Chapter 742 Is it done? (1/2)

Madam Lu sat on the sofa next to Yue Ling in silence. Her excited expression from earlier was now replaced with one of unresponsive. Her brain couldn't seem to process the words that the retired model had said about excluding the wedding dress.

Feeling like an eternity had gone by, she finally remembers to blink her eyes and breathe. She stares at Yue Ling for a quick second then shifts her attention to the piece of paper in the girl's hand.

She furrows her brows at the beautiful wedding dress and didn't understand.

The design of the dress was beyond anything she has ever seen. Any woman who sees it would no doubt want to wear it at their wedding. Even she wished that this dress was the one she wore when she married her husband.

Unable to comprehend Yue Ling's reason, she looks back at the girl and parts her lips to ask. However, when she saw the faint look of despair in Yue Ling's eyes, she stops herself.

She takes the design paper from Yue Ling's hand and set it down on the table. She held her daughter-in-law's hand with both hands and smiles.

”I am curious about your reason, but no matter how curious I am, I am sure you have your reasons. Since you say that you do mind, then I understand.”

Even if she doesn't ask the reason, she can guess that this dress held a happy, yet painful memory for Yue Ling.

Her words fell and she gently squeezes the slender hand she was holding. Her smile also widens, and she looks back down at the many designs scattered on the table.

”There are plenty of wedding dresses to choose from. I will have this dress removed from the list.”

Yue Ling felt relief knowing how understanding Madam Lu is. If Madam Lu had asked her for the reason, she would have told the middle-aged woman the truth, but since she (Madam Lu) did not pry into the subject, she (Yue Ling) will leave it at that.

She wanted to thank Madam Lu for being understanding, but the second she parted her lips, a maid enters the living room to inform them.

”Madam, Miss Han, dinner is ready.”

Being interrupted, Madam Lu and Yue Ling turned their head to look at the maid. Both women decide to leave the discussion about the wedding dress for later.

”Let's go. I have prepared many dishes for you.”

Madam Lu spoke her words naturally with a smile. It was like Yue Ling was her flesh and blood daughter. She stood up from the sofa and takes Yue Ling's hand as she leads both of them to the kitchen.

However, before they could move, she caught sight of Yue Ling looking back at the table scattered with designs.

She sighs with a smile that reaches her eyes and gently tugs the retired model away.

”Don't worry. I have asked my stylist to gather all the wedding dresses for you to try on tomorrow.”

Yue Ling calmly nods her head, but inside, she was struck speechless. All the designs that had been displayed in front of her were more than 100. Does that mean she will have to try on all the dresses to pick right now?

Thinking this, she realizes something. Instead of trying all the dresses, she can try a few since Madam Lu had taken the time to prepare them. Afterward, she can just tell the middle-aged woman that she would like to design her own wedding dress.

As she returns from her thoughts, she had already entered the dining room with Madam Lu. To her surprise, Lu Tian and Old Lu were already seated at the table waiting for them.

”Ah Ling, how about sitting next to me?”

Madam Lu asked her question, but she gave no room for Yue Ling to answer as she was already leading her (Yue Ling) to one side of the table. Even Lu Tian who was going to ask his wife to sit next to him was ignored.

Left with no other choice, Yue Ling could only agree again. As she sat down, she didn't forget to look across the table to Lu Tian and gives him a reassuring smile.

While Yue Ling proceeds to have dinner with the Lu family, in another part of Imperial, Liu Shan had not left the abandoned factory.
