Chapter 1049: Mo Family Princess’s Marriage [51]

About ten minutes later, the fitting room door opened.

Mo Weiyi walked out, escorted by the staff, wearing a wedding dress.

The design featured a strapless bodice, but a layer of sheer tulle covered the exposed areas. Her long hair was all pulled up, and the veil draped down from the top of her head, falling just so over her shoulders.

Moving down, the skirt ballooned out from the cinched waist, studded with tiny diamonds that, with her every movement, reflected dazzling points of light under the illumination.

“Mrs. Chu,” the staff member couldn’t contain her excitement, “this wedding dress suits Miss Mo perfectly!”

Mrs. Chu had already stood up and scrutinized Mo Weiyi from head to toe, then nodded slightly, “Not bad.”

Though the young miss was still of a tender age, her figure was exceptional, standing tall and statuesque at one meter seventy–truly a living mannequin.

Chu Xiuhuang’s eyes shone with admiration, “Beautiful!”

Su Wanwan cheerfully approached her friend, “I told you that you’d look pretty in a wedding dress.”

Seeing Mo Weiyi still downcast, she furrowed her brow, “Weiyi, are you okay?”

Why so sullen all the time?

Mo Weiyi shook her head, “Wanwan, go try on the bridesmaid dress.”

“Oh.”

As Su Wanwan was led away to change into the bridesmaid dress, Mrs. Chu spoke up, “Axui, aren’t you going to change?”

Chu Xiuhuang, who had been taking photos of Mo Weiyi with his phone, didn’t look up at the question, “Mom, it’s enough for the Little Princess to try on a few dresses for you to see.”

Mrs. Chu: “I naturally want to see hers, but you are the groom. It’ll be a laughingstock if your clothes don’t fit properly during the wedding.”

“No rush.” Chu Xiuhuang smiled, “How many gowns are there today in total?”

The staff member quickly answered, “All the ordered gowns have been expedited to the store. Aside from this wedding dress, there’s also a cheongsam, a Traditional Chinese Wedding Dress, and two pink evening dresses for the toasting ceremony.”

Chu Xiuhuang nodded, his tone gentle, “Little Princess, does the wedding dress fit well?”

Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, “Mhm.”

“Mhm?” Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow, “Why do you seem less than pleased?”

Mo Weiyi stayed silent.

Pouting, her cat-like eyes involuntarily wandered towards the door.

But aside from the staff, there was no one else to be seen there.

Chu Xiuhuang followed her gaze and looked outside, “Right, where’s Mr. Xiao?”

Mo Weiyi looked at him, “What about him?”

“Didn’t you say Mr. Xiao was coming to accompany you for the dress fitting today? Why hasn’t he shown up yet?”

Mo Weiyi replied irritably, “He’s outside.”

“What’s he doing outside?” Chu Xiuhuang smiled, “Should I call him in?”

At those words, Mo Weiyi’s eyes actually lit up, “Really?”

Chu Xiuhuang: “…”

Since their first meeting, Mo Weiyi had always regarded him with coldness, that unmistakable disdain straight from the heart… to put it bluntly, it was all over her face.

Even after they decided to get married, there hadn’t been much of an improvement in her attitude.

So this was the first time he saw such a response from her, her cat’s eyes looking at him filled with surprise and anticipation…

“Miss Mo.”

A server ran out from the inside, “Your friend is calling for you.”

Mo Weiyi came back to her senses, “What’s wrong with her?”

The server smiled, “She says the dress isn’t quite right. Maybe… you should take a look?”

“Alright then.”

Mo Weiyi immediately gathered her skirt and followed the server inside.

…

In the fitting room, Su Wanwan, wearing a pink off-shoulder bridesmaid dress with a cinched waist, was furrowing her brows so tightly she could crush a fly.

“What’s wrong, does the dress not fit?” Mo Weiyi looked at her, “It looks good, wow, I didn’t expect you to be so curvy, Wanwan. Why do you always hide your cleavage, doing it on purpose, aren’t you?”

Su Wanwan, at a loss for words, tugged at the neckline, “My grandfather just called me. He said there’s some problem with the paperwork for going abroad and told me to come back immediately.”

“Ah…” Mo Weiyi instantly puckered her lips, “What problem? Can’t you go back and deal with it in the afternoon?”

“Probably not, my grandfather personally called me, it must be pretty serious.”

As soon as Su Wanwan was finished with the wedding, she was going to study in Los Angeles, M Country. The school was already set, only some registration documents were missing.

