Li Zhiwei fastened her seat belt before replying. “Xuning isn’t feeling very good right now. I doubt he would want to see anyone, so I won’t bother him right now. I’ll visit him another day.”
“All right then. Let go and try out the wedding gowns now.”
Li Zhiwei got engaged in a hurry. She could only try out the gowns from the racks of the wedding shop. There was no time to get a gown customized for her. Both of them planned to look at wedding gowns that day. The gown had to be adjusted to Li Zhiwei’s measurements after the first fitting. There was not much time left.
“Tianxin, your godmother called just now. She asked if we should go and try your bridesmaid outfit today. Are you free?”
Ye Tianxin then asked Ye Linlang, “Mother, what do you think?”
“Why not? There’s nothing to do at home, anyway.”
Ye Tianxin figured that Ye Linlang intended to stay at the capital until Du Juan’s wedding. By then, Xie Xuning’s condition would have stabilized. Both of them would then be able to talk things through and plan for the future.
Du Juan and Li Zhiwei had made appointments with the same boutique to shop for wedding gowns.
“Zhiwei, look at this gown. It’s quite pretty. Li Bai had chosen the most eye-catching gown, complete with lace, as soon as he stepped into the shop. It was simple yet elegant; it was as if it was made for a princess.
“I like this too.” Li Zhiwei turned to ask the store manager. “Can I take this?”
The manager politely said to Li Zhiwei, “I’m sorry, Ms. Li. One of our customers had already picked this gown. We have many other gowns that we think you would like. Why don’t you take a look at them?”
Li Zhiwei reluctantly went to look at the other wedding gowns. It was a pity she could not have that gown no matter how much she liked it. Since somebody else already claimed it, she couldn’t have it for herself. Besides, it was custom-made for that customer. She may not fit into it.
Li Zhiwei and Li Bai went into the VIP room. There were many gowns stored on one side of the room. Those gowns were very delicate and had to be kept under a certain temperature. If they were not stored in the right conditions, they would be damaged.
“Ms. Li, these gowns are specially imported from overseas. Do you want to try them on?”
Li Zhiwei took a look at the gowns. They were not as impressive as the first gown, which had been stuck in her mind. To her, no other gowns could compare with it.
Li Bai flipped through the catalog and tried to cheer her up. “Hey, this gown isn’t too bad.”
Li Zhiwei took a glance and did not feel inspired. “It’s all right, but it’s not as pretty as the other one.”
“Can’t we try that gown?” Li Bai got up and tried to persuade the store manager. He did not want Li Zhiwei to be disappointed. “My wife really likes it.”
The store manager looked apologetically at both of them and said in a soft voice. “I’m so sorry. That gown was specially tailored for a customer. For the sake of our shop’s reputation, I cannot let you try it on.”
Li Zhiwei felt very disenchanted. She could not marry the man she loved, and now she couldn’t even wear the gown she wanted. Why was her life so miserable and tragic?
“Let’s go. I am not in the mood to try anything.” Li Zhiwei walked down the stairs, looking dejected. She saw two unwelcome guests on their way up.
“Tianxin? Ye Linlang?”
