couldn't just let her go back by herself."

  Madam Lan looked at Su Zhiwei with a worried expression.

  Although this woman has been disguising herself very well in front of them, Lan's aunt is also a person who has stayed in the Li family for half her life. She must have seen all sorts of people in the wealthy families and wouldn't fail to notice Su Zhiwei's thoughts.

  This time, she wanted to call Qin Nian Ge out, but didn't know what was on her mind.

  But since things have come this far, she can't bring herself to stop him either.

  So Aunt Lan could only helplessly nod: "Miss, you come back early, I'll make dinner and wait for you."

  Qin Nian Ge nodded cleverly and said to Su Zhiwei: "Then Zhiwei sister, wait for me a moment, I'll go up and change my clothes."

  She is now wearing the most ordinary home clothes, of course, it's not suitable for going out.

  When she finally agreed to go out with him, Su Zhiwei's complexion had improved a lot and didn't mind waiting for a while.

  She nodded and let go of Qin Nian Ge's hand: "Alright, I'll wait for you, hurry up."

  Qin Nian Ge smiled at her and then turned around to head upstairs.

  The two people behind her stared at her back without blinking for a moment.

  But their thoughts were all different.

  Lan Yi gradually shifted her gaze from her to Su Zhiwei beside her.

  Su Zhiwei's lips still had a smile on them, but that smile couldn't help but make people feel a chill of coldness.

  Miss, that bit of simple thought...

  I'm afraid I'll eventually lose to this woman anyway?

  Su Zhiwei is indeed the future "Mrs. Lethal" and the design studio she's going to looks extraordinary.

  Exquisitely decorated, magnificently landscaped.

  Even if Qin Nian Ge lived in the luxurious Li family home all day, she couldn't help but secretly sigh at this place that was like a royal palace.

  "How is it? Singing, this studio is not bad, right?" Su Zhiwei saw the surprise in her eyes and a smile appeared on her lips, with an added hint of pride.

  Qin Nian Ge was taken aback for a moment, then hastily nodded: "Yes, it's very beautiful, just like a palace."

  "This young lady really has an eye for things, our studio's positioning is royal taste, only receiving noble guests like Miss Su. To be honest, don't get angry if I say this, but if it wasn't for Miss Su being with you, we would have needed to register you the first time you came over. But since you're friends with Miss Su, you must also come from a good family, which household's young lady are you? Miss Su, quickly introduce her!"

  Listening to this coquettish voice, if it were coming from a delicate girl, it would probably be quite endearing. But now Qin Nian Ge heard that the voice was coming from a man with heavy makeup and a seductive appearance, his scalp couldn't help but feel numb.

  Su Zhiwei turned her head to look at Qin Nian Ge, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face. She pretended to scold the man: "Leslie, what are you asking randomly? Is it that important whether one has a good family background or not?"

  Qin Nian Ge's family background is somewhat unpleasant to talk about.

  But this small matter could have been easily covered up, Su Zhiwei's attitude made people can't help but pay attention.

  Especially after that scolding sentence, she spoke to Qin Nian Ge with a full of apology: "Nian Ge, don't bother with him, he has no eyes."

  The Li family had no choice but to take in Qin Nian Ge due to Li Feng Tian's last wish, which caused a huge stir and commotion throughout the city at that time.

  Leslie's studio receives all sorts of high-society ladies, and she has naturally heard a lot about this matter.

  It's just that two years have passed since then. If Su Zhiwei hadn't acted so strangely just now, he might not even remember this matter.

  But now, his eyes were filled with understanding.

  It's just that he comes from a service industry background, and although he looks down on her in his heart, he doesn't show it, instead revealing a kind smile: "It's my fault, Miss Qin, don't mind."

  Su Zhiwei didn't even say her last name, and Leslie directly called out "Ms. Qin".

  Her identity was completely exposed.

  Qin Nian Ge bit her lip heavily, her face flushing bright red with embarrassment.

  Although she had never hated her mother, she could never identify with her identity.

  She knew her mother wasn't with Uncle Li for his illustrious family background or his vast wealth.

  But anyway, Uncle Lei is someone else's husband.

  Qin Nian Ge has been unable to hold her head up since she was a child because of her mother's identity, but for her, the grievances she suffered were not unjust.

  She was really ashamed of her mother's embarrassing identity.

  How could she possibly be a match for that high and mighty, dignified as an emperor man?

  Qin Nian Ge suppressed the bitter feeling that was surging up in her heart and forced a hasty smile at Leslie: "Nothing."

  Since she had already achieved her goal of embarrassing her, Su Zhiwei also didn't dwell on this issue anymore.

  She hooked the corner of her mouth, breaking the subtle atmosphere: "Leslie, didn't you say there's a new style to show me? Tonight Ning Ge still has to hurry back to do homework, let's speed up."

