Chapter 904: A Leopard Never Changes Its Spots Even If He Admits His Mistakes
Lu Qianqian and Lin Mu’an’s engagement party was personally organized by Mama Lu. Lin Mu’an’s aunt also contributed a little. Old Master Lin wanted to throw a big party for the two of them. Even if the threat that was Song Bozhi was still there, he knew that he should trust his grandson.
It was July, and it was hot. Lu Qianqian’s engagement party was arranged to be held by the seaside. Although it was a little rushed, the venue was quickly set up because they were all wealthy families and the Lu family was willing to splurge.
At this moment, Lu Qianqian’s engagement party was two days away.
Mu Qiqi did as she arranged and rested at home.
Thinking that there were only the mother and daughter pair at Lu Qianqian’s house, Mu Qiqi called her in the afternoon to ask if there was anything else she needed help with.
Now that Lu Qianqian had a capable assistant like Vice President Qin, she had her off-duty hours freed up and could arrive home on time at 8:30 pm.
From time to time, she could even skip work to do some things that she wanted to do. So now, she could only wait to be a prospective newlywed. There was nothing that she needed to do.
“Now, I’m going to the wedding dress shop to try on the dress again. The manager called me and asked me to confirm it. If there’s a problem with the size, I can still modify it,” Lu Qianqian answered Mu Qiqi on the phone.
“Wasn’t it good after the test that day?” Thanks to the encounter with Song Bozhi that day, Mu Qiqi didn’t have a good impression of that place. “Are you going alone today?”
“I’m only going to try it on and come home. Mu’an will meet me directly from the police academy, so you don’t have to worry.” Lu Qianqian smiled. Mu Qiqi was being too cautious. “So, just stay at home. It’s late, and I can’t let you come out. The baby needs to rest.”
Since Lin Mu’an was available, she didn’t say anything.
“You’re about to get engaged. You have to be careful.”
“Got it. Mu’an will be back tonight. He will only leave after the engagement party is over. You should be relieved, right?”
With a man around, Mu Qiqi was naturally relieved.
“Then, you should give it a try. Remember to call me if there’s anything.”
“Pregnant lady, your new name is naggy.”
Mu Qiqi hung up the phone and frowned. Master Xiao also said that she was a chatterbox. Was she really naggy?
Sheng Xiao was flipping through some documents when he saw Mu Qiqi’s frown. He teased, “Your face changed into that over the phone?”
“I’m self-reflecting!”
“You’re brave enough to admit your mistakes…” Sheng Xiao looked away and the corners of his mouth curled up. “You won’t change even if you die.”
Mu Qiqi was a little resentful. Since when did she become such a worrier?
..
At 7 p.m., Lu Qianqian arrived at the entrance of the wedding dress shop. This was the time she had agreed to meet with the store manager. Half an hour later, Lin Mu’an came straight from the police academy. However, she didn’t want Lin Mu’an to see her in the wedding dress right now.
Lin Mu’an had participated in the design of the wedding dress during the whole process. She didn’t know how he managed to do it while he was at the police academy.
Hence, when they reached the wedding dress store, she told the store manager, “Hurry up and let me try it on.”
The store manager had already hung the wedding dress outside and had the assistant take it down. “Help Miss Lu change into it.”
“Okay,” the assistant replied, head lowered.
Lu Qianqian smiled the entire time and looked at the assistant. “Sorry to trouble you.”
The two of them entered the fitting room together. It was spacious, but Lu Qianqian felt a little weird, so she said with a faint smile, “The perfume in your fitting room is a little too strong.”
The assistant didn’t dare to look at Lu Qianqian and only explained, “A customer brought a child here today and the kid accidentally dirtied the fitting room, so the store manager asked us to spray some perfume.”
“I see.” Lu Qianqian looked into the mirror. Then, she saw a double image in the mirror. “Is there a problem with this mirror?”
“Huh? Problem?” The assistant quickly asked.
Lu Qianqian turned her head. Just as she was about to say something, she felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
The assistant’s heart raced, but she had to do something after receiving money. So, she immediately chose a lot of tricky angles to make Lu Qianqian look like she was sleeping and resting with only simple undergarments on her.
After taking photos, the little assistant immediately shouted to the store manager, “Store manager? Store manager? Miss Lu has fainted.”
The store manager immediately pushed open the door of the fitting room and covered Lu Qianqian’s body with clothes after seeing Lu Qianqian sitting on a stool, unconscious. “Call the emergency number. If anything happens, we can’t afford to take responsibility.”
After the little assistant heard that, she quickly nodded and walked out of the fitting room. She took out her phone and called the emergency number.
The store manager helped Lu Qianqian put on her original clothes. The two of them helped Lu Qianqian to the sofa. Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, Lu Qianqian woke up.
Seeing this, the store manager immediately let out a sigh of relief. “Miss Lu, you scared me. Are you okay?”
Lu Qianqian sat up with her hands on her head. Her head felt a little heavy.
The store manager quickly handed her some water. “Drink some.”
After drinking a cup of warm water, Lu Qianqian was completely awake. “What happened?”
“You fainted in the fitting room,” the store manager explained. “Are you too tired from work? Or are you already pregnant?”
“Maybe I’m too tired from work,” Lu Qianqian replied. However, she was very puzzled because she was really not tired recently. How could it be for no reason? “Also, the perfume smell in your dressing room is too strong.”
“If it’s because of that, I’m really sorry. It’s because it got dirtied by a child this afternoon, so we sprayed it with perfume.”
It was exactly as the little assistant had explained.
“I might be a little uncomfortable with that smell…”
“It’s good that you’re okay.” The store manager poured more water for Lu Qianqian and asked the doctor to check on her. After making sure that Lu Qianqian was okay, she was relieved.
“I won’t use this perfume anymore.”
Lu Qianqian sat quietly on the sofa. Then, the store manager picked up the dress and said, “Let’s try another room.”
When Lin Mu’an arrived at the wedding dress shop, Lu Qianqian had already tried it on. She didn’t seem to care about the incident just now.
“Why didn’t you wait for me to try it again?”
“If I let you see it now, there won’t be any surprises on the day of the engagement,” Lu Qianqian explained with a smile.
Lin Mu’an hugged her and kissed her forehead. “Alright, for the most beautiful you, I’m willing to wait.”
“Mr. Lin and Miss Lu, the two of you are really a good match. I sincerely wish the two of you a happy engagement.” The store manager stood beside the two of them and gave them her best wishes. “Tomorrow night, we will send someone to deliver the dress to Miss Lu’s mansion. Please rest assured.”