“Then all right,” Mo Weiyi could only agree.

“By the way,” Su Wanwan said, “Can I not wear such frilly stuff?”

Not to mention all the lace, but also in pink, it really didn’t fit with her persona at all.

Mo Weiyi tilted her head to take another look, “I think it’s pretty, and it suits you.”

“Really?” Su Wanwan looked at her doubtfully, “I always feel weird in it, and…”

As she spoke, she pulled the neckline up, “Anyway, just find me a safer design, this size is fine.”

Mo Weiyi couldn’t help but glance at her chest again.

Then at her own.

Um…

Compared to Wanwan’s surging waves, hers were…

Indeed somewhat lackluster.

Could it be…

Mo Weiyi had a sudden epiphany.

Could it be because her bust was too small, her figure not voluptuous enough, that Xiaobai had that attitude after they were intimate?

After all, no man dislikes busty girls…

“I know why Xiaobai doesn’t like me,” she said.

Suddenly hearing this, Su Wanwan was like, “???”

…

While the two young ladies were choosing clothes inside, Mrs. Chu, growing impatient, checked the time, “I’m going to be late, hurry them up.”

“How about you go have some tea first? I’ll send you a video in a bit,” Chu Xiuhuang suggested.

Mrs. Chu clearly ran out of patience too, as she stood up with her purse, “Think about what I said earlier.”

“What did you say?” Chu Xiuhuang smiled.

Mrs. Chu glared at him, “Stop pretending, you know what I mean.”

…

Not long after Mrs. Chu left, the two young ladies finally came out.

Su Wanwan was still wearing the dress from before.

Chu Xiuhuang raised an eyebrow, “Does the bridesmaid dress not fit?”

Mo Weiyi instead asked, “Where’s auntie?”

Chu Xiuhuang, “My mom had an appointment at the teahouse at noon, she left already.”

Mo Weiyi pouted slightly, “That was quick?”

They barely exchanged a few words.

Chu Xiuhuang laughed, “No problem, I’ll send her the video later.”

Su Wanwan went over to get her bag, “Weiyi, I’ll be going first then.”

Chu Xiuhuang was surprised, “What, your friend is leaving too?”

“She’s got something going on,” Mo Weiyi said, not bothering to explain. “I’m taking her out.”

At those words, Chu Xiuhuang smiled meaningfully but didn’t stop them.

…

Once outside, Su Wanwan said, “That’s fine, you don’t need to see me off, I can go back by myself.”

“How can that be okay?” Mo Weiyi said. “I can’t rest easy if you go back alone. Here’s what we’ll do–I’ll have Xiaobai drive you.”

“I don’t want that…” Su Wanwan’s face was a display of refusal.

Have her ride in that big block of ice’s car?

Was he trying to say she was too hot?

“It’s okay, he has nothing to do today anyway,” Mo Weiyi said, quickly pulling Su Wanwan by the hand and heading outside the hallway.

She was still wearing that wedding dress, so honestly, she felt a bit nervous inside.

Would Xiaobai think she looked pretty in a wedding dress?

Although she knew her figure wasn’t perfect yet, she was young, only 18, and still had time to grow…

Mo Weiyi was lost in her thoughts, but when they turned a corner, she saw that the lounge area ahead was empty, no one on the sofa.

The small coffee table was still there, and so was the coffee cup, but the man who had been reading a magazine on the sofa was gone.

“What’s up?” Su Wanwan asked curiously, looking at her friend.

Mo Weiyi said nothing but took out her phone and immediately dialed someone’s number.

After several rings, the call was finally answered. Without waiting for the person on the other end to speak, she immediately blurted out her question, “Where did you go?”

Xiao Yebai’s indifferent voice came through, “What’s wrong?”

“I’m asking you, where did you go?” Mo Weiyi stressed her words.

Xiao Yebai: “Outside.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Weiyi grabbed the hem of her skirt and ran outside, “I asked you to come with me today to try on wedding dresses and you ran off by yourself! You’re too much! Do you really hate being with me that much? If you didn’t want to come you could have said no, but you agreed and now this…”

“Weiyi?” Su Wanwan hurried to follow.

She wasn’t sure what was happening, but seeing Mo Weiyi’s reddened eyes and listening to her words, she could guess that it must be related to Xiao Yebai again.

The man on the phone didn’t respond, and Mo Weiyi’s emotions grew more and more agitated. She pushed Su Wanwan’s hand away and ran straight outside.

