"I've already washed it!" Jiang Can said quickly. "I guarantee it's clean, absolutely no problem!"
"Ha, washed?" the shop assistant sneered. "Miss, you're only renting for one day, why would you need to wash it? You're renting it for your wedding, not to wear it to the fields, are you?"
Jiang Can was easily embarrassed, and her face turned bright red when she heard what she said.
Her wedding day was indeed not much better than going to work in the fields. Braving the heavy rain, she walked along muddy country roads, her white wedding dress and shoes got filthy, and her feet were blistered.
The shop assistant fiddled with the hem of the wedding dress, occasionally casting disapproving glances at her.
"Miss, even if this wedding dress needs to be washed, it must be dry cleaned!"
Do you know what dry cleaning means?
Seeing that she was honest, the shop assistant deliberately mocked her, "Sigh, ever since we opened this shop, we've been selling wedding dresses one by one. This is the first time we've rented one out... Ha, if you can't even afford a wedding dress, what's the point of getting married!"
"You can't get married without buying a wedding dress? What law says that?!"
Suddenly a sharp voice came from outside. Jiang Can was stunned and turned around. She saw Gu Mang walking in from the doorway. His eyes and brows seemed to be frozen, and he exuded an aura of authority without anger.
He frowned slightly, walked to Jiang Can's side and naturally put his arm around her, then looked at the shop assistant and sneered, "Do you think everyone is blind to see the four big words 'wedding dress rental' in your business scope?"
"you……"
"Besides, the wedding dresses here are just average in style and not very good in quality. There's no need to buy them at all!"
The sales clerk glared at them, her eyes practically rolling to the sky. "If you can't afford it, just say so! Don't try to nitpick... Ha, we do have designer haute couture pieces in our store!"
Gu Mang raised an eyebrow and saw the wedding dress on the mannequin in the center of the hall. It was a mermaid style dress that accentuated the figure, with subtle gold thread embroidery and small diamonds embedded in the chest.
The design is indeed quite outstanding, but it still can't compare to the good things he's seen before.
"Ha, don't even look!" the sales clerk sneered. "You still can't afford it even if you look! Sigh, miss, I really feel sorry for you. You're so beautiful, yet you didn't even bother to choose a good one before you got married. What a waste of your looks!"
"What my husband and I do is none of your business!"
Gu Mang was taken aback. This little woman, who was usually meek and submissive, was now arguing fiercely with someone.
Jiang Can stepped forward, glaring at the shop assistant. "I can take the wedding dress to the dry cleaners and return it afterwards. But you must apologize to my husband for what you just said!"
"What?"
Jiang Can is gentle by nature, but she has different attitudes depending on who she's dealing with. She can tolerate others bullying her, but if someone close to her is bullied, even if it's her husband whom she's never met and has only been married for one day, she will absolutely fight with everything she has.
Her face flushed red, and she said, word by word, "I said, apologize to my husband!"
The shop assistant rolled her eyes at her, ignoring her completely.
"No need to apologize." Gu Mang smiled slightly, looking down at her. "Do you like that wedding dress?"
"Um?"
Following the direction of his finger, Jiang Can saw the glittering golden wedding dress in the very center, and her heart skipped a beat.
But she didn't understand what this man wanted to do.
Gu Mang smiled faintly, took out a card and placed it on the counter, "My wife likes that wedding dress, I'll take it."
The air seemed to freeze instantly. The shop assistant stared at her with wide eyes, and Jiang Can was also at a loss.
"Gu Mang, what are you doing..." She tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "We're already married!"
"Let's buy one as a souvenir after we get married," Gu Mang said casually. "That one is a designer haute couture piece; it needs to be made to order. Do you have someone in your store who can take measurements?"
The shop assistant then realized what was happening, immediately put on a fawning smile, and bowed respectfully with her hands clasped together. "Sir, are you sure you want it?"
"Yes, let's take my wife's measurements now."
"Then I'll call the designer over..."
“Miss,” Gu Mang raised an eyebrow, “aren’t you capable?”
The shop assistant's expression froze.
"If you hadn't taken my measurements, I wouldn't have bought it."
The shop assistant felt a little flustered in front of this man with a powerful aura, but such orders were rare, and she also had the obligation to measure the customer's dimensions, so she took out a measuring tape and walked to Jiang Can's side.
"Miss, I'm here to serve you..."
"You think you can even measure the hem of the skirt like this?" Gu Mang scoffed, his eyes as dark as ink as he stared coldly at her. "You'll have to kneel down to measure the hem of the skirt!"
