Chapter 86: Cinderella and Trash Prince Episode 7

  When Chen Yuyao appeared again at the staircase entrance, everyone was stirred up once more.

  Her figure is petite, but her arms are slightly butterfly sleeves, and her chest is relatively flat. The previous corset-style dress completely exposed these flaws, but she didn't notice. Suoluo's design has a high collar that cleverly covers the excess flesh on her upper arm, revealing her beautiful clavicle and small, round shoulders. The hem of the skirt is a gradual pale pink color, with flowing lines that complement her fair skin and add a touch of girlish fantasy. The finishing touch is the headscarf, inspired by the 1920s, with a vintage crossover ribbon paired with white embroidered flower petals, low-key yet elegant, surpassing the previous makeup artist's choice of a diamond-encrusted crown.

  Even if Chen Yaoyao was normally lively and playful, once she put on this dress, she couldn't help but behave elegantly, and for the first time, she felt a sense of shyness and self-awareness as a bride, involuntarily straightening her back, slightly tucking in her chin, and revealing a sweet smile.

  But Duan Xuan's reaction was even more unexpected than he himself. Some time ago, there was a very popular post online called "The moment when the groom sees the bride in her wedding dress for the first time", and at that time, he just sneered at it, thinking that it was a low point for foreigners to cry, and that he and Yao would definitely not be able to do something like that after being together for over a decade. And indeed, when Yao tried on the wedding dress she had bought online and showed it to him, he didn't have any feeling at all, just thinking that the price was reasonable, and that all wedding dresses were like that. But at this moment, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and cry with joy. He took a few steps up the stairs, hugged Yao and spun her around. This is his bride!

  Everyone cheered and whistled, some even shouted "kiss" and the couple kissed, it was as if the wedding ceremony had started ahead of schedule.

  As a designer, Su Luo couldn't help but be infected by such happiness and her eyes reddened.

  "Xiaogu is too amazing, this is really the most beautiful wedding dress I've ever seen since I was a kid!"

  "Yes, seconds kill those big brands don't know how many streets."

  "Yuan Yuan, you're too happy, I'm so envious! No, it's jealousy! Too jealous! Husband, let's get married again, the previous one doesn't count, I want Xiao Gu to design a wedding dress for me."

  "I didn't want to get married originally, but after seeing this wedding dress I suddenly had the urge to get married!"

  "Yao Yao can even turn this monkey into a fairy, and Xiao Gu is also turning the rotten into magic!"

  "Get out! Xiaogu, have you ever thought of setting up your own brand? Such a great design will definitely make a fortune."

  "I said you're so mediocre, beautiful things should be shown to the world, Xiaogu's talent can't be buried. I also think this is a good idea, Xiaogu consider it, when the time comes and you need help just call us."

  ……

  Su Luo was praised to the point of embarrassment: "I'm not as great as everyone says, I'm still a newcomer in this field, and compared to those masters, I'm really not worth mentioning. For now, there's no plan to establish my own brand, I'm still working for others. If I have any ideas in the future, I'll definitely ask for everyone's help, and you can't refuse at that time!"

  Everyone says definitely.

  Louis had mentioned before that in a few years he might retire and travel the world with Philip, and then let her take over the company as a seat designer. He hoped to pass on the brand from generation to generation like those century-old shops. Although this proposal was challenging and tempting, she felt that she was not yet capable of taking it on with her current strength and was still considering it.

  Lin Chenghua's gaze had already turned into infatuation. That night, he saw a Qiu Xiaogu who was completely different from the one in the past. Whether it was the childlike innocence and playfulness she showed when joking around with friends, or the elegance and charm in her every move and smile, or the professionalism and confidence when talking about her designs, they were all things he had never seen before, or had seen but never noticed.

  Never thought she would have so many sides, and each side made him feel deeply moved, no less than when he first saw her on campus.

  It's just...

  That beautiful past has become a fleeting cloud.

  Everyone was laughing and having fun, but he had tears in his eyes.

  "It's past ten, let's go have some supper, consider it a welcome for Xiaogu." Someone suggested this, which was their reserved program. One of the city's characteristics is that there are many delicious foods, and eating, drinking, and having fun all come together, even famous throughout the province.

  "Okay, okay, everyone wait for a moment, I'll go remove my makeup and change clothes, I'll be right back, ten minutes!" The beautiful wedding dress couldn't stop Chen Yaoyao's foodie heart.

  After Chen Yaoyao finished packing up, everyone went out of the door, front and back.

  The relationship between people is so wonderful. Ji Xiaogu had known many people for years, but her sense of presence in this circle was always low, and the labels that everyone gave her were always "the girl who gets along well with Chen Yaoyao", "the ice beauty in school", and later "Lin Chenghua's girlfriend, wife", never because of herself.

  In just a few hours that evening, she quickly blended in with the group and found her own place in this small community. Everyone chatted and joked with her, and they leaned on each other's shoulders, not because of anyone else, but because of herself.

