Mo Jingshen raised his brows . His voice was low and heavy as he spoke: “After returning to Hai City, things won't be as easy as it is in T City . Since you're still here, treasure your last month of student life carefully . Go out and enjoy yourself more with your friends . Don't allow yourself to be treated too poorly . ”
Hearing these words, Ji Nuan suddenly felt her nose turning sour with emotions .
Previously, Mo Jingshen had mentioned that he couldn't wake her up when he left; otherwise, was he supposed to wake her up for her to cry in his arms?
They wouldn't be apart for more than a month, but Ji Nuan already felt unwilling to part from him .
Feng Ling did not accompany them on the way back . As Ji Nuan tugged on her seatbelt, she took a glance out of the windows . Feng Ling's silhouette as she called for a taxi and got into it was steady and nimble .
Perhaps she was being too sensitive . Maybe someone like Feng Ling, who had suffered through lots of hardships with a bunch of men, was much sturdier than most women and did not crumble as easily . Or perhaps, Feng Ling was only much better at concealing her feelings than most women and had shoved all of her unwanted emotions into a corner .
A shadow landed on her . By the time she came back to herself, Mo Jingshen had already placed her seatbelt on for her .
The black off-road vehicle stopped in front of a custom gown shop . Compared to the shop she had previously entered with Ling Feifei and the rest, this was much more high-end tenfold .
As Mo Jingshen reversed the car into the parking spot, he glanced at the woman's confused expression and explained, “There are less than ten universities with more than a hundred years of history within our country . Since you've decided to attend T University's one-hundredth anniversary, we shouldn't skimp on it . This is a shop opened by one of my friends, who is a French designer . Many of his gowns suit your disposition very well . Go in and take a look . If there's anything suitable, buy it . For all of the gowns sold here, they'll let you try it on and take your measurements into account before altering it abroad and sending it back to you . If there's anything you're dissatisfied with, you can send it back to Paris to be altered . ”
Ji Nuan did not plan on trying on any gown . However, after hearing Mo Jingshen's words, she nodded .
Mo Jingshen alighted and opened the door for her . He intertwined their hands and brought her in . An employee immediately approached to receive them . From his expression, it was as though he was a living facial recognition system . Without calling his boss or confirming Mo Jingshen's identity, he already recognized him . He greeted him with a smile: “Mr . Mo . ”
There were very few patrons inside the shop, with only several young people trying on clothes, and it was relatively quiet . The moment they entered, they caught everyone's attention .
Ji Nuan's hand was held in the man's warm palm . He did not pay attention to anyone's gaze . Neglecting their envious expression, he directly brought her in to view the various gowns .
Simple ones, complex ones, classic ones, modern ones, low profile ones, and even modern ones . They had all sorts of options available on display through the crystal windows .
Ji Nuan's gaze landed on a strapless gown adorned with gold . She recognized this gown as one of the featured dresses from the recent Paris Fashion Show . This year, simple gold adornments that were not too eye-catching were on-trend . The entire gown, both its top and bottom, the feeling it gave off and its color, caught Ji Nuan's eyes .
The skirt flared out into an line shape and was covered in a layer of soft muslin cloth adorned with little sparkling embellishments . As a whole, it was beautiful, and it would suit Ji Nuan very well .
Seeing that this piece had caught her eye, an employee by the side immediately smiled . “Is it this piece? We'll bring it out for you to try it on immediately . ”
Ji Nuan did not agree, nor did she refuse . It was true that the gown had caught her liking . However, she felt that if Mo Jingshen weren't in T City on that day, dressing so beautifully without anyone by her side would only cause her to appear too glamorous and lonely .
“Don't like it?” Mo Jingshen stood by her side and saw the hesitation that flashed past her eyes . As he asked, his breath landed near her nose .
“I didn't even know that T City had such a great gown shop . I've never seen it before . ” Ji Nuan lifted her eyes .
Mo Jingshen watched her . “Do you like it or not?”
“I do like it . But isn't it too glamorous?”
“Those classmates of yours are either young and inexperienced, or overbearing and conceited . They will only dress more glamorously during the anniversary . This gown is already considered very low profile . ” Mo Jingshen sounded composed as he spoke, but Ji Nuan sensed from his gaze that he was delighted with this piece as well .
The employee had already carefully retrieved the gown . She indicated for Ji Nuan to head to the fitting room with a smile .
Ji Nuan nodded and entered .
There were many mirrors in the fitting room . After helping her into the gown, the employees around her all exclaimed their admiration .
Ji Nuan ran her hand through her long hair as she looked at herself in the mirror . It felt like a long time since she had intentionally dressed herself up . She had not planned on dressing up during the anniversary . After all, she no longer had the attitude of a twenty-one-year-old . When dealing with many things, she only cared about getting through it . She had almost forgotten about her own beauty and how she always used to draw admiration when she appeared glamorously at large parties .
The light in the fitting room was soft . She touched her own hair, watching herself .
Her clear and smooth face appeared more prominent and dignified as compared to her usual laid-back appearance . It was as though she had rediscovered her status as Hai City's Number One Warmth . 1 The origin of this title could be clearly seen . The gown was strapless at the top, revealing her delicate and beautiful collarbone . Moving down slightly, the vaguely discernible curves around her chest did not appear too revealing; it gave off a comfortable sense of seductiveness . The woman's slender body and beautiful curves were perfectly shown .
This piece suited her very well; there was no need even to alter it .
Watching her reflection in the mirror, Ji Nuan felt equally as beautiful as when she had gotten married; however, back then, she did not pay careful attention to how she had appeared .
She stepped out of the fitting room to see Mo Jingshen sitting on the sofa, waiting for her . He was flipping through a magazine, appearing graceful and quiet .
Upon hearing her, he looked up .
Unlike the other men present, who were picking out clothes for their female partners and were all startled with awe, Mo Jingshen's eyes immediately warmed .
Mo Jingshen understood better than anyone how attractive Ji Nuan was . Shock was no longer suitable for him . It was only that, whenever he saw her appear more beautiful than before, he really wished he could lock this little woman up and keep her away from desirous eyes .
No matter if it was appearance or temperament, Ji Nuan truly appeared like a dignified, romantic princess . She rarely dressed up intentionally . Without any pretentious thoughts, her mild and reserved personality made her look much more beautiful .
“Does it look good?” Facing Mo Jingshen, Ji Nuan was still somewhat apprehensive .
“Beautiful . Very much so . ” As usual, the man was not stingy with his praises .
Ji Nuan immediately lit up with a smile . “In that case, let's get this piece . I won't try any other ones . I'll pair it with a similarly colored shoe during the anniversary event . ”
By the side, the employees continued piling on the praises . Ji Nuan informed them that she wanted this piece and turned to Mo Jingshen: “I'll go to the fitting room to change out of it . ”
“En . ”
Although the man agreed with a low voice, he stood up and approached her .
