Trying on the Wedding Dress
After finishing his conversation with Chu Xuan, Fang Zhou left the café.
It wasn’t that Chu Xuan hadn’t invited him to stay a while longer, but being around her always made Fang Zhou feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
It was like facing a cold, calculating machine rather than a person.
He’d rather deal with the oppressive heat outside than stay there.
“Buzz~ Buzz~”
His phone vibrated gently in his pocket.
“Qin Yun?”
Fang Zhou was a bit surprised to see her na on the screen.
At this ti of day... wasn’t she supposed to be at work?
“Where are you?”
As soon as the call connected, Qin Yun got straight to the point.
“I’m at...”
Fang Zhou didn’t hesitate and told her his location truthfully.
He was eting Chu Xuan for business, not anything involving Chu Xinran, so there was nothing to hide from Qin Yun.
“A café?”
Qin Yun was also surprised.
She sensed sothing was off but didn’t dwell on it and said, “Wait there for . I’ll co pick you up from the office.”
From the office?
Qin Yun’s office could only an Fang Zhou’s company.
She went to the company to find ?
Fang Zhou was curious.
What did Qin Yun want?
Why would she suddenly co to the company during work hours? Was it sothing urgent?
Twenty minutes later, Qin Yun’s car pulled up beside Fang Zhou.
He bent down and got into the passenger seat, fastening his seatbelt.
“What brings you here?”
“Why aren’t you at work?”
They both asked their questions simultaneously.
“Pfft~”
“Haha!”
They laughed together, feeling like an old married couple.
“I ca here to discuss a business project.”
After laughing, Fang Zhou answered Qin Yun’s question.
Qin Yun started the car and continued, “What client made you travel so far?”
Fang Zhou briefly explained the cooperation project.
However, he hesitated for a mont and decided not to ntion that the investor was Chu Xuan.
“Who has such good vision?”
But just because he didn’t say it didn’t an Qin Yun wouldn’t ask.
She drove, eyes on the road, and casually asked.
Fang Zhou felt a bit nervous.
He suddenly thought agreeing to work with Chu Xuan might have been too hasty!
What if Qin Yun found out it was Chu Xinran’s mother and started making wild assumptions, affecting his sister’s kidney transplant?
“She wouldn’t be that petty, right?”
But the nervousness only lasted a mont because Fang Zhou believed he understood Qin Yun well enough.
“Actually, I don’t know her well. It was our first eting. I only know her last na is Chu.”
Chu?
Qin Yun’s grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly.
Chu what?
Could it be Chu Xinran?
Just as she was about to ask, Fang Zhou added, “She looked like a very elegant middle-aged woman.”
Elegant?
Middle-aged woman?
Chu Xinran’s na was imdiately crossed off in Qin Yun’s mind.
Her heart, which had been slightly on edge, settled back down.
Usually, she wasn’t this sensitive.
But ever since reading Zhang Zhiyin’s story, a sense of unease had been looming over her.
No!
Fang Zhou is mine!
No one can take him away!
Even if it ans death... he’s mine!
Mine alone!
“What brings you to the company today?”
Fang Zhou’s question pulled Qin Yun back from her spiraling thoughts.
“Aren’t you supposed to be at the hospital?”
Fang Zhou looked at her.
“Oh! Right! Work!”
Qin Yun nodded instinctively.
Then she shook her head and rembered the ‘surprise’ she had planned.
“I took the day off to give you a surprise.”
“Surprise?”
Fang Zhou’s heart tightened.
What kind of surprise could you give ?
Just don’t scare , Dr. Qin!
“We’re here!”
Fang Zhou was about to ask more when the car turned into a small alley, parked, and the engine was turned off in one smooth motion.
“This place is...”
Fang Zhou blinked.
“That’s right, it’s a bridal shop!”
Qin Yun unbuckled her seatbelt and smiled at Fang Zhou.
“The surprise I prepared for you is to try on wedding dresses!”
Her beautiful eyes held a hint of shyness, typical of a young girl, mixed with endless warmth and happiness.
“......”
Fang Zhou followed Qin Yun out of the car, bewildered.
He stood in front of the bridal shop, even more confused.
He hesitated, showing no sign of joy.
God help , this is too sudden!
“This really is a ‘surprise’!”
“Fang Zhou, let’s go in!”
Qin Yun, seemingly oblivious to Fang Zhou’s hesitation, walked up and linked her arm with his, her voice soft and sweet, almost like she was acting coy.
Your character...
Fang Zhou wanted to remind her, but given the situation, he didn’t know what to say.
He opened his mouth, genuinely wanting to refuse Qin Yun’s idea of trying on wedding dresses today.
“But my sister’s surgery...”
Thinking of his family, Fang Zhou wavered.
“What’s wrong?”
Qin Yun noticed Fang Zhou wasn’t moving.
Her smile began to fade.
The warmth and happiness in her eyes also...
“Let’s go!”
After a brief internal struggle, Fang Zhou finally made up his mind.
No matter what, his sister’s surgery was the top priority right now.
“Chu Xinran...”
But for so reason, almost as soon as he took a step,
that night, that dream, Chu Xinran...
He instinctively looked at Qin Yun, who was holding his arm.
Qin Yun’s face was once again filled with a smile, her eyes brimming with warmth and happiness.
Surely, Qin Yun wouldn’t be like Chu Xinran, right?
Fang Zhou thought as he stepped into the bridal shop.
