Chapter 184 To the Mall
After bidding farewell to Zhou Ying, Chu Feng brought Yun Muyu back to the Haitang Garden Mansion. Duo Duo sensibly went back into her room after dinner to finish her school work \. On the other hand, Chu Feng and Yun Muqing had gone for a walk.
As for Yun Muyu, she was being a third wheel and Chu Feng had brushed her off earlier on. She went to do the dishes and errands around the house in annoyance, and had taken on the role as the family’s housemaid.
The city centre of Jiangling was bright and warm as the lights were turned on in the houses, turning the city into a cheery place.
Yun Muqing and Chu Feng felt the refreshing breeze blow by their ears as they walked down the streets of Jiangling. The night view of the dim lights created a magical and romantic atmosphere.
They looked like a young couple that were passionately in love, thus attracted some glances from the passersby.
Yun Muqing’s eyes sparkled as her emotions were all over the place and she could not help but to blush. She then thought to herself, Pfft, who wants to be coupled with him?
“Chu Feng, we have been walking for ages, where are you bringing me to? I still need to go back and tutor Duo Duo on her homework,” Yun Muqing snapped. This guy did not utter a single word throughout the entire journey.
Chu Feng laughed and pointed to the front. “We are here.”
Yun Muqing turned her gaze toward the direction and saw a boutique that was holding a wedding exhibition in the fancy mall. Lights were glittering under the luxurious and romantic interior design. There were various wedding dresses, diamond rings, and jewelries from big brands with exorbitant prices, which had attracted the attention of many youths.
“These two months are the peak period for wedding ceremonies. Dozens of local and international brands renowned for their wedding dress and jewelries had collaborated to exhibit thousands of dresses. Rumor has it that there will be some rare pieces available. They have taken part in 17 exhibitions previously, and tonight will be their last night here in Jiangling,” said Chu Feng. “Come, let us go take a look.”
Chu Feng did not explain further and just grabbed hold of Yun Muqing’s hand. Yun Muqing was shocked as her mouth fell wide open. Her heart was pounding as she was feeling nervous and terrified.
Chu Feng was bringing her to look for a wedding dress?
W-Was Chu Feng going to propose to her?!
Just as the thought emerged in her mind, her face became fiery hot. She was confused and nervous as she bit her lips and stuttered, “ Chu Feng, don’t you think you’re acting a little too rash? W-We have not reached that stage yet.”
Yun Muqing was bashful and her heart was thumping wildly; she had been knocked senseless by Chu Feng’s unexpected behavior.
Chu Feng gazed at her, who was acting all shy and anxious. It was at this moment when Chu Feng realized that he had made her misunderstand things.
Chu Feng just smiled helplessly as he explained, “Muqing, you have misunderstood my intention. My sister, Zhou Ying, is getting married and I would like to give her a wedding gift. That is why I called you out, so that you can help me pick a wedding dress out.” Chu Feng was getting emotional. “For as long as I could remember, I had never given her any presents until now. A wedding would be a significant event in her life, so as her brother, I ought to give her my most precious blessings.”
He had secretly paid for the diamond necklace that cost five hundred and eighty thousand in the mall during the day and even bought dozens of jewelries for Zhou Ying without any hesitation.
However, all of those were perfunctory in Chu Feng’s mind. It was his sister’s wedding after all. It must be glorious and attract the eyes of the entire world.
This present must be well chosen, so that everyone would be envious of it.
“I see, you should’ve told me this earlier.” Yun Muqing felt relieved and rolled her eyes irritatedly toward Chu Feng. She just had the shock of her life as she thought that Chu Feng was going to propose to her. She was not prepared for that.
After that, she felt an inexplicable sadness and disappointment in her, as if everything that belonged to her had been snatched away by Zhou Ying.
Yun Muqing pouted and scoffed discontently, “You are not buying it for me anyway, so why did you bring me here? Are you trying to brag about your relationship with your childhood sweetheart and how loving you both are?”
Chu Feng sensed a familiar scent of jealousy in the air and knew that Yun Muqing, who was a jealous lover, was starting to get jealous again. If this issue was not handled with care, there was a great possibility that they would not be speaking with each other again for some period of time.
It was after gaining some experience on flattering his wife did Chu Feng manage to master the core strategy to overcome this problem.
He then praised her with a truthful look on his face by saying, “That is because you have the best taste and the greatest insight. What would tough men like me know about exquisite items like wedding dresses?”
“That is more like it. Since you’re being so sincere, I will help you on this matter.”
