ng Renshu brought the twins to a renowned brand designer boutique. It is located in the city center and is one of the brands used by won in high-class society. What made the brand famous was the simple yet intricate design which created a graceful image for whoever was wearing it. Every woman liked to look classy in every situation, so this brand had a lot of excellent reviews.
When the three of them arrived, one salesperson ca up to them with a bright smile on her face.
"Welco. What kind of dress are you looking for today?"
"I have made an order before this. Here is the slip of proof." ng Renshu said while showing a piece of paper to the salesperson, which she politely accepted.
"Right. We have prepared the dress for you. Please go this way."
ng Renshu turned to look at Li Caiyi, who seed disinterested and only stood in silence. Unlike Li Chunhua, who had run around and stared at the dress on display with sparkly eyes, there was no trace of excitent or joy in Li Caiyi's eyes.
He sighed inwardly, thinking that he must have upset her again. However, her mood would surely improve after she saw the dress he had prepared for her. He had made sure the dress fit accordingly to her taste.
The expectant ng Renshu walked over to Li Caiyi with a gentle expression. "Xiaoyi, the salesperson is fetching your dress right now. Do you want to try it for a bit to see if it fits you or not?"
Li Caiyi cast a sideways look at him. "Even if I refuse, you will still make do it, won't you? What's the point of asking?"
By this point, ng Renshu had gotten used to her sharp look and speech, so instead of feeling hurt like before, he found it refreshing instead.
"That's right, so you should know better that resistance is futile, right? The fitting room is over there." He pointed at the room in the back.
"Be careful, your true color is showing. You are really hateful, do you know that?" Li Caiyi said, without bothering to cover the poison in her tone.
ng Renshu smiled in amusent. "I'm just a gentleman taking care of my feisty little partner here."
Li Caiyi did not like how ng Renshu was getting more and more comfortable with her. She truly did not understand what she did wrong. Didn't she have done her best to avoid him, even hurting his feelings on purpose? So why was he so persistent?
"Brother Renshu! Look at the dress over there! It's so beautiful!" Li Chunhua ca over and tugged at ng Renshu's arm rrily.
ng Renshu looked down at her with a fond smile. "Alright. Xiaohua, you can pick a dress you want. Brother will buy it for you."
"Really? I'm so happy!"
Li Caiyi looked at her sister's cute, beaming face. That should be the correct response if a girl were told to choose a dress by a guy. However, Li Caiyi did not plan to make the right answer here.
Li Caiyi walked toward the fitting room without paying any attention to those two. She wanted to get this over quickly.
The salesperson who saw her coming gave a polite smile. "Are you the one who will try the dress? Please co this way."
Li Caiyi nodded and followed her. They soon arrived in a cozy room with a couch inside, which looked like a VIP room. The salesperson gestured to a mannequin with a midnight blue gown on it, and Li Caiyi forgot to breathe for a mont when she saw the dress.
It was a long sleeveless gown with a high collar that properly covered the chest and back area. It had glitters sprinkled all over the dress to create a pattern. The dress looked like the night sky adorned with thousand stars on it for a mont.
The design was very simple, but those star patterns could not possibly be easy to make. Not to ntion, the fabric was smooth and cool, very comfortable to the skin.
Li Caiyi touched it in a trance. She did not want to admit it, but she had to give it to ng Renshu for his sophisticated talent in choosing a suitable outfit for the occasion. This skill must have co naturally to him after seeing so many good-quality clothes throughout his life.
The gown was right up in her alley. Li Caiyi liked everything about it. She especially liked how the gown looked simple and modest yet classy and elegant at the sa ti.
"Do you like it?"
Li Caiyi was snapped out of her reverie when she heard ng Renshu's voice. She turned back and saw a satisfied smirk adorning that pretty face of his. She found that smirk ingratiating.
"Well, of course, it's good because a professional made it." Li Caiyi harrumphed.
"Is that so? I'm glad you like it." He smiled even wider.
ng Renshu's reaction unsettled her, so she did not prolong their conversation and told the salesperson to help her wear the gown. She wanted to look as ungrateful as she could, so he would feel turned off by her attitude.
Li Caiyi tried on the gown in a fitting room with the help of the kind salesperson. To her surprise, the asurent fit perfectly on her. Did ng Renshu use Li Chunhua's asurent as a reference? Or did Su Suyin tell him about it?
Whichever it was, Li Caiyi had fallen in love with this gown. She looked like a girl who wore the night sky in her skirt as she twirled around. The glitters looked like a sprinkle of stardust when she did that. It was srizing to see.
'ng Renshu sure is playing dirty. He knew no woman can resist the temptation of a pretty dress.' Li Caiyi thought to herself resentfully.

The salesperson also gasped in awe when she saw how the gown hugged her figure perfectly. It accentuated her slim waist, slender neck, and protruding chest so much. If this custor did not co in wearing a school uniform, she would mistake Li Caiyi as a legitimate adult.
"Miss, this gown looks like it was tailored just for you! It suits you so well!"
"T-thank you," Li Caiyi replied awkwardly.
"How about you take off your glasses and untie your hair? I bet you will look more beautiful!"
"No, it's okay. I'm just making sure the asurent is correct."
"Really? But…" the salesperson glanced toward the door hesitantly, "I think your boyfriend is still waiting for you outside. I bet he is looking forward to seeing you co out looking pretty."
Li Caiyi's mouth twitched slightly. "He is not my boyfriend. We are not even that close, so don't mind him. Can you please help unzip the gown now?"
The salesperson had dealt with many custors throughout her career, so she imdiately perceived the change of mood in the girl's tone. She dared not to stall more ti and quickly helped her out of the gown.
Even so, a big question popped out in her mind.
What kind of man prepared an expensive, specially tailored gown if not for his beloved one? Moreover, the guy who ca with her kept stealing a glance at her all the ti, like he was afraid she would disappear if he looked away, even for a mont.
If that was not a sign of affection, then what was that?
