Chapter 1050: Mo Family Princess’s Marriage [52]

Mo Weiyi stopped in her tracks after entering the bridal shop.

It wasn’t until she heard footsteps coming from behind that she continued forward.

She swore.

If Xiao Yebai didn’t follow her, she would never pay attention to him again!

But when she found out Xiao Yebai really did come, she felt like a weight had been lifted from her heart.

Upon entering the shop, a staff member rushed to greet her, “Miss Mo, let me help you.”

The train of the white wedding dress was very long, and it was all wrinkled and disordered from her running out earlier.

Mo Weiyi stood there, letting the staff member straighten out the train.

When Xiao Yebai walked in, she snorted softly, turning away her face.

In the mirror, the little princess dressed in a wedding gown had a face full of haughty pride.

Finally, when everything was tidy, the staff member spoke with a smile, “Miss Mo, the other four dresses have been prepared, would you like to try them on as well?”

“Sure, thank you.” The way Xiao Yebai finally came in and even sat down to wait for her improved Mo Weiyi’s mood significantly, softening her tone markedly.

The staff member also seemed flattered.

After all, from the moment the little princess of the Mo Family entered, she had been full of airs, with a perpetual frown; the staff member thought she had caused offense with inadequate service.

As Mo Weiyi was following the staff toward the dressing room, suddenly hurried footsteps approached.

And then…

“I’m sorry.”

Mo Weiyi stopped walking and turned to look.

She saw a female staffer hurrying in front of Xiao Yebai, her face tense with apologies, “I’m so sorry, Mr. Chu, the groom’s suit…”

“You have mistaken me for someone else,” Xiao Yebai interrupted.

The expression of the staffer froze.

The staff member at Mo Weiyi’s side quickly went over and pulled her aside, “I’m sorry, sir, she is a new employee and has mistaken you for someone else, please don’t mind it.”

It was indeed awkward to mistake someone for the groom in a bridal shop!

Luckily, Xiao Yebai didn’t mind, “It’s fine.”

It was only then that Mo Weiyi, realizing something belatedly, looked around and asked, “By the way, where is Mr. Chu?”

It only dawned on her that Chu Xiuhuang wasn’t in the VIP room; could it be… he also went out for a smoke?

The staff member hastily replied, “Mr. Chu said he had to step out for a moment and may not have returned yet.”

Mo Weiyi simply responded with an “Oh” and didn’t think any further of it.

Until she put on the second dress.

This was a sleeveless, high-collar, modified red cheongsam. The soft satin silk hugged her body’s curves, almost dazzling in color.

When Mo Weiyi emerged, she was looking straight at Xiao Yebai.

Only, the man was reading a magazine with his head slightly bowed.

Mo Weiyi: “…”

“Miss Mo,” the staff member exclaimed again in amazement, “Your skin is so fair, you look truly stunning in this cheongsam and the size is a perfect fit.”

Mo Weiyi hummed inwardly and turned to face the mirror, “Do I not suit cheongsams well?”

Everyone says a cheongsam is the most elegant and feminine outfit because it highlights a woman’s figure to perfection.

And what troubled her the most was her flat chest!

“Not at all,” the staff member exaggerated her tone, “Miss Mo, your figure is so great, how can you not suit it?”

While speaking, she actually turned back to ask a certain person, “If you don’t believe me, ask this gentleman.”

Mo Weiyi’s eyes slanted.

In the mirror, unexpectedly, her gaze met Xiao Yebai’s.

He had put down his magazine at some point and from behind his glasses, his black eyes narrowed slightly, evidently watching her.

For some reason, Mo Weiyi felt her heart constrict, her cheeks burning red-hot.

The VIP room fell silent.

After a few seconds passed, Xiao Yebai finally blessed them with his opinion, “Not bad.”

The staff member was speechless.

Miss Mo’s friend…

Could he be any less charming?

As a bride-to-be, the one thing she most desired was to be the most beautiful woman on her wedding day, so the dresses she wore needed to be carefully selected. Considering the immense value of these dresses and indeed how stunning she looked in them, was a little praise too much to ask for?

Mo Weiyi was evidently affected by his remark as well, “I don’t want this one.”

The staff member was taken aback, “Miss Mo, these were all personally selected by Mr. Mo in advance…”

“Xiaobai said it doesn’t look good, I won’t wear it,” Mo Weiyi pouted, “Let’s try the next one.”

Staff member: “… Alright then.”

Mo Weiyi quickly changed into the next dress and came out.

This time, it was a bright yellow Traditional Chinese Wedding Dress, the satin surface embroidered with delicate designs of flowers and birds, featuring a high collar, cascading nine-part sleeves, and a skirt hem that spread open in layers, resembling flower petals in its magnificent, dignified arrangement.