  Just hearing her say this, it's really not ordinary thoughtfulness.

  Leslie was doing just what a woman would do, and her ability to read between the lines was evident. Upon hearing this, she immediately giggled and turned sideways.

  "Yes, yes, you're right, it's just that they are too wordy. Miss Su, please come in. The prototype of the custom-made dress from last time is also ready. Our Jenny said last time that if we have time, let you take a look first. Today is a good opportunity to take a look."

  Upon hearing his words, Su Zhiwei's smile became even more radiant.

  It's worth noting that Jenny is the chief designer of this design studio, and being able to wear a custom-made evening gown designed by him is a symbol of status in itself.

  Su Zhiwei's chin involuntarily lifted, even though she had always been cautious and careful with her words, constantly paying attention to her image, but this inherent arrogance was still impossible to conceal.

  But such boasting in front of Qin Nian Ge is equivalent to a waste of effort.

  Qin Nian Ge spent her whole day with her head buried in books, apart from studying and painting, she only had Lei Xue Yi in her eyes, how would she know about Jie Ni Jie Er.

  What's more, she is still trapped in the embarrassment just now and can't get out of it.

  Silently following Su Zhiwei and Leslie into a more exquisite VIP room, the dresses hanging inside were all stunningly beautiful, obviously very valuable.

  Su Zhiwei sat elegantly on one side, waiting for Leslie to push over the humanoid models one by one.

  "Try on the white one, how does it look? I think I'll wear this to the banquet day after tomorrow." Su Zhiwei asked Qin Nian Ge's opinion while looking at her.

  Have to say, Su Zhiwei's vision is still good.

  Among so many gorgeous evening gowns, only this long dress takes a simple and elegant route, except for the embroidery on the waistline, there are basically no other patterns.

  Simple, yet beautifully special.

  Qin Nian Ge hadn't even opened her mouth when Leslie's voice came up again in a timely manner: "Our Jenny had already guessed that you would choose this one, this is the custom-made one for our Su Xiaojie, how about it? Is it your style?"

  He said, leaning in with a sly smile: "Jenny says inspiration comes from wedding dresses. Speaking of which, you and Lǐ Dǒng must be getting close to something good too, right? I heard you've been paying attention to French wedding dress designers' schedules recently?"

  Wedding dress?

  Qin Nian's heart skipped a beat, and her palm unconsciously clenched into a fist.

  Su Zhiwei also couldn't help but glance in her direction, before smiling sarcastically at Leslie: "Who's talking nonsense? I'm always very secretive."

  "Oh yeah? Don't try to hide it from me, look at how red your face is! You must be about to become Mrs. Li already, right?"

  Leslie said, moving closer, "Mrs. Li's wedding dress, we also understand that it is unlikely to be made domestically. However, when the time comes, remember to let us design the bridesmaid dresses, after all, our friendship has been going on for so long."

  Leslie was indeed quick-witted and in a few words turned the conversation back to business.

  Su Zhiwei smiled with her eyes narrowed: "This, I think it's better to let the bridesmaid take charge. Nian Ge, when I marry Yu Yi, will you be our bridesmaid? As for where to make the bridesmaid dress, you decide."

  "When I marry Yuè Yì, will you be our bridesmaid?"

  Is it good or not?

  Maid of Honor

  No! She doesn't want to! Don't be their bridesmaid!

  "No—" Qin Nian Ge struggled to wake up, only to find that the scene where Su Zhiwei forced her to wear a bridesmaid dress had just been a nightmare.

  Qin Nian Ge took a deep breath, but it was just a dream, and she had broken out in a cold sweat.

  Su Zhiwei's casual words during the day had such a profound impact on her.

  Qin Nian Ge didn't know whether she should scold herself for being useless.

  Getting married...

  Isn't she already mentally prepared for the fact that Lixiaoyi will marry Su Zhiwei?

  But why did she still look so painful when Su Zhiwei mentioned it?

  Yes, she had long known that they would end up together one day.

  But never thought of being their bridesmaid.

  Before she knew it, she had been by Lian Yiwu's side for so long.

  But no matter how overbearing he is, on the day of his wedding, she will definitely stay far away from them.

  Her mother's story was already an irreparable tragedy, how could she let herself go through it again.

  If it wasn't for Su Zhiwei bringing it up today, Qin Nianqiao really wouldn't have known that Li Xue's wedding had already been scheduled.

  The day she leaves is really getting closer and closer.

  Kā

  A faint sound came from the quiet night.

  The sound was almost imperceptible, but in this quiet room, it was still caught by Qin Nian Ge in time.

  She was so familiar with this voice that as soon as she heard it, her heart tightened involuntarily.

  And the wooden door that connected her with Lian's bedroom also slowly opened at that moment.

  That tall figure also appeared in her field of vision.
