Every day, Song Xingyao was dragged by Jiang Man to go to the venue and choose dresses.
Song Xingyao thought to herself, "So even the young mistresses of wealthy families have to run around for their weddings?"
But I still enjoy it. Although it's tiring, I can always find some joy in it, except that Fu Siming wasn't involved.
Almost everyone in the Fu family was preparing for their wedding, and the online buzz was more lively than expected.
An unconfirmed invitation can sometimes cause a huge uproar and generate a lot of discussion.
Reporters often waited in front of Ms. Wu's studio, which made Song Xingyao feel very embarrassed, as it affected the normal operation of the studio. Therefore, she temporarily resigned from her job with Ms. Wu.
Mr. Wu didn't mind. He said his granddaughter was coming back from abroad soon and he also offered to take a break.
This relieved Song Xingyao of so much pressure.
Teacher Wu's daughter is Wu Mu. Many years ago, she married Fu Quan, the eldest son of the Fu family, and had a daughter. However, the child was abducted and her whereabouts are unknown.
Wu Mu's mental state has been poor since then, and he rarely appears in the entertainment circle now.
Fu Quan thought of adopting a child to distract Wu Mu, but it didn't work. His wife's condition worsened, and his daughter ran away abroad and didn't return for a long time.
The Fu family gradually declined and no longer frequented Jiangcheng's top business districts.
Song Xingyao had arranged to go out to choose a wedding dress on the weekend, but unexpectedly ran into Bai Xiujin at Lu Fan's studio.
Bai Xiujin accompanied his mother to choose a dress. Bai's mother was going to attend a banquet and had booked Lu Fan's time a long time ago. She didn't expect to run into Song Xingyao here.
Song Xingyao came by herself. Fu Siming was still working overtime at the company and said he would be there soon, so Song Xingyao gave it a try first.
The VIP reception rooms are not interconnected; Song Xingyao's wedding dress was simply too big, so she had to go to the display mirror in the porch to adjust it.
When Bai Xiujin saw it, his eyes held a mixture of surprise and disappointment. After a moment's pause, he went up to greet him.
"Yaoyao, congratulations on your marriage! I heard you're having a wedding." Bai Xiujin spoke first.
Song Xingyao was still strapped to the display stand, making it difficult for her to move around.
The enormous petticoat and heavy tulle skirt did not make her look bulky; the delicate belt at her waist, inlaid with pink diamonds, made her even more dazzling.
The curves of her chest were faintly visible through the folds of the white gauze, and a patch of snow-white skin was exposed on her neck.
A string of crystal-clear pink jade beads, embracing a heart-shaped gemstone, hangs beside her delicate collarbone, beautiful yet playful.
It was clear that the designer had put a lot of thought into it. He recognized at a glance that it was the Pink Tear that Jiang Man had bought at an auction a few years ago. It seemed that the Fu family treated her very well, he thought.
"Thank you, Xiaobai. It's been a long time since we last met." Song Xingyao still remembered the awkwardness that happened when they were together last time.
"You yourself?"
"No, Fu Siming will be here soon."
"Okay." Bai Xiujin said this and then didn't say anything more. He still remembered the unpleasant scene that Fu Siming's appearance had caused between the two of them last time.
He didn't want to cause her any trouble, but there was a hint of regret in his voice: "I'll go over first; my mother is next door."
After Bai Xiujin finished speaking, he did not leave immediately. His gaze lingered on Song Xingyao for a while. Neither of them noticed how long Fu Siming had been standing outside the door.
As Bai Xiujin left, his eyes met those of Fu Siming, who was leaning against the wall, and the latter's expression held a scrutinizing quality.
Song Xingyao was unaware of the spark between the two. When she saw Fu Siming enter, he was wearing a hand-tailored suit. Without any other embellishment, he already looked as noble as if he could walk straight into the wedding venue.
Fu Siming watched as the spotlight shone on the woman, the surrounding light making her appear even softer and brighter.
He didn't rush to speak, but slowly walked to her side and stood on the exhibition platform. Only then did Song Xingyao barely manage to look him in the eye.
Song Xingyao: "Does it look good? Isn't it a bit exaggerated?"
Fu Siming stopped in front of her, and Song Xingyao asked softly.
"Yes, it's beautiful."
Actually, it goes without saying that Fu Siming's eyes already said it all; she looked into the man's eyes.
He said the same thing when he first went to the banquet, but now his eyes were truly fixed on her face. Even Song Xingyao herself was captivated by it and found it hard to resist the man's alluring, husky voice.
"Why don't you try it on? Mom already had someone send the clothes over."
After changing their clothes, the two stood in front of the mirror, and even the receptionist next to them couldn't help but exclaim: "Sir and Madam are such a perfect couple, so well-matched and so pleasing to the eye."
Song Xingyao took out her phone and asked the staff to take a picture of them.
The staff suggested they could bring a photographer, but Song Xingyao declined, saying she just wanted to take some photos of herself trying on clothes and didn't need to be so formal.
After the photo was taken, Song Xingyao looked at it over and over for a long time until Fu Siming interrupted her thoughts.
"I need to go back to the company. There's a tricky situation. You can change first, and Lao Xu will come back to pick you up later."
"...Okay, go ahead." Seeing that Fu Siming had said this, Song Xingyao must have been a little anxious.
After changing her clothes, Song Xingyao waited for Lao Xu in the lounge, but then she ran into Bai's mother and Bai Xiujin.
Both of them were dressed up in their finest attire, and time had not left any marks on Bai's mother's delicate face. When the two stood together, people would believe they were siblings.
The three sat together without speaking. Only Bai Xiujin occasionally looked up at Song Xingyao sitting to the side, then quietly looked away.
Bai's mother recognized the two and broke the silence between the three: "You must be Mrs. Fu! I am Xiu Jin's mother. I will be attending your wedding. Jiang Man also sent me an invitation. Happy wedding!"
"Thank you, Auntie, you are so beautiful."
Song Xingyao was surprised that the two of them said the same thing. She thanked them and couldn't help but praise Bai's mother's beauty.
Bai's mother was very pleased with what she was told, but she still maintained the demeanor of a dignified lady.
A short while later, Lao Xu arrived at Yimei, and Song Xingyao politely said goodbye to them and left.
Bai Xiujin, who had remained silent, kept his eyes fixed on Song Xingyao's retreating figure until she disappeared from sight.
Looking at her son, Bai's mother asked earnestly, "Xiujin? Are you and Miss Song very familiar with each other?"
Bai Xiujin told his mother about his past experiences at the orphanage.
After hearing this, Bai's mother looked surprised, knowing that Bai Xiujin was interested. She simply patted Bai Xiujin's clasped hands lightly and said, "Well, Xiujin is getting married. You can help her quietly, but don't have any other feelings for her."
Bai's mother knew that her son was reluctant and sad, but she could only cruelly remind him.
After all, if love is one-sided, it becomes a burden.
