"Okay." Huo Cheng stood up and patted Jiang Lihao on the shoulder. "But don't push yourself too hard. After all, this has something to do with me. Don't hesitate to ask for my help when you need it."
Jiang Lihao turned around, his face once again showing a hint of rascality. "How could I? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"Just remember that." Huo Cheng patted his chest, then said to Gu Sisi, "Since we've found the person, let's go first!"
"Ah?" Gu Sisi was left stunned, her face showing only shock. "Can't I stay with her for a while?"
Huo Cheng glanced at the time and shook his head. "There's no need to rush. It's time to go and try on wedding dresses now."
After hearing this, Gu Sisi was in a dilemma. She had no mood for that at the moment, but since it was something that made Huo Cheng so eager, it must be very important.
Seeing the tangled look on Gu Sisi's face, Jiang Lihao joked, "What? Do you think I'm unreliable at first sight, so you're worried about leaving her with me?"
Gu Sisi quickly denied it and shook her head. "I'm not..."
"Then just leave it to me. I'm a good person." Jiang Lihao quickly interrupted Gu Sisi's words and escorted them to the door. Seeing the two standing side by side at the door, he also smiled, his smile tinged with a bit of sentiment. "You must invite me to your wedding later! Otherwise, I'm sure to forget."
"Don't worry." Huo Cheng shook his head. "I won't let you off. I've been waiting for your wedding gift for a long time."
"I'll definitely give you a really surprising gift package." Jiang Lihao quickly shooed them away. "Hurry up! I'm not only delaying your time but also mine for taking care of her."
Without waiting for them to say anything, he directly closed the door.
The two retraced their steps. Gu Sisi kept turning back to look at the concealed door.
"What's wrong?" Huo Cheng fastened his seat - belt and saw Gu Sisi staring blankly out of the window.
"I'm thinking about how to get here next time."
Huo Cheng paused for a moment, then shook his head with a solemn expression. "Don't come alone. It's very dangerous here. If it weren't for him leading the way just now, we might have been trapped inside."
"Traps? Are there traps outside the house too?" Gu Sisi was a bit surprised.
Huo Cheng gave a soft "mm". Seeing that Gu Sisi still looked confused, he said, "Don't you think he opened the door a bit too quickly? He should have been staying in the basement all the time."
"What...?"
"Or rather, he knew from the moment we arrived."
Gu Sisi opened her mouth in surprise. Huo Cheng smiled softly.
"His family knows some capable and extraordinary people. So you don't need to worry too much about Yang Qian being with him. As for him now," Huo Cheng pondered for a moment, "he will surely spare no effort of the Jiang family to save her."
Hearing this, although Gu Sisi didn't fully understand, she could vaguely sense that it was something powerful. She nodded. "Oh." Her eyes looked a bit dazed.
"If you want to come and see, just call me like today. I'll come with you."
Huo Cheng didn't miss the look of disappointment in Gu Sisi's eyes.
"Okay." Gu Sisi answered quickly.
The two soon arrived at the Huo Mansion. As soon as they entered, Gu Sisi was startled. The crazy bald - headed man from last night was standing inside.
She instinctively wanted to hide behind Huo Cheng, but it was too late. She was immediately spotted by the man.
His eyes lit up, and he beckoned to her. "Come on, bride - to - be. Hurry up and try on the dress. I made it overnight."
His voice was so shrill and loud that everyone bustling in the living room turned their eyes to Gu Sisi.
Helplessly, Gu Sisi slowly stepped out from behind Huo Cheng.
She forced a smile. "It's so fast!"
The man's expression changed. He raised his little finger coquettishly. "This is an era of fast - paced life. Who has time to be slow? Go and try it on. I've prepared several!"
Gu Sisi turned to look at Huo Cheng, casting a pleading look at him. No, she still had a shadow of this man from last night.
But Huo Cheng clearly saw it and pretended not to notice. He walked straight towards the sofa and slumped down on it with his hands outstretched.
This was it. Gu Sisi was on the verge of tears.
"Come on, bride - to - be." The man pulled her over, sized her up for a few rounds, then waved his hand. A group of people surrounded them. "Hurry up. Take off her clothes first."
As soon as the words were out, Gu Sisi was surrounded by a group of people and taken upstairs. To her surprise, they entered her room.
This must have been planned long ago, Gu Sisi sighed silently. But sighing was of no use.
A group of women directly took off Gu Sisi's clothes.
Seeing someone come out of the room upstairs, the two made a gesture. The man clapped his hands and shouted loudly, "The bride - to - be is coming out. Everyone get ready."
The door slowly opened. Gu Sisi awkwardly placed her hands on both sides of the wedding dress and looked downstairs. Her legs went weak. There were so many people!
The driver, the gardener... Almost all the people Gu Sisi had or hadn't met were there.
"Wow~" Everyone exclaimed in unison.
"So beautiful!" Someone whispered in admiration.
Gu Sisi was slowly led downstairs and brought in front of the man. "Boss, how does this one look?"
The man sized it up for a few glances, as if seriously considering. Suddenly, he came to his senses, picked up the hanger beside him and hit his assistant on the head. "What are you showing me for? Show it to the groom."
The assistant covered his head, his face wrinkled like a bun. Gu Sisi, who had her head down, couldn't help but laugh.
She laughed involuntarily.
The wedding dress was a crystal - clear white, shining all over. It almost blended with Gu Sisi's snow - white skin. The design was simple yet exquisite, both gorgeous and classical, elegant and charming. She was wearing a set of accessories selected by Huo Cheng around her neck, making the bride's face look extremely cute. The smile on her face showed a blush like a red apple.
"It's great." Huo Cheng suddenly said.
Only then did Gu Sisi remember her current situation, and her face turned even redder.
"Does it need improvement? Maybe we should try some other ones?" the designer asked.
"No, this one is perfect." Huo Cheng showed a satisfied look.
The designer smiled and snapped his fingers. "I knew Mr. Huo had good taste. This was specially customized by me. If you're not satisfied with this one, I'm afraid I don't have the talent to make you happy."
Jude, a rising star in the fashion circle, was well - known for his talent and strange temper.
Just as the group was about to leave in a grand manner, suddenly, Jude turned around and said to the two of them, "Since you're so generous with your money, I'll make an exception and customize a matching suit for this wedding dress for free!"
Originally, Jude was a professional suit designer. But one day, he announced that he would no longer design suits and only focus on wedding dresses. After years of hard work, he also achieved quite a lot, but it was still a bit inferior to his previous achievements.
"Thank you very much." Huo Cheng knew how hard it was to invite Jude.
Jude was originally his first choice for the wedding suit.
Maybe their wedding would make a big splash in the fashion circle and be reported in the fashion newspapers.
"You have good taste, and you deserve it."
As soon as he said this, the group quickly left the Huo Mansion.
The preparations for the wedding were stepped up. The invitation cards were sent out. For a while, the entire upper - class society in the city knew about this news, which caused a small stir.
Almost everyone in the drama crew where Gu Sisi worked and in her company knew about it.
Those who didn't know before were all shocked.
The most frightened one was the little actress Liao Qingzi. Seeing the headline in the newspaper, her face turned pale.
She had actually offended the Huo family.
