Sang Ran walked slowly with the help of the store clerk.
At that moment, Lin Zhiyi was stunned.
She thought of many words, but in the end, only two words remained, "Elf."
Considering Sang Ran wore a prosthetic limb and couldn’t handle a very complicated wedding dress,
So, the designer had specifically created this wedding dress for her.
The top was a lace corset, adorned with layers of gauzy petals that were light yet showed a hint of rigidity.
The skirt was layers of light tulle, with a small slit at the hem, which made it easier for Sang Ran to walk.
Her ethereal appearance combined with her smile made people feel she deserved all the best.
Sang Ran, cautious in high heels, approached and even smiled warmly at Lin Zhiyi.
It was as if she was asking Lin Zhiyi if she looked good.
Beautiful, very beautiful.
Lin Zhiyi nodded vigorously and tried to smile too; she didn’t want to appear like a pitiful creature desperately struggling.
It seemed Sang Ran was encouraged, and she let go of the clerk’s hand and walked towards Gong Chen herself.
The store was set up to make the wedding dress look exquisite, giving off a wedding scene-like feel.
Sang Ran walked toward the man, feeling happy.
A position Lin Zhiyi could never reach in two lifetimes.
She stepped back and back, wanting to leave this spotlit area.
Then, Sang Ran stumbled and fell towards Gong Chen.
Gong Chen instinctively raised his hand to block.
Yes, to block, not to catch.
But the next second, he reached out to embrace Sang Ran and slightly frowned as he cautioned, "Be careful."
Sang Ran looked down at her high heels: "It’s my first time wearing high heels." freewebnovel.cσ๓
Gong Chen steadied her, his eyes slightly dark, "You don’t have to do this."
Sang Ran pouted, "How can I not when you are so tall? Without high heels, I don’t even reach your shoulder. Should I have the photographer keep telling the bride to stand up during the wedding photos?"
The atmosphere instantly became harmonious and warm.
Everyone in the store laughed, sending envious and congratulatory glances.
Lin Zhiyi just wanted to be a spectator, but someone insisted on pulling her into it.
Wen Qing pointed towards Lin Zhiyi and said, "Miss Lin, what about your wedding dress? Let’s see it."
"I don’t have one, ask them," Lin Zhiyi looked towards Mrs. He and her son.
At that moment, He Yao’s attention was on Sang Ran, until Mrs. He couldn’t help but push him.
He then came back to his senses and nonchalantly said, "Mom, just pick one for her."
Mrs. He, as if receiving an imperial edict, strutted over to Lin Zhiyi after scanning her, then walked to the clothes rack.
She picked the most conservative and ugliest wedding dress and handed it to Lin Zhiyi.
Suddenly, everyone’s eyes turned to Lin Zhiyi, especially Wen Qing, waiting to see her embarrassment.
However, Lin Zhiyi calmly said, "Mrs. He, if you like it, that’s good."
Seeing her compromise, Mrs. He smirked, "That’s right, a woman should listen to her husband’s family when getting married."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi lowered her eyes and didn’t express any opinions.
Others thought she was compromising and submissive.
But in reality, she had been watching Mrs. He’s purse where others couldn’t see.
Just then, a clerk came in with delicate afternoon tea.
Lin Zhiyi fixed her gaze for two seconds, then immediately stood up to take the teapot, eagerly saying, "Mrs. He, please sit and have some tea."
From these two interactions, she realized Mrs. He wasn’t the traditional woman she appeared to be but someone who needed to be flattered and sought power.
Thus, Lin Zhiyi began to play the role of the flatterer.
Mrs. He indeed happily accepted the tea from Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi then pretended to bump into the table corner, spilling all the tea on her.
"Sorry, let me wipe it for you."
As she spoke, she reached to pull Mrs. He’s sleeve.
