Although Lan Qianyu’s wedding gown was not as luxurious and elegant as Shen Ningruo’s wedding gown, it was simple and beautiful and perfectly complemented her exquisite figure. With light makeup applied, and her soft long hair let down, the Lan Qianyu in front of the mirror was unbelievably stunning.

Qiao Qing gushed effusively, “Oh my God, Qianyu you’re so beautiful!”

“Qianyu has always been beautiful, but it’s just that she usually doesn’t like dressing up.” Shen Xin smiled as she looked at Lan Qianyu in the mirror.

“Qianyu, you’re so beautiful!” Xiao Qi hugged Lan Qianyu’s waist from behind and kissed her shoulder softly. “It is my greatest blessing to be able to marry you!”

Lan Qianyu’s mind was a complete mess and her expression seemed awkward. She lowered his eyes and said softly, “Let’s go and take photos.”

“Yeah, we need to make the most of time, so that you can still have an outdoor photoshoot in the afternoon,” the staff agreed.

…

The group of them were about to go to the studio to take photos, when Xiao Qi’s mobile phone suddenly rang. When he saw the caller ID, his eyes flickered for a moment before he said to Lan Qianyu, “Qianyu, I’m going to answer a call. I’ll come back soon. You guys go ahead and get ready first.”

“Okay.” Lan Qianyu did not think too much about it. Lifting up her wedding gown, she followed the staff to the studio. Qiao Qing also followed along. Shen Xin noticed Xiao Qi’s quick pace, and his panic-stricken expression. She felt that something was amiss, so she secretly followed him.

Xiao Qi walked to a corner with nobody around to answer the phone call. He sounded fed up, “What?”

“Ye Yan turned up at the same bridal shop as you. It was clearly a good opportunity just not, but seems like you didn’t seize it.” Bai Lu asked directly, “Looks like you didn’t listen to my advice, why’s that? Have you already found someone better to inject capital into your company? Or did your future mother-in-law promise to inject capital into your company?”

Xiao Qi froze for a moment and his brows knitted together tightly. “What do you mean? How do you know about just now…” He paused for a moment and vigilantly looked outside. “Where are you?”

“On the opposite side of the road.” Bai Lu smiled coquettishly. “This white suit suits you very well. It makes you look even more impressive. If only you’re my groom, that’ll be great!”

“Did you call me just to spout these nonsense?” Xiao Qi stared frustratedly at the Maserati across the road.

Bai Lu asked sweetly, “I haven’t seen you in a few days. Do you miss me?”

“Stop being crazy. Hurry up and leave.” Xiao Qi berated her angrily in a low voice..

“Why? Are you scared that I’ll ruin your happy occasion?” Bai Lu was not angry, and her tone remained flirty. “I miss you, why don’t you come out? We can go out to sea together.”

“I have no time for your bullsh*t!” Xiao Qi was about to hang up the phone.

“Alright then.” Bai Lu said immediately, “Since you’re not going to come out, I have no choice but to go in.”

“Bai Lu, what do you want?” Xiao Qi gnashed his teeth in anger.

“I don’t know either!” Bai Lu said in a nerve-racking tone, “I’ll have to think about it properly. You’ll be getting married in two days. My mind’s in a mess right now. I think we should have a good talk.”

“Let’s meet at our usual spot at night and make things clear once and for all.” Xiao Qi was extremely impatient.

“I want to talk about it now.” Bai Lu acted coquettishly.

Xiao Qi refused decisively, “Not now.”

“Alright then. In that case, I’ll go in now, and we can talk things out in front of Lan Qianyu.” Bai Lu opened the door of the car. Holding her phone, she started walking towards the other side of the road.

“You…” Xiao Qi was about to go mad. “Don’t come in.”

“Then you come out!” Bai Lu stopped in her tracks.

Xiao Qi held the phone tightly and hesitated for a moment, before finally compromising, “Okay, I’ll go out right now.”
