Thinking about all this, her heart felt a bit gloomy, but she quickly rallied herself.
It was precisely because she hadn't had a proper wedding before that she was going to make up for all the past regrets this time.
With that thought in mind, she was filled with energy again.
Just as she was about to get up and go to the fitting room to try on the next wedding dress, a man suddenly walked into the bridal shop.
The man was dressed in an expensive custom - made suit. His cufflinks sparkled brightly under the store's lights.
His features were noble and outstanding, which immediately caught everyone's attention in the store.
His beautiful almond - shaped eyes scanned the people in the store before lightly landing on the two of them.
Then he strode towards them.
"Long time no see, you two."
Gong Ming's voice was as gentle as ever, like the warm afternoon sun in spring, making people yearn for more.
The moment she saw the man appear, Yin Yiyan's heart started pounding uncontrollably.
Watching him getting closer step by step, her heart fluttered even more.
It had been almost two weeks. She thought she wouldn't see Gong Ming again, but here he was, showing up suddenly.
Thank goodness she had dressed up before going out today, Yin Yiyan thought to herself.
Ning Anmiao saw Gong Ming and instinctively became vigilant. "Mr. Gong, what do you want with us?"
Gong Ming smiled gracefully, with an air of courtesy and modesty in his eyes. "I'm sorry to interrupt you two. I'm here to see Miss Yin."
Gong Ming's facial features were soft, unlike Lu Yan's cold and hard ones. He was more gentle and elegant, making it hard to associate him with "evil".
He turned to face Yin Yiyan, still smiling. "Miss Yin, do you still remember our previous agreement?"
Yin Yiyan looked at his face and after a long while, she said, "I thought you were too busy and forgot about it, Mr. Gong."
There was a hint of complaint in her words without her realizing it.
Gong Ming laughed. He immediately caught the blame in her words. He walked over and held out his hand to her. "It was my oversight. I went abroad on a business trip these days and didn't tell you in advance."
His obedient way of admitting his mistake pleased Yin Yiyan.
"Would you like to come with me today?" When he spoke, there seemed to be sunshine in the corners of his eyes and brows.
Yin Yiyan hesitated for only a second before placing her hand in his.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to point at the wedding dress in the middle for Ning Anmiao. "This one. I'm sure you'll like this one."
Ning Anmiao sighed helplessly and waved at her. "You go ahead and do your thing. I'll pick one myself."
After Yin Yiyan left with Gong Ming, Ning Anmiao took out her phone and sent a text message to Lu Yan while lowering her head.
[Gong Ming just came and took Yanyan away.]
[Now I'm the only one left in the bridal shop. I'm so lonely, wuwuwu... [crying emoji]]
Less than a minute after sending it, the other person replied immediately.
[Send me your location.]
Ning Anmiao grinned.
She actually knew that Lu Yan must be extremely busy now, but she just inexplicably wanted to act coquettishly and have him appear in front of her right away.
Only when one is sure of being loved can they be so willful.
She held her phone and tapped a few times on the screen. After sending her location, she got up and went into the fitting room again.
Since she couldn't decide which one was the most suitable anyway, she might as well wait for the hero to come and choose it himself.
It would take some time for Lu Yan to get here from Xinghe. Ning Anmiao tried on a few more wedding dresses. Finally, she found the one she liked.
It was a pure - white new Chinese - style dress. The collar was designed with Chinese - style frog buttons, and there was a small circle of pearls on the cuffs. The fabric of the skirt was not thick, just a thin layer, making the whole dress solemn yet light.
She was very satisfied.
After the previous engagement fiasco, she knew that she would have to keep walking around and toasting in the wedding dress on the wedding day. Compared with those heavy wedding dress skirts and complicated designs, a simpler style suited her taste better.
Moreover, this dress was really to her liking.
Looking at herself in the mirror in the fitting room, Ning Anmiao straightened the hem of her dress. Just as she was about to lift the curtain and go out, she heard the voice of the staff outside.
"Miss Ning is trying on a wedding dress. You can wait outside for a while."
Ning Anmiao's heart suddenly raced. Her intuition told her that Lu Yan was here. She immediately lifted the curtain and walked out.
As soon as she took a step, her eyes met Lu Yan's, who was sitting on the sofa.
His gaze suddenly became hot and locked directly on her, scanning her from head to toe bit by bit.
Ning Anmiao was very beautiful, but not the kind of internet - celebrity beauty who was stunning at first sight but quickly forgotten. Instead, she exuded a gentle and indescribable sense of intimacy from within.
Her demeanor was dignified and generous. The elegance that came from her inner knowledge made people unable to forget her after just one look.
This new Chinese - style dress brought out her charm to the fullest, giving people the feeling of a noble young lady from a scholarly family.
She was born noble.
The moment he saw Ning Anmiao, a glint flashed in Lu Yan's deep, black eyes.
Actually, this wasn't the first time he had seen her in a wedding dress.
At their previous wedding, he had also been amazed, but she had looked a bit more desolate at that time and wasn't very happy.
Now that he thought about it, it was probably because Lu's mother had said something discouraging before the ceremony, which had made Ning Anmiao sad.
He just hadn't known about it at that time and thought she was reluctant to marry him.
So his joy hadn't lasted long and had quickly faded away.
But this time, she was so beautiful that it was hard to resist.
The feeling of being in love was so intense.
He walked over, placed his hands on the hem of her dress on both sides of her waist, and said in a deep and textured voice, "You're very beautiful today."
Being complimented so straightforwardly, Ning Anmiao couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. Her voice was also a bit proud. "Only beautiful today? Weren't I beautiful before?"
When she acted willfully, she really seemed like a child.
She showed her spoilt side to the fullest.
Lu Yan looked at her intently. After a few seconds, he slowly said, "You're beautiful. You're always beautiful as long as it's you."
If it were someone else, Ning Anmiao would probably think there was flattery in those words. But when it came from Lu Yan, she just felt that he was sincerely complimenting her.
"That's more like it."
He couldn't hold back and kissed her forehead in the bridal shop.
Not yet used to being intimate in front of so many people, Ning Anmiao immediately felt that the place he had kissed was burning hot. She quickly pushed him. "No, there are other people around."
"We're going to be a legal couple soon. There's nothing to hide about this," Lu Yan said with a smile as he noticed her ears were burning red.
