Chapter 123: A Group Photo, Excluding Qin Yunshu
Cheng Wan looked at Lin Qingya.
There was a smile on her face under the lights, but no matter how one looked at it, it seemed as if she were about to shatter.
"Qingya, let's go." Cheng Wan pulled her friend to leave.
Qin Yunshu, however, was relentless: "Miss Lin, I feel there are some places that need modification; could you help me take a look?"
The gentlest tone, saying the most stinging words.
Lin Qingya did not speak.
She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would reveal the trembling state of her heart at this moment.
Cheng Wan replied to Qin Yunshu in an extremely indifferent tone, "Are you determined to be a bitch today?"
Qin Yunshu bit her lip, "Miss Lin agreed to it just now."
She held back and did not lose her temper.
After all, in the eyes of Chu Li and Cheng Han, she had always maintained a gentle persona.
Chu Li walked over and gripped Cheng Wan's wrist, "There is one more wedding dress; you should try it on."
"Me? I won't."
Cheng Wan was unwilling.
They had agreed to have little contact, and Chu Li had also acted very coldly, even going long periods without returning to Beicheng Villa.
She thought he had finally stopped pestering her.
Now, what was this about trying on a wedding dress?
Chu Li, however, insisted, "It is also a design by Kristin; you should try it."
He had previously intended to give Cheng Wan a grand wedding, so he had ordered the wedding dress to be custom-made long ago.
It was just that there was never an opportunity to bring it up later, and after that came endless arguments, so the wedding dress had always remained in this shop.
This time, Chu Li wanted to see what she looked like in a wedding dress.
Even if... even if they were to separate in the future, at least he would have seen her wear a wedding dress.
Cheng Wan still refused, "Chu Li, there is no need between us."
She wanted to leave, but Chu Li refused to let go.
Cheng Wan was very annoyed and was about to speak, but she suddenly noticed Lin Qingya's gaze resting on Qin Yunshu's wedding dress.
The disappointment in her eyes could not be hidden.
And Qin Yunshu, likely knowing Lin Qingya was watching, kept pulling Cheng Han to talk, her shy appearance looking exceptionally delicate and beautiful.
Cheng Wan changed her mind in an instant.
She agreed.
"I'll try it."
Chu Li was overjoyed and immediately called the shop assistant over to take Cheng Wan to try on the wedding dress.
Ten minutes later, Cheng Wan walked out.
The snow-white wedding dress was studded with countless pearls, and the long train was exceptionally light and dreamy.
In an instant, it made the wedding dress Qin Yunshu had just been showing off look completely colorless.
Anyone could see that Cheng Wan's piece was the one with heavy craftsmanship, while what Qin Yunshu wore was something rushed together.
Qin Yunshu stared blankly, her heart feeling cold.
At this moment, she felt like a clown.
And in Chu Li's eyes, there was only amazement; when he first saw the design draft, he had imagined what Cheng Wan would look like in the wedding dress.
At this moment, this scene appearing before his eyes in reality was even better than he had imagined.
She was extremely beautiful.
When Cheng Wan saw the wedding dress, she knew that wearing it would be more stunning than Qin Yunshu.
She raised her eyes and smiled lightly, asking Lin Qingya: "Qingya, does it look good?"
There was moisture in Lin Qingya's eyes; she thought, if Cheng Wan were wearing this wedding dress at a wedding, she would definitely be the most beautiful bride.
"It looks good, you look the best."
Using this wedding dress to suppress someone like Qin Yunshu was truly a waste.
Chu Li walked forward, the emotions in his eyes surging.
He marveled at her beauty, yet his heart felt empty and hollow.
Because Cheng Wan was willing to wear this wedding dress only because of Lin Qingya.
And she would never wear it again.
Thinking of these things, he was filled with sadness.
Cheng Wan did not care about the complexity of Chu Li's mood at this moment; she deliberately asked Qin Yunshu.
"What does Miss Qin think?"
Qin Yunshu's eye sockets were red, and her lips were about to be bitten until they bled.
She felt hatred.
Why did Cheng Wan have to come?
And why did she have to stand up for Lin Qingya?