  That's the charm of Su Luo's personality, making people feel easy to get close to her and comfortable when they are with her. Of course, it's also because of her profession and the skill she just showed that makes everyone think it's novel, impressive and honorable to have a friend who is a designer abroad.

  This is also human nature, you have value, others recognize you and make friends with you. Suoluo will not deny such friendship because of this, no one will be good to you for no reason, giving and getting are always relative. And it can also be seen that they really take her as a friend and are proud of her. Because they haven't experienced the pressure of life, these people are relatively simple, love to play and make trouble, Suoluo is also quite happy with them.

  "Xiaogu, what do you want to eat? C City doesn't have any authentic French cuisine." Everyone discussed where to go while walking.

  "Xiaogu is a vegetarian. Otherwise, let's go to the Cantonese restaurant, the congee and dim sum are not bad, you like to eat that." Lin Chenghua finally showed some presence, his tone was so gentle.

  Look, I haven't forgotten your living habits. We used to be the closest of friends! Trying to evoke each other's nostalgia for the past.

  "The doctor said I'm malnourished and can't be a vegetarian anymore, now I'm a carnivore." Another basin of cold water was poured over Lin Chenghua's head, freezing his heart to the point where it felt chilled to the bone.

  Everyone else had the energy to keep watching, and for a whole night they tacitly avoided mentioning the relationship between the two people. But who doesn't have a heart that loves gossip? Especially when it's such an exciting melodrama - a wife who was wronged and left to flee abroad, only to return gloriously years later! It's like an 8 o'clock drama! Everyone quietly paid attention to the interactions between the two of them, afraid to miss even the slightest hint.

  Before, Lin Chenghua had made several overtures to Xiang Xiaogu, but she ignored them, and they all secretly found it amusing. They would curse her behind her back, saying "she got what was coming to her!" Although their relationship with Xiaogu was ordinary before, nobody disliked her; they just didn't get close to her. However, his current girlfriend Yang Ningning was someone they really looked down on. She always had an attitude like she was owed something, and she even publicly scolded them as "parasites of society" and "spoiled rich kids". It's laughable that her emotional intelligence is so low that it makes people want to kneel down. They only didn't bother with her because of their friendship with Chenghua. Who knows what she's proud of? Looking at Xiaogu again, whether in terms of education, looks, talent, personality, or how they interacted with others, they were worlds apart. It's unknown what kind of eyesight and taste Chenghua has.

  A few people gave me a sinister glance, I glanced back at them, with all sorts of "you know what" eye contact and facial expressions that seemed to say: "There's going to be a good show!"

  "It's been tough these few years abroad, you guys have no idea, I don't even dare to watch domestic food shows, it's like seeing but not being able to eat. Now I just want to eat little lobsters, extremely want, especially want, can't help but think about it, can someone satisfy me? Su LuoLuo pretended not to see the eye exchange between everyone, and said to Chen YaoYao who was holding her arm and another girl. Indeed, she really wants to, two days ago her grandma and aunt only made her all sorts of nutritious big meals, this kind of "junk food" is not allowed."

  "That's easy, let's go to Food Street, I guarantee you'll eat till you're satisfied."

  "Alright, alright, I also want to eat sour cabbage fish and boiled meat slices, and make up for all the things I haven't eaten in these years."

  Everyone arrived at the garage, took their own cars, and after a short while, they all went back to their respective homes. Except for Lin Chenghua who drove a four-wheeler, everyone else rode electric donkeys or motorcycles, which was more convenient. Cars were only driven on rainy days or when going to distant places, this is the lifestyle of C City, Su Luo Luo likes it very much.

  Lin Chenghua really wanted to ask Xiaogu to sit in his car, but he also knew she wouldn't agree. He guessed that she wanted to completely sever ties with him. It was his own fault for making things irreconcilable from the start. No wonder Xiaogu was like this; it was already very gracious of her. He was the one who had wronged her, so how could he still expect her forgiveness? But whenever he thought that they would be strangers for the rest of their lives, his heart still felt unwilling to accept it and would ache in pain. However, all he could do now was take things one step at a time. Besides, he still had a girlfriend.

  Thinking of Yang Ningning, he kept hinting to himself that his feelings for Xiaogu were only guilt, only guilt, and that the one he loved was still Ningning. He didn't want to admit that he was a fickle person who easily changed his mind, nor did he want everything he had done in the past to pursue true love to become a complete joke.

  But it's not up to him. Su Luo won't let them off easy, what happened before wasn't that simple.

  Silently watching Xiaogu get on the back seat of a girl, Lin Chenghua drove behind them, thinking about whether he could send her back after dinner.

  His mind told him he should keep his distance from her and just watch her be happy. But his heart and limbs wouldn't listen to orders.

  Want to get close to her.

  Come closer.

  A little more.
