The little girl was wearing a yellow bikini swimsuit, her tanned skin was very even, and with her long arms and legs, she strode towards Zhu Qianying after getting out of the pool.
"Auntie Shadow, is that my mom calling?"
The pretty little face was filled with anxiety and anticipation, which made Zhu Qianying unsure how to bring up the matter of being a flower girl. She took a large bath towel from the side and covered the little girl's head and body tightly.
Xiao Luzi was really clever. Seeing Zhu Qianying hesitate and remain silent, he knew he had guessed wrong. He covered his face with a towel and lowered his head to wipe the water off his body.
"Xiao Luzi, it wasn't your mommy who called, it was Uncle Ke. He wants to invite you and Zizai to be flower girls at his wedding. Would you like to?"
Xiao Luzi spends all her time with Zizai and the Yan family, so she must have met Ke Kai.
"Does Zizai want to go?" Xiao Luzi asked, tilting her head as she dried her hair, seemingly having already put aside the matter of her mother and grandfather.
Zhu Qianying actually admired this girl quite a bit. If it were Zizai, he probably wouldn't be so tough.
Relatively speaking, Zai Zai's temperament is actually quite soft, cute, and adorable.
The smaller approach, on the other hand, has a stronger element of assertiveness.
Compared to this, Zhu Qianying felt a pang of sadness and reached out to touch Xiao Luzi's head.
“Zizai had agreed to Uncle Ke’s request, but he suddenly said he wouldn’t do it now.”
The little girl's eyes darted around, and she immediately understood the intricacies of the situation.
"So, does Vic Zhou only agree to be a flower girl if I become one?"
Zhu Qianying smiled and nodded, "Yeah, he said it's boring with other girls!"
She hadn't said anything before because she didn't want the little girl to feel burdened, but now that she had guessed it, Zhu Qianying readily admitted it.
"Alright then, I'll go be one too!" Xiao Luzi readily agreed.
The young master was overjoyed to hear that Xiao Luzi had finally agreed. As if afraid that Xiao Luzi might change her mind, he quickly urged Zhu Qianying to order a princess dress for Xiao Luzi.
However, even if the young master didn't encourage her, Zhu Qianying would still have to contact someone quickly.
After all, Ke Kai's wedding day is not far off, and it took Zizai several days from having someone come to take his measurements to receiving his little dress. Xiao Luzi's dress is a princess dress, which is more intricately handmade, and it will probably take even longer to make.
Zhu Qianying then arranged for a stylist to come over in the afternoon to take the little girl's measurements. The young master's wish was fulfilled, and he was in high spirits. He even ate half a bowl more than usual.
Later, the costume designer arrived at the villa. Zhu Qianying was discussing her general ideas with the costume designer, while the young master sat cross-legged on the carpet with Xiao Luzi, their heads touching, looking at the design sketches that the costume designer had brought.
"Bai Xiaolu, I think you look good in this!"
It was a little green dress, and the model wearing it looked like an elf!
"Please, I want a white princess dress."
In this regard, Bai Xiaolu, being a girl, naturally knows more than Zizai.
Zizai then ran up to Zhu Qianying and the fashion designer with the design sketchbook in his hand and asked, "Sister, do flower girls have to wear white princess dresses?"
The designer patted his head. "Anything is fine, especially for the flower girls. They can wear different styles and colors of dresses, just like the bride."
Xiao Luzi, who followed Bai Shao, was always frugal, while Zizai, after returning, became increasingly extravagant.
Upon hearing the designer's words, Xiao Luzi's first reaction was to object.
"No need, one set is enough..."
And Zizai generously said, "Then I'll take a few more sets!"
The designer looked at the little girl and then at the young master, unsure of whose advice to follow.
For some reason, Zhu Qianying had a vague premonition that Xiao Luzi's time with them probably wouldn't be long.
This matter, in fact, foreshadowed too many things from the moment Bai Shao accepted the Zong family's help to go abroad to treat Bai Xiangdong's illness.
Now that the main family has found them, they can hide for a while, but they can't hide forever.
In addition, Bai Shao and Bai Xiangdong have received favors from the Zong family, so it would be difficult for them to refuse to return to the Zong family.
"Please make a few more sets. Could you please contact Brother Ke later and have a few more made to match their wedding dresses and formal wear? The same goes for Zizai's!"
Although Xiao Luzi was just a little girl, she knew that these dresses were not cheap. She came over and tugged at Zhu Qianying's arm, "Auntie Yingzi, one set is enough."
Zhu Qianying ruffled her hair. "It's okay. This money came from Zizai's allowance. Xiaolu can pay Zizai back later, okay?"
Zhu Qianying changed her words, and Xiao Luzi fell silent. After thinking for a moment, she turned to Zizai and said, "Zizai, it might be a long time before I can pay you back, is that okay?"
The young master used to be a miser, and he was very careful with his allowance.
But now he doesn't care that much anymore, because the things he wants no longer require him to save up his allowance to buy them, just like before.
"Of course it's okay. Anyway, I trust you, you definitely won't renege on your promise."
Zhu Qianying said that at the time only to make Xiao Luzi feel better.
Little did she know that when the two kids were together in private, Xiao Lu Zi actually wrote an IOU based on the price quoted by the designer, carefully signed his name, and handed it to Zi Zai for safekeeping.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
Because both Zizai and Xiaoluzi had ordered several dresses, the designer spent a relatively long time at the villa. When Yan Shao came home from get off work, he happened to run into her.
"Ying'er, are you ordering an evening gown?"
Yan Shao knew this designer; their wedding dress was designed by this up-and-coming designer.
"No, why would I order an evening gown? It's for Xiaoluzi and Zizai to be flower girls."
The designer was packing up his tools when he overheard their conversation and chimed in.
"Mrs. Yan, you and Mr. Yan have been married for quite a few years now. Why don't you order a few wedding dresses and take some photos to commemorate the occasion?"
A glint flashed in Yan Shao's eyes; clearly, he was somewhat tempted by what he was being said.
But Zhu Qianying said, "There's no need for that, Zizai is already so big!"
Moreover, she genuinely dislikes trouble. Recalling the scenes of taking wedding photos at the horse farm, by the sea, and by the mountain stream a few years ago, she still feels tired.
The light in Yan Shao's eyes suddenly went out. He stared at Zhu Qianying thoughtfully, wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He put down his bag and went to the playroom to find the two little ones.
After hearing Zhu Qianying's answer, the designer naturally didn't say anything more, packed up his belongings, and got up to take his leave.
After watching the children in the playroom, Yan Shao came out and asked Zhu Qianying, "Didn't you say you wouldn't let Xiao Luzi be a flower girl? Why did you change your mind?"
Zhu Qianying briefly explained how her son had acted irresponsibly, and Yan Shao shook his head upon hearing it.
"Tsk, what a temper the brat has!"
