The bride herself had given her the leeway to design her dress according to her preference. While the Black Nightingale was a popular designer, this was actually the first ti Li ili was designing a dress for a wedding event.
This should give her brand na a popularity boost since the Gu family was a prominent family from the capital. Many people would want to see the sole heiress of the Gu family marrying He Lianchen. It was the perfect opportunity for Li ili and her newest collection to get free publicity.
Still, such a thing cos for a price and it wasn't monetary. The ti she exerted to finish the details of each dress was utterly consuming and she barely had ti to relax and see her favorite little buns.
Li ili sighed inwardly. They were the only joy she could indulge in once in a while whenever she wasn't busy at work. As for her own family, they better not cause her anymore trouble. She was holding out just fine doing what she loved and didn't care much about their family business since her brother could manage their chains of restaurants on his own.
She took her phone from her table and checked the latest photos of the little buns that Tang Moyu had sent to their group chat earlier, a smile spreading on her lips as she saw Little Star's hair pinned up in different hairstyles.
[She's really cute in those twin braids.]
She sent the group a smiley sticker.
[Hn, I wonder where she got that from.] Lin Qianrou followed with a heart emoji.
Li ili grinned, her fingers swiftly typing over her screen.
[Qian, that's pretty obvious. Little Star got it from her Auntie i. Moyu had no choice but to see my face everyday when she was pregnant with her twins. That beauty definitely ca from !] She bragged.
Anyway, it was pretty obvious to her that Little Star took after her mother. It's a sha that they still didn't know who fathered the twins, but perhaps it's for the better. Li ili knew what could happen if so random man ca suddenly to claim his paternity rights on the little buns. Tang Moyu would surely face a custody battle in court to protect her twins.
Speaking of Tang Moyu, Li ili hadn't forgotten her suggestion to give her brother a call. Did her brother really think he would be able to convince her to return ho by seeking the empress's help?
Well, maybe he thought he could, but it was definitely out of question because she's already a grown up woman who didn't want to be dictated by her own family on how she lived her life. She's been happy and content with what she was doing so far and wasn't planning to drop it just because her family wanted to marry her off to so stranger.
"ili." She heard her brother's cool, baritone voice that could make any woman swoon upon hearing it.
"So I heard from Moyu you want sothing from . You could have just left a ssage you know. What is it about now?" She asked, not beating around the bush to save each other's ti.
"Father wants you to co ho in two weeks. He wants to introduce soone to you."
"Okay…" Li ili had a bad feeling about this.
"He's a VP at one of the popular firms in Shanghai." Li Yuanyi continued.
"Uh-huh, and?" Li ili slouched on her seat and twirled her long hair with her forefinger, already knew what this talk was all about.
"Oh." Li Yuanyi sighed and she could hear him smacking his forehead in frustration. Her brother had this weird habit whenever he was under pressure about sothing he didn't want to get involved with.
"He's a bachelor. Sa age as you. A pretty decent man with a good background according to Father."
There he said it. Although Li Yuanyi already knew how his little sister felt about this type of arrangent, their parents were still bitter that none of their children hadn't gotten engaged or married despite him and Li ili already being of marriageable age.
He could hear his sister snorting at the other end of the line, so unladylike for her status. If their mother could hear Li ili right now, she would surely shriek dramatically and scold his sister.
"ili…" He warned her. He didn't want to hear the complaints that she should have said directly to their parents.
"I know, so why is he still single? Too busy at work like you?" Li ili smirked. "Can't move on from his first love and chose to remain single throughout his life?"
Li Yuanyi ran a hand over his face. Surely, his sister knew where to poke his weaknesses.
"I don't know the details and if you could have just answered my emails and ssages that would be great. Do you think I would really chase after the empress if I haven't tried to contact you?" He defended.
Li ili humd. He was right. She rarely checked her email and would ignore anything that didn't hold importance in her inbox.
"Well, too bad I'm not interested, my dear brother. Can you tell Father to stop setting up with blind dates? I will marry whenever I feel like it. It's not like I'm missing out on sothing just because most won at my age were already married and have children of their own. I like to enjoy my ti. Thank you very much."
She heard her brother sighed. They probably have different reasons why they were still single and unmarried, but Li ili was pretty sure he could understand her sentints.
"Alright. I'll see what I can do."
