Sometimes, seemingly unintentional, she would act coyish with him.

She probably found it detrimental for them to be at each other’s throat all the time.

After all, she was about to marry into the Mu family, so she certainly had to put some efforts in strengthening the marital relationship between them. It would definitely be unacceptable for the husband-wife pair to fight after marriage constantly!

Therefore, the missy seemed to be trying very hard to please him; he could see that she had made concessions and compromises in many areas recently.

The man’s face eased up a bit, and he stopped rushing her. Instead, he turned around and went back on the sofa.

She sneered as she looked at his back. After choosing a wedding dress, she went into the fitting room to put it on, then came out, and asked, “How about this one?”

He took a good look at her finally.

In the first place, he was the one who had promised to accompany her to try on the wedding dresses. After all, it would be unbecoming for a bride-to-be to try on a wedding dress alone!

As her fiancé, accompanying the lady to try on dresses was also part of his obligation.

Hence, he took the time to come, but as soon as he sat down, he started to read the entertainment magazine he had taken off a shelf at the side, leaving the woman alone to fret over the getups without giving any advice.

The store manager, standing at one side, recommended, “This mermaid-style wedding dress is more body-hugging. Miss Song, your figure is really outstanding and exquisite; this dress is very suitable for you!”

Mu Yancheng could not help taking a second look. When she saw him checking her out, she cooperated by doing a twirl in the dress with a satisfied smile, looking somewhat like a shy and happy bride-to-be.

His gaze turned hazy involuntarily!

Thoughts filled his mind and he had a sudden recollection of a time when he had accompanied Meng Qingxue to the mall to choose a dress.

At that time, she did not know his true identity yet.

Even though the young lady liked to dress up, she hardly asked him to go shopping with her. For one, he did not have a lot of free time; for another, she was not a spendthrift. After all, she was not working and did not think it was appropriate to spend his money.

However, that particular day was her birthday, so he promised to go shopping for some clothes with her.

He took her to the counter and personally selected a few items for her. After cautiously taking a look at the price tag which was priced at five digits, the woman received a shock, then she hurriedly sought his advice. “Yancheng, the clothes here are so expensive, huh? Why don’t we go to another place to look?”

“Most of the shops in this mall carry international brands, which are expensive; they are all at this price range no matter which one you look!”

Her face changed all of a sudden, looking rather lost and anxious.

He could not help laughing at her timid expression, which absolutely satisfied his machismo, so he boldly declared, “Today is your birthday, so this is your day. If you like it, you can try it on, and if it looks good on you, you can just take it. It’s not as if I can’t afford it!”

“Are you so generous?” she quipped, laughing. “I’ll just pick whatever I want then!”

“Sure.” As he affirmed this, he went to take a seat at the side and watched his woman picking out several sets of clothes excitedly before going into the fitting room.

She returned to the waiting area after changing into a long, rosy dress. As she slowly walked up to him, she nervously pinched the hemline and probed. “How about this one?”

The man looked up and was stunned by her beauty.
