Looking at Xu Ruobing’s eyes filled with Gentleness, the undisguised heartache inside them, Jiang Lai’s Eyelashes trembled slightly, a Teardrop still hung at the Outer Eye Corner, she gazed at Xu Ruobing, and the words that rolled to her lips ultimately did not come out at all.
Her arm also relaxed a little, although she was embarrassed to speak the thoughts in her heart, she gently nodded, her Fingertip still clutching Xu Ruobing’s hem, yet the movement of her body was very honest, she simply could not bear to let go of Xu Ruobing in front of her.
Now that the two had talked openly, their relationship could be considered to have become closer, at least when they were together there would not be some Guilt like before.
Xu Ruobing saw her nod, and her mood was no longer so uncomfortable. Under the eyes instantly rippled a faint smile. She reached out and rubbed Jiang Lai’s soft Crown of the Head, the touch of her Fingertip brushing through Hair Strand was delicate and full of Warmth, “That’s my good girl.”
She did not rush to let go of Jiang Lai, instead gently hugged her again, let her lean on her shoulder, listening to her own steady Heartbeat.
After a long while, Jiang Lai’s Emotions finally completely calmed down.
She lifted her head from Xu Ruobing’s shoulder, her cheek still carrying the flush from crying, her eyes holding a bit of embarrassed shyness, “I… am I being too dramatic?”
Xu Ruobing heard this, reached out and pinched her cheek, the force gentle, carrying a bit of doting meaning, “How could that be? If you’re sad, cry; if you feel Grievance, say it. That is the most real Jiang Lai.”
She stood up, casually took Jiang Lai’s hand, her Fingertip touching Jiang Lai’s slightly cool Fingertip, gently holding it, “Then after a good rest in the Rest Area for a while, let’s go look at Wedding Dresses now. I know a very beautiful shop, I once had a collaboration with it… you don’t need to worry about what impact my past might cause, it’s very suitable for us to go on a date.”
Her originally heavy mood had improved so much, but Jiang Lai was pulled to her feet by her, the Warmth coming from her Fingertip made her unable to resist asking, “But I haven’t finished packing my things yet?”
‘Is this outing considered a date?’
Jiang Lai glanced at the lunch boxes on the table, although it was not too messy, after the two finished eating it would still be better to clean up a bit.
But now Xu Ruobing did not want to waste too much time at all, she only wanted to go out and play with Jiang Lai, to spend a happy time.
“Just leave it here for now, I’ll ask other people to help clean up later, it’s fine.”
After saying that, Xu Ruobing tightly held Jiang Lai’s hand and went to the underground parking lot. After arriving, she opened the Car door, very elegantly let Jiang Lai get in first, and only then did she go around to the driver’s seat.
The Car drove smoothly on the road, soothing light music played in the carriage. Xu Ruobing occasionally turned her head and said a few words to Jiang Lai, although most of them would be connected to Chi Yingyu, what they chatted about were all insignificant little things.
But she did not know if it was an illusion, Jiang Lai always felt that when she was discussing Chi Yingyu with Xu Ruobing, Xu Ruobing’s Emotions seemed less hostile than before.
There was even a bit of a feeling of mutual appreciation. You should know, before, whenever Xu Ruobing mentioned Chi Yingyu, there was a strong smell of gunpowder when she spoke, not at all like now… as if within the calm there was also a bit of Gentleness.
Because Xu Ruobing felt that she also had a conscience, although saying this might be a bit strange, she really did have a little conscience, other than being a bit unscrupulous, there was nothing else wrong.
Xu Ruobing liked Jiang Lai, wanted to be with her more, and even more wanted to do all kinds of things, but this matter was not fair to Chi Yingyu.
In this matter, she had not yet become so self-righteous to this extent.
Especially this morning, when she chatted with Chi Yingyu and understood her thoughts… the Guilt in Xu Ruobing’s heart grew a little more.
In the end, the feeling of Guilt still gained the upper hand. She should treat her better from now on, and help more where she could, so her conscience could be at ease. Otherwise Xu Ruobing would not think of helping Chi Yingyu do some things.
After arriving at the Wedding Dress shop, because the Wedding Dress shop used a membership system, even though Xu Ruobing was a popular Star, coming to this shop only caused the shop assistant a tiny bit of Surprise, and did not cause much of a stir, which also created a perfect environment for the two of them that would absolutely not be disturbed by other people.
The soundproofing in the Wedding Dress shop was very good, almost completely shutting out the noise from outside. The interior decoration was elegant and full of Gentleness, several Wedding Dress design sketches hung on the light beige walls, looking very refined.
This kind of high-end Wedding Dress venue, it was Jiang Lai’s First Time coming. For any place she came to for the First Time, Jiang Lai would inevitably feel a bit of Social Anxiety, a bit uneasy.
Xu Ruobing held Jiang Lai’s hand and walked inside, the Warmth from her Fingertip passed through the skin they touched, making Jiang Lai’s originally somewhat tense Fingertip gradually relax.
Xu Ruobing could feel Jiang Lai’s fingers gripping her, a bit tighter than usual, it seemed she still was not used to this kind of place. In the future she would have to bring Jiang Lai along more, let her see all kinds of things, and once she had seen more, confidence would slowly come.
At the Wedding Dress shop, the shop assistant recognized Xu Ruobing at once, but only smiled politely and did not come forward to disturb them, simply leaving the space to the two of them.
“The ones now on the mannequins, the Wedding Dresses here are all original designs by designers, each one is different.”
Xu Ruobing turned her head to look at her, the smile under the eyes was so full of Gentleness it was about to overflow, “Take a look, is there any you like at first glance? But there are dedicated fitting rooms here, you can take your time looking. There will be a small booklet, and if you want to see the actual pieces, the shop assistant will bring them out one by one for you.”
Jiang Lai’s gaze continuously swept over the mannequins in the display window, her Fingertip subconsciously tightened around Xu Ruobing’s hand.
The mannequin under the floor lamp at the very back wore a Fish-tail Wedding Dress, the skirt hem was embroidered with fine silver-thread roses, giving off a faint luster in the warm light. The lace at the collar was thin as mist, yet at the Collarbone position was adorned with a red bean-like agate.
Her footsteps unconsciously slowed, her gaze stuck to that Wedding Dress, even her breath grew a bit lighter.
“Do you like this one?”
Xu Ruobing’s voice sounded close to her ear, carrying a bit of laughter. She had long noticed where Jiang Lai’s gaze was lingering, so she simply stopped and followed her line of sight, then looked over Jiang Lai’s beautiful curves, and the bit of possessiveness in her heart suddenly rose.
“Although it’s very beautiful, Jiang Lai, your figure is very good… I don’t really want this one to be seen by other people when you wear it, if only I alone could see it, that would be fine. If you really like this type, I can also find a designer to redesign something similar for you, but that would take a longer time, how about it?”
