Chapter 760 Not the dress
Chapter 760 Not the dress
Climbing the last step of stairs to the second floor of Ages of Love, Zhao Ya'Er's figure steps into view as her mother follows behind. The mother and daughter duo had arrived together but when they saw that the first floor was empty, they knew where to go.
That was because they saw Yue Ling and Madam Lu's car parked outside.
After all, they were excited to see Yue Ling try on all the wedding dresses, they had helped Madam Lu picked out.
Lu Tian was supposed to be here to find his tuxedo but wanting to spend some girl time with Yue Ling, they had forced him out of the picture.
"Where is Ah Ling? How come I don't see her. I'm sure her car was still parked outside."
Madam Zhao Asks as she looks around for the bride-to-be. Unfortunately, the retired model's silhouette was nowhere in sight.
It was at that moment that she remembers the conversation between Madam Lu and Yang Yang. She quickly put the pieces together and her face drained of all colors.
"Oh my goodness, don't tell me that she…"
She was unable to finish her sentence and swallows the forbidden word. She didn't dare to jinx the situation as it was already bad enough that the bride is not here.
"Oh my God!!"
Suddenly, Zhao Ya'Er shriek in surprise and quickly covers her mouth. Her eyes lit up with fireworks without realizing she had terrified the three other people.
Madam Lu swore inside, her niece's sudden scream was so loud, she would be surprised if all the glass in Ages of Love were to shatter into millions of pieces.
However, brushing that thought aside, she, along with Madam Zhao and Yang Yang turned to look in the direction the young woman was looking at.
The dressing room.
And like the young woman with a Pixi-cut hairstyle, all three of them inhale a mouthful of air in surprise.
Madam Lu: "Oh."
Madam Zhao: "My."
Yang Yang: "God."
Like time had slowed down for everyone inside Ages of Love, Yue Ling calmly walks further out from the dressing room. She stood in front of the mirrors with her back turned to it and face the four people in the room.
On her body was an utterly fetching masterpiece designed by a famous designer abroad.
It was designed with floral appliques that allowed the sheer corset bodice to showcase an off-shoulder neckline. On the sleeves was a layer of tulle that catches the attention of those who lay eyes upon it. The skirt paraded like a ballgown silhouette designed with striking pleats that flow behind in a dramatic cathedral train.
The wedding dress combined with her figure made her look like an enchanting vampire princess.
Anyone who saw her at this moment would feel their heart flutter in awe.
Even Yang Yang, who like men could feel his heart skip a beat at the sight of her beauty.
Seeing that no one was saying anything, Yue Ling pouts her lips. She lowers her head to look down at the dress then back at the four people.
"Is it that bad?"
"…"
Hearing her question full of insecurity, four heads shook their head together to reassure her. The only thing they could think about was, how can a dress look so good on a person?
After a long moment of silence, Yang Yang was the first to come to his senses. He walks over to Yue Ling and couldn't help but ponder to himself.
Yue Ling truly has a beautiful figure. It is a lot nicer than he had expected. She is on the slimmer side, but she was well proportioned and had curves in the right places. Without a body like this, any dress will look good on her.
Now that he can see her like this in person, he can understand why she has won so many awards as a supermodel.
As he comes to a stop in front of her, he gets rid of his thoughts and nods his head as a new thought came to mind.
"My darling, you are truly a masterpiece. A magnificent one. It is a pity that you are no longer a model."
His sudden voice brought Madam Lu back to reality. She scoffs at how he dares to call her daughter-in-law, 'my darling'. Even if he likes men, she will not allow anyone other than her son to called Yue Ling in such an intimate way.
Not only that, but there was also another thing bother her.
She strides over to them and without giving any warning, she smacks the back of Yang Yang's head.
"Yang Yang, how dare you look at my daughter-in-law with such predator eyes."
"…"
Yang Yang was struck flabbergasted by the middle-aged woman. He turns his head to look at her before raising a hand to stroke his head.
There was no pain since Madam Lu didn't use any strength, but he felt that he had been wrong by her.
How can she say that he was a predator? He was only looking at Yue Ling because he suddenly came up with the idea of asking her to be the model for Ages of Love.
However, he ignores her by rolling his eyes and looks back at Yue Ling.
His entire being turns to the professional wedding planner that he is, and he touches his chin with one hand.
"Hmm…"
He stares at her from head to toe again and purses his lip with slight narrowing eyes.
This dress… I can see that it is made for you, but something is missing."
Raising his index finger without moving his hand from his chin, he taps his lip. As he thought more about what is missing, his eyes narrow more like they were going to close.
Suddenly, the light bulb on his head lit up brightly and he found the answer to his problem.
"That's it."
He moves his hand from his chin and snaps with his fingers.
"This is not the dress for you."
He takes a step closer to Yue Ling and places his hands on her shoulders. He carefully spun her around to face the mirror and points to the dress.
"It is a beautiful dress indeed but not glamorous enough for you."
Taking a step to the side, his eyes remain on her reflection in the mirror as he smiles.
"You need a wedding dress that screams sparkles."
His words fell and both his hands raise as his fingers wiggle in a gesture of spirit fingers.
"A wedding dress that makes you shine brighter than the stars."
Madam Lu, Madam Zhao, and Zhao Ya'Er were shocked and offended when Yang Yang said the dress wasn't for Yue Ling. However, the more they listened to his explanation, they nod their head in agreement.
The dress Yue Ling was wearing is stunning, but it wasn't extravagant enough for her big day.
Taking Yang Yang's words into consideration, all three women march towards the many wedding dresses that have yet been touched. Each person didn't hesitate to rummage through the racks to find the perfect dress for Yue Ling.
Zhao Ya'Er picks up a dress and turns to look at her best friend.
"Yue-Yue, what do you think about this one? It's pretty with a lot of diamonds."
Madam Zhao rolled her eyes when she saw the dress her daughter picked out.
"Ya'Er, we're trying to make Ah Ling stand out, not blind the guests."
Raising her hand, she shows Yue Ling the mermaid style dress she picked.
"Try this one. I am 100 percent sure that you will rock this dress and when my nephew sees you in this, he will drool enough to fill a pool."
Her last word had yet to fall when Madam Lu pushes her aside and smiles at Yue Ling with a slightly raised chin. In her hand was a dress designed with multiple layers of tulle.
"I'm her mother-in-law, so my pick is what Ah Ling will try on next."
Yang Yang heaves a long sigh in frustration hearing the three women argue. He walks up to them and stretches both his arms out with palms raised to silence them.
"Shh! Ladies, you are being too loud. It's not even your wedding."
He looks at Yue Ling with a polite smile as if he had done the right thing. However, in a split second, he shows her the dress he wanted her to try on next.
"Yue Ling, as your wedding planner, I would like you to consider trying on this dress."
"…"
Yue Ling stares at the four people through the mirror. She didn't dare to turn around as she was scared.
She had only tried on one of the many dresses and the situation had already become like this.
Instead of a dress fitting, she feels like a baby-sitter watching over four children.
"It's going to be a long day…"
Her words fell in a murmur as she slowly closes her eyes and takes a deep breath to try and calm her mind.
She could have just put her foot down and tell them to stop. As a fashion designer, she knows what style is best for her, but not wanting to hurt their feelings, she decided to stay quiet.
After all, they had taken time out of their schedules to plan today for her. The least she can do is hold on and cooperate with them.
