Tao Nianwan patted his chest and assured, "Three days is enough! If I don't finish such a good design, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."
Gu Youran raised her eyes and said softly, "You... have been learning wedding dress design?"
Shi Heng stared at her, his stern brows and eyes coated with a rare layer of tenderness under the light.
"For our wedding, I want to be personally involved in every detail...especially your wedding dress."
He suddenly leaned over, put his thin lips close to her ear, and his voice was low and seductive.
"I want to see you wearing the wedding dress I designed, and be the only bride in front of everyone."
"Then……"
His fingertips brushed across her lower back, "Only I know that beneath the layers of white gauze, there is a beautiful scenery hidden for me."
Gu Youran's ears instantly turned red, and her heart beat so fast that it almost burst out of her chest.
This man who was decisive in the business world would actually study wedding dress design stroke by stroke late at night for her.
No wonder he's so picky about every wedding dress he tries on.
He had already designed the most unique wedding dress for her in his mind.
Her Shi Heng.
It was so strong that it was irresistible, yet so gentle that it made her heart tremble.
After returning home, Shi Heng was washing up in the bathroom, and Gu Youran pushed open the door of the study.
An old copy of "Introduction to Wedding Dress Design" lay quietly on the desk, with a few drafts tucked between the pages.
She opened the title page and saw the sharp handwriting penetrating through the paper:
"She deserves all the good in the world."
And below, there is a line of small words:
"Including me, even though I'm not good enough."
…
At eleven o'clock in the evening, the barbecue stalls on the street were filled with smoke.
Lina pulled Renault to sit down, tapped the greasy plastic menu with her fingertips, and smiled like a fox.
"Boss, this is super spicy, give me ten skewers of each."
Renault wiped his hands with a tissue with a cold face, "On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, you're treating me to this?"
"how?"
Lina leaned closer with her chin in her hand, her red lips almost touching his earlobe, "Sixth Young Master, do you think it's too low-class, or..."
She deliberately dragged out her tone, "Are you afraid of spicy food?"
In the light of the fire, Renault's pupils shrank slightly.
The moment Renault took the first skewer of grilled leeks into his mouth, his Adam's apple rolled violently.
Lina watched as the pair of eyes that had been frozen for years began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"hiss--"
He gulped down half a bottle of beer, his knuckles white.
A physiological tear ran down his sharp jawline.
“Oh my God!”
Lina covered her mouth exaggeratedly, "The sixth young master of the Rethers family, known for his ruthlessness, actually cried over a bunch of leeks?"
She took out her cell phone and was about to take a picture.
“Snap—”
Renault turned the phone upside down on the table.
"Lina, you know the consequences of provoking me."
The next second,
He grabbed her collar and pressed his lips, which were stained with chili oil, hard against the corner of her mouth.
Just then.
There was a sharp brake sound at the entrance of the alley.
Five black SUVs were blocking the intersection.
The car doors opened in unison, and a dozen men in black approached with guns.
"Looks like our midnight snack is going to end early."
Renault slowly wiped the chili oil from his lips, but his eyes were as cold as ice.
The moment the bullet broke through the air, he pulled Lina behind him and kicked over the oven at the same time.
The hot charcoal splashed everywhere, exploding a wall of fire on the ground.
"Are you crazy?!"
Lina was pressed against the wall by him, her back pressed against his violently heaving chest.
Renault bit the tip of her ear and chuckled, "Don't you want to have something exciting?"
When the third killer pounced, Renault suddenly hugged Lina from behind.
The blood-stained hand covered the back of her hand and led her to stab the enemy's heart.
"Look, this is what we call real 'spicy'."
When Lina turned around, she suddenly found blood oozing from his left rib.
That was an old wound caused by the parachute cord while skydiving.
"You're injured..."
Before he finished speaking, the reflection of a sniper scope in the distance flashed by.
Bullets whizzed by.
Renault suddenly turned around and protected Lina under him.
"laugh--"
When the bullet grazed his left shoulder, a string of blood splashed on her lips.
The moment Lina tasted the rust, she heard his laughing breath.
"Now you know... what 'spicy enough to bleed' means?"
Lina's pupils contracted violently.
This was the first time she saw someone take a bullet for her.
When Lei Shuangcheng and his men arrived, the battle was already over.
"It's Ryan's people."
Lei Shuangcheng kicked a corpse away, revealing the wolf head tattoo on his right arm.
Renault covered the wound on his shoulder and asked, "Is Fernando so anxious to send a Spring Festival gift?"
Lina suddenly said, "Are these people here specifically to kill Renault?"
"To be precise," Lei Shuangcheng gave her a meaningful look, "I'm here to test the Sixth Young Master..."
The second half of the sentence he didn't say was:
Will I go crazy for a woman?
…
Three o'clock in the morning, John's Hospital emergency room.
Under the pale light, Lina stared at the suture needle in the nurse's hand.
When the alcohol cotton swab brushed against the gunshot wound on Renault's shoulder blade, his muscles visibly tensed, but he didn't even groan.
"Why did you take the bullet for me?" she suddenly asked.
Renault closed his eyes and a mocking arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Who's going to take me bungee jumping if you die?"
He paused, "Didn't you say you were going to jump off the bridge across the river?"
The nurse's hand trembled and the needle tip penetrated half an inch deeper.
…
Seven o'clock in the morning, VIP ward of John Hospital.
As soon as Renault opened his eyes, he was shocked by what he saw on the bedside table.
