1086 Perplexed and Smitten 146 (1/2)

Upon hearing her words, he said, \”You… are prone to getting heart attacks?\”

Fang Erlan answered in amusement, \”I was just making a casual remark. It doesn't mean I'd really get a heart attack…\”

\”You're not allowed to say such things so casually from now on,\” he said, placing his helmet onto the motorbike. He then began walking toward a plain-looking store.

Fang Erlan followed closely behind him, not knowing what he went there for.

Fang Erlan discovered that it was a whole new world inside.

It turned out to be a tailor's shop.

To be exact, it was a bridal store.

Staring at the wedding gowns in front of her, Fang Erlan tugged Xiao Chenyang's shirt and asked softly, \”Why did you bring me here?\”

\”Try them on and see if they fit.\”

Fang Erlan obviously knew what it meant to try on gowns. \”I'm not going to get married anyway. Why are we getting a wedding gown tailored?\”

\”The tailor here is a prestigious designer who's known to make the best gowns. It's hard to fix an appointment with him. I booked an appointment with him more than ten years ago. However, I told him to begin making the dress when I returned to S Nation previously. It should be almost completed. Isn't it better to get a gown made in advance? It'll come in handy sooner or later anyway.\”

\”When I get married in the future… I'll settle my wedding gown myself. You don't have to worry about it.\”

\”Why don't I have to worry about it? I'm the only person you can marry. Who's going to be concerned if not me?\” He grabbed her wrist and said, \”Come here.\”

Fang Erlan refused to budge and was dragged to the wedding-gown tailor.

The designer was an old, bearded man who seemed to be in his late seventies.

Fang Erlan was surprised to see that the tailor was already so advanced in his years. Wouldn't his eyesight be blurry?

\”Uncle, do you make all wedding gowns from scratch on your own?\”

She was not proficient in the foreign language and struggled to piece her words together. However, the tailor still could not understand her despite her gestures.

\”Yes, all the gowns are handmade by me. I only make two a year,\” the elderly tailor answered.

Fang Erlan did not exactly understand what he meant. She asked Xiao Chenyang, \”What does he mean?\”

\”He meant that he only makes two gowns a year.\”

Fang Erlan then asked, \”How much does one bespoke gown cost? It must cost a bomb, right?\”

He ignored her and communicated with the tailor fluently in the foreign language that she could not understand.

Fang Erlan headed to the fitting room and, with the assistance of the staff, put on the bespoke wedding gown that was tailored to her measurements.

Before she put it on, she was still thinking to herself that the gown definitely wouldn't fit her well since Xiao Chenyang did not know her exact measurements.

However, she got a great shock after putting it on.

It fit her perfectly from head to toe, be it her shoulders or her waist.

It seemed like it was modeled according to her body.

The wedding gown was a mermaid-tail-shaped gown that exposed her back and was cinched at her waist. When she exited, the staff helped her carry the tail of her dress, all the way until they reached the large mirror.

Staring at her reflection in the mirror, Fang Erlan gasped in shock and disbelief. She felt like she was looking at a different person.

The bandeau around her chest was embellished with pearls while the fabric around her waist was encrusted with glistening diamonds. The wedding gown greatly accentuated her curves, and she could tell that it was made by an extremely-skilled tailor.

She looked at Xiao Chenyang's reflection in the mirror and held his gaze for a split second before looking away quickly.

On the way home, Fang Erlan asked, \”I really don't get it. Why… did you suddenly decide to get a wedding gown made for me?\”

Keeping his eyes fixed on the roads ahead while riding the motorbike, he answered, \”What reason could there be? I just wanted to see you in a wedding gown sooner.\”

Fang Erlan shifted her gaze onto the wedding gown in his hand. She could not help but feel confused, bewildered, and at a loss for what to do because of his sudden show of affection.

When he brought her to a jewelry store, Fang Erlan immediately understood what was going on. \”Are you getting a ring?\”

He said in admission, \”I ordered a bespoke one a few days ago. I'm going to collect it today.\”
