"This one?" Gu Sisi emerged from the fitting room, clutching the hem of the dress. Yang Qian quickly got up, her eyes lighting up. "It looks so good!" she exclaimed.
Gu Sisi looked at herself in the mirror.
The soft bridal veil clung gently to her body, with the train trailing on the ground. She looked like a mermaid. The dress was also designed with shiny sequins. After much hesitation, Gu Sisi whispered, "But it's a bit tight."
"Where?" Yang Qian observed Gu Sisi from all angles. Hearing this, she leaned over to take a look.
Gu Sisi was very shy. Her face instantly flushed red, and she grabbed the fabric under her armpits with both hands. "It's too tight around the chest," she said.
The sales clerk standing beside them quickly said enthusiastically, "Don't worry, ma'am. We can alter it to make it bigger."
"Yes, Sister Sisi," Yang Qian chimed in. "It's just because you have a great figure."
Gu Sisi, who didn't like to trouble others, blushed even more. "There's no such thing," she said.
Yang Qian rolled her eyes and asked, "How much is the most expensive wedding dress here?"
Even the sales clerk, who had always been calm and smiling, stiffened at this question. After organizing her words for a long time, she said carefully, "Sorry, customer. That wedding dress is usually in the hands of the designer. You must make a reservation in advance to see it."
"Oh? Is that so?" Yang Qian exchanged a look with Gu Sisi. Then she murmured to herself, "Really?"
"What about the most expensive one in the store?" Yang Qian didn't mind. They were just here to try on dresses casually.
The sales clerk's expression froze. She stammered for a long time before saying, "Sorry. The dresses on display outside are the ones for sale, and their prices are about the same. If you want a more expensive one, you can try this one."
Saying so, she picked out a dress from a row of gowns and held it up against Gu Sisi. "The design of this dress is also very good, and we can alter the parts that don't fit."
Gu Sisi thought the dress looked pretty good. Just as she was about to take it to change, Yang Qian suddenly grabbed her hand.
?
"Sister Sisi, let's go to another store and have a look!"
Gu Sisi was about to take the dress. She didn't know whether to take it or not. After a moment, she let go.
She pulled Yang Qian aside and whispered, "What's going on?"
"I'll tell you later," Yang Qian replied in a low voice.
Then she pushed Gu Sisi into the fitting room. "Take off the dress first."
Yang Qian took the dress and handed it to the sales clerk with a forced smile. "Thank you."
Then she dragged Gu Sisi away.
Gu Sisi really wanted to ask what was going on. When they got outside, she shook off Yang Qian's hand and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Qianqian?"
Yang Qian, who had been angry just now, sighed instead. Looking aggrieved, she said, "I'm so mad. That person just now deliberately didn't let us try other dresses."
Only then did Gu Sisi suddenly understand why Yang Qian was angry. She comforted her, "Maybe what she said is true!"
"Is that possible?" Yang Qian didn't believe it at all. "Such a big store, and the only dresses for sale are the ones on display outside. I don't believe they don't even have a signature dress."
"Come on!" Seeing that Yang Qian was getting angrier, Gu Sisi patted her on the back. "Maybe they think we can't afford it."
"Yes, they look down on people. They're so snobbish," Yang Qian said angrily.
Gu Sisi didn't care. "It's okay. Anyway, we're just trying on dresses. We don't have to buy them. We should compare prices."
"No!" Yang Qian dragged Gu Sisi in another direction, muttering, "This is a big event in your life. You can't settle for anything. Let's go to another store. I don't believe we can't find the right one."
Gu Sisi had no choice but to let her drag her away.
The two of them visited many stores but still couldn't make a decision.
"I think we shouldn't be in a hurry," Gu Sisi said.
The two were sitting in a coffee shop. Gu Sisi was stirring her coffee, looking at the people coming and going outside. She felt a bit melancholy. She didn't expect trying on dresses to be so tiring.
"Just keep trying!" Yang Qian didn't agree with this. She just didn't see a dress today that made her eyes light up and think, "This is the one."
So they had spent the whole day shopping.
"Isn't your future brother - in - law coming with you?" Yang Qian was a bit curious. She had hardly seen him.
Gu Sisi scratched the back of her head. In fact, she was also very confused. Although he had told her in advance to look around and even gave her a card.
But she really didn't understand. If Yang Qian hadn't dragged her here, she really didn't know when she would have come out.
"He's been very busy these days..." Up to now, Gu Sisi still didn't want to tell Yang Qian about her injured arm. One reason was that it was almost healed, and the other was that she was afraid of worrying her.
All in all, there was really no need.
"Ah, that's the life of the rich!" Yang Qian sighed melancholy.
"I'm so envious of you, Sister Sisi," Yang Qian lowered her head.
"Envious of what?" Gu Sisi looked at the suddenly down - cast Yang Qian. Worry welled up in her heart. Why was she feeling down again?
Yang Qian glanced at Gu Sisi and then lowered her head again.
"Nothing," she said simply. Then she gulped down the coffee in her hand. "It's just a small thing."
But immediately she frowned and licked her lips. "This is so bitter!"
Gu Sisi seemed not to hear her. She continued to stir her coffee.
"If you don't tell me, don't call me sister anymore," she said.
Yang Qian, who had been constantly drinking water, immediately choked. She coughed for a long time, then firmly grabbed Gu Sisi's hand and pleaded, "Don't do this, sister. I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything."
Seeing that her plan had worked, there was a smile in Gu Sisi's eyes.
"Is this the reason you're envious?"
"Yes, I'm so envious," Yang Qian said with a pout.
Gu Sisi almost burst out laughing. "Where did you hear that Huo Cheng and I fell in love at first sight?"
"Isn't it?" Yang Qian looked surprised. "I've always thought so."
"......"
Putting this aside for now, Gu Sisi asked helplessly, "But you don't want to date. Your parents will definitely arrange blind dates for you!"
"I want to, but can I just grab someone on the street and date them?" Yang Qian looked dejected.
So this was the reason for her bad mood. Her parents had arranged blind dates for her, but she didn't like them, and she didn't even have a chance to start dating on her own.
Gu Sisi, who had experience with blind dates, pondered for a long time. Frowning, she asked, "You don't like blind dates, but if you don't go, won't your parents have an opinion?"
"...... They will."
Sure enough, every free - spirited soul had even more head - strong parents.
"Then keep going on blind dates!" Gu Sisi said calmly.
Yang Qian looked like she was about to cry. "Sister Sisi, don't be like this. I really don't want to."
Gu Sisi sighed. "It doesn't mean you have to get married just because you go on a blind date. It's just a way to meet people. You can also find someone on your own. Your parents can't force you to be with someone you don't like, can they?"
After hearing this, Yang Qian thought for a long time.
"I think they might," she said.
"......?"
