“Eh?! Isn’t this my gown for tonight?”
She mumbled to herself as she put the cover back on and hugged the box.
“Just right! I don’t have to go to another place to change.” She carried the box back into her room.
Inside the room, seeing that the man was not done changing clothes in the walk-in closet, she went to the bathroom in the living room to change.
After putting on the red qipao evening gown, she stood in front of the mirror and observed herself vainly.
Although the engagement party was prepared in a rush, she still managed to lose quite a bit of weight.
At the very least, her protruding tummy before had flattened quite a lot.
Her waist appeared narrower in this form-fitting qipao.
Overall, she was satisfied with what she saw in the mirror.
She only recalled that she had to help the man with his tie after a while and quickly opened the bathroom door to go to him.
“Ziming, have you finished changing…”
She trailed off at the sight of the tall man in the bedroom.
She widened her eyes and looked at the man in astonishment.
“Wa! You look so handsome in this!”
The man looked way handsomer in his suit likely because it was picked out by her.
“As expected of what I chose!”
She happily walked around him before approaching the bed to pick up the tie.
“Come! Let me get this tie on you!”
As she said that, she walked up to him.
His lips curled into a smile as he saw her beam with joy.
“Okay.”
When the woman stood on her toes to get his tie on him, the man felt his heart swell and turn soft.
The chilly lines on his face also eased.
“Do you know? I used to watch my mom tie my father’s necktie every morning before he went to work, and they always seemed happy. I told myself then that, one day, I’d also help the one I like tie his necktie as that’s likely a fun thing to do.”
Her fingers began tying the tie proficiently for him as her voice became filled with happiness.
She was the type to do it once she set her mind on doing something.
Hence, at that time, she secretly practiced tying her father’s tie on her doll for a long time.
Eventually, she mastered it just as a man she could tie his necktie for came along.
That man betrayed her, alas.
Nonetheless, looking back now, she felt that she was pretty lucky, too. If it not for those people’s betrayal, she would not have met Ji Ziming.
The man felt at peace and warm inside at the sight of her smiling happily while tying his necktie.
He had never thought that, one day, a woman would help him tie his necktie so seriously and so happily.
Looking at her serious and zealous movements as she carefully tied his tie around his neck, his grin only got wider.
“Done.”
She nodded in satisfaction when she finished tying his tie and stroked it.
“You look really good!”
She looked up happily at him.
She then saw his dark eyes gazing at her with love.
In that moment, her heart skipped a beat as she blushed.
“Pei Ge, let’s get married tomorrow.”
Before she could recover from the shock brought by his words, she was already in his tight embrace.
How can this woman be so adorable?
His love for her was growing deeper. Right now, he could no longer let go of her.
“Let’s get married tomorrow.”
There was just this one thought in his mind.
She greedily took a deep breath as she smelled a fresh shower gel from him.
“Alright. Let’s get married tomorrow.”
She hugged him tightly.
Just like the man who was embracing her tightly, she, too, was deeply in love with him and wanted to get married to him fast.
He broke into a silly smile upon hearing her words.
Both looked like sculptures as they quietly hugged each other.
This lasted until her stomach rumble.
“Let’s go grab something to eat.”
He laughed as he let go of this woman, who was feeling embarrassed, and gently held her hand.
“Mhm.”
She nodded and obediently followed him out of the room.
It was almost 6 PM, and the bright sky had already dimmed.
They strolled along the pathway in a forest. Amid the rustling leaves and trickling spring, they could hear each other’s breathing.
Although she was hungry, she wanted to walk slowly. She hoped to bask in this special feeling of them being the only ones in the world.
However, regardless of how long the path was, there would always be an end to it.
The two soon reached a brightly lit area.
“What do you feel like eating?”
He asked her lightly as they arrived at the place.
“Anything will do. When the banquet begins, we’ll still have to eat.”
“Mhm…”
…
As the two were discussing about food, three people were so excited they almost rushed out of the bedroom.
Madam Ji let out an excited laughter as she hung up the phone.
Excitement and elation were written all over her face.
“Ha ha ha! I’m finally getting a grandchild!”
