Chapter 261: The Best Men and the Bridesmaids (Part One)

Having said the words, Mu Qing blinked at Jing Yichen hard.

Jing Yichen had just approved that Mu Qing was allowed to court Zhao Anan. Therefore, he was hoping that Jing Yichen won’t embarrass him at the moment.

He nodded calmly. “Yes, Mu Qing will go and try the ceremonial clothes tomorrow as well.”

Zhao Anan didn’t quite trust her best friend Shangguan Ning at the moment, but she trusted her own cousin. So she snorted unhappily.

Actually, she had wanted to part from Mu Qing, because it was not right to stick with him all the time.

Did he want her to marry him?

What if she died?

It wouldn’t matter if she died alone – it would just be her mother who would get sad. Mothers didn’t want to be separated from their children ever.

But Mu Qing could stay away from her and didn’t need to be sad over her death.

She had wanted Shangguan Ning to hook someone up with Mu Qing and she was not joking about it.

She had been more than happy during the past few days.

She knew pretty well how nicely Mu Qing was treating her. But the nicer he was, the less she should bring pain to him.

It would have been wonderful if she were a healthy woman.

But she couldn’t afford to promise Mu Qing that she would keep him company for his entire life.

No matter how complicated Zhao Anan felt, she still went to try the gown with Mu Qing the following day.

Apart from Mu Qing and Zhao Anan, Zheng Jing and his sister Zheng Lun were with the group as well.

Zheng Jing was tall and strong-built. As a graduate from military school, he had an excellent posture. He had a pair of well defined eyebrows and bronze coloured eyes and skin.

His sister Zheng Lun possessed excellent facial features and her skin was snowy white. She was short but looked extremely elegant and graceful. Her dark-color hair was all over her shoulders and her voice was very soft. She was a lovely yet introverted girl.

Zhao Anan had met them, but Shangguan Ning had not. Jing Yichen had told her that there would be two bridesmaids and two best men for their wedding – Zhao Anan and Mu Qing as well as Zheng Jing and Zheng Lun.

They greeted each other and Zheng Jing saluted to Shangguan Ning in a serious way and addressed her as “Sister!”

After Jing Yichen took Mu Qing and Zheng Jing to the trying room next door, Shangguan Ning took hold of Zheng Lun’s hands and said smilingly, “Thank you for being my bridesmaid. Your appearance makes the bridesmaid team look even prettier.”

Zheng Lun had very beautiful features. Her eyes were so exquisite as if drawn by a painter. The two siblings looked totally different from each other.

Zhao Anan got pissed as she cried out, “What do you mean Shangguan Ning? You think I am ugly? You aren’t that pretty either! Lun, don’t get tricked by this woman. She is very vicious! She can sell you out next second! You are pretty and pure, you better stay away from her!”

Zheng Lun started to blush. She wasn’t used to talking with strangers and barely knew Zhao Anan and Shangguan Ning. She felt kind of embarrassed when she was teased by them.

“No… no… you two look very beautiful, I have never met anyone more beautiful than you two.” Having said the words, she suddenly felt that she must have sounded awkward and insincere. So she explained uneasily, “I mean it! Those are true words!”

Zheng Lun really thought that these two were the most beautiful women whom she had ever seen, especially the bride-to-be Shangguan Ning who looked elegant, beautiful, and graceful.

She understood that she was a bit timid and flushed after exchanging a few words with strangers. She also knew that she would panic when she was surrounded by too many people. The reason why she agreed to become the bridesmaid was because her brother had forced her to – he wanted her to meet more people and to socialize.

Shangguan Ning had not expected that Zheng Lun would be so timid. Fearing that she would feel uncomfortable, she said smilingly, “Yes, we know that you are speaking the truth. You don’t look like a person who lies. Don’t worry, come and try the gown with us!”

Zhao Anan had known how introverted Zheng Lun could get, so she didn’t crack too many jokes, because she had once teased her so hard that she had started to shed tears! Zheng Jing had gotten annoyed after what happened and Zhao Anan got so scared that she didn’t talk with Zheng Lun any more.

But Zheng Lun seemed better this time.

The three women were having fun with the clothes’ trial. There were luxurious gowns exported from UK and France by Jing Yichen in this store. All the clothes were expensive and well-made. Shangguan Ning and her friends kept on trying one after another, and even the introverted Zheng Lun looked excited.

Women were born not to resist beautiful clothes and shoes, especially wedding gowns!

Zheng Lun soon became comfortable with Shangguan Ning and Zhao Anan. She no longer stumbled with her words but talked smoothly. The three women were soon engaged in a serious discussion.

Shangguan Ning said in an excited tone as she held up a white wedding gown. “Look, this wedding gown looks so nice! Would I look like a princess in this dress?”

“Ning, I think that this dress looks great too! Look, the waist line is well done and beautiful rubies adorn the collar. Luxurious and beautiful!” Zheng Lun sounded very gentle speaking in her nice voice. Shangguan Ning had asked her to call her by name after knowing that they were just a year apart. After all, it sounded quite weird for her to address her as “Sister.”

Zhao Anan didn’t think that any of the gowns fit her well. She found that all of them were not very convenient for her to wear.

“Ning, do they have something in pants?”

Shangguan Ning and Zheng Lun got startled and then started to laugh hard.

They had never heard about anyone wearing pants at a wedding.

Shangguan Ning said as she smiled, “Lady Zhao, I don’t think that they are available. Maybe you have to design them yourself!”

Zheng Lun also said laughing, “Anan, we are all wear dresses at the wedding. How can we have you wear pants at the wedding?”

Zhao Anan tugged her short hair and said in an embarrassed tone, “But I don’t like dresses. I like pants. It makes walking easier. I can’t walk in dresses.”

Shangguan Ning glared at her and spoke in a threatening tone, “Don’t you dare to wear pants as my bridesmaid!”
