Chapter 124: It Is a Wedding Dress That Belongs Only to You

Cheng Wan was already worried about Lin Qingya in her heart, and at this moment, Chu Li's words made her feel even more uncomfortable.

She looked ahead, her voice very faint: "If they want to get married, let them. Why should Qingya have to leave?"

Although she said that, she knew that Lin Qingya's decision to leave Yuncheng was likely related to Cheng Han's return.

Chu Li looked at the traffic light ahead, a sense of weighing the situation in his brow: "If she stays here, Cheng Han will target her."

Cheng Wan thought of the look in Lin Qingya's eyes when she looked at Cheng Han; she understood that it was the kind of look that only exists when one has loved to the depths and been hurt to the extreme.

"What... is their relationship?" Cheng Wan really wanted to know.

Chu Li said in a low voice: "Lin Qingya once lived in the Cheng Family for a period of time, and she and Cheng Han had feelings for each other."

Cheng Wan had guessed as much.

"The death of Cheng Han's parents has to do with her." Chu Li did not say too much; he only needed Cheng Wan to understand how dangerous it was for Lin Qingya to remain in Yuncheng.

"Cheng Han's parents died?" Cheng Wan was surprised, "The one in the private room that day..."

"That was his uncle, Cheng Huade, and Cheng Mingzhu is his daughter." Chu Li explained, "The Cheng Family does not welcome Lin Qingya."

Cheng Wan understood; if the Cheng Family were to return to Yuncheng, Lin Qingya would be in a difficult situation.

Chu Li's suggestion could also be considered as looking out for Lin Qingya.

She felt a little grateful in her heart, and her tone was not as harsh as before.

"She had already planned to leave anyway."

Chu Li gave a faint "Mm," "That is a smart choice."

The car returned to Beicheng Villa.

Chu Li considerately helped open the car door and waited for Cheng Wan to get out.

He had no intention of going inside.

Cheng Wan did not ask him to, either.

She changed her shoes and went to the living room, but suddenly stood there, stunned.

In front of the large floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, the wedding dress she had just tried on was displayed.

Under the sunset, the wedding dress emitted layers of pearly white luster, its hem and train spread out over a layer of rose petals.

It looked exactly like a woman's most beautiful dream.

Chu Li did not know when he had entered; he hugged her from behind, his voice lingering.

"It is a wedding dress that belongs only to you."

He had ordered Assistant Wu to send it over.

Assistant Wu handled things efficiently and managed to have it delivered ahead of them.

Cheng Wan looked at the wedding dress, the corners of her eyes slightly moist.

It was too late.

She did not possess these things when she loved him the most, and now, she no longer wanted them.

"I don't need it."

She refused, turning to break free from Chu Li's embrace, "You should go."

Chu Li lowered his eyes, all his emotions settling into calm.

"Alright."

He let go and truly turned and left directly.

Cheng Wan stood blankly for a while and ordered the servants to put the wedding dress away.

She was thinking of Lin Qingya and called to ask if she had arrived home.

Lin Qingya's eyes were red and swollen; she must have just been crying.

She forced a smile, "I've already arrived."

Cheng Wan asked her about her relationship with Cheng Han, "Do you like him?"

It was a long time before Lin Qingya said slowly: "The past between him and me is over. Besides, the relationship between us is terrible; it's the kind that cannot be forgiven."

Cheng Wan knew she was referring to the death of Cheng Han's parents.

She did not know how to ask.

Lin Qingya wiped her tears and said softly: "I'm leaving tomorrow, Wanwan. Will you see me off?"

Cheng Wan was surprised, yet felt it was only right.

Leaving early was a good thing.

"Alright, I will see you off tomorrow."

"I'm sorry, Wanwan, I have to leave you here all alone."

Cheng Wan joked, "It's fine, Boss Lin. I'll come to rely on you later."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and those sad matters were temporarily forgotten.

Lin Qingya brought up the matter of the wedding dress, "Qin Yunshu still wanted to cause trouble for me, but I didn't expect you to slap her in the face directly."

Thinking of the scene at the time, she felt it was satisfying.

Cheng Wan curled her lips, "Who told her to have ill intentions."

She deserved it.

Lin Qingya then remembered that wedding dress and expressed deep regret, "That was a design by Kristin, a perfect work."

Kristin was her idol.

When she studied design, she wanted to be a student of that internationally renowned master, but unfortunately, due to some special circumstances, she had to start working right after graduating from university.

The distance between her and her idol was already a chasm.

Cheng Wan thought of the wedding dress in the living room; she had ordered the servants to put it away, but the train of the dress was so long that she really couldn't find a place to store it.

At this moment, the wedding dress was still in the living room.

She suggested, "The wedding dress is here at the villa; you have one night to study its design."

Since the wedding dress was just sitting there anyway, letting Lin Qingya study it could at least show some value.

All of Lin Qingya's bad moods vanished.

She scrambled up from the sofa in excitement, "Wait for me, I'll pack my things and come right over."

Lin Qingya arrived very quickly; upon seeing the wedding dress, she hardly dared to breathe, fearing she might profane its beauty.

She circled around it and clicked her tongue, "President Chu is truly generous."

Just this design alone was worth a fortune.

Cheng Wan sat on the sofa and smiled upon hearing this, "He did it for his child."

How much sincerity he had for her, she could not see.

Lin Qingya took photos frantically with her phone while saying, "If not for Qin Yunshu getting in the way, Chu Li would be a very good husband."

One can tell from the arrangements he made for Cheng Wan that he is quite good.

It is just a pity that this "quite good" is built on the foundation of Qin Yunshu not being there.

As long as Qin Yunshu appears, everything will be knocked back to its original state.

Chu Li is Qin Yunshu's knight.

Cheng Wan said indifferently, "Don't mention him."

Her good mood had been ruined.

Lin Qingya quickly said, "I won't, I won't."

She focused on studying the design of the wedding dress.

On the other side, in a Western restaurant.

Chu Li was watching the surveillance footage on his phone.

Naturally, he had heard their conversation.

His heart felt sour and astringent, an indescribable bitterness.

"President Chu, Miss Qin has arrived," Assistant Wu reminded him.

Chu Li put down his phone and looked at Qin Yunshu, who was walking over slowly.

She was wearing a white dress, as weak and delicate as ever.

Chu Li was slightly dazed; he thought of Cheng Wan, who would never have such a weak and delicate side.

"Brother," Qin Yunshu called to him.

Chu Li came back to his senses and handed her the menu, "What would you like to eat?"

Qin Yunshu shook her head; she had no appetite.

What happened at the bridal shop was like a thorn, deeply embedded in her heart.

The more she thought about it, the more stifled she felt.

Furthermore, Cheng Han had later made an excuse about having matters at home and left, leaving her there all alone.

She was desperate to receive comfort from Chu Li.

"Brother, only you are the best to me."

She was somewhat choked with sobs as she looked at Chu Li.

But she was met only with Chu Li's cold gaze.

"Brother, I..."

"Why did you go to cause trouble for Lin Qingya?" Chu Li put down the menu, his voice icy.

Qin Yunshu's heart skipped a beat, and her choked voice gradually faded away.

"I didn't, I really didn't know the designer was Lin Qingya."

She defended herself.

But Chu Li had already investigated it clearly.

"The owner has already told me everything; Yun Shu, you shouldn't have done this," he said straightforwardly, shattering Qin Yunshu's hope of getting away with it.