Clearly, the only person she was targeting was Lin Qingya.
"It looks good." Qin Yunshu managed to maintain her composure, "It looks very good, Cheng Han, right?"
The man beside her did not respond.
Qin Yunshu looked up and discovered that Cheng Han's attention was entirely on Cheng Wan.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt quite unsettled.
"Cheng Han?" she raised her voice.
Cheng Han came back to his senses and looked at her, his dark eyes steady, "Is something the matter?"
Qin Yunshu managed to force a smile, "I was just asking you, does Miss Cheng's wedding dress look good?"
Cheng Han nodded, "Mm, it looks good."
Cheng Wan heard this, and she also took in every change in Qin Yunshu's expression.
She curled the corners of her lips and suggested, "Miss Qin, would you mind taking a photo for me?"
Qin Yunshu did not want to take it.
Just as she was about to speak, Cheng Wan had already spoken first: "Qingya, come over."
Lin Qingya walked to her side.
Cheng Wan looked at Chu Li again, a gentle smile appearing on her face: "Do you want to come over for a photo?"
Chu Li's breath hitched, and his feet walked over uncontrollably.
He knew she was deliberately using him as a tool to provoke Qin Yunshu.
Yet at this moment, he was perfectly willing.
Cheng Wan took his arm.
Chu Li happened to be wearing a black suit, and the two of them looked very well-matched.
Qin Yunshu gripped her phone tightly; with Chu Li there, she had to take the photo even if she didn't want to.
"Cheng Han," she called to her fiancé, "They want to take a photo, hurry over."
Cheng Han walked toward her.
"Wait," Cheng Wan stopped Cheng Han.
She suggested, "It won't look good with two women and one man in the photo; why don't you come over here to even out the numbers?"
Cheng Han only hesitated for two seconds before agreeing.
He happened to stand next to Lin Qingya.
Qin Yunshu stood opposite them, tears welling up in her eyes.
She was furious, but she could not lose her temper, and in the end, it all turned into grievance.
But before her tears and grievance could erupt, Cheng Wan had already said: "What's wrong? Miss Qin, it's just a photo, are you really refusing?"
She waved her hand, looking as if the mood had been spoiled.
"Since Miss Qin is unwilling, then please let the shop assistant take it."
"Otherwise, someone will surely say I'm bullying people later."
Chu Li was all good temper and indulgence toward Cheng Wan at this moment; he looked at Qin Yunshu, "Yun Shu, it's just a photo."
He wanted this photo of Cheng Wan wearing the wedding dress.
Although there were two outsiders in the photo, he was already satisfied.
Qin Yunshu could only take a perfunctory photo with her phone, and just as she was about to put it down, Cheng Wan spoke again.
"Take a few more, otherwise if they don't turn out well later, I'll have to trouble Miss Qin again."
"So, please try your best to make them look good, Miss Qin, otherwise I'll have to keep troubling you."
Qin Yunshu felt stifled, but she could only take a few more, though her attitude was much better this time.
Cheng Wan looked at the photos; the first ones were no good, but the later ones were barely acceptable.
The goal had been achieved.
There was no need to keep making a fuss.
She changed out of the wedding dress and left with Lin Qingya.
Chu Li followed behind her, his expression calm: "I'll take you back."
Cheng Wan was about to refuse, but she discovered that the car that should have been parked at the entrance had vanished.
Without needing to think, she knew it was Chu Li's arrangement.
Just as she was about to speak, Assistant Wu had already driven the car over; he handed the keys to Chu Li and said to Cheng Wan: "Please rest assured, I guarantee I will get Miss Lin home safely."
Cheng Wan still wanted to talk to Lin Qingya about Cheng Han.
"Wanwan, you go back, I'll make another appointment with you," Lin Qingya did not want to put Cheng Wan in a difficult position.
She took the initiative to leave with Assistant Wu.
Cheng Wan had no choice but to get into Chu Li's car.
On the way, Chu Li did not mention that the wedding dress had been hand-picked by him, and he brought up Lin Qingya instead.
"The marriage alliance between Yun Shu and Cheng Han is something both families have already confirmed; you should persuade Lin Qingya to leave Yuncheng."
