Chapter 24 I want to tear this skirt off myself
It's exactly 11 o'clock.
It was completely dark. The stars in the sky were few and scattered, and even the moon was mostly obscured. Only the wind was howling. The curtains on the large transparent glass windows were not drawn, and the bamboo shadows outside swayed in the wind.
The same applies inside.
Lu Jinyuan pressed against the cool floor-to-ceiling window, a sentence suddenly flashed through his mind, and he chuckled.
His voice was low and husky, with a sexy magnetism. His warm breath sprayed onto Jiang Qingying's neck, making her skin feel both dry and itchy.
She asked him, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing..." Lu Jinyuan paused for a moment, and after the intense tension subsided, he pulled her along as if dancing, and continued, "I just remembered a sentence."
The contrast between the cold front and the heat back almost made Jiang Qingying lose her temper. Her voice trembled as she asked, "What dirty words have you remembered this time?"
Lu Jinyuan let out a soft laugh from deep within his chest. Sure enough, she understood him best at times like these. His kiss on her shoulder was as light as a feather brushing against her skin, as he said, "Bamboo sways, casting shadows on the secluded window; birds chirp in pairs in the setting sun."
He then said, "If there's no sunset, how about sunrise?"
"Oh no!" Jiang Qingying pushed his head and scolded him, "You're the little bird!"
Lu Jinyuan smiled and said nothing more.
At times like these, getting the work done is more important.
......
Rewind to an hour earlier. After the family dinner, Jiang Qingying arrived at the apartment in Lu Jinyuan's car. At the door, the two became entangled, and with the last shred of their rationality, they went upstairs, kissing as they walked.
She also took off her clothes.
Lu Jinyuan was a bit of a weirdo; he insisted on standing in front of the French windows. She was initially unwilling, but after being coaxed by his gentle words for a while, she was so bewitched that she nodded as if possessed.
Okay, she's a pervert too.
It was quite exciting, although standing was really tiring.
Jiang Qingying couldn't stand for long, so she got angry and made him stop and move to another spot.
Then, they went on a crazy rampage until 1 a.m. before finally stopping.
-
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Jiang Qingying gradually regained consciousness, turning over to face the French windows on the balcony. The soft, bright morning sunlight streamed through the transparent glass onto the gray-white plush carpet in front of the window, the soft, smooth fibers reflecting the light.
But she wasn't in the mood to appreciate it, because it was the place where she had lain the night before.
At this moment, Lu Jinyuan walked in, his sportswear was stained with sweat, and his bangs were slightly damp, clearly indicating that he had just finished exercising.
Jiang Qingying rubbed her aching back. How could the difference be so big?
Lu Jinyuan met her angry gaze and teased, "Grumbling up first thing in the morning?"
Jiang Qingying ignored him and got up to go to the bathroom to wash up. As she passed him, she said, "I need to use this place. You can go outside."
"I wasn't planning on fighting you for it." He had only intended to wake her up anyway.
After having breakfast together, the two went to a wedding dress studio to try on wedding dresses.
Qin Qing arrived early in the morning. When she saw the two of them together, her eyes sparkled like stars, especially when she saw Lu Jinyuan.
Jiang Qingying has fallen out of favor.
She is no longer Ms. Qin's most beloved daughter!
Jiang Qingying looked at Qin Qing with a mournful expression, "Anyone who didn't know better would think he was your son."
"Isn't a son-in-law the same as a son?" Qin Qing retorted.
Jiang Qingying chuckled twice, then glanced at the wedding dress she was preparing to choose for her. The fifty-square-meter room was filled with dresses, categorized as if they had various uses.
"Why are there so many?" she asked.
"Not many." Qin Qing took her hand and enthusiastically introduced each series to her. "These are morning robes, wedding gowns, welcoming gowns, outdoor gowns, main gowns, toast gowns, and the final dresses for seeing off the guests. You have to pick one from each series."
Jiang Qingying was exasperated. "Didn't we say we should save wherever possible? Why is there still so much?"
Qin Qing disagreed, speaking earnestly and brooking no dissent: "I've already said it, a wedding only happens once. If you don't do it properly, you'll definitely regret it later. Besides, you didn't even have time to take wedding photos, so you can only take them on the wedding day. Therefore, these dresses are absolutely essential."
Jiang Qingying felt like crying but had no tears left. She could imagine how tiring the wedding day would be.
Lu Jinyuan smiled and advised her, "Listen to Mom. Besides, she's worked so hard to prepare, let's not let her down."
Qin Qing: "Jin Yuan is still the most sensible one."
