4609 Never Too Late to Love (16)

It was a gaze filled with amazement and admiration. Gu Chengze looked her up and down and raised his eyebrows. “Very beautiful.”

These clothes were bought based on the measurements she provided. As they had not been tried on, he was understandably worried that they would either not fit well, or be uncomfortable, or unattractive.

“How’s the fit?”

“They fit very closely and are light. They are quite comfortable to wear.” As Bai Sheng spoke, she probed cautiously, “Are these dresses expensive?”

“They’re not expensive.”

They were only a few thousand yuan per piece. However, Gu Chengze did not say that aloud. He knew that given Bai Sheng’s character, she’d feel the pinch. Therefore, after buying all the clothes, he specially requested the store manager to remove all the tags and change the packaging so that the brands and prices would not be known. This way, she would at least feel at ease wearing them. Moreover, a few thousand yuan per piece was not expensive at all for Gu Chengze.

Bai Sheng thought that when he said “not expensive” he meant they were at most a few hundred yuan per piece. She could not help but exclaim, “A few hundred yuan to buy clothes made of such good fabrics is really affordable.”

Gu Chengze almost burst out laughing. Fortunately, he did not bring her to the boutiques to buy these. Otherwise, if she had seen the price tags, she would most certainly be unwilling to wear these clothes he had bought for her.

Bai Sheng saw the admiration in his eyes and she smiled shyly. “Really?”

“Yes, I won’t lie. This dress looks really good on you.”

“This is a pretty dress to begin with.”

When Gu Chengze heard that, he smiled and walked over to help her straighten her clothes. Bai Sheng only felt that the moment he got close, the fragrant orchid-like scent on his body filled her senses. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to let him see the blush on her face. She had never stood so close to anyone else.

As Gu Chengze straightened her clothes, he said, “A good-looking dress has to be worn by the right person to show its beauty and value.”

The praise in his words was self-evident. Bai Sheng was really a very good-looking girl. Her facial features were very gentle and exquisite.

There are many types of beauty. Some come with a sharpness that is provocative and aggressive. Some are calm as water and boring. One would think they are stunning at the first glance, but would get tired of them after looking at them for a long time.

But Bai Sheng had the sort of facial features that one would never tire of, no matter how many times one looked at her.

Perhaps, at first glance, her beauty wasn’t arresting. However, the more one looked at her, especially if one were to stare at her, one would begin to see how stunning she was.

Growing up under those conditions, Ye Yuqin had always belittled her rather than praised her. As a result, she developed an inferiority complex. She always felt that she was inferior to others.

Gu Chengze’s words made her feel like she was everything.

“I also bought other styles. Try them on too, okay?”

“Uh huh…”

As Bai Sheng turned around, a thought suddenly struck her. She stopped in her tracks and asked, “You… why are you so good to me?”

When Gu Chengze heard this, he was stunned for a long time before he broke into laughter.

He had only bought her a few dresses and spoken kindly to her at best. Yet that was enough to make her feel pampered. What kind of life had she been living for the past 10 years that she had to be so afraid to accept his kindness to her?

Gu Chengze asked disapprovingly, “Shouldn’t I be good to my wife?”

When Bai Sheng heard this, she was rather touched by his gentle affection!
