When that time came, he could have whichever woman he wanted and bring them home with no qualms, and his wife could not say a word about it!
As the wedding date drew near, however, he suddenly felt that his upcoming marriage was meaningless.
Since Meng Qingxueâs departure, he had tried hitting the nightclubs to hunt for new prey as he did in the past, but he found those women with thick, gaudy makeup to be very unfamiliar and distant as though they were unreachable!
Also, he found the idea of getting to know another woman and starting a relationship from scratch to be very tiring.
Meng Qingxueâs lovely smile would involuntarily appear in his mind at times like that. She would be lying in his embrace, smiling obsessively at him while looking like a lazy yet alluring kitten.
âYancheng...â She would coo as she coiled her arms around his neck.
âMu Yanchengââ
A sullen voice brought the man back to reality.
Song Enyaâs disgruntled look entered his vision as he came back to his senses. âEarth to you, Mu Yancheng! Did you hear what I just said?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat?â
âMy gowns have to be custom-made by well-known designers, and I want at least five of suchâtwo for the wedding day itself and three for the bridal photoshoot; can you do that?!â
Her tone was harsh and impolite as though she was interrogating him or giving out an order.
âFive gowns?!â
He was quite taken back by how demanding she was.
It was not the money problem; rather, he found them to be unnecessary. Preparing those things required not only money but also time and energy. He certainly did not have the patience and effort to prepare all those!
Memories of Meng Qingxue involuntarily surfaced in his mind once more.
He could still remember the time when they watched a TV program about the different styles and designs of wedding gowns. Her arms were hooked around his as he passed a remark, âA matrimonial gown is only a small part of the wedding ceremony; thereâs no need to pay so much attention to it.â
The woman, however, shyly replied, âItâs every girlâs ultimate dream to walk down the aisle in a beautiful gown with her beloved half!â
Hearing that, he could not help asking her, âIs that your ultimate dream?â
âOf course not!â After a beat, she said, âAll I dream of is to stay by your side. Still, Iâll be really blessed if we can get married! Iâm not picky with the gownsâa simple one will do; I donât care about its price tag or brand!â
She even proudly added, âBecause Iâll look beautiful in whatever gown I wear!â
That drew laughter from him, and he gave her an indulgent kiss. âWhat a sly, little thing you are! If you like it so much, Iâll get someone to custom-make one for you in the future!â
âFor real?!â she asked excitedly. âYou will marry me?â
He fell silent at that, however.
She, too, knew that she had accidentally crossed a line with him, for the man had told her before that he had never once thought of marrying her when they got together.
Back then, he totally did not expect himself to fall for her so deeply; the future of them being together looked bleak. He kept mum for a while before he eventually said, âSince this is your ultimate dream, Iâve decided; Iâll give you a wedding gown even if I canât marry you in the future.â
