Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

“How do I look?”

Gracefully lifting a part of the skirt, Qiao Luo floated into Qi Yanli's view. His eyes immediately lit up.

The manager complimented, “Mrs. Qi is breathtaking in this dress. It really shows off her slender waist.”

The zealous flattery made Qiao Luo self-conscious. Her ears reddened as she fidgeted, tucking her hair behind her ear, and swallowing her saliva.

When Qiao Luo turned to Qi Yanli, she got even more self-conscious. His gaze was intense, full of eager desire and sincere adoration.

Qiao Luo's face went pink under his gaze.

Qi Yanli walked over as he fixated his eyes on her, “I have pictured this a million times but I never imagined myself to be this stunned and in awe when it actually happened.”

Qiao Luo dropped her head in shyness.

“What a smooth talker.”

Qi Yanli's smiled from ear to ear, “We'll take this. It's the perfect dress for you.”

“Why do we need a wedding gown now?”

Their wedding was not happening in the near future.

Qi Yanli snickered, “I couldn't wait to wed you. But I'm more than happy to put a hold on it if you need more time. This dress is not for our wedding. You would wear an haute couture piece for that event.”

Qiao Luo was perplexed, “So then what's this for?”

Qi Yanli kept a straight face, “For tonight.”

This man!

The manager beamed, “Mrs. Qi, I covet you. Your husband is obviously smitten with you.”

Qi Yanli whipped out a card, “I would like to pay with card, please.”

“For sure. This way, please.”