Jiang Qingying frowned and glared at him, her eyes clearly saying, "You're such a smooth talker," before sighing and saying, "Which one should I choose first?"
Qin Qing looked around and said, "Let's choose the main wedding dress first, the most important one."
Lu Jinyuan picked out his main suit quickly, since suits are all the same styles. Jiang Qingying, on the other hand, was stumped. Every wedding dress was a high-end custom-made piece, with impeccable style and quality. She was overwhelmed by the choices.
She finally managed to pick out three of her favorite wedding dresses from dozens of options, each a different style: a sparkling train gown, a heavily embellished mermaid gown, and a satin gown with a large train.
She tried on all three outfits, and each time she opened the fitting room curtain, she carefully observed Lu Jinyuan's expression. In fact, they were all pretty much the same; he couldn't take his eyes off her. However, the one with the biggest change in expression was the mermaid wedding dress.
She stood in front of the three wedding dresses, biting her lip and deliberating, unable to make a decision after a long time. So Lu Jinyuan suggested, "Mermaid style, it suits your figure very well."
Jiang Qingying turned to look at Lu Jinyuan sitting on the sofa. They stared at each other for several seconds without saying a word.
She knew he liked that mermaid wedding dress.
She turned to the designer and said, "I want the satin main dress."
The designer was taken aback. If she hadn't misheard, the groom had said "fish tail." Was she really going to argue with her new husband so directly?
Jiang Qingying chuckled and explained, "The wedding venue is too big. I think a long dress is needed to make the event feel grand."
This satin outfit is just as stunning as the fishtail one. It combines classic gold lace with ceramic seed beads as embellishments, without any overly ornate or dazzling accessories. The skirt features a light tulle with floral and leaf embroidery connecting to the smooth satin, perfectly bringing out her sophisticated and powerful aura.
"Then why not choose the one with the sparkling diamonds?" Lu Jinyuan asked her, as if asking if she was deliberately contradicting him.
Jiang Qingying smiled innocently at him, "That outfit is pretty, but it's too sparkly and has a bit of an ethereal feel to it, which doesn't quite suit my style."
The one with sparkling diamonds is the most grand, with a long train and tiny sparkling diamonds. The luxurious and elaborate design makes it look like you're wearing a galaxy waterfall from the Milky Way, shimmering and dazzling, like a princess in a romantic dream.
Lu Jinyuan still asked, "You like this fishtail dress too, don't you?"
She really liked it; Jiang Qingying's eyes were practically glued to it.
That fishtail dress was the epitome of luxurious allure, a truly exotic gown that added a touch of decadent glamour to Jiang Qingying's look. The halter-neck design showcased her beautiful shoulders and neck, while the champagne-colored fabric featured intricate weaving, with each rhinestone shimmering in the light. The flowing skirt at her feet resembled mysterious, enchanting flowers from a foreign land, and the most unique element was the ruby and emerald embellishments—exquisite, luxurious, and her favorite part.
"I really like it, but I feel like you like it even more." I can see the desire in your eyes that you want to tear this dress off yourself.
The second half of the sentence was Jiang Qingying's inner thought; if she said it aloud, he would definitely do it.
Lu Jinyuan probably knew what she was thinking, smiled helplessly, and then suggested, "How about using this fish tail for outdoor scenes?"
Jiang Qingying thought about it and thought the suggestion was excellent, so she manually gave it a thumbs up.
After that, the couple spent the entire morning choosing their wedding attire.
It was mainly Jiang Qingying who made the selections; once she had them set up, Lu Jinyuan's selections were simply the corresponding matching sets.
After a whole morning, Jiang Qingying felt like she had lost several pounds. In the end, she lay on the sofa, declaring that she had already chosen her dress and refused to try on any of the remaining dresses. She remained motionless, like a fish panting on the beach.
"Now that we've made our choices, let's go." Lu Jinyuan patted her lifeless face.
Jiang Qingying's eyes darted around slowly, and after a long while, she uttered a few words: "I can't walk anymore."
Lu Jinyuan thought she was being coquettish and smiled, "Then I'll carry you away?"
"No." Jiang Qingying pushed him away. "I didn't mean that."
With so many people in the store, and Ms. Qin here too, she wouldn't be so shameless.
Lu Jinyuan's eyes were deep, and his voice was clear: "I thought that was what you meant."
"..." Jiang Qingying stared at him.
Lu Jinyuan noticed a rare hint of coquettishness in her angry expression, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
She was really being coquettish just now, and she probably didn't even realize it herself.
But he can't be wrong.
