Five years ago, Gu Momo saved the Empire's richest man and was forced to conceive a child.
Five years later, she returned强势 with countless secret identities. Countless tyants knelt before...
"You haven't been drinking, have you?" Li Zhanting reached out and gently brushed away a few stray hairs from her forehead.
The people behind him gasped in shock.
Holy crap—did Master Ting come to catch us in the act in public?!
"Why are you here?" Gu Momo looked at the celebrities behind her, all of them staring at her with gossipy eyes. She wished she could make Li Zhanting disappear right now.
"I've come to pick you up, let's go?" Li Zhanting raised his elbow, gesturing for Gu Momo to take his arm.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Gu Momo forced an awkward smile and silently took Li Zhanting's arm with her small hand.
This was a sudden and intense display of affection: "Look how much Master Ting cares for people! I want to be cared for too, waaaaah..."
"They are such a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman!"
"Waaah, just get married right here, I'll move the Civil Affairs Bureau over here for you!"
Everyone was having a great time drinking, and naturally, they were speaking much more heartily than usual. Gu Momo couldn't help but laugh, "Go home early, everyone."
"Yes, sir!"
Amidst envious glances from the crowd, Gu Momo and Li Zhanting got into the car.
She had just fastened her seatbelt when Li Zhanting leaned over and pulled her into his arms, his warm breath instantly enveloping her entire body.
"You've been too busy lately," a resentful man muttered.
The dignified CEO of the Li Group had to come here to arrest his wife, who was so busy that he hadn't seen her for days.
"I haven't been to the company for a while, and I'd like to take a closer look at the situation here," Gu Momo explained patiently.
Li Zhanting ignored her and buried himself inside her body, as if he were drawing energy and nourishment from it.
Gu Momo had never realized before that Li Zhanting could be so clingy after they started dating.
The two lingered in the car for a long time until Old Master Li called to urge them on, at which point Li Zhanting reluctantly started the car.
"Is that Grandpa?"
"Mmm." Li Zhanting freed one hand and held her palm.
"Grandpa's still up so late?" Gu Momo asked, puzzled. Grandpa Li had never urged Li Zhanting before, so why was the sun rising in the west today?
Li Zhanting said casually, "They said they had something to discuss with us."
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Gu Momo and Li Zhanting returned to the Li family home, only to be shocked by the scene before them as soon as they entered.
In the huge living room, there were more than a dozen mannequins, each wearing a stunningly beautiful wedding dress. Another dozen or so jewelers, dressed in black work clothes and wearing velvet gloves, stood neatly behind Old Master Li, holding various accessories in their hands.
Grandpa Li, dressed in a dark gray Zhongshan suit, exuded a festive atmosphere. Gu Wanrou, sitting next to him, seemed to be introducing something to him. The old man, wearing reading glasses, quietly admired the presentation, occasionally frowning and nodding in satisfaction.
"Grandpa, do you want to open a wedding dress shop at home?" Li Zhanting retorted coldly.
When Old Master Li looked up and saw the two of them, he completely ignored him, quickly put down his reading glasses, and ran to Gu Momo's side.
"MoMo, you're finally back! Take a look. These wedding dresses were specially designed for you by the world-renowned wedding dress designer VIVI. Each style is one of a kind in the world. Take a look and see if there's anything you like."
Custom-made wedding dresses are quite common, but to have custom-made suits made for over ten years, especially for the same person, is something Gu Momo has never seen before.
She was even quite puzzled as to how her grandfather had convinced Vivi to design so many wedding dresses for her alone. She only had one body, and once she chose one, the others would be permanently sealed away.
Li Zhanting stepped in to defuse the situation: "Grandpa, isn't it a bit too early to be picking out a wedding dress now?"
Grandpa Li rolled his eyes. "What do you mean 'early'? I told you you're unreliable! It's been so long and you still haven't married my precious Momo. Momo, although the wedding date isn't completely set yet, you can start picking out your wedding dress first. It's okay, don't worry about it, Grandpa has already made arrangements. Vivi's grandpa and I used to be very good friends! If you don't find one you like, I'll go get another one."
Sure enough, another pitiful artist controlled by his elders!
Gu Momo felt deeply sympathetic, but now the more troublesome issue was for herself. On the surface, her grandfather was letting her choose a wedding dress, but in reality, this was a disguised way of pressuring her to get married!
She looked to Gu Wanrou for help, but Gu Wanrou turned against her and ran over with a smile to take Gu Momo's arm. "Grandpa is right. It's perfectly fine to prepare for some jobs in advance. Momo, why don't you pick one?"
Gu Momo stared in disbelief, then gritted her teeth and whispered in her ear, "Wanrou, then you can come with me!"
"Of course Zhan Feng and I can have our wedding with you, but you have to choose your own wedding dress first."
"Grandpa is just too enthusiastic, so please go along with him today. Besides, I think Li Zhanting is indeed a rare and wonderful man. You won't get another chance like this, will you? You have to seize the opportunity and completely shatter the dreams of 300 million girls in the capital."
Gu Wanrou whispered a toast, and when she saw Old Master Li looking at them with a kind expression, she gave him a sweet smile in response.
Gu Momo is now in a precarious position, and has no choice but to bite the bullet and go over to carefully examine these wedding dress designs.
VIVI's designs have always been renowned in the industry, and many nobles and wealthy businessmen invite her to participate in the design of their wedding dresses when their daughters get married.
Among these dozen or so designs, Gu Momo immediately took a liking to the black wedding dress.
The black tulle below the waist is studded with tens of thousands of diamonds, making it look as if the entire starry sky is worn on the body.
