Chapter 741 How did you get this? (1/2)

Lu Tian's eyes slowly flutter open and he looks directly at his old man. In the next second, he leans back on the chair and raises his left hand to massage his forehead as he stares at the carpet under his feet.

”She doesn't know that we know. I haven't told her because Grandfather Ji said he will tell her.”

Hearing that Yue Ling doesn't know anything, Old Lu felt a suffocating sensation inside him. He trembles a deep and despairing breath as he closes his eyes.

Out of every person in Grandfather Ji's life, Yue Ling should have been the first to know, but is she really going to be last?

He opens his eyes and turns his head to the window. He stares out to the lake that glistened under the setting sky.

”It's going to be hard for her when she learns of this news. Be sure to stay by her side as she will need you more than you think.”

Lu Tian answers with an 'mm'. Even if his father did not tell him to, he will remain by his wife's side. He swore a promise to Grandfather Ji to take care of his wife and it is a promise he will not break again.

After the loss of their child, he made sure to always stay close to her. If he wasn't, he made sure to have those around his wife pay close attention. Whenever she is going somewhere, he cannot go, he would sneakily hack into Imperial's surveillances and see if she safe.

He turns his head and stares at the same scene as his father.

”I swear on my life to be there for her. Even if I have to follow her until the end of time.”

The room turned into silence as the father and son gaze out at the lake. However, both men could hear the heartfelt laughter in the distance from their wives.

In the living room, Yue Ling and Madam Lu were oblivious to the deep conversation that had taken place in the other room.

Both women sat on one sofa with Madam Lu exceptionally closed to Yue Ling. Her arm that had locked onto the retired model since arrival had not once moved away.

”What do you think? I've gathered a list of all the famous designers in the world for you to see which one is to your liking.”

Madam Lu exclaimed excitedly as she gestures with her free hand to the coffee table in front of them. Her eyes beamed with glistening lights that could be mistaken for stars in a night sky.

”So, do you see one you would like to work with?”

Being asked the question, Yue Ling didn't know how to respond. She looks at Madam Lu then down to the coffee table.

Scattered on top were stacks of paper with its own design of different wedding dresses. However, it was exactly as Madam Lu had said.

Each design is specially designed by famous designers from around the world. Amongst the many designs, there were even a few pieces from De L'amour.

”I…”

Yue Ling was only able to say one word as she was not informed that they would be discussing the wedding dress. She thought this was a simple dinner get together.

She stares at the many designs in front of her until she caught sight of one and her eyes trembled. Only a small part of the paper could be seen but she knew the design from a mile away.

Her heart shakes as her slightly trembling hand reaches to pick it up.

”This…”

The model in the portrait was none other than herself. She wore a dazzling wedding dress that began with an encrusted bodice embroiled with white pearl beads elaborated with laces. It extends effortlessly from the bodice onto the skirt as its layers in tulle run the length like a whisper-soft, yet extravagant train on the floor.

The dress is completed with another layer of lace appliques at the hen for a final touch of luxury.

”This dress, how…”

Seeing the change in her expression, Madam Lu felt a wave of unsettlement inside her, but glancing at the wedding dress Yue Ling had picked up, she understood.

Or so she thought she did.

A smile curls on her lip and she place a hand on Yue Ling's cheek then looks down at the piece of paper.

”It's the first wedding dress you ever designed.”

She chuckles softly before lowering her hand and place her palm over Yue Ling's hand holding the paper.

”It's been three years, but even now, I still find this dress that you designed to be one of the best wedding dresses I have ever seen.”
