Chapter 335 - 297: On Marriage Alliances_2
Yun Qi eyed that slender figure, squinting slightly, and walked over to her: "It’s lunchtime now, not busy at all."Upon hearing this enchanting voice, Ye Lingran turned her head to look over, her heart suddenly stopping as if in time, staring at him in a daze. Even when the elevator ’dinged’ open, she didn’t react.
"Let’s go!" Seeing her still unmoved, Yun Qi smiled, reaching out again. This time, unlike before, he gently took her hand, leading her into the elevator with him.
Ye Lingran was taken aback. Why is it that every time she wants to escape, to see things clearly, he always approaches her little by little, disturbing her thoughts, throwing her into turmoil?
***
As the weather started warming up in late March, Cen Jin had rushed to finish Zhu Qinghan’s wedding dress. When Zhu Qinghan walked out of the fitting room wearing that white, golden-glittering wedding dress, both Cen Jin and Ye Lingran were stunned. Soft black hair fell straight from her shoulders, her beautiful, delicate face adorned with a gentle smile. The strapless design revealed her fair collarbone, exuding a natural elegance.
"Wow, it’s so beautiful!" Fan Yunru, watching from the side, couldn’t help but exclaim.
"Yes! This wedding dress suits Miss Zhu perfectly, both in style and in grace. On her wedding day, Miss Zhu will surely be the happiest and most beautiful bride," Ling Quan remarked, admiring Zhu Qinghan’s gentle and graceful smile.
Receiving such praise, Zhu Qinghan felt a bit shy. Looking at herself in the mirror, she smiled tenderly and took a deep breath. What woman hasn’t fantasized about wearing a wedding gown to marry the man she loves and who loves her in return when she was young!
And after all these years, it seems she’s finally realizing that dream.
"Senior, is there anywhere that feels uncomfortable or needs alteration?" Cen Jin walked over with a smile, softly inquiring as she looked at Zhu Qinghan in the mirror.
Zhu Qinghan shook her head, smiling lightly, "No, it’s great, Cen Jin. Thank you, this dress is exactly what I wanted."
"That’s good. I’m glad you like it. Ling Quan is right; you’ll certainly be the most beautiful and happiest bride," Cen Jin stood beside her, tilting her head, her lively eyes playfully blinking at her.
"Thank you." Zhu Qinghan smiled bashfully, suddenly remembering something, she picked up her dress hem and walked to the lounge area, retrieving two invitations from her bag. She then walked back to Cen Jin and Ye Lingran, smiling, "Besides trying on the dress today, I wanted to give you these. Although our wedding with Zhu Chen is in Ireland, I still hope you can attend."
"If we have time, we will definitely go." Ye Lingran took the gold-embossed red invitation, opened it, and saw the photo of Zhu Qinghan and Zhu Chen inside. They indeed looked like a perfect match, enviable.
"Okay." Zhu Qinghan responded softly with a smile, looking again at the mirror.
"By the way, Senior, it’s such an important day for you to try on the wedding dress, how come senior brother didn’t come with you?" Cen Jin couldn’t help but ask, taking a few photos of Zhu Qinghan’s satisfied smile with her phone, then asked casually while reviewing them.
"There are many wedding preparations he needs to handle. He returned to Ireland a few days ago, but he will probably come back in a few days. Now he’s running between Nancheng and Ireland because the serial murder case in Nancheng is not over yet. Originally, I wanted to say we could change the date of the wedding, wait until all his work issues are resolved, and the case is concluded, but he didn’t agree. He said he’s just a consultant in criminal psychology, his help to the police is limited, and he’ll do his best."
"Oh, Miss Zhu, your husband is in criminal psychology and involved in the recent nerve-wracking serial murder case in Nancheng? I’ve heard this case has been going on for months now; there are about six victims, yet there are hardly any leads on the culprit. I don’t even dare to walk alone at night now; I just hope no one else suffers," Fan Yunru chimed in, looking very concerned.
Zhu Qinghan nodded, "Yes, but he rarely discusses the case with me, so I’m not very clear on the details. Let’s trust law enforcement! They will definitely catch the culprit and bring him to justice."