This was the tenth floor of a shopping mall, and it being the weekend, there were people coming and going at midday. Suddenly, a bride wearing a white diamond-studded wedding dress and a veil burst out from the bridal shop, drawing numerous glances from the passersby.

Especially since the bride’s eyes were red, and her beautiful, delicate face was full of grievance…

“I’m asking you, where are you now? What did you go do?” Mo Weiyi gripped her phone tightly, feeling her voice trembling.

She didn’t even understand why, but the feeling of being wronged, it was as if it had been suppressed for too long and now it burst forth, uncontrollable.

Especially when she heard a “snap–”

The phone was hung up.

Mo Weiyi stood there dumbfounded, her entire body stiffened.

“Weiyi…” Su Wanwan caught up, just speaking her name when suddenly…

“Waah–” Mo Weiyi took her hand, tears pouring out, “Wanwan… Xiaobai… Xiaobai he…”

“What happened to him?” Su Wanwan asked.

“He… he…” Mo Weiyi sobbed, unable to form complete sentences, and it took her ages to spit out a few words, “He’s gone.”

“Where did he go?” Su Wanwan finally remembered.

That’s right, didn’t Xiao Yebai say he was going to the underground parking lot to park the car?

Why did it take so long?

An hour had passed, so did he really sneak away?

God damn, she was right?

“I don’t know…” Mo Weiyi shook her head, “And… and he hung up… hung up on me sob sob sob…”

Su Wanwan was at a loss for words, “Forget it, if he’s gone, he’s gone, isn’t Chu Xiuhuang still here…”

“I don’t want…” Mo Weiyi vigorously shook her head, “It’s not like… like I like him…”

Su Wanwan: “…”

“Sob sob sob Wanwan…” Mo Weiyi, with her eyes closed, cried until she became a tearful mess.

Just when Su Wanwan was out of options…

“What happened?”

Su Wanwan was startled, and when she turned around and saw Xiao Yebai, who had appeared at some unknown time, she immediately pulled on Mo Weiyi’s arm, “Weiyi, Xiao Yebai is here.”

Mo Weiyi also opened her eyes in surprise, tearfully looking at him.

The man, as ever, held a handsome but expressionless face, even when he saw her tear-stained cheeks…

His voice was deep, “What’s going on?”

Su Wanwan subconsciously wanted to explain, “Weiyi said you…”

“It’s nothing.” Mo Weiyi suddenly spoke up, “Wanwan, weren’t you going home? You should leave now.”

Su Wanwan: “Huh?”

Mo Weiyi swiftly wiped away her tears, her voice still a bit hoarse, “It’s fine, you go ahead, I’ll send you the photos later.”

Su Wanwan glanced at her, then at Xiao Yebai.

Moreover, Chu Xiuhuang was still inside…

“Alright then.” Su Wanwan said, giving a warning look, “Xiao Yebai, I’m warning you, don’t you dare bully Weiyi, or I won’t let you off the hook!”

After rattling off that, she grabbed her bag and ran out.

Boy, did she run fast.

Mo Weiyi was feeling pretty aggrieved, but she nearly burst out laughing at Su Wanwan’s cowardly exit…

She barely managed to suppress a smile, turned her face, and saw Xiao Yebai looking at her.

Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, speaking fiercely, “Where did you run off to?”

Xiao Yebai responded with a question of his own, “Why are you crying?”

“What’s it to you?” Mo Weiyi’s tone was sharp, “I’m asking you, where did you run off to just now?”

Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, finally answering, “Went out for a smoke.”

Mo Weiyi asked, “Then why did you hang up on me?”

Xiao Yebai continued, “Got into the elevator, no signal.”

Mo Weiyi: “…”

Is that it?

“Anything else you want to ask?” Xiao Yebai inquired.

Mo Weiyi sniffed, remaining silent.

She was dressed in a pristine custom-made wedding dress, even the veil was worn with intricate perfection, yet at this moment she looked pitiful, her reddened eyes filled with grievances, her face still shimmering with tears…

Xiao Yebai looked away, his Adam’s apple bobbing, “Have you finished trying on all the dresses? If you’re done…”

“I haven’t!” Mo Weiyi interrupted him.

When Xiao Yebai looked back at her…

Mo Weiyi turned around, “I want you to accompany me while I try them on, come with me.”

After saying that, she headed into the bridal shop without looking back.

In the bustling corridor, the man stood tall and straight, frowning slightly.

A few seconds later, he lifted his foot and followed her in.