When Mo Weiyi stood in front of the mirror and then put on the headdress.

“It’s so beautiful!”

“It’s gorgeous!”

“Miss Mo, this Traditional Chinese Wedding Dress really suits you…”

The surrounding staff spared no effort in their praise.

Although Miss Mo was only 18 years old, having grown up in luxury with the finest clothes and food, her skin was tender white and her temperament lovely. Furthermore, with her tall stature yet delicate frame, and a small oval face that was exquisitely charming, she carried the weight of such a heavy traditional outfit without any issue.

Who knew that Mo Weiyi, looking once again at the man in the mirror, would ask, “Xiaobai, do you think it looks good?”

All the staff turned their attention to Xiao Yebai.

Holding their breath, tense and anxious.

Fearing that he would give another “It’s okay”…

Already, one qipao had been rejected by Mo Weiyi, and if this Traditional Chinese Wedding Dress was also turned down, the shop’s loss would be truly significant.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Yebai pushed up his glasses and opened his lips like a decadent scholar, “Hmm.”

Everyone: “???”

Hmm?

What did that mean?

However, Mo Weiyi immediately brightened, her smile curving her cat-like eyes, “Then that’s good.”

If even Xiaobai said it looked good, then it seemed this dress must be fine.

She looked at herself in the mirror, her delicate white fingers adjusting the strings of pearls dangling from her headdress, “It’s just that this headdress is so heavy, can I not wear it at that time?”

The staff, worried that Miss Mo might have an issue, reassured her, “Yes, you can have the make-up artist style your hair differently, and you don’t have to wear the headdress.”

Mo Weiyi nodded, “Then that’s good.”

“By the way, Miss Mo.” The staff member reminded, “When will Mr. Chu return? He hasn’t tried on a single outfit.”

Mo Weiyi blinked, “Right, why hasn’t he come back yet?”

Seeing the hopeful expressions on everyone’s faces…

Forget it!

Mo Weiyi said, “Then I’ll call him and ask.”

She turned around, picking up the hem of her dress to find her phone.

When she came in, she had just thrown her phone on the table.

Which meant…

In front of Xiao Yebai.

Going over to pick up her phone, Mo Weiyi sat directly opposite him and dialed the number.

After a few rings, it was answered, and she deliberately pinched her voice, “Where did you go? Why haven’t you come back yet? Everyone is waiting for you to try on your clothes.”

Chu Xiuhuang chuckled twice, “Waiting for me to try on clothes?”

“Yes, after trying on clothes today, we have to test the wedding banquet tomorrow. How can we do it without you, the groom?” Mo Weiyi bit her lip, her cat eyes fixed on the face of the man opposite her.

She noticed Xiao Yebai was truly unperturbed. Despite her acting this way…

He could still impassively read his magazine, without even a twitch of his eyebrows.

With determination, she gave an ultimatum, “You have five minutes to appear before me, or I’m not getting married!”

Xiao Yebai turned a page of the magazine.

On the phone, Chu Xiuhuang let out a series of deep chuckles, “Five minutes? Are you in such a hurry?”

“Are you coming or not?!” Mo Weiyi was nearly running out of patience.

Especially when she realized that her enthusiastic performance was receiving no reaction from a certain audience member…

“Little Princess,” Chu Xiuhuang leisurely spoke, “Do you really want me to be there in five minutes?”

“Nonsense!” Mo Weiyi clenched her fingers, “Are you deaf? I’ll say it again, you have five minutes to appear before me, or let’s forget about the wedding!”

“Then let’s forget it.”

“Are you coming…” Mo Weiyi suddenly stopped, doubting she had heard correctly, “What did you say?”

“I said…” Chu Xiuhuang spoke deliberately, “Let’s forget it.”

Mo Weiyi: “You…”

She would have never imagined Chu Xiuhuang would say such a thing.

After all, when she proposed marriage, both Elder Mo and Mo Yaoxiong believed her without question, and Chu Xiuhuang neither objected nor asked for her opinion.

He accepted the prospect of marrying her so naturally, and even brought Elder Chu over that very night, cooperating throughout the whole process. In this time, he played the role of the fiance well, accompanying her in finalizing wedding details, inviting her to dinners and shopping, with gentle consideration, always stopping just short…

Biting her lip, Mo Weiyi suddenly stood up and, still dressed in the Traditional Chinese Wedding Dress, walked out of the VIP room once more.

“Miss Mo?”

The staff exchanged glances, at a loss.

As for the man who had been intently reading his magazine, he lifted his head, his deep, ink-dark eyes following her retreating figure, his lips pressed into a thin line.
