Chapter 378: A Secret Affair
It was early in the morning. Qingchen and Qian ng were separated after breakfast and all the things necessary for dressing up were taken to the cabins on either side.
Mo Qingchen stood in front of the mirror and put on the suspenders, feeling a bubble of anxiety as the caras focused on him. He looked at it and heard the caraman chuckle.
"Mr. Mo, don't be conscious. Dress as you normally would," he said.
Qingchen couldn't help but grumble. Even Qian ng didn't make him wear suspenders. Moreover, she was much better at dressing him up than he could ever be.
As he slid the tie off the hanger and whipped it around his neck, he really wished that she was here to help him with it.
Despite his thoughts, he swiftly tied the knot and settled it centrally. He looked up at the mirror, adjusted his cuffs, and then glanced away.
The ti on the clock showed that he was getting married in an hour.
Unlike last ti, when he hadn't been nervous or even happy about the event, this ti, he was looking forward to how she would look in the dress.
She had refused to show him that bit. Everything else, he had an opinion in. The dress alone, she refused to show. She had done the fittings herself and made sure he didn't even drive her to the location lest he peeked inside the store.
About this matter, she was superstitious. When he asked her why she shrugged.
"You never had that one mont when you were stunned to see . I want to give you that. I know people say it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding, but actually, I think seeing the dress with the hairdo and the makeup… it's the thing of dreams. You see in my most beautiful mont without a mory of anything on to taint it."
She nodded sagely after that.
He had scoffed. "You take my breath away every morning. It doesn't matter what clothes you wear. I find you stunning because you are in those clothes. They have no particular attractive qualities to charm ." His cheeky grin made him smack her.
"Humor for now. You will know what I an when I walk down the aisle."
And therefore, like the obedient husband that he was, he left her to her plans and waited to be stunned by her as she had wished.
Qian ng on the other hand was getting into the dress and putting on her jewelry without a hint of worry. On the day they had gotten the wedding certificate, she had felt her heart at her throat and she was suffocating under the pressure of what she was about to do.
But now, it was as simple as breathing.
For a curious second, she wondered if Mo Qingchen was getting into the clothes without a problem. On most days when he needed to wear a tie, she would take the small stool and stand on it. She would slowly tie it for him because he always said he was not good at it.
She had a sneaking suspicion that he liked to see her face up close and look down at her lashes as she concentrated on him. She suspected that he liked kissing her forehead. She was sure was the feather-like kiss on her hair was supposed to be a secret affair that he was amused by.
She allowed him that.
Mo Yize and Li Li Hua were the ones fussing over her dress.
"I got you everything for the ritual!" Mo Yize said quickly.
Qian ng looked up at her in surprise.
"I knew you would forget about it, so I got it for you," she smiled.
"I already have sothing new and sothing blue. Do you have sothing old and borrowed?" Qian ng asked.
"I prepared those, too," she whined. "Anyway. I found that smoky quartz crystal necklace that you loved to wear at university. I borrowed it from you and then forgot to give it back. I found it while cleaning by room." Yize pulled it out of the pocket in her dress and showed it to Qian ng.
"I looked for that for so long!" Qian ng scolded. "I can't wear it with the dress," she told Yize.
"Trust my judgnt. You have a button holding the collar up and the whole back is empty. I will attach this to the button at the back."
Qian ng blinked. "That's not a bad idea. And what about the borrowed?"
"Mom brought a brooch that matches the blue hairpin and the earring you are going to wear."
Yize had gone to her to fit the dress and choose the jewelry. The blue hairpin and the earring were part of The Shift collection. As it had been discussed, they were going to use the wedding video to promote it.
Qian ng watched as her dress ca together.
"Do you think Qingchen can tie his necktie properly?" she spoke out loud after a mont of silence.
Li Li Hua stiffened. "Why do you ask that?" she voiced.
"He always makes do it for him when he wears one. He keeps saying that he is very bad at tying neckties," Qian ng inford in a small voice.
Yize giggled without speaking and Li Li Hua broke into laughter. "The boy must have fooled you because he likes it when you tie it for him."
Qian ng's eyes widened in surprise. "I was suspicious but…"
"He was the class prefect in school. He can tie a necktie in various ways and perfectly. He is strict when it cos to dress code." Li Li Hua watched as Qian ng glared at the mirror.
In her head, she was planning on how to punish her husband.
"Are you trying to rub it in? Everyone knows how much your husband loves you," Yize teased. She smacked Qian ng's ass playfully and then hastily backed away out of Qian ng's reach.
"Hey!" Qian ng called with a laugh. Mo Yize… after months of therapy, she seed to have developed back to her bubbly self.
